NUT no longer makes pre-rooted firmware versions. But he made a guide explaining how to do that.

Hi guys!
I'm new to xposed, but I'm really interested in getting it and start modifying my G3 D855.
I flashed the new version for L 5.0 (which was uploaded at 8/03), but after the boot I keep getting force close messages to LGSmartCover and LGWeather processes. This also happened in the previous version, so I thought the updated one will solve this exceptions issue.
Any idea how to solve this? I really wanna get xposed!
Thanks in advance!

You have a lot of reading to do. Search for rooting s5. Make sure you understand everything before trying to modify your phone. I'd hate to see you bricked.

He means, go to Settings>About Device and look what the Android Version is. If it is 5.0 then do not bother looking to root your device...it's not possible on an ATT device with Android 5.0 right now.

yea its 5.0, is it possible to downgrade it? if it is, what version do you think is good enough to root?
You can't downgrade if you're already on 5.0, and even if you could, you can't install anything beyond Touchwiz (Samsung) based ROMs because of a locked bootloader.
Let me know if you have any luck

Thank you for posting this question because I am in the exact same situation. I have an AT&T Galaxy S 5 Android 5.1.1. I was never interesting in rooting my phone until just recently and have been doing some light reading on Life Hacker to learn more and it brought me here. I just wanted to clarify your comment above. Are you saying that having the phone that I/we have we are completely out of luck if we wanted to root/modify our phones? Forever or just until something changes down the road?
Well I sold my at&t s5 and ordered a unlocked tmobile s5 to use on at&t with my sim card because you can root the tmobile version. I hope one day soon someone will figure out how to root it I believe it will be done soon just keep checking back on here.

Well, yeah! But you need to downgrade first. Note that I don't test it, so use it at your own risk! Also I recommend that you use a good cable, or else...

I don't think that will work, the firmware listed there is 4.4.2 which is KitKat, you can not downgrade to KK if you are on lollipop or marshmallow, you could soft brick or worse. I would not attempt this unless you are actually on KK.

Maybe you can "update"(don't recommend it,though. Again, try it at your own risk):

For future reference, don't give these unsure ideas to people and tell them to update their phones like this. At the moment, YOU CANNOT GET ROOTED LOLLIPOP 100% of the time unless you were/are on 4.4.2 KitKat with root (use Towelroot) and update through muniz_ri's update method. Trying to downgrade to KitKat will result in a bricked device as the thread previously mentioned.
The reason why root persists on 5.0 when you update it via this method is due to using the older bootloader which doesn't verify the system's integrity the same way the newer bootloaders do.

OK, thanks for explaining and sorry for making these unsure posts.
I actually doesn't have the s5 att(except for a family member). I really just wanna help a little.
Hello everyone!
Firstly I apologise for starting another thread. But I have tried everything such as disabling most Samsung apps, keep brightness low and alot of other solutions people have suggested in other threads.
After upgrading to lollipop this the battery has become terrible. Attached is the screenshot. It's an unlocked note 5.
I don't want to root it so any help would be greatly appreciated. Is there a way to go back to lollipop without rooting? ( I'd prefer to avoid this route if i could)
Thank u in advance!

Make sure you search for the correct country you're in. A quick search shows
https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-N920C/
All you need to do is find the original firmware for Lollipop because you're on Marshmallow 6.0.1 now and Lollipop is 5.1.1
