How can I root my General Mobile 4G Marshmallow?
Is SU 2.45 working on MM?
why not just try it and report back here?

Success!
I hadn't installed Lollipop on my 2012 Nexus 7 (Grouper) because of all the problems I read about but I decided to try it through using Multiboot and keeping KK 4.4.4 too. I now have Lollipop running, including most of the apps I have running in KK, without any apparent problems. I initially installed Lollipop as the secondary ROM. After Lollipop is installed as the secondary ROM, it takes a while for the boot process to complete the first time, it seems to take forever. In order to unlock and root Lollipop I had to make it the primary ROM and used Nexus Root Toolkit running on Windows 8.1 to unlock and root Lollipop just as I had with KK. Now I can alternate from KK to Lollipop and vice-versa.
This is for Nexus 4 but works the same for Nexus 7 if the correct Lollipop version is used:

Hi
Did yolu installed also kernel for lollipop? Or are you using KitKat kernel? I tried to install as you described but lollipop always directs me to recovery.
asking same qeustions as hugo_bjk , before i updated to LOL' from 4.4.4 i tried to multirom various 5.0 roms but none worked all went to recovery as hugo_bjk says, im now 5.0 and performance for me is better then 4.4.4 anyways and now i do have kali nethunter installed via multirom ontop of paranoid saber remix:laugh:
I also installed 5.0 kernel but no go. Still directs me to recovery.
success
Âfter swapping internal and lollipop roms lollipop boots with success.
I've been away for a few days and just read the postings since I did the OP. I installed a Lollipop kernel with the kexec-hardboot patch and made Lollipop primary. Lollipop is working well, so far.

Got a notification for a system update a few hours ago, it's the Android L update. Running 4.4.4 unlocked & rooted on XT1095 Pure. Does anyone know if this update removes root/unlock, or will I be the first victim?
Also, on an unrelated note, does GravityBox for KK still work in L?

As far I know every OTA breaks the root, you will need to root again using the brand new CF method for Lollipop.
Xposed is not supported on Lollipop, so, Gravity Box will not work on it.

HI I am very new to all of this so here goes. I recently purchased a S5 and it is currently running Kit Kat 4.4.4 and I was going to root it using the towelroot method and then upgrade to Lollipop using a thread on here as a reference. But I have some concerns
1. I was reading that Lollipop is terrible and filled with bugs and battery drains problems and speed issues
2. I head that there is a lollipop version 5.1 if I installed lollipop 5.0 how to I install the 5.1 update.
3. Also is it really worth the upgrade over Kit Kat
My phone is a G900A and its from AT&T if that helps thanks

I'm quite certain the latest version the G900A has is 5.0.1. To get to it you need to downgrade to 4.4.2(nce) and run towelroot, then you can use flashfire to upgrade to the pre-rooted lollipop, either oc4 or of2. I don't have any issues with lollipop, it's all up to personal prefrence i think.

Does anyone know a way to downgrade to certain versions of 5.0.2 that do not have the exploit patched? Can we just side load an earlier version?
hi guy,you can't do it before your phone is rooted

You cant odin install an unpatched version of 5.0.2?
I dont believe I've ever seen G890A 5.0.2 firmware posted for sideload, only 5.1.1
catch me up real quick, what exploit in 5.0.2 has been patched in 5.1.1? because I am on 5.0.2
And if i have root on 5.1.1 how to downgrade to 5.0.2?

For 5.0.2, try this,

I've been rooted since KitKat (4.4), currently on Lollipop (5.0) and I believe my bootloader is still unlocked. How do I confirm this?
I'd like to upgrade it to Marshmallow 6.0/6.0.1, if that's possible. Any recommended path to the soft goodness of MM?
Of course.
Step 1: Don't

Well now because there are not official builds just yet, the ones uploaded were just test builds that apparently work smoothly but some apps don't work (android pay), if you manage to update and the official build comes out you will have to back up your data and wipe over and over again.
And you will also lose that sweet root permanently.
