Rooting Galaxy S5 LTE-A G906K - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. Been a long time since I've rooted a phone. To be honest, I think the One-X was the last phone I rooted. Anyways, I'm having some trouble, well confused.
I'd like to root my phone, just root. No other ROMs or anything but cannot seem to find a thread to satisfies my phone.
I have a S5 LTE-A, G906K currently on Android 5.0.1 and running lrx22x.g906kktu1bog2 .
But I cannot seem to find anything that matches the lrx22x.g906kktu1bog2 or is this not required and I can just flash using ODIN?
If possible, could you post links thanks.

Rooted S5 on Kitkat, how to do factory reset on KitKat and reroot?

I have an ROOTED AT&T variant Galaxy S5 on Kitkat (4.4.2). Lately, the OS have been freezing up a lot. So I think, it might be best to do a reset/restore to factory default, while staying on KitKat (I would like to use Xposed still and I think it is still not fully working on lollipop). This is my first Android device, so I am unsure what can I do to reset/restore the OS to factory default and reroot it. Can someone give me some instructions?
Also, looking through the AT&T Galaxy S5 Android Development forum, I noticed there are a few custom roms for the AT&T Galaxy S5. Can someone suggest one that would not be as bloaty/freezes up as much as stock? I am looking at a few of the roms on that board and I don't know what to look for.

Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A (SM-G906l) Locked Bootloader

I own an Samsung S5 Prime (SM-G906L) running on Android 6.0.1. At its age, yes it still works quite fast(S805+3gb ram).
Is there any way to unlock its bootloader? I can't literally do anything with it. I was planning to root and install a custom rom.
may want to check these types of threads out, I dont own this device nor have i played with it, but maybe some good info can be found here for you
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-stable-smooth-deodex-t3388014
I tried rooting the phone using cf auto root, etc but I came across some info that in order to root and install a custom rom, bootloader should be unlocked. And the thing is, I can't find any way to unlock it. It's really frustrating.

Upgrading Galaxy S5 G900A (AT&T variant) to Lollipop.

Hi guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 AT&T variant running Android 4.4.2. I am not in the US, and I do not have an AT&T sim so I cannot upgrade it to Android 5 Lollipop over the air.
I have searched all over the internet and also on this forum, and I'm very confused because I've read some conflicting reports on the upgrade path for this device.
Some articles mention I need to upgrade to android 4.4.4 before I can upgrade to android 5. Others do not.
My bootloader is not rooted, nor do I want to root it. I mention this because I have read in multiple places the rooting the G900A is a huge pain in the ass, and also that once you upgrade, Lollipop's bootloader cannot be rooted.
I have attached a screenshot of the baseband, kernel and build information. I would be eternally grateful if you could help me with this upgrade.
Mir.
