Help With Rooting

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.

S5 rooted help

current software 4.4.2 what's the best way to update to update the software to latest new to root

What phone model? G800F, G800H, etc?
Most versions have official Lollipop from Samsung, you can update it using OTA, no root needed and it won't trip Knox warranty. If your model doesn't have a version for your particular country then you can use Odin to flash a compatible version (same model, another country) and it should keep your warranty.
If you want Marshmallow then there is no official version yet. You can get a custom ROM, then you will need TWRP either using Odin or rooting first.

Thanks for the reply ! I'm a idiot ... I have an s4 mini lol
I have rooted it I used king root (GT -19195 ) I'm new to all this so bare with me !

If you meant GT-i9195 or anything other than G800-something then probably you're in the wrong forum, you will get better help in the appropriate forum for your device.
Secondly, if you've used KingRoot then either stick to KingUser app (SuperSU won't work) or you need to replace it completely either using an app or some script, both don't work always...

G920AUCS5DPJ1 Root?

Any way to root 6.0.1 G920AUCS5DPJ1 yet? Did some research but could not find a way to root for this particular build. Any update?

I've been searching for an easier method to root my phone and I'm shocked at how few options there are to root my s6. I've always been able to come across more than enough information to root all the previous galaxy phones but for some reason there doesn't seem to be an easy method (like ping-pong root or something automated) I'd appreciate if anyone has any feedback on rooting the new build after the November security patch the build number is G925AUCS5DPK1

Feedback is, there is no root for the new builds.

And is there any way to go back to old builds flashing with ODIN an old stock firmware?

I confirm: once you get the phone on a newer version, you can't downgrade it. I tried to go from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 flashing with ODIN. The ODIN process went well, but after the phone took the older load, it got stuck in the ANDROID screen
To get it back to life i had to flash again its original stock version at 6..0.1
So the question is if there will be any developement on S6 ATT 6.0.1 to get it rooted or TWRP. RIght now it seems we are stuck. No root, No custom rom I will keep my S4 that performs like a charm with root and custom roms!

Development has been essentially dead on the ATT version for many months.

Thanks @dandrumheller for the reply
I am debating myself to try something even i know is highly possible i break the phone. I really need a rooted phone and this s6 is a replacement for my s6 given to me by ATT. If i can't get it rooted, it will sit there forever. So probably i will take the risk to try to root/load anything experimental
:S

Used KingRoot to root my device, but cannot uninstall it after with SuperSume

I'm using a Samsung-SGH-I537UCUCOC7, Android Version is 5.0.1
TowelRoot didnt work for my device so I used KingRoot as a last resort. However I only wanted to use it to install the root and not have it around as its a bit intrusive. I tried using SuperSume but no matter what I do when I run it, it always stops at 10%. I've tried 5 different times.
Do I have any other options?

Do you have full root or does it go away when you reboot? If you have permanent root and SuperSUMe is not working there is also a script file you can use. You'll have to search for it. I had the same problem with a Kyocera Hydro Icon I had. I ended up using the script, but I think I figured out why at first neither of them were working.
If you could try something as a test for me I'd appreciate it. In my case I rooted the phone with an older version of kingroot, then kingroot updated itself to the new app...but not the new binary. So I unrooted with the newer app and then rerooted with it also so I would have the new binary. After that the script worked for me and I bet SuperSUMe would've too, but I tried the script first.
So try unrooting and rerooting with the newest version then try SuperSUMe...if it fails then try to find the script.

I used version 5.0.4 of kingroot. How low do you want me to go?
Also the binary thing your talking about I noticed it when I downloaded SuperSU it said it was missing some binary and I couldnt use that app either even after I rooted with KingRoot. It sounds like my only hope is that script you were talking about but I'll try a lower version of KingRoot first. I have no idea where I would look to find that script so I can get more info what I'm suppose to search for let me know.

For me I rooted with whatever version you get from their website, but after you root it downloads and updates itself. I unrooted and rerooted with the update to get the new binary. Also, I'll see if I still have a copy of the script on my cpu. If I do I'll post you a link.

I used version 4.5 instead of the latest 5.0.4 and afterwards ran SuperSume. It got rid of it no problem and I still have my root access. Thank you.
last question, I also own a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. It was my first Android phone ever and I wasnt aware that AT&T keeps the bootloader locked on their phones. Will any amount of begging and crying to them get them to unlock the bootloader? If the answer is no are there any unofficial means to unlock my bootloader for the phone?

Not too sure but I think it's possible. They unlocked and rooted the verizon and t-mobile versions, so possibly...maybe even by the same process. Search youtube.

g900a baseband u4 5.1.1 lolipop

What am I able to do with this baseband version? [root/custom rom]
I know towel root wont work.
im not sure if I can still download and flash prerooted roms to obtain root access without unlockong the bootloader on a lower android version.
Are any exploits that were known in the past for this baseband version working or have worked at all, anyone to describe?
Also please dont link me to old threads that have been linked in similar theada asking questions like this (theyre mostly broken and are unproductive), a simple no is fine and an end of conversation. (itll be enough for me to sell this as garbage 7 years later)
