So far I have tried Kingoroot through USB, at 99% it displayed a warning message saying it would flash recovery through Odin and that it could potentially brick my device, so I cancelled the process.
Is there any *safe* way of rooting this specific device? I could not find any custom ROMs for it (but I would rather like rooting and staying with the stock ROM, anyways)
I have also tried other auto rooting apps that failed to root my device because the exploits included don't support my model.
Thanks

after towel was released at&t released a update which fixed the patch that was used to root in towelroot. I have heard that there are alternative rooting methods which I have tried that involve Odin. For some reason though when I try to use Odin it always told me fail and after a certain amount of tries in bricked my phone which is now in a boot loop. can someone help get me out of that bootloop?
I also have another question. Can't you just flash a older version of android to your Galaxy s5 and then use towelroot to root it?
(I am very new to this rooting experience and I would appreciate step by step guide):laugh:
Than you
You probably had "fail" message because you hadn't disabled the option "Reactivation Lock" in Security settings before using Odin.
To fix your phone, just boot in Download Mode, then flash a working firmware for your S5. Do you how to do that ? Can help you if needed
I also have another question. Can't you just flash a older version of android to your Galaxy s5 and then use towelroot to root it?
Yes you can, but prefer using newer version for you'll have better performance and security updates.
I have been trying for about a month to root and atleast boot this SM-G920V to a rom I dont even care if it's rooted but anytime i try to follow a youtube video exactly it still ends up failing i have used adb to boot to bootloader then turned off phone booted into download mode to bypass the secure download but it still says SECURE CHECK FAIL : (RECOVERY) I don't quite understand why Verizon just has to be so difficult but this may be a dumb question is there anyway to actually switch the model of this phone without just changing that file that displays it to thus switch it to a root compatible version or will changing that actually make the phone compatible I don't know if anyone has any tips as to booting this verizon galaxy s6 nougat 7 to a custom rom or even rooting though I was told that the verizon models are incompatible for unlocking bootloader but I know theres ways of booting to roms without unlocking bootloader though you need root is there anyone that doesnt need root or unlocking bootloader I have also tryed the old ping pong method and that still failed. please let me know if you have any knowledge of any of this thank you in advance
No way for custom rom.
Flash the latest official, install Package Disabler app and get rid of the bloatware.
Then enjoy the phone.
So I've tried pretty much everything I've found at this point and none has succeeded. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 SM920V (G920VVRS4DQD1).
Odin just liked to tell me "Security check failed : Recovery"
King Root and Kingo Root (PC and APK) both failed
And the few other ways I've tried failed at various parts of the rooting process, I'm honestly just not sure my phone is even rootable at all anymore.
But if you even think you have a way I might be able to root my phone, any help would be much appreciated.
If you need any extra info about my phone just ask and I'll do my best to tell you whatever you need.
What I have:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930W8 device. It has been rooted and unrooted previously, as well as flashed with official samsung stock ROM. I also have just performed a factory reset from recovery mode recently.
What I am trying to do:
I am trying to root it properly and flash LineageOS on it. I am aware as to how to do this based on the guides here, but I run into a problem early on...
Problem:
I cannot seem to enable OEM unlock. It automatically disables right after I try to enable it.
Other potential problem:
When I try reboot to bootloader via adb command ".\adb reboot bootloader", it just restarts my device normally
Question:
If I can connect my device to Odin and attempt to flash LineageOS do I risk bricking my device given it's current circumstance? Or is this all I can try now?
I'll provide any additional information/images if needed. I just feel like I am repeating the same troubleshooting over and over again without any progress.
Thanks
Just ended up doing it assuming that it was unlocked (felt quite risky wiping everything and installing old zips)... Everything seems relatively functional and rooted. I'm a little uncertain whether or not I should update magisk as I don't feel like creating a new problem on it for myself just yet.
Is this something that happens when you root a Samsung phone or my device has been compromised by shady software?
It is my first time rooting an smartphone and it seems that bank apps won't allow rooted phones. I am thinking about flashing an official rom to fix these issues.
By the way, I used this guide to successfully root my device:

If you are on the stock rom then yes, it will show security log agent notif.
And you wont be able to use banking apps on rooted phones on any rom official or unofficial.
You can try using magisk hide but i've never tried it so not sure if it will work.
