[Q] simple root/upgrade question

Hi. Been out the loop for a while and struggling to find the answer to my question.
I'm on 4.4.4 no custom revovery but with root.
I have an OTA notice to go to lollipop, which should be fine, as I have stock evetything?
How do I simply get root back afer the update?
So many posts with options, I'm struggling to find the right answer.

Unlock bootloader, and then either use cf-autoroot or flash latest SuperSU BETA through twrp.

Thanks, bootloader is already unlocked. I don't really want to install any custom recoveries, so the cf-autoroot sounds like the way to go.
Do you have a link for how to use this method?

to use a custom recovery you don't need to flash it.. just boot it.

Already Rooted ¿can i unlock the bootleader for free?

Guys i really sorry for this noob question but im kinda lost whit this phone...
I was using a moto x but this droid ultra its different.
Actually my phone has the 4.4 firmware and im already rooted (used towelroot) ¿there is any way to unlock the bootloader for free?
EDIT: Im lost... Completely lost.
Towelroot doesn't work, towelpieroot its temporal, I can't flash twrp via "app" or fastboot (cuz boot loader locked)...
I dont know what else can I do... Sorry if this was asked before but I can't find answers in the forum.

Update first then flash twrp. You won't lock the bootloader. Once unlocked you stay that way.

My understanding is to root the phone you need custom recovery. To get custom recovery you need unlocked bootloader. To unlock the bootloader you need to be in fastboot mode connected to a device that can send fastboot commands. I do not think it HAS to be a PC however, no such device exist other than PC/Mac/Linux that has fastboot driver.

@rraquib is correct. You first need to unlock your bootloader which requires a PC. Then you need to flash a custom recovery which requires a PC. Then you can flash SuperSU to root your stock ROM from the custom recovery on your phone, or flash a pre-rooted custom ROM from the custom recovery on your phone.

Thank you guys! I think I got it

[SOLVED] Galaxy S6 G920FQ Bootloader unlock?

As I said in the title my device is G920FQ model. I want to try custom roms, is it already bootloader unlocked or is there a way to unlock bootloader? I've searched this place but couldn't find anything.
Also if it is bl unlocked can I just flash TWRP without rooting my device first?
EDIT: Got it all sorted out.

[Q] BLUnlock not allowed solution ?

Hello every one. I have a c2105 from Vodafone and I'm convinced that there's no option to unlock my bootloader, but recently, I found two videos on Youtube which show a software that can unlock it when it says "NOT Allowed"...
Links:

Has anyone tried one of these softwares and has it a chance to succeed ? :fingers-crossed:
Thank you :laugh:

Flash recovery to boot via fastboot and flash rom and after that flash boot from that rom

There is a way to install a cwm while BL locked. Although in order to flash a custom ROM you need to find a good one and one for BL locked (which there aren't many at the moment)
