I'm running an S5 (SM-G900W8) and I see it's no longer rooted. I assume that this happened the last time I did a LineageOS update. Is this normal?

I don't have this variant but, many individuals have to flash SuperSU again after updating an already installed LineageOS (also known as Dirty Flashing) because the update can undo what SuperSU does to Root the device but, I cannot be sure for the G900W8.
I would recommend/suggest that questions regarding the LineageOS for the G900W8 (klte) should be posted on the following Official LineageOS thread.

This way you can obtain member support/feedback from others with the same device and firmware (LineageOS).
Good Luck!

I have the g900f version of s5
My father has a SM-G900H, which latest offical firmware update was long time ago.
I need to update his phone, and I wanted to know if I would be able to use the latest official SM-G900F from sammobile, and after flashing, reflashing the official latest kernel and modem for his specific variant.
Would it work?
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately not...
The G900F has a Qualcom processor and the G900H has an Exynos processor. This does make a difference.
The only small possibility of this working is by Porting the Firmware but, I am not aware of any developments released for this because the G900F Firmware would have to be modified a bit to work for the G900H device.
If you want to ask further questions, regarding the GS5, then your best bet is to post it within the following, device specific, Q&A thread.

Thanks for your answer... you saved me from soft bricking my father's phone
As the title says, I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900V with CID starting with 11. I've searching tons of pages looking for a way to finally get root or install another ROM. I'm using Android 6.0.1.
I've read a tutorial here where explain how to get root doing a downgrade and installing a Lollipop ROM, but I don't want to leave Marshmallow .
So let me know if I'm right: I don't have any other options to change my ROM? Do I have to keep my phone with this ROM forever? Do we any hope to unlock the bootloader someday? or that's impossible and no one cares about that?
Thank you very much.

Does anyone have the stock firmware, kernel, and modem files for NK2? It seems AndroidHost decided to delete the ones from the Software Guide Thread.
(also just a quick question: Which root-able firmware for the G900V CID 11 has the best battery life?)

The Modems are located on the following thread.
[BASEBAND-FIRMWARE-MODEMS]Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 {SM-G900V/KLTEVZW}[ODIN] by Ibuprophen
As far as the stock Firmware, I'm in the process of uploading most of them and haven't completed the NK2 yet.
For the Kernel... I didn't extracted any of the Kernels from the Stock Firmware.
For the battery life, your best bet is to post this question within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device.

The device is currently running 4.4.2 (I downgraded to run towelroot, and want to achieve this without tripping knox)
Do I have to upgrade to stock Marshmellow, and then use flashfire to install LOS 14?
Many thanks.
Never mind, it worked the next time I tried it, but don't understand why. Tripped knox though :'(

It's not something that happens all the time but, can/may happen. The only time I would think that there's a real issue is if the same error is consistent.
Just an FYI... The following threads should be helpful for you in the future.
The following thread is the Official LineageOS thread for the klte variants.
