Has anyone used this towelroot to root their S5? I plan on using Titanium Backup to deep freeze some bloatware apps and if phone works ok, eventually remove the bloated junk. https://towelroot.com/

So I've rooted my Samsung Galaxy S4 Active with towel root and i tried running "Gamecih" and "Gamekiller" but they both say "Root Access needed". They're both apps that help you cheat in games and I've used them before with my old rooted android. Root checker gives me a ok and apps like "link2sd" work fine. Was wondering if my root could be limited somehow.

Did you install SuperSU?
I got the s5 Active and recently rooted and flashed safestrap. I was wondering what the best way to remove the bloat from the stock rom was? Thanks in advance.

Depends on what you want to do. You can install a ROM that is bloatware free, freeze apps with Titanium Backup, or you can manually uninstall them.
For the first option you would just have to search for a bloat free ROM such as the one I'm running: Extreme Debloat.
For the second option, you would root your phone, install Titanium Backup, and just go down the list freezing one application at a time until you're satisfied. (I only specifically froze the AT&T apps in my app drawer, nothing outside of that).
For the last option, there are a few applications that you just run and they uninstall a "list" of bloatware. I don't remember where I saw it, but the application was made by someone on XDA.
I'd just use TiBu and remove what you want instead of a ROM that someone else decided what stays and goes as a lot of stuff is dependent on other stuff
Thanks for the help guys.
I have had my phone rooted for a while (Galaxy S5), but after the 4.4.2 update, i lost root access, like supersu tells me that i dont have root access. Other apps like the isis wallet are telling me that i have root and cannot get into it. I have tried factoring reseting and then i used the backup from the phone itself. i would rather not have root at all than be resticted without the root. Can anyone help me unroot my phone officially so i can use isis wallet or other apps.

There is also an Xposed module to hide root from designated apps, which lets you have your cake and eat it AND tell Samsung you didn't
I am contemplating giving up my root to update to 5.1.1. But I need some advice, on what apps I can use to backup and restore all my apps with app data without root. Also, what apps can I use to remove bloatware without root? These are my two main reasons for root. Thanks

There is no app that will remove bloatware without root. As far as backups go, your best bet would be helium backup,

I think your only option would be to go into application manager and just disable the things you don't want to use. However, there is a finite list of apps you can disable.
Hey all my version is the G920AUCU3BOJ7...I've tried PingPong root and it says my device can't be rooted yet. Is there anything that can help me root my device. My recent tab is stuck and it causes my phone to constantly switch between apps. I went through all the proper channels AT&T and Samsung and they won't help me. I also factory reset my device uninstalled all apps ever put on it and nothing works. I read you can disable the recent tab, but to do that I need root acess to the device. Any help would me much apprechiated.
Thanks,
Ryan
