Update: After being rooted with CF-Auto-Root and installed philz_touch_6.48.4, and MJ4 modem (due to domestic sim unlock), this ROM still has working fm radio(with Nextradio)/screen mirroring/video camera, . That's the only ROM that got all 3 functions working among several ROMs I tested. Isn't this awesome?!

Scroll down to "CWM / TWRP / Mobile ODIN installable ZIP" and grab the link in there. Flash in recovery and you should be good to go.

Install SuperSu via my first link.
Used Wanam Xposed and phone status is set to offical, but Kies still think mine is the lastest. Anyway, I will stick with 4.4.2 for working video camera, screen mirroring and fm.

You can ODIN the full stock .tar and then follow up with TWRP and flash your ROM after that.
I just did this process to upgrade from NH7 and then re-flashed Tema's CM12.
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.

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?

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

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.

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 =)

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

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.
ok so I wanted to take the 4.4.4 upgrade. so I went into kiev and installed the stock setup.
all went well and I have stock recovery but it still says I have a custom device and wont do the upgrade. I looked and sure enough it says status custom???
Any ideas as to why this would be??

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

Then flash stock Unrooted NC5 because the update will still see that you were modified and not stock. There is two places to look if you are official. 1st place is under settings about phone.

First thing I forgot. In order for the bootloader to stick do a cold boot into download mode. To do that completely shut off phone the wait about 30 seconds after the button lights turn off then hold power+home+volume down button at the same time until you see the Samsung logo.
And about the one click I would back up everything! You might loose stuff. Can't promise. I used the one click earlier and didn't loose anything. But you I took a chance. I also made a nandroid backup.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

Yes, you're stuck on the newer firmware now.

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

Link for Super user zip???
Here's the New OK4 full "Stock" tar for sprint GS5 (not sure about the sport version). This is only usable in odin.
Flash at your own risk.
Unzip file and place the MD5 file in the ap slot of Odin. uncheck auto reboot and uncheck reset time
then press start. enjoy

Sprint Global Roaming
Security Updates
Minor UI Updates
http://support.sprint.com/support/a...ServiceAdvisory_542_GKB69808-dvc8080008prd#!/
The first item is odd, as Global Roaming shouldn't require an update, unless they changed something in the modem.
Got really excited this was Marshmellow.
Regardless, thanks for the upload!!
Thank you.
Thanks for this

not a problem, already tripped it :/
Ditto
Since auto reboot is unchecked, do I reboot once it says passed? Odin says all threads complete and success 1 fail 0.

the reason for no auto rebooting is in case you want to flash twrp img.zip to root it be fore it boots the first time. its not mandatory. but if your rooting its sure easier
CF-Auto-Root some how reverted back to AO6.
Yeah im showing android version 5.0 after flash in odin and twrp and supersu.
so is this not working,.. or causing people issues? My daughter's stock s5 got the update ota.. but because I'm rooted I am thinking this is the only way. Currently I'm on OG1

its still 5.0 but its version ok4. if you want stock completely. dont uncheck auto reboot.
the auto reboot is unchecked so you can restart in download mode and flash either cf/auto root (if that works havent tried it) or twrp.img.tar
to gain root. in fact some people are saying if your already rooted when you first reboot, reboot into recovery and twrp will ask if you want root and root the rom itself.
Does this retain user data like the Kies update?

You have the CF Auto AO6 version made for MOAR. You need the regular CF Auto.

If you wipe 3 times and Factory reset 3 times in recovery first. Then flash this in Odin it comes out perfect. Running it right now.
