You.cant.go.back.to 4.4.2. If you could, this forum wouldn't have a daily "is there root for lollipop yet?" thread

The YouTube link you shared is to the ATT version of the Note 3. I'm not familiar with the ATT Note 3, but with the Verizon Retail Note 3, you can't revert back to 4.4.2 after your phone has been updated to stock 4.4.4 or higher. Verizon has blacklisted the firmware to prevent you from downgrading back to 4.4.2 and earlier builds. If you're on Lollipop.... then you can revert back to 4.4.4, but as far as I know, there's not a working root method for 4.4.4 at this time either.

Rooted AT&T 4.3 MK2 upgrading to 4.4.2 (and root)?

Hi,
I read the news that 4.4.2 is out. Is it really out?
I have stock ROM rooted using vroot. I've disabled the updates so it's still on 4.3 MK2.
Is there a safe process to upgrade to the latest 4.4.2? Any way to keep root or re-root?
Thanks

There is no root for 4.2.2, nb1. There is a tar file that can be used in Odin. There is also a work around so you can run a 4.4.2 rooted rom. See the general forum

You're stuck on 4.4.4 until a root method is found. You cannot Odin back to 4.4.2 since new bootloader blacklisted the 4.4.2 kernel.
No such luck yet on root capabilites unfortunately ): I'm hoping the dev don't completely give up on this!!!

Rooting on 4.4.4

Does anyone know if there is a way to root the Note 3 if it is on KitKat 4.4.4? I have tried using Odin but it fails. Perhaps I cannot do it with the 4.4.4 build?

Exploits got closed your screwed until they find a new method. And I'm 98% any dev working on it is saving exploits for 5.0 not 4.4.4 so until that drops I doubt 4.4.4 will get root after the fact and the only way you might have root on a 4.4.4 note 3 is if it is preroot or a dev unit.

[Q] root verizon Samsung Galaxy note3 sm900v 4.4.4 question

Stock verizon note3 sm900v
Android 4.4.4
I'm not finding much in ways of options for root currently. Is it possible to flash my phone back to 4.4.2, root once there, then sideload 4.4.4? Using something like Odin maybe?

SM-N900V
I have tried everything to root my device: SM-N900V 4.4.4 KTU84P.N900VVRUDNK1
I haven't had any luck with the following:
Kingo
VRoot (IRoot)
Towel Root
SuperOneClick

Is there not a way to root a stock 4.4.4 SM-N900V yet? If not how can I downgrade to an OS that will work? Any leads would be great! :good:

Maybe this VIDEO helps you. It's for one sm-n900a.
Perhaps it would if i could find the corresponding files for the n900v. Any ideas where i can find them?
i found everything but this file:N900VVRUCNC4_N900VVZWCNC4_VZW.zip
Update
After some extensive searching i found the files and hope to attempt to downgrade according to video posted ^ with my SM-N900V. I found a great site for FW versions for anyone encountering this problem in the future: galaxynote3update
update
This method does not work on Verizon. I found the Verizon equivalent files and attempted this but got a SW REV CHECK fail when trying to download 4.4.2 FW. ATT must not have a version check in theirs. I have exhausted every method out there. Hoping someone comes up with a one click root for this configuration soon cuz not having root sucks
Did you ever succeed?
I just received a new Note 3 from my warranty company. I was hoping it would have 4.4.2 on it
but it has the same version as yours. I really could use root.
Any luck with your phone?
Hey you all
I have found a few pages on rooting our Verizon note 3 4.4.4. I do not know how to attach the link but if you look it up in XDA Verizon Note 3 you will find it there. Thanks to designgears.

Upon further research I found out that if your phone is n900vvrudnk1 it is not compatible to root. It seems that sammy has us under lock-down for now. If we upgrade to the lollipop 5.0 will this upgrade boot loaders also?

[Q] Is there root for the official Verizon lollipop ota update?

Just updated from android 4.4.4 to 5.o on my Verizon note 3 sm-n900v in hope that 5.0 would have a root exploit. Can I root the Verizon note 3 5.0???

As of right now, no. There IS however the possibility of returning to NK1 from 5.0, so if something gets released for NK1 and not 5.0, then that's an option.

Are you on 4.4.4? If not and you have SS, you can flash Jasmine Rom. Which is really just a stock lollipop Rom with root.

Nothing past 4.4.2 can be rooted as of now, you cannot downgrade to an earlier version to root.
