Samsung’s 2014 flagship, the Galaxy S5, currently supports Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS. Though the South Korean tech giant hasn’t officially announced a roll out date, there are lots of rumors about Android 5.0 Lollipop hitting the flagship model on December.
If you’re looking to gain root access on your Android KitKat-run Galaxy S5, Chainfire, an XDA Recognized Developer and Senior Moderator has made that possible. His rooting method is one of the most widely adopted and sticks closely to the stock Android firmware. He posted a thread on the XDA forum showing us how to do it. We’ve tried to outline the procedures below.
Before rooting, keep these in mind
- Since this method allows you to gain root access on your device, a process that is neither supported nor endorsed by Samsung or Google, proceeding means that you understand the risks and will not hold The Bitbag accountable for anything that goes wrong. Moreover, rooting will invalidate your device’s warranty.
- Ensure that the Galaxy S5 is at least 50% charged and that you backup important data; you will also need a Windows computer for this method
- Enable USB debugging on your handset; navigate toSettings > About Phone > tap on the Build Number seven times then return to Settings > Development Settings > check the USB debugging option
