I do not know if there is root for the G version but a rooted phone worked just fine on AT&T last time I did it. Personally I have not really found a reason to root the 5 though.

Before I screw up my phone I have a couple of questions. I have a SGH-I537 running 4.2.2 MF3. First off I don't have AT&T anymore. I have H2O wireless. Wanted to know if that made a difference first off. If it does is there still a way for me to root my phone? I would also like to know if there is a way for me to update to kitkat? Thank you, this is the best site.

Please search before posting. All of this information can be found in the i537 Firmware Thread.
I read it and didnt see anything about having H2O wireless. They were all for AT&T or T-Mobile or overseas carriers. can I just do it like I have AT&T?

Yes.
I recently purchased the GS5 active and was wondering will there be a new phone thread created specifically for this model or will the GS5 ATT thread work with the active as well. I know of some minor differences manly the fingerprint scanner and the extra shortcut button on the side. Will that affect me from putting roms on that are meant for the s5. Of course this is all theoretical as of now but if anyone could give me a little insight that would be very much appreciated.
I think they will make a new Phone thread for the Active. I hope we get root when the S5 gets root.
My Active (Camo) will be here tomorrow.
Coolest phone ever!!!

Same It looks amazing I just wish they made the back metal. Such a bad move on ATT to lock the boot loader. Its seems futile at this point people are going to root and mod there phones at this point no matter what.

Hi. IF you have not rooted your S5 Active yet, I can confirm that Towelroot is able to root the device. My ATT S5 Active in Camo is rooted using Towelroot. However, I cannot confirm if the new custom ROMS that work on the S5 will work on the S5 Active. Still looking for for a custom ROM to bring back the Stock Car Mode and the Voice Controls.

Ya thank you I wouldn't recommend to try them I recently tried flashing the download booster it soft broke my phone and there is now was to fix it at the moment except to send it back to samsung or waiting for the firmware to come out. Also the Gs5 active usies a dif. firmware "sm-g870a" which I learnt the hard way while trying to use the fix for the att version.
This is an example of why you don't buy the special versions of a phone if you plan on doing anything custom with it because usually the original gets the most attention. No need for all the other versions, anyway. Just buy a case and a good screen protector and you have an active. Pointless versions.

This is why you read through ALL the threads in the AT&T S5 section before trying to flash **** LOL. If he had read he would know we can't flash things on S5's yet. Way to go! You must be trying to get yourself a nice paperweight man.

Happy new member of the S5 Active club.
Have owned/used most all of the last two years of flagship phones and I really like how this one sits in my hand. If only HTC would figure out that their camera still sucks I'd likely have the M8.
Will see how it holds up but I do feel it's a better combination than phone and case in terms of feel. I'm sure the corners will get beaten up and it'll show other wear a case would usually protect but going to give it a go with this one. The chrome wore off my S4 even with a case so who knows what this will bring.
BTW, YAY REDish (I'm a guy, we only see like 8 colors)

Hey no need for that we all make mistakes once in a while I was excited and I wasn't thinking. Also I didn't flash a rom I meant to say I used the gs5 toolkit to get rid of bloatware...
Dont worry about that dude, at least you learned, and thats what XDA is all about But as excited as you (we all) get, you have to READ READ READ like theres no tomorrow! because as that guy stated, you dont want to end up with a $650 paper weight, no phone and still pay att for their "service" lol and be patient, enjoy the stock phone for now, because once the gates open up when the firmware is released, you're going to have all kinds of fun!

I have used the Tool Kit, (worked perfectly) I have rooted, Installed SS, phone is sick now and running great. I also flashed a T-Mobile ROM, an International ROM, both work and is fine. The Active can do all of those things with only losing your extra button function. I am now back to my Stock rooted firmware but its all good. I will be waiting on a Active Forum and DEV work there. So far, everything is okay flashing regular s 5 stuff.
You flashed a T-Mobile rom?

I read and saw that you said that you flashed a T-Mobile rom... Did Wi-Fi calling work? I'm using my s5 active unlocked on T-Mobile now and until there's a way to unlock the aws bands like they did on the S4 active(hopefully they will) I'll be stuck with edge until the network refarm is complete. I'm definitely interested in seeing how you did that.

Sorry, the WiFi Calling did not work. I think only T-Mobile sims for that. We have our own ROM for the active now so I have stopped flashing different ROMs.

I bought a US Cellular Note 5 from a Wal-Mart on their $199 deal and had been led to believe it could be used on Verizon (Slickdeals professors) but today is last day to return and I am in a quandry...
I need to be sure it is unlocked.
I need to make sure it will work on Verizon
In other words, " I NEED help!"
The phone still says US Cellular when it turns on AND when I put a generic Verizon Sim card in, it doesn't recognize it - th e SIM card had not been used before.
The clock is ticking (my fault) and I am still outside the Wal-Mart hoping for feedback.
I thank you all in advance.
Hey all, I've been on the sprint note4 for a couple years now, but I've been unlocked using GSM. As you probably know, i don't get lte.
So to get to the point, I'm finally thinking about taking the dive and buy a N910T so i can get LTE. I use Cricket, everything seems to look like LTE will work fine.
My question, Is there anything I need to know about the n910t, that i might be missing? Like any certain model number that is better or not root able? Or flawed?
Thanks!
Also: was looking at this device, is it a good deal?

Hello, first post here. I usually just lurk. I recently bought the US Unlocked version of the note 9, model SM-N960U1. I see posts about only the Exonys units being the only ones with unlocked bootloaders. Will the carrier unlocked Snapdragon model have a locked bootloader?

Not so sure about that, people say that all the time but then in the upcoming months root happens. The note 8 got root. And so did the other varients. So why wouldn't this one? Just gotta have faith, this phone is popular and I'm sure alot of people will be on this phone. It just dropped on Friday! Give it a chance

I thought the root was a partial root and not a full blown one?

i mean it rooted and stayed on root, even when you shut it down. It never went away unless you go back to stock

samsung or any carrier will ever advertise a phone as being unlocked other than meaning sim/region. you screwed your self in thinking it meant bootloader.
