Is it possible to root the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V) on Android 5.0 Lollipop? I had root on 4.2 previously, but the update lost it, and with it my ability to use Sixaxis, AdFree, some features of NFC Tools and Tasker and Xposed modules.

I have searched, but it does not appear on this list:
How do I root my Android device?

I also saw a similar question here, but this is the AT&amp;T version, not Verizon:
How to root the SM-G900F Android 5.0 without tripping KNOX?

Towelroot doesn't work (just tried) and the SM-G900V isn't listed here: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/

Anyone have any experience with this?
Hi there is a way out but it requires a bit of home work.

Towel root can only root Android KitKat so you've to downgrade to Android 4.4 and gain root access using Towel root.

Later you can upgrade to Android Lollipop 5.0 without loosing the root access.

If you like the idea here is the reference link to the guides given on the Xda developer forum.
