It is nobody's responsibility to notify you when root is achieved on MM. It is YOUR responsibility to check back in the forums and do a little searching and reading to find out if root has been achieved on MM.

I've done it before. You can.
Was on MM, and downgraded to PB1, got root, unlocked bootloader, went back to MM and currently running Phoenix rom. It can be done.. Search the forums.. The info is there..

Hey I've just been browsing the forums and catching up on all the new stuff. Last time I was here there was no hope of a bootloader unlocked. I finally upgraded from kit Kat and unlocked mine. I want to try some MM Roms but I'm not sure how to get back to LP then?? Is there a way to get back and keep root? Or would I have to go back to completely stock pb1 and root and start over. Thanks

I just switched back to my GS5 because I broke my iPhone 6. I am currently running 5.0 Baseband G900VVRU2BOE1. I've been trying to Odin back to KItKat. I get a fail in Odin every time. Is there something going on with the bootloader that prevents downgrading?

It sounds to me like the aboot qfuse counter changed which would mean that there's no going back to any previous FW. It was only a matter of time before they did it since the VZW S4 lollipop update did that.
We won't know until we get ahold of either the update.zip or the odin tar. I have 2 VZW S5's and both refuse to tell me there's an update available even when I Odin back to a stock FW.
Nice. That's what I hated about Apple. You own the phone, yet, still can't do what you want with it. Well, thanks for checking it out.

It's most likely more of a Verizon thing than a Samsung thing. Although with the 5.1.1 S5 update on T-Mobile, the kernel prevents rooting and T-Mobile phones are on unlocked bootloaders which means they don't care if you root or install a custom rom so maybe it is becoming more of a Samsung thing now.

Want free advice, next time you see an update dont install it it will better if went to the xda forums for more info
As of now there is no way to downgrade. Someone already looked at the update zip. I guess it night be possible once the full OE1 tar is out..something about downgrading everything except the bootloader

the thing is, with Verizon, you can choose to not accept the upgrade a few times, but ultimately, it is forced on you...which is why I rooted my S5 the same week I bought it (to avoid unwanted 'upgrades')

Shouldn't that be as simple as downloading 4.4.4 firmware and flashing it with ODIN?
The only thing I can successfully flash my phone with it a stock .tar to BOD5 again after I get it suck at the half download screen.

If I OTA'd to BOG5, is it possible to root still?

Currently what firmware you are running right now? If you already OTA to OE1 or OG5 you CAN'T ROOT ANYMORE. SO DON'T DO IT.
I'm upset at this point. I just attempted to downgrade to 4.4.2 yesterday but that didn't work (obviously), so I'm stuck. Has ANYONE found anything leading to how to unlock the bootloader for us? I would do it myself but I don't know how. Any support is appreciated.

In the play store, download eMMC Brickbug Check. Your CID should start with 11 or 15. Sounds like if you unlocked the bootloader on PB1 and upgraded to PF4, you probably have 15.
So I just got an Asurion insurance replacement G900V, old one was rooted on 4.4
New one is PF4 6.0.1 and emmc starts with 11.
What can I do with it? can I root it at all?

Did you follow the instructions under "Prepare to Root?" If you did, you downgraded to PB1 (LL, Android 5.0). I followed the guide yesterday and got root, but I don't wanna unlock my bootloader to upgrade to PF4 kernal and bootloader. Last time I unlocked the bootloader, I lost my 4G. Otherwise, the guide by @jrkruse is really good ^_^ Just have the issue of not being able to run safestrap to do the last step (Flashing Knox Removal). Guess I'll just start from scratch and flash the PB1 retail image and try again.

i have a g900v with the pg2 update(android 6.0.1) and cid 11. i've read through the various guides to get root, which involves downgrading to pb1 and rooting that. once i get pb1 rooted, is there a way to upgrade back to mm(pd1, p4, pg2 or pj2) the latest pj2 update and keep root? or will i be stuck on pb1 if i want to keep root?

Tried to update to rooted MM from rooted 5.0 with dev bootloader. Long story short, I lost root and am now on PD1, with PD1 bootloader. I installed the NK2 kernel to try and re-root, but the phone just hangs on the Samsung screen. I have tried Odining back the whole OS to Nk2, and Odin keeps giving me a "FAIL" message.. The only OS that seems to flash without failing is PD1. Any thoughts? Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated. THank you in advance.
