I have the att i337 (galaxy s4) that i have rooted and have safestrap 3.72 installed on. I followed the directions http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/guide-odin-to-stock-updating-rooting-t2926642 for the installation.
recently i saw that android 5.0 was released for this phone. I currently am as 4.4.4
what's the best way for me to update the phone. I've tried ota, but it failed.
can i just remove the safestrap software and do the update then? I really don't want to lose my information on the phone again
You could follow the keep root guide in general section.. Try to keep questions in the correct thread thanks and good luck..

we'll see what happens from here.

Hi,
I've rooted 4.3 MK2 and kept it so far without upgrading. I think the latest version is 4.4.2.
Is there a way to upgrade and keep root? I remembered some posts before but I can't find it any more.
Thanks

Recently, I unroot my GT-i9505 and flashed a stock Samsung 5.0.1 to my phone. Now I wanna root my device again and flash a Deodexed stock Samsung 4.4.2. I search through the internet and multiple forum. Every method I try, it fail. Most the time Odin will run until recovery.img then either stuck or fail.
The rom I'm using is lrx22c.i9505xxuhoa7. I tried to use CF-auto root, doesn't work. What you guys recommend me to do?
Search in S4 General. There are tutorials for rooting an Android 5.0.1 device. After that, install a recovery through Odin and flash away.
tell us if you ca do the downgrade, because i want to do the upgrade now, but i don´t now if i will satisfied with lollipop, thanks!
I search for numerous post and thread on internet already. Pretty much none is working.
Here's some method I tried and doesn't work. Also, I can't even install TWRP recovery.

I'm not sure I'm missing something. When I flash, do I really have to wipe data and re-partition?
I can't answer that. I never installed Touchwiz 5.0.1 on my device and went straight from my Black Edition ROM to Danvdh's GPE ROM.
Hi I am on antaresone Rom 5.1.1 and I want to sim unlock if is possible (free ) or any method also free
Thanks in advance
Not on a custom ROM. You'd need to restore your stock ROM through Odin first, then follow the instructions in the S4 unlocking thread in General. Just make sure to read the last few pages, because people seem to keep missing the little detail of downgrading the modem before trying it.
Re
What version 5.0 Kitkat 4.3, 4.2.2
Read the thread I mentioned. The answers are in there, with a little digging.
Hi, I need some help with the towelroot method for rooting a AT&T Galaxy S5. I'm currently on Android Version 5.0. When I ran the v3 Towelroot I clicked on "make it rain" and then it said "Device not supported". I tried using the modstrings but they didn't work either and kept saying the same thing. I'm new to the whole rooting thing, I just need some help from experienced on how to fix this. Thanks for the help.
Towelroot does not work on 5.0 Lollipop, only 4.4.2
The ATT version of the GS5 has a locked & encrypted bootloader, so rooting is not possible with lollipop at this time. I'm not even sure if you can install safestrap on the ATT GS5 running 5.0.
visit the ATT GS5 development forum to get the latest info on your option.
Hi. I have a couple of questions on rooting my Note 4.
I'm running unrooted stock 5.1.1 on my SaskTel (Canadian) 910W8.
What are my steps to rooting my device currently? I see a lot of talk about using Odin to put the Bell firmware on, installing TWRP through Odin, installing SuperSU and installing a custom kernel but those instructions seem to imply I'm not currently on 5.1.1 or I'm already running a rooted 5.0.1 or earlier device.
Is there no easy chainfire type of method?
I just basically want to run stock rooted 5.1.1 on my device.
Thanks.
