5.0 G900V Root

[Exmix]

So, I have a Galaxy S5, obviously, it's through Verizon and is running 5.0 and it's a G900v, i've poked and proded around looking for ways to root, i've come up with Towelroot, but it doesn't support my device, and i've been told CF Auto Root, when I looked into that apparently my device, G900v, isn't supported with that either, so it is possible at all to root this at this point in time. I also apologize if I overlooked another thread asking this or for a way to do this but I did search around and those are the only 2 options I kept getting.

I believe you may be able to downgrade, towelroot, and flashfire up to lollipop, you might be stuck on lollipop though, check the verizon s5 section theres some threads there for it.

Yeah I figured there's no way without downgrading to 4.4.4. I may do that, i'll need to look around on how to do that.

The only issue with this is, my phone hasn't been rooted at all. So I can't use this one either. =\

Well you can sniff around in that sections, ots specific to g900v so you have an exponentially higher chance of finding your answer there.

Welp I did it! Got it rooted by downgrading to 4.4.4, flashing to NCG, Rooting with Towelroot, then Flasking to NK2. SO now just to find the right ROM to get back to Lollipop.

Incase you guys wanted to do it as well.

Is the link I followed. I in no way take credit, just sharing how I myself achieved ROOT.
