Is there root for AT&T 4.4?
No there is not but in the at&t thread there is already a way so you can be rooted and have custom recovery

There is no way to root kitkat on any device without either unlocking the bootloader or reverting to a root able build of Android first.
Flashback
I've been looking into rooting the D80020 and I think you have to flash back to D80010 (for ATT) then you can root and (possibly) update to Kit Kat. I haven't done it yet but planning on it soon.
I just did that 2 days ago. Flashed back to 10d, rooted, flashed twrp with freegee and then flashed stock kk. All told, took me about half an hour. Now I'm rocking rooted kk, couldn't be happier with the phone.

I used the same thing for root. Cant use a custom recovery though, but since I just got the phone yesterday I'm cool with using stock for now.

use ioroot25 to root.
Then install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee_free and install TWRP.
reboot into recovery and install the rom.
Before doing anything download the rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672931 and copy it to your phone.
Hi everyone,
If I root using Chainfires method and all I do is install Xposed Framework can I still receive Sprint updates by just removing Xposed? I am not going to install Roms as Xposed has everything I need. Thanks in advance.
If you're not running the stock recovery it won't let you take any updates. Which is a good thing because taking an ota with a custom recovery can potentially brick your phone.

Can someone point me to the thread where you can root while on 6.0.1? I've found a few where all you have to do is flash the twrp in Odin but when i do so my phone freezes at the boot screen. Why help or ideas? Thanks
Make sure ur flashing the correct version of twrp for the 6.0 firmware; check out the deodexed ROM thread install instructions in Dev section it explains how to get root on stock.

do you have the link?
So im confused. Do i need a custom kernel to root, or can i just do cf auto root and be fine?

All u need is twrp installed and working, from there when your in recover you can flash root. I'm on deoxide mm and it didn't have root on it. Just Google chainfire super su for note 5 sprint and I think the latest is like 2.73 super su
I'm currently on stock, rooted 6.0 32.1.A.1.185 and received an update on my phone yesterday to update to 6.0.1.
I assume if I proceed with the update I will lose my root, is this true? I froze the Updater so I could get the notification to go away. What's the most straight forward way to keep root and get the update. I haven't seen anyone post a stock rooted rom with the update to flash over what I currently have.
Thanks
Yes, this won't work.
Use a rooted tft or custom Rom.
Xpower v3.0 is great.

Cool, thanks. Anyone knows if the installer wipes data? I will probably just do a fresh install but I might not if I don't have to.
Yes, backup to SD card
Do a factory reset and fresh install.

I'm running rooted LP stock with TWRP recovery. My phone downloaded the MM system update. Is it safe to use the automated MM install? I'm not worried about retaining root or custom recovery capabilities.
Thanks
It won't install with the custom recovery. You may as well just install the very latest ROM KDZ with LG UP, and then you'll be all up to date. I believe it's posted in one of the update threads
Sent from my LG-H901 using XDA-Developers mobile app
You will lose root if you use the latest kdz right?
Sent from my LG-H901 using XDA-Developers mobile app
You do lose root and will be completely stock. I haven't read enough of the other threads to know if the latest is actually rootable yet or not.... I've seen conflicting reports. It does appear that you will. hard brick if you try to roll back tho! It's a one way road
