I am afraid that due to AT&T's decision to mega lock down their bootloader after the initial firmware,
G900AUCU1ANCE, over 4 years ago which prevents AOSP custom ROMs or kernels, there is little interest or support for the model, G900A. See,
#1.6 of
42 Galaxy S5 models - Dummies Guide. This is why you see so many custom ROMs for the easily rooted global model, G900F, and others with ROMs for up to Android 8.
There are a few ROMs over on xda developers that can get you a little more updated...
AT&T Galaxy S5 Android Development
Rooting and flashing ROM's and mods is for experienced and competent users.
