As the title says I have the SM-N900V and it is on 4.4.2 and it has been done with towelroot and I am curious if there is any way to upgrade to a standard copy of Lollipop and still be able to keep my root. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. It looks like there is not a root method for lollipop nor a keep root method. Looking at your posts it looks like you know where your device specific forum is. That's the best place to ask for help. Just in case see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3/help

I have a straight talk galaxy s3 (sch-s968c) and have no plans to upgrade it. i really like this phone. i got a samsung gear live as a gift and like it as well. after wading through forums for the last two weeks, i have managed to root my phone. now i just need simple directions on how to get the android updated to 4.3 or 4.4. either one is fine for my needs. i tried to follow some forum threads on how to do this, but they are usually too vague for me to accomplish it. help. please.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The best place to get help is the device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att. They are the experts on your device. Your device is a variant of the S3 so you may have to work a little to find the answers you're looking for. But here are some tips:
You can usually find stock firmware for Samsung devices at Samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com. They are flashable in Odin. Always backup first, off your device, before using Odin
There may or may not be a root method for 4.3 or 4.4. Root exploits are generally patched with each new android version. Check in the forum I linked you to.
Don't be afraid to ask questions in the threads you've found. They are the experts. At XDA Assist we have good overall general knowledge but may not have knowledge specific to your device.
Good luck!

Dear All,
Hoping someone can help.
i wanted to post the the Auto Root Thread here, but unfortunately my login permits me from doing that.
will the CF Auto Root (link) which is based on Android 5.0 will work on an Android 4.4?
If not, where can i get the auto root for 4.4?
The reason why i need to stay in 4.4 is the below.
i am using a note 3, right now running on lollipop. But because of some incompatibility issue with the MiBand (both sides XiaoMi and Samsung is blaming eachother and will not be posting a patch) with the Samsung Lollipop specifically for the Note 3, i will need to flashback the Note 3 to KitKat.
Thanks.
Ben
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I would use CF-Auto Root from here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466423 This is from your device's specific forum Development section. If you read through it it only works on 4.4 so you should be good to go. Also see this for further information on your device, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3

Thanks, it worked.
I have been looking for a way to root my phone without a computer. I have noticed TWL root ( I think that's what it's called) then King root and there's one other I don't remember the name. I am running a note 3 n900P and I have 5.0. My service is through sprint. Is King root safe for me to run? I'm afraid I will brick my phone Thank you in advance for your help.
Thank you for using XDA Assist.
You should find your answers in regards to rooting your Sprint Note 3 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46265919
Also you can use the Q&A section in that Forum for future questions.
That is the forum where you will find your device experts.
Happy Rooting

I just got this phone in the mail today. Before I got it I looked at all of the root methods and I thought this was a good phone. I don't know how to root the phone and the only method that I know of is by geohot, but it doesn't see my phone as an s4 active. My Android version is 5.0.1 and my build is ucucoc7. Please help me I would like to have root access because I have never had an android phone without root permissions and I want to keep the trend going.

Hi,
Here is a thread from your device section that asks the same question... It should help you,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-active/help/root-s4-active-5-0-1-t3093052
Good luck!
I think the thread that you sent to me was meant for the international variant of the phone. I have the AT&T variant
There is only one section for the active, There's no carrier sub sections. You could ask there if there's a difference though.
Otherwise you could create your own thread in the Q&A section...
