If not, is there anything I can do to make my phone cooler without root or a ROM?
You can downgrade PL1 to OF1 through Odin (OF1 being an earlier 5.0 build) and then root that easily with the yemen tools. After that you can unlock bootloader and flash TWRP to do whatever you want.
Is there a video on How to Downgrade? I downloaded ODIN, But I dont know where to get the downgraded files.

The other tools can easily be found in this forum. After downgrading if you really want PL1 rooted you can use the stock flashable zips that are available (and root with SuperSU after flashing)

Seems like downgrading is required, but I'm not sure about it. Someone rooted version from the subject.

I'm trying to help a family member root their new phone. The most up to date guide I've found here is for the previous update (NI2) and I haven't seen anything for the Verizon NK2 version. Is it still possible to root this version? If so do you know where I can find out how?

It's the same thing, doesn't matter what the starting version is. You still have to downgrade to NGC

So just downgrade the kernal to NCG, root, then update the kernal using Odin? Skipping the step about flashing the OTA since its already updated?

I believe that flashing the kernel would work but you would have to work your way through a lot of FC's. I normally flash a full tar but you having a brand new phone, this probably isn't necessary but it is what I normally do ( below is the tar file I use. It is a complete internal wipe to a like new phone on NGC). Root with towelroot, download SuperSU from play store, update the binaries and reboot. I would suggest safestrap. You would need to download from play store then install busybox first. Then install safestrap and install its recovery.

I'm pretty familiar with how rooting the S5 works before updates as that is how I did mine (froze the updater and didn't have time to figure out how to safely update). What I am confused about is what I do when coming from a later software version, the guide is even called "Safely Upgrade and Root..." not how to downgrade and root, and the guide to update to lollipop seems to require already being rooted.

I told you how to root, downgrade, root, then upgrade. Plus, you need to read down a little further. See notes #4

Ok, I had found that guide before getting this new phone for my phone but didn't look at it again since I remembered that it had to be rooted already and was assuming I had to root on an earlier version hence the confusion.
Its understandable why people without root don't read it or at least don't read on down.
So as i dont see the model # listed for CF root or towelroot, im guessing i need to odin custom recovery and flash SU or is there another way out there im not finding?:fingers-crossed:

I was able to use towelroot to get access on this device. I haven't been able to get TWRP onto it though, or get a Rom on either.

If this is like a lot of Samsung devices then what's going on is the early firmware (NE2) was rootable with towelroot, but the more recent one (NK1) is not. Check your settings > about tablet to see which build number you're on (I'm assuming it's NK1). The most immediate solution would be to just downgrade the firmware, root, and stay with that (disable update notifications/freeze the updater app).
However, if you know what you're doing, it's only the kernel that needs to be changed. So extract the kernel file (boot.img) from both firmware files and make a tar file for each boot.img. Flash the older kernel, root with towelroot, then flash the newer kernel, and voila you're rooted on the latest build. Your call

I have not tried, sorry
I did this with the t337a, if you want I could take a shot at it. I have no way of making sure it works though. Let me know if you are interested or if anyone would be willing to test the kernel.
I own the Tab S. It was released after towelroot was patched. So recently when Kingroot update their root method and such, we now can root with kingroot on KitKat ANK1 firmwares and not trip Knox. Of course people who owned att devices said it worked and some with Verizon said it didn't work. I mean its worth a try if anyone wants to try kingroot.

wouldn't tot to zve, manually updating to zvg/zvh and then rooting again work? If there is no root on zvi and you need it, downgrading to an older version looks to be the only option.

I am also stuck on ZVI and I want to root, flash TWRP, and run custom roms.
I have not seen any guides to do this that don't require root already. Many thanks will be given if you know of a way to downgrade the version on a stock phone. I have fasboot/ADB up and running I can easily flash something just let me know how or what.

to restore back the ZVE version (the last KK version) and OTA to ZVG (LP), then root, at your own risk.
Zvg and zvh root and install twrp with no problems using the lg one click root and autorec apk. If you want to install custom roms, stop at zvh and root. Don't go to zvi.

I have seen this, but odin is dangerous. If you can tell me doing step 4 only then installing superuser and towelroot will do the job ?
Also please tell me what is this file for ?
Step 4. Use Odin 3.12 and load the COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_G900VVRU2APA1_VZW2APA1_257265 6_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 in the AP Slot

Odin is safe lol it can help you if your ever get into hot water. Also I believe that's the initial file to initial safestrap & no, you're going to have to go through all of that if you want root. It's annoying but worth it to get rid of those pesky bloatware apps.
In step 2 it says: "and the TouchWiz ROM you want to install. " Where can I get one? It does not matter which, as I intend to use Nova Launcher.
EDIT: Nevermind, that was only for the 11 version.
