Can I get one of you rooting experts to pm me on rooting a Galaxy S5?
I've got some questions.

Thanks in advance.

Talked to Rick on the phone. It's less a rooting problem and more a carrier unlock problem.

They usually can be sim-unlocked fairly easily.

They still use Qualcomm chipsets, whose 'hacks' are well known...
