Post Body

Hey all, I have a UK sim free S5, which I accidentally updated (version is now 4.4.2) and now I have lost my root. This was pretty important to me as I had done a lot of stuff on greenfy and used wakelock detector a lot to make my battery last a decent amount of time.

My question is what do I do? Can I root on my current firmware? Would it be wiser for me to wait for lollipop to get released and then install that and root it (is lollipop rootable?)

Many thanks guys

Also as a side note: I accidentally flashed my phone some time ago with a Three (network operator) firmware (baseband version G900FXXU1ANG2) and I was wondering if someone could tell me what the SIM free/generic baseband version is?
