Didn't work as in ODIN rejected it or didn't work as in bootloop?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] lordmorphous:
see my edited post....i realized I didn't give much information, so tried to remedy that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Looks to me as more of a Heimdall-specific issue as there was no AUTH error. What I'm seeing looks more like an internal communication error where Heimdall can't actually get the phone to do anything.. try ODIN on a VM or something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] lordmorphous:
Ok...I'll give it a try later on another computer. Heimdall does have an autodetect feature and a pit file download feature, both of which seemed to work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
I didn't find OC6 but I did find OF1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
I have the OF1 but I need the OC6 to pre-root....

Oh well I'll just use a cleaner-upper to fix up the experimental firmware and make it suitable for day to day use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
Found it. You have to download the files from the links in the file I'm uploading.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Would you believe that I already downloaded that and the link for the BL file redirects to an adfly site that redirects to another broken adfly link?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
Ok found a better source. For links scroll down:https://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f777/unbrick-n910a-full-file-n910aucu2coc6-5-0-1-ok-1993939/.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Those links are dev-host links and when I try to download it times out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
I got it too download but my browser said it could have a virus.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Has your desktop antivirus picked anything up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
Yup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Well considering those are win32 trojans, what if we just extract the file in a Linux VM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] boyhonda5:
I tried the noship file in Odin and it fails after trying to flash the system image.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
Maybe. Will OI2 work or do you need OC6?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrredcon:
Hmm, it only has a 2/56 detection ratio...could it just be a false positive?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
OI2 is 5.1.1, which I can't preroot without an unlocked bootloader.

Thank you all so much for your dedication to this. I'm sure there are many of us still hoping.

I'm not done yet lol... I'm seeing about using this exploit on other Samsung devices. So far I'm working on the S4, Note 4, and the Note 5.

We paid $800 for these, may as well use em right XD
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
I'm sorry but I've looked all over but I can't find a correct odin firmware for OC6.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
That's okay... I hope the note 4 users are okay with KitKat then lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:
Do you think we could use this bug to get root:https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-6074. It's a brand new linux privilege escalation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] whodisname:
I got this phone 5 min ago. I need root. It looks like the op is referring to my 0hone but I want to make sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Nope sorry that's an active we don't have an engineering firmware for you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] whodisname:
Is there a root procedure for this boat, or should I just update it all the way to marshmallow and bite my lip?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Right now we don't have a root exploit for you guys on the 870, you can update to marshmallow and we'll post something big when we find an exploit.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Duckman5:
I'm too tired to compare bootloader right now, but if you have never been past 5.0, you can downgrade to 4.4, root, and flash a pre-rooted 5.0. If you want to go past that with root, though, you're out of luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
It would depend on the BL, wouldn't it? If you have a KK BL, then you should be able to ODIN whatever the equivalent of NCE is, root and go forward to 5.0 again. Run the Samsung Phone Info app and see. Before I got stuck with the OI5 BL, I had 5.0 on the phone with an OA1 BL.

N910 OC4

Dunno if that will help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] whodisname:
I'm rocking that one. Thing is, I had the s3 and so I know that messing with a downgrade can brick these right quick. I know it's a different phone but you may know what I'm talking about. Fuses and whatnot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Great I've got what I need now, I'll get right to work on the pre-rooting when I get home!

We've got what we need for the N910A, I've just gotta pre-root and pack it all up, should be done in 1-2 days (or less ;) )
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
OP updated to have less download links and no more reliance on an internet connection, speeding up the already fast and easy root process.

I install OI5 with odim, OF3 with FlashFire and vanir_klte_6.0.120516.zip like a custom rom with FlashFire, but gave the error message talking to get in touch with AT & T for not having the correct rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Vesnyx:
Y'all are trying to flash AOSP roms with a TouchWiz kernel which is a no go. You can't even change to a custom kernel because our bootloader is locked. That's why we haven't had any major development in the ROM department. Simply replacing the kernel inside the ROM packages won't do anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Hey well at least we know now lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Its_Tim:
wait, so are we able to get root on 6.0.1? All i want is to debloat my phone >_>
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
I'm working on it.. Should be ready to use at some point today

Update: Didn't get to that today (sorry!). But, I did get to something much much better that I think you may like... update on page one is on its way..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] invert_nexus:
I'm curious about tethering. I remember being rooted with the stock rom on some other phone and getting a notice from at&t that i have tethering software installed.

Adfree android and wifi hotspot are my two main reasons for using root.

Anyone know if these roms allow wifi hotspot without running back to mother and telling on you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Pretty sure there are zips that you can flash with FlashFire that will enable tethering without the notice. Look around in the Android Development area.

Thanks [MENTION=6610058]UsandThem[/MENTION] the index has been updated
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] IJoxer:
My instincts tell me no, but since nobody has mentioned it, is it possible that this will somehow be applicable to the g870a?

I grudgingly forfeited root to get the shiny new toy (MM) and while I didn't regret it much at first, I've become irritated by my battery consumption and lack of performance tweaking, or just tinkering in general really. Decided to check here since it's been a while and got super excited seeing this thread, then realizing I have the Active. ?

I'm not new to any if this, so any thoughts or opinions about using this method on the Active is appreciated, I'm willing to experiment.

Thanks and awesome work on everything thus far!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
You can try it and see what happens.. I don't really know if this will work on the G870A, but let's give it a try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] IJoxer:
Do you think I'd be better off just using the files for the 900, or the 870 equivalent? It's been a while, I'm having trouble recalling what is and isn't cross-compatible, I know the roms were, but not sure if we modified the baseband/firmware or what not?

I don't wish to derail the thread, but I would like to participate if this well help the Active users as well, so long as it isn't an issue.

Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
At this point you should just use the 870 equivalent, just to be safe. If you're feeling up for it you can go ahead and try the 900 files.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] IJoxer:
Alright, I'll be home within the hour and I'll start experimenting and will post back with results.

Thanks for your help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
No problem, always happy to help :)

Does this method for root theoretically work for [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION]'s Unrooted Stock 5.1? http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-update-to-g900aoi5-5-1-unrooted-t3235774

I plan to keep tabs on what ROMs are tested and confirmed working, but it would be great just to get out of the Lollipop stone age while keeping root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
It COULD. In reality I'm not sure so you can so ahead and try it, let's see what happens.

A major update is on its way... ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] UsandThem:
Yes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] IJoxer:
I'm curious to see the update, I can't seem to find the equivalent files I need for the OIC, which I believe would be OJ3 on the 870. Muinz_ris OJ3 stock rom doens't contain the tar.md5, nor the files necessary to create them. Depending on what you have in store, I may just go ahead and risk the 900 files.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] xdanilva:
[MENTION=7597286]AptLogic[/MENTION] Can you credit me for finding the files it makes me feel good being credited

Are you sure that towelroot will work for the Note 4 because it was never designed for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Sure, I'll update the OP momentarily.

Well towelroot should work for most devices with the vulnerability, so I think it'll work. I guess we'll see.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
YOU THINK? WE'LL SEE? (not that I have that phone...)

Hasn't someone tested it for you to see if it works before you make a thread for it???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
The engineering firmware has the vulnerability, I'm sure of it. What we need to see is if towelroot v2 will work or if we need to tell people to use v3 with a modstring. Either way the vulnerability is there and we'll be able to get it working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Okay so towelroot didn't work on the Note 4, we're cycling through some other exploits in the note 4 forum now. We'll find the right one, it just takes a little time.

In the meanwhile, I'm working on rooting the AT&T S6 now, looks very promising given the existing exploits. ;)

UPDATE: We got root on the Note 4 confirmed! On to the Galaxy S6 we go!

Hey look everyone...Mr Douche nozzle is back with more negativity. Didn't the Mod have a talk with you about your tone and attitude?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Hey now, there's nothing wrong with a healthy amount of skepticism. Of course he could have toned it a bit more nicely but you don't have to call him names because of it.

Let's encourage a helping, positive attitude in this thread :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] eviljonny1:
I know I know, sorry. I just don't like the attitude of negativity/entitlement some people have. Do they not realize you guys are doing this for FREE?!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
I totally get what you're saying, just be a bit nicer when you point it out lol.

Again, nice atmosphere. I won't support a device if the forums are clogged with people flaming each other :)

Excuse me. I use lots of things on this site and I feel like he was out of line. I may have been as well. Apologies to all involved save for samcc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
The Facebook page thing was pretty funny, I'll admit. But seriously, this type of argument is not necessary or useful on xda. I don't want to be that guy, but if this continues, I'm gonna have to ask a Mod to come in here and change your mindsets.

I created this thread to help people, not spend all day calling them garbage.

Hope ya understand :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
I read the OP's very nice responses to you. He was brought up very politely, which is good (not something I always am).

Now before I report your post to the mods AGAIN (because you are really ridiculous), let me explain why I said what I did. The OP needs to understand that these are people's phones he is trying to help with. He is very young (and very intelligent, I might add) and he does not sometimes understand that if you kill someones phone by information given, then it might cause a big headache to that person (even with a disclaimer). I was one of those people, but luckily that stupid Kingroot worked long enough so I could get back to rooted OF3 (with that stupid OI5 BL). Others were not that lucky, but then most of them never had root to begin with. He created that new thread before it was actually tested, from what I saw. Now he says it seems to have been tested.

I do appreciate what he does and I am ecstatic that he and [MENTION=7533813]NavSad[/MENTION] worked it out with the experimental OF1 tar. I personally have not tried it, but I feel so much better that it is said to work and if I ever need to tear down my phone (probably won't), that I will be able to get root back. This is called a PERMANENT root method, while the original method WAS NOT.

I love a good custom rom, like the screenshots attached. I would be VERY unhappy if I had to live with crappy Stock. And I am giving up wifi calling/sms to keep it. I would love to be able to afford a new phone (with UNlocked BL), but cannot and it seems people do not like to do Dev like they used to anymore.

So now that I have wasted many minutes responding to YOU, I am going to go about my day.

HAVE A NICE DAY AND THANK YOU [MENTION=7597286]AptLogic[/MENTION] for your work.

As soon as I get home and finish clearing out a couple small things, so within the next 2 hours.

The release will be to GitHub first as source which you can zip yourself and flash, the prebuilt zip will follow within half an hour depending on how my upload speed wants to act today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuNySLiM:
Excitement is building! Looking forward to your release! I love thsee Samsung devices w/LOCKED BOOTLOADERS! I have literally tried to brick my SHAMU(nexus6) just because it is way too easily flashed compared to the Samsung devices I've danced with since I realized that my note 3 should be able to set any app to multi-window, discovered Super User ROOT permission and it's been one hell of an adventure, good, bad and exhausting at times!

Sorry that was a stray file left from a very early version of X (this file was subsequently removed). It has been removed in the latest commit but git is still refusing to push the changes.

[MENTION=7597286]AptLogic[/MENTION] is there any hope still remaining for achieving permanent root on MM or N for this phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
At this point no. But if we can get some kind of exploit to get us system root on Marshmallow we'd be set. Unfortunately considering the new SELinux enhancements in MM/N, that probably won't happen.

Possible new lead: Would we be able to use a KitKat engineering kernel on a Marshmallow ROM? [MENTION=7533813]NavSad[/MENTION]

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Duckman5:
Try writing to it from some place like your computer. If that doesn't work, back up everything and reformat it. If that doesn't work then your SD card had simply failed/reached EOL and is now read only. It happens and you either need to get a warranty replacement or buy a new one. Be happy it is still readable.

Hey everyone,

I used this guide to root my s5 and it worked great. However, today I messed it up and it when I turn it on it freezes at the "Galaxy S5" bootup screen. I can access download mode and recovery mode though. Is there a way to fix this? (preferably being able to keep my data, but if that's not possible I guess I'll have to live with it :crying:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Sorry, with the options you've got you have no choice but to re-flash the engineering firmware, which will wipe everything. :(

Protip: Next time do a backup with FlashFire before you try things, they've saved my ass a whole bunch of times ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] clyde1914:
Is that the COI5 one in the OP?

And that's unfortunate, this is the second time this has happened to me with this phone :(

Thanks for the quick reply!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
No you can just go ahead and flash the engineering firmware and start the process over again, no need for the OI5 unless you want to unroot.

The quick reply is because I've got like 20 other xda tabs open and my computer goes off when I get a reply to any of my threads :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] clyde1914:
Is that the "experimental" firmware? Sorry I can't find any mention of an engineering firmware in the OP.
