Welcome to the forums. What root instructions are you using? Can you give the site name?

I think I found it. I am not sure what to suggest to do, as the program is automated. I would try a different procedure. GalaxyS5Root.com - Learn How to Root Galaxy S5 and Install Custom ROMs!

He does really good work, just find your proper device by either model number or carrier.

Take a look on youtube there are many videos on rooting, try Odin3 as find object! It can root without changing your OS ;-)

OK so after doing what I wanted, which was to use freedom, I have hencforth uninstalled freedom and unrooted my phone by uninstalling superSU however I now cantnot access google playstore. I have learned I have to reinstall freedom (which I have done) stop it while in the app then uninstall it however I need to reroot my phone to get into the freedom app and to reroot my phone I need superSU to get superSU I need google play and to get google play I have to stop and uninstall freedom. It is an endless cycle. can anyone help me get superSU without using google play that would really help
