[Q] [How To][SM-G900M] How to obtain root Android Lollipop - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently updated my Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900M) to the official android 5.0 lollipop firmware from Samsung. But after having done this, I lost my root permissions that I had attained while I had KitKat. Has anyone been able to re-obtain root permissions for the SM-G900M variant after having upgraded from KitKat to Lollipop?

Need to post questions in Q&A section

Yes I have been able, i just did the same process as in KitKat. i Just flashed through Odin the latest CF-Auto-Root file for the G900M, though it says it's for Android 4.4.2, it actually worked. Did this on Stock Lollipop BOA3 and BOB3.
Seeing you are from Veracruz :highfive: , hope you flashed Trinidad and Tobago ROM, just like me, since it's bloatware free. :good:

I SERIOUSLY wish that I would have known this. I flashed the Argentina ROM and it is FILLED with bloatware and my phone takes longer to boot because of it. It also gets hotter and I suspect that may be playing a major role in it. Thank you again! I will try this and let you know how it goes!

@gtuck1002 As mentioned by "xinfinityoO", Android 4.4.4 is not yet out for Galaxy note 3 global version like N9005 and N900.
but its available for N900P, Here is the Url for 4.4.4 firmware.
SAMSUNG OFFICIAL FIRMWARE LINK FOR SM-N900P
And you are not able to update because You have installed Custom recovery "twrp" so your knox counter might have been triggered to 0x1, and device status changed to "Custom". That's the reason your cellphone won't get updated.
So if you want to update to 4.4.4 then jus download the firmware and install through ODIN. But you will lose your root if you update to 4.4.4.
Thanks.
Hit THANKS button, If I helped You.

Hi many thanks for this can anyone mirror this as it can not be downloaded by none account holders.
I would expect this Poland 20D to be very similar if not the same as 20C that is being rolled out elsewhere in Europe.
pls anyone who flashed already can check if heads up are working correctly now
Sent from my Beastly G3!
After installing this update you can still update via OTA my G3?
If my phone is from the Orange company and has its own custom firmware device firmware I return to Orange when this without a problem?
Thank you
A partir de la instalación de esta actualización podrá seguir actualizando vía OTA mi G3 ?
Si mi teléfono es de la compañía Orange y tiene su propio custom firmware de operador podré volver al firmware de Orange cuando este sin mayor problema ?
Gracias

I mean is there an official 5.1.1 for Russia Region as we heard that Samsung already started to roll-out the 5.1.1 for Note 4 in Russia.
That's why I want to use the russian 5.0.1 stock rom so may be I get the 5.1.1 by OTA.

STOCK ROM

Hi XDA, I need help with my future Stock Rom. I have an Galaxy S4 I9500 which Im going to give away but its rom-customized, rooted and also has xposed framework. I live in Venezuela so I searched the firmwares trought Samobile but neither of the rom's worked because they are all branded and the one that I need (movistar) is from Android Jelly Bean. When I got this phone it had an unbranded stock rom without any bloatware from any Phone-line company, find that rom would be excellent but Android 5.0.1 from movistar could also works. Any help?

I have used Samobile and downloaded the firmware either for Argentina, Product Code: ARO, or Trinidad and Tobago, Product Code: TTT. They are open firmewares and work just fine and are more updated than the ones for Venezuela Movistar, Digitel or Movilnet. I use Digitel and have had no problem with these.
