I saw this posted earlier. I think the big question is does he release it and thus burn an exploit or does he wait for 4.3 in hopes that it is still there and thus provides a root option for 4.3 as well. I'm not sure which is my preference. The only thing I personally miss by not being rooted is the tethering, which I only use in emergency situations anyway, so its not crucial for me. However, it is nice to have freedom from the carrier release cycle if we get a way to flash roms without an unlocked bootloader.

you got any idea what was going on with the order in which he clicked on things in the about phone menu? was that part of the exploit or what? I couldn't tell if it was doing something or he was just showing you it was the OTA.

Just proving the version.
I would rather that he wait and see if the exploit is still available in 4.3. There's a way to go back to the first build from this update, so if you really need root that badly, you can always just do that. Once SafeStrap is ready, we'll probably see a zip of the update that can be flashed, so I find little reason for him to burn this flaw right now.

You can't. Jcase stated in another thread that the exploit he used wasn't practical for most users so he probably won't release it. Was more a proof of concept

U need to downgrade back to 10o and contact att for the q update. When you have the q update installed use the manual root method for 10o from autoprime. Skip adb step 5. Once rooted take the kitkat update and root will stick.
Thanks for the reply but that sounds like too much work. I'll just wait for an easier method. Thank you

even the s3 wasnt all that great.my wife got one i touched it for about 10min. instantly got rid of it. nothing spectacular.
I rooted mine on 4.2 via kingoapp.com. Root stayed with the 4.4.2 update but if it didn't I was going back to Kingo to root again. I've rooted 4 different phones with it, the last being a T-Mobile Nexus 5 with KitKat and it's always worked fast and easy. Some people bad mouth it but it works for me.

First, plug phone into computer, and install updater software from the phone that is on the device in 'Installer Mode'. Take the download on the PC, then follow directions below, and you can still have root after.

Hi again,
I installed the upgrade assistant in installer mode but for some reason it is not picking up the new NE9 update on my computer. See attached print screen. Very strange.. It sees the update on my phone to download though.:cyclops: Do you know why this is and how I can get it to see the update on the upgrade assistant as you mentioned?
Kind Regards
Can you explain why you want the update so bad? You do realize that rooting and accepting official otas is completely contradictory, correct? OTAs are generally what fix things like what towelroot exploits. If you accept official OTA, you will likely lose root.
But can't I just re root after the ota? I guess the reason I want the Ota because I heard of camera enhancements and stability fixes

No. OTA have patches for known security flaws as well. The flaw that towelroot relies on is closed after the new OTA. Meaning, no more root.
edit: in this case I believe folks have figured out a work around for keeping root with the update. In general though, if you value root and what it provides you do not accept official releases.

@ks3rv3rg I believe the links mentioned above provide a workaround for the Root to be kept after updating.
As for the problem nick, I can't help you there. I haven't personally take it as I see taking OTA's is silly with a rooted phone you can modify to be much more. Perhaps someone else who has done it will chime in...
Thank you both for your perspectives.. Plus, I can always just wait for a ROM that currently has the update installed.

Titanium Backup
I am not sure if someone already post this but here is my question.
I have had android tablet in the past and have always rooted them for games and TitaniumBackup. I recently got a NOTE 3 from Verizon and was looking to ROOT that also as well but to not avail. For random reasons Verizon locked the boot loader(If I am wrong plz correct me). I just updated to 5.0 Lollipop. Is my device still unrootable ( if that is a term. DERP!!!). The model number is sm-n900v. Can anyone help me? Post links on how to's or anything any help would be grateful. Thank You.
Yea no root
for lollipop 5.0 for verizon note 3, no known root method is out nor available yet.
if you go back to 4.4.4 you'll be able to root some time soon

Hi guys, I'm on bone stock 4.4.4 and Verizon is pushing the 5.0 update as we speak.
I've had the note three on stock for too long and I need some new options for multi window etc so I need root. Am I seeing that a root for 4.4.4 is in progress? If so, I'll stay there, but I really want to strap/update to 5.0 afterwords. Anyone have some thoughts about the difficulty of maintaining root on the switch to 5.0?
i would love to be kept int he loop.. i was on 4.4.2 adn foolishly updated to 4.4.4 i just want root again... and if 5.0 can root i would update too

hey guys shifty here w a lil bit of an update i got root sort of going a couple of nights ago it was only temporary (sadly) otherwise id have screen shots for you my devs that are helpin me are taking a closer look as for if it will work for you i have no idea if your on SU3TL-38 (OTA NOT ROOTED PREIMG) id suggest going here http://motofirmware.center/files/category/23-droid-turbo/
then find the SU3TL-39 update and side load it if you do not know what side loading is ill explain it if you already know then skip this ok so after downloading the VRZ_XT1254_SU3TL-39_39_CFC.xml.zip (yes thats actually the name of it as i have the file) you plug your phone in via USB now you will take this zip and move into a file location i usually made it simple like DICM or something then boot your turbo into recovery power + vol down to get into the bootloader use volume buttons till you see recovery select that now youll see a dead andy and text that says no command i usually got passed that by pressing vol down then power for a few seconds then click apply update from SD then go to your folder w the .zip then update simple as that...
Now shifty why update to SU3TL-39? well thats the firmware im working on my turbo never had SU3TL-38 and i cant downgrade so i cant give you my word it would work and if your on SU4TL-44 it will not work i can give you my word on this so like i said temp root was successful i will not release root until i get perma root thanks for the support guys i know theres tuts for side loading but i thought id add it just incase someone whos lower than SU4TL-44 and not n my firmware can get there for root now everyone should know how to check there build number if you dont i dont think you should be rooting xD but yes shifty is on this guys i might work on SU4TL-44 later on so DONT WORRY updated users thats all for now
Cool man. You'll make a lot of people happy with this. Just news someone else is working on it is good news.
Yea man just people to will work on it but all that matters is root on the device I just hope I can get my exploit out and that people try it and give me feedback
