Rooting Verizon Galaxy S5 - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey so I upgraded accidentally a while back and it un-rooted my phone.
This is the version I'm on now, am I SOL?
Android Version: 6.0.1
Baseband: G900VVRU2DPG2
Kernel: 3.4.0
Build: MMB29M.G900VVRU2DPG2
I've done some basic research but haven't found anything specifically for this build.
Thanks in advance.

Does anybody know if this will work?

Yes you will, if you want to be able to flash roms I recommend that you do not take the update

You will not lose sim unlock however you will lose boot loader unlock. Just wanted to clarify that

It's good to know that I won't lose my SIM unlock, I had been worried that it would cause problems for the person I sold my s4 to, it's nice to know I didn't screw them over (T-Mobile user).

Sorry lollipop even. Ive jus updated to lollipop lol. Can it be rooted
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
Ok I need some advice lol.
Im new to rooting etc as I done my s3 i9300 ages ago and left it on ultimarom .
I got my s5 g901f today which I believe is a samsung s5 plus? Its been updated to lollipop and now on xxu1boc4?
Is it ok to use the auto root zip file I found online via odin? and if I wanted to flash a cwm recovery what one would I use? I dont want to brick my phone and I can see I dont have the g900 s5 so im unsure.
Anybody able to explain my phone to me? Thsnks in advance
