Root [Verizon] So...

Comes out tomorrow and still no root guide yet??? Was hoping to root it first thing before loading anything else on it... :mad:
 
Has anyone with VZW rooted this thing, yet? I know it's early, but I'm considering s5's for the family and rooting is important to me. If not, I guess I can wait for the lg g3, but I tell you what... the battery on this thing is pretty stellar.

I heard this device was coming to Boost Mobile too :)

It is :) I'm so tempted to save up the money then drop it on a new boost mobile S5 (I'm still rocking the boost S2 rooted). Boost says they will have the S5 in may, I was hoping to see how this puppy handles root - someone will pop up with one or more examples here shortly..... ;) I hope

If root is important to you then id suggest skipping over that device as well. save up and get yourself a developer version of a verizon phone.
 
Rooting is important to me, Shabby, because I'm a tinkerer. At least I was with my Gnex. Now the Gnex is long in the tooth and doesn't seem to take KK too well. I love trying out different kernels. I love fast charge. Perhaps the present hardware and kernels are so good you don't need new kernels. I'm watching. BTW, I bought the family three s5's. They're on their way. Me? I'm waiting. Maybe the iPhablet or Note 4? :p
 
if the s4, note 3, and now s5 are any indication if you want root on verizon better look at a developer device. i know jcase is planning on dropping some exploits but no word yet on when it will happen and what devices will be rooted.

as it stands not much hope for future verizon devices.
 
S5 Prime is coming soon as well as S5 Active. LG G3 is coming very soon, and HTC One (M8) Prime is supposedly coming as well. The "Prime" models are rumored to feature QHD displays aka 4K. Also 3GB of RAM as well, that's more than what the S5 packs right now. Oh...and the 805 processor...so better everhthing.
