I know it's a long shot since the Verizon variant was never suppose to be rootable (if that's even a word lol), but it doesn't hurt to ask..

Flashfire doesnt work without root in the first place. So no.
Well, the problem is not the lack of root, but lack of ROMs for the Verizon s7.

My phone is rooted, I've used Flashfire already before. I'm just wondering if there are any roms for this variant of phone that can be used with Flashfire since it's not compatible with CWM or TWRP.

The only things I've found you can use with your device are Xposed and a few de-bloating scripts. Check out this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039

I have always used motochopper to root my S4 with no problem. However, after I got an update and try to root again. I am no longer able to. I believe that my kernel has been updated. I have attached my kernel version as well as the problem with this threat. If anybody has any idea why it is happening, that would be great.

If you have a SGH-i337M (Canadian) have you tried CF Auto Root?
The MF3 Update breaks root and locks the bootloader. There is a new root method in the Development section. No recovery is possible at this time

Sorry, the thread is in the general section. Look for "New Root Method for AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 (OTA FM3)"

The OP has a Canadian phone SGH-I337M and is on firmware MG1, the bootloader is not locked and the AT&T MF3 root method above will most likely not work for it. I'm not sure if it has been properly tested with other firmwares, but there is no need to when CF Auto Root will fork for the Canadian S4.

No problem. Make sure you read the sticky threads (pinned) in the General section for some good info if you haven't done so already and I hope you enjoy your phone.
Anyone know how to get a stable recovery on s5 active at ? I rooted with towel root and now I just need a recovery ? Here's my device info
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using XDA Free mobile app

Coming from a Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505 (rom was before Knox, yay!)) I guess I'm spoiled for info. I didn't quite expect it to be this sparse. :-/
Only 2 threads concerning rooting and installing recovery on the SM-G870F..
Even though I've been here for almost a decade, I still find it unsettling every time i have to fiddle with the firmware.
And even more so, when Samsung is threatening with all sorts of evil (which btw by law, doesn't ruin my guarantee where I live).
So thanks guys! I'm now rooted (Chainfire -Towelroot doesn't work) and have made a backup with TWRP.

Post a feedback when you're done
I confirm that twrp-2.8.7.0-klte ( galaxy S5 international version) works without problem on S5 Active ( SM-G870F).
You can not install this custom recovery direct from TWRP Manager from GooglePlay but installing is possible through Odin.
It was very hard to get any information and find clear experience about possible custom recovery for this model (SM-G870F). But thanks for you guys, it actually works now on my phone. :good:
Looking for Safestrap for SM-870W
Hi All,
After some research, I found that Samsung S5 Active (Bell (Canada) Mobility) has a locked bootloader
so I cannot install CWR or TWRP customer recovery. So I guess it Safestrap for me. But I can only find
Safestrap for either AT&T or Verizon http://www.mediablog.us/download-install-safestrap-recovery-verizon-galaxy-s5-sm-g900v-att-galaxy-s5-sm-g900a/
Can I use either one of them on my device? My intention is to load Koolkit ROM but I need to figure
out first how can I install Safestrap on my phone.
Any help, advise or suggestion is appreciated.
Thank you.
I'm using SM G900F
android version 5.0
baseband version G900FXXU1BOC6
kernel 3.4.0-4440161
I cant root this phone any way.I already tried Cf root , towel root and many other applications but didn't work.please help me to root this.thanks
Is the phone less than 4 weeks old?
Seems people buying new S5s can't root or recovery

FWIW... I purchased my phone on June 19, and was able to root it the next day using CF-Auto-Root by exactly following the directions in chainfire's thread. (It did trip Knox, but that wasn't a concern for me.)
Today I successfully installed Philz Recovery version 6.58.9 via Odin 3.07, exactly following the directions in this post from the main philz thread, and it worked fine.
There were a few mis-steps in the process where the root or recovery didn't "take" properly, but in each case it turned out I'd done something wrong in Odin - used the wrong file or left a box checked/unchecked.
Phone specs:
SM-G900W8 on Rogers
Build number LRX2IT.G900W8VLU1BOC1
Kernel version 3.4.0-4100894
Android version 5.0 stock (no upgrades applied before applying root or recovery)
So there may be hope for you?

Successfully flashed TWRP 2.870.
Had to remove battery during reboot, reinserted it and directly entered recovery. works fine.
im going to be flashing my friends Grand Prime from Cspire model SH-G530r7 and i was wondering if files for G530H would work because that is all that im seeing for the phone
he just got the phone and i dont want to brick it because cspire hardly has support on xda because its a southern provider
sorry this isnt really thread worthy, but i wanted to make sure g530h files worked or not
I don't think it will work and you shouldn't try, you can lost your phone

Yup. Do some debloat, leave the few useful functions, and it's actually pretty decent. I usually use debloated stock roms anyway. And you can do that on your own here.
