Impossible to say, we don't have 4.4.2. There's already a few threads discussing keeping root on the small update though.
i have a droid maxx what do you have ? Also can you direct me towards those posts ?
I did the update its still on 4.4 though so it doesn't loose root.

Take it for what its worth but I updated my wife's RAZR m with 4.4.2 and couldn't keep root. I tried to hide root update failed tried root survival using supersu update failed. Both times it failed due to root being detected. Will it be the same for the maxx I don't know but it ain't looking good.

Hey guys. So i have updated my 915G, to the latest firmware, can i still root it?
Or do i have to downgrade? My version shows NK4.
Should i still root or will i get stuck trying to root?
Any best ways to root the 915G.
Help is appreciated. Thank you
Can you check language settings for this model, is there Turkish language. If yes can you take and share screen shot.
Nope not showing turkish.. maybe u can download it?
Still waiting for mine to arrive but couldn't you install new recovery and flash latest super su to get root?
I have the N915G and this method worked fine for me

when the device is rooted do I still get the over the air updates ?
mine isn't rooted yet because I usually wait a couple of weeks to see if there is no hardware problem (warranty)
and i wait for the Lollipop update, which should arrive in February, I hope...

Hi guys,
I hope somebody can help me out. I have a G2 on stock 4.4.3 kitkat D80020y. I was rooted with stumproot but still on stock recovery. Then I heard the lollipop OTA coming out and in trying to prepare for it I "unrooted" the phone by choosing permanent unroot in Supersu app. Following that when I checked for OTA and it wasn't showing up, I realised it won't show up as I was on T mobile.
So, I thought that's easy, let me just root again with stump root and manually install it. But the problem is Stumproot is now unable to root my phone!
What's the easiest thing to do from here? Should I just borrow an AT&T Sim from a friend and try updating it that way? Will that cause any problems? Or should I try rooting my phone by another method and do the manual method then?
Sorry for the long post

Thanks for your reply. I did see that thread but the point is how do I root D80020y kitkat if stumproot is not working?

Yup tried that too. Not working. Guess will borrow ATT Sim from a friend and try upgrading that way. Hope that doesn't cause any issues.
as the title says i recently updated to 5.1.1 and cant reroot, ive tried getting super su beta etc one click roots etc towel root and stump root and nothing seems to want to root it meaning im stuck rootless, anyone in the same boat ?
Yep Same for me...
hopefully someone finds another hole soon
Try to Downgrade to 5.0.1 then root it
. . . really... its the gflex 2 why would you want to stay on 5.0.1 im not going to downgrade to an inferior version to root it theres no way to keep the root and upgrade cause vodafone patched the hole, im hoping someone can find another exploit

I had a LG G3 but it broke down. I got a Droid Ultra from a friend and i got surprised! First time I have a Motorola phone. I thought I was getting a crappy phone but It runs perfectly fine.
I want to root and install a custom recovery so that i could flash a Lollipop ROM. I've been reading some threads but I'm quite confused about what I should do first. I want to be able to run a Rooted Lollipop ROM on it. I've read some threads about rooting for the build SU6-7 but mine has SU6-7.2.
If any of you could please tell me what I should do first, I'd be more than grateful.
The phone is unrooted (checked with Root Checker).
Android version: 4.4.4 build SU6-7.2
System version 24.13.2.obake_verizon.Verizon.en.US

Okay, so here's the deal:
You can root (to some degree) using CrashXXL's method found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-ultra/general/droid-mini-maxx-ultra-root-pogress-100-t3071609
or his other method found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-ultra/general/crashx-t3220408
Keep in mind though that neither of these root methods disables write protection so you will not be able to flash a custom recovery or install a custom rom.
At the moment there is no full true root/bootloader unlock for the Droid Maxx/Ultra/Mini on 4.4.4 su6/su6-7.2

Your welcome. And sad to say but there is no way to get Lollipop on your phone with a locked bootloader.
So basically I never wanted to update my phone but I accidentally pressed Install Now when I was trying to open the messaging app. Now I can't root it anymore or downgrade it. Worst mistake ever for my phone :crying:
So my phone found a new update, but I don't want to update it because I want to look for a updated ROOTED rom that is later than OG7. If anyone has a odin flashable / zip flashable, PLEASE message me. I have a friend that works with android roms, he said that its something to do with the bootloader and it has to be rewritten by hand to make it rootable because of verizons bootloader, and to unlock the bootloader. PingPongRoot doesn't work anymore after the 5.1.1 update. I really hate this update. it slowed my phone down a lot. **** you verizon :crying::crying::crying:
Anyways I need a rooted rom to flash on my phone to make my phone think its signed by Samsung or Verizon and it's a new update. Please help me root my phone. I really got nothing to root it now ;-;

Have you tried updating to Marshmallow? I'm on CleanROM 1.5 android 5.0.2 OE2, and have been curious of the new android version, but at the same time do not want to lose root. Let me know if Marshmallow is worth losing root. Only advantage I see to root at this point is not having all that damn bloatware I really hate and cannot remove without root. Thanks.

I rather not update it unless
1: A root method is available
2: A rooted rom for Marshmallow is available
Just saying. upgrading to 5.1.1 unintentially (mainly because i was directly going to the messaging app but accidentally pressed install now) made me loose my root access. That's why I'm seeing if there is a rooted rom for that rom or a root method for that room.

From what I understand, it seems verizon is never going to allow it. Just look at Note 4 from verizon, it came out in 2014 and still no sign there will ever be root available for that one either. I'm even considering moving to tmo since there is root on their devices. Good luck.

Thanks for the info :victory:
