Need help ugrading from Rooted NI2-- it's been awhile - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So it's been awhile since my last upgrade/root/flash. I've been out of the loop for quite some time. I stopped after upgrading to NI2 and rooting with towelroot + safestrap. I need some help upgrading to the latest lollipop version w/root until we get M. If anyone could help, it would be very much appreciated!

AT&T S4 I337 (MDL) newb flashing questions

Months ago I flashed my phone (AT&T S4 I337 running MLD baseband) to stock 4.3 ROM (JWR66V). I have TWRP installed as a custom recovery and the phone is working fine. However, I don't have root access when the OS is running. No sure why.
Anyway, I'm bored and there are a few nagging bugs, so want to give Cyanogenmod a shot. My questions for you are.
1) can I just download the appropriate CM release and flash it?
2) Do I need to reroot? If so, whats the best method for me?
If its really risky, I'm not interested. But if it's a matter of just flashing the rom, I'd like to give it a try. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

[Q] Please help me flash an upgraded OS to my device

Hi all, I want to install a 4.4.4 ROM. I haven't been around the forums for a while (I've been satisfied with my rooted stock 4.2.2 MDL), but now I feel it is time to upgrade.
First off, the recovery I have right now is CWM 6.0.3.2 touch recovery. Is that OK? Or is it outdated? Does it have auto-loki?
Secondly, will I still be rooted after upgrading to 4.4.4? If not, is there a known root process?
Thanks to all! I really want to get back into the stock Android scene.

[Q] Advice on updating

I've been neglecting my phone for a while, so I decided I should update my rom. Currently I'm running an ls980 with an old beanstalk build with the zv8 ota being the last one I installed. I'm looking through the mahdi thread to flash to it, and I was wondering if anyone could guide me through the process. Do I need to flash a new modem since I'm running a 4.4 build? Also, at what point throughout the installation could I update to zvd or is it even compatible with mahdi? Last I remember was when zva came out and there was some issue with the bootloader it caused. Does that happen with zvd? I appreciate any help

Hello, I have a ATT s4 oc4 that is running 5.0.1 and is rooted. I know it's hard to find any custom roms because of the bootloader version, but am I able to download or make a deodexed stock 5.01 (or newer) rom and install it without any problems?
