i'm trying to root an sm-g900a (at&t) that i recently bought. it currently has stock/official 4.4.2 and NG3 baseband/build. towelroot doesn't work. i downloaded the NCE build from sammobile and tried to flash with Odin but that doesn't work either because apparently the bootloader is locked (SW REV CHECK FAIL: [ABOOT]FUSED 2 > BINARY 1)

sounds like this guy had some success, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/q-help-please-sm-g900a-t3041375
but he didn't share what he did.

i need to root this evil phone
