Sm-s975l is what i have and it's running on 4.2 jellybean can i 1. upgrade it to 5.0.1 lollipop 2.how do i do do and 3. Will the oneclickroot method from AndroidRoot work
1. Yes.
2. Go to about phone, there should be a software update section and you should have the update available for download.
Or do it with Odin.
3. Once you update to lollipop, you better use Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root rooting method.

Hi, I am new to rooting the android. I tried looking around but couldn't find a clear guide.
I am looking on how to update my verizon Galaxy Note 3 that's on version 4.3 MJ7 (Hyperdrive RLS4 rom, model N900V) while preserving the root. Or would I have to loose root for a while and then re-root? Ultimately I am looking to install the newest Hyperdrive rom, but I believe I would have to update the stock firmware first?
Would be great to get some tips on how to do this. Thanks!

Hello,
I'm trying to help a friend who has an S4. She just wants it rooted and debloated...not sure if there is an Odin tar for that specifically, but if there is I'd appreciate a link.
This phone was a warranty replacement and came with the 4.4.2 NC1 base.
I've looked over some instructions here and I just wanted to be sure I do this correctly.
Specifically under the "NC1 ROOTED WITH SAFESTRAP" instructions it says I should Odin back to NB1, then apply a zip to get it to Stock NC1...Since this phone is already at Stock NC1 are the first 2 steps even necessary? Unless I'm missing something why could I not just go direct to Step 3 "ROOT AND INSTALL RECOVERY"?
Thanks in advance. As I said this isn't my phone and while I have decent experience from flashing my i897 (Cappy) and i717 (Note 1) I haven't played with Safestrap at all.
Regards.
EDIT: Is this what I'm looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52167774#post52167774 ?? Is NC1 the latest OTA release or should I be looking for a root NI1 method?
EDIT 2: Or is the easiest path here where I have her take the OTA to NI1 and proceed from there? I'm assuming NI1 is the latest firmware, so she would want that all thing being equal? Thanks again
Just root with towelroot. Go to towelroot.com and download the latest apk.
Used muniz_ri's process to upgrade to 5.0 root via flashfire, then successfully mod twi5ted lollipop v7 (Thanks to both!!) If/when I want to go back to stock rooted 5.0 can I simply follow muniz_ri's process again with no issues? Thanks!
Hi. I have a couple of questions on rooting my Note 4.
I'm running unrooted stock 5.1.1 on my SaskTel (Canadian) 910W8.
What are my steps to rooting my device currently? I see a lot of talk about using Odin to put the Bell firmware on, installing TWRP through Odin, installing SuperSU and installing a custom kernel but those instructions seem to imply I'm not currently on 5.1.1 or I'm already running a rooted 5.0.1 or earlier device.
Is there no easy chainfire type of method?
I just basically want to run stock rooted 5.1.1 on my device.
Thanks.
Hi. I recently manually (Odin) updated to 5.0.0 or version G900VVRU1B0A8. I s it possible to root while on that version? I see this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
But it's talking about bootloader versions different than mine.
Any help is appreciated.
The link is talking about a method where bootloader downgrade is no longer an option.
In your case, you would need to odin back to NCG, root it (using Towel root), install FlashFire. Then following instruction on below:
