Hi, I am new to rooting the android. I tried looking around but couldn't find a clear guide.
I am looking on how to update my verizon Galaxy Note 3 that's on version 4.3 MJ7 (Hyperdrive RLS4 rom, model N900V) while preserving the root. Or would I have to loose root for a while and then re-root? Ultimately I am looking to install the newest Hyperdrive rom, but I believe I would have to update the stock firmware first?
Would be great to get some tips on how to do this. Thanks!

I have a rooted Note 3 AV 4.3 MN SM-N900W8, I rooted without issue with the CF autoroot, now I know there is the new 4.4 kitkat update but I can not auto update without unrooting, What I am looking for is recommendations from others as to what they did to update (either unrooting or rom install) and if your willing could you tell me what you did and include any links to ROMs you used etc,
Thanks so much

Hello guys,
I have a note 3 n9005 model I decided to update my firmware with the recently released Polish lolipop firmware using odin and everything was great, after 3 days of use it appears that lollipop is a bit laggy and sometimes hangs for a while that's why I want downgrade to Kitkat, also i would like to mention that I have updated the bootloader while flashing by ticking the update bootloader button in odin.
Now what's the possibilities of using odin again to downgrade to official Kitkat using one package file?
If not possible what if I have flashed a separate bootloader file then used odin with official kitkat is that even possible ?
Furthermore, I was thinking about rooting my Lollipop then flash a custom recovery and then wipe data and cache to install a flashable custom Kitkat.
My request is that I need someone experienced to confirm with me on what should I do without risking bricking my N3, I'm going to die with it if it's bricked
Thanks in advance for your support.
Regards,
Where is the great supporters ? Not even a one reply :crying:

Lolipop is rootable search the forum, and this not my question actually I'm asking what if i rooted it then installed a cwm based recovery to flash Kitkat, will this work or I'm risking for a brick or bootloop or any other problems?
If you have the right answer please answer it with prove, if not this thread is not for bored ppl that don't provide any fruitful feedback.

Is it possible to downgrade the N910F from Lollipop (POF2) to KitKat (ANK5)?
YES, IT IS POSSIBLE.
Before yesterday I've never used KitKat on my Note4.. When I bought the phone I had no time to try it (KitKat) because I've straight rooted it and flashed a Lollipop based ROM.
Then yesterday I wanted to try a KitKat based ROM and I've lost about 30/40min looking in the forum for the answer to the question Is it possible to downgrade the N910F from Lollipop (POF2 or whatever) to KitKat (ANK5)?
I could not find a proper answer.. there was this BOF5 bootloader can not be downgraded but it was always in a "strange contest" and it did not convinced me.. after 30/40min I said ***k *t and I just performed a full wipe from TWRP, flashed ANK5 modem and bootloader via ODIN, and installed the KitKat ROM from TWRP.
Sorry for the Question/Answer but this thread may will help someone to save time.
P.S.: My KitKat adventure lasted only 10min... It looked ugly to my eyes! Went back on POF2 and now trying out AICP

When you flashed that lollipop-based rom, that was a custom rom I assume? Did it contain a bootloader? Maybe you were still on the KitKat bootloader.

Yes, it was a custom ROM. No, it didn't contain bootloader. No, I wasn't on the KitKat bootloader, for sure my bootloader was POF2. Trust me if I tell you that before the KitKat ROM I've flashed too many Lollipop ROMs with many Lollipop bootloaders.
I'm trying to do this but i fail in every action at odin with this SW rev. check fail. device 2 binary 1 in my SM-N910C and in odin its fail... ( i gets this after recovering my phone at kies after a bootloop )

Install Custom Recovery Samsung Galaxy AT&T S4 SGH-I337 Ver 5.0.1 Non-Rooted. OK2
Hello, I Want to do some modifications to my Samsung Galaxy S4 and Have so many questions that I am not sure were to start? Yes I'm a noob but learning. I have a SGH-I337 phone that is unlocked so I use it for T-mobile. The phone came with KitKat 4.4.2 NB1 firmware but I managed to update it manually to the latest firmware OK2.
What I would like to do is install a custom recovery and install a clean non bloated Rom. Maybe a custom such as CyanogenMod? Questions: Is there any recovery software that will work on my present upgraded phone such as Safestrap, TWARP,PhilZ or CWM and in doing so I am guessing I need to root my phone first? When you root a phone does that unlock the boot loader? I have read articles saying you can only install custom recovery on the older firmware such as kitkat 4.4.2. or unless a update comes out. I also have read articles that I cannot downgrade and am not sure what that means as I have read articles that I can use Odin and reinstall my stock firmware NB1 is that true? Is there a way to downgrade your upgrades?
I see a lot of articles how to install recovery software but they do not always say what firmware version they are installing it to so I wont even try it. I am guessing-it is the older firmware 4.4.2.
I have read I can flash my kernel to an older Kernel such as NB1 then root it install a custom recovery then upgrade the kernel again? Not sure it I can upgrade or downgrade kernels that are for my phone?
I did manage to root my phone awhile back when it had kitkat 4.4.2 NB1 but had problems later on with my touch screen going crazy as if someone was in my phone so I brought it back to stock by using Odin and reinstalling NB1 firmware hoping to fix the problem. After installing stock firmware I decided to upgrade to lollipop 5.0.1 OB2 and that is were I am now. About my touch screen going crazy I have been reading it may be due to cheap USB chargers which I am using but that is another story.
Well any-help or leads would be appreciated.
Maybe if I wait long enough someone will come up with a custom ROM for my latest firmware as well as rooting it?
