Another user tried in a separate thread that I started about this in the Flex Q&A section and was unsuccessful with trying towelroot and stumproot...

I myself had no issues rooting with stumproot on ZV9. Just be sure to install the updated supersu 2.37 afterwards, It worked just fine for me.

So y'all were rooted.... Updated... Lost root... Then just rebooted with stump?
Jessooca said:
I flashed the tot file restoring it to stock, continued to apply all the over the air updates until i got to zv9 then -making sure usb debugging in developer options was enabled, installed stump root and let it do it's thing, rebooted, installed the latest apk of supersu 2.39 (i didn't use supersu via play store though, i downloaded it from chainfire) installed the binary as "normal" then rebooted and it's been rooted with no issues as it should be.

I tried this method step by step with the exception of flashing the tot file since I'm already on zv9, got supersu through chainfire and still nothing what am I missing?

What exactly is the R5 radio player?

Try this supersu
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95857557620392537
Try simply installing this and if it still does not work then wipe the cache and data of supersu remove the version you have installed, reboot and try installing this after that
Be sure usb debugging is enabled in developer options and unknown sources is checked as well.

Usually U r unable to install update while rooted. Check ur version again after updating. In ur case i'd suspected u r still on the same version.
One way to take the updates that u r on stock rom.

Using this method you can manually update your phone and it downloads the 24A KDZ to your PC. The KDZ stacks up to 2gb. I haven't completed the install yet (using hotspot to download KDZ on laptop), but I would assume this does a complete factory reset. Will update when I have completed it.

I know you want to do this,but I'd think about it. It's possible you'll lock your device down. I'd wait til the devs get this first. And look for news from them that it's safe and you can downgrade if needed. My 2 cents.

While there is a good chance it will still work. It might not. But if it didn't root would be obtained soon most likely. The bigger worry is the boot loader. No custom recovery potentially. If last minute stuff was added etc... Might be fine. But I wouldn't take a chance on locking my device til I was sure. S4 been locked since July. Many a tear over there for taking ota.

Good to know. I went ahead and restored to 10B via TOT method (I had the intial hacked 24B without the kernel and what not). Performed the update via KDZ per Droid Life article and lost root. Re-rooted via IORoot25 and all is up and running. I'm content with Google Experience Launcher and Hotspot hack. Might try and flash TWRP via the previous 24A methods.

There's an app called autorec that takes care of the recovery on official kit Kat. I manually installed OTA and have twrp. I'm also running a stock kit Kat kernel with linaro.

I don't see how they updated using the KDZ method. What steps did they take? I think they just plugged in their phone and it just worked somehow.

Step 1: Download and install LG Unified Driver for Windoze PC
Step 2: Download the 2GB VS98024A file on your PC and move the file into LG PC Suite directory
Step 3: Put your phone in "Download mode" (see Youtube video link above)
Step 4: Download and install LG PC suite and follow its directions (see XDA link above to learn how to use LG PC Suite)
Step 5: Profit
Oh, and it helps to RTFM :silly:
The file has been approved by Verizon. Just saw it on my phone but it's not 2gb, more like 690mb.

Just got the new update in from Samsung for my sm-g900F.
Using the phone for about an hour now and one thing that is noticeably better is the fingerprint sensor. I've tried the weirdest angles I could think of and it still works! Much less errors than before.
Overall phone also seems to be responding to commands better but I'll know for sure after a fee days of use.
Still waiting for a Play edition so I can have aosp now!
What update? I'm in Scotland and haven't received any

Well if you have root why not flash the new rom with Mobile Odin Pro straight away and enable Everroot and the other 2 options and also keep root.
For everyone that didn't receive the new ANG2 update yet:
My XtreStoLite stock ROM is already based on this firmware already since yesterday.

I noticed that we have less free ram in total! Is that so? Or is it just me?

Yup! Showing 325 MB free for me right now. But in use the phone is definitely much smoother.
So smoother operation in a 250mb update, less ram available and still 4.4.2 droid. Makes me curious for the whatsnew log. I really hoped for 4.4.4 by now since other very expensive flagships left 4.4.2 ages ago in modern Phone time table

What is your software version? If it's V10E, there is no root exploit available. Only fix for that is to downgrade to V10C then re-root. If still on V10C, I'd suggest trying PurpleDrake to root it since TowelRoot doesn't seem to be working.

Were you able to download today's update, and install it? From what I understand, it will not let you install due to the changes in the system partition due to root.
That's right. He will be able to download the update but not to install it.
