[Tutorial]Make any Gear s rootable (change your firmware)

Hello everyone. This is my first tutorial with Gear s so I hope it will help someone.
First of all
I am not responsible for any damage done to you device
I saw in this Tutorial thread: http://ift.tt/1RkNFAH, that some people have unsupported firmware versions and they can't root they'r device. It is not true. You can root your device, if you will follow this simple guide.
What do you need:
1) Gear S
2) Charging cradle with USB cable
3) PC running Windows (because windows is only OS I know XD)
4) Odin 3.09: http://ift.tt/2bvLkYh
5) supported firmware downloaded from here: http://ift.tt/2bvOlTo (it is just on you which one do you pick, but it must be supported in the root thread)
If you have everything downloaded you can proceed to the tutorial it self
Step by step firmware changing guide:
1) Unzip downloaded software
- you should end with one .MD5 file and one .dll file (I am not sure, if the .dll is needed)
1) Open Odin 3.09
open odin
- Here you have to Tick AP, click on AP and select your .MD5 file
add .MD5 file
-you should start to see something like this (wait until it says leave CS..
Wait
continue
3)Untick Auto reboot
Untick auto reboot
4) Enable USB-Debugging on Gear S
- Settings -> Gear Info -> USB Debugging
5) Put your gear S into download mode

Start and wait

Success

If you have an error
-repeat everything but with different firmware version
