Updated to 4.4.2 using the ODIN files from the Samsung Website. To get root back (I originally used CF-Auto Root), do I use the same method?

I tried towelroot and it didn't work. I want to root so I can write to external SD. The gallery app is SO slow on the device and quickpic is much much faster. But I unfortunately can't delete or move pictures cause of the restriction. There's an app on the store that will fix it, but I need root.
I have a sprint note 3, and I'm on 4.4.4

There are only some rooting methods available for Note 3: URDLV, CF-Auto root and Towelroot.
Did you try Towelroot?
I'm looking to root a Verizon S5 running 4.4.4 (G900VVRU1ANK2). I updated to 5.0 and didn't want it so I flashed back, but towelroot doesn't work for this version either. Is there a way to step it back to 4.4.2 and it work? Thanks!

Download this, flash via Odin, then root again. You will be on NGC, 4.4.2

I was able to use towelroot to get access on this device. I haven't been able to get TWRP onto it though, or get a Rom on either.

If this is like a lot of Samsung devices then what's going on is the early firmware (NE2) was rootable with towelroot, but the more recent one (NK1) is not. Check your settings > about tablet to see which build number you're on (I'm assuming it's NK1). The most immediate solution would be to just downgrade the firmware, root, and stay with that (disable update notifications/freeze the updater app).
However, if you know what you're doing, it's only the kernel that needs to be changed. So extract the kernel file (boot.img) from both firmware files and make a tar file for each boot.img. Flash the older kernel, root with towelroot, then flash the newer kernel, and voila you're rooted on the latest build. Your call

I have not tried, sorry
I did this with the t337a, if you want I could take a shot at it. I have no way of making sure it works though. Let me know if you are interested or if anyone would be willing to test the kernel.
I own the Tab S. It was released after towelroot was patched. So recently when Kingroot update their root method and such, we now can root with kingroot on KitKat ANK1 firmwares and not trip Knox. Of course people who owned att devices said it worked and some with Verizon said it didn't work. I mean its worth a try if anyone wants to try kingroot.

Hi ive got kingroot goin and it says its rooted but when u restart it, its gone.
Has anyone been able to root a S5 after the 5.0 update was installed OTA? Can you use ODIN and go back to an Andoid 4.2 or something and then root and then flash to 5.0 thats rooted? I know it must have been asked but I cant find any information. Thanks
You can root using chainfire's auto root tool. Search CF-Auto-root and your model number on Google. It comes with odin in a zip file. I presume you know how to use it as you have mentioned it
Note: You don't need to go back to 4.2 for it.
For g900v downgrade: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...wngrade-samsung-galaxy-s5-5-0-4-4-kitkat.html
And root: http://androidbiits.com/root-verizon-samsung-galaxy-s5-sm-g900v-android-4-4-4-kitkat/
You must downgrade on the g900v

To root you must downgrade to NGC, 4.4.2. You can then upgrade and keep root.
If not, is there anything I can do to make my phone cooler without root or a ROM?
You can downgrade PL1 to OF1 through Odin (OF1 being an earlier 5.0 build) and then root that easily with the yemen tools. After that you can unlock bootloader and flash TWRP to do whatever you want.
Is there a video on How to Downgrade? I downloaded ODIN, But I dont know where to get the downgraded files.

The other tools can easily be found in this forum. After downgrading if you really want PL1 rooted you can use the stock flashable zips that are available (and root with SuperSU after flashing)
