J700t bootloader is unlocked By default but you need to turn on oem unlock before trying to flash any file
Thank you so much, I personally have had allot of confusion about the whole thing, thank you for shedding some light into my situation as I personally like metro pcs
T1 dose not differ ?

Whats up guys Im new to the forums Im not sure if this is the right spot for this topic but iv just only recently figured out about rooting. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 from Verizon, could any specify me to a page or something where I can find out how to root this phone or to files that I need to root this phone. What are the perks of rooting I already know some, plus will this void my warranty, and is it true that if u unroot your phone before sending it in to your carrier for whatever reason they wont find out you rooted your phone? Thanks for the help to whoever replies.

You can find everything if you make a little search.
See here:
S5 development
And I find a rom, see it's easy.

And for root, root it like other S5 devices.

I bought a Samsung S5 Active from a friend of a friend. It is in great shape works well on "wifi".... ended up finding out that the phone was never unlocked by trying to get it up and goin on my current network. It is an AT&T phone and they refused to give me the unlock code because the phone was never paid off apparently. What are my options at this point to unlock the phone without having to root?

No way, you can't unlock it without root as well, just like a regular AT&T S5. I've unlocked quite a few S5 Active using www.unlockunit.com. The code is around $30, as far as I remember, if you're ok with a paid method.

very wrong. it used to be like that, but not anymore
idoneapps.com has unlock methods without root. $35 and is works flawlessly. go to their site and check it out. Ive used it on 2 regular S5s, 0 issues

That's the method I might take if all else fails. I'm a newby at all this stuff but understand it can get complicated when it comes to rooting. Found out by bricking a cheap LG I practiced on. I'm very cautious about doing the same to this Samsung S5....or should I said SCARED! It actually would be exciting to root this phone and do it that way but...yeah, I dont trust myself enough yet!

Hello guys, i'll recieve Verizon G5 tomorrow. Soo...I need to know if there is any working root method for us? Even temprorary one?
What about TWRP and so on, or are we locked in everything? :/
What about Unlocking bootloader for the Verizon variant?
I searched thru topics in here but didn't really find an answer.
If there is an AIO topic already about root-bootloader unlocking-etc, i'd like to know ))
Thanks in advance :3

Hey guys, I'm new to rooting. The wondershare Root tool didn't work for me. I have a feeling it doesn't work for my model, and looked through the forums here but am very overwhelmed of all the threads.
Can someone help me determine if my phone is rootable? And if so, how to implement it?
It's originally from ATT, but now with Flash Wireless for Tmobile.

Hi all! So I'm pretty familiar with rooting my Galaxy S4 but have recently purchased and upgraded to a Galaxy S7. It's an SM-G930U model and currently set up with my MetroPCS account. I've had some issues finding ROMS that I can use with Odin to root but haven't had much luck. I was able to find stock roms in case something goes awry but no luck with customs. Can someone help me out with a link? Thanks!

There are no custom roms since the bootloader is locked so the rooting process is different from what you are used to, so follow this guide:
