If you took the update you can root using Kingroot 4.1.0.703, it will root a VZW S4 running 5.0.1. It's worked for a few members so far.

And this is spam because...........
Anyone that took the OTA to 5.0.1 can root using this version. It wasn't possible with older versions.

As the title says, is it too late for me to root my SCHI545 if I'm updated to 4.4.2? I can see there is a way to root the GS4 with towelroot but wasn't sure if that has been patched out yet by Verizon at this point in time.

Hi Everyone,
Didn't see anyone post the stock firmware ODIN files for the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Alpha SM-G850A. I want to get it before I try to root my phone.
Or how can I extract it's stock ROM? After that and test, I'll upload it post a link to all.
Thanks.

Where did you find a root method for this device? So far, as I have been following, there is no known root method.

I'd love to know if this is possible, too. Now that I can't actually move apps over to my SD card on lollipop, rooting is a necessity. Unfortunately, Verizon and Samsung seem to be following Apple's mindset of not allowing hacking/customization. My phone updated to lollipop and OF1 version of lollipop in the middle of the night without my permission, and now it looks like I'm stuck with it.
There's no root as of now for OF1 but you should be able to Odin the downgrade back to OC1 via muniz post. He has a flashable tar file. The only way that'll work is if you didn't take the OTA and kept root. If you did the OTA and now have OF1 you're stuck for the moment.
so I've done tons of research and lots of people
including me are complaining because there
are no roots or root methods for the new i545vrugof1 update for the galaxy s4 Verzion. for people who didn't update, there are ways to keep your root when you update to of1 but for people who didn't update without flashing a rooted stock rom, there is no hope. you can't downgrade or root your device and you have no choice but to wait for a root method to come out or a new update. so anyone who is making a root for this specific firmware, please do so and help us out and remember to #rootvrugof1

I had successfully rooted I545VRUGOC1 using Kingroot but then I updated to I545VRUGOF1 through Smart Switch, and Kingroot doesn't work now. I've searched a lot but it seems root just isn't available for OF1 as for now. Is it possible that I downgrade back to OC1? Thanks
currently there's no way to root OF1 and you can't go down to any build below it, due to the fact that OF1 has a new bootloader.

are you sure mate? there are tutorials online about downgrading so I was just wondering if it's really impossible? I have the official I545VZWGOC1 firmware file downloaded on my PC, will it not work if I flash it on my phone (currently I545VZWGOF1) using Odin?

downgrading specifically this version?
The bootloader has been updated similar to the way it was from kitkat to lolipop, so downgrade is not possible.
Plenty of people [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/rooted-galaxy-s4-t3158098]here[/URL] and here have stated that OF1 bootloader is locked, with failures at downgrading to OC1 .
Go ahead and try it yourself, if you so desire. From my understanding people who tried gotten their phones soft bricked, though I have no idea how to fix.
I'm really interested to see this resolved too!
I just upgraded my phone from 4.4.2 NK1 yesterday to 5.0.1 OC1 and OC1 is still vulnerable to the stagefright bugs....
Could someone who is a developer explain to me why they can't just update the part of Android that needs to be patched..?

Damn I to would love to also see a root or bootloader hack for 5.0.1 OF1.
We have root for the OF1 update! Yes there is a root for this phone however I am having trouble installing the Super SU Binaries. Kingroot will root the phone if you off Knox and disable it. Next I downloaded SuperSU me and installed it on my device. Ran it, uninstalling Kingroot, then, SuperSU popped up asking to update binaries. Clicked yes, then normal and it is done.

Use Kingroot 4.9.6 to root. as soon as it says you have root stop. Then go install Super SU. It will then have you try to up[date binaries. Go download and install Super sume and run it. When Kingroot is uninstalled and done, Super SU will pop back up asking again for the binaries. lick yes and normal installation. Reboot and done. My device is exactly like yours.
