[Q] Need help downgrading/rooting

[Saturdaze]

First post here was recommended here for help rooting my first android. I have a galaxy s5 on 5.0 lolipop and I need help rooting cause most of these threads seem like a different language.

I was trying my hardest to downgrade but I think I need to download 4.4.2 cause If i remember correctly when i tried towelroot back when I was on 4.4.4 it didnt work.

Im just gonna list a bunch of random crap that might help you help me how to downgrade and root my phone lol..
Baseband version: G900VVRU1BOC4
Hardware version G900V.05
And yeah.. Im a retard so if you could help me out with links and stuff that would be great, Im on a windows computer as well..

Hello and welcome! Let's see if I can't help a little here...

First you should back things up as rooting methods from scratch will wipe all of your data/phone.
After that, there are two ways to research or go about rooting; either follow this guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784880
or if you are NOT feeling a comprehensive guide and want a more straightforward one you can do the following...
you can follow muniz_ri's instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-update-to-g900voe1-5-0-keeproot-t3149784/
specifically #4 in Notes in the first post (in addition, install a superuser app [supersu, superuser, etc.] from the play store). Afterward, you can go to the first link I showed you to put it to any version you want, or any of muniz_ri's update and keeproot threads or whatever ROM you might want to install.

Now you search the forums and read the stickies at the top. They're there for a reason, learn it. If this is too advanced for you, no one is writing step-by-step instructions specifically for you. You must learn for yourself, it's all been posted before.:good:
