Do you guys think the lollipop update will help the chance of a root method being found? When the update comes out should I do it right then and there or wait to see if lollipop will completely ruin any chance
There was an article from ChainsDD saying that if anything lollipop is more locked down. My bet is, if their going to get root it's going to be on KitKat.

Wouldn't we have root by now then? I only say because KitKat doesn't seem that hard to root even though it varies depending on OEM. I would think since lollipop for the Droid Turbo isn't too far off (we hope) Then devs would just wait til then for root because most people will take the lollipop update. At least that's how it looks to me and this is my opinion
I'm pretty sure Lollipop will come with root.

Curious what makes you say that? Info? From what I've read it seems like lollipop is going to kill root.

Please explain I'm intrigued
To sum up what I think he means is he believes that root will be obtained in lollipop for the Droid Turbo ( Again just guessing)
I think reduces chances of root
I say helps. Because pretty soon all current moto phones will be on lollipop anyways

I'm by no means a techie-guy, but I really miss root, so I can run Titanium Backup and have the free hot-spot.

My opinion is that Kit Kat doesn't have root NOT because its impossible but because the lack of interest from the people that find these exploits, perhaps its just a matter of time before one of these guys gets a Turbo and works on it or so we hope.
Finding these exploits is not easy an requires insane amounts of personal time and resources, often with little reward. I understand that there's a bounty on this site but this site is just a star in a galaxy. Sometimes these exploits are found by Asian hackers not Americans therefore the audience is very limited on a Verizon exclusive device like our Turbo.
I do however believe, and this is just my opinion and perhaps wishful thinking, that Lollipop will shine a spotlight on this device and people will notice it even more and perhaps attract some of these guys willing to spend hours after hours finding that one vulnerability in that one line code where they can inject their own code to achieve root. Good luck to us!

I bet the differ. No phone would come out with an update with root included. An exploit needs to be found. Even chainfire states that root access is going to be harder with lollipop. I dont think we will be seeing root anytime soon. Atleast for a year.
I hope he didn't actually mean the update would be rooted already.
Who do I need to donate/lend a Turbo to for this to happen?

Currently there is only one person actively working on it and he already has a turbo. The ones that have done this before stated they dont have the time to do this. So no one.

Sammobile doesn't have any firmwares for the At&t note 4. Probably because they don't have root yet.

You don't need root to flash official factory images.
T-mobile note 4 has an unlocked bootloader. That's greater than android Z on a locked bootloader device.

So is Bell and most other carriers in Canada are scheduled to release within days
I have to ask... What is it that you're expecting to gain from Lollipop? Is there something you're not able to do on KK? Are there apps that you can't use? Sure, I'm waiting for Lollipop too... But I'm waiting patiently because I know ours is going to take a little longer due to WiFi-Calling. It's not as simple as taking what Samsung gives to the carriers and they just slap their software on it. So, seriously... why everyone is crying over Lollipop taking so long?
Plus we cant use xposed still right? So i guess ill be staying on kk

I'm pretty sure Xposed still doesn't work on Samsung ROMs.
Consider the tmo version has root and the vzw version hasn't have root until today. It's more lucky to be on this side than there.

You should switch to Verizon to enjoy that lollipop update. yeah, sayb ye to your unlocked bootloader. I don't understand why you complaint.
I dont get it
There is almost nothing in Lolipop thats different. I'll take unlocked bootloaders, root and wifi calling any day.

Xposed doesn't work with Lollipop TouchWiz ROMs. It only works with AOSP/CM based 5.0+ ROMs.

I'm sure they do. We'll just have to sit back, relax, and wait for it to be released. Until then I'm sticking with good ol' tried and true KitKat.
Verizon lol
Verizon locked bootloaders and stone age cdma technology...... No thanks.

Same here man, and thank you for answering my question. Hope you guys have a great weekend!
not too concerned about verizon considering it's still locked in terms of bootloader.
I ain't too worried about LP either.... KK is just fine.
I do wish we had more kernel options though (real kernel options)

I really like trusted devices in lollipop. Yeah you can probably concoct a tasker recipe to do the same thing but it's not as convenient. That being said I can wait on lollipop, however you shouldn't dismiss it as an unimportant update. Tmobile won't be far behind.
The fact that Verizon...............VERIZON got the lollipop update before T-Mobile is very ****ed up on T-Mobile behalf.
The Note 4 has gotten no love since release. Pretty sad for a next gen device.
Lmfao. Might I ask what do you plan on getting when you get lollipop. What is so special about it that a themer can't do.
BAD ASS NOTE 4

Yep http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-android-7-0-nougat-beta-726792/
Looks like Nougat beta is coming very soon (in the next few days) so I wouldn't be surprised if we got Nougat by the end of the month. But I also wouldn't be surprised if it didn't come around until the end of the year.

I wouldn't be so quick to blame Samsung. It's Vzw. They have to strip out useful features they charge for. Add their trash and then remember to upload it to their update servers.

I believe the beta is filled, you could try by downloading Galaxy Beta Program from Samsung app store. And yes it is for stock Verizon. They are pushing Sprint's beta today, Verizon tomorrow, and T-Mobile on Saturday.
Will there be any soon?
I just ordered the official US variant, and was hoping to root ASA(O)P
You can't expect it to be a factory image out already of we haven't got our hands on the us model device. Patience is key. Give it time to get the devs rolling in.
