I'm new to rooting.

You will need to downgrade to nce if possible, download towel root then flash back up to 4.4.4. There is a thread in here on how to do it but i can't remember what it's called
I'm sorry the question was incomplete. I meant to say is this possible from just the phone or do I need odin on a PCto flash
Yes search for flash fire , you will findthe thread you're looking for

Hi, I'm a new user & I need to root my GNote. I read the thread by dr.ketan. But I need to root my phone directly (without downgrading). Is it possible now ? or do I need to wait few days (until CF-Root is out for DDLB2) ? or is it mandatory to downgrade it ?
no it's not possible. it has nothing to do with CF root LB2 or the present LB1. you still have to downgrade, root and then upgrade.

Thank you !, Well, I'll downgrade it first then.
btw, will it increase the flash count if I downgrade via PC odin (mentioned in dr.katen's post) ?

No, flashing stock Roms with PC Odin never increases the flash counter. Flashing custom Roms/kernels does.

You want to unroot... which you don't need to to upgrade! Use Odin! Btw, do some reading around here! READ READ READ! AND USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!
but when my phone operator want to make an over air update it download then it say cant upgrade because unlocked bootloader.
I have only root it with abyss kernel. for some apps.
OTA needs stock recovery so stock kernel .. you need to flash stock rom using pc odin or mobile odin to install OTA updates
ok.
Hi all,
My phone is using G900AUCU2AND3. It has been rooted and I also removed a lot of bloatware with Titanium Backup. Because of this, OTAs are failing.
I would like to flash the stock rom G900AUCU2AND3 again, so I can do that. However, I haven't been able to find it.
I only found G900AUCU1ANCE.
If I flash that ROM with ODIN, since that I'm downgrading, will I run into any issues?
Thanks a lot for your help.
the AND3 software is not out. if you have to fix a hard brick, bootloop or want a fresh start, you will need to downgrade to the ANCE firmware, flashing via odin.

This file, flashed via odin, will downgrade you to stock NCE ( minus the bootloader). Once on NCE you can take the ota update to the latest firmware, NG3:

Thanks. I was planning to flash this:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/28224/G900AUCU1ANCE_G900AATT1ANCE_ATT.zip/
Isn't that the same? Just to double check.

The file from sammobile includes the NCE bootloader. Since you already updated the bootloader to ND3 you are unable to downgrade the BL back to NCE, hence my file minus the NCE BL.

I understand now. Thanks a lot!
so i purchased a note 4 off swappa that was rooted it I was looking at flashing a lollipop rom. the phone is currently running android 4.4.4 and baseband n910tuvu1ank4, and kernel 3.10.0-2796035, [email protected] #1. I haven't flashed a rom since my note 2 so my memory is a bit fuzzy on the process. Do I have to update all of this before I can go ahead and flash a custom lollipop rom? if so could anyone be kind enough to walk me through the process? I am also running At&t off the tmobile phone. (would this explain why when I click software update, nothing happens? The phone doesn't even go to a page to try to check.) Thank you to any one that can provide assistance.
Follow the guide here to update to Lollipop before flashing a Lollipop ROM. In this thread you'll find all the files you need to update, root, and get a custom recovery so you can begin flashing ROMs. Most ROMs will have installation instructions in the first post of the thread.

thanks for the response. i have root already but im still on 4.4.4. im looking to flash lollipop roms. Do i need to update anything or can i just flash a 5.0 rom right over my 4.4.4 stock rooted rom? i reread your comment which files do i need to flash in that guide? the two cod6 lollipop files? maybe im not seeing it but in the guide i dont see how to uppdate to lollipop....
You have to Odin flash the COD6 lollipop firmware. Just flash the entire 1gb file. Then follow the steps in that thread to root and get custom recovery back

so if i odin flash the cod6 file that is 1.8 gb that will replace my kernel or do i need to flash that as well? and this will make me lose root. and will have to re root the phone... sorry for the question i feel like a newbie again to all of this....
Yes it will replace everything. Kernel,bootloader, recovery, modem, everything. And you will lose root. But you can just follow the steps in the linked thread to get root and recovery back. And no problem! We were all noobs once lol
I want to erase the phone and start over.
What is the quickest way to do so?
I would like to keep root but dont want to really use odin to flash kitkat first. Is there any other easy way?
Thanks

Just flash this OC1 Stock Rooted Very Easy Procedure http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59666958&postcount=2 unless you're trying to get back to KitKat. Thanks @Walter.White
I am already on Lollipop. How can I reflash lollipop so I can have a clean phone again with root?
I am assuming I cant go into factory reset because I will lose root and it may even fail.
There is no safestrap for lollipop is there?

Did you do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59666958&postcount=2 to get to lollipop? If yes, then you can access Safestrap. Not sure if you would lose root doing a factory reset or not, so I would just flash the zip file from same post in safestrap.
