Questions About Unlocked Bootloader And PF4 - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am on an unlocked bootloader and I'm also on pb1 and running cm13. Is there a way for me to upgrade my modern to pf4 with a flashable zip?
It seems like there is a way to upgrade my bootloader now as well from what I've pieced together information wise through reading the forums is that true am I reading into this correctly?

Bump for help.

Bump for help.

If you have these same questions for the awesome developers in this sub forum please speak up because it would seem that some still hold childish vendettas against me despite me being thanked plenty of times for helping people around here and being a long time member of this community.
Thanks to anyone who speaks up and answers these few questions. I just see a lot of people bricking their phones right now and not enough information out there so I'd like to perhaps help other people while helping myself as well by getting this information before moving forward with trying my hands at this.

SPH-L720 NG2 Flash/Unlock Nightmare-Experienced Fan of Site and Purchase Paid Apps
I haven't posted on here enough, so I got directed off a thread that would have been great. Somebody has to have a simple solution to this because it is such a popular model and I feel like an idiot for even having to ask after spending 15 hours reading, 5 hours watching Youtube videos, 10+ hours trying to Flash, an hour on the phone with Sprint (where I am not even a customer, but was, and they were very helpful, and on a Sprint SPH-L720 for build NG2 updated 7/14 (I already went through this over the summer with the L720T-which was my phone), where I have the MSL I cannot flash this freaking phone with the Pro-Version of all of Chainfire's, Joey Kims, TWRP, ClockworkMods', Mobile Odin, Jimmy's ROMS, ChainsDD SuperSU too, Titatanium backup. I have literally spent $70 on apps over the past two years with 4 successful roots, 2 unlocks....I cannot do this thing. Help!
Towelroot, which I believe is obsolete and incompatible mod stringwise, didn't even work for me and I am not green with Odin. My problem is that I switched to a Macbook Pro, have very little PC Access, abut when I did I still could get it on 3.07 or 3.09. I have a Note 4 with TMobile, but this is a birthday gift for my friend who has boost. I bought a donor phone for after the root, I think I can probably even get Sprint to get me an international unlock so I can do a domestic sim unlock...was a good customer for 5 years. The phone is completely clean and off contract. I actually manufacture reset it just now through RTN before trying again. My know has been disabled this entire time...the counter on boot loader hasn't gone up. The problem I see is that the recovery is write enabled and I am also having trouble getting Odin to register the phone. I have know disabled even so it won't trip, not that he or I care, but still....
1) This has become my last three days when I expected it to take 15 minutes after the prep I put in to to make sure I had write phone model, right donor, right MSL. Does anyone with an enormous amount of experience have a simple OTA apk for the NG2 root?
2) Does anyone know a comparable program on MAC OS to Odin.exe?
3) Does anyone know how to get the boot loader from freezing because of write enabled so the phone won't connect to Odin?
4) I JUST CAN'T GET THIS THING ROOTED AND IT IS SO STRAIGHTFORWARD. HELP!, AND yes I do feel like an idiot.
5) I know it can be flashed to Boost, but that is well secondary, because with all of the android apps I have, the MSL, and experience doing it shouldn't be an issue...but I thought this wasn't going to be either, nor would it consume 3 days of my life. If someone can baby step me through this or just give me a simple answer like it should be, I am willing to buy three of your apps that you think are cool to have...my phone isn't rooted now, but I don't mind adding them to my google account if they are in relation to a root/flash/binaries. I will also email you $10-$25 depending on the reaction time to this response...posting dumb questions to experts was a last resort for me. I am desperate at this point.

Can the moderator of this thread please help me or pass my longer questioned post to a developer in a Normal Thread. I never post, always just read, and buy the pro versions of all the apps. I am in a thread with two other junior members just started about an issue that began last summer now and my questions will never been seen by the time I need this. Even posting was a last resort and I feel dumb hat I cannot solve because I have done literally the same thing with three other similar phones, and identical phone on a different build, and it is a birthday present I have already dropped $280 on between apps, the S4, a Boost LTE Donor....I just cannot root and need a simple answer from someone with experience. Thank you.
Guys, have you ever had such problem as unsolicited Wi-Fi enable on this ROM? It happens with me several times a day.

Important!
Modem and the bootloader must be the same. If modem and bootloader are not the same, Wi-Fi will not work.
First: flash System from first post.
Second: flash modem and bootloader. Separately from the system, not simultaneously.

noobs want to root Note 4 n910cxxu1coi4 5.1.1 phones

My friend and I are noobs and want to root our Note 4 - n910cxxu1coi4 phones running 5.1.1. There has not been a custom kernel released (to our knowledge) and we wanted to know where there is documentation on what files we need, including version of ODIN to walk through the process.
We definitely need step by step instructions; some of the documentation we've come across leave steps out, or are pretty unclear. We've asked Max Lee of High on Android for assistance and he said we'd need to get a custom kernel, back up with TWRP and that he's not seen anyone root our model on 5.1.1 n910cxxu1coi4 yet. We surely cannot be the first.
All help appreciated!

Few questions on custom roms. (noob here)

hey guys, just want to start off saying that I love how helpful and informative everyone is on this site.
I've got a g900v that I newly rooted thanks to jrkrusem, I have installed the custom rom that he has on the tutorial through safestrap.
I figure i will ask before i continue and maybe brick my phone, I am slightly confused about the difference between bok3, bog5, boe1 etc.
I know Ive got a locked bootloader so no custom recovery but I would like to know which roms I can use. Basically I am looking for a little
clarification on this whole process if someone wouldn't mind enlightening me or even if there is a existing thread that I cannot find please leave a link. Thanks!

The last characters in the version designations are basically alphabetical, the order of which you can see here: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G900V
With BOE1 and up, the bootloader was locked which prevents a downgrade.
The custom recovery for our phone is SafeStrap: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/safestrap-5-0-lollipop-t3313800
