Hi all was hoping someone could help me, just got my Sprint S5 not too long ago I had an s3 before that I rooted but I was wondering the easiest way to root the s5 without tripping knox security and if in doing so will I also be able to access download booster....I'm really new to all this and when I rooted my s3 never flashed kernels or anything just used the quick root but I'm really interested in trying to learn as much as I can so if anyone can give me any advice it would be much appreciated and thank you in advance..and I picked the icon that most resembles my situation cause I'm a lil confused don't know what direction I'm going in lol....

As far as I know there is no way to root and not trip knox. Sprint version does not have download booster enabled so have to root in order to flash the mod to enable.

See the post HERE and also check the link at the bottom of the post for a list of available mods (incl. download booster)

Custom Rom and Download Booster for Sprint GS5

I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to get a fully functional Custom Rom for my Sprint GS5 and a download booster mod? Thank you.

Thank you for the info, but I did not see the download booster listed on the ROM info. As long as the camera, sms, data, and phone calls work I'm good. But, I would really like to have the download booster as well.

It's in the title DLBoost

    Shouldn't need to be. Just make sure you flash the older odexed version.

    I think try the 2.1 odexed stock version. Just keep in mind that flashing this mod can break things such as hotspot mod, etc. Might read through that thread to see what issues others have run into.
