I need 2 quick yes or no questions answered.
So I got the notification for android lollipop update today. I was wondering if I updated to lollipop can i still root my phone using http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2014/09/To...54968248450075":"og.likes"}&action_ref_map=[] method of rooting? Is there a way to have the phone rooted with lolipop?
P.S. I tried searching Google n the forums first I promise. I do however get lost easily in forums n what to post where so please forgive me if I did anything wrong posting this. :-/

I'd be grateful to know too!

I just accepted the last up date a couple weeks ago and it uprooted my phone. It took alot to get root back. Will I lose it again if I get this update? Is there a way to reroot & is the update worth the trouble? Thanks so much y'all, in advance, for your help!

Please make your own thread after searching the forums and google instead of hijacking my thread with a different question to cut down on clutter n confusion. Thanks.

Are you sure the update notification you received is for lollipop? The S5 just received an update to the NK2 build last week. That update was still 4.4.4 kit Kat and not lollipop. I'd be shocked if this phone got updates this quickly back to back. If you haven't yet received the NK2 update, that is probably the notification you are receiving.

And if it is the NK2 update, it would appear you can root out using the same method for rooting NI2.
