you shouldn't have done the update since you can't wait for the root.

Well, not everyone got the update since Samsung suspended the new update due the issue that the update has. So we hope the best to come.
Do you mind if I ask why did you update your phone?
There is some root methods as they have been talked about, although its questionable if they are truly malware or not. But many people on the VZW S4 side have used it including these cleanup tools to remove any traces of the supposedly malware side. So its upto you to decide if you want to use that method or not. That's about all we can say here on this as we cannot link to those methods right now as the moderation team is trying to evaluate if those root methods are malware or not.

Cause I'm the type of guy who wants stability... And if there's an update that will provide such stability, then I'm all for it. And aslo, despite all the post going around about it being almost impossible to root after taking the update, I just didn't believe it to be so. Oh, and also because I'm a bit of a risk - taker as well! ?

I also can confirm this. Worked fine for me too.
Just a side note, I have heard good luck from using SuperUser OTA Survival mode in MF3 then upgrading to MJ9.

Call AT&T (or visit their service center) and get your phone replaced (if under warranty). I told them what happened, and they switched mine without a problem. They said a lot of people have been switching their phones for the same reason.

Nice. Did they replace it with a new s4, or a refurbished one?

They gave me a refurb, unfortunately. And with MF3.
Still better than MJ9, though.

So once we obtain root using the "questionable" root method, How do we obtain a custom recovery?
So I was on 4.4 rooted and went back to an unrooted state. I then sideloaded 4.4.1 and then 4.4.2 when it was released. My question is, can 4.4.2 be rooted the same way 4.4 was?
Thanks in advance.
Yes

It will be rooted the same way like 4.4, and you will can upgrade the same way like you did with 4.4.1, 4.4.2, 4.4.3 and 4.4.4. Is it magic or something?
Developer preview available later today...

Good afternoon, I was wondering if there is a way to root the sprint note 7 already? I am new to rooting and I really just want to use the app wifi tether router. I've looked into youtube but I haven't seen any videos of rooting the note 7 I can trust. Any help will be appreciated thank you!
There is no method to root yet. I would give it a few months till they find a reliable method to root and unroot.
