What build number are you on OP?
The instructions will be the same from the link, but you will have to substitute another kernel if you aren't on OA1.

There's no pre-rooted firmware for your current firmware available here. But you can root it yourself. Explore this forum, you'll found many tutorial and tools you need.

post here when a custom recovery is found to be working on the AT&T Galaxy s5 G900a
Thanks to geohot over at towelroot.com we can all bask in the glory of absolute freedom. Until a custom recovery is confirmed we won't be flashing any ROMS so when one is found please post in this section. As well as any custom ROMS known to be compatible with the galaxy s5 g900a.
Anyone thought about SafeStrap yet? Is this a possibility?

I don't believe a custom recovery will work with a locked bootloader.

Hi! I've just tried towelroot and it shoved in my face that my phone is not supported. I have tried the different modstrings and my kernel date is 28.11.2013 (should be supported). Any thoughts and ideas would be appreciated. Thank you!

Use odin to root your i9305. check the odin guide below in my signature and follow the steps to root your device, very easy
Thank you! I was thinking about Odin but yet again I was curious why the towelroot was not working uder those conditions. But I guess root is root no matter how you get it

Somehow the new towelroot is not compatible with the i9305. knowing this because it happened to me too . until i decided to try the version 1 and version 2 . and version 2 worked for me. Now i don't see any difference whether you root with odin or with towelroot. Unless you don't want your knox warranty void.. that's the only difference. if you did upgraded to 4.3 and you rooted your device with a different method other than towelroot, it will void your knox warranty.

Okay, so I've searched and searched and haven't found an answer for this. I have a galaxy s5 I bought from att a while back, I have since unlocked it and switched to t mobile. I'm needing to root it but after I roll back the update with odin (?) then will I be able to upgrade again with the same process? Or is this cross platform fubar not going to work? I need to get my native tethering to work. Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Well for starters, a little more info about the phone would be helpful. What are you currently running, firmware version etc.
Looks like 4.4.2 and it's a g900a. It's also been Sim unlocked and the IMEI had been swapped. But everything else is from the factory AT&T.

Read step 5 in the OP you'll see "towel root" that's how you root 4.4.2
Towelroot will work if the kernel is 22 Jul 2014? I though there was a cut off?

If your on 4.4.2 then towel root should work. If it don't then just download the NCE downgrade file from the OP of that same thread and flash using the AP slot in odin 3.09 then use towel root again. I have used that downgrade file and total root numerous times. If your on 5.0 them don't use any of it as it will not work.

This is the towel root file that i use. There was like 3 different versions.

Sort of related, but I have an S5 on 4.4.4. I know I will need to downgrade temporally to perform the rooting process (no big deal, I had to do manual tweaking on my DROID 4 during its rooting process), but at this time my phone is unlocked (g900a). Will the process listed in muniz_ri's tutorial ruin the phone's unlocked state? I've never dealt with GSM stuff so this is all new to me.

No. The sim unlock information is in a different partition which is almost never touched by any ROMs.
