Bootloader is separate from the ROM. So no, you won't lose root.

The I9505 doesn`t have a locked bootloader, it is fully rootable if that is what you mean. Only some US carriers have the bootloader locked down.

Not sure, I don't think it should.
No, just rooting will not prevent you from getting OTA updates, just don't change the bootloader. However when and if you get an OTA update, it might remove the root.
So I have rooted and flashed twrp recovery. Does this change my bootloader?

You will need to flash the stock firmware file to go back to stock.
But I'm still on stock firmware, I just rooted and flashed twrp, I haven't flashed any roms. Shouldn't I still be able to get the ota?
And with IO Root, which is the way i rooted my phone, doesn't it bypass the bootloader and leave it locked?

No you should not

I suggest you should download the latest firmware kdz file and flash via flashtool. You cannot update over the OTA. My friends have get hard brick their phones because they have rooted and flashed TWRP. Be careful,
Well on Sprint it worked fine. Can you link me to the file? And is getting back to stock the same?
The Sprint forum doesn't have a thread on returning to stock

Do you have any superuser app installed? Make sure that root checker is not blacklisted.

You are on 4.4.2 or 4.3 or 4.2.2 ??
On 4.4.2 cf auto root might not work
Install philz touch recovery. It has an option to reroot/install su binary

I have not rooted my S5 yet and I updated to firmware NI2 and now I want to root it. How do I do this without tripping Knox?
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app
Use Towelroot method.
Will that work even though the kernel is from September?

No
Could I just flash an old kernel, root, then flash back to the NI2 kernel?

Sorry, I'm new to Odin, but can I just flash the boot.img or do I have to convert it to a .tar.md5? And also, will converting it give it a different signature meaning it will trip Knox?
