Hey there everyone. I'm not new to Android but I am new to wanting to Root my device. I switched over to the dark side for about 6 months and had to get away so I traded my iphone 5c(junk) for an S4 on Verizon network. The issue at hand is that the previous owner who happened to work for Verizon updated the damn thing religiously. It's currently running 4.4.2 on the FNC5 band. From what I'm gathering there isn't a way to currently root this build? I've seen a tutorial on downgrading back to I believe MK2 which is 4.2.2?? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I may have to try that method if at all possible. Or should I just wait.. and suffer with an un-rooted S4.... or just trade for an HTC one... lol
Thanks everyone and don't hurt me too much... I honestly have been trying to learn the past 2-3 days and have been slightly confused.. but it seems to be making more sense with Rooting and installing ROM's.
By the way...in Odin mode... the knox kernel lock says 0X0 as well as the knox warranty void.... odes this mean I can root the device normally!?!?!
Wait a minute, what is your model?
International or Verizon?
If you have Verizon s4, then you are in wrong section, go Verizon S4 section, you will get more help there.
For the information on the i9505 , which is very similar to Verizon s4, you can root on 4.4.2 but you will trigger the KNOX as the flag will set to 0x1, which means lost warranty

Hello everyone, I can not find any information on how to root the Note 10.1 2014 edition. Can someone please post a link to instructions showing the best way to root the device?
Thank you
I think note 3 solutions should work as they have the same hw.
But if you root now you'll flag Knox counter on bootloader and this void your device warranty. There is no way to reset Knox counter.
However in note 3 development forum a Dev has released a modified official firmware that call some root files from /sdcard/ without flagging Knox counter so without lose warranty.
So I suggest you to wait until the same developer modify note 10 firmware with the same solution

Patience young one. It was just officially released and tablets don't get the same first day treatment and adoption like phones do. It'll be posted in the Development forums when there is one, or work being done to discuss what is going on in the process.

Thank you guys for the help.
Hello all,
New Note 3 user but have rooted Droid1 and Nexus in the past. I am a little confused with the Note3 because I have read about tripping "knox" and do not want to void the warranty. Is knox tripped on the phone itself or do the results get sent somewhere else? Also, what is the best thread/guide to start for someone who wants to root the device for superuser only, not interested in customization. On version 4.4.2 - Verizon
Thanks!

I Have A Samsung Galaxy S5 G900T1 And Wanted To Know If Tmobile's Lollipop Update Would Work On The G900T1 Seeing That Tmobile An MetroPCS Are The Same If I Downloaded The Offical Rom For The Update.....?
Yes, it will work. Those phones are almost identical.
But I don't know if that would advance the Knox counter ... Something to do a little research on

Has anyone tried this yet? If so what happened to the Knox counter? Last question and a n00b one at that, what will happen to the carrier logo when booting?
