Hello,
I have been trying to search for an answer to this but have only found ways to root a note edge or root a note edge after upgrade.
I know that when Lollipop was released, there were discussions of how you had to go back to a stock configuration, then upgrade, then root again.
I have a stock kernel root 4.4.4 which I did back in 2014.
Is there any way of being able to upgrade, while rooted, to Marshmallow?
Regardless of the answer, all help would be greatly appreciated as to the required steps to move up to the new ROM.
Links would also be helpful.
My intention is to remain in stock root configuration.
Also, if any of you have Marshmallow with root, would you happen to know if the old GalaxyTools ver 2.2 works with it (the only reason why I have not yet upgraded)
Thanks in advance

I couldn't find a solution too specific to my phone, but was mostly just wondering, Does anyone know if the newest CF-auto-root is compatible with a Canadian SGH-I337M; Ver 4.4.2; Baseband VLUFNE1 on the MTS network? if so, where is a safe download source of the .tar?
And if not if there is anything that is compatible? Keep in mind im not looking to flash custom roms, i essentially want root to use rooted apps and all the devince freedom that comes with it. essentially a basic root. Also Ive previously rooted my S2 and an old motodroid so theres no need to review the rooting process ive got that down.
Thanks, any and all advice is appreciated!
Hello,
I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012 Edition), WiFi only, bought in Canada with N8010XXUCMH2 build, and running stock 4.1.2.
I want to upgrade to KitKat and was waiting for the stock update but it does not appear to be coming (for Canada and N8010XXUCMH2).
My questions is which is the closest stock ROM I can use instead? And will it work out of the box or will I require other modifications? I have searched around the forums for an have found various answers to which ROM I should be using and to be honest I am a little confused.
Lastly, after upgrading to this ROM, can I root and what is recommended as an easy method to do this?
Has anyone tried any other country ROMS?
Did you find any solution DrZEUS? I use the same version and cannot find any solution yet. I want to root my device but cannot find anything for this specific version.
I'll keep looking. If I find a solution I'll (try to remember to) post it here.
If you have the N8010 then its always been rootable .
Although I couldn't find any root methods for my galaxy S5 active I seen something about downgrading it to 4.4.2 to use towelroot. I ran into an internet problem trying to download the firmware, fixed that. Then Odin started having problems before it started downgrading. Is it possible to downgrade? Its running the OF3 bootloader and after doing some research I found some people saying it's locked and impossible to downgrade. So is it possible To downgrade a SM-G870A running the 5.0 lollipop update with the OF3 bootloader? Or is there some kind of root available for it? Or even someway to unlock the bootloader without losing all my data? I've been trying to figure something out for 3 days straight now.
Thanks.
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
After reading this thread, it seems that you can't downgrade to Kitkat.
Please feel free to open a new thread in your dedicated Q&A forum. New solutions may have been found...
Good luck!
Good day
Previously I had a Galaxy S3 and I was using CyanogenMod – Loved it!
I just always preferred a phone that was clean and lean without all the bloatware.
Now I’m with the S5 and there is possibly an option available for a custom ROM for my phone?
Currently –
SAMSUNG GALAXY S5 SM-G900A AT&T
Lollipop 5.0 G900AUCU3BOC4
So far as I can tell this phone could not be rooted.
Until a few days ago I got a notice in an email that it was now available.
I was on their mailing list if something should become available.

I know you can’t go backward LP 5.0 – KK 4.4.
One can only go forward, LP 5.0 - LP 5.1 or LP 5.0 – Marshmallow.
However most of what I have seen out there for my phone has been LP 5.0.
At present I’m looking at these unless someone can suggest something else.
TMS5 3.0 ROM LP5.0
Twi5ted lollipop V7 LP 5.0
Alliance V8 ROM LP5.0
My question is, can I go from LP 5.0 (Stock) to LP 5.0 (Custom)?

If you've got the locked bootloader then you're out of luck rooting and flashing TWRP/Cyanogenmod.

Actually the phone is rooted now. Right after I posted this I used Kingroot king481.apk and Titanium Backup is installed and Root Check confirmed its now rooted. Although I have not tried the Bootloader...... With my luck that is another issue..... I wonder if I should try the first step with the Bootloader and see if SAFESTRAP or TWRP can install?

Safestrap is no longer supported and with locked bootloader you're not gonna get TWRP to work.

Your device is an AT&T variant, your device has a locked bootloader, you can't install custom recovery with a locked bootloader. The bootloader on your device can not be unlocked, you will never be able to install custom recovery on your device. If you want custom recovery you will have to get another device because you will never be able to use custom recovery on the device that you already have.

Hi guys & girls,
Another new noob making his first critical question, here's the low down. OK I have a Nexus 7 running 5.1.1 Lollipop, (WISH I WOULD HAVE NEVER UPGRADED TO LOLLIPOP FROM KITKAT) but anyway, I have tried several ways of rooting it. TowelRoot, KingoRoot, Nexus Root Tool Kit (NRK), etc...
I know I can downgrade back to a later version of my KittyKat. How ever I was trying to avoid that method (if it can be helped). My Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900A it gave me a bit of trouble rooting it on behalf of it being an AT&T version. So enough yacking.. Here's my question, and any answer I will appreciate. I would like to know if there is an OFFICIAL way to root the Nexus 7? Or any late releases that anyone knows about, for rooting the Nexus 7 5.1.1 Lollipop, eather If it's a one-click method or PC method? I'd be happy with a PC method (if it can be helped). I'd rather a easy one-click method, we love those methods.
Thanks for any & all answers,

Hey Again,
As I see no one was able to find a way to Help me Root my "N7", I was able to do research and upgrade my own CPU (My Brain) and get the job done myself and even managed to unlock the bootloader, on my own as well. Thanks for those who tryed. But it was a win, win for me bc I am now well advanced in the computer world.:good:
So if anyone else has this similar issue I will be delighted to help.
Thanks
