4.4.3 seemed to have broken FoxFi on my Note 3. Had to Root. I'm thinking of switching to S5. Anyone know if still works on 4.4.4 WITHOUT Root?

[Q] Rooting 4.4.2 and AllshareCast

Hi, im have a N9005 LTE and have upgraded to the offcial 4.4.2
question is, would rooting kill the allsharecast feature?
Also, what's the best way to root 4.4.2?

I would say use cf auto root. Don't know though if it will break allsharecast.

I do not think just rooting would do that (since you can hide the custom status with xposed and wanam xposed, eventually even the root itself with RootCloak). However I do not know if knox status could be hidden.

I have a rooted Note 3 with 4.4.2 and my allshare function is working fine so you don't have to worry
Yep, it's only when you replace the recovery you start to get problems....

what root method did you use? did you have to replace any system file to enable allsharecast again?

I was able to root my Note 10.1 2014 last night. I installed TWRP and used its built in function to root which didn't break allsharecast..
was wondering if I can do the same with note 3.

I used CF-Auto-Root. No I didn't have to replace any file.

Rooting on 4.4.4

Does anyone know if there is a way to root the Note 3 if it is on KitKat 4.4.4? I have tried using Odin but it fails. Perhaps I cannot do it with the 4.4.4 build?

Exploits got closed your screwed until they find a new method. And I'm 98% any dev working on it is saving exploits for 5.0 not 4.4.4 so until that drops I doubt 4.4.4 will get root after the fact and the only way you might have root on a 4.4.4 note 3 is if it is preroot or a dev unit.

[Q] root verizon Samsung Galaxy note3 sm900v 4.4.4 question

Stock verizon note3 sm900v
Android 4.4.4
I'm not finding much in ways of options for root currently. Is it possible to flash my phone back to 4.4.2, root once there, then sideload 4.4.4? Using something like Odin maybe?

Take a look: HERE.
SM-N900V
I have tried everything to root my device: SM-N900V 4.4.4 KTU84P.N900VVRUDNK1
I haven't had any luck with the following:
Kingo
VRoot (IRoot)
Towel Root
SuperOneClick
The referenced URL ^^^
Is there not a way to root a stock 4.4.4 SM-N900V yet? If not how can I downgrade to an OS that will work? Any leads would be great! :good:

Maybe this VIDEO helps you. It's for one sm-n900a.
Perhaps it would if i could find the corresponding files for the n900v. Any ideas where i can find them?
i found everything but this file:N900VVRUCNC4_N900VVZWCNC4_VZW.zip
Update
After some extensive searching i found the files and hope to attempt to downgrade according to video posted ^ with my SM-N900V. I found a great site for FW versions for anyone encountering this problem in the future: galaxynote3update
update
This method does not work on Verizon. I found the Verizon equivalent files and attempted this but got a SW REV CHECK fail when trying to download 4.4.2 FW. ATT must not have a version check in theirs. I have exhausted every method out there. Hoping someone comes up with a one click root for this configuration soon cuz not having root sucks
Did you ever succeed?
I just received a new Note 3 from my warranty company. I was hoping it would have 4.4.2 on it
but it has the same version as yours. I really could use root.
Any luck with your phone?
Hey you all
I have found a few pages on rooting our Verizon note 3 4.4.4. I do not know how to attach the link but if you look it up in XDA Verizon Note 3 you will find it there. Thanks to designgears.

Upon further research I found out that if your phone is n900vvrudnk1 it is not compatible to root. It seems that sammy has us under lock-down for now. If we upgrade to the lollipop 5.0 will this upgrade boot loaders also?

[Q] Is there root for the official Verizon lollipop ota update?

Just updated from android 4.4.4 to 5.o on my Verizon note 3 sm-n900v in hope that 5.0 would have a root exploit. Can I root the Verizon note 3 5.0???

As of right now, no. There IS however the possibility of returning to NK1 from 5.0, so if something gets released for NK1 and not 5.0, then that's an option.

Are you on 4.4.4? If not and you have SS, you can flash Jasmine Rom. Which is really just a stock lollipop Rom with root.
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Free mobile app
Nothing past 4.4.2 can be rooted as of now, you cannot downgrade to an earlier version to root.

One click root

Has anybody tried One Click Root after upgrading to lollipop via ota. Does it successfully root your Verizon note 3?

You need Towelroot-v3 to root

How would Towel Root-V3 root 5.0? My understanding is Towel Root only works for older kernels.
When I try to run towel root v3 I get "this phone isn't currently supported"
That is because it's not. There is no root for 5.0. The guy that created towelroot(geohot) went to work for google. So now he patches exploits instead of publicly releasing them.
If you want root and a unlocked bootloader then buy a Nexus or switch to T-mobile.
So does anyone think that there will ever be root for the verizon note 3?
Does anyone think that there will be root for the verizon note 5?
Always possible since they got it with the S6.
