Are there any safe roots available for the Rogers version? One that doesn't increase the boot flash count and mess up the knox thing?

Did you try the new safe root .bat file? It worked on my att phone, I'm sure your phone isn't much different.

As long as you don't mess with the update programs from your carrier you should be good. It is a good idea to use super user pro and do a root survival anytime you get an ota update. Going to sleep now, have fun.

OK so my first g2 got stolen, I filed a claim and the g2 shipped to my already has the KitKat update. I know that there isn't a root method for it yet so my question is can I downgrade using the method in the development then root with the method already known? Or do I have to just wait till a method is found for KitKat?

I've looked at that. It requires you to be on the last firmware and I'm on KitKat.

it has step by step to go back to stock 4.2, root, get recovery and flash like I said currently that is the only way for any device to keep recovery on kk(most devices with official kk and sources have got a specific rom to do so)
Hi i was just wondering if there has been a root method for the 4.4.2 OTA update. I updated a few weeks back and have been dying for root access.
The baseband version is N900VVRUCNC4.
Thanks in advance!

Like I said. Oughta sticky one of these so there aren't 8 million threads asking the same question.

Think there's any possibility we'll get it? I would hate to have to sell this device and move on
Im sure there will be in time?
Would we be able to downgrade thru Odin and then root and then flash rooted version of 4.4.2?

Doubt it...most of the devs that might be capable moved on from Verizon and really do not care. The reason being soon as a exploit is found and released it then is patched by the next update. It's a cat and mouse game not worth playing. There are methods out there that allow you have rooted 4.4.2, The sticky at the top of this section explains it all. "Never Accept OTA Updates".

No The Verizon N3 is model N900V and this article deals with the UK model N900
Also, in the UK the status of the Knox warranty counter doesn't matter. In the US it does.

Try to flash it in odin, then as soon as your phone reboots hold vol +, home, and power. See if that will let you boot into TWRP

Ive been having the same problem. Ive been sitting on stock since the update
Bootloader on this might have been changed in this update!
It might be not possible to downgrade to Lollipop and or PE3
I have a 2015 16GB version that's running stock rooted ROM. I've never had issue with OTA upgrades in the past but 6.2 doesn't install.
It goes through the process but doesn't seem to upgrade because it keeps prompting me to upgrade.
I believe that the issue is because of root. So I would like to know if there is an easier way of unrooting and getting OTA instead of going completely back to stock?
