Root is there any root SM-G900A after july update

[caicom98]

I heard that towelroot is dead. Apparently my phone auto-updated the kernel and I am screwed now from rooting my phone. Any way to root Samsung S5 AT7T (SM-G900A) G900AUCU2ANG3?

Also has anyone able to do sim unlock? Sounds too good to be true to be able to sim-unlock from rooted phone.

Hi caicom98.

Hi caicom98.

Have you found the way to root?

Rooting depends on...

1. The model of Galaxy S5 you have.

and

2. The firmware, "Version", that is currently running on your phone.

See #1.2 and #1.8 of 41 Galaxy S5 models - Dummies Guide for how you can obtain these details.

Apologies JFB2003!

I had just answered 2 Verizon posts previously and forgot to change auto pilot to AT&T mode!

With firmware NG3 = July 2014 firmware, it is possible to root as per...
