Galaxy s5 sm-g900v lollipop

[Krippshot]

Hello, I'm new to forums and am new to rooting. I've tried a few methods to root my device but can't get anything to work. I'll list my phones specs below, hopefully you guys can tell me what to do. I really only need to root for wifi tethering because FoxFi quit working on my phone for some reason. It keeps saying that unfortunately foxfi has stopped. It's stupid. I'd also like to get rid of some of the stupid apps that come with the phone and take up space.

Thanks in advance.

Model Number: SM-G900V

Android Version: 5.0

Kernel: 3.4.0

Build Number: LRX21T.G900VVRU2BOG5

You're out of luck. The BOG5 build you are on cannot be rooted.

I kept researching and heard that kingroot could still root my phone.

Kingroot could never root the Verizon s5

If I was to factory reset that would get rid of lollipop right?

No, factory reset is just clear all cache, user install apps, system settings and return them back to factory settings. Lollipop is the Operating system, you can't get rid of the O/S.

Here is a solution i used to root my SM-G900V a few days ago:

- downgrade your lollipop 5... to kit kat 4.4.2 using Odin 3.09
- download towelroot v3. And use it to root
- use rootchecker from playstore to verify
-download 'SuperSu' to secure control of your phone

It should work for u.

No, if you are already running with OTA OG5, you can't downgrade. Only ppl with OD5 bootloader and OG5 rom can downgrade.

can anyone confirm if it is possible to downgrade the G900V now?
