Hello Fandroid, this is a step by step tutorial to show Rooting and Unrooting of Samsung Galaxy S5 almost (some models are not supported) all variants  without a data loss and without harming your device unless you will do something wrong during following my instructions. Please note: This Rooting Method Can Trigger Knox and you wouldnt able to claim warranty from Samsung, so if you want your warranty intact stay away from this rooting guide thanks.  Dont use rooting to pirate applications and games, only use it for productive work. However rooting helps you to overclock  CPU speed  as well as many other things. But to keep it simple stay with the basics.

Other Variants

CF-Auto-Root is not yet available for all models, so kindly use the above files on exact variant otherwise you will end up in bricking your phone

After downloading CF-Auto-Root for your S5, extract it using winrar and you will get 3 files like a below picture, but you have to ignore two odin files because we have already installed odin in our system






STEP 1:

Now once you have installed a Samsung Kies and open it with your S5 connected with your computer,  it will automatically detect your phone and install all the necessary hardware of your phone in your computer. When you connect your phone with your pc it will look like a below picture in Samsung Kies.





After doing this step, make sure you have closed down a Samsung Kies as well as you have disconnected your phone from computer.


STEP 2:


After installing drivers through Samsung Kies  you have to open Odin. Now from a ODIN Folder you have to press a third file which is Odin3 (Run as Administrator and make sure your phone is disconnected from computer). After opening it you will see a window like below picture.





After opening this Odin file you have to turn off your Note 3 by pressing power on and off key on your S5 until its get completely off. Once it gets completely off PRESS (POWER ON AND OFF KEY + HOME BUTTON + VOLUME DOWN KEY AT THE SAME TIME). This will get you in to a downloading mode like a below picture in your phone.



After getting in to a downloading mode you have to press a UP VOLUME KEY ON YOUR PHONE and you will see a window like below picture on your phone 


Now when you see a above window connect your S5 with your pc through micro usb lead and you will see a below picture like window on your PC




Here you can witness that Odin (Id-com) section has become blue in above picture. Now you have to press PDA in Odin and you have to search for a file CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar.md5 (if you are on different variant than you will have something else instead of smn9005) which is in your downloaded CF-Auto folder.  Look at below picture to see how this file looks like




Now double tap on the file it will be added to Odin and press Start in Odin and leave your phone as it is. After starting a process you will see a window like below picture in your phone with downloading bar and then let process to go complete until your phone get restarted (make sure you dont touch your phone unless its restarted

                                           


In your PC you will see a picture like below in Odin



Green Box will be highlighted in Odin just above the blue box which illustrates that you have did all the things correct. After your phone restarted you will see Super User  in your mobile which means you have successfully rooted your phone :), like below picture 




Now you can transfer games to you External Sd card easily and as well as you can play them. If you dont know how to transfer games after rooting check out this Youtube Video made by me: 

                                                        
HOW TO UNROOT

If you have followed my steps to root your device, you must have all the drivers installed by now. If you have not did rooting by looking at the above tutorial, then just have a quick go at Rooting process (Step 1). To unroot  your S5  you need three things which are going to take little bit longer than rooting your phone.
