Hi. I recently manually (Odin) updated to 5.0.0 or version G900VVRU1B0A8. I s it possible to root while on that version? I see this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
But it's talking about bootloader versions different than mine.
Any help is appreciated.
The link is talking about a method where bootloader downgrade is no longer an option.
In your case, you would need to odin back to NCG, root it (using Towel root), install FlashFire. Then following instruction on below:

Hello,
I'm trying to help a friend who has an S4. She just wants it rooted and debloated...not sure if there is an Odin tar for that specifically, but if there is I'd appreciate a link.
This phone was a warranty replacement and came with the 4.4.2 NC1 base.
I've looked over some instructions here and I just wanted to be sure I do this correctly.
Specifically under the "NC1 ROOTED WITH SAFESTRAP" instructions it says I should Odin back to NB1, then apply a zip to get it to Stock NC1...Since this phone is already at Stock NC1 are the first 2 steps even necessary? Unless I'm missing something why could I not just go direct to Step 3 "ROOT AND INSTALL RECOVERY"?
Thanks in advance. As I said this isn't my phone and while I have decent experience from flashing my i897 (Cappy) and i717 (Note 1) I haven't played with Safestrap at all.
Regards.
EDIT: Is this what I'm looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52167774#post52167774 ?? Is NC1 the latest OTA release or should I be looking for a root NI1 method?
EDIT 2: Or is the easiest path here where I have her take the OTA to NI1 and proceed from there? I'm assuming NI1 is the latest firmware, so she would want that all thing being equal? Thanks again
Just root with towelroot. Go to towelroot.com and download the latest apk.
Used muniz_ri's process to upgrade to 5.0 root via flashfire, then successfully mod twi5ted lollipop v7 (Thanks to both!!) If/when I want to go back to stock rooted 5.0 can I simply follow muniz_ri's process again with no issues? Thanks!
I have a S5 with the new Marshmallow update via the Telus network in Canada. I had root for the Lollipop but took it out so I could update without problems. Lo and behold the Marshmallow update went in without a hitch but when I tried to flash TWRP with ODIN it didn't work. Am I missing something or does rooting the Marshmallow update require a new TWRP version? I used TWRP and SUPER SU last time to root Lollipop and al I did was put SUPER SU in a folder and flashed TWRP and then installed SUPER SU with TWRP and I was rooted. I just want the easiest step by step way to root my S5 again with the Marshmallow update. My provider is Telus from Canada.
Which model S5?
Unless MM locked your bootloader, TWRP 3.0.0.0 and SuperSU 2.71 beta are what I used to root MM
ODIN 3.10.7

SM-G900W8VLU1DPD3 Baseband Version Model #SM-G900W8 Build# MMB29M.G900W8VLU1DPD3 These are all the pertinent numbers. Do you have the steps needed to unlock and then ROOT. I'm not sure if the bootloader is locked. Hopefully you can help me get rooted again.

I wasn't thinking when I first read your post. If you"re looking for the MM Firmware I think I have what you are after. I got it from the S Mobile site, so if the guys don't mind me posting it with this reply here it is. I just tried to upload it and it's too big so if you have a way please tell me how and I'll get it to you. Even zipped it's like 1.2 GB.

I actually updated through Samsung Kies. And re-rooted. Though I haven't found an ASOP ROM that works with the MM bootloader
Sm-s975l is what i have and it's running on 4.2 jellybean can i 1. upgrade it to 5.0.1 lollipop 2.how do i do do and 3. Will the oneclickroot method from AndroidRoot work
1. Yes.
2. Go to about phone, there should be a software update section and you should have the update available for download.
Or do it with Odin.
3. Once you update to lollipop, you better use Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root rooting method.
this is stock 100% unmodified PH9 Full Firmware Flashable Odin Files. no root added.
refer to root method for that

so thank him for this as i don't have the device and he managed to grab this.
Thank you very much. This one is still rootable and unlockable. If not it wil allow you to downgrade to the PGC Firmware that is Rootable and Unlockable using GCPRO
