That going to work? i got android 6.0.1
Says that it will work. it will trip Knox and you can always reflash the old ROM if anything goes wrong. *just make sure your phone is Qualcomm Snapdragon variant.
I also have Samsung s5 mini g800h dual sim 6.0.1 , how to install TWRP and Root?
and to find what cpu had my phone?

Hello ,
i bought samsung galaxy s5 at&t model a few days ago and i want to root it and flash new cm13 , boot i cant find anywhere how it can be rooted. its on 5.1.1 firmware. i was thinking , is it possible to downgrade kernel with odin and then root with towelroot ? i am just afraid of bricking my phone.
No, it's not possible to root this phone on Kitkat.
I got a Samsung S6 Edge (Verizon SM-G925V) today and heard I should upgrade to 7.0 (Nougat) firmware and hope it gets rooted soon. Is the baseband version I have root-able? It's G925VVRS4DQD1
To my understanding, the tool on autoroot.chainfire.eu WOULD work, but because the bootloader is locked down, it will brick the device instead? Is that true? Is there any hope that 7.0 will be rooted soon for my device? Any input on this would be helpful, thanks.

I tried it it said something about recovery not sure what but in Odin on the phone screen it said recovery fail
So do i. However, it won't brick your phone. One time i tried to upgrade to 7.0 or downgrade to 6.0, first boot i saw a pic of a lock is unlocked when i first boot. Next time i boot, it disapppears. Any idea?
I think this phone is unrootable for now since Verizon is like "you can't make it because i don't wanna my phone naked, haha"
Same problem here. recovery fail. How can I root my G925V Nougat?
Hi,
I recently got a brand new s6 G920A AT&T version from an authorized reseller. To my surprise the firmware on it is very old - 5.0.2 with sw version G920AUCU1AOCE
I have heard that this firmware was a pre-release or developer version of s6 and has unlocked bootloader. Is that true?
How do I find if the bootloader is locked or unlocked in my samsung s6 or for that matter in *any Samsung* phone? Is it possible to check using Odin or some other tool on whether the bootloader is unlocked?
Thanks!

Start by asking in the proper place. This is the g920a forum.
I think that is to check if it is rooted. My question was how to check if bootloader is unlocked. Can somebody help? Thanks!

Try with this KingRoot, maybe it can root your S5.
So I did some research if there was any way to root Samsung Galaxy s5 (5.1.1) (SM-G900A). People were saying you can't downgrade because of a locked bootloader or something. But I found one firmware that was meant for tests that brings you back to 4.4+(Can't remember exactly, but it was 4.4). Is there a way to go to this tested firmware and go back to a firmware that could be rooted?
