AFAIK cf auto root should still work, check one of the lollipop threads in the s5 sprint general section for the link. FWIW you can always root it if the bootloader allows you to flash unsigned packages, so unless Sprint decides to lock us out we will always have root.

I updated last night, I rooted mine by using Odin to flash TWRP, then used TWRP to flash a superuser zip. Took about 5 minutes. As stated above, cf auto root should work as well.

what's AFAIK, and FWIW?

As Far As I Know, For What It's Worth

Question for Samsung S5 SM-G900p
Hi guys,
I have a Samsung S5 with Sprint carrier (with Kitkat rooted).
Since Sprint is CDMA, I intend to install Lollipop from another carrier (Cellular one specifically for SM-g900P) available on sammobile.
My questions is if this will brick my phone and if not, will LTE/4G work?
Many thanks!

Cellular One will use different network settings. I can't say for certain, but strongly believe it won't work.

You could use Odin to install Lollipop from here. That should bring you to stock, beware though, you can't undo having tripped Knox (but I don't think most people care about that anymore)

I could just do it from the Samsung website, as well, right?

You could, but Odin is easier and faster

[Q] [How To] root Galaxy S4 SGH-i337 (5.0.1)

I've been desperately looking for a convenient root method for my Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-i337 version 5.0.1 but I've been unsuccessful. Every post I look for either involves a method with an older Android version or other model number. It's pretty frustating, It's my third day of intensive research and nothing has come up! The nearest post I found was pretty much the same version and model but the model had an "M" in the end of the model name (SGH-i337M) but is not possible due to that minor detail. Please Help!:crying:

Kingroot?

You may have to unlock the bootloader before trying to root. For this model bootloader may be locked or unlocked depending upon the operator. Bootloader unlock process may wipe out your data so back up first.

Need a root for s6, can't find support anywhere. Pingpong will not work.

baseband version g920vvru4b0k7 or build number lmy47x. I cannot find how to root this phone anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is no root for this phone....

Suh dude, your straight outta luck just like the rest of us. No matter how much you want it....there won't be root for this device because of the locked bootloader and virtually no development on the verizon side anyways.

Just rooted sm-g920p with c-f auto root. Pf4 is the version im on

No it wont, you have to pay to get it unlocked either by software or code.
Doesn't matter what firmware you use

OK thanks, now first find somewhere reasonable, last quote I got was £30!!!! Not paying that
