Root How can I reroot my Samsung Galaxy s5 after updating to lollipop?

S

Samsung Galaxy s5

Lurker
Hi guys, I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy s5 right now (GM900H) and I want to update to lollipop. I'm well aware that if I update (via kies) I will lose root, so my question is, If anyone knows how I can root my phone again after updating to lollipop would you please kindly show me a step by step process to do so? My phone model is GM900H XXU1ANG3, thank you :) PS: I'm new to android rooting so a full detailed explanation would be so helpful :)

I am assuming that you may have the non 4G, octa core model of Galaxy S5... the G900H.

Could you post your model and exact, "Version", details as per #1.2 and #1.8 of 40 Galaxy S5 models - Dummies Guide

Your screenshot quite clearly states that your model is the SM-G900H, which is the Samsung Galaxy S5 non 4G, octa core model. See #1.3 of 40 Galaxy S5 models - Dummies Guide. This model does NOT even have a 4G/LTE modem and therefore cannot connect to 4G/LTE networks. H+ is not 4G/LTE.

As you have not provided the exact, "Version", details requested in my previous post, I cannot comment further.

Oh sorry about that I'm not really good at these tech things, but so since that's the case, does your thread have a way I can root my s5 after updating it? My version that is, but thanks for your help :)
