I think they can tweak the Root method for the international Note once they get a system dump from an ATT Note. I don't think it's a big stretch.

I have the international version, rom LA4. I screwed up and updated with KIES from the previous rom to LA4 and lost root. To get it back, I'd have to downgrade (wipe), root, then update OTA to get it back. The exploit used for the older rom won't work on the newer. Not sure if they will figure it out, I think they would rather spend their time tinkering with ICS (can't blame em). Make sure one the at&t version can be hacked, that you watch how you update it. First time I've had a non rooted phone for 9 months, the ads are about to drive me nuts
I'm sure when ICS hits, it will be full of exploits to root it until Sammy figures out where the holes are located and plugs them up.
More then likely we can root with Skyrocket's version.

How do you keep your root when an ota update is pushed to the lte? Whats everyone's opinion on an app in the play store called ota root keeper?
Works for my kindle fire and it worked on my transformer prime. Just have to make sure to actually click protect root in the app once you install it.
Don't take otas simple as that. Devs will examine them and update their roms, usually really quick about doing the update

Yup one of the first rules of rooting is to not take a update through OTA. Usually doesnt take long for the devs to pull then apart and post rooted versions..

I was informed today that Verizon is pushing out the new Ota already. If you haven't gotten it you will soon. 2 questions....
1. Do we have to Odin back to stock to receive the update?
2. Will there have to be a new process to root after we accept the ota?
Should this have gone under the Q and A?

I think this has already been discussed. The nee ota is nothing more than the search feature dumbing down and a new baseband+kernel. I believe you can root this with the current method. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Why mess up your root? Just give it some time and the devs will probably have the update rooted and ready to flash with Odin !
Can anybody confirm that these will not auto-install?
On my HTC Incredible, I would just hit install later, but the popup would come back every 15 minutes.. very annoying!
Soon as the update comes out I will have a fully deodexed rooted zipaligned version available.
If I can figuire it out, I will also make an Odin image out of it.

No one does. But literally its as simple as putting the old search apk back into the new rom or ota. Nothing to be worried about

I love how Samsung and Verizon take so long to release updates - except when it's to take away the features on your phone. They get those out pretty quickly.
Does this OTA have any benefit??
Any way to block this ota? I have root access

I don't remember where I read this but you have to freeze FWUpdate.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
It's been pretty well established how to restore proper search functionality. The real question should be what do the kernel and radios do? Any improvements in reception or battery life? Any improvements in device performance? And most importantly, does this change anything regarding bootloader unlocking research and work-arounds?

Thanks, didn't even think to do that for some reason. I just froze FWUpgrade, SDM & VZWUpdate in Titanium Backup.. can anyone confirm if there's anything more that needs to be frozen?
Here 1. Don't accept it. 2. We can pull radio and kernel and install those.

Update should fail anyway if you don't have a stock recovery. They generally require a stock recovery to update the phone.

I consistently get -75 to -85 dbm so I really don't think there is a reception issue with the 4G radio for me. Now the WiFi is awful for me. That could be improved. GPS is sick.... I lock on in about half a second

FYI guys, we can still root using the same method after the OTA (VRALG1)
Anybody here feel confused with some of the users that are updating to the latest locked down firmware, I just find it weird that people are knowingly locking down their phones, the main reason people come here is to do the opposite. I've read people apply the update and they still ask for some sort of support from community members. I just dont get it.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
I read some saying they didn't care and after some did the update they said the phone was faster and worth losing root. Others just want root and were able to update using voodoo ota rootkeeper. To keep root and update.

They kept root in a sense. Yes, they can still run some apps that require root, but they cannot flash a custom kernel or recovery.

I traded my note 2 and got this. Met the guy at Verizon. Got the prompt for the OTA and took it before I knew what was good for me. Although I would have preferred not to, I am very impressed with the stock firmware.
Only disappointment which would make me want to root is WiFi tethering doesn't work in Pdanet, and of course the annoying WiFi toggle - both things I'm content dealing with without pulling hair out while I wait for the new exploit.

I've noticed a few of the update fans haven't posted in here for awhile. Possible a good thing for the community.

I'm really hoping there's more info soon, I got mine for free too. The weird thing is that even the people at Verizon didn't have a lot of info on their own device. Anyone know if it has NFC? There are many sources both ways.
Got mine for free as well, but seems very slow.. I know it only has 1gb Ram but I figured with a quad core it could at least run streampix and Netflix without constant stuttering.. Hoping for some root methods and custom rooms to get some better performance out of it soon! Please and thank you!

So does SRS Root.exe using smartroot option....
I used framaroot and installed SuperSU and Boromir exploit to gain root access to my ellipsis.
Kingo worked well to root, and get SuperSU(Thanks to chainfire for this amazing free piece of software we all take for granted!) Can we get any developers interested in getting us recovery? Maybe get an official thread for this device? Here is all the information on the device http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=5276&c=verizon_ellipsis_7_quanta_qmv7a
Hopefully we will be installing custom roms and kernels soon. Build prop tweaks would be amazing for this device, plus a real kernel!

I don't suppose using Recovery Tools from the Play Store would let you install a custom recovery would it? I'm doubtful since the E7 doesn't have a native recovery mode to begin with...

Not another "when will we get root" thread........
You will get it, when you get it.
But then, you may never get it.........
Why do people take the OTA then wonder about root.
If it's that important, be patient.......
I agree. What's the rush to update only to be stuck? We live in an instant gratification society anymore. Wait to update. There is nothing of significance in the update that you need it right away.
Verizon is really trying to clamp down on tethering. Foxfire is broke in the update... The most Verizon app requests root privileges to track tethering on unlimited plans. Stay away from updates until those in the know give you the go ahead.

right so why wait? Why not Downgrade to MK2 then flash any system img capable of MK2 install safestrap then re-upgrade the right way? Look under the development section we have a 20+ page spread on how to do it properly. This will give you root and access to a butt load of new 4.4.2 ROMs. It will also give you root you'll just have to deal with this method for time being i doubt it will change anytime soon. It works fine if you havent upgraded yet put on the breaks and do not upgrade your bootloaders. All you really need to upgrade is your AP and CP with hlos. Then switching between 4.4 and 4.3 is cake. Right now I've got 4.4.2 Custom ROM on my stock slot and a 4.3 gDux 1.1 on 1st slot and an AOSP ROM on my 2nd slot. Ive got a variety literally goes 4.4.2 to 4.3 to 4.2.2 AOSP and I couldnt be happier in terms of what I can throw on an use with my phone.
Actually Firefox just updated and now works on 4.4.2
