[Q] Noob needs help rooting G900V 4..4.4 NK7 & killing reminder topic

In complete honesty, I would never try rooting absent absolute necessity, but now I am at that point. I have an app that will not work on Lollipop that I have to use daily (app will be updated by August per developer); it is essential for a particular portion of my work, and I am the only one affected by this as all the others use an iDevice. I am being reminded by Verizon to install Lollipop almost every time I look at my phone, now rendering the phone unusable. I have to root to freeze the app that is giving those reminders, if I am reading the various forums right. I have used computers for decades, and programmed in the IBM PC days, but have no experience with this stuff. And the information I see on how to do it is all either internally contradictory or unclear, or uses terminology that I don't understand. (The thread linked to in the FAQ in this forum included... it has many pages of replies, some which are contradictory themselves. I think I have figured out what Odin is, but don't understand such things as "flash an older build," Knox, and the like.

Can anyone help by pointing to a clear procedure to root and stop the reminders from VZW to update to Lollipop? I do not have any desires regarding this other than to stop the reminders so I will not have to update to Lollipop before August. I would be immensely grateful and would be glad to make a contribution to the charity of the choice of anyone who can provide a comprehensible solution soon.

As stated in the title, on my phone the KitKat version is 4..4.4 and the build is NK7 (I did install the last KitKat update before Lollipop).
