[Q] Help needed with rooting the octacore unlocked variant of the phone

So first of all I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40747604 (MOTOCHOPPER thingy) to root my phone, I'm attaching the screenshots of the process ( the superuser app said it was outdated and when I tried to update it gave the message shown in the attachment below ) I know this that this motochopper process hasn't worked for many other S4 users who received a stability update some time ago. So, what do I do next ? could anybody link me to the complete process to fix this ? if I need to unroot this partially rooted phone before trying another root process, if yes then how ? Thank you:fingers-crossed :

Why did you use that. It's for Qualcomm-based variants of S4 (I9505).
He already mentioned that MOTOCHOPPER is for Qualcomm-based variants of the Samsung Galaxy S4.
Your phone is I9500 and probably INDIAN.
Use this to root your device.

And I think you are really new to rooting or flashing.
Then please do not flash anything you see on Google. First try to learn what exactly are you doing and how this actually work.
You might get your phone brick if you flash any file you see.

Yes, indeed, I'm new to this. Thank you
Another thing, I saw you use 9500 too, did you notice that the share via option in the music player has been missing in our phones ? I remember fine that it was there when I bought it, last time I used it was around a month ago, but now it is just gone, it is present in my note 2 but not in S4. Is this due to the stabilty update we recieved ?

[Q] How to root SM-N900V nk1 4.4.4?

I havent had root on this phone as of this date. I intend on doing so and been lurking for a way to get it done.
Phone is :

I found this: Root note 3
However which kernel file should I use for the verizon note 3? And is this method still functional?
Thank you

Found this for the S5 4.4.4 nk2 verizon. S5 nk2 root
anything like this will work for the note 3 on nk1? what kernels to use?

Bumping this thread. I'm in the same predicament. Any options?

Towelroot and framaroot don't work. CF auto root has nothing for us yet. I even tried universal root de la vega, nothing has worked.
At this point I'm desperate enough to try something like kango but even it doesn't support sm-n900v. I give up....I think the Note 4 & it's bounty is attracting the majority of attention.

well i tried to downgrade the kernel to a previous so can root like that and then upgrade the kernel to normal nk1, i let u know

SM-N900V 4.4.4 KTU84P.N900VVRUDNK1 Root?
bumping in this thread as well i have a SM-N900V 4.4.4 KTU84P.N900VVRUDNK1 and in the same situation. Any luck on the downgrade?

SM-N900V Root
WOW, looks like this is a common problem these days. I am having the exact same trouble, I can't get mine unlocked, rooted, or anything and i've even tried the paid sites.

Bumping this again. Any news on this yet? Anyone know which kernel files?

bumper too

Bump
P.S. How big of a bounty do you think would be necessary to attract the right people to solve this?

I will donate 100 $

http://www.usoftsmartphone.com/t319505.html what if we put this on top of nk1? Can anyone try this and report back?

Bump bump bump. Downgrade kernel. Root upgrade?

Gonna try this tomorrow and report back.

Well you obviously didn't report back. I already know the answer though, it didn't work. If you read it says you need to use SS which isn't even possible with a locked bootloader. I've been trying everything and combinations of everything with no luck. I'm not too worried about bricking as I have 2 unused Note 3s here which are useless to me without root. One was my wifes old phone and another was put together out of spare parts. I even tried ordering a broken phone from eBay hoping it hadn't been updated beyond 4.4.2....it was on 4.4.4. So now I have 2 N900Vs on 4.4.4 with no root/recovery options available.

[Q] Question regarding system updates to rooted s4 (stock rom)

Hello,
I have a Sprint Galaxy S4 (but you knew that.) that is currently running 4.4.2 Android. I have rooted my phone, but I never installed any roms, I am still using the stock touchwiz. For a while now, my phone has been telling me "system update downloaded" and wants me to install it.
Basically: How do I go about updating my phone without breaking something due to my root status. Should I un-root? Should I just hit update? I'm skeptical because I don't know much about fixing my phone if I accidentally brick it.
Alternatively, would I be better just getting a rom, like Cyanogen? I don't hate touchwiz as much as I probably should, haha.
Side note, I apologize if this has been raised before, I have been searching for answers to this since the first time my phone notified me of the update, between Google searches and searching this forum, I haven't found a topic that addresses my issue.

You coins just try a custom Touchwiz ROM like mine (Wicked X). You can't install the OTA on a rooted system, you need to unroot to take the OTA.

You can easily root your note 5 at this link

you have to download Samsung drivers first for your not 5 from here or you can search it on xda forum And you have to enable usb debugging

I did, but it is stuck at "Detecting device".

I updated this post with another rooting tools

Any opinions regarding rooting Note 5....
... with respect to Sprint, T-Mobile vs AT&T and Verizon?
Will there be the same problems with Verizon and AT&T Note 5 with locked bootloader as there were with the Note 4s?
Based on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016,
maybe all Note 5 versions will behave similarly, since it's just a knock-off off the Galaxy S6 ?!?
Any help appreciated a lot! - Looking to buy next Friday and Sprint is more expensive, but I need some chance of proper root in the not too distant future...

I suppose the guys behind ping-pong root can help us out....

Not unless they find a brand new exploit. The ping ping root exploit has been closed and never open for business again.

Having trouble with Heimdall

I was informed this might be the better subforum for this post...
Greetings!
I am trying to revert my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 G900V(B) back to Lollipop from Marshmallow. I don't have a PC but a Macbook Pro so I can't use ODIN. Instead I have downloaded Heimdall. I have downloaded several different versions of the Lollipop stock ROM but the Heimdall GUI is not recognizing them.
I *really* need to revert this back to Lollipop so I can use towelroot to get rid of all the crap Verizon bloatware that is eating my memory and making my phone unusable.
Any help would be so so so appreciated, thank you!
