I am trying to root my galaxy s5 but I'm in training and have no access to a computer anyway to root with out computer galaxy sm 900A
Sorry
Currently there is no easy way to root without a computer. If you have updated to Android 4.4.4 then you are going to have some troubles. The towelroot app by Geohot used to work, but ever since Android 4.4.4 and possibly some earlier versions, the kernel has been rebuilt, and towelroot cannot work. If you really want it badly I'd search on how to install an older firmware. Then once it's installed, you towelroot.

Hello,
I have a samsung galxay s 5 running on android 4.4.2. its model number is samsung-sm-g900a. I rooted it 6 months ago but decided to unroot it when the lollipop update came out, so i would be able to get the update. I used odin and downloaded the samsung galaxy s5 stock. I have tried twice to unroot my phone but after i go through the process and download root checker on the play store, i find that my device is still rooted. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The downgrade to nce file should work fine, ive used it multiple times and been unrooted. You can load the lollipop update prerooted thlugh if you want to do it that way, which a guide for is in general.

I'm running the pre-rooted lollipop on an at&t S5 and works very well. If you unroot and get the official OTA update, you'll be stuck unrooted until someone finds a way to root again.
If you use the pre-rooted file you can go back to KitKat if you don't like the new Lollipop.
Hello All
I want to root my S5 I have tried Towelroot.com and i have downloaded App, once i press make it rain I get error This phone isn't supported.
I have Canadian version SM-G900w8
Android 5.00
Baseband Version G900W8VLU1BOc2
Is there a way to root without triggering KNOW
Which version of CyanogenMod I can use?
I don't remember the exact kernel version, but towelroot only works on android 4.4.2. The exploit that it used to gain root was fixed June 2014.
There is another tool you could try, Google for King root.
Not sure if it works though on the S5.

This isn't CyanogenMod
I've seen a couple Wind phones with this on and a newer version of Odin used to install it

Will there ever be a root method for samsung s5 which requires no pc? I know there is King Root but it just says root stragety unavailable, what can i do?
From what I've been reading, there is not current method to root an ATT variant with lollipop.
QUESTION:
Is anyone working on this or is it never going to happen for this phone? I just got mine and have been checking in almost daily in hopes!
no root still
Still no root , i am also looking hopelessly for a root method still find none :crying:
Ok so first let me apologize if I overlooked a similar post but I've been having root issues for weeks now and haven't found my exact situation yet.
Here's the background. I have an AT&T Note 3 N900A. When I got the phone I had no issue using towel root to root the device. Worked first try. I'm new to rooting and I was in love with all the new options. I started small playing with xposed and fonts overclocking etc. Then started researching custom Roms. Discovered cwm twrp wouldn't work with my locked boot loader so researched and got safestrap. Did the backup made my new Rom slot and with a guide I attempted my 1st custom Rom flash. FAIL. bootloop. Revert to stock Rom via Odin. Download towel root. Rooted. No problem.
2nd attempt at custom Rom flash with safe strap. fail. Download another stock firmware (at this point I was still dumb to the difference between NL1 NC2 OC2 etc). And in still dumb to oxed and deoxed. But apparently I got out of bootloop with a different firmware version this time around. First I decided to run lollipop 5.0. Towel root said device not suported. Now I'm running 4.4.4 NL1. device not supported. Also can't get kingoroot king root(pc or non pc) cf or anything else I've tried to work. From what I've read I need to go back to the NC2 4.4.2 and run towel root from there.
My current issue is I have no windows pc to run Odin on and my wife's MacBook refuses to install the Mac version correctly nor will it load the Web based version on the casual page.
I just figured out that I can't use safe strap to flasthe nc2 until I'm rooted. And without Odin to revert I'm scared to try any other method without some guidance.
First off... Is there any way to root my current 4.4.4 without going to the nc2 or if I allow my phone to upgrade to 5.o again is there a non pc root method on lollipop yet?
Or would I be able to download a nc2. Zip to my phone save to sd and use the note 3 stock recovery to revert? ?
I'm open to any suggestions you guys may have even if I haven't mentioned it in my post. Hope to get some answers asap and thanks in advance!!
I'm not familiar with the Note 3 for AT&T but Heimdall (in place of Odin on a PC) may work on your mac to flash ROMs.

Yeah I tried that a while back but it was b4 I knew this much. Maybe j can get it working now. I was just hoping there was an easier way.
I've been looking for ages across XDA fourms and other sources for a reliable way to root my G920A, and I've found barely anything. I've mainly been wanting to root for the purpose of getting Kali Linux NetHunter, but there's a few sources that say there are ROMs that are already Pre-Rooted (which- i'm assuming means, all i do is boot it/install and it's pre-rooted without the extra hassle required).
basically; any reliable roots for G920AUCS4CPG1 (ver. 6.0.1) using ODIN or whatever is needed so I can get Nethunter on my phone? If there are no roots for 6.0.1, any ways to downgrade to 5.1.1 and root it from there?
