Root Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A SM-G906K/L/S Marshmallow 6.0.1 using TWRP

by Selva Kumar A Leave a Comment

Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A model is exclusive to Korean regions. It has 3 GB of RAM, compare with 2 GB RAM in the regular S5 model. So, It can survive a lot compare with other variants like Neo, Sport.  Now a Days, New models come with the basic 3 GB RAM. So, it is not bad, that old device has the same amount. But, the problem is Bloatware and Old OS with poor RAM management. If we remove that Bloatware and Hibernate some apps, we can notice a smooth experience. If you are an Explorer, you can use a lot of Custom ROM; In my opinion, Lineage OS is best. You will receive regular patch updates and Guaranteed Major upgrades for some time. Other Custom ROMs are also great, But, It depend on single or some group of developers, that doesn’t give us hope for regular patch updates. Follow below guide to achieve root on your device. You can directly flash Custom ROM using TWRP.
