[Q] sm-n900v Lollipop ROOT Question - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am not sure if someone already post this but here is my question.
I have had android tablet in the past and have always rooted them for games and TitaniumBackup. I recently got a NOTE 3 from Verizon and was looking to ROOT that also as well but to not avail. For random reasons Verizon locked the boot loader(If I am wrong plz correct me). I just updated to 5.0 Lollipop. Is my device still unrootable ( if that is a term. DERP!!!). The model number is sm-n900v. Can anyone help me? Post links on how to's or anything any help would be grateful. Thank You.

Yea no root

for lollipop 5.0 for verizon note 3, no known root method is out nor available yet.

if you go back to 4.4.4 you'll be able to root some time soon

Wonderful. My extent of developing was putting together some roms (HC and ICS) for the Toshiba Thrive a few years ago, but if I can help in any way to gain root access for Verizon 4.4.4 or 5.0, I'll do what I can.

Cool. I see where you posted to stay on 4.4.4, but nothing about what you're working on. I'm anxious now. So many apps I like require root!

Hi guys, I'm on bone stock 4.4.4 and Verizon is pushing the 5.0 update as we speak.
I've had the note three on stock for too long and I need some new options for multi window etc so I need root. Am I seeing that a root for 4.4.4 is in progress? If so, I'll stay there, but I really want to strap/update to 5.0 afterwords. Anyone have some thoughts about the difficulty of maintaining root on the switch to 5.0?

i would love to be kept int he loop.. i was on 4.4.2 adn foolishly updated to 4.4.4 i just want root again... and if 5.0 can root i would update too

4.4.4 root = confirmed and in progress

Firmware 4.4.4 Link
Anyone please give me the link to download fw 4.4.4. I've tried sammobile link but it's extremly slow and I'm unable to finish download this fw. Many thanks.

CovXX is a baller. Can't wait to root. So upset I locked the boot loader, did it on my note 2 also.

U need to downgrade back to 10o and contact att for the q update. When you have the q update installed use the manual root method for 10o from autoprime. Skip adb step 5. Once rooted take the kitkat update and root will stick.
Thanks for the reply but that sounds like too much work. I'll just wait for an easier method. Thank you

even the s3 wasnt all that great.my wife got one i touched it for about 10min. instantly got rid of it. nothing spectacular.
I rooted mine on 4.2 via kingoapp.com. Root stayed with the 4.4.2 update but if it didn't I was going back to Kingo to root again. I've rooted 4 different phones with it, the last being a T-Mobile Nexus 5 with KitKat and it's always worked fast and easy. Some people bad mouth it but it works for me.

Didnt realize it would be a staged rollout....
I'm running CM-11, but I haven't seen it the update on Sammobile. I wouldn't think these sold in such numbers to warrant a staged rollout either, though.

Me either, all these sites say it released but no one that i talk to that has one has the update.... so are they just going by the samsung site that you have the link to? I was pretty amped earlier when i read about this then i cant get the update. Its just disappointing lol
I'm just waiting for root for it then I will update. I don't want to update and not be able to remove the crap I don't use. If I knew how to make a rooted version, I would do it but I don't know anything about development. Oh well, I guess the wait won't kill me.
Sammy Jumped The Gun
It is starting to seem as if Samsung jumped the gun on this one. I think they released it alright, but released it to TMO for testing, etc. I know quite a few people that have this exact same model on TMO and they all live in different areas of the country. Not one has received it. Samfirmware has no link for it, and they don't even mention it. And for the most part if there is a new version out, they know and quick. And of course 4.4.4 is not available in KIES.
This is why I believe Sammy sent 4.4.4 to TMO and not to us, or at least not yet. We all know how the carriers are. At this point I'd rather not have 4.4.4 and wait for 5.0, but it will be a very long wait, unless I go CM12 when it is stable...

You're using CM-11 for the P607T model of the tablet? I've been looking for months for ROMs but haven't found any that work specifically for the P607T, which is the Tmo variant of the tablet.
Those who have 4.4.4, can you still root with Towelroot?
I am contemplating buying the P607t, which probably will have 4.4.4 by now and would not buy it if there is no root for 4.4.4 that won't trip KNOX. I returned the Wifi version for this exact reason.

I think you are absolutely correct
I just got the 4.4.4 update
Received 4.4.4 update
Update rolled out to my device as well.
I went ahead with the update, since all I really used root for was Titanium Backup and ES File Explorer.
Failed first time (likely because of root)
Removed root (under Cleanup section of super su FULL Cleanup)
Second attempt succeeded.
Towelroot failed to reroot.
If you are dependent on root, don't update until there is a new method found. Looks like towelroot is plugged on this one.

I got the notification for the update this morning, holding off until someone can confirm root capability. As with any new update, we will need to wait until people can get their hands on it and mess around to see if rooting is possible.
What are your initial thoughts on 4.4.4?

Verizon note 3 lollipop?

Does anyone have a leaked firmware update to 5.0 lollipop? For the sm-n900v (verizon)
Every other carrier already has it out. I'm on 4.4.4 kitkat. And want to update. I will root if nessasary as long as it doesn't affect knox. Thank you in advance.
Lol you should really read threads and look for information before posting. Most people wont even bother with your question if its already answered in a thread somewhere . First of you cant root 4.4.4. as of yet. I have a bounty going to get some incentive to get root. But it looks to be locked down tight and i dont see it coming anytime soon. No your stuck reguardless if there is a leak or not you have to wait for the upgrade release by verizon i would recommend not getting the firmware if you want root and wait to see what happens with development.

My Verizon Galaxy s5 has a update... is there a new root out?

When I first got my Version s5 I learned I could not root. I noticed a update this morning and don't want to install because I have been waiting to root. In hopes some one has figured it out? My phone is "BOG5" build and last I checked it was unrootable. Just making sure I don't miss out on rooting finally. And if there is no root should I still not install the update?
Update note: I looked and could not root "bog5", so I updated now my phone is running android 5.0 with build "Bok3". Is this rootable?
Thanks

I thought the same thing. I didn't think it would hurt to ask. I was looking into the update and it's been sent out since the end of last year. I was hoping someone found something in the new build that they could exploit to root. Also there is word that the s5 is rootable but it's not available. Idk but I hope some figures out the root. If I knew how or even enough about it I would try. Stupid company's locking the bootloader make me angery. Lol

It is rootable <OE1. Not above. There's rumor that the bootloader can be unlocked, not that higher firmwares are rootable. Regardless, still a rumor.

6045O Update to MM

For any users of the 6045O device from Cricket Do Not!! use Mobile Upgrade Q to revert back to 5.0.2. IT will not work. Just tried and it upgraded me to 6.0.1. If you want to revert back you MUST use the Eluga Switch program.

If you want to update just let the update come. It'll be automatic. The reason I was using Mobile Upgrade Q is because my phone was rooted and I was returning to cricket firmware. I need the partitions for the cricket variant to get my phone working again.

It's also been close to 3 months later so with updates to the program things might change. Since I don't have the phone anymore I can't test old versus new so all I can say is good for you and hopefully it continues to work for you if you run across any issues.

I hope that there is continued support for the Idol 3. It was a good phone to me and I loved it. I was going to get the Idol 4, but for the price the phone internals weren't worth it. At 299 the Idol 4 would've been perfectly priced.
