my friend updated his phone yesterday.what surprised me that his phone can't be rooted by kingroot after updating.who can tell message why?
Because you should never update before the previous exploit is verified to be working with the new update. I doubt you will see root with the new update for awhile. And there is already a 4.4.4 thread which is where this post should be.
Because he took the OTA!! Rule # 1 of root ... NEVER EVER take OTA updates!! They, more often than not, patch previous exploits that allowed the awesome developers here achieve root in the first place.

And I'm pretty sure kingo hasn't worked in some time ... TowelRoot is (was?) the latest successful root method. However, its already been reported that it's not working with this latest update. It will now be a waiting game to see when/IF it will work again

Hey Guys,
If anyone can lead me in the right direction for root once I receive my phone tomorrow I'd appreciate it. If I receive the MI9 build it would be easy but I was wondering if there is a root (and if so please supply the link) for the MJ7 build that recently came out?
Thank you in advance! Appreciate it!
There is an app out there that at the moment is taboo on XDA, as people are nervous about it collecting your phone's IMEI. Plenty of info in the general section along with a thread on their response. Plus the app has a Facebook page. Read up, see what you think, and make a decision
I'm personally waiting it out for now until I see more info. I took the MJ7 OTA to see if it'd help, and it seems to have at least some. I'd like to at least clean up the stock rom but i can live with it a bit longer.

This can root and unroot your device flawlessly.
Find your device
(N9006 works for Verizon as well)
Download the sketchy software.
While downloading this one click root method. And it installs drivers.
Take a look at these two threads.
Realize there is nothing to worry about. And join the thousands of us who are rooted with out any problems on mj7. (Or whatever the ota was. )

So you're saying upgrade to the latest OTA even if phone doesn't come with it and then do this method to root? Do you have this done on yours if you don't mind me asking?
NE5 is up on Samsung opensource!.
EDIT: It's official and includes WiFi calling!
100% stock NE5 ROM/Kernel/Modem Odin flashable tar Thanks to @garwynn (there are faster mirrors within the thread just look!)
Stock rooted Deodexed/Odxed NE5 ROM Thanks to @CNexus
It's rolling out to users as we speak! If you get the OTA please grab it for us (I forget the location of it) and upload it so we can sideload it.

NE5 will be 4.4.2 still.
Hopefully Wifi Calling?
Sounds like the next build of RDDT and/or RODT will have some wi-fil calling, should fix all these non-compatability issues you've been having Joe!

I had a feeling it'd be the WiFi calling update!
If someone can pull the update file name, I believe the rest of the URL will read like this:
ttp://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/sprint_samsung_g900p/INSERTFILENAMEHERE.zip
I couldn't even check for it. I clicked 'check now for update' and got a message saying that my OS has been modified in an unauthorized way, lol. I've never seen that before. Usually I can at least download an OTA.
Did anyone get the update yet?

Are you rooted, or did you switch to ART from dalvik runtimes?

Yea just rooted and stock. Haven't switched to ART
I was rooted and had custom rom...
I ended up odin back to stock and still got the modified error with no root. I looked in about and saw my baseband was ncb, and my software was ncd, so you might wanna check that. Also I read someplace that knox software disabled can throw the modified error also

Based on what you said I replaced the insertfilename.zip with the version id G900PVPU1ANE5 and got a 404 error. I did include the H that was missing from the address as well.

Ha ha. No, no, no. The name will be complex and have lots of random letters in it. That's why we need someone to pull the actual name they get with their OTA.

I don't think it would be good to update your phoen with it rooted but you could always try and if it messes up you have a community of developers/users here to help you!
---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------
You would also likely loose root if it does work. I'm not sure cause I don't use stock. I'm running cloudy g2 3.3 and it runs perfect and fast.
Did anyone get a notification for an update today? The version is "PB1" (LRX21T.G900VVRU2BPB1). It appears to just be a security patch. https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/galaxy-s5-update/ Assuming someone will dump it out, root it, and we'll be able to flash with FlashFire? I've pre-ordered a S7 so I don't know if I'll even try before I ditch this phone.
I'll give it a shot, assuming I can trigger the update.
---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------
Update has been downloaded. Now lets see if I can pull it.
I'm currently pulling/uploading the update.zip for @muniz_ri or @jrkruse to look at for us.
Hopefully it can be rooted using the new root method and they can make a ROM or 2 for us.

I'm just waiting on the Odin tar so you can make us a lovely version with the OD5 bootloader in it
Does anyone know if it is 5.1? I was just chatting with Samsung they said it was but I updated and it showed it was still 5.0... So did my phone not fully install it or what?
Someone confirm, this appears to update the bootloader and break our root method
EDIT: All is good
I tried multiple times to update to this ROM today, and I failed multiple times lol. I've tried enough for today. I might try again tomorrow.

Still good ol' 5.0. Change list is the same as well. Just a security update from what I gather.
just update with flashfire via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65593555&postcount=724 using the same keeproot method? Also, I've never been able to use xposed. Do I have to have deodexed for that?

Actually, I doubt you are going to see 5.1 as Samsung is releasing 6.0 for the S5 in May.

I have been getting a notice to install this update and I have been ignoring it because I am afraid it will stop me from being able to activate a Wi-Fi hotspot through PdaNet/foxfi. Has anyone installed this update who uses PdaNet/Foxfi as a hotspot? If so does it still work?

Several weeks, maybe a month ago one of the android news sites listed the Samsung timetable for the phones that would get it. It wasn't carrier specific but rather device specific and the S5 is slated for a May release from Sammy according the article I read.
Lets say for example you use one of the existing tutorials to unlock the bootloader and root a Nokia 5 running on Nougat, is it possible to then upgrade to Oreo (Or Pie when it rolls out) while keeping the root/unlock? Usually phones don't accept updates when they detect they've been rooted, or the update will remove the root, something like that.
Note that I don't own this phone, I just like to know things before I get mine.
You can root with android 8 but can't upgrade from 7 to 8

What are you saying? You CAN upgrade from 7 to 8 as long as your bootloader is unlocked and you're using stock recovery. However you will have to root again after upgrading, since the upgrade process will overwrite your root
Oh and sometimes you may brick your phone and have to flash ost

When Pie rolls out you wait for the new method of rooting the phone.
