Hey guys,
My name's Kamil, I'm new to this forum (1st post).
I have a brand new Galaxy S5 Active (just got it last week) and I was planning to ROOT it.
I've been reading about rooting here and on Google and I still have no idea how to do it.
I've tried that towelroot but it tells me my phones not supported.
I have that SM G870A ANDROID 5.0. Can someone maybe pm me or walk me step by step?
BTW I'm not sure if I posted it on the right forum
Anybody?

Hmm ... I found a rooting thread ([Tutorial] Rooting the Sprint GalaxyS3 the Easy Way), but it is closed as it seems that this method no longer works.
There a user ("Thecrazyone1") of the same device reported taht he could successfully root. Maybe you can ask (PM) him, how he got it rooted.
Here is the general rooting link for the Sprint S3: How to root the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III ... which seems to be very similar to your device.
You can also check the Sprint Galaxy S3 FAQ updated 5/27/2013, there is a linbk to a video guide for rooting.
Here is a thread about your device: S3 straight talk verison rooting/general questions..
And here is another one: [Q] How To Root the Straight Talk SCH-S968C Samsung Galaxy S III.
Maybe you can get better answers there.
Good luck !
Thread closed and thank you.
Happy new year !

Hello awesome people of the rooting community, I've been searching like crazy(with no luck) to find a way to get my beautiful note 3 back to root access ever since i had to buy a new one when my old one fell apart.
i figured i turn to these ever so helpful forums, to be specific its a Sprint Galaxy Note 3 running 4.4.4 NK4. The reason that's underlined is because i have yet to find a way to root the November NK4 update on the forums, YouTube, cellphone stores i know of....etc..
is it even possible? if someone can help me restore my note 3 back to its former glory it would be much appreciated cause I'm out of options and made an account just to post to these forums.
i have had some experince rooting phones(using odin, and cf auto root) but this is a new ballpark for me.:crying:
Hi, I've been searching the whole the web for rooting a at&t samsung galaxy s5 android version 5.0 for a week now. I haven't found a single way. All methods for rooting any other model works. But none have succeeded with the at&t model. I heard you can downgrade it if you have 5.0 but it can brick your phone. I wanted to try it but I didn't want to take the risk. If anyone knows a way to root the at&t samsung galaxy s5 please help me and others tying to find the answers. Thank You.

Hello comunity, I'm new at this forums. Well, my question is this: If I back to stock FW in my Galaxy S6 0F1 (can't root) with odin, then I can do root in it? I don't really don't know a lot, so any help would be good for me. Thanks!
Unfortunately you can't roll back from of1 that's the issue. You are stuck with it for the time being till another root method is available.
