OE1 root possible

Now that the OE1 tar is available, is it possible to root my S5 which is on the OE1 update currently?
Has anyone attempted to Root with KingRoot? Many devices are having luck with it on recent 5.0 releases: http://androidxda.com/download-kingroot-application
It said it isn't possible for king root.
Tried and it doesn't work.
Btw i hate this new comment thingy...
Just got a replacement S5 and tried rooting before doing anything else... This thing already has OE1 on it with lollipop 5.0.
Please tell me this turd isn't getting the hammer because I'm locked out...
Is there a root method for OE1?

Rooting Verizon Galaxy Note 3 SM-900V on OTA 5.0 Lollipop

So I haven't had any luck finding updates on rooting my phone after the OTA update to 5.0 Lollipop. Anyone aware of any new developments on this or am I just screwed?
For the moment, you're screwed. There's a possible vulnerability but nobody has found a working root method, yet that we know of.
Dang, thanks

help to root SG SM-N910L lollipop 5.1.1

help to root SG SM-N910L lollipop 5.1.1​
help
some help ..??
wanna know also
No root available for SM-N910L running 5.1.1. yet. Samsung has updated Android 5.1.1 with root block and the only way to get around it is to install custom kernel. There are available custom kernel for Note 4 but not the model SM-N910L. I will try to downgrade to 5.0.1. and see what happens... If you force it with root script not made for this model, you will be stuck in bootloop forever! aka soft brick....
5.1.1
All I have to say is NOTE 4 sucks with 5.1.1. We can't downgrade or root. worst than a bootloop
any solution to root 910L 5.1.1?

in other threads whenever someone was mentioning custom kernels for 910c/f/g they suggested talextop and suemax kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=429310591)
on the first post for those kernel i didn't read anywhere specifically that 910L would be supported.
some still suggested it in the posts though.
As I'm 5.1.1 also and just saw a massive 1197MB update available I can only assume it's the 6.0
As some with 910C said they succeded with rooting at the end of the above thread: is it worth trying the upgrade to later have better chances on root? Or has there any method been found for 910L 5.1.1 root?

[Q] SM G900V Verizon S5 upgrade to 6.0.1 and keep root

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?
