Will this New root method work on this phone??? Or just for 9505 ver. Phone was rooted before I install Kit Kat updates. But now when I click Super SU app it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. Thanks for any help on this New root method.
It should work on your device. Remember, though, it just roots, still no custom recovery other than safestrap

After I root with Towelroot, will I still be able to get the 4.4.3 Update OTA when it comes out?? Also if I then do get 4.4.3 and install, will I keep my boot?? Or back to 0 and have to wait for a way to root it?

I'm only guessing based on experience on other devices. Generally the ota will work but you do lose root. So yes, there will probably need to be a new and different root method once 4.4.3 comes out.
Also, if you have root and modify or delete any system files the ota will fail.

Thanks jd1639, will just wait till 4.4.3 since maybe not that long away. But AT&T sure does not get in any hurry. Hope you had a nice Father's Day.

From what I have read it only works on NC1 firmware. Users reported that it didn't work on NB1.

I got a used phone. Did not check the version. It has the ucuemj6 firmware. 4.3 update. When I use the new method to root by copying the pwn and the script file to the sd card, Knox and SE kicks in and the permission is denied to the shell. I tried killing various Knox and Se Android processes.
I tried running from adb shell. Again adb is denied permission.
But nothing works.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

This isn't an official version its a leaked version of mj6 the real update won't be out till 11/13/13. There's only one known method to root the device but was deemed not a safe way to root the device. I'll let you figure out the root method just READ and your answer will come.

Yes correct the bootlaoader has been locked since the mf3 firmware the previous firmware before this...safestrap is a work around that doesn't mess with the stock ROM slot and you are able to flash only 4.2.2 Roms with safestrap. Since your on the LEAKED version on 4.3 there is no other options at the moment besides rooting and the root apps like wanam xposed, xposed installer, nottach xposed. Etc. People on Verizon hasn't found anything yet about unlocking the boot loader so until the official 4.3 releases for us just check both the Verizon thread and our at&t thread.

Its not reccomended on xda but you can root the phone with VRoot but it installs a Chinese superuser into your phone. I've got it running with no problems so if you want to root it you can use the VRoot method

I can't see a signature in the mobile app, so forgive me if it is stated. This may not work if he is in US. The i337 is not listed as a compatible model, most likely because of the locked bootloader.
That app sounds great though. I will have to remember it for other unlocked Samsung phones.

Odin probably wouldn't work because we can't get custom recoveries onto our devices.
Any other root methods available for 4.4.2?
You mean it's been a whole WEEK and we don't root for this yet???
What are we paying all these devs for?
/sarcasm
I just updated to 4.4.2 latest. Im having a hard time finding a suitable method to root this G2. Is it really there? I mean is there a method to root on 4.4.2? I can search well on this phone app :/ i need a link i will be so much thankful

Downgrade and root, then apply a upgrade zip that doesn't unroot with a custom recovery.

Got the KK OTA today, installed and got ready to root again.

There is no root for 4.4.2 yet !!!
Only workarounds involving going back to 4.2.2 first.

How would you flash anything other than kdz or tot when you are on 4.4.2 and don't have root or custom recovery in the first place?

this root seems alot more complicated than the one for MF3.
The direct root for NC1 is called towelroot. That thread also mentions this.

Turn on your OTA. Within one or two days AT&T will update your phone to 4.4.2 and NC1 firmware. Then you use towelroot .
If the OTA did not happen within two days, you might need to odin the stock MF3 then use the update software function to get OTA.
I turned in the ota and it downloaded the update but it won't update it. It keeps failing and it says my firmware in up to date and u have to wait 23 hours to do it again.

Sometimes, if you have rooted rom, it could happen.
Like I said, wait one or two days to see whether OTA successfully updated. If not you need to odin the stock MF3 to get OTA working..

Sometime OTA does not work if you were rooted. That happened to my while I was with android 2.xx .
So every time I want an OTA, I odin the stock rom.
