Probably for many of the owners of a high-end terminal like the Samsung Galaxy S5, the possibilities that open with root are many. Especially if we talk about advanced users. Although the complication in the Galaxy range we already know that it is quite considerable, and that precisely for this reason there are not as many tools that allow us to do it as with other brands, in this case we have good news. In fact, we know a tool that will allow you to root the Samsung Galaxy S5.
In this case, it is the Towelroot tool which allows you to root the Samsung Galaxy S5, and that has been developed by the well-known hacker Geohot. His name from the jailbreak world associated with Apple will probably sound familiar to you, and it is logical, because he was the developer of some of the utilities that allowed several of the previous versions of iPhone unlocking. But in this case, the hacker seems convinced to show us his capabilities in the Android world.
How to root Samsung Galaxy S5 with Towelroot
To root Samsung Galaxy S5 With this tool, which we show you step by step below, you will first need to download it. To do this, access the developer's page at this link, and let's start with the necessary steps to effectively achieve our goal. It should be noted that in this case, the tool has been developed as a simple APK which makes the process easier. And in addition, it is compatible with several terminals that we detail at the end of the post.

Step 3::

Step 5:
Once the Towelroot tool opens, you will see a button that says “make it ra1n,” which has a special meaning for iPhone users since it was used in the jailbreak world. Once you have pressed the now famous button, you will see how the tool reboots your terminal and if everything goes well you will have your Samsung Galaxy S5 completely rooted.
