Well first advice is to read read read these forums, lots of information.
Your phone has a quite old version of android so updating that would be a good start. Froyo 2.2.1 is the latest official which should be available in Kies for you. Gingerbread 2.3.3 is expected to be officially released for the SGS within the next 2 weeks. You can also flash custom ROMs and newer ROMs then Kies offers you yourself, but without 3-button recovery thats tricky. Atleast make/buy and test a recovery JIG before going there.
Then maybe slap on a theme of your liking and get some good apps (dont be afraid to pay a few bucks for good apps either)
Being bored of phone usually means youre not doing anything interesting or fun with it a phone in itself is only so exciting

well, there's your problem
I don't know how much you already know but I advise you to read as much stickies and rom threads as you can. After that you will probably come to the conclusion that you want to install a custom ROM. Do so and your life will change forever
If you need any help, don't hesitate to consult the search function (or ask here^^)
Have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
This is the place to start.
After you have read everything there, this would be some steps to follow:
1.Install ADB on your computer
2.Download Odin 1.7
3.Repair your 3-button recovery/download problem with Richtofen's guide (after this you can do whaterver u want with your phone, as long as you stay away from firmwares with bootloaders included)
4.Flash a 2.2.1 or 2.3.3 firmware using Odin (i recommend one of the deodexed firmwares from Ramad's thread)
5.Apply what ever theme you want
Maybe this instruction seem a little hard to understand now but after you've finished reading the wiki from the link i've posted, it will be more clearer.
thanks for all the replies I will start reading about what you guys have posted in the morning iam on my mobile now and it is late please stay in touch with me I will be replying activly and frequently thx again ! I will Risk my phone as long as you guys are here to back me up , I was afraid of applying the first 3 bottom fix as most users cried about their phones getting broken.

Being afraid in starting is normal .... but the golden rule is to read and understand several times what procedure u have to follow...and second imp thing is read n follow instructions provided in specific post.
As different rom needs different technique and different procedure.
Another thing is search youtube for videos on how to's.

Here is a link to custom rom MIUI 2.3.3. (I am not telling u to install it on ur device this is just for reference n learning purpose). It has all the instructions and also a video on how to install the rom. I would suggest just read the whole thing and try to understand what is involved in the process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
Once you done with it then find another thread of custom rom and read through it.
And even read the comments on different pages it is very useful and most of the questions are also.answered. Thats how i learned .

Yes you can. There are lots of useful posts here guiding you through and holding your hand, but *you* need to spend 5 minutes looking for them, OK?
I don't know which ROM you are on, but generally GB has been very reliable. You might wish to reflash the rom or flash another version.
As a start, look at this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Thank you very much for your help
Thank you very much for your help. I forgot to write that I don't know how to flash phone via PC. I never did it with galaxy note. I don't know which rom I have, is any link to video or info for a people which are not familiar with such things ? Thank you. All about this root-ing looks wrong for me, I need just to update to older version from uk, I don't see any uk update, and all it looks difficult for me ! I need to update do 2.3.5 without brick effect...

Your request does require you to take time reading and trying out. Probably 2 hours of reading/learning time, 1 hour installation of software and trying out.
If you are at all unsure about any of this or if it's simply too much hard work, take your phone back to a Samsung Care Point and explain your problem. They will reflash it for you.
Hey guys Whats going on. Well Ive had my S5 for a while now. And When I first got it I remember you couldnt Root the phone and One reason was it would Change or mod something with the Kernel. And doing that you would break your warranty on the phone. It has been a while since I rooted and installed Roms, since the droid bionic. Thanks again
Sooo did some reading and now see there is a Root Hack to finally Root these ATT S5 Phones... Can someone Point me in the direction on how to do this correctly?
I have a Kernel Version: 3.4.0 Tues July 22 2014
Android Version 4.4.2
I also would like to Try some Custom Roms. How do you guys Install Custom Roms?
Does we need to install Safestrap? Or any recovery Mod like that?
What I would like to do is get more from my battery as a Full battery barely lasts me a Full day at work.
Thanks guys and cant wait to get some info and advice here. Always great getting Professional Advice than searching and finding 100 different answers. :laugh:

There's stuff on this forum regarding the 64 bit system and the simple reason to why there's not a whole lot of development going on for it is because us devs can't work on something we can't see and don't have! Most of the devs are in the USA and we mostly have the 32 bit phone and that's why there's a lot more development going on for it...
Maybe this can help you out and at least get you rooted and going in the right direction...

Well you could still benefit from rooting it you know... You could get rid of the boost bloatware and do lots of other thing's. If you like eye candy you can use the Xposed module and there's tons of stuff for that!
There is someone working on a CM rom for the 64 bit phone to so being rooted and ready when that comes out would make it easier.
Hi everyone. So I'm brand new to rooting. This is my first rooted phone. I have the Att Variant of the Galaxy S5 and I'm looking to install a custom Recovery so I can save my phone if anything happens to it. From reading I'm pretty sure my only option is Safestrap? I'm running KitKat 4.4.4 with build OA1.
I did see and find tutorials and DL links for NG3. But I don't want to install that if that is not what I need for my phone. (Obviously). If anyone can help me and point me in the right direction that would be great and HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
I also know I want to get rid of the bloatware on my phone and install an adblocker
Any suggestions on how to do thos or apps to look into ?
Also any other this you guys would first do after rooting a new phone for the first time
Please and thanks. Glad to finally be apart of this Community.
