Follow the steps. Download the new version. Use Odin. Simple.

I am in the same boat as you, eek88dj. (G900A, using on Cricket Wireless). And I used the same exact instructions/method as directed by slackhouse, when the PH3 update was available on XDA website. It's been going good so far..

Its because the 5.0.1 and 5.0 updates were for an earlier version of kitkat. No way to manually update or no ota yet. Must wait it out because there is not a great was to downgrade firmware

I have the AT&T S5 running Lollipop.
I don't recall - but I *think* I got this device before Lollipop was released. I got the device in May'14. My research shows that Lollipop came out Nov'14.
So - if I got the device with the prior release - but it's running Lollipop now - is there a way to root it?
Thanks.
No I have the same problem. I have been waiting for months now

If you took the lollipop OTA then no, there is still no active root available.
Any news on root yet?

If you are on the official 5.0+ ota, through any means other than the prerooted flashfire method, there is no known way to downgrade, root, etc. If you flashed the ota for lollipop, bought your phone and it had lollipop, or took the ota, and it is an att s5 (G900A) then it is not, at the time of me posting this, possible to downgrade to KitKat or root or anything of the sort.

Does anyone have the firmware for the lollipop on s5 active?
Does anyone know if models of S5 being sold as new now are being released with lollipop or kitkat preinstalled?
Is there a way to know by serial number on the box?
The reason I am asking is I just purchased one online a few days ago on the daily steals website has it was advertised As new and unlocked. I did not realize being that I am from Canada that this was a lockdown AT&T model. It is scheduled to arrive in the next day or so and I would prefer not to open the box and affect my ability to return it without restocking fee if it already comes with lollipop on it. Hi I'm less concerned about achieving root and more concerned about having the ability to native flea tether on my plan back here in Canada.
Also if it did come with lollipop firmware preinstalled, is there a way to enable native tethering on the phone if root is not achievable?

I'm not aware of any way of knowing before hand.

I'm not sure either I would just see if it is a 5.0 and below and just achieve root its so simple then you flash native tethering it just sounds like that would be the easiest way
5.0 and below or just kit Kat?

Not getting my hopes up, but hopefully with 6.0 there will be an exploit.

is kitkat the only rootable firmware or is early lollipop 5.0

KitKat 4.4.2, if you're on 4.4.4 you can downgrade, any higher (5.0) and you're stuck.

Downgrade to 5.0.1?

This 5.1.1 is ****. Any way to downgrade?
Very sluggish and unstable.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
I am still at 5.0 and I think I have corupted data files and need to do a total wip with a new firmware. If 5.1.1 is not good can some one tell me which firmware to get and how to get it? Also maybe a link on how to update it, I am no longer on the att network and I need my phone asap. Thanks a million.
AT&T Samsung-sm-G900A
So is it fairly accurate to assume that if I have an AT&T Samsung-sm-G900A with 5.1.1 update from AT&T I cannot root the phone because I can't downgrade the rom to a lower version that will allow me to root?

right,
I'm hoping though that 5.1.1 to 5.0.1 is still possible.

Marshmellow Update for S5 ( bad news)

Just got off phone with ATT support and per Samsung specialist Marshmellow will not be rolled out for the S5 until the end of the year.
MOD EDIT:
If you want to discuss the Marshmallow update or provide new information, there are a few existing discussions to choose from, so no need to start another.
THREAD CLOSED
Those people don't have any more clue about when it will be rolled out than anyone else.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
but some of us already got - unofficial - marshmallow 6.0.1 a.k.a PG3 for our G900A....
and if PG3 has a some problem..although we find out, i think we have no method going back PA6 or former version of lollipop 5.1.1...
I was able to go back from pg3 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 pa2 and it works get odin file there's four of them and it deffently works then your phone will update to the rest one by one in till the latest lollipop
Now two versions behind
Android released next OS. ATT Galaxy S5 now 2 versions behind. Per Tech spt too many bugs. Strange that other carriers do not have issues.
Wrong....

Downgrade n910T3 from Current MM Firmware to KK?

Pardon my frustration but I have spent the last hour or so looking on XDA and other places to find anyone with a successful downgrade on the 910T3 Tmobile to KitKat? Is this possible? Am I missing something? In advance i would like to say thank you for those that take the time to reply.
Did we never see KitKat on the n910T3?

N910T3 actually came with 5.1.1 lollipop out of the box there is no kitkat available or even 5.0 lollipop.
And even more bad news is N910T3 once upgrade to marshmallow there is no way to downgrade to lollipop because of locked bootloader.
N910T variant is only possible to downgrade from marshmallow to lillipop and kitkat.
And why do you wanna do that anyway ?
Kitkat is outdated almost 3 years old now and many apps and games required 5.0 or higher to run.
Stick with marshmallow its not that bad .
or if you really wanna go back to kitkat you can swap your t3 to T variant thats all i can say.
