Hi All,
I have a Verizon GS5 (SM-G900V) and removed the sim card to use as wireless only. I did a factory reset and wiped everything. I set it up without the sim and want to root it, and then install Touchwiz-AOSP rom (I think). I can't root it and need help.
Any ideas are apprecciated.

Thanks .....Tom

... for a rooting exploit on the Galaxy S5 carrier minority variant for Verizon, SM-G900V, running Android Lollipop. After Lollipop, Verizon locked down their bootloader to prevent rooting. You will have to install Lollipop to root.

Thanks ironass, you've been a big help to me in the past, glad to see you're still here. Now I just have to find Lollipop Rom to downgrade from marshmallow.
