[Q] Curious?

i have the Verizon Note 3 on Android 4.4.4 Model Number SM-N900V with Baseband Version N900VVRUDNJ6 i took the update yesterday to 4.4.4 via the Verizon Software Utility App on my computer and was wondering if there is a verifiable and working method for a Root process for this? ive done some light research and have yet to come across anything that would help. Also awhile back i had done a towelroot and when i would restart my phone it would have a Unlocked lock icon with the word "custom" under the Galaxy Note 3 icon on the boot and now that i have taken the update it no longer has the Unlocked Lock with custom underneath it. Any suggestions on how to Root or Get Lollipop on this device? Not the familiar with all the rooting process and whatnot so anything helps!!!
There is no root method yet for 4.4.4 unfortunately

[Q] GT-i9506 Safe root

Hello
My S4 got lollipop this weekend, (I9506XXUDOA6) and i want to root it without tripping knox. Is there any way to do this? Ive tryed towelroot or kingoroot but nothing worked
thanks in advance
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't believe you can downgrade the Android 5.0.1 modem to an earlier version and root using Towelroot. CF Autoroot still works, but it will trip Knox.
Yes thats the case.. I dont want to trip knox and i wont try to downgrade the modem.. Ok maybe patience is what i need
Im just facing some curious lags on my phone that have no sense... For example in the recent apps, on facebook, on messenger, and on swiftkey keyboard.. But i have to admit that battery is at its best. On kitkat with normal use, the phone was dead for about 20 hours, and now on lollipop for about 2 and a half days i guess? Does anyone know how to fix those lags or minimize them?
My main concern, and something I'll have to do further research into, is whether I'd lose my SIM unlock on an upgrade. I used RegionLock Away to unlock my S4 after repairing it. The unlock survived the restoration of Android 4.4.2, but I have my concerns as to whether it would survive an upgrade to 5.0.1. Especially as downgrading the modem apparently is not possible.
It might simply be easier for me to find a custom Touchwiz ROM and install it instead, but there aren't many of them as of yet.
Can anyone confirm that there is no way to saferoot a s4 lte-a with official lollipop?

[Q] Kingo rooting and N910C

Hi all,
Kingo released the a new version of their software (1.3.2) in which they indicate that it now supports rooting the note 4 N910C.
Did anyone try this yet and if so, can they verify that knox is not tripped in this rooting process?
Also, please do tell which baseband and kernel did you have when you rooted using Kingo
I just got the note 4 and would love to know if this method keeps the warranty. I intend to root and keep the original ROM, just want to get TB on the phone to clear up the bloatware.
Thanks in advance.

I Want to Root, But The Cell Gods Will Not Allow It

I have a Note 3 (SM-N900W8 - Telus) that I have had for about 6 months. I have had an original Galaxy S and an S3 which were both rooted.
My phone updated to Lollipop so I had to forgo rooting since everything I read said I couldn't root 5.0 with the new bootloader.
I read about downgrading to Kitkat 4.4.2 so I could root and yesterday I took a chance and did it. I used the official 4.4.2 ROM from Sammobile
and using Odin, I flashed it and after a few tries, I got it to work. Now that I am back on Kitkat, I tried Kingroot (the APK) and it failed to root
my phone.
De La Vega now says it can not root 4.4.2, so my question is, is 4.4.2 rootable? I have read a lot about rooting and there are so many opinions
about what works and what doesn't that I wanted to post here to see if I could get a consensus about this. I know many people are rooted
on 4.4.2, but I just want to know the best way without tripping Knox.
Thanks,
Ian
Anyway, I used Kingo Root on my PC to root my Note 3 and it worked. Knox was not tripped and everything works properly.

Hi!
Root always trigger KNOX counter
Do you want still root your phone?
I really want to root, I always rooted all my phones but for example If it triggers knox. Then somehow I have a problem with the phone and want to send it to the warranty, can I flash a stock rom and get knox back to 0x0?
I meant is there a way to recover knox 0x0 status on a rooted phone?
