The guy who posted the video removed it, thinking that Samsung will patch the exploit (?).
EDIT: he's selling it for $700/phone. He already rooted G920AZ, G920A, G928A running Lollipop 5.1.1.

I'm not sure why he removed it, Samsung can't patch anything without having the files, he's selling it for 700 for all phones, but I have them myself and it's not full root access witch I'm working on

Any news on the G890A Active? Would be nice to have root. Not sure how much different it is besides battery and active button.

You have the "engineering root kernel" or engineering sboot, aka bootloader?
If you have the sboot all you need is a sepolicy patched kernel for the device to boot.
Edit: Here is the G920A_OJ7_Sepolicy_Patched_Kernel.tar.md5 which should allow the device to boot with a rooted system assuming what you have is the engineering bootloader for the G920A OJ7 build. Warranty bit may be tripped.

An eng sboot is an unlocked bootloader so the sky is the limit, e.g. custom recovery, kernel, root.
Never heard of an eng kernel but it would likely have to be permissive to allow you to push in root via sbin.
Is it permissive?
My rooted G920A 5.1.1 OJ7 reads "-eng" after the kernel version (paid $40 for remote root, I do not have the file). No troubles at all, reboots fine... Maybe somebody else also working on these?

That is correct, I just checked with root checker. I guess an engineering bootloader would make it boot again? Unless the newer "eng" ones are locked also.

An engineering, unlocked bootloader will allow you to flash a patched kernel that will allow the device to boot with traditional root, i.e. a modified system.
I did some googling yesterday and thought I came across an eng G920A sboot.bin, aka bootloader (the website mistakenly called it an eng kernel). If its legit it should do the trick once paired with the patched kernel, aka boot.img, I previously posted. But I don't own a G920A so can't test.

I own one and since now own a Nexus 6P, it just sits around doing nothing. More than happy to test. Worst case I'm back to stock via Odin. Point me to the files and I'll test. I'll already tried this route once and lost root trying so I'm willing to do it again.

I read that the Cricket Galaxy S5 (G900AZ) is a rebranded AT&T S5 (G900A). Has anyone tried ODIN flashing the stock AT&T rom on the Cricket model?
For instance, i have read people flashing the Tmobile S5 stock rom on the MetroPCS version and it works fine even though the model numbers are slightly different. It changes the phone into the Tmobile version.

Did you ever get an answer to this?
NO, but....
The Cricket S5 is indeed a rebranded AT&T model. I have both of those models including a LA G900M (TTT.) Major difference is nowhere near as much bloatware, and most importantly an unlocked bootloader. The only advantage would be upgrading to MM if you want stock, since the January update still has it on LP. You're better off trying a LA stock ROM though (I say this because they use the same custom recovery) But cutom ROM's can take you there as far as 7.1 Nougat right now.
I just recently rooted my Cricket model with CF Auto-root (klteaio), flashed the latest TWRP (klte) recovery and installed Xposed Framework (by dkcldark... wanam custom won't work.) Had a little of lag first couple of days, but I guess that's to be expected. Hope this helps in some way.

You could always try it. I don't know exactly how well it will work.
You would have to be rooted FIRST on the G900A in order for FlashFire to work. If i remember correctly anything already on LP can't be rooted or downgraded back to KK.
---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------
Y'know what would be really nice???: Seeing that android updates are only good for 2yrs on a particular model after its initial released, and the given the fact that most carries plans are only 2yrs; wouldn't it be nice if (for sake of argument in THIS thread) AT&T would release a firmware for their phones, that would unlock the bootloader and possibly SIM unlock the phone as well. I mean after 2yrs the device is paid for and quite frankly no longer belongs to them. I hate the idea of being forced to either get a new device once my plan has expired or use MY phone with the carrier its branded under. Of course it probably has everything to with them making their money from those of us who can't do without having a new device every year.
So I can pull a copy of the G900AZ engineering firmware I found, but I doubt we'll be able to flash it. What is was thinking is that we use beaups CID changer to make our device into one similar to the cricket wireless one. Since it is essentially a dev edition of our phone.
You cant just flash a unlocked bootloader to a locked bootloader phone. A specific explout must be developed to defeat the bootloader. Simply shashing over it will never work.
The G900AZ is just a rebranded version of the G900A though. I don't think there are any glaring differences like there would be from G900T to G900A. If the aboot does flash then it would be a simple unlock.
@NavSad @AptLogic
If you wanna try this, here's a link to their firmwares:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900AZ/
You'd most likely need to extract the correct files and be on the correct versions before flashing these.
Apparently, something similar happened with the T-Mobile Galaxy S6, where the MetroPCS firmware was flashed on the T-mobile firmware.

Then put the sdcard in your computer and use Win32 DiskImager to write to the sdcard. After that, put the sdcard in your phone and boot into Download Mode.
If your phone isn't fixable using this method you'd have to try JTAG.

revert my phone to what? Your language is very ambiguous.
If you didn't have root before OTA 5.0 (Lollipop) you can't go back, you can't use safestrap, can't use Odin AND CANT ROOT YET. A locked loader won't allow you to use Odin to flash, and no root means can't get safestrap.. 1 click root only works before OTA 5.0 UPDATE. There is always a way but not yet.

There are a few threads on here how to get root, then upgrade to lollipop and keep root. Then you can still use safestrap to change loaders and roms. Safestrap just simply interupts the boot sequence(before the loader). I'm guessing once you upgrade, your loader will be locked also, so to change anything you'll have to have a back up on safestrap with the previous version, and unlocked loader... so you can go back and forth. I'm not sure of everything possible since my lazy ass never got root access before the update, so I'm sol for now. I'm planning on getting a new phone soon and giving this s5 to my wife anyway.

Bootloader is and has been locked, safestrap was the only recovery we had because it wasn't a traditional recovery in the sens that it didn't replace the stock one. With lollipop it broke, if you downgrade your kernel you can get it to work, but other than that you have to use flashfire which is not a recovery but simply a flashing tool. Twrp and any other recovery will not work, and any non-touchwiz based roms(aosp, aokp, cm) will not work, you have to use only touchwiz based ones and no custom kernels.

Hello all zenfone laser ze550kl/ze551kl lovers
As I posted yesterday, I have gain root access to new version .
In order to gain root access for this version, I unlock bootloader with official release of ze551kl unlock toolkit.
Since we have unlock bootloader, so we do not need to patch system file in order to gain root access.
xposed framework version78 patched released by @Shakalaka working well, xposed modules were not working properly in previous version.
Tested apps
Adaway
RootExplorer
Titanium backup
BusyBox
In order to gain root access
update your firmware to latest version,

Download attached file

connect your phone as usual, run commands to get in fastboot mode
then use command
Code:
fastboot boot boot_200007.img
(as image file have name boot_20007).
let process complete & phone will restart automatically.
Now you have working root for this version.

to apply new update you should completely unroot & flash stock boot, otherwise you may get error.
If you loss your root, then we may try again for that version.

Unless you are on an old rom, the only option to get root would be to get another phone. This phone will never again have root.
Still on Lollipop here, phone still blows.

Seems like the root methods mentioned on the forums are dangerous. Now.. I love a good rooted phone. But why couldn't I Just odin twrp and flash a SU update zip? Is it only because the bootloader is locked? Why can't I unlock the bootloader and odin twrp and SU#?? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes bootloader lock inhibits from directly flashing anything if ure on lolipop u can inject root with the modified system image. And having root is the onlything that makes the 991 worth keeping if i couldnt have root then out the door it goes. Also root is all you get no twrp clockwork mod nothin again due to locked bootloader

Yea the only root method for us is 1st lolipop only zv6 firmware which isnt mentiond any where. 2nd due to locked bl and no workaround like loki or bump for g2 and g3 it stops us from gaining root that way. Plus if im not mistaken all the root methods on previous g series have been done throught adb one clicks or stump root. But on g4 only way is to replace the system partition with one that has root injected. Its really not that bad. Im lazy and copy and paste all commands. But in the end we still only have root. With minimal system r/w acsses.
Now i may be wrong but last i heard this was only method.

Quoted for truth. Holy sh*t.
I like this phone, but I'm SOOO ready to move on. I think I'm going to try the Note 7 this year.... But only if and when they announce root has been achieved on the Note 7. I'm on ZV6 rooted, and I'd rather have root than the latest and greatest OS so LG can keep MM and N. Don't need it if I gotta give up root.
Hi, I just wanted to share what I just came across. I'm sure this will help getting root. I found a hybrid stock/samsung testing rom. Check it out, I'm sure it'll help us get root. https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1xQbXIDex1aDaAHoBmoecXPZkjtuQFAyC&export=download
UPDATE: There is an option to OEM UNLOCK. It seems to have full adb control.

I'll take a look at it.. question is, where'd you get it and do they have a g965u version?
To add, looks like a regular combo firm, they have OEM unlock option in settings and adb debuggable and permissive
Im not sure if they have a 965u version. I found it while trying to find an engineer kernel.
Any idea what the security patch is? I'm on May with the version 2 bootloader so I dunno if I can flash this but if it's the newer bootloader I could do some tests.
So I reset my s9 and I get this when trying to flash the combination ROM.
Any suggestions or is this due to the bootloader being V2
Forgot to attach the image.

I didn't get that error but I was on the April patch. That particular ROM was in the January patch I believe. I did use the modified ODIN by Raymonf.
My bad I meant the February patch (T-Mobile isn't sending any updates)
From initial look at it, it appears to be a standard combination firmware
Yeah I'm on the may update so I don't think I can flash it. Best of luck hopefully someone can find something useful with it. Anybody get it to respond to fastboot commands?
What does this mean? Can I potentially flash this, unlock my bootloader, flash TWRP?

no
Well there isn't a twrp for the snapdragon variant. However, to be fair we don't actually know what we can do with this.

There is an unofficial twrp for Chinese snapdragon models. But I did try flashing it and with no success.

Did you unlock your bootloader? What did it spit out after issuing fastboot commands
---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------
Try
fastboot flashing unlock
or
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
lemme know what it says.
I'm pretty sure fastboot commands don't work on Samsung phones. I tried fastboot devices and nothing showed up
Ah gotcha. Yeah I'm not too experienced with Samsung but from what I've read cf autoroot is the way to go or unlock with heimdall.
I guess ive got some reading up to do.
There's a guy trying to root but he needs the ENG ROM, so I sent him the link, hope he can do something
There's a link for all combination ROM either for s9 as well as s9+

Is possible to flash the ZTO G9600 (brazilian rom) to the 960u device I've bought in USA?
Thank you.
