I read the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...w-to-update-to-g900voc4-5-0-keeproot-t3068546 and saw that there was a rooted lollypop ROM that I need to download and install via safestrap. The link was dead. Where can I find the ROM?
Sorry if this has been asked before but I want to upgrade to lollypop from KitKat and the thread was closed.

... to the latest MF9 which is flashing every so often on the phone.
I'm assuming I download and fastboot the latest firmware (which I can not find), which wipes it clean, re-install TWRP and then what for root?
This is an L720, 4.2.2.

Hello! I have the Verizon Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V model). Would it be possible to install 4.4.2 firmware and than root it?

Of course. Follow this guide starting in the notes #4. You can then upgrade to your desired firmware and keep root.

So, do this in this order?
1.) Flash via ODIN according to notes #4?
2.) Than follow the guide?
3.) Than I could flash 4.4.2 or whatever firmware via ODIN?

What firmware do you want to end up on? Lollipop or kitkat?
Flash the NCG file using odin. Root with towel root. Download supersu from playstore. Update it's binaries, then reboot your phone. Install busy box from playstore. Open it and install it. I would install safestrap. You are officially rooted and have a custom recovery. You will be on 4.4.2. You can now boot into recovery and install a custom rom. If it is something other than 4.4.2 you will boot into download mode through safestrap and in odin, flash the correct kernel for that rom (follow the roms op instructions.). You could also use flash fire instead of odin.

It's in the link I gave you. Click on it and it will take you to a download site. Hit begin download and then choose a mirror.
The only links I see you gave me are the link to the guide and the attached Safestrap. I do not see any such links for the NCG, sorry.

Thank you so very much for your help!
I apologize that I did not answer. I don't want to end up on neither of those firmwares. So which firmware? 4.4.2=Jelly Bean.
You can be on 4.4.2, 4.4.4, or 5.0
But is it possible to revert back to old Jelly Bean? 4.3 and up has KNOX where as Jelly Bean and earlier did not have KNOX.

4.3 was galaxy s4. I believe galaxy s5 started at 4.4.2
1.) How do I return to stock?
And 2.) Where could I download the NI2 Stock Kernel for S5 SM-G900V it is one of the steps on another site to root. This NI2 download link returns a 404 error. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712472866

NI2 is 4.4.4. Regardless, you need to go to NCG, 4.4.2 to get root. Odin the full stock NCG tar. Root with towelroot. Then download SuperSU from play store. Update the binaries and reboot. Download busybox from play store, then install. Install safestrap.

Thank you so much!!!!
So flash the full NCG in Odin and not NI2?

The NGC tar file is a little different. Other than that, they left out some of the details.

Hello, Sorry if this has been asked before.
I am currently on android 4.4.2 rooted and would like to update to 4.4.4 and keep root.
Can any one suggest me a proper way to do this update ?
Thanks
There is a thread on this in this forum. You have to flash the NB1 kernel I think it is, root, then flash back to the kernel you're on.
