I was stupid and took the OTA... What are my options? Could I somehow downgrade? How would I do such a thing? How do I go about backing up just in case I derp it up?
There are many threads about this already. Answer is no. Not yet.

Dont mean to be an ahole, but please do a search before you create a new thread that has already been created to address Rooting before and after the OTA. (remember, the #1 rule here is to search first then post a question...otherwise they incur infractions...trust me they do give them out..)
****Dev, Please remove this thread as this is already answered in another thread.
I'm seeing all these threads with dumps from a Gamestop device. Instead of simply pushing the question away, maybe we should try posting solutions. I've also seen some dumps on this server: httpColon//nobcat.com/
that say they're for the Prime. I did a search and it was all ended in irrelevant information, hence is why I posted.
Yeah, but there is at least 4 threads about the rooting and issues of the OTA. If you have any new idea's or thoughts, it would be beneficial for them to be put in one of those threads so we don't have to bounce around to many threads to find an answer.

while i agree in concept about finding a way to get root back..so far the only root process available even before the OTA was by Razorclaw. Clockwork, spacemouse and others I know will / are working hard to figure something out along with Razorclaw (my speculation as i don't have any affiliation with anyone who does ROMs..i'm just a fledgling app programmer).

Does anyone know how to unroot and put the phone back to stock??? My girl is gonna sell her phone... Has the verizon OTA update came out to the phones yet?? Can i just let it update??
maybe you should, read the forums.....
I would give you a link to the post on page 2 of this forum but those abilities are blocked for me right now.
Pretty funny how a 14 and 5 poster is making fun of a 96 poster. It is a shame we can't restrict the internet from some people.
So in short. Answer is yes, you can de-root (assuming that is a word) the phone back to stock there is a thread that has a guide for you to do so. Also you should be able to find it yourself. Make it a learning experience.

Agree with you, still think your comment shouldnt of been said, or been said in PM.
Thank you for the link.. As for the ppl who had something smart to say you could have just answered the question with out being an smart ass!! What did making your dumb comment accomplish??? Nothing!! So next time if you cant help me then just shut up!! Nobody wants to here you *****!! I dont have this phone I was asking a question for a friend!! Im not familiar with this thread so thats y i just asked a question so that the decent ppl that are here to help and not ***** could help me out!!
..what exactly do I have to do? I don't care about the other Google apps. All I want is the play store. Do I need Safestrap for this? If not, where can I find instructions on how to root?
There are about 3 threads in this section of the forum that have step by step instructions on how to achieve this. It's even in the title!

Excuse me, but the specific question I asked isn't answered, or I'm having trouble finding it.
I'm not interested in flashing anything if I can avoid it (i.e. Safestrap).
If I can, I just want to root and get Google Play Store working on my HDX 7". Can you direct me to something that tells me how to do just those two things?

If you don't have the time to look in thread titles to find what you're looking for, no one is going to take the time to help you.

I'm curious, sunshine, do you always have a need to demand things without doing the proper research? Do you literally go through life arguing with people who give you an exact answer telling you where to go and what to do to get what you want?
Let's recap what I told you:
"There are 3 threads about this on the front page"
1) there are three methods depending on your device.
2) they're on the front page.
How is that not giving you want, princess? I'm sure if you would lift the satin flaps from over your eyes you'd see that indeed, I gave you the answer that you needed. Now, kindly, go brick your device so we don't have to listen to your demands again.
Forgive that idiot for not knowing what he (or she) did.
Im confuse. I know you cant root a sch-i605 that has an 4.3 OTA vruand3 but is there anyway I can unlock the bootloader ? The reason im doing this is because Im using a tmobile prepaid sim card and it works ( phone, text) except that the data Im getting is stuck on EDGE . And maybe the reason is because the bootloader is lock. Can someone point me in the right direction? I have read the forums and I just want to start a new thread that will clarify my question. Thanks.
Please do a little bit more homework.

To answer your question: Safestrap. At this moment this is the only alternative; and even then its not a robust solution.
But Amador please do a little bit more searching in the forums (or at least google) because your question has been a hot topic amongst the SCH-i605 community since the OTA 4.3 update and your answer could have been easily found. I am not going to give you a link to the Safestrap post because I want you to take initiative and I want to prevent you from being lazy like the hundreds of other people who have done exactly what you did, because instead of looking for an answer, "your kind" come here off of a google search and just keep on asking the same question over and over, pile up the forums with garbage posts, and its time consuming for anyone on the forums to answer "your kind".
A lesson to everyone else:
We welcome new talent and bright minds to contribute to the forums, and if you sincerely need help after you have dedicated hours of QUALITY research, please ask. But don't expect to be spoon fed here. If you're asking easy questions that have an existing answer in a plethora of locations out there in the big world of the internet, you will be reminded of the culture in XDA. If you ever wonder why big companies outsource telephone operators in India, this is why. To talk to ignorant people, who all require the same answer.

Yes to bootstrap I tried several times to flash bootloader tried bootstrap and all done jeti x20 rom running I like the option to be able to chose the system to why flash anyother way this is simple ans safe.
Has anyone come up with any possible rooting methods?
No, there is a search function for a reason. Also, CAN PEOPLE STOP TITLING THEIR THREADS WITH TITLES LIKE THIS. FOR GODS SAKE MAN AT LEAS PUT A QUESTION MARK T_T.
There is no root for USA Based phones. You will never see any viable root. Enjoy your phone as is, it's amazing!

Searching for the word "root" (without quotes) in this topic yields all threads with the word root in them. Despite that if you glance at the titles you will find on page 1 a thread that asks the question (and has an answer). Page 2 shows 3 results.. Pages beyond 3 show other results.
So the search works but only as far as when people actually look (and take the time to read) for answers. Search results are also more effective when people use proper thread titles. I will admit the latter makes searches a lil more cumbersome because some people need to learn how (or have simply failed) to properly name the threads they make.

Wow, so nice to see no one gets satire that they go out of their way to prove themselves.
Look, I know there isn't root, I was just pointing out that threads like these are a dime a dozen. Facepalm
I'm just saying that on top of a search function there are about 10 threads about root for our phones; not being able to, question of whether or not it's possible, and a kind of waiting/official thread about root for our phones. It's not satire I was just telling him to read through the forum to search for the answer to his question instead of making yet another "is there root" thread. People just want a quick answer instead of reading. I don't see what him posting proof has to do with it, just seems like an extension of the banter. I'm not dogging on him or you, so don't take it to heart.
Also you can search by thread title if you select advanced under search options.

I was going to say the same thing. I have seeing these and finding out it is a question
This is the exact reason I didn't want to purchase this device. All I want is V4A.
Oh well, this device is amazing!
Well as of right this second there is not.. but to all who say there will never be for the U.S. model, i emphatically direct you to the Galaxy Note 9 threads where there is a serious developer Elliwigy has successfully rooted the U.S Note 9 using the exact same qualcomm chipset. And he states that his method has been tested by several developers on other samsung devices ... so to answer your question Yes root is possible.. but currently not stable nor is there a fool proof path to success. But Elliwigy has broken the ground necessary for a possible future root.
Link to an article on this:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-note-9-proof-of-concept-root/amp/
Link to thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...s-recoveries--other-development/root-t3927413
Interesting to see a method to install root was found with the factory binary (not the same as what we are using right now). It may lead into a root method if someone can find a way to make the proof of concept possible on the binaries we are normally using..
Worth keeping tabs on, I got the link bookmarked to keep watch on it. Who knows someone might find a way to crack this golden egg

Sure, I could have put "Is there a ..." in the title. I just figured a logical person would notice the obvious nature of the question mark and realize that this post wasn't our coveted solution. If you actually read my question, you can see that I know very well where the search bar is, and that it was utilized. It's unfortunate that you see helping someone as a waste of your time. If you don't want to help, then don't waste the OP's time with your complaining.
So when new models come out, the best thing is to wait till we find out which can be rooted. Makes sense... I jumped on Galaxy 9S+ when it first cam out and have the un-rootable one... should have waited...
