Refurbished Galaxy S5 - $179 + Free Shipping

[BlurryEyed]

Great deal on a refurbished Galaxy S5 for $179 with free shipping via Ebay:

Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900V 16GB Verizon Android Smartphone (Refurbished) -- $179.99 + FS at eBay

Only thing I would worry about would be the battery - but luckily an S5 has a removable battery, so if battery life sucks, it's a cheap fix.

With a 97.7% out of 93,150 ratings - I'd say chances are in your favor he's a reputable seller.

On Android 4.4.2. So, capable of rooting still. The offer of Android 5.0.1 is a giveaway as this must be a custom ROM. It looks a good deal for anyone on the Verizon network or certain other North American ones.

I jumped on this deal yesterday and should be receiving my phone next week. Is there any way to remove root? My experience with rooting is that certain roms sacrifice important features so I'd rather revert to stock if possible (i am on Verizon).

Since the phone is the Verizon, G900V, model, this is no problem. It may not be rooted when it arrives, (although I suspect it is if it has not updated so far), and you can just download and flash the latest stock Verizon firmware, (linked below), and flash it via Odin by carefully following the instructions and video in the links of #1.11 of 41 Galaxy S5 models - Dummies Guide. This will unroot you and give you the latest Verizon firmware. See Verizon's new OE1 & OG5 updates prevent downgrading or rooting for the ramifications of this.
