Rooting your Samsung Galaxy S5 (and S5 Prime) or Galaxy Note 4 couldn’t be easier, thanks to Chainfire’s wonderfully simple root method, “CF-Auto-Root.” The tool provides users with the SuperSU binary and APK for root access under their pre-installed TouchWiz ROM.

Recent rumors have claimed that Samsung will be one of the first smartphone makers to bring Android L to its flagship devices following its public launch later this fall, and those claims have been bolstered by a new video that shows Google’s next-generation Android platform running on the Galaxy S5.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 is now officially supported by CyanogenMod 11. The tablet’s first nightly build is available for download now, bringing a taste of pure Android that’s completely free of Samsung’s own TouchWiz user interface.

Samsung today announced the commercial availability of the Galaxy Note 4 in Korea from September 26th at its ‘Galaxy Note 4 World Tour: Seoul’ event. The phablet was originally supposed to be available in Korea from October but the strong sales of the new iPhones led Samsung to push forward its release date. 

Samsung has gone ahead and silently unveiled the Galaxy Mega 2 in Thailand. Apparently, the handset was already on sale in Thailand for the last one month or so, but it was only today that Samsung updated its website to reflect its latest Galaxy offering.
