Yes. You can use the battery pull method from kit Kat 4.4.4

I agree, a link to how to root the Sprint version on Lollipop would be very helpful.

The method is the EXACT same as it was on KitKat for both Sprint AND T-Mobile (as well as the Verizon Dev Edition). About a million guides were posted before. A quick search will bring them up.

I'd like to start a thread regarding the NET10 Samsung S4 4G LTE SGH-S970G.
Has anyone seen a way to unlock this device? Neither of the standard 2 methods of unlocking a Galaxy S 4 seem to work. I am unable to reach SERVICE MODE MAIN MENU beyond step 4 using the method described here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683
From what I have gathered thus far this might be able to be resolved by downgrading the radio/baseband however I would need an older stock firmware for this device and I do not believe one exists - and I am afraid of bricking the device using any other stock firmware.
Does anyone know of a method I might be able to carrier unlock this puppy?
Thanks in advance!
I have the same phone, SGH-S970G, and am unable to find a root option for it either. Has anyone found one?
EDIT: (01/14/14) SafeRoot also worked for me. Thank you to all for your help, I really appreciate it!

You could try apps that root the phone for you such as Framaroot and Poot, Framaroot has it's own forum on XDA. If you try let me know which works

Rooting seem to went fine unlocking seem to not go so fine someone offered me like $350 for it so I'll sell it rooted. Still couldn't get the menu it shows different carriers but network fails to connect for some reason
I noticed that some members have had these straight talk phones for more than a year now, so shouldn't some people be able to unlock their Straight Talk/Tracfone Galaxy S4 phones by now?

We need to make all the retail versions, developer versions by unlocking the bootloader!
Keep wishing on unlocked bootloader.

They never did it for the s4 so I'm not guessing it's not going to happen here either... I was lucky enough to have an mdk version.

I know word on the street is that devs are going to avoid the Note 5 like the plague, but according to THIS thread, the T-Mobile variant has working TWRP and may be close to root:

Does this bode well for Sprint development as well? Let's hope.

OP of that thread has been updated with the appropriate files. It all works, and I have root.
It's been a while since I rooted a phone, but I'm getting bored with my note edge so I wanted to know what are the pros and cons of rooting this particular device?
Is there a daily /working marshmallow ROM yet? Thanks for the help!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using Tapatalk
As far as I know,there"s no Custom M/M ROM.
That said,I'm rooted and an update check for M/M at Samsung mobile said I was rooted and didn't qualify for an upgrade.
With all the hassle of 5.1.1,why would I want it?
