[Q] D801 root lost after recent OTA from TMobile

All,
I need help re-rooting my phone. I had a stock recovery, rooter phone (to remove/ disable bloat). I received an update from TMobile (the version is still 4.4.2, but build is now KOT49I.D80120g. I could not stop it from applying the update and my phone lost root. I'm now unable to find a way to root it again. Towelroot does not work (your device is not supported) and ioroot says it does not work on 4.4.2.
Please help with what could I try.
Thanks a lot in advance.
wondering if you ever found the solution,. i am on that build as well.
even worse is i can't get into download mode to go back to an older version and install a custom recovery.

[Q] Can't upgrade S5 to lollipop

Hi guys,
I'm having an issue upgrading my S5 to lollipop. After I download the update, I hit install now and then the phone reboots.. then it immediately boots back up and gives me an error saying there was an error installing the update. I was previously rooted and I unrooted with SuperSu.
Is there an easy way around this or should I just upgrade through odin or something? If this is the case can someone quickly link me to a tutorial to do this? I'm a little rusty.
Thanks,
Ota
I had same issue I used Verizons Firmware repair then I did the update thru Verizons Firmware updater on my pc then work perfect, I kept getting update fail with the dead Android then I used this method and worked, I was rooted so I unrooted first after Uninstalling busybox.

[Q] Android update failed! Verizon Bluetooth update

Hey guys I'm on 4.4.2 and I used towel root to root and I did the process to flash a rom. Well when I was rooted I unrooted on Supersu on the stock rom and I updated. Today I tried to update to Verizon's OTA to fix bluetooth and I can download it OTA and install it. It boots into recovery boot and then it loads. It shows the Android guy laying down and the Error wording. When the phone boots back up it says Sorry, there was an error updating your galaxy s5 Verizon. It's been doing this all day and I really want to update to Lolipop.
Same Issue, any solutions?
I have the exact same problem, and under similar conditions. Towel Root worked for a while, but an updated unrooted my phone, now TR doesn't work anymore. So, I'm back to stock, with this Verizon bluetooth update failing everyday for what seems like an eternity.

[Q] Help Going Back To Stock!

Hello guys, I have a D802 phone and I was on Ressurection Remix 5.0 but since the official lollipop update was made avalaible, I wanted to return to stock and unroot so I could again use my warranty(for some weird reason they couldn't tell last time I took it there that it was rooted). Basically my problem is that every guide for going back to stock has the phone connected to the PC and use the flash tool. Well, I did that but when the mobile support tool opened for the upgrade, it couldn't find my phone. So I found a guide that showed you how to extract and rebuild a kdz file into a .zip. I tried that, used the UK d8023b rom ( A friend of mine who has a d802 as well, though unrooted, got the prompt to update through the pc suite and it updated his phone to d8023b, thats why i used that version), flashed it and I am now stuck in a bootloop. I have full access of recovery and adb but the phone isn't recognised by LG software. Can you please help me use my phone again? Going into download mode didn't work with the flash tool.

[Q] T-Mobile Galaxy S5 Root Lost After Phone auto-updated

Hey Guys, I'm brand new to these forums, and to this whole community so bare with me.
Basically I bought my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S5 phone around the time it came out, and I also had installed root on it via towelroot when Towel Root was first released. I did not update the phone at all for a long period of time and everything was working fine, until one day I was browsing under settings and accidentally tapped the "Software Update" button, then T-mobile auto-pushed an update onto my phone.
This update has caused the root on my phone to not work at all (Deemed useless) So I clicked SU and only a black screen popped up when I tried to open the app, so I uninstalled it, reinstalled it then got a message saying "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU Cannot install it. If you just upgraded to Android 4.3 you need to manually re-root your device" So I tried to re-root via towelroot method again. It seems the T-mobile update made my phone "Unsupported/Uncompatible" with TowelRoot's obsolete techniques, so now I'm in dire need of help.
My phone tried to push another t-mobile update (This time to upgrade to Lollipop) but it failed after attempting to install it after a reboot. So not only will my phone not update to Lollipop, but I'm not even rooted anymore and am unsure on how to get back rooted, or what to do next since I used rooting as a primary source to store apps on my SD Card. Kind of like i'm stuck in one spot? (Can't update your phone/can't root it the old method)
I'm brand new guys, Please can you break down to me what I should do, in order to obtain root again, and possibly be able to upgrade to Lollipop As well as prevent further pushed T-mobile updates? Here's some info if you need it
S5 Model Number: SM-G900T
Android Version:4.4.2
Kernel Version:3.4.0-262.. etc. (Tell me if you need the full kernel details)
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank YOU!

(Will trip KNOX and void warranty)
Or flash a pre-June 2014 KK Kernel, root with Towelroot again, then flash back your current Kernel
Is this the only solution? And also is it the right one? o.o
Can anyone else please give me some feedback on the situation? I want to make sure I do this right, please just a little helps.
