Chainfire’s Galaxy S5 root method now works with US Cellular, T-Mobile and several other models

samsung galaxy s5 aa (1 of 36)

Even though the Samsung Galaxy S5 is just now touching down to retailers across the globe, the handset has actually had a root method in place for nearly a month thanks to the efforts of well-known developer Chainfire!

When we first reported on Chainfire’s root method, it only directly supported Galaxy S5 model SM-G900F. Fast-forwarding to today, Chainfire has now formally added a few other models to the support list: SM-900H (International Exynos), SM-G900M (Middle and South America), SM-G900R4 (US Cellular), SM-G900T (T-Mobile US), SM-G900T1 (Metro PCS) and SM-G900W8 (Canada).

So what’s involved here? Chainfire’s method is designed to be as beginner friendly as possible and utilizes the latest version of the CF-Auto-Root tool. Once downloaded, the tool can be flashed to your device using Samsung’s ODIN on your PC. The process works by temporarily modifying your device’s recovery, it then installs the SuperSU app and re-flashes your recovery back to stock form.

For more detailed instructions and to grab the proper files, you’ll want to head on over to the XDA developer forum. Has anyone already tried out Chainfire’s CF-Auto-Root method on any of the above-model Galaxy S5 devices? If so, let us know how it went.

Samsung Galaxy S5 up for pre-order from AT&T starting tomorrow, US Cellular also confirms its plans

AT&T is getting ready to open up pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S5, starting tomorrow. The handset will set consumers back $199 on-contract or $649 outright. For those interested in spreading out the cost via AT&T Next, you also have the option of paying $25 a month via Next 12 or $32.50 through Next 18.

You can pre-order the device both online or in store, with AT&T promising to ship the device sometime in early April — though no exact date has been specified just yet.

As for what the GS5 brings to the table? The Galaxy S5 is powered by a 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 CPU with an Adreno 330 GPU and 2GB of RAM. Other specs include 16GB storage, microSD, a 16MP rear camera with ISOCELL technology, 2.1MP front cam, a 2800 mAh battery, and plenty of new features like a fingerprint scanner.

Be sure to check out some of our great video coverage below for more details on what to expect from the handset:

For those interested in getting a wearable device to coincide with your GS5 purchase, AT&T is offering $50 off the Gear 2 or Gear 2 Neo when you buy a Galaxy S5 from AT&T, though the promotion ends June 5th. This brings the pricing down to $250 and $150, respectively.

Anyone planning on pre-ordering through AT&T or another carrier for that matter? Conversely, do you have your heart set on another major Android flagship instead, such as the Sony Xperia Z2 or the all-new HTC One?

Update: Following on the heels of the AT&T announcement, U.S. Cellular also has confirmed the handset will be priced at $199 with contract on their network, after instant rebate. U.S. Cellular will carry the Galaxy S5 in two colors and will include a code that’s good for $50 worth of Google Play purchases. The handset will arrive April 11th, both in stores and online.
