Android 5.0 (Lollipop) Bootloader and KitKat Compatibility
Everyone wants Lollipop, however it is worth considering some of the possible consequences of upgrading via OTA update.
Flashable zip of Android 5.0.2 'Soak Test' now available and boots with KitKat Bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-retail-brazil-lollipop-soak-test-t2998793
Downgrading to KitKat also possible even with Lollipop Bootloader.
Bootloader:
A new Bootloader (BL) will almost certainly be is included in the OTA update. It is also very likely no KitKat Kernel, stock or custom will be able to boot properly with the 5.0 BL. Perhaps the Kernel DEVs can find a workaround.
Root: (DONE)
It may take some time to gain root access on Lollipop as on other devices this has required a custom Kernel. A custom kernel itself may require kernel sources to be released - something that has taken weeks / months in the past.
Chainfire releases Android 5.0 Root for Moto G (2013) (All Models)
In addition; apps that use root access in KitKat, require further development to have functional root access in Lollipop.
Xposed Framework:
Developer has said he will wait for CyanogenMod based on Lollipop before properly starting development of an ART version of Xposed. CM12 may take a few weeks to release. Expect to do without Xposed for at least a month, probably longer since root is also required (see above.) Related: Alternatives to popular Xposed Modules
Custom Recovery:
This has not been an issue before, but it is always possible a new Bootloader could break compatibility with existing Custom Recoveries. Obviously, you would not be able to restore a CWM / TWRP backup without a functional custom recovery; but even then, it is unlikely you will [not] be able to boot your KitKat backup. CWM unaffected, TWRP not fully supported yet.
Custom ROMs:
This is another area that could be affected by a new Bootloader. It is unknown if existing custom ROMs will require new Kernels / system changes in order to work with the new BL - something that could take days, weeks or months. CyanogenMod 12 (Lollipop) for Moto G (Falcon) now available and does not appear to require a new BL.
Performance:
Currently the performance difference between KitKat and Lollipop is unknown. If the first release of Lollipop for Moto G has performance issues, you may be unable to revert back to stock KitKat.Possible solution:
Wait for a flashable zip [NOT OTA Update zip] of Stock Moto G Lollipop ROM - this would mean your Bootloader remains at it's current version and potentially allowing you to change 'back and forth' between Stock KitKat and Stock Lollipop. However, it is currently unknown if the newer BL is a requirement for Android 5.0 Kernels. Flashable zip of Android 5.0.2 'Soak Test' now available and boots with KitKat Bootloader.
That is what I thought, since something like that happened because of the upgrade from JB to KK. Taking all of this into account, I'm not sure to upgrade immediately when the OTA comes out, maybe I'll try to still alive waiting for reviews from someone who dares to OTA right then.
You can be pretty sure it'll bring a bootloader update too because of all the fundamental changes lollipop brings in almost all areas of the OS. Major relase, as was gingerbread -> ICS.
It's pretty safe to say that once you upgrade, it won't be easy to downgrade, if at all possible... Many changes are in the security area and everything is getting tightened up a lot... Loads of tempting things we'll get in this upgrade, yes, but we'll have to give up much of what we're used to (in terms of rooting/etc), at least for a little while. I'll also wait until the dust settles a bit and it's clearer on where we stand with the upgrade once it gets released.
nice info

Will you be able to wait when you see that little notification saying there's a new system update awaiting you?? I'll eat my nails until then!
Can i still get the OTA update even though my bootloader is unlocked and rooted? (Kitkat 4.4.4.)

Bootloader doesn't matter. Root doesn't matter. What does matter is the software on your phone that checks for OTA updates. As long as that is functioning; you will get the notification.
You can ignore the update notification and will not be forced to install it.

The only real thing you need to install the OTA is stock recovery, doesnt matter bootloader or root, only stock recovery to install the OTA! :good:

Also I am not using any roms or anything, just rooted it for Xposed.

And another real thing is pure/stock system. Which means no system apps were deleted or frizzed no mods were installed through custom recovery no custom kernels no luckyputcher stuff. And I think you have to delete xposed framework (manually via xposed installer).
And a lot of users think that it's enough just to flash back stock recovery and install ota. But then they are just wondering why is it can not install. So, untouched system block is mandatory for applying ota as well as stock recovery.
Root, unlocked bootloader and custom boot logo are things you could keep.
Is stock recovery and stock firmware same? If not how do i get stock recovery back?

I'd reccomend to you this: when the OTA comes up, restore stock 4.4.2 firmware, then OTA to 4.4.4 and then to 5.0... Or if you find a 4.4.4 firmware just flash it and then OTA to 5.0... But the best you could do is to install the Lollipop OTA in a fresh new installed system.

Almost always it is enough to flash only system img files without erasing userdara. It should rewrite system block so it becames stock

I rooted my S4 ATT SGH-I337 yesterday with Kingroot while already having Lollipop 5.0.1. I then downloaded Flashify & Flashed ClockworkMod Recovery. Restarted my phone to goto recovery and I got a yellow triangle saying this phone has software unauthorized by att.
What Custom Recovery can I use and where can I find the latest version? Will TWRP work and also I've heard of something called Philz?
Oh and does bootloader have anything to do with this because when I rooted my S3 I never even knew or heard of bootloader.
Thanks in Advance

You will not be able to use a custom recovery because your bootloader is locked with no means of unlocking it or downgrading to an unlocked one. You have 2 tools that you can use, currently in lollipop. One is flashfire beta. If you ever purchased mobile Odin, you will be upgraded to the paid version for free. The other is safestrap. Safestrap isn't updated for lollipop but there is a workaround. Since you rooted with Kingroot, I'd suggest getting flashfire beta and then use it to flash the rooted 0C3 zip found in the OP of this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-update-to-i337oc3-5-0-1-keeproot-t3075814
The reason is that Kingroot seems shady and installs other crapware. Also, if you try to update to 0C4, it will fail with the Kingroot rooted lollipop. It won't with Muniz' method. Well, at least I know it won't with the stock rooted one. I'm still unsure if the deodexed one will cause the update to fail.

My question is what is 0C3? and what is 0C4?
I have the paid version of Flashfire beta
The reason I want a custom recovery is so i can make a backup of my phone and then flash a rom preferably Cyanogen Mod if they have it yet. I hate this touchwiz. But I wanna make a backup like i was able to wish Clockwork mod. Is FlashFire capable of making a complete backup? I see the Backup option but have no clue which to choose and or what it is backing up??????

OC3 is the original Lollipop distribution for the AT&T I337. OC4 is the patch update which is assumed to have corrected the stagefright bug.
I don't have the phone, so I don't use flashfire, but I understand that you can do most everything with it that you can do with CWM or TWRP.
The bootloader is locked, and you will not be able to install a custom recovery. You will also not be able to install a custom kernel, so no AOSP based roms can be installed either. You're stuck with Touchwiz based roms. Period.
TWRP will work

No it won't. Only safestrap will work with the nc1 work around. Flashfire is great until you want to flash a rom with an aroma installer, then safestrap is the only option.
Can't upgrade to OC4
Hey, I have updated to Lollipop using Muniz's method back in April. You said that the udate should work with Muniz's installation. It is not working for me. Are you aware of this? I too have a locked bootloader, and am stuck with the Safestrap like many others.
Thanks,

Have you changed anything since the update? If you've unistalled or frozen any apps, or made any other change to the rom, the update will fail. It does work with the deodexed version of the rom also, that's what I updated with.
Custom Rom and Root..
So I just got my Note 4 and I'm thinking of installing a custom rom but since my banking app wont work on rooted devices I'm wondering can I install a custom TW rom and then Unroot?

How about you flash any custom rom you want and then use root cloak which hides the root from apps you define meaning your banking app can't see that you are rooted.
This way you can be rooted and use banking app. You will need to have xposed installed for this to work. Use Google to read up on root cloak.

Sadly this doesn't work with the Barclay's banking app, I've done a lot of searching to find a solution and nothing
There is a good reason not to use banking apps with root... I wouldn't risk doing that... Also to root and unroot or change the kernel every time is cumbersome

Long time lurker... here goes my first post, be gentle!
I bought my s5 and rooted it a long time ago but I haven't kept up it up to date. I'm still on 4.4.2 and I think it is finally time to try 5.0
Since I'm so out of date, I want to make sure I update my phone without bricking it or losing xposed framework.
My current device's system info:
Andriod Version: 4.4.2
Build: ANCG
Kernal: 3.4.0-964333
Bootloader: G900VVRU1ANCG
Rooted
Stock ROM
Safestrap NOT installed
Xposed framework installed with these modules:
Greenify
Xprivacy
Wanam Xposed
Downloads 2SD
With such an out of date phone, is it safe to just follow the instructions in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...w-to-update-to-g900voe1-5-0-keeproot-t3149784
Are there any known issues on Lollipop with xposed or any of the modules I use?
I think lollipop allows apps to access the SD card again, so I won't need the downloads 2SD module anymore, right?
I have read mixed reports of Xprivacy working on 5.0, if there is anyone using it on the Verizon S5, how's it working for you?
Thanks!

I'm ok with not being able to upgrade further. I stayed with 4.4.2 for a long time, I have no problem staying on bod5 for awhile.. Unless there are other good reasons why lollipop Itself is not worth upgrading to.

Xposed runs but it needs a special version (just do a google search for samsung xposed lollipop). Whenever I run greenify on xposed it causes bootloops for me, but I think it might work fine for some people. Wanam xposed has a special version for lollipop so make sure to switch to that.
I think lollipop allows apps to access the SD card again, so I won't need the downloads 2SD module anymore, right?
I don't think you need it, but when you install check to see if it works. You can always downgrade.
I have read mixed reports of Xprivacy working on 5.0, if there is anyone using it on the Verizon S5, how's it working for you?
It worked for me when I ran it a few months ago, but if the reports are mixed take my success with a grain of salt.

Thank you for actually answering my questions!!
I will attempt OG5 using a deodexed version so I can install the samsung lollipop xposed. Hope I don't screw it up :-/ I've rooted and played around with a few phones before with no problems, but the last time I messed with a phone was over a year ago so I'm pretty rusty.
cheers!
edit: To use the deodexed version of OG5, did you use the muniz_ri method with FireFlash and just replace the muniz_ri ROM with the deodexed ROM? Or did you follow the instructions in this thread? Or something completly different?
Btw I'm still on 4.4.2 NCG but I have installed SS
Since you are at NCG already I think you can start with rooted odex stock. You should flash muniz_ri rooted odex stock with flashfire, it ll full wipe for default also. After that you 100% can flash any G900V lollipop rom you want with flashfire or safestrap, I choosed FF for myself. I am not sure, maybe you can flash deodex right away, but after some lurked and questions I personally did as described in first sentence. Don't forget to do backup, samsung for example. I was in your position not so much time ago.
i second that lollipop is terrible. go to 4.4.4 and stay. look in page 2 or 3 of android development for ricks rom and flash that, its the best kitkat rom and it just work way better than 5.0
Guys,

When I open xmod and other root apps, its asking for root access and its granted. But those apps are asking me to root again.
Means those apps are acting like my phone is not rooted..
Not able to install viper in stock ROM.
May I know the best rooting method for our N910G?
I don't want to install custom ROM because I'm not getting more than 3 hrs SOT.
