Step 2 Prepare to Odin

Once we have the files ready, it should ensure that your computer detects the Samsung Galaxy S5. To do this we connect and we hope to have it recognized. If not, make sure the USB cable you are using is the original. If still not recognized, try the Samsung KIES program. However, before you start the process make sure the program is closed. 
 
Open Odin by double clicking the file. Exe and once opened, press "Reset". In the PDA box we add the first CF-Auto-Root file, which ends with the. Tar.md5.

Step 3 - Start the S5 mode downloadroot samsung galaxy s5 2

 

To turn the device into download mode have to press the button once Volume Down + Home + On / Off. We will get a screen as in the picture above, we have to accept press volume up. Once done, we just have to connect the Samsung Galaxy S5 to your computer via USB. The Odin program will recognize. Odin screen has to look like this:root s5

 

If everything is as seen in the picture, when you press the "Start" button has arrived. Once processing is completed, the Samsung Galaxy S5 will restart and the following screen appears:
