[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] dave562:
Thanks.

I was able to install the G900VVRU2BPB1_G900VVZW2BPB1_VZW.zip file via Odin

Going back to the directions, I rebooted the phone into the bootloader. Then I connected it to the PC and ran root2.bat. It is not establishing the connection.

The phone number showed up in My Computer. The instructions are not really clear here. Is the phone supposed to be in bootloader mode (so that I can install a bootloader) or in a standard boot, so that it can connect to My Computer?

I am going to do a standard reboot and see if I can get root2.bat working.

Here is the latest error. I was able to get root2.bat to run with the phone connected and USB Debug enabled

I can boot it into the bootloader, but nothing happens. Looks like I need to do a manual install of KROOT now?

The desktop version of Kingroot failed. I am going to try to push it via ADB

Sorry for being so new here.

I got Kingroot pushed to my device via ADB. What am I supposed to do next?

E:\davidtemp\S5Root\OK3_ROOT>adb install NewKingrootV4.93_C146_B273_xda_release_2016_06_14_105243.apk

I ran the KingRoot app from the phone itself. It failed to root.

Does that mean I am out of luck?
