Hi
If you install stock firmware you loose your root access
Expect custom rom

How about "root keeper" or using superuser to keep root?

I am currently on 4.4.4 and have done the Developer Edition bootloader unlock and rooted. Would like some advice on advantages or disadvantages of upgrading to 5.1.1.
I am on 4.4.4 as well. What guide did you follow to do the bootloader unlock/root? We're you able to do it on 4.4.4? I wasn't sure if I'd have to upgrade to 5.1.1 or not.

I have a root Verizon S5 running 5.0 stock. I would like to upgrade to the new 6.0.1 and keep root. I've tried searching with no real success. Can I upgrade to 6.0.1 and keep root?
fyi - I disabled OTA updates, I think I froze or renamed the process.
If I can't use the stock ROM and have root, is there a 6.0.1 ROM the collective would recommend?

Hi there.
I have the G900a but switched to t-mobile so I don't get ota updates.
Can anyone direct me to how I can get 6.0 or whatever the newest version possible from 5.1.1?
I Remeber using Odin just to get out of 4.4.4. Hoping for something similar.
Thanks
Bump
are you rooted? do you have TWRP installed? what baseband are you on?
you can but i highly recommend FULL WIPE!!!!!!
I'd really like Xposed, which means downgrading to Marshmallow. I just purchased the device and unfortunately it was Android 7.0 out of the box.
So can I downgrade to Marshmallow safely? Looks like I'd need to downgrade to "PE1".
What if I can't get to MM? What's the preferred route for root on Nougat? The "U" firmware?
Thanks all!

You'd need to downgrade to PL6 via Odin.
Root on marshmallow is a little unstable and I'm not sure it is worth the downgrade. What do you need root/ xposed for? Some modules put the phone in a boot loop because of the root method we have.

What root method are you using? I've been running a rooted MM s7 for about 8 months with very few issues (with occasional flashing of other firmwares in an attempt to root them). It's rock solid, and very few modules are incompatible, and that's due to the nature of our rom, not our root method. (Android N-Ify builds past v 0.2.0 for example).
