[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] perXway1:
I obviously know about cataclysm and have ran it on my nexus 5. I've already explained this... That's how I was able to compare. It's called cyanogenMod by the way if you're gonna start taking this to a55hole level.

I rooted and ran CM7 on my htc mytouch 4g (glacier). I rooted and ran android revolution by mike1986 and nrgz rom on my htc amaze. I ran revolution on my rooted htc one s as well. My galaxy s3 and s4 were rooted and primarily ran rootbox and/or slimroms, depending on what mood I was in. My my nexus 4, and nexus 5 primarily stuck with slimkat and cataclysm once the slim infrastructure fell apart. My nexus one and galaxy nexus ran every rom available because roms were cool and different back then. My moto x 1st gen and 2nd gen stayed stock... development wasnt there and i felt that moto's take on aosp felt clunkier than google's.

I've also developed roms under different usernames in multiple forums around xda, helped multiple developers with building roms and recovery images, and probably know more about rooting and android in general than you'll ever know. You're a troll, and that's fine. I'm sure you have an amazing life. But you're talking out of your a55. And that's also fine. As I said, my best friend has the 6p (upon my recommendation btw... release date order). Its a solid phone. But everything I said is very much true and you're moreso trying to justify to yourself and others that you, not only got a better phone, but that you know more than me about anything...

Lol

Can you please write that you MUST enable OEM unlock to being able to flash these files.

If you don't enable OEM unlock you will get a FAP lock and it will end up in failure of flashing

2.nd is to not "relock" the oem unlock since if you might trigger something that tries to boot into a "custom" recovery it will stay on boot loop into a "FAP" binary info on S5 Neo Screen
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] NotGrump903:
I wrote a little guide on how to root Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo SM-G903F with this new CF-Autoroot files. Should work with SM-G903M too, you just need to download the file for the M variant.

Note that this will trip KNOX to 0x1! You, and only you, are responsible for what you do with your device. When something goes wrong no one from XDA can held responsible. Do this at your own risk!

First make sure you have the latest Samsung USB drivers.

Then simply follow these steps:

1. Download the CF-Autoroot zip file for your phone from here.

2. Extract it to desired location.

3. Enable USB debugging and OEM-Unlock in developer options of S5 Neo. If you don't know how to do this or what this is, you'll most probably should stop right here and leave your phone as it is ;)

4. Open Odin.exe from extracted folder.

5. Power down your phone and boot into download mode by pressing and holding Vol. down + Home + Power. Confirm by pressing Vol. Up.

6. Connect your phone to your PC and wait for Odin to state "added".

7. Click on AP button and select "CF-Auto-Root-s5neolte-s5neoltexx-smg903f.tar.md5"

8. Wait for Odin to finish binary check, then simply press start and wait.

The phone should restart a few times. When this is done you're rooted!

All props go to [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] for providing Supersu and CF-Autoroot. He is simply the best!
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Neoony:
OP updated.

Thanks for suggestions and all.

I have disabled OEM unlock after flash of the root.

No problems, with such thing. Its still off.

But good to know there might be a danger.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LastStandingDroid:
Little back story

How I noticed this

Used root tools and re disabled OEM unlock.

Tested to create a backup with flashfire and it failed and got me stuck on s5 neo with custom recovery binary FAP lock message

Ended up power down phone upon powering up same thing happened booting into stock recovery worked but didn't help not even if I wiped cache or factory reset.

Ended up in restoring whole system to make it work again.

So don't re lock the OEM unlock option it will end up bad if you try to do even if you don't have a custom recovery yet.

G903M DS work?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] BobBaltzer:
According to:

https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/

you have to use another file for G903M. Should work however.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LastStandingDroid:
It is called try at your own risk proceed with caution. It isn't ment for your device and might render some stuff useless. Chainfire haven't made one specific for m variant but it might work.

Again you try it with your own risk. Chainfire doesn't being held responsibility for your actions.

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Neoony:
I thought the question is, that there are 2 variants of G903M, one is with dual sim (DS) one is without. I guess.

And there is root for M variant too.

Just check the OP again. Or chainfire. It was there since F.

EDIT: or the M means DS and thats the difference between those neo variants? Im not sure here xD

EDIT2: Yeah, then I guess all g903M are dual sim. http://www.phonemore.com/compare/ph...mds-vs-samsung-galaxy-s5-neo-sm-g903f/2917321

Then nvm I guess.

Will ROOTING my SM-G903F allow me to remove Region Lock?

Hi everyone, and first of all thanks for providing this information!

I just got my S5 NEO, and unfortunately found out that it was Region Locked, so I am not able to use it with my local SIM.

My only interest in rooting the device at this time is to remove the region lock.

So naturally, my question is, will rooting actually allow me to do this?

Would really appreciate a clarification on this!

Thanks guys! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LastStandingDroid:
Depends chainfire made a region unlock tool not sure if it'll work though
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Neoony:
Well, I know there were some files for unlock, flashable by ODIN, way before root. Also lots of users reporting success. It was on gsm hosting forums, but now all I can find is this: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f94...laxy-s5-neo-fast-safe-unlockunit-com-1992423/

Maybe they removed it, to sell that service.

But anyway, you can try doing it over https://chimeratool.com/ they got a trial you can use, if you already didnt use it. They should also provide unlock.

But I have no idea if it will work or not, so do it on your own risk. Root shouldnt be needed.

Also dont forget to enable "OEM unlock" and USB Debugging.

But really at your own risk.

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] LastStandingDroid:
Then it was Sim locked?

Hmm does it require busybox?

What you reefer to? The kernel or

Mostly the model SM-G903W instead of M or F ...

Well what do you want to know, if what will work?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] escape75:
Yeah if the M or F files would work on W edition ...

I guess there's 2 versions for a reason, they must be all different :)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
I think only difference is m has dual Sim? Heard someone tell that

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] escape75:
So theoretically the F would work on W, maybe :)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
Yes depending on if it has dual Sim it'll only disable the usage of dual Sim if you flash a f firmware

Got my neo!rooting went great!

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Neoony:
The only differences between the F and W seem to be "4G Network LTE bands" and different "Specific Absorption Rate (Radiation)" (and different firmware version of course).

http://www.phonemore.com/compare/ph...03f-vs-samsung-galaxy-s5-neo-sm-g903w/2919737

(The network LTE is still in the same category for F and W, a bit different support, but same category........the M is in completely different category. Which is another sign of M being much more different.)

I would try the F version if you REALLY want root and you are willing to risk it.

But I really have no idea if its gonna work or not. Depends on if the root even touches any of those things, but I guess it shouldnt really modify hardware-software things in the firmware.

I would personally go for it. But if you do...do at your own risk.

And report back if you do, you might be the first one to test it. :D :)

And the network support and maybe few other details.

The M version seems definitely much more different than F or W.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
Well I really don't care about it won't change my device in any way the thing is support for the device will most likely be equal. So when something comes it will eventually work on other devices might need some work. Specially if something comes for dual Sim and you name it
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] nanquan:
No, not exactly. There are 2 types of locks, a SIM lock where the phone will only accept SIM cards from a specific Mobile Carrier.

And there's also a REGION LOCK, which as I understood is something that's used exclusively by Samsung.

Basically it means that a phone that's locked to a region like Europe, will not accept SIM cards from carriers outside of that region.

So a phone could be SIM-Unlocked, but still region locked.

I believe I read that Samsung has 2 main zones in it's Region Locking: Europe & America.

Samsung Phones originating in Canada or Asia, don't have a region lock.

Mine was locked to Europe (as it was imported from Germany apparently).

But in both cases, an IMEI based unlock code will do the trick!
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
Well as I Sim unlocked an iPhone they white listed the IMEI so that's why I thought it was same on this.

As far as I know chainfire told It was firmware related

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Neoony:
Iam not sure I get your post :D at least to the relevance of this.

I was talking about the differences between the models and if the ROOT from F would in theory fit to W.

Iam just not sure if any of those "differences" like different Network compatibility/support would matter if trying to ROOT with files from different model - therefore different firmware. It just seems unlikely to me, unless it would come to more significant feature like DualSIM. But Iam not sure.

So Iam really not sure if you are just saying, that according to you, a ROOT would fit other models of the device even if they have some of those tiny differences and it would work? Or that it would not? Or Iam just totally lost at your response :D

I get, that there are most probably gonna be things like a specific ROOT for W in the future, most probably. Or if ROMs, then there are gonna be versions for the Variants or so. But the question is, are other variants usable? compatible? right now? in theory. Like the ROOT from F to W
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] :
Well since chainfire only flashes temporary files it will work yes since it doesn't touch kernel

There is always developers that Is browsing for exploits. If any findings is made usually they report it to Google, and when it's made public things are being looked into by developers.

Let's say like this:

Stage fright was released in July/2015

According to zimperium we have at least one vurn left. Sadly no one seems to have made a root method using this method. It's a good root method for users if you maintain it from pc whether why it isn't released I don't know. Maybe they thought it be unnecessary since it was seen as a partially critical vulnerability.

Look http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...ds-says-stagefright-is-a-theoretical-problem/ about Samsung smart answer.

If it isn't patched in near feature it be good for phones users who wants root

you can root with cf root since it won't touch anything.

Hi

I tried to root my phone with your instructions but when I started my phone after the root was completet,

TouchWiz and other apps wouldn't work. So I wouldn't see anything but a black screen.

I had to reset the phone to get it running again.

Did something like this happen before to someone here?

What I did was go to SuperSU and full unroot it said try to go to OTA stock image or something then rebooted, Everything was still there Downloaded apps and settings Etc!! just NO root BUT phone works perfectly.

I'm in the middle of trying to find a different Rooting option, Though I don't think I will be succesful because the phones kinda crap and not many developers are arsed with it?

My knox is already tripped because i did'nt check OEM unlock in my settings

So if you are going to flash your firmware to stock so it resets the custom binary " Be Sure to check OEM Unlock in developer option to be sure not to trip knox warranty.

I then did Wipe data/factory reset, Wiped cache partition then rebooted, setup the normal first boot settings and then make sure! OEM unlock, Usb debugging, Unknown sources are checked, Power down then go into download mode and flash the stock firmware through Odin, to fully go back to stock firmware.

Once passed in odin you will have clean stock firmware with no trace of root mate so you could OTA update new firmware if your area has the new Marshmallow pushed out.

Or just download the new Marshmallow firmware from Sammobile if it's out in your area

Hope this helps mate I'm still learning so get a second opinion just to be safe.

Did you root your phone the way it is described in the forum?
