I finally got my verizon s5 rooted. I used odin to install samsung's 4.4.4 and the stock kernel, rooted with towel root, then updated the kernel, installed safestrap, and everything works great! The only disappointment I have is that I'm unable to find any roms that work with it. I found a few claiming to work with this model -mostly cyanogenmod versions- but none of them work at all. One failed, one booted straight to recovery, and the last just booted to a black screen. Am I missing something, or are there just not any custom roms for the SM-G900V at all? Thanks in advance
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist Well its upto developers and their interest and varies factors , you have to just wait
Good Luck!

Hello, Now that JB 4.1.2 has officially droped for the US Note 10.1, the N8013. Has anyone been able to get a 4 way reboot to work. I know these are rom specific and it worked with custom roms. I need this for the stock rooted rom. I have tried other rom 4 way boot but they always end up in a boot loop and require me to reload my backup.
Thanks
p.s. I have found so much help on the XDA site.

Try Quickboot from the Play Store.
Hey all,
After looking over some of the ROM's available and other information regarding the S3, I'm a little confused on the rooting process. I've rooted my motorola droids and xoom, but this one seems different, no doubt due to 4.1.2, which my S3 is running. I understand that there are 2 sets of ROMs in here, with one set being specifically for Verizon S3 Android Development. Does it matter which I use? I'm liking hyperspeed rom, from what I see it looks good, but most of the root guides/walkthroughs I've seen are from last year. So my question is, what do I need for my unrooted Verizon S3 running stock 4.1.2 to root and install Hyperspeed or other JB Roms. One guide was very detailed but links to Odin and other files didn't work or was an old ICS guide. Need some pointers, been a while since I've done this.
Thanks in advance...
I recall using an app called "EZ Unlock" to root the phone, it was super easy. Once rooted and unlocked I think the next step was installing ClockworkMod or similar recovery. Then do a full nandroid backup. You should probably read the thread on backing up your IMEI as well, I don't know if its still an issue but you should do it just in case.
Now you can start thinking about the two sets of available ROMS.. Basically you have numerous flavors of TouchWiz and AOSP roms. The TouchWiz roms behave more like the stock os on the device and still have the Samsung camera, etc while the AOSP roms are more "Nexus" like. Personally I prefer the AOSP side of things and have settled on CM10.1.

EZ Unlock is for unlocking the boot loader not for rooting your phone. The IMEI issue normally happens when flashing AOSP ROMs but it has happened when flashing TouchWiz ROMs.

There are in a special thread for S7560/S7560M (Trend and Ace II x are the same phone with different names) here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2019146
I've put in a suggestion to make a master thread called Samsung Galaxy Ace (all models incl. Trend) with a subforum for each model since they are different and incompatible as far as firmware, kernel etc. is concerned. There's not much out there yet, the only one that did a JellyBean (unsupported and buggy) and then a KitKat (4.4) firmware stopped since he switched to another model. I've tried the Kitkat but it's simply not finished and will probably never be unless other people take over and give the Ace 2x/Trend a go since it seems they seem to become very common as they are often sold in great bundles around the world.
My thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2605722
There are root-kits that flashes CWM-recovery while unrooting in a kit.
Even if your (and mine) phone is named Samsung Galaxy Trend you'll need to get used to call it a Galaxy Ace II x. This is the name of the rootkit with CWM-recovery: Galaxy_S_Ace_2_X_Root_kit.rar
And there are some ROMs (Australia and Guatemala versions with higher firmware version numbers) that can be flashed on any Trend/Ace II x since they aren't country locked or something like that.

thanks for your reply man but that thread was posted long time ago i already tried cm11 and cm10.2 for this device but now i manged somehow to fully brick this phone i cant enter in recovery or download mode when i try to turn it on the phone just shows the samsung galaxy trend and shuts down itself...dont know what to do i lost my warranty paper and threw away the box so i dont know what to do
Hmm, if vol up & down & home & power doesn't take you into recovery or vol down+power+home doesn't take you into download I'm not sure there's much you can do without leaving it to someone with a full JTAG-rig that can read and backup your system partitions (esp. the EFS partition that store your IMEI etc.) and reflash it with a stock ROM + stock partitions.

hye i want to know how to root ly samsung galaxy trend i realy need help because i want to clean up my phone
Okay so after getting my s5 sport I simply tried to root it. Not paying attention I got the root for a regular s5 g900p. So my phone booted to where it said Samsung s5 sport then vibrated and flashed a like for about a half a second. Imagine this coming on your screen
----- except like a grayish white color. After this I downloaded the right root but had the same problem I then went to install omega because someone said it would work and I got the kernel Sean droit thing. I simply fixed this by downloading the kernel for my device but it would still not boot up. I tried multiple roms through Cwm I tried cyanogen fusion and the basic stock rom which I tried on odin and failed I tried on sd card and still was unsuccessful. I am using a friends phone to post on the forums hoping that I can get help. This will be mostly appreciated considering I just got the phone and it is the only one that I have at the moment. Thank you

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
Sorry to hear about your trouble but fortunately there is an XDA area dedicated to the Sprint Galaxy S5 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s5 . I suggest you post your question with all relevant details in the friendly Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s5/help where the experts familiar with your device will be best able to guide you.
Good Luck!
Good day
Previously I had a Galaxy S3 and I was using CyanogenMod – Loved it!
I just always preferred a phone that was clean and lean without all the bloatware.
Now I’m with the S5 and there is possibly an option available for a custom ROM for my phone?
Currently –
SAMSUNG GALAXY S5 SM-G900A AT&T
Lollipop 5.0 G900AUCU3BOC4
So far as I can tell this phone could not be rooted.
Until a few days ago I got a notice in an email that it was now available.
I was on their mailing list if something should become available.
oneclickroot
I know you can’t go backward LP 5.0 – KK 4.4.
One can only go forward, LP 5.0 - LP 5.1 or LP 5.0 – Marshmallow.
However most of what I have seen out there for my phone has been LP 5.0.
At present I’m looking at these unless someone can suggest something else.
TMS5 3.0 ROM LP5.0
Twi5ted lollipop V7 LP 5.0
Alliance V8 ROM LP5.0
My question is, can I go from LP 5.0 (Stock) to LP 5.0 (Custom)?

If you've got the locked bootloader then you're out of luck rooting and flashing TWRP/Cyanogenmod.

Actually the phone is rooted now. Right after I posted this I used Kingroot king481.apk and Titanium Backup is installed and Root Check confirmed its now rooted. Although I have not tried the Bootloader...... With my luck that is another issue..... I wonder if I should try the first step with the Bootloader and see if SAFESTRAP or TWRP can install?

Safestrap is no longer supported and with locked bootloader you're not gonna get TWRP to work.

HI all, I'm new here and this Is my first post (question), Is There any solution to this issue (sm-g900a not taking custom recovery)?, I need (really want) to install android pie and magisk on my att g9005a,and most of the posts (including this one) are several years old.
Really appreciate an an answer, even if its still, "sorry, still out of luck",
Also, is this a good place for this, or should i start a new thread?
Thanks.

Your device is an AT&T variant, your device has a locked bootloader, you can't install custom recovery with a locked bootloader. The bootloader on your device can not be unlocked, you will never be able to install custom recovery on your device. If you want custom recovery you will have to get another device because you will never be able to use custom recovery on the device that you already have.
