hi Max,
wonderful and informative i love your work, have been following from the days of galaxy S2, Max i have a S5 with the model number SM-G900H, with Exonys Processor, could you please guide me in rooting it, as i have read at various forums that this particular model is throwing up difficulties in rooting.
thanks a lot
Use this one here:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS5/CWM/Exynos/g900h-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.7.tar
And use CWM root method!
Hi, thank you. How root one S5 Dual sim? 900FD ?
After extract couldn’t find tar file it’s show Img file in pc ????
Dnt get tar file after extract it’s convert into I’m file what should I do?
hello! i have a samsung s5 sm g900h, and i really want to root it.. i hope you can help me..please.. thank you so much!!!
here it starts, the s5 cp shows that it was made from Vietnam, but then as i turned off the phone and hold vol up + home + power button Chinese characters went out then i tried to hold volume down + home + power button and what i get are three options, recovery mode/fastboot mode/normal mode
as i chose recovery mode and clicked the power button to look for more options, there are options that follows which are:
reboot system now
apply update from ADB/sdcard/cache(these three are separated but the same word “apply update”)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
backup user data
and restore user data
that’s all, i can’t find the downloading process on phone :/ as what you showed on the video
i really like to root my phone . thank you soo much for help
oops sorry for the wrong info i’ve mentioned before:
correction:
as i hold vol up + home + power button the options went out
as i hold vol down + home + power button the Chinese characters showed up.
Oh man, you have a fake S5, see http://highonandroid.com/android-smartphone-news/how-to-spot-fake-galaxy-note-4/
Anytime you see chinese letters, that’s usually sign of fake phone.
Hello Max,
I have been having problems replacing the boot files of boot animations, the animation even works when I turn off the S5, but when I turn on, the animation I put does not work, and the original animation of the custom ROM appears (in this case, I’m using the Alliance).
What do I to make the animations work correctly?
Since now, thank u very much!

Hey – I followed VERY SPECIFIC links into this site suggesting that you offered the means to root the S5 from Sprint. Yet no matter how many links I click on I am bought over and over into a circle never actually finding the specific set of downloads required to accomplish this.
Help?
It could be the server was having hiccups, try now.
hi max why Philz Touch CWM Recovery dont work for the sprint 900P , can you help me please thank you
i try to install the file and is not working my phone have the stock recovery
Make sure you read the FAQ at bottom of post on root page!
and odin said my phone pass
i did but didnt fine my answer but thank you for answer me back
Here, this is what you should be reading on FAQ:
Q: I don’t get CWM Recovery, I just see stock recovery after flashing CWM with ODIN!!!
A: On some S5 models, there is a script that overwrites the recovery you flashed. If you get stock recovery, just simply flash recovery again using method 1, as soon as you see “PASS!”, pull the battery before your phone reboots.
i have a s5 sm-g900 and it doesn’t say anything and I want to root my s5 please help.
What’s the exact model number on the back of the phone? (take cover and battery off)
Hi .Im trying to install philz touch recovery on my SM-G900F. I did all setp by step as u mention but at the end recovery failed never gave pass msg. I tried couple of time .plz help me what should I do ?
Using this version? http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS5/CWM/Qualcomm/philz_touch_6.26.2-klte.tar.md5
Hi Max, I installed philz touch for SM-G901F using Odin with success but when i try to boot into recovery philz touch doesn’t show, it looks like a basic recovery. And i think that basic recovery won’t let me install SuperSU, says wrong footer!
Max, I have used your site and info for some years. But your move to put your files behind a captcha system has pissed me off enough to look elsewhere for the information I need. There isn’t and logical reason for it and after trying to get thru it 3-4 times and it telling me wrong answer when I am telling it the truth, I rest my case.
I really liked the way you explained things, but honestly, this is like one of your friend turning into a network marketer.
You can sign up for free account, it takes like 10 seconds and CAPTCHA will go away.
every time flash the philz recovery it says pass but i still have stock recovery. any help?
every time i flash the recovery it says pass but when i try to reboot my s5 900t into philz recovery its stilll on the stock recovery.
On some S5 models, there is a script that overwrites the recovery you flashed. If you get stock recovery, just simply flash recovery again using method 1, as soon as you see “PASS!”, pull the battery before your phone reboots.

I’d like to know how to actually use philz touch wiz on my galaxy s5. Let me explain, im running the moar rom and everything was on my sd card which my goofy ass formatted so I lost my rom but I have an otg and was able to go to philz touch wiz and backed everything up. My issue is something happened to my google account and now I cant get into any google apps, who can live without Gmail, inbox, the playstore and I do alot on google plus too plus all of my photos. So I got in contact with google whom told me I need to factory reset my phone. I’m alittle nervous now because my only back up is safely on my otg but I don’t wanna make any mistakes please someone help.
Albert,
So by OTG you mean you have backed up your ROM onto a flash drive? If so, you should be able to restore the backup from where ever it is you backed up to. A factory reset will not remove Philz unless you flash the stock Rom back onto the phone using Odin. So, theoretically as long as Philz Touch is still there and the backup is in Philz format the restore should work. If you loose Philz you can just re-flash it back and then restore.
i want to root my SM-G900H lolipop 5.0 . CWM recovery need anybody help me.sorry for my bad english ☺
What did I do? Well on my SM-G900T, I rooted and loaded a custom ROM and everything was cool. I then unrooted and loaded the Tmobile stock rom (which I saw the instructions on your site) and thats fine.. Now I want root it again and load another ROM and I cant… Philz touch wiz doesnt show up on the reboot (Vol UP-Home-Power) after rooting…Help pls
This is because when flashing the stock Rom you remove root. You will need to flash Philz Touch again and re-root the phone then you will be able to install Custom Roms again.

I own a Samsung galaxy s5 SM-G900P, I have flashed recoveries and ROMS many times on this device. All of a sudden, none of these recoveries apply when flashing with Odin.
I have s5 g900A went back to stock firmware from root and know I’m stuck in bootloader what can I do to fix this .if I flash the twisted lollipop 5.0.1 will this make the phone get past the bootloop
since lolipop 5.0.1 the knox and other feeatures within the 900a have been updated. you cannot roll back. if you do you will brick the phone. you cannot update past 5.0 i believe and it may be sooner than that. >;S

Hi, I own a Samsung Galaxy s5 G900P phone which is refurbished phone and it’s rooted and is installed with a custom ROM of G900H. I was unware of this fact when I had bought the phone but later when my Phone got into the boot loop, while trying to fix it I figured out that my phone has been rooted, several times, and adapted, it would seem, to run on the, “H”, model firmware. I did some google search and found the galaxys5root.com link and on this portal I got the link to TWRP recovery and I downloaded the same and flashed to my phone, my phone works fine now and is not getting into the bootloop anymore but somehow the wifi direct option has stopped working. Everytime when I try to launch / open the wifi direct option, I get a error message .i.e. “Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.” Can you please let me know how can I fix this issue.

hi,
I have galaxy s5 G900F 5.0(baseband G900FXXU1POEC). I flashed TWRP with Odin which completes successfully(followed all steps of Developer Option etc). After that when I restart my phone and try to load recovery mode , it shows ‘No Command Found’ and loads stock recovery and not TWRP.
Tried several times flashing the .tar file still the same. Also tried with Philz Touch recovery but still the same.
Can you help me were I am getting wrong ?

Hi
I’ve installed the CWM Recovery for my phone (g-900h) and the odin was worked and it turned green (as u said)
but when I go to recovery mode its just like before (CWM Recovery dosent install successfully !!! ) sry for my bad english and tnx to u for ur good website
Is it possible to install the CWM recovery on my SM-G900F in the recovery mode?
I think i accidently flashed a wrong kernel and now it is only starting in the recovery mode.
So I want to flash the normal kernel but then the error “footer is wrong.
I can´t use Odin because the normal mode do not start.
Hi I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 from Vodaphon in Australia and I have a problem with Bluetooth it does pair and when it connects it last maybe 5-10 seconds. After a lot of reading on xda I conclude that it is a problem with some code that Samsung has changed. My question is If I root the phone will it rectify the problem or not. If yes how do I go about doing it or can you point me in the right direction. (Oh the iPhone 5 connects and works like a Charm as well as my HTC HD2 that I rooted from xda that is running windows mobile).
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Michael
