Is there anyway possible to root this device on the Lollipop update, 5.0? Other than keeping the root from v4.4, and then updating to 5.0.
If not, is there anyway possible to install Xposed Framework without root as well? That is really the only purpose of my devices being rooted is.

Using the search button answers both of those questions as there is already multiple thread that keep popping up asking the same thing. Don't mean to be rude but searching can be your friend.

I've tried looking, but I could find was Keeping the root from 4.4, then updating to lollipop. But I'm already in Lollipop. I can't find nothing else.

DO NOT DO IT! Just search this forum, downgrading causes bricks, and most likely you will end up with a phone that doesn't work at all.

A temp root is available now. It is somewhat limited, but still useful. See towelpieroot in the themes and apps subforum.
No custom rom ability, but can run most root apps.

If you weren't rooted before the update I don't think there is a way right now at this point.

Thank you thats what I kinda figured. Thanks for clearing that up. Hopefully they figure a way to root it.
Figured that's what the deal was.
I believe that you can odin back to 4.4.2 NC2 without issues and then towelroot and safestrap. Follow the thread in general section.

Do you know if this method works for Verizon? Im total stock on 4.4.4
I solved some issues I was having, thought I would share.
Notice Chrome freezing or responding really slowly? Or do you hate not having easy access to tabs and functions? Go to Settings and disable 'Merge tabs and apps'.
Can't remove system apps? Grab the app 'Parcel' from Google play. Uninstall the apps 3 times in a row, then reboot.
All I got for now...
Feel free to share yours!

To the best of my knowledge, for those of us who were not already rooted on KK, a Lollipop root exploit is not available yet.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I have a SM-G900V (Verizon) not T-Mobile as the link you supplied reflects. That link also states "CF-Auto-Root is not yet available for all models". I searched the forum and found no instance of "Verizon" or "900V". Thank you anyway. I'll keep monitoring the forum.

Sorry, first line in that thread is "**You can begin the following process from any build/ROM but you must have both root and Safestrap installed before proceeding**".
No other suggestions?
Why don't you downgrade to an old firmware and then update with the thread I posted? Don't know about rooting on a g900v as I've got a G900F
I want to learn how to root my phone than install customs roms, but im just scared because my phone almost got bricked, so can someone give me a full tutorial and download links thank you

You have a lot of reading to do. Search for rooting s5. Make sure you understand everything before trying to modify your phone. I'd hate to see you bricked.

He means, go to Settings>About Device and look what the Android Version is. If it is 5.0 then do not bother looking to root your device...it's not possible on an ATT device with Android 5.0 right now.

yea its 5.0, is it possible to downgrade it? if it is, what version do you think is good enough to root?
You can't downgrade if you're already on 5.0, and even if you could, you can't install anything beyond Touchwiz (Samsung) based ROMs because of a locked bootloader.
Let me know if you have any luck

Thank you for posting this question because I am in the exact same situation. I have an AT&T Galaxy S 5 Android 5.1.1. I was never interesting in rooting my phone until just recently and have been doing some light reading on Life Hacker to learn more and it brought me here. I just wanted to clarify your comment above. Are you saying that having the phone that I/we have we are completely out of luck if we wanted to root/modify our phones? Forever or just until something changes down the road?
Well I sold my at&t s5 and ordered a unlocked tmobile s5 to use on at&t with my sim card because you can root the tmobile version. I hope one day soon someone will figure out how to root it I believe it will be done soon just keep checking back on here.

Well, yeah! But you need to downgrade first. Note that I don't test it, so use it at your own risk! Also I recommend that you use a good cable, or else...

I don't think that will work, the firmware listed there is 4.4.2 which is KitKat, you can not downgrade to KK if you are on lollipop or marshmallow, you could soft brick or worse. I would not attempt this unless you are actually on KK.

For future reference, don't give these unsure ideas to people and tell them to update their phones like this. At the moment, YOU CANNOT GET ROOTED LOLLIPOP 100% of the time unless you were/are on 4.4.2 KitKat with root (use Towelroot) and update through muniz_ri's update method. Trying to downgrade to KitKat will result in a bricked device as the thread previously mentioned.
The reason why root persists on 5.0 when you update it via this method is due to using the older bootloader which doesn't verify the system's integrity the same way the newer bootloaders do.

OK, thanks for explaining and sorry for making these unsure posts.
I actually doesn't have the s5 att(except for a family member). I really just wanna help a little.
I'm sorry for the numb question. The forums here are really confusing. I'm a veteran jailbreaker but I'm completely lost on Android rooting
Hey Gabedurhamm:
sadly, there isn't any root avalable for G925AOJ9 5.1.1 at the moment. Probably there never will be, since the bootloader is locked and the devs are not interested in trying so...
AT&T sucks....

They are Kernels with root capabilities via ADB
if I do the adb root method could I sim unlock the phone with an app and revert back to stock ROM?
