Newbie question here:
So I got a SM-G900t today. So far all I did was update it to 5.1.1 with Kies.
Then I changed the .tar with Odin to root it. Now it is stuck on endless boot loop, I've tried all the stuff to get out.
So I guess the .tar file was bad. How can I find the stock .tar or one that will root my phone?
Thanks
Chris

I now have 5.1.1 re installed along with titanium backup, app master, and King Root.
King root keeps giving me a network error?
No root yet.

I will have to try that.
I put it back to stock, updated to 5.1.1 and rooted it 3 times yesterday. Each time soon as it was rooted the camera stopped working (just like your link says)
So right now it is on 5.1.1 and I just disabled all the crap apps. The only reason for me to root is to delete the crap.
Thanks

Try ExynosAbuse, it's one-click.

No I didn't update it I believe it still to be gingerbread. Wasn't sure whether it would brick my phone, updating it whilst rooted.
This guide might help you. It has a separate section for Gingerbread.

Sorry, I thought you wanted to ROOT. My bad.
If you update via OTA/Kies you'll get unrooted. In case you don't wanna "touch" your device in anyway.

Flash a stock rom. There's CWM flashable versions floating around here somewhere (look in General/search), or you can get Odin flashable ones from the usual places (Samfirmware, AndroidFirmwares.net). Ordinary stock kernel in rom package will overwrite your rooted kernel.

I'm not sure how to flash roms. Reason I want to unroot it is because I want to send it back to samsung. Do you think resetting it to factory settings would work?

i tried to use the safestrap method and bricked my phone but samsmobile and odin saved my life again, but I know I can root the ota, but what really can we do with it? is it possible it install xposed or can we do anything with it other then getting rom toolbox??? im just curious and I don't want to go exploring and do more damage I was lucky I saved my phone this time.......
Hello again!
i flashed xposed successfully on stang5litre's oc1 5.0.1 lollipop rom. I don't know about stock though, i believe your rom has to be deodexed. :good:
Well now I got my phone working there is no way I can down grade or get a recovery and flash roms or get a dexoted rom or anything. ?? I only went back to Android from apple for the roms. Time for an upgrade already

To install stang5litre's rom you don't have to downgrade anything or install a custom recovery. All you have to do is install the app called FlashFire. google how to do it or on xda

Hi,
Kingroot dosent want you to root your phone uninstall kingroot, and use supersu
They are wanting to keep their
Super in control. They maynot
Allow you to use their app to reinstall. Not sure how they know but they will not allow me to use their apps.. they fail
To root on all three apps. . Ps they asked me to email them my error logs on the desk top version and they told me they cant root my phone for now . They will email me when it works...??????...

ugh. so frustrated! I got the edge Friday and rooted it using autoroot with no problems. I tried Saturday to install a custom ROM and got stuck in a boot loop. Finally flashed new firmware via Odin late Saturday night and was able to get it to boot. Since then I can't get root back. Every time I do, I get stuck in a bootloop. I get to the sprint spark screen and it reboots. I have followed the instructions step by step for root including the updated superuser. After I run autoroot via Odin, it restarts but then I boot into recovery, install superuser and reboot and it goes into the loop. I have to reflash the firmware via Odin to get out of it. I used N915PVPU4COG1_N915PSPT4COG1_SPR from the samsung firware website. My phone info is:
version - 5.1.1
Kernel - 3.10.40-5227917
Build, software and baseband are all - LMY47X.N915PVPU4COG1
I'm stumped. I can usually figure this out by myself and since I got my first Android years ago I've been able to eventually get things to work. I've tried superuser 2.16 and 2.46 with the same results.
The only thing I haven't done is try CWM and that's just because I KNOW TWRP works because I got it to work Friday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../root-supported-kernel-5-1-1-testers-t3176651
I don't believe cf-autoroot is working on 5.1.1. Also since you took the 5.1.1 update you won't be able roll back to a different firmware. Just sit tight and wait for root to become available for 5.1.1.
The thread i linked to is for a root supported kernel. It isn't available yet but hopefully will be available soon.
Version 5.1.1. isn't able to be rooted yet. You just got the edge and it of course came with that ROM. Every one who had 5.0.1 was able to root (I'm still rooted because I didn't update), but there were ones that took the update and assumed that they could root like before. But that's not the case. Samsung did stuff to the new version to stop the old ways of rooting. There are a few that are trying to get root, but it's been a process since the update came out, and there isn't any word on success. And the new ROM doesn't allow you to go to an older version. Just like ones that updated to Lollipop from KitKat, they can't go back to KitKat, and anyone who has this new version can't root or go anywhere but wait and hope. It's not just you.

Have tried Kingroot now a few times on the Sprint Note 4 Edge, and isn't working.
I'm with the guy above as I've tried it for myself.
You should chime in and tell us a little about it.

I got an OTA notification this morning to install G900TUVS1FOL1. Went ahead an applied the OTA update and everything seems to be running much better than before. A lot of the lag that I was seeing before is now gone. No word on battery life as I only had the update installed for about 12 hours. Figured I would let people know that there is a new update available. Haven't seen much information posted about it.
I am unrooted BTW, so I can't really answer any questions about that.

I've had no lag or any of the problems that I normally run into on stock roms.
I'm rooted on stock 4.4.2. What's the best way to take this one (do I need to get up to a 5.0.x first, etc.), and preserve root?

hello have a galaxy s5 T-Mobile sm-g900t like that if it were possible postasse how he rootear your most detailed device if the model is the same as mine, have android 5.1.1 g900TUVS1FOL1 from already thank excuse my English'm from Brazil.
Hey gang!
I have the metropcs variant (G900t1) of the Galaxy s5. I downloaded the .tar file. I wiped my phone first (twice for good measure) and rebooted to download mode via TWRP. I *did* uncheck the auto reboot box because I hears odin acts funny around OTA's. After the reboot was done, my phone got stuck on he splash screen for a while. I popped out my battery.
for the record, not a noob but leery about regaining root using cf autoroot.
XDA, check me on this. I want to do this right. =)
I updated via Kies earlier this afternoon. So far it's very snappy.
