[Q] n900v 4.3 towelroot v3 to 4.4.2 root

Xda,
I have a refurbished Verizon Galaxy Note 3 with Stock Android 4.3 baseband N900VVRUBMJE. I successfully rooted it today with Geohot's towelroot v3 apk. SuperSU asked to remove Knox software and I said yes. Knox shows 0x0. I would like to upgrade to Android 4.4.2 or Hyperdrive 4.4.2 maintain root and not trip Knox. A long time ago on my last Galaxy Note 3 I rooted using safestrap and Odin. With towel root I am not sure what's actually been done to the phone so I don't know where to start and what to do to upgrade to 4.4.2. I just know that I don't want to take the OTA update.
Any help is welcomed.
Thanks,
Tazius

You can not take official OTA firmware updates on a rooted phone. Best way to prepare your phone is to Odin back to stock then take the official OTA update. Everything you need to do this is found here in this this trusty guide. Good luck.

CF Auto Root not working?
I didn't know there was one that did work on the sm-g900v with I think it's version boc1 for 4.4.4.
Yea looks like there isn't a version released for that model S5 yet
Downgrade to 4.4.2 pre-June 2014 and use Towelroot?

Hello:
I have one Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910W8) with firmware 5.0.1 (LRX22C.N910W8VLU1B0F2). I try all different ways that I found in internet to root these device and not work.

THANKS!
Suggestion: try searching the forum.
There is a no way to root marshmallow as of now
Downgrade to lollipop either ok3 firmware or pb1
and use Jr Kruse ok3 root method on xda in the s5 verizon forum
Then install safestrap and then search XDA forums for how to install rooted mm roms using safestrap on a locked bootloader
