From what I understand, KitKat cannot be rooted this way yet. There are ways of preserving your root before the update, check the lgg2 at&t development threads. Or just stick with custom Roms based on 4.4.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. If you're trying to update to a newer version of CM you probably have to update your bootloader. You can ask your question here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-x2/help where the experts on your device reside. Also see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-x2

Hi all... i have a problem with my Galaxy A3 (SM-A300FU) Let me explane and i hope you can help me:
Few months ago i decided to root my SM-A300FU running android 4.4.4 and all worked so i enjoyed my rooted device with no problems...
Then i decided to update my phone to lollipop just to see how it works but when i tried to root lollipop (using cf auto root for a300fu but for 4.4.4 bec for 5.0.2 it doesn't exist) it started the first time but when i rebooted my phone it stopped working, i mean it's stuck on samsung screen, or worst stuck on a strange yellow "sand screen"... so i reinstalled lollipop normally and started to use it without root waiting for a cf auto root for 5.0.2... some days ago i thought that i could downgrade to 4.4.4 and be able to re root my device so i downloaded stock firmware for my a3 from sammobile.com
but when i tried to flash it (always with odin running administrator) it just stuck at samsung loading screen
I can reflash lollipop and all restart working but i can't root 5.0.2 so i want to downgrade to stock 4.4.4 and i can't!
I'm getting crazy on it trying to flash it tons of times but it don't wanna work... I hope you can help me downgrading this phone!
PS: model code: SM-A300FU build version: LRX22G.A300FUXXU1BOEC

well is there a reason to downgrade to 4.4.4 now that you can get root on 5.0.2?
Anyway if you still want to downgrade, head over to Android's Q&A Section since there's no dedicated forum for your device, and ask your question there
I hooe I have helped you!

I live here on Dubai. I bought my Tab named "Q-wave781M"(Which is not known) with 4.2.2 firmware cost 600+ AED. I want to update it atleast 4.3 or 4.4. Checked the About Tablet then update but nothing pop out. I dl'ed an app that check what firmware i can upgrade to and it possible for 4.4. 2 weeks ago i learned about custom roms. But there is a possibility to brick if it's not properly installed. I dl'ed Rom Manager but cwm/twrp doesn't support the device(Can't install/flash). A msg said it's installed but after booting to recovery still the stock recovery. I'm newbie here and modding android. Please help. Ty

I am trying to figure this out too pls
Although I couldn't find any root methods for my galaxy S5 active I seen something about downgrading it to 4.4.2 to use towelroot. I ran into an internet problem trying to download the firmware, fixed that. Then Odin started having problems before it started downgrading. Is it possible to downgrade? Its running the OF3 bootloader and after doing some research I found some people saying it's locked and impossible to downgrade. So is it possible To downgrade a SM-G870A running the 5.0 lollipop update with the OF3 bootloader? Or is there some kind of root available for it? Or even someway to unlock the bootloader without losing all my data? I've been trying to figure something out for 3 days straight now.
Thanks.
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
After reading this thread, it seems that you can't downgrade to Kitkat.
Please feel free to open a new thread in your dedicated Q&A forum. New solutions may have been found...
Good luck!
I have rooted mine and put a custom rom with 4.4.2, but i'm getting notified that there is an update by LG. Does anyone know what version this update is for, as I can't find any info on it anywhere, and if it's just going to put me back on stock 4.4.2 there's no point me doing it.
Thanks

It looks like there is no dedicated forum for your device, however
There is a general forum for android here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help where you can try to ask to get expert's help.
