Hi guys sorry if this is a repost but i was getting mixed answers from other android devices.
I am going to update my s5 g900f from 4.4.2 Stock KK to 5.0 Stock LP. I currently have root access with Knox 0x0, and titanium backup v.7.1.2
I wanted to know is there anyway to restore backed up apps + plus data from Kitkat to Lollipop with Titanium backup without having FCs? If so could someone please explain how?
If not are there any other ways to do this? Thanks

Hi guys, I am on rooted Note 3 stock rom 4.3 with Knox disabled. Is it possible to update to 4.4.2 without losing all my data? If so would anyone mind pointing me in the right direction?
Thanks

Using odin to flash stock 4.4.2 should not wipe yout data believe it or not. However transfer you internal sd contents to your pc to be safe

Does anyone know if it possible to root the Rogers Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337m) that is running 4.4?
If so, please post below. Thanks.
I believe you can do it with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293800

I believe you can use chainfire's method cfauto root.... once you load a custom recovery you can use this rom which is pretty much stock (do a nand backup of your stock rom first, and do a seperate backup of your efs partition just incase) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2375180
So I just decided to go with it, and it rooted, and I did use CF-Auto-Root for it, so it worked.
Thanks for the help anyways guys!

First keep in mind that once you upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4.2 Kitkat you will not
be able to downgrade to 4.3 again.
Any existing nandroid 4.3 Jellybean backups you have will not be useable after
the upgrade.
The only things you might want to backup are your apps which came
from the Google Playstore.
Use an app like Titanium backup to backup your playstore apps if you wish.
Be sure to do a "Factory Data Reset" in your phone before Odin flashing the
official stock 4.4.2 Kitkat rom/firmware for best results.
Good luck!

Please be aware that N900/Exynos models now CAN reset their Knox flag and downgrade - it is not a very simple procedure but now it is possible! Read more here (and for people that want to talk about that procedure please do not post questions in the other development thread, just search for the thread specific for that kind of knox reset / downgrade, I think I have seen one started by one of the guys that have tested that on the N900):

The rest of the post is OK, I also consider Titanium Backup as a much better way to handle backups!
hello ...............
titanium backup pro working on lollipop????
for me its saying ur phone is not rooted even my phone is rooted running stock 5.0 LP
model - Samsung S4 i9506 LTE-A :crying:
Pro or Free, it shouldn't matter.
Now, I have titanium backup on my GPE 5.0.1 rom and it's working without any issues.
Are you sure you are rooted? Download an app from google play called rootchecker.

Hi guys,
I am currently using stock and rooted 4.4.2 firmware (international version) and I want to update my N9005 to official Lollipop, specifically this rom. Can I update it via Odin or do I have to get back to non-rooted stock 4.4.2 and then update to 5.0? Am I going to lose all my data with flashing this 5.0 rom?
Also, after updating, is it possible to root stock lollipop rom?
Thanks in advance guys!
Yes, sure you can flash that ROM in Odin, no need to go back to stock unrooted 4.4.2, doesn't matter if you are rooted or not currently, or even if you are using a custom ROM.
However I can't say whether upgrading will cause loss of data or not, I always wipe my phone before upgrading so I can't say that, sorry.
Yes, you can root Lollipop easily further.

If you're rooted you can install a custom recovery like TWRP and do a nandroid backup in Recovery. Then later you can Restore data. Note Custom Recovery will most likely trip Knox so if you are still on 0x0 Warranty bit (check in Download Mode screen) you should probably rely on Titanium Backup or similar to back up all your user apps and data to extSDCard.

Thanks guys, appreciate it! Can you please send me a link to the custom recovery which is by your opinion the best, I suppose TWRP? And also, if you can, send me a tutorial for rooting the lollipop. Thanks!

The Team Win project thread is in the Original Android Development forums - go here and read up on it before you try. Note the up to date versions are in the techerrata mirror link.
LP root guide - you will need to do a search - not something I've had to look for - it was JB when I rooted my phone.
At first try I've failed in Odin with flashing this rom, and I've tried to do it again and strangely it succeeded. Android L looks and feels great and very smooth, thanks guys for your help! Also, all of my data stayed where they were before flashing, so that's another plus for this flashing.
