Root Samsung galaxy s5 Active G870A (AT&T) G870AUCU2BOF2 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

Hello, change my old "S4 active" for a new "S5 active" and I would like to be root , I have the version 5.0 with the number of Compilation G870AUCU2BOF2.
There is a way to root this version? or if I have to do downlograde please let me the link to the thread.
Thank you. :fingers-crossed:

You cannot downgrade or root, and most likely never will on this phone.

Thanks to geohot over at towelroot.com we can all bask in the glory of absolute freedom. Until a custom recovery is confirmed we won't be flashing any ROMS so when one is found please post in this section. As well as any custom ROMS known to be compatible with the galaxy s5 g900a.
Anyone thought about SafeStrap yet? Is this a possibility?

s5 Active too please.
We need a thread too? Or will all of this work on Actives?
Hopefully we will all learn more and I don't have to risk installing everything.

I don't believe a custom recovery will work with a locked bootloader.

The Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge had root, but only on the two earliest builds of the OS. The root exploit was patched after that and because the bootloader remains locked, there is no way to root any newer builds. Verizon phones have never been root friendly. Usually very soon after root is obtained the next OTA disables root permanently.

Help determining which nougat/marshmallow ROM to user for model SAMSUNG-SM-G900A

I'm trying to upgrade my buddie's phone here. Not very familiar with the s5 community and what's available..
Can this phone be rooted, TWRP'd, and flashed to nougat or marshmallow officially or otherwise?
Please help, any advice is appreciated.. Thanks
Depends on what version of android you have now if it can be rooted. If you have lollipop or marshmallow, then no, there is no root. Marshmallow is available via ota update.

Those instructions are for KitKat, it was patched in Lollipop.
Give me the baseband version of your phone (in settings, looks something like G900AUCU4BOF3)

As of now all you can try is Kingroot, which may or may not work (haven't tested it). Let's see if we can get as far as root and then we'll go into ROMing

OK kingroot didn't work.. got the "not adaptable" message..
Looks like I'll try to get the official marshmallow update by downloading it and flashing it from my pc..

NO DON'T!! YOU WILL BLOW A QFUSE AND THE PHONE WILL NEVER EVER BE ROOTABLE!
Your best bet is to wait for an iovyroot build and try that

Well my buddy will accept leaving his phone on official lollipop, but would at least like all the att apps removed...
Can I uninstall these apps rather than disable them? No root = no titanium backup [emoji52]
