The Roms for Galaxy S5 wont work on your edition of phone, not even sure there is a restore file for your phone on sammobile, i dont think there is yet...sammobile.com is the site to get Odin file, see if they have it. Thats the first question u have to answer, dont wanna bork your phone with root and not have a way to get back to stock.

I used Chainfire's auto root for the Sport yesterday and it worked perfectly. However, I tried flashing philz recovery for the s5 after rooting and all I get is a bootloop when trying to boot into recovery. I've done this multiple times on different devices without any problems so I'm assuming the regular s5 recovery is not compatible with the Sport. Does the auto root already include its own recovery or is there one that is compatible with the s5 sport? Or is there something I'm missing here?

Not sure if there is a custom recovery for your phone yet, just flash Chainfires CF-autoroot again, it won't harm anything, his root method flashes root with custom recovery, then in same instance flashes stock recovery back onto it. This will at least get u out of bootloop and not change anything u have done to phone. Go to sammobile.com and get the firmware for your phone. That will be pretty much your recovery until one is made for your phone, which will happen in due time.

I was able to get out of the bootloop. The phone works fine and is rooted. The only problem I was having was trying to get the recovery to work properly. So far I've only tried philz. Maybe TWRP would produce different results? I will try flashing later today and report back. Thanks for the response

I tried flashing TWRP today and I'm getting the same result. It gets stuck in a bootloop when trying to boot into recovery. It shows the "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" message and then restarts and does the same thing. The only way to get out of it is to pull the battery then boot into download mode and flash the recovery again and let it reboot normally. After that the phone goes back to normal with root permission but without a working recovery.
So the Sprint Galaxy S5 recovery image is no good for the Galaxy S5 Sport? There seems to be two conflicting stories. :\

Good to see ya interested in this phone too, UPdownLoAD! I hope all went well with the Torque dev when I had to pop off of the grid right after rooting that (this one is A LOT easier...trust me).
I just bought this phone earlier this week and hadn't looked into its rootability. I figured that, since it is a Samsung phone on Sprint, it would have an unlocked bootloader (and it does). There are, however, zero support tools for these. This is not TowelRoot eligible due to the newer patched kernel and is not on the CF-Auto-Root list yet.
I took a little time during the LLWS today to get this thing rooted and confirmed before I go out of town on business for a week and it turned out just fine.
Solution: Simply employing the use of a custom recovery and using the "fix su binaries" and "prevent stock recovery flashing" options upon exiting after entering the recovery.
Ok, yes, there is no official release of CWM, TWRP or Philz for this device yet. I have a custom recovery that is in Chinese that I, personally, know how to decipher, but would not release it here*. Hopefully, there is an official recovery on the way or someone properly builds one in English. CWM used to have an automated recovery builder tool server-side, but I think it has been offline since March of this year. Again, I am about to head out on business soon and don't have a lot of time until on my flights to dig more into this, but wanted to give the certain thumbs up to anyone considering this phone but didn't know if it would have root.:good::good::good:
In summary: YES, the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 5 Sport (SM-G860P) on the latest OTA build (NG3) is rootable just fine.
*Please do not ask me for the recovery that I have...Google is your friend (it's only in a single public location as of right now), but I did not want to be responsible for someone grabbing it and guessing what characters mean and borking their phone.
I need help.

Most likely you'd need the Stock The file to Odin back to stock. But I'm not even sure those are available. Least I haven't seen anything mentioned about em.
Not sure what root method you tried, but there's been alot of talk going around for a week or so, that neither cf root, or towelroot methods don't work.
Next time (to be totally safe) it may be best to wait for a stock tar file to be available, before Taking a chance like this. Just a thought. Head to the SamMobile website and look up your devise to see if they got the Stock tar up. Still a pretty new device, so not sure if they'll be around yet. That sux tho.
Good luck!

The NG2 and NG3 tars are out. Get NG3 and prepare to wipe the entire device if you Odin the whole tar. It would be more helpful to know what you actually did (the method) versus saying "I tried to root". Since there is no automated root specific to this device yet and TowelRoot would not cause a bootloop, you likely ran something you certainly should not have (if it wasn't made for this phone model, why would you do that?) You've likely hosed up the phone/system to the point where you have to run the full tar (versus just the boot/kernel or the modem to "fix" with your user & system data in tact).
Grab the NG3 tar from sammobile or samsung-firmwares and Odin back to stock.
FYI TO ALL: everything is running smoothly after running my Titanium Backup restore from my old GS5 and pushing in Xposed modules. Also have successfully applied the hotspot tweak to my telephony.db and SD card write access. Hopefully I get some time during flights with Wi-Fi to pump out a recovery worth wide-releasing sometime this week if no one else chimes in.

I have rooted and customized every android phone I have gotten within a day of purchase, so it became habit and ritual. Now I sit here waiting patiently.

No, it is not. My friend, you are doing everything in your power to hardbrick your S3. There is only root access via Towelroot which you've accomplished and Safestrap which will only let you use another 4.4.2 VRUDNE1 based rom. I'm surprised you haven't hard bricked it yet upon reboot.
Any info you need is here in our 4.3/4.4.2 OTA guide

You did not unlock the bootloader on your device. Can't be done on an S3 running 4.4. That unlock symbol on boot has nothing to do with the bootloader.

Are you using the "Recovery Locked/NE1" version of Safestrap from the link I posted?
I'm sure the bootloader can still be unlocked. I mean it's Android 4.4! We're on 8 right now. I personally believe that because it took so long to unlock it the first time, once that hole was closed the same people did not want to put that much time in again when times have changed so much in 4-5 years.
I wish I just had more experience actually writing code utilizing exploits in a useful manner, instead of being able to put 2 & 2 together for a flowchart.

My one and only Windows PC just died and I'm in the middle of fixing it. The rest all use Linux. Otherwise I so would lol. I shall try it hopefully this week if not next.
If someone beats me to it, do post your results
It is a successful root, however I am noticing that my phone is now running pretty slow. But that might be due to the fact I just reset it to out of box default and it's just now loading stuff.
It is a systemless root however. I am certainly not a dev, and do mods simply for fun / to make my devices work the way i want them to... so can someone maybe elaborate on whether or not i should find a way to make the su binary exist under /system or if i should leave it be?
currently, busy box installed just fine. Will be trying xPosed next. But so far it seems to function and no glitches.
Xposed flashed just fine, did not cause any issues (so far) with private mode or S health. All works very well ^.^
EDIT: Flashing Xposed broke private mode. See fix here:

OK, thanks. Looks like we aren't in the same situation though. I can't get into, or flash TWRP.

Hope u fixed ur problem, I'm still on Note 4, was waiting for u to fix the new firmware for us last month, and now we just got another one, so shocked Samsung is actually taking care of the Note 4 N910T,
My rom boots up, but can't see sim card, external storage, wifi doesn't connect and so forth, I guess they did something with the new MM that @dsixda kitchen doesn't work correctly somewhere anymore,
need to learn Ubuntu, not easy with no help,,, I made an external drive with 16.04 but need to java development and figure the rest out, not easy with 2 kids.. and wifey..
and u r also in FL, by the way thanks for the updater script for the past v5.1.1 roms we had...
Samsung keeps raising prices on these phones, ridiculous no reason the new Note 7 will be $849 cause they r only making egde style phones.
I'm glad they pushed me to my limits, first it was HTC, I had all the HTC phone till M7, for when they had the first tmobile dash windows phone.. haha..
don't know whats next, maybe crapple... no rush since the note 4 is still rocking good,
but the Note 7, water resistence is awesome is the only kool thing I guess.
Seems like I'm having the same problem frp lock and drk has anyone found a solution yet. I can't seem to find any way to fix this yet. Appreciate any help in advance
I could help with this issue, just let me know if you need my assistant I would have to remotely do this to accomplish this thanks..
Hi
I have a massive problem with my S7.
I wanted to install TWRP on my phone so I could take a backup of my MM setup before upgrading to Nougat.
Once I installed TWRP I found that due to encryption on the device I couldnt take a backup. I then tried to reboot my phone but now it gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S7 logo and just boot loops.
Can anyone help or suggest how to get my phone working again?
Cheers

I had the exact same problem. In your case I just booted my device into "Download Mode" and flashed the stock Nougat from the Sammobile page using Odin (download the appropriate version for your device) [in Download Mode it should say what version of Galaxy S7 you have, for example G930-5F/FD and so on] then you are good to go.
P.S. Don't worry, that is just a softbrick it's nothing to really worry about.
EDIT: If you want an simpler process, try to flash the stock rom using Smart Switch on your computer. Both methods worked for me
