Thanks to Geohot, that kid who first jailbroke an iPhone a long time ago, we have a root method for the Samsung Galaxy S5. After his long history of working in the jailbreaking community for iOS, he decided a few days ago to release an app that can allow you to gain root access on a ton of Android Kitkat devices, the most impressive of which being the Galaxy S5 for AT&T and Verizon (since we had issues with this before this new tool). In this video, I'll show you how to install the TowelRoot app (as he calls it) and what else to do once you have root to protect the device by managing what apps can use this new found root access.
