Root MetroPcs Galaxy s5 on lollipop 5.1.1 - General Questions and Answers

Hello everyone,
First off, I apologize if I made a duplicate thread and if this topic is covered elsewhere could anyone pass on a link? Thank you.
I was wondering if there is a method for rooting the MetroPcs Galaxy s5 sm-g900t1 running lollipop 5.1.1 yet? I recently updated from Kitkat and lost root when I flashed the update. I tried Chainfire's cf-auto root method to no avail. Just wondering if anybody has developed or released a root method yet, and if not, is one in the works? Thanks in advance for any help.

[Completed] *HELP* Rooting Samsung Galaxy S5 AT&T 5.0 G900A

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.

I'm looking for the same thing... or any solution to help using Titanium Backup or something similar.
I've just bought a s6 (coming from a Note 2) and all my apps are saved with Titanium backup
From my experience, DON'T root your 5.1.1. If it was 5.0.2, you could do it easily with CF-autoroot. There are some unofficial root method and a root called "pingpong" root. Try search for that. I rooted my 5.1.1 and it have been bricked for almost a week now. It can't be fixed.

Need help rooting! Thanks. [Galaxy S6 g920f]

I want to root my samsung galaxy s6 non-edge - g920f.
The problem is, I found a video where you download the twrp from google drive, I couldn't download that file since too many users had already downloaded it.
I then searched for a one-click root, which failed since the ones I found don't support 6.0.1 or are only for the edge.
Would someone mind helping me? Thanks soo much in advance everyone.
this might help
I just recently rooted my gs6 running 6.0.1 by cf-autoroot. Just type cf-autoroot android 6.0.1 and it should pop up . if it doesnt then hit me up i will send you the download link. its quite easy so you shouldnt have any problems.
Here is the TWRP;

Hello guys, i want to root too, but for rooting with CF is it required to have a unlocked bootloader? And how to unlock my bootloader because I'll be flashing some custom ROMs?

Greetings and welcome to assist. None of the apps you mentioned will work on samsung devices, you have to use odin to either flash auto root or twrp and then su zip. Unfortunately though you have the verizon version which has a locked bootloader so root is not possible
