i have the Verizon Note 3 on Android 4.4.4 Model Number SM-N900V with Baseband Version N900VVRUDNJ6 i took the update yesterday to 4.4.4 via the Verizon Software Utility App on my computer and was wondering if there is a verifiable and working method for a Root process for this? ive done some light research and have yet to come across anything that would help. Also awhile back i had done a towelroot and when i would restart my phone it would have a Unlocked lock icon with the word "custom" under the Galaxy Note 3 icon on the boot and now that i have taken the update it no longer has the Unlocked Lock with custom underneath it. Any suggestions on how to Root or Get Lollipop on this device? Not the familiar with all the rooting process and whatnot so anything helps!!!
There is no root method yet for 4.4.4 unfortunately

I've found root methods for previous versions of lollipop for the AT&T variant S5 Active but it seems to me that there may not be a method for the most up to date firmware. Has anyone successfully rooted the S5 Active on OF3 firmware? If so please enlighten me!
I've been searching for a few weeks now. While out of town, I found a tweet for srsroot that said OF3 IS now supported. However, I have not tried it yet.
The tweet went a little something like this: #SRSRoot: samsung SAMSUNG-SM-G870A (Build: LRX21T.G870AUCU2BOF3) #Android 5.0 Now Supported...
I hope it's real; I'm going to try it tonight. Good luck
Tell me how that goes, and send me a link to it after! Thanks clubfalco
I tried it out and it said the root was successful, but I still don't have root privileges. I'm going to try it again to make sure there isn't something I'm missing. If I can get it to work I'll send the link.
I tried srsroot as well to no avail. Tried two separate times and it said root successful, but after installing SuperSU and superuser (separately) no root... I'll keep trying I suppose. Happy with the phone regardless
I'm bookmarking this to keep abreast. I've been impatiently waiting for somebody to fix this problem. I love my AT&T S5 Active, but it is in need of warranty replacement. Nothing that hinders the phone function too much, but I want it fixed eventually. However if I send it in they will give me a Lollipop build (OF3). Mine currently runs 4.4.4. I don't care about 5.0. I just need my root. If I could get a KitKat replacement I would.
I can't send it in for replacement until somebody figures this out.
You could contact Samsung and see if there is any way for them to make sure you're sent a replacement without the latest update. Also, as you may already know, make sure you unroot and make it so you will be able to get the replacement. Warranties are typically voided with root... Good luck! I will keep this thread updated if I find a fix.
New to rooting - last phone was done successfully and golden - this new phone, not so much - any luck
I've been looking for a few weeks and haven't found a way to root my S5 Active. I'm running OF3 and nothing seems to work. KingRoot KingoRoot SRSRoot all the ones that come up with S5 and S5 active. Has anyone figured this out get? Using Odin to downgrade to AFE 5.0 gives a fused binary error for SW check so I'm stuck on 5.0 >
Is there still no method to root a S5 active on Android 5.0 at&t stuff drive me mad, I'm not on a contract just want the phone without junk on it.
Many thanks
Has anyone been able to or know how to root either one of the tablets I got them both today from at&t the 10.1 inch and the 8.0. I haven't been able to find any info on these mainly how to root and install recovery. Can't find anything device specific to these. Any info would be greatly appreciated
@slumerican35 you can only root them on kitkat, not lollipop. I believe towelroot will work for both. And the AT&T models have locked bootloaders, so unfortunately no custom kernels (ie no CyanogenMod type ROMs) and no custom recoveries

towel root worked fine for me, after odin tar. file, sm t337a kk NK2, to bad there is no custom recovery.
anyway this device seems to be owned by few people, ALSO, can 5.1 be rooted permanently? or still temp'?
thanks guys.
I really gotta replace my Note 2.
Can a Note 3 on version 5.0 be rooted and/or bootloader unlocked?
Thank you!
From this thread, he says:
"All the retail Verizon note 3's have a locked bootloader. But...Android 4.4.2 and lower can be rooted. 4.4.4 and higher can not be rooted."
Does anyone disagree with this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...izon-note-3s-locked-bootloader-buy-4-t3241941
Thats correct 4.4.4 or higher no root.
If I helped Hit the Thanks Button Like This?
4.4.4 no root no bl unlock no downgrade option little to 0 development of a chance get any root or unlock...
Software upgrade failed
I gather from previous messages that the device cannot be rooted or bootloader unlocked. I tried to root mine, now it doesn't do anything except display "Software Update Failed".. Does this mean it dead forever??? I would appreciate any help at all for this problem..

As long as you can get into download mode it's not dead. Once in download mode Odin either 4.4.4 or 5.0 (NJ6, NK1, OB6 or OF1). Anything below these versions will fail once it has been updated to 4.4.4 or 5.0.
Like the title says, I have a g900v running 4.4.2 with ank7 and it seems like that's a combo nobody else has. I had it rooted before but I believe I accidentally updated with an OTA at one point and lost root. Does anyone know how to regain root from here, or guide me to which updates I should install to get to a rootable firmware? Thanks in advance!
also, I do like 4.4.2 a little more than 5.0. My gf has 5.0 and I'm not too fond of it, but if 5.0 or 6.0 are a lot better speed-wise then I'd be ok with upgrading. I'm just not a big fan on how it looks.
Does anyone have any tips or knowledge on what I need to do to get root back?
Have you tried to root using towelroot by geohot?
you can install it just by googling towelroot and then installing it
once installed you just click make it rain and you should get root
Try this web page if it doesn't work at first
http://www.naldotech.com/how-to-fix-towelroot-phone-isnt-supported-problem/
otherwise flash using odin to a different KitKat firmware that is supported by towelroot and then root
Build MMB29K. I've tried and can't get TWRP loaded on there. I just bought this phone, but thinking about sending it back and keeping my rooted Note 3 if I can't get this to root! Here is the partial link to my post on Reddit about this same topic:
galaxynote4/comments/52my2m/has_anyone_been_able_to_root_their_smn910v/
Still no solution. Please help!
Same here
Can't get Odin to write the bootloader successfully.

Right if u took the ota you are locked as far the bootloader goes ....flashing will not be possible til this is corrected ....im told u can odin back to 5.1.1 which has a pretty easy method the safely upgrade so rooting and unlock are simplified. I never tried to rooting from the stock firmware.... does kingroot ever get u rooted? If so the u could try the aforementioned method but u would need a 6.0.1 compatible kernel (Sprint) given u r on there dev cid .
in the verizon note 4 form is where you should be looking because you have a locked bootloader.
