Towelroot doesn't work anymore as it's been patched... Use CF-Autoroot, but you'll have to use USB method afaik.
one click root was easy
Towelroot is good app to root nexus 5 kitkat but for amdroid L one click aint possible
This is sad...if at all any one click root software appears let me know..thanks
Just learn to do it like everyone else, it's not exactly hard

You have a nexus device. Learn to use fastboot. Just flash twrp in fastboot then flash supersu in twrp

Towelroot on a Nexus device. Some people.. Use it on devices with locked bootloaders and all that crap, not on a Nexus 5.
Towelroot was a kernel exploit. It was patched in AOSP around 6 months ago.

You have the patience of Job. Another person would have rooted his device 2 months ago rather than wait for an update.

Im currently running kitkat 4.4.4. on my ultra. I have searched and searched and can't seem to find a working root for my build on droid ultra. I am aware that there is a app called sunshine that unlocks your bootloader (for 25 bucks) but i have two questions regarding this. 1. when using sunshine does it erase all your data when unlocking the bootloader? 2. After unlocking the bootloader is there anyway i can get root on my phone? And if anyone knows of a way to root the ultra on 4.4.4 please feel free to tell me!
Thanks,

1. Sunshine did not erase data for me.
2. Follow this write up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2645122 and install supersu through TWRP
Ok thanks for your reply. Sorry to bother you with one last question, so just making sure that sunshine won't take my data and it will work without problem on my droid ultra running Kitkat 4.4.4? And also after this I will be able to get root?

Sunshine doesn't work on 4.4.4 unless already rooted. Only 4.4.3 and below.

By all means, let the app check for you, but the failure rate is pretty consistent on 4.4.4.
hello I'm not sure if there's any method it yet but I can't get any response on the Android forums so I've come here since I normally get good responses here. Anyways, I have the Verizon S3 under Verizon prepaid. It came pre-installed with 4.4 and a kernel of July 22, 2014. I had a phone before this one that was the same but it ran 4.3. I used towel root and it worked flawlessly. Now that I had returned the phone and got a new one due to one of my goofs. It came with 4.4 as I mentioned and the newer kernel. I tried towel root and it says it's not supported. I tried messing with the mod strings to no avail. So I have read it's from the newer kernel they put on the S3 that patched up the towel root exploit. So my question is, is there any other way at all that can root my device? It drives me crazy not having root. It's one of my habits in tinkering with things but can't do no tinkering on a non rooted device. So any help is appreciated.

You may be out of luck. You could try kingo root or another one but none of those may work either. VZW has found a way to patch the root exploits

I thought that might be the case. I hope not though. I have tried towel root, kingo root, root master, srs root, framaroot, z4root. Anything with the app of rooting I've used and all failed. Please can someone have any solution? Thanks for the info though

While I agree it takes a lot away from it not many people (devs specifically) are working on this anymore. Actually I don't think anyone really is at this point

I don't know honestly. I know of devs but not for this device. I know one who hard bricked his device with the 4.3 update and moved on completely from this device and onto Nexus devices

Well I didn't see any nexus devices under prepaid and I'd rather not go under contract. Do you think if I got a kernel from someone running 4.4 but it's older then my own, and flashed it via Odin, that it would work? Like remove the patch and be exploitable by towel root again? Or you think it'll just brick?

I know its been awhile since i last posted here but just telling everyone i have found a root method to obtain root on 4.4 with the new kernel dated on or before july 22 2014. I used the kingroot app. Just one click and got root. Not sure if kingroot and kingoroot are the same but i just used the king root to get root. I tried kingoroot and it fails. Any ways best of luck to everyone.
I have experience jailbreaking my iPhones but have very limited experience with android. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If your kernel build date is before June 2014, towelroot.
If it's after that or towelroot says it's not supported, kingroot(not to be confused with kingoroot). You can use http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/supersu-please-t3110954 after rooting with kingroot to replace the kingroot manager with supersu

No. Use towelroot
I come here everyday hoping to one day see a root thread... Do you ever think we will get one?..
I do too but I don't think we will have root. I've already been starting to look for a replacement but haven't found anything out there that's any better and has root. I'll just stick with root on 5.0.2 for now.
I gave up on this already lol. Luckily for me all I needed root for was mobile hotspot. FoxFi took care of that :good:
I gave up root a while back for marshmallow it's pointless on this phone no xposed no TWRP the 6.0 keyboard is worth it alone
The only chance is if an unencrypted bootloader is leaked like with the s3

Hopefully we won't be left out in the cold with the Verizon S6..... Waiting patiently
I was about to give up on a possible root for Marshmellow and update to the latest OTA until I read about the S7 root. Eagerly waiting for good news for the S6.
how the heck has the s7 been rooted, but the s6 is still in the dark... This is my first smart phone without root / custom ROMs in almost 10 years and I HATE IT !
They have a rooted boot image those bastards lol
I hate Verizon. If it wasn't for their impeccable service in my area of NY, I would leave. I hate not having root and having all this junk on my phone.
The s7 is Qualcomm. Our s6 is a Samsung made SOC. Their method will not work for us anyway. Plus, it is not even a method, it is a leaked, rooted image.
Those on Verizon S6 will not see root for possibly ever seeming no devs care for this phone anymore. Really, no devs did when it did have root lol
A root would be really nice for 6.0.1. Certainly waiting but not optimistic.
Definitely no way back after updating right?
after getting Samsung pay to work. I can live without root.

Technically I think root could be possible with the dirty cow method. But would take developers like jcase or beansup to provide a safe method of doing so, due to the exploit being how it is.

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone ever used kingroot to root honor 8?
I really don't want to unlock my bootloader and flash a zip. Also does king root install trash? Can I remove it?
King root is kind of sketchy. 1 click roots are pretty much a thing of the past Too(since like KitKat) with all the added security in newer versions of Android. I don't have the device, but I'm guessing you're going to have to root with SUPERSU or whatever method everyone's using for your device.
