I wanted to ask if there is a root for 5.0 yet without having to downgrade or using Safestrap ( I had no luck with safestrap nor with the downgrade). I was either hoping for something like towelroot for 5.0. Or even a custom rom with odin install.

MLG is not official. NC2 is the official kitkat.
Restore your phone to MJ5(if your on MLG only), root, install safesrap, then upgrade with odin to Dyamic Kat or Undriod kitkat that already has root, install safestrap.

Sorry for the noob-ness of this question. I just went to the DynamicKat (3.0 NC2 version) thread and read the OP.
The OP makes it look like you need to use SafeStrap to flash this... Above, you referenced ODIN. I'm very confused.
I'm getting a warranty replacement Note3 this morning in the mail and, assuming it comes with 4.3, I'm NOT taking the NC2 OTA. I'm really wanting to get rooted KK.
Any advice or guidance you can further provide would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
If you get a 4.3 device you will need to root it, then use Odin, then install safestrap.
Here's an example.

Thank you very much! I appreciate the help.
Fingers are crossed that my device comes with 4.3
This thread will be to gain advice and knowledge for those like me who don't have access to a pc but would like to go back from rooted to LOLLIPOP OTA-READY and then take the OTA, and then RE-ROOT, *WITHOUT A PC*, if it's possible..So in a nutshell, on 4.4.3, I gained unlocked boot loader and s-off with sunshine. I then used towelroot to temp-root so I could use flashify to flash twrp so I was able to flash superSu in TWRPand gain perm-root.
Now, I've already figured that I can download full odex Rom, and use flashify to then flash stock recovery, to be ready to take the lollipop ota when it comes.
The big question is, once that happens, in order to use flashify to flash TWRP back onto phone AFTER upgrading to lollipop without a pc, we would need a temp-root method that works for the m7 on Lollipop. I know as of kit Kat that contrary to popular belief , Towelroot DOES work, (at least it did on 4.4.2), and I've also heard that now there is a Weaksauce 2.. Question being, WILL ANY TEMP ROOT method actually WORK on lollipop, or will we be screwed unless we are able to get access to a pc and adb/fastboot???
Any advice would be helpful...
I'm on xtremekat rooted with safestrap. If I flash the 4.2 firmware will I be able to get the ota or will my phone remain rooted after flashing the firmware? Thanks!

After downgrade to NCE 4.4.2, you have to OTA to NG3, OA1, and finally OC4 (5.0). You will lose root, and if you accept the 5.0 OTA you will not be able to root or downgrade anymore. Use this method to update to 5.0 and keep root,

Wanted to know if there was a root out there for N900A Lollipop 5.0 yet. or if there was a way to restore back to 4.4.2 and then root and update to 5.0 been looking for an hour and not finding anything. if this has already been answered please post link and i will close thread.
You will need to downgrade back to NC2, then root with towelroot, install busybox, install safestrap, then upgrade to rooted Lollipop. You can find downgrade instructions/link on Walter White's thread as well as instructions on how to do the lollipop upgrade once you're rooted:

I have a Galaxy S5 (G900A), rooted on Lollipop 5.0 (0F3) using prerooted firmwares to upgrade from rooted kitkat. My bootloader version is still OA1. I want to downgrade now to kitkat so i can use safestrap. I was wondering if i could downgrade using the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar mentioned here and here, since i still have to OA1 bootloader, to downgrade without bricking my phone.

Yes you can use that downgrade file. I have used it many times. Your phone might run real laggy though after you downgrade. There is a thread somewhere that shows how to fix that issue. I'll see if i can find it for you.
