Galaxy s 5 Rooting FAQs and Troubleshooting

NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode & root your Galaxy s5 . Just redo the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still won't install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.
