I would like to root my google edition S4 that arrived today. The only root I have found is for 4.3 firmware mine is still running 4.2.2, the bootloader should be unlocked, so what do I need to gain root access? I want to get titanium backup working, thank you!

I too have been trying to root with stock FL26. I did have a rooted phone with FL26 but someone stole it at
the grocery store right out of my cart. Now I have a replacement from insurance that needs tweaking..
The guides I've seen are geared for older updates. not sure why it isn't working on the current.
You should check out life360, man. It's a phone tracker. Anyways. How did you get your phone rooted? I really need mine rooted!!

I had life360 installed, the guy took the phone down the street and pulled the battery first chance he had.
The street it was at when it updated last location was a drug dealer area. Anyway, on that particular phone I used odin in windows, similar method that I used with the original epic. Just trying to get this newest update rooted without bricking, just needed confirmation that the method talked about above would do that.

After going through the unlock process on the Verizon Note 2, would I be able to then use a MetroPCS sim card in it? I went through the entire process in Casual, it said I was unlocked, but when i popped my metro sim, it wouldn't recognize it.
I'm guessing I either messed up somewhere, or it isn't capable of doing it.
Can anyone shed some light?

Does the dump include the modem? We desperately needed the modem to be ported to the international versions (I-9200 and I-9205). HSPA+ signals are very inconsistent and I believe porting the modem from the AT&T version will help us a lot.

You would ideally need a new stock Rom which includes the modem.

No roms will work, if ever, on this device because it has been "protected" by Att from running unsigned boot and recovery images.

It's just a matter of time. The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that of all the millions and millions of android phones that ATT sells......why would they decide to lock this ONE phone? Just not logical....the Intl model can be rooted...I feel strongly this one can also.

Or you could always try out one of the AOSP Kitkat ROMs, available in the original development section. They're pretty darn stable, and can certainly be used as DDs.

If you read this post:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601067, the 4.4.2 leak is for the international S4 ONLY, not any of the North American variants yet.

Sounds quite reasonable.
Following Samsung OTA's for a long time across 3 phones and almost 6 years.. seems they connect some of the major OTAs to release of new product. Since the S5 is getting close could it be tied to that event? Betting Verizon's S5 won't be first on the release list for US carriers either.
OTA of 4.4 for the S4 prior to the S5 release just doesn't sound like a starter. It would be a nice surprise though....

I kinda doubt it since there's no way to unlock the bootloader on 4.3 maybe safestrap will get 4.4.2 support but besides that I highly doubt it.. but any developer out there in the process of unlocking either 4.3 or 4.4.2 correct me if I'm wrong. (Not being disrespectful but I think most of the developers have moved on or are working on roms for the unlocked)
