[Q] Trouble updating

I have the Verizon galaxy note 3 N900V it's rooted,now it wont let me update to 4.4.what will I need to do?

When you say update, are you talking OTA or NC2? If you want to obtain root you will NOT want OTA!!!

[Q] Curious?

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

HELP Rooint galaxy s4 5.0.1

iv been out of the rooting loop for awhile, i just got a brand new replacement s4 and looking to root (DO NOT want to trip knox) (just want to root not installing custom firmware)
iv googled a bit but everything seems to be old
so just wondering if u can root 5.0.1 galaxy s4 i337m without tripping knox
if anyone has any info or links thanks
hopefully without having to downgrade!!

Its impossible (momentarily) to direct root 5.0.1
Only method is downgrading to NB1 - rooting with towelroot - then doing a keeproot update to 5.0.1
Downgrade to NB1 and root using this post HERE (Second post - second part under HOW TO GET TO ANY KITKAT 4.4.2)
To update to 5.0.1 and keep root follow this post HERE.

say right in the first link who should not use this ....i337m (which is canadian gs4)
Who SHOULD NOT use this guide?
-- SGH-I337 users with a MDB or MDL bootloader. (Don’t use this guide or you’ll be locked down for good.)
-- Anyone using another Galaxy S4 variant, such as T-Mobile, Verizon, i337m, etc...

..??
anybody ?

Im really, really sorry that i missed such an important information. My apologies.
Btw, the canadian version has an unlocked bootloader (Im pretty sure) so it has to be much easier to get lollipop

There are some more ways to root

your dont have to do all this stuff you can root it with 1 click

I know of no way to root without tripping Knox once the phone is running the latest 4.4.2 and higher.
I bought a used s4 i337m for parts and clobbered together a frankenphone that's running 5.01. SInce CF Autoroot won't work, I'll flash TWRP and supersu when I get a chance.

Oh!. By the way, the Philz Recovery method did not work on my 1 week old gt-i9500. The other method of flashing the ch root tar file through latest Odin worked to root my s4

Galaxy tab SM-T537A AND SM-T337A

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

Its easy download towel root from this website towelroot by geohot.
Now press the red symbol it looks like an opposite y press it and your device is rooted

Get Kingroot from this site, it works on lollipop.

towel root
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.

Verizon galaxy s5 6.0.1 root help

To start I am very noobish at rooting and such so please be patient with me. So i had rooted my verizon galaxy s5 that was on 5.0 . then i used flashfire to update to the new 6.0.1. but have lost my root i thought from what i read this would help me keep my root . Is there anyway to get my root back even if I have to downgrade back or something. Once again i am very noobish at all of this so any clear help would be wonderful.
