Root Can you Root s5 or s3 on verizon?

[Sapt780]

I was wondering if it was possible to root the s5 on Verizon running lollipop 5.0.1 or a s3 running 4.4.2

I could be wrong here but I think Samsung bootloaders are locked right down on version meaning I'm guessing they can be rooted but aren't able to install/flash any unsigned/custom firmware including custom recovery or roms.
This might have changed recently so I'm not 100%
(and it's not recommended to root a phone without a custom recovery).
I'd have a look in the s5 root forum to be sure

Do you have a PC

I have no idea how that's supposed to be helpful.

Root exists, the bootloader is still locked, normal custom recovery isn't happening yet. Safestrap recovery exists however.
