Hey guys
new to this rooting stuff. I have successfully rooted my S4 to android 4.4.4 Google Play Edition and now that 5.0 is out
Is there a method out somewhere I can check out to update to 5.0 without loosing files and settings and root access?
I can only find cyanogenmod updating info
Are there specific files I need etc or my phone ?

Hi all, just acquired a 900T on 4.4.2 UVU1CNK2. Planning on installing CM13 but first a few questions:
1) Should I OTA update before rooting and installing CM to update the baseband version?
2) If not - what is the easiest way to root on this version? (I've read about towelroot, through odin, etc - just wondering what is the most up to date way)
Thanks!
If you want to install CM13, I think you have to fully upgrade your device to 5.1.1 to get the new modem and boot loader.
I have a root Verizon S5 running 5.0 stock. I would like to upgrade to the new 6.0.1 and keep root. I've tried searching with no real success. Can I upgrade to 6.0.1 and keep root?
fyi - I disabled OTA updates, I think I froze or renamed the process.
If I can't use the stock ROM and have root, is there a 6.0.1 ROM the collective would recommend?
