Unless of course he updated prior to the root method thread created.
In either case, it appears that with the oc4 bootloader you can downgrade to root. Look for the Downgrade lollipop thread.
root for Galaxy s5 G900A ?
Could you use odin to flash the stock NDE kernel and then use towelroot to obtain root then flash the 0C4 kernel back ? I used a similar method when i was on 4.4.4 ,any feedback on this, thanks.

Im trying to upgrade my Note 4 N910T to Lollipop 5.0.1. I've been looking around and haven't found a straight answer. Don't really care if I lose root. I just want the Upgrade. CAN SOMEONE HELP?
And I'm guessing you don't have access to Odin/PC or Mac? Then the only way is for someone to upload a Twrp backup of a lollipop stock based rom. That might work.

U need odin till someone makes a zip to update all. Baseband boot and rom. That would be a huge risk. Get to a pc and use odin.

No, that is just the Kernel, You need to flash the entire Firmware. Remember this is an entirely different OS.
Check out pop rocks forum in development. Has stock rom and auto root with how to.

What will happen if I try it on other variants? Void warranty? If that's the only reason, then I can try it out because I no longer have warranty on my phone.

Unfortunately if your already on stock 5.1.1 then no root or downgrade is available at this time.
Oh man. Well thanks anyway

Hi,
Will we get a chance to root our S5 active with 5.1.1 on it in the near future?
Hey how's it going finally upgraded from a Galaxy S4 (rooted/safestrap/rom) to an S5 after almost 4 years.
Trying to root and load a custom rom on Galaxy S5 G900AUCU4BOF3 the guides say to first downgrade to OF3 that is on Android 5.0 (which is what I am on) to a pre-rooted OF3 - would I be safe to try to run Kingoroot or towelroot then use Chainfire to load a custom ROM without flashing a pre-rooted OF3 first?
Thanks
Nevermind figured it out guys thanks anyone who looked.
