I haven't seen anybody mention this, so ignore me if this is common knowledge. I was on my stock 4.2 rooted ROM with CWM recovery and I got the 4.2.1 system update. Attempted it with CWM... And it worked. But not only did it work, after I choose reboot phone, CWM warned me that the ROM I just installed might try to flash stock recovery, and asked if I'd like to fix it. It then warned that I might lose root, again asking if I'd like to fix it. So now I'm on 4.2.1. Through system update. Kept CWM and root. Awesome!

I'm also on T-Mobile in US, Chicago and I have not gotten update. I rooted the 18th before any Roms were out. Tried a few went back to stock so I'm wondering what I haven't got update. :/

this is interesting I didn't know it did this at all.. wonder if TWRP does a similar thing then?

Can confirm I flashed through CWM, rooted and on Stock 4.2
CWM warns of the stock ROM flashing stock recovery and also of possibly losing root'n'toot
What fun, flashing for dummies (me) made easier!
I was looking forward to buying this phone instead of the GS3 as I'm on T-Mobile. However, when I was browsing through the Development section I don't see anything. Can anyone inform me on why this phone doesn't have that much ROM support yet?

Locked boot loader my man. We have root now. Root and safestrap are pretty recent, so that's why there are limited ROMs. We couldn't root for a while, but now we can, but only if you stay on ICS to root before upgrading to the leaked JB.

Another thing is that we only have 8Gb of internal storage, thus leaving little room for ROM slots on the internal sdcard using SS3 recovery.
I just finished an internal/external memory swap script in the DEV section, so this should help free up some space for ROMs.

There are two different Atrix HD ROM's out as of 12/02/2012. Must not have looked very hard.

Yes, I've rooted, installed safestrap, made a back up. Haven't tried that script to switch internal and external memory yet, sounds scary.
Just saw on Engadget that Razr HD and Razr HD Maxx just got 4.1 official. Hope that comes to Atrix HD too (and all carriers).

Really curious to see if we have any Devs working on the AT&T S5 yet? If so, when do you all think we can expect to start seeing some stuff in the development threads? Obviously BL needs unlocking, if possible. Do we know of anyone working on this?
Thanks Guys!!!

My S5 is coming in today. Locked boot loader means no development ever except for maybe some safe strap stuff much later down the road which is just rehash of stock roms. No AOSP or CM.

I personally don't really care about roms, as I like the new Touchwiz and don't want to lose some of its nice features. I would like to have root, though. Hopefully someone finds a way for that to happen soon.

Chainfire needs to the stock recovery to build root for the device, basically auto root by chainfire modifies stock recovery temporarily, flashes su then flashes back stock firmware through odin.

You can't pull recovery without root on your device, the only thing we ATT users can do is wait for Samsung to post the firmware which they havent, SM-G900A is the ATT model number, Tmo and Sprint are already up so they already have root.

Keep in mind guys that if the ATT BL is locked chances are CF Root will fail to flash or boot even if CF builds one for ATT...also if this happens knox warranty is tripped leaving you without warranty coverage and no root...likely a new KK exploit will have to be found...hope I'm wrong about the BL as I'd like to get rid of bloat before handing the phone off to GF..

There won't be anything if devs cant find a root exploit
When marshmellow comes out will anyone from here be working on an exploit for root? Is it just down to the locked boot loader or with a whole new OS is it possible for a new exploit to arise.
I'm not really sure if there will be ANY more development for this device.
All we can do is wait and see.
The only way I can see an exploit is if the one that was found for the AT&T galaxy s6 is made to work for ours.
i thought we were supposed to get marshmallow by now or today at least.

I just really hope that work does get done. I don't want to find out that my less than a year old phone, that I got last August, is already getting kicked to the side of the road, and then driven over because development of root was harder than for other phones.

My only real concern is because of the boot loader lock down by Verizon is just going to shut down all development. There has to be a way to unlock the boot loader or there has to be an exploit found for us to get a root.

bootloaders have always been locked by samsung but vzw prevents us from unlocking it.. regardless its been this way for a while even on the s4 and prior.. nothing new.. MM doesnt really have much to do with it.. doesnt change the fact some bright person still needs to find an exploit to even root as always and i no longer expect bl unlocks on Sammy devices with Verizon
Sent from my SM-G925V using XDA-Developers mobile app
The only problem with MM is that a patched kernel is required for root or the device won't boot, trusted boot. So without an unlocked bootloader, no modified kernel will pass through this device. Unless an exploiter triumphs a new level.

sounds about right.. isnt this why chainfire now uses systemless root?
Sent from my SM-G925V using XDA-Developers mobile app
Well I think systemless root started as being a way to avoid problems with OTA updates failing because of modified system partition and also keeping Android pay working, then progressed to see it seems to me the most streamlined method. But as far as root goes he's made the installer patch the boot.img, disable forced encryption, and install in systemless mode. I went ahead and took the update because I'm fairly confident no one will feel like attempting a bootloader exploit for the S6. I just do all my tinkering on my 6p.
