I look through and this procedure can follow if you are still in JB rom. But now, I already on KitKat stock rom 4.4.2. I just need to root it & download the recovery. Is IORoot compatible for 4.4.2 root?
i believe there's still no root or recovery for 4.4.2 KitKat LG rom yet..
u need to go back to 4.2.2 to retain root & recovery when upgrading using the method listed in that thread

OK..In that case will wait for root + recovery when it available. No point downgrade back to 4.2.2 cause KitKat rom now is super smooth and fast.
you can update to 4.4.2 again after you have root and custom recovery
downgrade -> root -> upgrade -> be happy
There is root for stock 4.4.2 but U have to install it from 4.2.2 with that guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680789
For now the downgrade to 4.2.2 is only need for install stock 4.4.2 and root then You will have stock KK rooted
for custom recovery for stock KK we must wait

I tried this yesterday and nearly bricked my phone.I downgraded from 4.4.2 then rooted with ioroot24 then got freegee to install twrp..all was good until i tried to flash the 4.4.2 rom in twrp it keep failing when i came out of twrp and rebooted BAM i was stuck at boot screen and device would do nothing.
After hours and hours of trying all sorts i managed to flash back to 4.4.2 EUR open using the offline fix and messing with everything to get the device recognised in the flashtool.. even had the back off and disconnected battery maybe that did it but this only worked after attempting it 20 or so times the planets must have been aligned or something as nothing worked until then..Phew...SO be super careful is what i am trying to say.
I don't say "be super careful" I'll say if U dont feel good with that staff, READ carefully everything!
everybody got own story, is normal, and my story is short I think, but I'm few years in the "bussines"
After I buyed my G2 had stock 4.2 and I've put KK CM on it, after stock KK shows, I've downgrade to stock 4.2, rooted and installed twrp with no problem, then puting via twrp stock KK and root and thats it
the only problem I was have is with downgrade to 4.2 stock via offline method but that was my antivisrus blocked LG update tool (but I've managet it) and then rest was easy
In every GUIDE or threat You can post Your problem and people helps You, I know that by myself. but 95% problems is because peoples makes mistakes becouse of don't carefuly READ guids or help posts in threat, they only read last one post... and I know that with my experience

"downgrade" doesnt mean you need to stay in 4.2.2, it means u flash 4.2.2 first to get root and recovery, then u can flash 4.4.2 and remain root and recovery, so end up you are using 4.4.2 and have both root and recovery
That what I was talking about about readings post...
Mate You wrote exactly the same thing that I wroted two post above....

Unfortunately the second part of Your post is not true... For now You will dont have recovery on 4.4.2, only root but not recovery, the recovery from 4.2 will be deleted
plus one more thing that root for 4.4.2 not remain but You must flash it too, after flash stock KK... I've puted link to GUIDE two post above too, but like I said, peoples don't reads carefuly guids and posts...

If u dont want to downgrade to 4.2.2, u dont get root and recovery, if u want root and recovery, downgrade
Show me where is recovery for stock KK? we talking here about stock KK, from stock JB, read the posts man, read the first page, is only 2 pages thread...
that Guy wants recovery for stock KK not for custom rom, recovery for custom KK roms is an old story
show me recovery for stock KK and I will apologize, for now U must read posts carefuly
My problem is I have searched EVERYWHERE to find info on how to root my device being that it is brand new never rooted running the newest firmware update. My gs5 came with NI2 and then when I turned it on it did more updates so now it has NK2 NEVER ROOTED BEFORE. so I need to find out if I can downgrade my firmware back to NI2 so that I can use towelroot to root my gs5 because im feeling kinda sketchy about downgrading after the bootloader has been updated to NK2. and my next question is, ive read that in order to get on the most recent firmware and rooted you need to flash the firmware in order using odin till I get to the newest firmware and my question is this, after ive rooted and I flash new firmware using odin will my root still be there even after doing this 2 or 3 times getting to the newest firmware out will my device still have root? or will all the flashing of new firmwares take away root? so I believe if somebody answers these questions i'll know where to start.

I just did mine today. I installed towelroot before updating to NK2 though. After I rooted it verizon still kept asking me to upgrade so I did and lost the root. I was able to get it rooted again though. Not sure if this helps cause I was on NI2 when I installed towelroot. Can't it be installed on NK2? I don't know this is my first post.
---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------
I think you can install towelroot to NK2. You have to downgrade to NCG to get root to work, then flash to NK2. You don't want to try to install it while in NCG cause the phone will go too slow. I used the video called Verizon Galaxy S5 How To Root Latest 4.4.4. OTA Update

You can still do it. That Guide works for from ncg to nk2. It even has the tar files for nk2 so you can Odin back to nk2 if you want after you root. Is there a certain rom you're wanting to run?

no at the moment im just trying to get this rooted, so im guessing because when I got my phone brand new it had ni2 on it so that's the tar file I should download correct?
You have to download ncg to root. Then I'd you want ni2 download ni2 or if you want the very latest get nk2. More roms use ni2 firmware I think.

Was it full tar or firmware? I only ask because you don't need the full tar. All you need to do is get the Firmware only that is in that thread I linked. Flash it in Odin, run towelroot(should already be installed because once you go to ncg kernel things will be slow), flash superuser, safestrap, then flash the nk2 firmware with Odin. That should put you where you are now, just rooted and with safestrap.
Just follow that thread substituting nk2 for ni2 and use the Firmware downloads from that thread.

Go to the guide, go to how to root section. You can use your phone to unzip files so download roots5 zip and unzip it and follow those steps except for number 3(the ones that says Odin ncg) since you're on it now. When you get to the step that says Odin ni2 just use nk2, or ni2 if you want on that one. Now roms are ni2 than nk2.

I successfully used ODIN to roll back to 4.4.4, then tried TowelRoot, and found that it stated that my device wasn't compatible. So I tried installing NE9 > NCG Kernel; got stuck boot at the VZW screen, pulled battery, installed NE9 kernel; no success (stuck on VZW screen).
So, now I am back to install of N12 (NI2)? with 4.4.4
Am I going to be able to successfully root from here? If so, how?
I see people speak of a KNOX counter...what is it exactly, and how do I access? I came across it when the phone had 5.0 Lolli on it, but then I couldn't remember where I saw it, and couldn't find it on 4.4.4
I did click the phone into developer mode, but under About Phone, most everything is gray now, and I can't access, or click on most.
My main objective for root is to debloat, and install a different ROM, if desired, but mostly to debloat. Can anyone help from where I am at with 4.4.4; I seem to be unsuccessful. Obviously missing something?
Thanks in advance.

I rooted my S4 ATT SGH-I337 yesterday with Kingroot while already having Lollipop 5.0.1. I then downloaded Flashify & Flashed ClockworkMod Recovery. Restarted my phone to goto recovery and I got a yellow triangle saying this phone has software unauthorized by att.
What Custom Recovery can I use and where can I find the latest version? Will TWRP work and also I've heard of something called Philz?
Oh and does bootloader have anything to do with this because when I rooted my S3 I never even knew or heard of bootloader.

You will not be able to use a custom recovery because your bootloader is locked with no means of unlocking it or downgrading to an unlocked one. You have 2 tools that you can use, currently in lollipop. One is flashfire beta. If you ever purchased mobile Odin, you will be upgraded to the paid version for free. The other is safestrap. Safestrap isn't updated for lollipop but there is a workaround. Since you rooted with Kingroot, I'd suggest getting flashfire beta and then use it to flash the rooted 0C3 zip found in the OP of this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-update-to-i337oc3-5-0-1-keeproot-t3075814
The reason is that Kingroot seems shady and installs other crapware. Also, if you try to update to 0C4, it will fail with the Kingroot rooted lollipop. It won't with Muniz' method. Well, at least I know it won't with the stock rooted one. I'm still unsure if the deodexed one will cause the update to fail.

My question is what is 0C3? and what is 0C4?
I have the paid version of Flashfire beta
The reason I want a custom recovery is so i can make a backup of my phone and then flash a rom preferably Cyanogen Mod if they have it yet. I hate this touchwiz. But I wanna make a backup like i was able to wish Clockwork mod. Is FlashFire capable of making a complete backup? I see the Backup option but have no clue which to choose and or what it is backing up??????

OC3 is the original Lollipop distribution for the AT&T I337. OC4 is the patch update which is assumed to have corrected the stagefright bug.
I don't have the phone, so I don't use flashfire, but I understand that you can do most everything with it that you can do with CWM or TWRP.
The bootloader is locked, and you will not be able to install a custom recovery. You will also not be able to install a custom kernel, so no AOSP based roms can be installed either. You're stuck with Touchwiz based roms. Period.

No it won't. Only safestrap will work with the nc1 work around. Flashfire is great until you want to flash a rom with an aroma installer, then safestrap is the only option.

Have you changed anything since the update? If you've unistalled or frozen any apps, or made any other change to the rom, the update will fail. It does work with the deodexed version of the rom also, that's what I updated with.

Your baseband is OC3 so you have OC3 modem. What is your bootloader?
If you bootloader is newer than MDB or MDL you can not install the custom recovery like CWM or TWRP. You are limited to Safestrap or Flashfire for flashing the custom rom.

You have a locked bootloader so you option to install the custom rom is limited to using either safestrap or flashfire.
This guide explain how to install custom using safestrap.
This guide explain updating, rooting and using safestrap. It is also useful if you screwed up and bricked your phone while flashing or tweaking.
Flashfire is newer thing and there is no separate guide written for how to use it but you can find the flashfire instructions in the custom rom that is written as flashfire friendly.

My first reference explains all the steps starting from the Kitkat NB1.
Since you'd already have OC3 and rooted you need to follow the step #4 Install your CUSTOM Lollipop ROM . step 4.1 explains how to install safestrap. 4.2 explains how to invoke safestrap and 4.3 explains how to install the custom rom.
I did not see OC3 to NJ4 that you were referring to though.
This thread is for installing S6 port using either safestrap or flashfire. I am just showing you as an example how to install the custom rom.

I recommend you to do all process from NB1 to OC4/OK2 keep root (Avaliable on the INDEX) bcuz I was lazy and used kingroot to root OC4 and when I finally was into safestrap it doesn't flashed any ROM and was just a waste of time.

I'm not the most indicated to show you the way because I haven't tried the keep root method yet, S4 it's my personal phone, was finishing semester and needed to be contactable.
I'm gonna try it right now and if I have success I will let u know in a couple hours?
I'm now on Albe95 LolliROM v8 ? and I'm pretty noob on this. I'll tell you step by step tomorrow cause now I'm tired ??
So did everything is working perfectly, what steps u went through ?

Proceed at your own risk. I'm not responsible for any damage caused to your device
First we must put all the archives we will need on the SD card (Stock rooted OC4, the Custom ROM we want, OC4 modules, OC4 kernel and all we gonna need)
Make sure to read this complete, understand it and then proceed
1. I used Odin to flash back to NB1 (the rootable one)
2. Rooted with TowelRoot and installed SuperSU and FlashFire directly from PlayStore (worked for me).
3. Opened Flashfire, granted root permissions and did the Muniz_ri Keep Root Method (4.4.x to OK2) but instead of using OK2 replaced all OK2's with OC4 files because I couldn't find the OK2 modules and will be needed to flash custom ROM.
4. At this point we have OC4 rooted so we just install BusyBox (install the 'things'), then install Safestrap and inside the app install the recovery and at last install the NC1 app flasher.
5. We will automatically reboot into Safestrap recovery and there we just have to wipe (all except SD card) then we proceed to install the ROM (if the ROM has aroma installer at the end we don't reboot into system we have to go back to recovery), after modules and at last we flash (install) the Kernel (we re using OC4 base so modules and Kernel must be OC4 too).
6. From here we just have to wait, and the Safestrap robot will appear like 4 times, we just press continue and deodexed custom ROMs will take about 15-20 minutes to do the first boot.
