Samsung Galaxy S5 is quality, and grand Android smartphone, which comes with 5.1 inches Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display, powered by 2.5 GHz Quad-core processor along with 2 GB RAM and the device runs on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) operating system. If you own this smartphone and looking for a way to root it, you are in the right page as I have given a step by step tutorial to root Samsung Galaxy S5 here.
This procedure doesn’t require any PC or Laptop to root your device. So, just root your device without using a computer and get the ability to install custom ROM firmware, remove pre-installed applications, custom-built Android applications, Etc.
WARNING: Rooting your Samsung smartphone will void its warranty, and you won’t be able to claim it unless you unroot your smartphone. So, think well about it before proceeding with this rooting procedure.
Prerequisites:
Step 1: First, make sure that your device has at least 50-60% battery backup in it before getting started with the rooting procedure.
Step 2: Then, ensure that you have deactivated all antivirus applications in your smartphone as they tend to interrupt the rooting procedure.
Step 3: The rooting procedure given here is not a data-loss process, but it won’t hurt to have a backup of personal data in your smartphone. So, take a complete backup before getting started with the rooting process.
Step 4: Now, enable the USB Debugging Mode in your smartphone by following this path: Settings ->Developer Options -> USB Debugging. If you can’t see the developer options in your device Settings, then enable it by following this path: Settings -> About Phone (tap on the Build Number for 5-7 times to enable it).
Once you finish all these preliminary tasks, you can move forward with the rooting tutorial given below.

Once I click on make it rain, it tells me phone isn’t supported
If your phone isn’t supported, change modstrings by opening the towelroot application and tapping three times on the “Welcome to Towelroot v3” sign. This will open a white box under “Make it rain button” where you have to type the following code
Code 1. 1337 0 1 0 4 0
Pressed 3 times entered code still wont work.

How do I unroot my SGS5
Hi, We will add the tutorial shortly. Thanks!
I followed all directions, but in the end, the app reads, “make sure you’re connected to the internet.” The Samsung phone I have relies on wifi since it was no longer being used.
After downloading the root app, Towelroot, successfully, I pressed the “make it ra1n” button and the app tells me: “please ensure you are connected to the internet”. My mobile data is activated as I’m writing this comment and I’ve pressed the “ra1n” button 7 times already in this time. Still giving me the same message… Please advice me on what to do next? Thank you for your time.
