Does anyone think that we will see native root for Lollipop? I really don't want to odin back to 4.4.2 and the development on Lollipop ROMS are going to be awesome once we get a serious root solution! What do you guys think about seeing this in the near future?
I'm sure we will see root for Lollypop but I doubt without tripping Knox.
Tripping Knox doesn't matter to me. My warranty is up anyways
I'm running rooted 5.0 right now - Thank You @Walter.White
Going back to nc2 wasn't that big of an issue.
I have a rooted NK4 kit Kat note 4 (tmobile), stock, and when I want to run a software update through the settings, it can't update because my device has been rooted. I wanna know if there's a way I can upgrade to lollipop, through my custom recovery (twrp) to update my device to lollipop without losing my data and losing root. any way this is possible? Thanks in advance for any advice or answers.
You have to use kies

You don't need Kies to upgrade your phone to the new Tmobile COD6 Lollipop firmware.
Here is a link to an easy step by step guide which will guide you through the process.

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 just got T810 with 9.7" screen. It has Android 5.0.2
Love it so far but never had Samsung device before, so not sure about OS updates and rooting.
It just downloaded a software update (289 MB) but I did not install it yet.
Will this bring device to 5.1.1? Are there any downsides to updating? Can I roll back to 5.0.2? On my Moto X phone OS roll back generally is not possible.
Both 5.0.2 and 5.1.1 can be rooted, correct? Is there any advantage of rooting 5.0.2 and then updating to 5.1.1 vs first updating to 5.1.1 and then rooting?
And if I root - there is no way to "unroot" because KNOX will be tripped and it will also void my warranty. Did I get this right?
Search for posts on kingroot.
On 5.1.1 atm and root didn't work with a couple methods.
You cannot downgrade from 5.1.1
