Lollipop update if rooted. - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenever the Note 4 gets an official Lollipop update, do you think if it's rooted there will be issues since knox will be tripped? I've read a lot of articles about how secure 5.0 will be. I don't know so that's why I'm asking you guys.

The original version of Kingo is not approved. The current version has no issues. I used it and many others have. If you are worried about sending out information, then any APP you have installed is a potential threat. They do not have to list all the requirements an app needs in the store.
If you download Kingo to your PC and start to install it there is a terms of service you have to agree to. In that TOS on line 5 the makers of Kings state they do not remove, copy, or send any data from your PC or device to be rooted.
That being said if they are found to be sending any sort of data or info then you can sue them for Violation of that term.
Kingo is the only safe and brick/mistake proof method for MJ5 right now and many of us have used it with no issues.
Does Kingo trip the the KNOX flag? I really want to root this device and get rid of some of the bloatware on it. BUT since its only about 3 days old and I have a contract I don't want to make it un-replaceable if something else happens.
Also I read that 4.4 will be released... Ive been with ATT for years and have found them to be a bit slow on updates. Will we get 4.4 or not?
Thanks

Kingo does not trip KNOX. It also has the ability to be unrooted by reconnecting to PC and unrooting or Go into SU on the phone and select unroot. Then the phone will be as though you never rooted it. I have confirmed this works on MJ5 as well.
As for 4.4, I doubt you will see it on the N3. Samsung likes to hold out for the next device for the new Android version. So if they make a Note 4 then 4.4 will be released to it. The only chance N3 users have for 4.4 is if the Bootloader is ever unlocked or use Safestrap once somebody makes a ROM based on KitKat.
I'd argue we Will see kitkat myself. This is the best att has right now IMHO. And of wager at lest one more major update.

[Q] Not up to date with S5 at all. Update to Lollipop and keep root?

My girlfriend has an AT&T Galaxy S5. She's on Android version 4.4.2 (baseband version G900AUCU2AND3, build number KOT49H.G900AUCU2AND3). She's rooted with towelroot.
She's very keen on updating to Lollipop. The reason for this is that she's a very avid photographer and takes many shots on her phone. She is REALLY interested in trying out the RAW image processing.
I'd just like to know if she can update and keep root. So if anyone could help me out here or point me in the right direction since I don't know my way around this forum, that would be fantastic. Thank you very much.
Once we get a leak or the actual release, we won't know what Lollipop will have in store for the Dev's root wise. Everything now is speculative though the International version(G900F) has had good success with root and Lollipop.

I'm sorry, I just saw something after a quick Google that led to believe there *was* a release. So you're saying as of now, there's no Lollipop on G900, root or not?

The g900f, which is the over seas version, has had a limited release with lollipop. AT&T version, G900A, does not have lollipop yet.

No AT&T release as of yet, and even when (IF) it does drop and IF root is obtainable it is a longshot whether or not we will have SafeStrap or any other type of custom recovery

[Q] Question about ordering an S6 online/What android version it will come with.

Okay, first of all let me apologize if this is not the correct area for this thread. So tomorrow I'm going to buy an S6 from T-Mobile through their website, and overnight it to my house. Basically what I'd like to know is this: What are the rough odds of it shipping with Android 5.0.2? Also, if it ships with 5.1.1, is there any way I can downgrade it? Like using odin +Stock firmware? I don't really care if that trips knox, I'd just like to be able to root my new S6 Thank you
~Torvek
Once again, sorry if this is the wrong area Be gentle.
Nobody knows. It may ship with 5.0.2 but it may have 5.1.1 out of the box. No you cannot downgrade. Either way, 5.1.1 is rootable

Since 5.1.1 is rootable, (which I wasn't aware of ) I guess it doesn't matter which version it ships with! Thank you I do appreciate it.

Just note that 5.0.2 is rootable without tripping KNOX, but 5.1.1 is only rootable by tripping KNOX (for now)
5.1.1 is only about a week old, so I don't think there is any batches of S6 that are updated yet, majority are still on 5.0.2 if I had to venture a guess.

That's what I was hoping. Yeah I was aware that rooting 5.0.2 wouldn't trip knox I'm just hoping I get a good one with no issues *crosses fingers*

Updateing TMOBILE NOTE 4 To 5.1.1

Hi,
I have a few questions regarding updating my T-mobile Note 4 (SM-N910T)
And have not yet received the 5.1.1 update I'm on 5.0.1.
So if I do this manual update will my warranty remain?
Is it safe?
Will my phone still be official stock?
Will I be able to use automatic updates in the future?
Thanks.

T-Mobile has not received an update to 5.1.1 for the SM-910T. The only phone that has 5.1.1 is the SM-910T3 which has different hardware. Be sure you know which phone you have before you even consider upgrading.

Wow didn't know there was a difference probably why I kept getting Auth failed and gave up
T-Mobile has the update for SM-N910T, they just haven't released it. Samsung gave the update to the carriers. Sprint is the only carrier to release the update to the public OTA, to this date. Like Alkali said, SM-N910T3 has 5.1.1 and that's because the phone is a revised version and was shipped with the latest. As far as I know, you can only get the T3 from a warranty standpoint. I could be wrong.
That's why. I haven't done it lol I'm on jump and getting the note 5 trading my note 4 in. I figured it will tick them off that my phone is on 5.1.1 probably be like "how did you get this build?"

If you had taken the time to actually search (you don't even need the search function), you would have learned the easy way rather than making 3 threads all asking how to root an AT&T that:
SM-G900A running JellyBean (5.1) and MarshMallow (6.0.1) can not be rooted.
Stop creating umpteen threads asking the same damned thing or the mods will end up banning you for breaking the rules.

I don't think that's completely right. At the moment 5.1.1 Lollipop is rooted if you are PA2 or under. Marshmallow remains unrooted but it is possible to downgrade to 5.1.1 PA2 for root.
5.1
