You may have a battery that's outlived its usefulness. They only last a year or two.
5.0 is supposed to better battery life than 4.4.4
You can locate 4.4.4 on sammobile.com and use the latest version of Odin to flash your Note 3.

temp root. they won't get perm root.
As long as I can us xposed...remove bloat and like 10 other apps I need root for...I don't care mush for roms anymore I use too when I had my Droid eris and htc thunderbolt but now I just like the stick with mods...I love this 5.0 but it's make me hate it without root...my note 2 had cap battery life before I rooted then rooted and tons of mods I had it lasting just under 2 days from about 5 hours...and I use greenify on the note 3 but without root it kinda sucks..

Anyone had a problem with not getting call? I had a problem on my s3 then switched to the note 2 and had none at all..but now again I seem to be haven this program..I was reading could be the 5.0 update? A friend of mine who has a note 3 I rooted about a year ago got ahold of me and wants to trade phones since he's still on 4.4.2 and I can them use the rooted 5.0 and he really don't use and or need root anyway he just want 5.0 so I'll probably do that soon
If you need root, it's best to wait for a newer phone that is rootable and go that route. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm not jumping on anything for a replacement until I see it has root, then I'll buy. Personally I'm waiting to check out the new Moto X that has a SD card. Not going with a new Note due to it lacking that. My two years with the N3 is up in Oct so sometime around then I'll figure it out I hope, otherwise I'm sticking with my rooted, 128gb sd carded still working fine as hell N3....
So, we would have to revert to an older version of Android before we could root? Kingo won't work with a 5.0 Verizon note 3?

Yea I've been wondering the same thing.
Why don't you root and flash the mod ?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
You need to root then do the mod to get them to work
You can always unroot after flashing the mod if it is that much of a problem to be rooted.
Why not just root the phone? No harm done in rooting, right??
I was just hoping to stay stick for a while, but I guess that's not going to happen.

you can stay stock if you want yet still root. I have yet to flash a custom rom but been rooted since day 1.
Wow, the rooting process is so much easier and faster than on the original evo. It's like I barely had to do anything. Thanks for the help everyone, it was definitely worth rooting.

Hi everyone. My mom's s4 won't update. I think it's because we're outside of the US. The phone it's unlocked. Do I need to update to every firmware until I reach the desired version? Or I can just put the 4.4.2 OTA on the sdcard and update?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
You can just Odin to the latest version. I doubt your mom does rooting or custom roms but that will be severely limited after the update.

Just root the phone not many people are on MDL, I for one am and all I did was root my S4. Take advantage of the fact bootloader is unlocked trust me.

There's people who would die to have a phone on mdl. But I'm sure it's not your mom. If you want the latest firmware see the second post of the attached and flash it with Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50667360

Lol. Thanks I appreciate that. Getting off topic but as an ex s4 owner I recommend those people to migrate to a nexus 5 or wait until nexus 6 come out. It's a really awesome phone imho.

Hello everyone. From what I've ready, Samsung has a way of knowing when you root your phone thanks to the Knox counter. I understand people have ways around it, but frankly, I understand why Samsung does it and don't mind losing my warranty.
I do wonder this though: does the insurance cover a bricked phone from root?
Also, if I do root, can I get stock Android 5.0?
And lastly, there's so many sites that claim to know how to root a note 3, but a lot of them don't seem legit. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!

If you rooted nc2 or NC4 Verizon won't know and you can go back to stock unrooted. Rooting your phone won't trip KNOX. If you take the 4.4.4 update it's a wrap as far as we know. If you root you won't get 5.0 unless it's a OTA probably. I know Hsbadr is working on some things but for the most part Big Red is trying to kill the Note 3. At least from a rooting and development standpoint.
Really? So there's no way I can get 5.0 custom rom?

I doubt it on this device but you never know.
It depends on how your root to not trip Knox amd some other things can trip it from what I've read even improper unroot. I cannot confirm I've never experienced this, but Samsung is who you shouldn't worry about verizon insurance is different. Samsung a is only one year verizon is paid but yes they are right they won't know. Towel root is the only way I know how to not trip knox. To sum up other posts verizon is trying to stop root of note 3 and Samsung isn't helping either. This may be as good as it gets when it comes to development for the note 3 which is still incredible imo due to the bootloader and such. As always hope this helps and shout out to all the devs and others that work on note 3 v

Is there a way to root a verizon note 3 running nj6 firmware right now? If not how do I downgrade back to 4.4.2? I just accidentally upgraded to 4.4.4 and now I don't know if I can root it or not. Is there also a way to get safestrap on 4.4.4 right now?

I'm sorry. You are stuck with 4.4.4. At this point, there is no way to go back.
Sent from my SM-T700 using XDA Free mobile app
No there is no way to root it yet. Just hold on to it for a few more days. Once a rooted ROM comes out, it will open the gates.
Ok thanks for the info
I'm wondering how fast this will happen since developer Hashcode is no longer actively involved in rooting

There is no root method as of now, and there is no way of know how long or if there will ever be one.

Nooo don't say that, somewhere was to be a hero dev, who loves the Note 3 4.4.4 .
?????
It's so sad to known I voluntarily upgrade to NJ6.

I guess I too don't keep my hopes up for getting a root for android 4.4.4 cause I agree all the devs are focusing on android l aka android 5.0

Edit: as the phone has a locked bootloader, it gets more complicated.
You'd have better luck on AT&T's Note 3 section than here. We have locked bootloaders, and have to use a couple workarounds to get rooted on LP.
Here's the thread for stock rooted LP 5.0 OC2
Basically, you have to Odin back to NC2 (official), root/bb/su/etc., reboot into safestrap & flash the ROM above.
Darn, I had no idea that ATT was still doing that.
Thanks guys... my original note was easy to root this one not so much
