If you have 4.3, there is no root...as of yet.

A little time searching would have answered this easily.

Accept update to 4.4 if I want root?

Hi all!
I just got an att moto x of Craigslist.
I'm planning on rooting it.
It hasn't been updated to 4.4 yet.... Is there a problem accepting the update if I want to root /unlock?

JCase has rooted 4.4 but don't take the update yet go to rootzwiki and his tutorial on how to do it is there. You start with 4.2.2.

A) answers don't always come in less than an hour. Sometimes they don't come at all. B) There is no ability to flash a ROM on an i537 as it has a locked bootloader. The only way to use a different ROM is with Safestrap. C) There is no root for the OTA 4.3. D) You need to use some periods and commas so your posts make some sense.
thanks I know the bootloader is locked and we can't get custom recovery the roots helps and fix alot of issues on android phones .. i used safestrap on MF1 with s4 Google Edition and Hyperdrive ROMs

Upgraded to NB4, first time root options?

Long time lurker, first time poster...
So I'm a new N3 owner and currently at N900AUCUBNB4 on the handset, and I'm trying to root my phone.
From what I'm reading, Kingo is broken unless you've previously rooted, which I have not. Does anyone have any working alternatives that don't trigger knox until an updated Kingo build releases? My ultimate goal is to root and then flash a kitkat rom to the handset.
Whatever you read is wrong...
Look in the general section.

Kingo worked on my NB4. I used version 1.1.8. I had to reflash my note 3 since I used the AT&T bloat remover and followed the link below. Kingo rooted my note 3 faster then the first time I did it. I think a virgin pit and image made a huge difference.

I can confirm that what he said is correct. I just rooted using 1.1.5 this morning, and it took the first time.

So here's what I ultimately did, which worked flawlessly:
1) Went through the MJ5 restore (and root step) detailed here.
2) Updated to OTA NB4.
3) Downloaded Kingo 1.1.8 from here, installed, and rooted NB4 successfully.
4) Confirmed rooted on NB4 and no knox trip!
Thanks for the input, everyone. :good:
Glad you were able re root.

Nb4 root
I can also confirm a first time root immediately after the nb4 OTA update. Brand new handset. Kingo 1.2 failed but 1.15 worked first time. FWIW I had to use the USB 3 cable.
1.1.8 did not work
NB4 and 1.1.8 did not work for me. Tried twice with it failing both times. USB debugging and Unknown sources both enabled. Can't seem to find 1.1.5 does anyone have the link?
Also what's all this about Kingo being a sketchy root application?

Kingo is not a sketchy root application.
I have seen people say that the newest version of Kingo will be able to root NB4

Unroot files/stock firmware 4.4.2 AT&T GN3

So the AT&T Note 3s just got a 4.4.2 KitKat update, but I am currently rooted and want to unroot, so I need the stock 4.4.2 firmware files. Does anyone know if these are available yet and if not, how long it usually takes for it to be released? I'm a noob here and rooting and unrooting my Nexus 5 was far easier, so please excuse me if I'm asking some dumb questions.
Thanks

G900A root Lollipop

Hey there,
I have read through tons of threads and google searches but I can't seem to find a straight answer with a guide. I just got an S5 G900A (AT&T) Preloaded with 5.0 Lolipop. I'm wanting to know is there a way to root the phone without tripping Knox?
I currently use an S3 with 4.1.1 that does what I need, All I'm wanting to be able to do to the S5 is load FoxFi & Titanium Backup to use as a hotspot and remove bloatware, I'm still within my 2 weeks if the phone is unable to be rooted I really have no need for it and able to return at this moment as It has only been powered on to check.
Thanks
No way to root 5.0 on the S5 at this point. I seriously doubt a method will come out before your return period. If root is that important to you, return it.
