Software update for note 3?

This morning I got a notification on my note saying there is an update for the Verizon note.
I am rooted and am using all sorts or apps like nova and texted.
Will this update remove or break anything?

Don't take the update, you'll lose root. Open titanium backup and freeze sdm 1.0 to stop the update notifications.

Flash the MJ7 odin file floating around in the update thread in general.

You are correct, I lost root.
I am a noob when it comes to android. I came from the Iphone world. Can I re flash with the De vaga? To get root back?

Frooze it with Titanium Backup Pro
I frooze the SDM part with Titanium backup. I hope this works - this morning I delayed the update to 5pm so I hope when this time rolls around that I won't be bothered with the update. I am running the N900VVRUBMI9 baseband version and really hope that the safestrap method works and that we soon get custom roms that will make this a thing of past.

DO NOT DO THIS. Flashing back to MI9 from the new update will fail in odin and at worst will softbrick you and you'll need to flash the pit file

[Q] Upgrade to 4.4.2 after rooting with cf-autoroot?

Hi!
Got my N9005 with MJ7, so I went and rooted with cf auto-root.
As I'm on 4.3 stock, what are my options for upgrading?
What are the implications of the new 4.4.2 bootloader ?

I can live with that as I like the s-pen features.
Should I just flash any firmware?
I see on sammobile there isn't yet a Croatian rom with 4.4.2.
Should I just flash another one if so how to choose and what is the best way to flash?
Will my root survive or will I have to re-root?
Thanks!

Mine didn't survive and now I can't re root for some reason

Chainfire has a 4.4.2 version of CF auto-root out, did you try that?

Yeah that's the only one I tried. Seems to install fine but when booted back up supersu isn't even installed

It's been less than 24 hours... have a little patience.

Try it out and let us know. When I get to my computer later I will be experimenting with some methods.

Trying to Root AT&T Galaxy S4 i337 4.4.2 methods fail, why?
I am trying to root my AT&T Galaxy S4 i337UCUFNB1 android 4.4.2 kitkat. I have tried the towelroot method by Geohot and it fails because the phone reboots and I've also tried the "motochopper" method :"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40747604":4382 , which looked like it was going to work and then I get this error in the image provided. I don't know what I am doing wrong I followed the steps of both methods, if someone can help me figure this out I would be VERY grateful!

What is the cool way to root a G870A these days?

Towel Root isn't working and, as far as I know, is not being updated anymore. Every guide I find on rooting this device points to that tool..

If you are on lollipop then you cant, if you are on 4.4.4 or lower you can downgrade to NCE and towelroot.

How would I downgrade without root?

Thanks. I haven't gotten an OTA or OTG update, so I'm still on 4.4.4 AOA1.

I should note my earlier instructions were a little wrong, i forget what the active name is, but NCE is for the 900A, so you'll need to find 4.4.2 for the att active, i believe its in the same nce thread though of you checkk att s5 general.

Kingo root MIGHT work but the Yemen tool is the only one I'm aware of that works

Download an app called towelroot it will give you one click root access from your phone.

afaik, towelroot will not work on OB6/OF1 (5.x.x) stock ROMs. The vuln that it used was patched in those releases.
Correct me if I am wrong please.
