[Q] So should I hold off on rooting now?

I saw the drama with Kingo and the Root de la vega thread is closed.. does this mean we should hold off on rooting for the time being?

I think many still have de la vega and many still have Kingo. Read through some of the post and decide. I had Kingo root and my phone worked perfect. Custom lock was gone after installing wanum knox was still 0 as was warranty. I think it just comes down to a choice. I chose to unroot until this issue is worked out. I still have both files on my computer just waiting s few days to see what comes of this topic

I just flashed root de la Vega again and it was fine. I'm even on MI1 firmware. No issues whatsoever. Knox still at 0x0

Been using De La Vega since DG released MI9 root. No problems ever since and still happy. I probably will go back to stock when there is a new important OTA but till then, I'll be enjoying my root

[Q] Downgrade after OTA Update Possible?

Hey Guys, I was out of the country for the past month. I got back yesterday only to find my phone got the OTA update and i didn't want that as i was planning to root it. My question is can i still root it or is there a way to roll back my phone? Any help is appreciated guys. Much thanks!

I believe you can still use kingoroot. Be warned this method delivers some info about your phone to their servers. But to the best of my knowledge this is currently our only option.

Thanks. I would rather not use this option if I can help it. Any other options?

Do not use the Root De la Vega method on your MJ5 or you will create an unrecoverable brick. kraz

Yeah you can use de la vega, that's what I just did a few days ago right after getting my note 3. I'm still on mi9 right now. Must remember to use app like titanium to freeze ATT software update ASAP, just in case an auto update ruins everything.

You can't flash on this phone but you can use Safestrap to fake flash. There is a huge thread on it in the development section for this phone.

Even works on new updated firmware At&t pushed out.
N900AUCUBMJ5
Kingo is updated http://www.kingoapp.com/. They have more updates coming.
Lot of people now trust this method and It is one of the only ways to root right now.
I am using this method and have been since it came out.
11/26/13 On a warranty replacement with latest Kingo Root and firmware.
No problems what so ever, phone is perfect so far.
This method is so much faster and works perfectly.
Confirmed and working great on AT&T Note 3.
Does not trip the knox counter.
(It does show Custom Status but you can change it)
No factory reset, and no wiping data !!!!!!
One Click and your done.
SUPERSU
After that you can install XposedInstaller and WANAM.
There are some kool things you can do with that.
For one > Make it show Official Status instead of Custom.
My phone is sicker now !!!!!!! SWEET

Wanam Xposed
I have rooted my SM-N900A with Kingo root. I installed Exposed. And I have installed the Wanam module for Xposed. Under Security hacks, I have checked Fake system status. However, on reboot, it still says custom. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Or what else I might need to do?

Make sure Wanam exposed is checked off inside of xposed installer under the modules section that will fix your problem if not try updating installer then will work "you do know you need installer correct

Yes. I installed it first. Downloaded .apk from XDA. Then downloaded Wanam from Play store. I checked the wanam module in Xposed. Rebooted. Still said custom. Went in and unchecked Fake system status. Rebooted. Checked Fake system status. Rebooted. Still shows custom. Should I uninstall wanam module, reinstall, and check it in xposed before trying to make any changes? Thank you for your help.

I'm trying to think what I did but how I explained in post I swear worked for me cuz I had same problem sorry can't be more of assistance

Not a problem. You did help. You told me about activating the module in Xposed. But I did fix it. I uninstalled wanam, downloaded and installed from the play store again. Then I checked it in Xposed, opened wanam, checked fake status and rebooted. It works now. Thank you for your help.

Glad you got it working

No one knows yet...
Best bet would be upgrade your super user to pro and tell it to attempt to hang onto root when upgrading.

Has it been confirmed we will get 4.4 soon?

From what I heard 4.4 is several months away for AT&T users. AT&T is usually about 6 months behind the initial release of an Android version.
As for the root, King can be uninstalled simply bu going into settings for Super User. Once uninstalled the phone is returned to non-root stock. Then you can run the OTA once it comes. After the update, re-rooting will be the big question. Will Kingo still work? Who knows. Maybe AT&T will lock us down even tighter with that release.

Is there a simpler way to upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4?

Now that we have root for 4.4, I'm planning to upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4, but I haven't come across any simple method to do it. Mazdamiata has a method to do it, but it requires downgrading to MJ5, which would be a huge inconvenience. My update fails at 27% even with all the original apps restored and unfrozen. I have Xposed installed and my device is rooted with Kingo. Any suggestions?

I'm with you! I sat down and wanted to upgrade to kit Kat but following those directions were not easy for me. I am now stuck on 4.3 until there is an easier way to get there. What stinks is there isn't even a YouTube video to show how to go back to mj5 and the upgrade

Isn't there any other solution to safely upgrade without reverting to MJ5?

here you go

Thanks, but it's not a simple method and has steps to install other components which increase the complexity.
Is the best way just to factory reset my device, retain the root and then try to upgrade?

Factory reset then upgrade to kit kat then root with towelroot

You could go to a best buy and request them to reflash it for you.

I've wondered if we undid whatever frozen apps ect then used the kingo unroot if we would get the ability to upgrade.
Kingo renamed some files and installed a few

thats exactly what im currently trying. i went into tibu, did a batch unfreeze, then used kingo to unroot. restarted and am now downloading the update. hopefully it will get me up to kitkat and let me root again with towelroot.

Let us know if it works then all I have to do is unfreeze the updater apo and unroot with kingo
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Free mobile app

nope didn't work... it would download, then when it tries to install the update, it stops at about 24%, reboots and gives an error saying update interrupted.
I tried manually doing it also by putting the update file on SD card and applying in recovery mode... it starts, errors, and wiped my data....
the only way seems to be the harder way heh
