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?

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.

Any news? Did you fix it? Cause I have same problem with my att g2. I unlocked it and took to Europe.

How did u do it? i checked the thread which says get the new sim card from att. but in my country we don;t have att...what should i do
I had the same issue
I had my D800 unlocked on the AIO network (an AT&T subsidiary) and it would not connect to the AT&T download servers. I tried removing the sim card and using WiFi only with no success. I had to flash KitKat manually using the LG tool found on Bigfau's post here:

Good luck, and you will loose everything using this method.

I'm afraid you will have to root and install a custom recovery and ROM in order to get kitkat on the d800 with a non-AT&T service provider. There is plenty of info out there on how to do this but for the d800, you must downgrade your firmware to d80010d in order to root and install a custom recovery. The LG Flash Tool is what you'll need to downgrade. It's really easy to use. I aslo recommend using ioroot25 (sorry no links. I'm on mobile) to root your device and it also has all of your adb interface tools that will be used for installing your custom recovery. Again, sorry for not posting links but it should be fairly easy to find now that you know what to look for.

Almost forgot. Get into you file explorer (I use ES File Explorer) and find your service provider data and back it up. It will be a hidden file so you'll need to enable that option. Its location will be /sdcard/.data/.data -- these are your service settings so that if your service provider settings are lost in this process, you can easily restore it once it has been unlocked again. All you would do is replace the file and reboot. Again, plenty of info out there on this. Hope the vague info doesn't put you off of trying this. I'll try and get some links in here later today when I am able.

BTW, it looks like your BootLoader is locked and that's why you can't flash anything CUSTOM......

[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
