[Q] Jumping into a S5, root options

[grnsl2]

Looking to purchase a Sammy s5 and am not familiar with flashing since my Galaxy nexus days. (those were the days lol) Been in the Motorola boat for some time.

Base band shows G900VVRU1BOCA and according to Samsung's website, I believe this means it's at the LP version at this point. Any problems flashing back to KK to root etc that I need to be aware of?

Thanks in advance.

That was probably OC4. No problem downgrading, rooting, then upgrading again and keeping root.

I had one of those Galaxy Nexus's too. Nothing could be as fun as those were. Flash a different rom and kernel every day for at least a month.
