Hi,
I read the news that 4.4.2 is out. Is it really out?
I have stock ROM rooted using vroot. I've disabled the updates so it's still on 4.3 MK2.
Is there a safe process to upgrade to the latest 4.4.2? Any way to keep root or re-root?
Thanks

There is no root for 4.2.2, nb1. There is a tar file that can be used in Odin. There is also a work around so you can run a 4.4.2 rooted rom. See the general forum

I have the MF9 software and was just wondering if you can root and install custom roms to it? Can someone link a root service that will work on the MF9 and a stock andoid 4.3 ROM

Think you are a bit confused. What rom are you on? Stock unrooted MF9? If so, can use CF autoroot to obtain root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291827

Just figured out how to unroot 4.2.2 by updating to 4.3 MK2.
I am interested in updating to 4.4.2. I understand that I won't be able to root once i update OTA.
how else can I update to 4.4.2 once I root. I think I would like to root 4.3 first.

If you want to update to 4.4.2, then you must be on stock firmware with no root. You will be stuck with all the bloatware from Samsung & carrier until a root exploit is realized. Check the mk2 all in one guide. It has everything you need to do this. Good luck & remember to thank the op in the threads!
Hello,
My device is currently rooted on 4.2.2 (Baseband MF3) . How can I upgrade it to 4.4 (and maintain root) ?
Thanks!

Use Odin and flash either the MK2 or NB1 update, and then follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680868 to get to rooted 4.4.

Thanks for the reply!
Where can I find the MK2 or NB1 Update? Is there one safer to update to than the other (as I see different instructions for each) ?
Thanks again!
MK2 is a little easier, since you won't have to downgrade. You can find links to both in the OP of the All things MK2 and NB1 thread under "return to stock".

MK2 is the last firmware version with an exploitable kernel that allows for a direct rooting method, e.g. saferoot. You can flash the MK2 Odin .tar in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+): http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358541050
From there you can obtain stock, rooted, NC1(latest 4.4.2 firmware) by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52167774&postcount=3
Hello, just was wondering. With my Att MK2, I know the last OTA from 4.2.2 to 4.3 I just used SuperSU survival mode to keep root. Does this work as well going in to 4.4? Or should I still be avoiding 4.4 OTA like the plague? Thanks.
The NC1 build got root. Search for towelroot

Ok so when I update, I would become "NC1" then? Is it even worth switching over to?
I'm looking to root a Verizon S5 running 4.4.4 (G900VVRU1ANK2). I updated to 5.0 and didn't want it so I flashed back, but towelroot doesn't work for this version either. Is there a way to step it back to 4.4.2 and it work? Thanks!

Download this, flash via Odin, then root again. You will be on NGC, 4.4.2
