Hey, I'm a very new when It comes to rooting so I appoligize for my lack of experience. I was wondering if there is a way to unlock my samsung galaxy s5 sm-g900f without using a computer, as I have no access to one. My phone is running on android 5.0 firmware. Thanks alot for the help .
Nope, not with Lollipop, if you were running a pre-June 2014 KitKat ROM, you could have used towelroot
Ah that sucks. Thanks for the fast reply

Hello
So firstly look at the image i attached....
Now i want to know if it is possible to root this phone and install CM12 or another custom rom or even an official lollipop rom that i will receive updates on ?
Thanks in advance
It looks to me like you have a Verizon S5, although the model number states otherwise and the DONGCHAO.617 build number seems custom. You do have a Verizon S5 though, so you can root on NCG, which you are running, through towelroot. However, ROMs like CM12 can't be installed without an unlocked bootloader, which is impossible currently on the VZ S5. You can get a Lollipop ROM with root by following these instructions.

Thanks for the reply, just one question is this lollipop rom and official firmware that can be updated?
..also if i keep this software running and don root etc will it get lollipop eventually?

What you're currently running is not official. The build number isn't official, anyway, so it won't get the lollipop update. The firmware that I'm telling you about can be updated, but I'm not 100% sure about the ROM.
Ok Thank you I will give it a try either today or tomorrow cheers for the info

So I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S5, and I thought it would be nice and all. And it was without a doubt nice. However, I want to revert back to how things were before the device was rooted. I've tried using Super SU's "Unroot" feature, Kingo's Unroot feature, and several others. However, when I go to software update in the settings, it still says that my device has unauthorised software changes and it will not update. I know that are no updates available for it right now. I only checked, hoping to have it say that I have the latest version installed to reassure me that the root is removed, but it still shows up. Anyone help? Please?

Unfortunate if you root in Samsung devices it trips the Knox 0x0 counter

Think you should be fine by flashing twrp and su 2.82 I can reccomend flashing twrp and straight to extremely custom rom by Luattic though. Rooted straight away, no bloatware and better performance!

Well I sucessfully rooted it on Android 7.0 Nougat and have found out that it has been updated to support the devices that are like mine so you should be able to root it by using the root pack!

Hello,
I have never had such a pain in the but device as this verizon galaxy s5, I'm wanting to know if and how can I downgrade it down to lollipop or kitkat so I can root it, and remove the verizon apps and such because I'm using it on tmobile, it works great just those useless verizon apps take up space. Below are my phones specs

Try this. Only for lollipop roms! But you can downgrade to PB1 https://www.google.com.do/amp/s/for...-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370/amp/
