Right now it's impossible, sorry.
He didn't need to google it.All the forum is written that can't downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3.If some one look's at his profile he had only one post.He create his acount only for asking this.Is too hard to search and look for him.This post must be deleted by a moderator.

Root! That was fast!

Chainfire is at it again...

Maybe because it's not out yet?
Opening this in the T-Mobile section implied that there was root now. I am subscribed to both areas and tho I knew other models already had root for days, ours hadn't yet.
@Chainfire should release soon. many have shipping confirmation already,
Aaaaand, its released for n910t. Although one user has reported some issues with it.

It trips Knox. There's no way to do it without yet.
I don't know if i should root now or wait till a custom recovery is out. Help?

No one can tell you what to do bro. The choice is yours.
NOTE 4
I know it's irrational, but I have a problem with tripping knox, so I'll wait a bit. Sucks though -- I miss root.
Wonder if root DeLavega can be done on note 4 I know knox is a newer version and probably has the fix incorporated for that, just thinking out loud

It won't work. The guy that wrote towelroot was hired by Google to fix the exploit he found. No phones after June can be rooted that way.
Thanks for your information!!

Texts (SMS) Are sending With A +1 international Code

When sending text messages(SMS), to my contacts, They are ending up converting to a different format like if it were international friends. Because each time, the messages are being sent with a +1 international code before them.
Also because of this, my texts aren't getting delivered to my contacts .
And I have to often have to start a new thread with manually putting a zero(0) before sending a text each time.
I'm using the stock Message app.
P.S: This issue started when I updated to latest G900VVRU1ANI2 4.4.4 update.
Anyone else facing the problem or faced in the past and got it solved?
Why are you using a Verizon variant in Karachi? you should have one of the international versions.
The OP in the below linked thread is having the same problem as you:

Yes he has described the same problem which I'm also facing that's why I have already posted on his thread about the solution if he had found any.
BTW, You guys didn't face this problem?
Well if it is a GS4, then you are in the wrong sub-forum. lol
But no, I've never experienced this as I am using a VZW GS5 on a Verizon plan and network. It's probably because you are outside of the US that it's trying to input the +1 for you, and that's not going to work in Karachi.

Oops, that was a typo. I did buy a Verizon GS5 used.
No it was working perfectly fine before. The G900VVRU1ANI2 update created this issue.

Is it possible to Downgrade to the stock 4.4.2 Verizon firmware From 4.4.4 via ODIN ?
1 thing more: How do you find out whether you are having the Verizon Galaxy S5 variant or the Verizon Galaxy S5 Developer Version Variant?

I've never faced that problem. And I know you posted in that guy's thread. That was kind of my point of posting that link. No need for you to start a whole new thread of your own which is the exact same as that other guy's thread.

I just flashed from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 and forgot to do the NCG kernel thing, and then went back to 4.4.2 from 4.4.4 just fine. Worth a shot I guess. GLHF.
Anyone found a fix for this?
I really liked the NI2 update. Its buttery smooth and fingerprint scanner works really well !
Anyone?

replace "ever" with "at the moment" and that's the real answer. Buy a Nexus 6; I plan to.

Not necessarily. Kingroot has come to many devices that were headed down the unrootable path recently. We might get lucky too.
@Senior Citizen
Sir did u updated to lolipop by flashing through odin or through otg update..
