Thanks

Does anyone have the .tot or .kdz update file for this or any possibility that you have a recovery of your 4.4.2 that I can push? I can't find this anywhere.
Wouldn't towelroot work for you?

Will this work with the soak? Also doesn't really address the issue since the soak will require all the native apps and such to be present.

IF all you care about is the new OTA, and you DONT wish to keep root access, which the new OTA prevents then just Flash the stock firmware file with RSD LITE per the thread. If you however want to RETAIN root, and be on the new OTA update, then follow that link, which will allow the OTA to be applied to your phone, while you keep root access.
Yes but does this apply to soak....

Whats the difference? Is the soak test still not an OTA just pushed out to a select few?
Well don't you need to have all the stock apps intact?

I think it depends on what version you have. I have the sprint version (LS995) and was able to root using IOroot25 on kitkat.

Hello! I bought a new Galaxy Note 3 N900A yesterday and I've rooted all of my Samsung phones before, but I'm getting mixed messages on the internet and the forums that it can't be rooted. Can it be rooted?

Kingo doesn't work on KitKat. It only works on Jellybean.
If you're on 4.4.2 you can root with Towelroot (search on Google and you'll find the apk). If you're on 4.4.4 there are threads the AT&T Note 3 general section about how to root that.

You're absolutely right. I rooted using Kingo on 4.3. I rememeber towelroot not working for me though on 4.4 on the n900 but give it a whirl.

When I was digging around the internet getting confused about rooting this device, I saw people were having issues with KNOX? Do I need to worry about that if I root with Towelroot?

If you are gonna use OTA update, your system must be unmodified : not rooted, not changing any system file (including boot logo), and using stock recovery.

I'm trying to upgrade my buddie's phone here. Not very familiar with the s5 community and what's available..
Can this phone be rooted, TWRP'd, and flashed to nougat or marshmallow officially or otherwise?
Please help, any advice is appreciated.. Thanks
Depends on what version of android you have now if it can be rooted. If you have lollipop or marshmallow, then no, there is no root. Marshmallow is available via ota update.

Also, is root even needed for flashing custom ROMs?

Those instructions are for KitKat, it was patched in Lollipop.
Give me the baseband version of your phone (in settings, looks something like G900AUCU4BOF3)

As of now all you can try is Kingroot, which may or may not work (haven't tested it). Let's see if we can get as far as root and then we'll go into ROMing

NO DON'T!! YOU WILL BLOW A QFUSE AND THE PHONE WILL NEVER EVER BE ROOTABLE!
Your best bet is to wait for an iovyroot build and try that

Well my buddy will accept leaving his phone on official lollipop, but would at least like all the att apps removed...
Can I uninstall these apps rather than disable them? No root = no titanium backup [emoji52]
