Is anyone currently working on a G870A OF2/3 root?
I know this question has been asked a lot around here in the past year, but they all dead end with useless information. So, I'm asking again on the 14th of December 2015; Is there anyone working on a root for the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active (SM-G870A) after the of2/3 ota update. Also, I've seen a lot of answers to the question of weather my device can be downgraded and they've been all over the place. I'm sorry if there is a bit of repetition but there has been too much confusion on this subject and I'm looking for clarification. If I've broken any rules without realizing then please let me know. Thanks.
EDIT: With a little more research I was able to clear up my second question, but my first still stands: Is anyone working on a root for the SM-G870A and can you point me in the direction of a blog so I'm not hanging so far off the edge of my seat waiting for it.

I am completely new to the Samsung Galaxy Tab. I have rooted it this morning and now I would like to update it. However, I would like to keep the root if possible?
I have spent an hour searching on this forum and I am more confused than I was originally. All I am looking for is to be pointed in the right direction with as less slang as possible? ADB,CWM,ODIN,ROMS>> Can you please help me by pointing me in the right direction?

I guess the main question is...HOW do you want to update it? What is it you are trying to achieve? Custom ROM? Just making stock faster without custom ROM?
Describe what you want to achieve in order to get best answers.
Good Evening:
This is my first time and first post here. I've gotten pretty frustrated and am hoping someone can help me out? I have a Galaxy S phone, model number SHW-110S; firmware: 2..2; kernel: 2.6.32.9; build version: FroYo.SK22. I've been all over the net and can't seem to get the users manual specific to this particular phone. So, I have a number of questions? Let's start with this one: where can I get/download a users manual specific to this phone? If it becomes too difficult to find, then my next question would be: Can I upgrade this phones O.S.? Now, there are still many more questions, but I think that's enough to get started in the right direction.
Thank You:
Rick
Hi, ive been lurking a long time and I believe that your model of the Galaxy is a Korean version.
I found this page about turning the SHW-110S into an I9000 model. I can't post the link since i have less than 10 posts so just look up Turn SHW-110S to GT-I9000 (Samsung Galaxy S) on Google
I hope it can help you in some way. :good:
Maybe it helps asking your question in the galaxy s q&a subforum

Afternoon kishagi:
You are correct; it is a Korean make/model. It was with great interest that I read you reply. NO ONE has suggested this maneuver. And keeping with that theme, would it not be best just to upgrade the O.S? As far as I can tell, I can go only as far as Honeycomb 2,3,6(?). Now, should I option for this upgrade, I wonder if I'd be able to activate the FM/TV receiver in the phone? I've done a LOT of searching and believe I've found the answer to the FM question. That is to install a widget called simply "Galaxy S radio widget". However, it seems that widget is defunct(?). So, could you suggest another widget that is comparable and compatible with this phone? And would you know if I'd upgrade whether this widget would still operate in Honeycomb? THANX for responding and my apologies for taking so long to reply!

ADDENDUM: This has got to be THE most frustrating forums/site I've ever been in!!!! Once you login, just trying to get back to this forum/subforum is a nightmare!! I'm also extremely disappointed by the lack of response/lack of knowledge this supposedly "special forum" delivers. Read the "into" to this forum, it clearly deceives anyone that comes to this forum into thinking their phones issues might be solved. I've not only had so much difficult in trying to start/post a "thread" (hell, most of the time I can't even find the "icon" to tik), once I login, I have one hell of a time even finding/getting into this subforum. I'm not getting/receiving responses to my questions. Clearly, there was no one devoting "'special" attention/service" to this forum as stated in the introduction. IF I find where to unsubscribe I will certainly do so. TO THE DEVELOPERS OF THIS FORUM: You and this supposed forum are a sad joke and a complete waste of time and space.!!!!!
Hi everyone, I have read a dozen of articles regarding the rooting process of my S4 Active I9295 but none really stick to my head as one that doable or secured. Maybe I don't really understand the context of the article since this is my first time dealing with a Samsung device. Before this I'm an active user of Sony and Huawei and pretty much knew the workaround of rooting devices. But for the sake of a noobie, it's me, can someone help to direct me to the correct procedure of rooting I9295 XXUCNF1 MALAYSIA? Thanks in advance.
Done: Helped by friend. Thanks anyway. Can the moderator delete this thread? Thank you!
So, after looking around the threads, I've noticed that it is apparently possible to root an S6A running the 5.02, which mine is, because I never bothered to update it. However, I only found bits and pieces of info, and am in need of a clear guide if possible. I am only a poweruser, and my programming knowledge is limited to gaming mods and one time when I made a batch file to use my printer as an alarm clock, so I need something I can understand as a lowly wannabe nerd. Anywho, I'd be very grateful to anyone who could help me out by explaining the process. Help me XDA-Developers, you're my only hope.
P.S. I'm not overly concerned with voiding a warranty or messing up Knox, I use a BlackBerry as my primary device and as such all my important junk is on it, so as long as I can de-bloat and use root apps, I'll be very happy.
P.P.S. I apologize in advance if I overlooked a good rooting guide, I looked around for a good ten minutes before posting this, but didn't see anything, however this may simply be due to my own ineptitude.
P.P.P.S. Also, my device doesn't have a SIM, I use it as wifi only, I don't know if that's important, but I thought I might should mention it.
Hi guys. Been a while. So, the government here has come out with a vaccine passport which will be needed to do just about anything. Therefore, I will need to upgrade the wife's S5 to 8.1, from 6.1.
Now, I see a bunch of things online obviously, but as I recall this place here was/is the holy grail for cell phones. Just hoping to not have to buy a new phone as our pensions don't leave all that much wiggle room.
Just need to be pointed in the right direction is all.
Thanks.
Crap, I may have posted this in the wrong place. Sorry.
Do you have TWRP flashed to the s5?
There aren't really any maintained roms if any now a days for the S5 but if you want the newest version look into Mokee that's 9.0 and still gets updates here and there from memory
What's the model of the s5?
Everything you need is within the s5 forums but if you need help just ask
Where do you live that the government has required such as thing?
Hi, you posted in the wrong thread, but see my tutorial here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...g-galaxy-s5-from-stock-to-android-11.4354951/
