Just took OTA update on 5.0.1 and lost root. Galaxy s4 M919V on Wind. Can anybody direct me to a thread to either downgrade or reroot? They reinstalled all that I removed. Cant even access TB.
Thanks in advance
Hi!
I can't find a specific thread on rooting your model, but I found this dedicated thread about your exact device...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2303384
I suggest reading the last several pages of the thread and seeing what people are saying about rooting. If you still need help, you can ask in that thread too!
Good luck!

I've been trying all day to root my Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-S968C. It's come to my attention since My baseband is H2 I have to downgrade it to H1. I'm having trouble finding a firmware file that will work. I came across one on samMobile.com and the file wont extract. Please, any help would greatly be appreciated.

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!

So this device is now running android 5.0 here is the system stats.
I updated the google drivers following this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57100493&postcount=11
Using kingo root there is no success. So was wondering if there was any other possible ways. Such as flashing it somehow to a lower android version? If anyone has any answers it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! I posted this on my device-specific forum earlier but got un-helped and so here goes attempt number 2.
I have a Note 3 SM-N900W8 from carrier CLARO PR and it is 5.0/lollipop.
I recently tried rooting it.. and did. However, I guess the file was meant for 4.4 cuz it messed up my phone and i had to do a bunch of random things to bring it back to life.
So my question is, can lollipop for Note 3 be rooted? If so, would you guys mind directing me to a tutorial?
I didn't provide all my device's information because I think the question is pretty straight-forward, but if necessary, I can provide it.
