Hi, I got my S5 today and out of the box it had NG3 installed, is there a root method for this yet? If so could someone point me in the right direction of where I can find it please?
Have you tried towelroot?
Let us know if you tried it and whether or not it worked please.

I did but idk if I did something wrong, I soft bricked and had to odin back stock with the firmware off of samfirmware site
Kernel build date on NG3 is July 19 so the exploit has been patched. Can't root with towelroot since it needs a kernel build before Jun 3.
What I did was odin flash philz recovery, then went into the custom recovery and went to reboot, it asked me to root and so I did then was able to download su from play store and was rooted

I was on nf6 rooted but then hooked phone to PC and used odin to flash the new bn3 and lost root..and towel root doesn't work so the only way I new of to get root back was flash custom recovery then root it through the custom recovery ...

This phone will never not be rootable. It has an unlocked bootloader, so you can just flash the recovery of your choice, root it from there, then reboot and you're done.

And why is that? Unless Samsung has restricted the bootloader permissions or set a new qfuse to block a downgrade of this firmware version, then the OP could use Odin to install a pre June 3rd build of 4.4.2 firmware, which Towel root can work with.
The previous update was revertible by installing an earlier firmware (confirmed). And NG3 is probably revertible as well (unconfirmed) i.e. it will be revertible unless Samsung took explicit steps to block a downgrade.
Provided that the OP doesn't care about the Knox flag, then the suggestion to install a custom recovery and root from there is valid too.

Thanks.
Yeah, I did it via download mode.
So, what I did, I flash it via Odin in Download mode, and when it auto-reboots, I instantly hold Power + Pwr Up + Home in order to get to Recovery.
If I let it boot up first, it seems that recovery is overwritten by the stock recovery.
All good now =)

Hi guys, no luck here, have the G900T, with the NG3, tried all with Odin, phillz recovery, bootloader+modem, downgrade to NF6 (failed too) or even the one before, nada, zero, just fail and fail resulting soft brick and only through Kies recovery I'm able to have the phone working again!

you need to revert to ne6 firmware for towel root to work. once rooted you can upgrade with mobile odin pro this will allow you to retain root and not trip knox

But as I commented on my first post here, nada, nothing, I have tried the Phillz, the CF-auto-root, downgrade, with the original cable and others, with and without the sim card and/or sd card inserted (all of this with usb debug on in the developers settings) i dont really understand why, everything I try goes to fail and soft brick, only recuperable with Kies and full wipe...
Mine is the MS-G900T with the latest firmware :S is very weird, isn't the first time I root a phone (Galaxy Vibrant and Blaze, Nexus and Nexus 7) and I have flsh a lot of times and I know the for this procedure you have to follow each letter step by step!
I'm start thinking that probably is a locked bootloader... dunno...
this was easy and thank you. i downgraded with the full stock file, no data loss. grabbed mobile pro and im now at ng3 rooted. tho my e-mail will not work. might have to factory reset the device.

Save your data, then try doing a Factory Reset, see if takes you back to official. If your KNOX is 0x1, then you can flash a fresh copy of 4.4.2 through a recovery like twrp or cwm. If you where rooted, Towel Root and others will not root 4.4.4 yet.

Cheryl, I had the same problem when trying to go back to stock 4.4.2 from being rooted. Sometimes it doesn't stick the first couple of times, I don't know why. First, get a fresh copy of 4.4.2 NC5, here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712205 this is a complete copy OS/bootloader/baseband. Just follow the instructions on the thread. Here is a link for Samsung drivers, and Odin v 1.85 http://www.downloadodin.info/download-odin-1-85 I think Odin v 1.85 works best.

You download odin than downliad twrp than run odin and check ap and select the twrp you downloaded. Put your phone in download mode and start odin. One thing you need to watch out for is after the process finishes the phone reboots and you need to have it go immediately into recovery instead of booting up.. if you need more info you will need to do some reading there are plenty of how toos and i can't type this much on my phone

That bc you are only rooted...
Being rooted dows NOT allow you to install a custom recovery. This requires a unlocked bootloader. You will more than likely have to use Odin to reflash ND7 and then root again

The reason in installed clockwork recovery was I was trying to use the mods listed listed HERE> http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-verizon/development/mod-wifi-usb-hotspot-tethering-t2874035
I got the first warning, ( "System Software not Authorized" ) after installing clockwork recovery.
Next I download 4.4.2 from Sam Mobile and tried using Odin then Kies several times and the warning changed to "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again".
I think it's a Hard Brick because GhettoRoot is preventing me from flashing 4.4.2.
It was a brand new phone I got under warranty. What should I say when I return it?
( All-together I have # 4 of the note 2's. Two with cracked screens, Also I have One Re-Manufactured asurion and this brand new one that has the software warning )
For a test I tried flashing 4.4.2 on one of the other phone with GhettoRoot, that would not work either.

Speaking to the T-Mobile rep this morning the update evidently fixes a bunch of issues using SMS and MMS via the WiFi calling feature. My phone has issues with some people not being able to send SMS to me, and sometimes mine don't get sent. Only sometimes....odd.
Being a noob... is there a way to extract the files necessary to just update the firmware, without losing root and custom ROM?

Hey guys, my Boot.Img is not the bootloader that you are looking for. It is just the boot.img which is the kernel. That is why i created my tut on how to root when you have the latest complete firmware on your phone. Mobile odin will not flash certain files. Go to my thread and follow the steps and you will have all the files installed on to your phone and have root..
I flashed the full update via mobile odin which flashes everything but the bootloader. I've tried flashing yur boot file in pc odin like you said but it never sticks. I've done it twice.

please reread my other thread above yours about my boot.img is not the bootloader.tar that you are trying to install. It is just Boot.img which is only the kernel.
You will have to do either 1 of 2 things,
1- pull the files from the full stock nk2 and create your own bootloader.tar.md5 file
or
2- flash the full nk2 with PC ODIN 3.09 on your computer and then use my method to achieve root.

have you installed a custom recovery or custom rom on your phone, if you have you might have all ready tripped knox and that is prolly why you did not get the prompt for disabling knox.

You can ODIN the full stock .tar and then follow up with TWRP and flash your ROM after that.

Cf auto root will root it
Anyone got a link to Cf auto root for sm900p? I get bandwidth exceeded when I download from chainfire
No issues rooting and installing TWRP on NK4 for me. My steps were as follows:
1. Downloaded the official N900PVPUDNK4_N900PSPTDNK4_SPR from the links in the OP.
2. Backed up my rooted NH7 (via Titanium Backup and TWRP) just in case.
3. Wiped everything via TWRP recovery.
4. Odin (v3.09) NK4 using the AP slot and let the phone reboot.
4b. Probably overkill but I then did a factory wipe via stock recovery and rebooted.
5. Odin TWRP 2.8.1.0 and rebooted into recovery.
6. Installed Chainfire's SuperSU-2.40.zip via TWRP recovery and rebooted the phone.
7. Immediately got rid of all the bloat using Titanium Backup!
So far I haven't run into any issues.
Did you ever get it to work?

My software and baseband are both nk4.
I went full stock nh7 and updated ota.
When I updated to nh7 (when it was new), I used kies... It only updated one and caused me problems. I had to flash both via odin to fix back then.
Ya looks like my baseband never took I'll have to fix at a later point. Phones working fine though. It's weird.

You might want to try to power off before odin. Sometimes modem wont be updated if odined after a mere reboot.

ya your right. i forgot about that. i did a battery pull last time. well since my baseband is still nh7 . ill be reflashing nh7 tar. then back up to nk4 in about a hr when off work.
i managed to get the OF6 sprint full rom file through kies.
this is only to be flashed using odin in the ap slot.
you will probably lose root and your custom recovery.
you may be able to root it and restore the data . That up to you to try.
This is the Sprint version Only!
here is the link: if someone wants to provide a mirror that would be appreciated.
Disabling 'Reactivation Lock' from 'Security' in the settings allowed me to root and add a custom recovery (TWRP).
your on your own from here!

here is another link thats a zipped MD5.tar file. this must be unzipped before putting the file into odin ap slot . (thanks to itskapil for the link)

It's always great to have a TAR file on PC. Thanks!
But btw, this is Android 5.0 update, right? Have read on android blogs that OF6 has been 5.1 update for T-Mobile Galaxy S6 sets. So..
Okay, it's 5.0.2. Brings Reactivation lock.

First is this a necessary update? Second does one have to update to OD3 first before doing the update. I'm still on OA6

no you dont have to update and no it isnt necessary. but if you are on stock OA6 I would take to guess that this rom is 5 months newer with improvements in alot of areas. they claim its for factory reset protection (so someone cant steal your phone and just factory reset it and it theirs now) and for reactivation protection (same thing so noone can reactivate the phone and make it theirs)
if i was on straight stock i would update. if i was on a stock rooted i would either try and root it or wait for someone to root the tar file and make it flashable through recovery.
thats my take on it.
cool... thanks. I like the security features, but at the same time I may wait till the new Moar comes out to do the work.
Is there a new radio and modem version with this update?

Thank you for this and by chance has anyone seen a firmware/modem update only for OF6 yet?
Edit: Found! Thanks tdunham - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=21717

Has anyone successfully loaded a custom recovery and possibly one of the available OA6 ROMs after updating to this full tar?
I know there are separate modem and firmware files, but I was just curious if anyone has tried to go there from full stock.

Yes. In fact, I did a full rom install, with nand erase all (after a bad flash), and I still went back to OA6 and OD3 stock deodexed roms.
Flashing TWRP from Odin works fine after flashing OF6 or OD3. I also used the CF one click root method, and that also worked for me.
Everything I did was in Odin 3.10.6.
Chainfires auto root makes odin complains about the recovery and shows 'fuse>3', which (I assume) means I've already burnt thru three of the 400+ fuses in the phone (kernel, recovery and probably rooting). I've tried odin 3.10.6 and the version that comes with chainfires auto root. Towelroot v3 says my phone isn't supported, even when using the command mod options.
I'll boot back into Windowz and try this a few more times. I don't see/know how joshdv rooted his phone...
edit: let's add insult to injury. I can't downgrade the firmware/OS to OA6, says it fails OS version.

@joshdv
Maybe it would help if you posted the link to the autoroot tar and any special steps you took to get it working.

Ya, before I flashed this, I knew I was probably stuck with OF6 and that there currently wasn't a reliable method to get root. Now, it's a waiting game to see if someone comes up with a method/hack to root this. GooooOOOOO CHAINFIRE!!!

Depends how long you're willing to wait and if you want to keep the warranty bit untripped.
If it doesn't matter, you can still flash custom recovery in odin and any one of the pre-rooted custom or stock roms that will run on the lollipop bootloader.
I got root by just installing custom recovery and flashing super su. zip
