    Thread Replacement S5 with 5.0, BOG5, am I out of luck to root? Any way to remove bloat?

    Done some searching through the threads and I just want to make sure I haven't missed anything new. Build number is BOG5. Can I downgrade that and root? Or am I out of luck? Are there workarounds for removing bloatware? Thanks.

    Post [HOW TO] [GUIDE] [Q&A] - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 ROOT & Then Some

    Taking rooted 4.4.4 to 5.0 (and keeping root) I used these directions to successfully root a 4.4.4 GS5. I'm considering updating to 5.0 and I'd like to keep root. Anyone do this? Can I do OTA? Will I have to reroot? Thanks!!

    Factory reset...? You'll have to forgive me, I'm a novice with this. In the instructions you recommend a data wipe/factory reset. Does this imply that I'll have to remove all the data/apps from my phone in order to install CyanogenMod? Basically it'll be a fresh start (with this firmware)...
