I haven't used my S4 in a while since i got my S6 Edge i was wondering is there a root for the S4 5.0 I've been looking everywhere and no luck yet
I'm seconding this question.
In addition I'm on 4.3 and my system can't even manually pick up on the update. What's up with that?
Third that...
I just got my S4 L720 replacement, came pre-loaded with 5.01 and I can't find a way to root it, cant do anything with it really...
Haaaaallp!
Just use Odin to flash TWRP, then in TWRP flash Chainfire's SuperSU.
It's the same as KitKat, what mattzeller said or Odin CF-AUTO-ROOT by Chainfire

Ok I'm not an expert at all and I don't want to follow the wrong guide and mess everything up. I googled some of the terms and I don't feel confident enough in what I found.
How exactly do I get to KitKat (be it the stock rom or the one really close to it) and root it?

you might have the new version, the L720T. root method could be different?

I have that jump program and feel like getting the GS5. I got this GS4 about 6 or so months ago and if I remember correctly (which I don't) I used odin to root it.. Had it rooted for a couple months then decided to put a rom on which was Wicked 5.0 or something. About 2 months ago I put wicked 9.1 on.
I'm pretty sure I saved a recovery before even putting the first wicked rom on, but WTF is up with the way it saves the files, maybe someone can help with this image, but what is the oldest date of these recoveries ?

If I was to go back to just the stock recovery but still rooted, would a t-mobile rep know this? and if they did would it be a problem?
If I did get back to the stock recovery, could I unroot it? I remember buying a triangle app or something ,that reset the flash counter on this phone? does that ring any bells? lol
Thanks
Look at the system information on/in the phone. What does it say?
You can simply just Odin the NAE .tar if you're going to be bringing it back to Sprint. That'll wipe everything to stock.
DAMN IT!!!!!! Wrong thread! my bad
nvm, i found what i needed, lol
I am running 4.4.2 on SPHL-720 (Samsung galaxy S4 (sprint) and just received a notice that a system update has been downloaded. I have not installed it yet. Could this be the 4.4.3 update?
I think it's NG2 modem update
I'm running sacs older version 4.4.2 version 2 I think with the nae modem. Has anyone tried the update? Will this break root? What's the benefits? I've searched and found nothing.

Look like I lost root. I need to re root my phone. If anyone has idea let me know
I found the downloaded zip on my phone and it is the NGA update. However it will not install on my rooted NAE phone. The recovery mode install fails.
A) You cannot accept an OTA while rooted. It will not install unless your device is bone stock.
B) Please learn to use the search function. This update has been out for over 2 weeks and there are 4 threads on it that will answer any questions you may have about it.
Can you root, or have you folks found out how to root the Samsung Galaxy S5 for straight talk?

Yes. You can.
Download twrp klte version, odin, samsung drivers, and superuser.zip.
Put superuser.zip on internal sd.
Open odin
Connect phone
Put twrp file in pda slot
Hit start
Be ready to hold vol up and home key as phone reboots. (Sometimes twrp wont stick, so you do this to get it to stick).
Flash superuser.zip
Reboot. Tada. Rooted.
Be advised, I do not know what roms work with this phone.
I do not post files, but you can find all you need here on xda. Theres an Odin/twrp package on here i think, and superuser.zip is everywhere. So are the samsung drivers you need.
Just did this to my nieces Straight Talk phone and my sprint S5.
Twrp 3.0.2-1 fixed flashing issues i had on 3.0.2-2 btw.
I've been searching for a way to root my SGH i337 phone on Android 5.0.1.
I found threads that say to "Downgrade" or "Flash NB1". Then i went searching on how to do either of those things and all i get is downloads to dead links.
Nothing straight-forward that is actually going to help me root my phone. I haven't been able to find a simple guide on doing this could someone point me in the right direction? I'm ****ing frustrated.
I found this in the upgrade to 5.0.1 and keep root thread but have not tried it as I am traveling. I intend to look deeper into it when I get home.

I took the plunge and installed the deskop version of KingRoot and it worked perfectly. Did take a couple of minutes and I had to do some investigative work to get around the Chinese UI.
Here are some notes I put together for the AT&T S4 (I337) with OC4 (should also work on OC3): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62378222&postcount=20

hello guys! i've been out of the rooting game for a while so i'm kind of lost. My mom has this phone, and we just moved. i want to get the wifi tethering mod on her phone so she can use her ipad and stuff. she's not really good with tech so i want a ROM that looks like 5.0.1 so she wont get confused with a new UI. I dont want to trip KNOX, so there a rom that looks or is like 5.0.1 (doesnt have to be that exact version) that i can flash via odin? i know i sound stupid but its been a while. thank you very much
