[Q] 4.4.2 root?

Has anyone found a method to root the 4.4.2 kitkat OTA yet? If so a link would be great! Thanks in advance!

I also am desperate for someone much better at this than I to find a method. I hate the OTA! If we can't root, has anyone figured out how to remove the odin write protection so we can revert to the leak?
I'm stuck at this point waiting for a root method too. Does anyone know if Kingo will eventually add kitkat ? Have they been slowly upgrading the tool so far?

every one of those were saying no root method yet. So thanks for the help..
Chances are it will be a long while before we get any sort of root. I willingly took NC4 and have no regrets. Maybe one day we will get an unlock.

Fair question but i don't recall seeing many stickies on things you can't do
Also something like this requires little more than a Google search really

Perhaps, but maybe it will bring more awareness to it. I also installed the update without doing research to see if it could be rooted after, and now am sorely disappointed I cannot load cyanogenmod on it.
I've been searching all over and it still doesn't look like there's a solution for it. Hopefully somebody more experienced comes along, reads this, and figures out a solution for the rest of us mere mortals
Refer to the sticky that says do not OTA update.

with a BOUNTY of $18,500 for root it will certainly be no secret when/if its accomplished.

Refer to my utter lack of time travel capabilities, else I'd have flashed NC2 in the first place and not be in this pickle. (EDIT--should read "reading" capabilities, not "travel"!)

Galaxy Note 3 first time rooter
Hi everyone, newcomer here. Thanks for providing this community to help people out and thanks to Chainfire for making CF-Auto-Root.
I have a Galaxy Note 3, and I've never rooted before because I really like Touchwiz and the useful features it provides. I've read the main post for CF-Auto-Root, so I understand this is supposed to be the easiest root method that's supposed to retain stock Touchwiz and nothing more.
Before I take the plunge, I just wanted to clarify my understanding to make sure I really do want to go ahead with rooting my Note.
1. When you say CF auto root is rooting my phone, does that mean it's just achieving a "state of being" with the phone, and not really installing or modifying anything else with Touchwiz (besides SuperSU)? As in, everything is the same as before, Touchwiz is the same as before, and the only thing different is that I've gained permission to access more things in the software?
2. My understanding is that I shouldn't lose any data, apps, home screen app layouts, etc?
3. Will I lose any functionality in Touchwiz? Like S-Pen features, Samsung apps, etc?
4. If I receive an update to 4.4.4 or 5.0, will I lose this cf-auto-root state?
Thanks everyone for helping out!

CF-Auto-Root flashes custom recovery, which installs the su binary and SuperSU application and then sets back the default stock recovery. Everything else remains unchanged, including TouchWiz.

You lose KNOX and all features related to it.

Most likely, though there is a chance, that su binary will not be removed, in that case you keep the root.
Hi, I have a Note 3 model number SM-N9005 which is factory unlocked with no carrier on 4.4.2 in the UK.
I'm trying to root using the CF auto root thread instructions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466423
I am unsure what file to download and was wondering if this one would work with my phone?
It is the second download option listed in the third post of the CF auto root thread.

Yes it is. That download is for Note 3 with Device Type = hlte and Product Name = hltexx.
Just to make sure, as the download is based on Device Type and Product Name, check these info for your device with this app: Phone INFO ★Samsung★ (in GENERAL INFO section).

Noob question
*edit* I didn't see the older question asking the same thing sorry you can ignore this
Hello everyone I am new to rooting phones and I was looking into CF-Auto Root since it is said to be beginner friendly. I was wondering if using this method would wipe my phone of everything I had on it or would it just give me root access while leaving everything else on the phone the same.

I know XDA is a reputable site, so I don't have to worry as much, but I know that theoretically speaking, downloading things outside of the official Android app store poses a risk for being malware or spyware.
So I'm only asking this in the spirit of just practicing utmost caution, how would I know that the CF-Auto-Root file, which can be found through the link below, is genuine and untampered with?

My CPU is a Snapdragon, but the suggested rom for the EU version is the package for the Qualcomm CPU.
Thank you.

On your website with all the downloads for the CF-auto-root there is not an option for SM-N900V (Verizon) phones. Is this one that has not been tested yet?
good

[Q] Verizon Note 3 (N900V) Root

Dear Xda Developers
dear teams first of all i am sorry if any one has already posted such kind of thread i just want to know that on XDA great teams and people are working together on different devices to make them better for common people use.
today i have same Question for you all
i am searching for posts regarding verizon note 3 lollipop root and have not found any solution one click root does not work towelroot does not work root de la vegas not working in short nothing is successful against rooting Verizon Note 3 SM N900V.!! i just want to say that there are thousands of developers but still could not make a simple root for this device. kindly do not forget this device there are a lot of users like me waiting for root kindly do something about give it your attention guys root is needed.!!
Note: if it cannot be rooted on 5.0 then kindly make a root on 4.4.4 so those who are on 5.0 revert back to 4.4.4 via Odin (i have tried reverting back to 4,4,4 using Odin and it worked) and then can root 4.4.4 if you guys successful make root available for Verizon Note 3 SM N 900V running on 4,4,4 please let us know if there is currently any dev working on this device??
one more there is a new method knows as multiboot or something similar which is used to run dual roms on this device i had seen video on Youtube and could not sort out how to do it as i do not have root and without root nothing is possible kindly someone pay attention to this device. as its been a long time since no root>> [/SIZE][/B][/B]
Lots of us is waiting for it but there is no solution for now ...hope it ll be soon ..
Really?? Every other thread is asking the same questions.
/rant
Well.. I think at least read the other post about this topic, before posting something like this.. but anyways I'll give you a quick heads up.
Basically the main reason that root can't be done by now it's cause of Verizon blocking the bootloader on lollipop also banning the kernel from 4.4.2 where root was possible.
Another point why root hasn't been accomplished by now is cause the people who are able to accomplish that are already working for some company's who pays them to patch those kinds of vulnerability and some others are focused in his school or PhD.
So.. before posting such a request read a little bit son you can be aware of what's going on.
Cheers!

I've done a bit of a research on Ping pong root... it seems it's only for note4 and s6 devices.
So I said let's give it a try who knows what might happen.. so I installed.
At first I thought it will give a message like device not supported but no actually it installs supersu but at the moment of pressing Get root! It gives me a message that supersu is not installed.
So... No. Ping Pong Root still does not work for us yet.
I'll keep up with that thread to see if it comes in handy to help us get root access.

I tried the King root dated 13 Jun, and it didnt work either.
Bummer. Was hoping since the S6 was 5.+ with root, we might get lucky. Oh well...

Samsung S5 Active Root? *6.0.1

I'm sure there's been many posts on how to root this device before. But my S5 is AT&T, and just received the Marshmallow update last week. Not to mention the last samsung I had attempted to root (S4, 4.4.1 kitkat) didn't end too well.
Can anyone give me links to forums OR if you know how to root my device, care to help me?
-Jos3ph Tayl0r
(jack_null)
You'll not get root access on that s5 active if it's on marshmallow due to the bootloader being locked. I have one and the only reason I have root on it is because I still have the OC5 bootloader on it so it will forever be on TMS5. Sorry buddy.

I do believe they have a way to downgrade back to lollipop now and get root access on lollipop but you will need to check your build version/number and see if it matches the one in their instructions. Here's one for s5active which is what I have but I don't see the one for s5. On another note my g870 build has been g900 for as long as I've had it.
