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

Hi.
Question, is there a way to root 5.0 (stock) without tripping knox?
Tried to search\google it, nothing came up.
It's very important to me not to set off knox I still have warranty.
please help :fingers-crossed:
Device model SM-G900F
Nope not really
There was some info about downgrading to KK and rooting with towelroot, then using Mobile ODIN Pro to inject root into a stock Lollipop ROM and upgrade that way, never got that working myself though
No way to directly root stock Android 5 on the Galaxy s5 without tripping knox. However, you can downgrade to a stock 4.4. ROM and then use Towelroot. Afterwards you flash Alexandr's prerooted Lollipop ROM. There are guides everywhere, you could use this one for example https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys5/comments/2ubsbs/guide_rooted_android_50_for_the_international/

Can I just downgrade to 4.4, root it and leave it like that without upgrade it back to 5.0?
Yes, you can. No one is forcing you to use Lollipop. I find this thread very useful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-triggering-knox-2nd-method-t2843044
If you just want to use towelroot on 4.4. follow the root instructions and do not flash the Lollipop firmware afterwards.
Hey guys I'm looking for help to root my s5 modle number SG-M900W8, running 5.1.1 but I'm having no luck I ran cr auto root an it but me in a bootloop an kingroot has no support for 5.1.1 yet Is there any way to root as of now? I heard you must flash a custom kernal to be able to root the s5 on 5.1.1 but as far as I know you must be rooted in order to flash a kernal! Thanks for the help I hope I can get this rooted been a very long time since I had a rooted device
