[Q] rooting samsung galaxy s5 plus (g901f)

Hello everyone,
I'm dutch, so my english may not be that good, but I try.
I have decided to root my samsung galaxy s5 plus, but I have very little to no skills about rooting. I do know the good and bad things about rooting, but I am not sure if I found the right "root".
The main problem is the buildnumber. My full buildnumber is KTU84P.G901FXXU1ANK5 but I have seen a root with almost the same buildnumber, but than it ends with "ANH6" instead of "ANK5".
My question is: Can you use another buildnumber or will it brick my Phone if the buildnumber is different?
Just in case, I add a view more details of my Phone:
- Modelnumber: SM-G901F
- Andoid version: 4.4.4
- Baseband version: G901FXXU1ANH6
I did search for this question, but I have only seen a question about a installing ROM's, but I only need/want root permission, without costum ROM's (for now). So I hope someone can aswer my question.
Thanks in advance.

You can test this one:
T239MUBU0AOG1_Pre_Rooted_System_v4.4.4.zip - 976.04 MB

Can anyone confirm that this works?
T239MUBU0AOG1_Pre_Rooted_System_v4.4.4.zip - 976.04 MB
Nevermind i see the M at the end of T239.

Can't change the bootloader, but can flash ROMs ported like that G900M > G900F if the devices are compatible, but the ROM needs to be modded first, can't flash a stock G900M to a G900F for example

Since the thread looks a little abandoned:
If you stumbled here looking for root on S5 6.0.1, try this, helped me:

Need help with rooting I9500XXUHOG2

Hey there guys....I have a real annoying problem....I cannot find the right rooting file..... my device baseband is I9500XXUHOG2
AND IT'S A REAL PAIN IN THE NECK TO FIND IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT THERE!!!!!
please can anyone help...I tried a lot of i9500 files but with no use...and I found myself unable to unroot and not having the root permission. ..so I endup recovering it with Samsung program (I don't remember the program's name but it's not kies)
Please I need help ASAP!
and another problem....after a false rooting I endup recovering the original stock rim via Samsung and it takes 6 FREAKING HOURS TO FINISH!
Is there a faster way ...like backing up stock rom (my rom of course because it's not avalable) because it's an EGYPTIAN.

Hey there,
Have you tried CF-Auto-Root?
To backup your entire rom you will need a custom recovery. I recommend TWRP.
And you should be able to find pretty much any stock roms on sammobile.com.
Good luck.

Thanks for replying fast...but there is a problem
I didn't find the one I need... that might cause a problem ,
Scince I am still a newbie when it comes to these stuff
I don't risk too much because I don't have a backup plan
Like the software on Sammobile.Com is not the one
I have... I heard about the 1 click root like king or lingo root
A friend of mine tried it but it's Chinese so it's not
Something you should trust... but it's the ease way right?
Perhaps too easy to be secured.
Now I am start to wish that I bought a i9505 ... at lease it's more famous and have more support than my phone.

CF-Auto-Root is your best option. There is no real 1-click root method.

Need Guidance...

Hey guys,
I'm going to install a custom ROM today to see if that maybe fixes my SensorHub not working. I just need guidance on the correct procedure. I have a SM-N900 model (N900XXUEBOL2) running Lollipop 5.0. Do I first need to root, or can I install a custom ROM straight from the stock recovery? It seems like there aren't may ROMS available for the SM-900 model, but I've found one that seems to have good battery life and performance: TR-ROM. This is the procedure I will follow:
1) Root phone with CF-Auto-Root-ha3g-ha3gxx-smn900.zip
2) Use ODIN to flash n900-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.0-kk_L5.0(0812).tar
3) Flash TR-ROM from CWM: TR-ROM XDA
Is this all correct? I just want to make sure that I don't brick my phone!
Also, how can I revert back to stock if I need to?
Thanks so much!!!

OK. ..so are the 3 steps I mentioned above correct?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/guide-root-note-3-sm-n900-5-0-install-t3069670

I'm trying to follow that guide, but the build number of N900 on the CF-Root site says:
LRX21V.N900XXUEBOA6
Whereas mine is:
N900XXUEBOL2
Will is still work? Also, it says a locked bootloader will probably brick your device. How do I check if mine is locked?
I've rooted and installed custom roms on many devices before - I'm not sure why rooting and installing custom rom on the Note 3 is so daunting...

Google?

I wouldn't be asking here if I hadn't already Google'd extensively.

But of course... The phone is brand new, so there's no info yet available. I understand...
Yes, do as you wrote in the first post. Should be ok, as those are the latest files.

I'm finding that there is actually TOO much information (too many variables). That's why I'm asking specifically about my version, as I can't seem to get my head around it - and rather than brick my phone, I'm merely seeking a bit of guidance from someone more experienced than me. In the past, when I was rooting previous phones, I received a lot of useful information and help from XDA - but it seems like now all I'm getting are sarcastic remarks and general unfriendliness. Why is that?

You have N900 its an exynos model not the qualcom .Not something that has a big following on here .
The links in your post point to zips , whats the point of me downloading a zip ??
CF autoroot you need to read the instructions regarding builds .
Locked boot loader no idea for that model .
CWM yes flash via Odin if its the correct one for your model .
Flash rom yes the rom will give you the method .
