Where is best guide to upgrade to official Lollipop (and root etc.)

Can anyone point me to a website that explains how to take a standard un-rooted kitkat v500 (UK version), to an official LG version of Lollipop? There seem to be lots of threads upgrading to unofficial versions, but I wanted the official version. I am very Windows computer literate but new to rooting etc..

Trying to make the best of a bad situation (root)

I have been hanging around on my Sprint Note 3, for quite a while looking for my next phone. I was thinking about waiting for the new Nexus 6, especially since I have a Google Fi invite. My girlfriend decided to surprise me by trading in my note 3, and adding me her at&t mobile value share. I am happy to be off Sprint, but my girlfriend didn't realize the downsides to the phone she got me. Battery, SD card is a little annoying, but of course no root. Yikes.

I'm going to attempt to keep the phone because it is a gift. But, for those on the note 5 bandwagon,have you found passable solutions to any of the things we always use.
Whether it's proper adblocking, disabling all the bloatware, or even being to completely remove what I don't want on my phone.

Has anyone found anything that can even help recreate the functions of root we all miss.

I like the phone a lot, but rooted would make me love it. Or gladly throw in a few hundred to a thousand dollar's to members researching over the new Knox subsystem.

Need Odin root for SM-T807A (ATT)

I picked up a used tablet with a broken screen and managed to get some parts swapped out and get it booting.. but it hangs at the boot logo.. The original donor was supposed to have been rooted but may have been soft bricked.

Thinking I can odin the kernel and OS to the latest version (or even stock ATT kernel and OS).

I downloaded/installed Odin 3 v1.85 and the pit that comes with it is u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4

anyone have a pit and bin or tar that I can use to either reload to stock or better yet, load the latest/best kernel and version of android. I'd prefer root, but I'm ok with stock/clean wipe/reload of everything.

I can get it to boot to download mode if there's another way in (download.zip?).. but I can't get into the OS to do anything other then 'factory wipe' and it just hangs at the logo. (waited for a day)

I've never used this type of tablet before (familiar with the nexus, note, etc..) so maybe it's even hardware locked. Appreciate any input you can offer. The tablet is a Frankenstein of parts or I'd take it in for service.. pretty sure that's not covered under warranty..

Galaxy Tab S root - odin - pc - stuck in reboot

I picked up a used tablet from a friend who had a tablet stuck in reboot..

it's a AT&T tablet that he tried to root..

SKU 6619A (10+ inch)

I'd like to just use ODIN and wipe the whole tablet and start over with root and a custom recovery/basic rom. I'm new to this brand of tablet.. but I imagine TWRP works or something similar.

Suggestions on the version (and link) of Odin I should use and the best ROM that will give me a basic load, custom recovery and latest version of Android would be appreciated.

I can't boot into the OS.. so using some of those tools isn't an option at this time.

I'm not going to be using ATT network for anything (the SIM card is actually removed). I just want wifi access on it. I'm not going to use any service provider. I could probably take it to a ATT store, but since I'm not using their network (I use sprint) I'm not sure if they'll want to charge me to wipe/reload it, if they'll do it at all.

SDcard options with Root?

I have a Galaxy S5 on Sprint's network which is currently not rooted and completely stock. Problem is the storage on the phone is only 16GB which can be quite limiting at times. I know I can move some applications to the SD card however even when moving the applications it leaves a chunk of the program on the internal storage plus any app upgrade gets installed on the internal flash not the SD card.

What I'm hoping to do is
1) keep the stock software (possibly remove some of the bloatware)
2) use the microSD card for all applications instead of the internal flash (I have a class 10 64GB MicroSD card)
3) retain use of google pay (I think this can be done with root blockers/hiders?)

So is the above possible? How would I go about doing the above?

If I do root the phone I believe the phone will then indicate that its been tampered with (Knox?) can this indicator later be reversed? reinstalling the original Samsung software, or is this a permanent side effect of rooting?

Thanks,
-TL
