Way to jump to 5.0? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I haven't used my note 3 in a while, but I've seen it's upgradeable to 5.0. I'm currently on 4.2.2. Is there a way to jump up to 5.0 and root?

Yes

Android 4.4.3 and 4.4.4

Hi,
Now that we have got kitkat for the UK, does anyone know when the other updates relating to kitakt are due?
MAYBE expect android L after 1 to 2 years.

Also waiting for 4.4.4

Android 4.4.4 nj6 question

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.

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

I'm also wondering how long it will take for there to be a rooting method for 4.4.4
Patience is needed but I expect months of waiting.
That sucks

All I want is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.lumen&hl=en(Cf.lumen) Not sure if that's formatted right, but yeah, I just want a 2700k screen without losing a ton of contrast. It would be MUCH nicer on the eyes.
Does it work?

Now is there a way to root nj6? Or how much longer do we have to wait for a rooting method?

There is no root method as of now, and there is no way of know how long or if there will ever be one.
I don't keep my hopes to high, since the focus of the enablers is on lollipop by now...

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.
(sobs)
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

Keeping hope alive.
Mean while I prefer to use my Samsung GT-N7000 (NOTE 1) rooted than the rock with nice pouch called SM-N900V (NOTE 3)
I might just call Verizon & claim my phone is broken so I can get a replacement & see if the replacement phones come with 4.4.2

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..

Also there is most likely more support for the n4 the the n3 since it's older

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?

Nope root got closed for 4.4.4 and 5 only hope for a note3 owner is to get one pre rooted I bought a rooted note3 hoping the bl would get unlocked eventually. Im now looking to a moto x pure or a nexus 6 screw this bull**** im done samsung.

Will the S5 get 5.1 or above?

Thinking of picking up a S5 but know there are issues with 5.0. So wondering will it get 5.1. Just curious. TIA
I have the s5 and I am running 5.1 ota

Great from VZW
He might be running 5.0.1 I don't believe the S5 is in line for 5.1 across the board. BOG5 is a 5.0 release.

Poor service on lollipop

I have 2 sm-N900v were working great on 4.4.2 upgraded one to stock lollipop OF1 and the other to Jasmine Rom 6.1. They are both getting terrible service. Anyone else have the same problem and is there a fix for it?
Yep.... All the versions of 5.0 seem to have poor signal as well as battery. I went back to 4.4.4.

Can I run lollipop with a kitkat modem?
My understanding is that the modems are independant and are interchangable. Someone else might be able to answer it better. I dont think the issue is in the modem though. Googling issues with Lollipop, I have the impression that it is unresolved bugs in the OS related to the Note 3.
