[Q] 4.4.2 root?

Has anyone found a method to root the 4.4.2 kitkat OTA yet? If so a link would be great! Thanks in advance!

I also am desperate for someone much better at this than I to find a method. I hate the OTA! If we can't root, has anyone figured out how to remove the odin write protection so we can revert to the leak?

I'm stuck at this point waiting for a root method too. Does anyone know if Kingo will eventually add kitkat ? Have they been slowly upgrading the tool so far?

every one of those were saying no root method yet. So thanks for the help..

Chances are it will be a long while before we get any sort of root. I willingly took NC4 and have no regrets. Maybe one day we will get an unlock.

Sooooo...why doesn't someone sticky one so there won't be another 25 generated?

Fair question but i don't recall seeing many stickies on things you can't do
Also something like this requires little more than a Google search really

Perhaps, but maybe it will bring more awareness to it. I also installed the update without doing research to see if it could be rooted after, and now am sorely disappointed I cannot load cyanogenmod on it.
I've been searching all over and it still doesn't look like there's a solution for it. Hopefully somebody more experienced comes along, reads this, and figures out a solution for the rest of us mere mortals

Refer to the sticky that says do not OTA update.

with a BOUNTY of $18,500 for root it will certainly be no secret when/if its accomplished.

Refer to my utter lack of time travel capabilities, else I'd have flashed NC2 in the first place and not be in this pickle. (EDIT--should read "reading" capabilities, not "travel"!)

[Q] Verizon Note 3 (N900V) Root

Dear Xda Developers
dear teams first of all i am sorry if any one has already posted such kind of thread i just want to know that on XDA great teams and people are working together on different devices to make them better for common people use.
today i have same Question for you all
i am searching for posts regarding verizon note 3 lollipop root and have not found any solution one click root does not work towelroot does not work root de la vegas not working in short nothing is successful against rooting Verizon Note 3 SM N900V.!! i just want to say that there are thousands of developers but still could not make a simple root for this device. kindly do not forget this device there are a lot of users like me waiting for root kindly do something about give it your attention guys root is needed.!!
Note: if it cannot be rooted on 5.0 then kindly make a root on 4.4.4 so those who are on 5.0 revert back to 4.4.4 via Odin (i have tried reverting back to 4,4,4 using Odin and it worked) and then can root 4.4.4 if you guys successful make root available for Verizon Note 3 SM N 900V running on 4,4,4 please let us know if there is currently any dev working on this device??
one more there is a new method knows as multiboot or something similar which is used to run dual roms on this device i had seen video on Youtube and could not sort out how to do it as i do not have root and without root nothing is possible kindly someone pay attention to this device. as its been a long time since no root>> [/SIZE][/B][/B]

Lots of us is waiting for it but there is no solution for now ...hope it ll be soon ..

Really?? Every other thread is asking the same questions.
/rant

Well.. I think at least read the other post about this topic, before posting something like this.. but anyways I'll give you a quick heads up.
Basically the main reason that root can't be done by now it's cause of Verizon blocking the bootloader on lollipop also banning the kernel from 4.4.2 where root was possible.
Another point why root hasn't been accomplished by now is cause the people who are able to accomplish that are already working for some company's who pays them to patch those kinds of vulnerability and some others are focused in his school or PhD.
So.. before posting such a request read a little bit son you can be aware of what's going on.
Cheers!

Just jumping in.... Has anybody tried Kingroot 4.0? or the new PingPong root for the s6?

I've done a bit of a research on Ping pong root... it seems it's only for note4 and s6 devices.
So I said let's give it a try who knows what might happen.. so I installed.
At first I thought it will give a message like device not supported but no actually it installs supersu but at the moment of pressing Get root! It gives me a message that supersu is not installed.
So... No. Ping Pong Root still does not work for us yet.
I'll keep up with that thread to see if it comes in handy to help us get root access.

I tried the King root dated 13 Jun, and it didnt work either.

Bummer. Was hoping since the S6 was 5.+ with root, we might get lucky. Oh well...

Things you shouldn't do when you have rooted your phone

1. That's the most important thing: When you have rooted your phone with a Tutorial, don't turn off OEM-Unlock!!! This will bridge your phone!!! How to repair: When you have bridged your phone, you can use this tutorial: search on Youtube after install stock firware with odin
2. Be carefully in what you download!!! With root, a virus can much better damage your phone then without root!
I hope i could help somebody out there

I think you mean BRICKED not bridge

I have rooted, turned off OEM-Unlock and no brick

No offence, but don't you think you should spend more time here listening, reading and learning and maybe give advise only once you're confident in your abilities and really know what you're talking about? Just a thought!

Hmm...
Hmmm.... at my phone it got briked when I turned off OEM-unlock... But it can also be if you just rooted your phone over an phoneroot app like kingoroot, kingroot and so

Come on, this post is for people who don't know really much about root. When I rooted my first time, i turned off OEM-Unlock, and it wasn't written anywhere. Now I have made this Post to help other people, so please don't say this post is worthless!!! Thanks!

Don't know about that but here are some things you SHOULD do before you root
Explore xda-developers forum so as to be sure you fully understand process before practicing on any device, compare the advantages against the disadvantages (on a personal level) involved with rooting. Once you succesfully achieve root access, if you are like me you will flash a awesome custom rom and try out some of the wkd good quality apps/tweaks you're able to enjoy! Also thank Devs and acknowledge the work and time they have put in any way you can.

Don't try to root Nougat from Android Infotech website!

Hi all,
I receive a lot of private messages about root for Nougat from this website:
http://www.androidinfotech.com/2017/06/root-sony-xperia-xa-ultra-nougat.html
DON'T CLIC ON IT, IT'S A CLICBAIT!
I never released anything for Nougat so please don't ask me why it doesn't work, it's only a scam to win money from ads.
If you can't find my work on Xda you will not find it anywhere.

Hi, technically root is possible, I have it but not released to the public. Why? Because nobody supported my work and as you can see my root guide have only 29 thanks. You will have to wait for a release from an other user or maybe if my guide reaches 100 thanks (don't count on it).

Damn...
I had TA dumped the day I got it and I am ready to root it.
Well, I have to return it because there no root on 7

DRM fix with TA dump doesn't work on Nougat, bootloop at Sony logo (tested on XA Ultra)
The only good news it that SafetyNet is OK with Magisk Manager app v5.0.4 and zip v13.1 on Nougat.

I'm not nervous but politeness is a minimum when someone spend some time for you, it's not normal to ask for any thank. I talk about my root guide (and root files). I was silly to think this, now I learned a good lesson: work for yourself and you will not have to wait for any thank.

Me ? I never said to go back to 6.0. Maybe it's your fault because you forgot to exclude TA parts of the firmware or you didn't used the fsc script or you used an old version of Flashtool? I downgraded/flashed my devices many times and never got any problems.

Agreed. I rolled back to 6.0 2 times without problems. Btw. I have a spare Z1 and I accidentally flashed those .ta files but they did no harm. I think they are useless even when flashed.

I successfully flashed to 6.0 (.160), but after I flashed your kernel from dev section and it has bootloop problem (from either rootpack or individual). Should I flash to earlier version? My choice is
Customized LAM (.182, 7.0)
Customized US (.182, 7.0)
Customized Peru (.160, 6.0)
Service Exchange Unit (.111, 6.0)
Please continue your work, and I always give thanks once I found it's working.
----- update -----
I sucessfully flashed to Service Exchange Unit (.111, 6.0) and everything worked as it's supposed to be, and rooted with SuperSU (but I will move to Magisk in the future)

You quoted wrong person. If you flash an older kernel over a new firmware, you get bootloop. I had that too.

I really wish I could do such coding to compile both boot and recovery because XA Ultra is really awesome, but you have to catch up with version.

Latest Guide on Rooting ZTE AXON 7

I really need help with rooting my ZTE Axon 7. I am on the latest software update and on Android 7.1.1. I would like to root my phone but I don't know where to get started or what to do exactly. Can someone please help me and send links or downloads to help me root my device? Thank you

You can't be serious? There are so many guides here on XDA and you ask such a question?

Actually it's not that simple...
You don't get to come here and ask for all of the work to be done for you. Otherwise it happens like with the Galaxy Grand 2, where the phone had a very good dev community but noobs with no interest on spending some time just ruined it to the point that literally only a couple of devs stayed and released CM14.
Also if you ask for someone to send you the exact guides that you need, you'll probably not read anything, and you'll get a beautiful DFU brick...
Do this: First do your homework. Memorize the model on the back of your phone, see if the software model matches the one on the back. As a tip, there are 3 models, the A2017, the A2017G and the A2017U. If you use a file that's not for your model you can start saying goodbye to your brick, or else you'll probably be days trying to fix it (or months like some people). Look at the problems that may come up when rooting and see the way to avoid those. Then look for a guide that suits your model. Download all the files, ensure that all of them work (you'll need Windows on a 64-bit PC), and THEN proceed.
If you have any doubts you can PM me or maybe the maker of the guide, but at least try to do something for yourself! I read more than 10 pages on the guide that I used just to see the problems that may arise and stuff like that. You also should be able to do that. And if you aren't, it's best that you don't try. This is not a Nexus device for you to write 'fastboot oem unlock' and basically finish unlocking the bootloader, this is MUCH more serious...
