I'm on i545 (verizon) and 4.3 and curious if there is a way to root this. I'd like to put the Google Play Edition on here.

Got a link?

If your on 4.3 there are no custom recoveries for it yet. Also the only way you can root it is with vroot which is sketchy at best. Not trustworthy. I would just wait until a safe root is made available.

Here is the link sorry forgot to put it in original post.

doesn't look like this will work for 4.3 nothing stating that it does but if it did i honestly think qbking would have mentioned that

If u watch closely he is rooting 4.2.2 which we already have. No sure and safe way to root 4.3 yet that I have found. Just my observation. Looks like sprint model 720

does this work on 4.3? I just got a note 3 and it has 4.3 already. They must have patched up the wifi hotspot toggle because it doesnt work for me.
If root works..Ill just add the toggle in my settings storage using sqlite
That depends in wha t" it means"

Anyone running the REVOLT ROM?

Just wondering if anyone knew that there was even a Revolt ROM for the VZW S4?
Been running Eclipse as my daily driver since I got my S4 back in July, but I just discovered the Revolt ROM and may have a new DD. TONS of customizations, pie controls, halo, 4.3, the works! I couldn't find a thread for is in the development section so I thought I'd see if anyone here knew it was even available for the VZW S4, because it in fact, is.
Here's the video review from The Droid Effect that made me look into Revolt:
http://thedroideffect.com/revolt-rom-review-the-new-4-3-aio-rom-king/
Here's the thread for the 4.2.2 version for the other S4's so you can kind of see the full specs (Don't download from there!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2300817
Here's the DOWNLOAD page for the VZW S4:
http://revolt.iminisoft.org/app/verizon-samsung-galaxy-s4/
The only one I can seem to get working is the 4.3 based ROM under Stable Builds > Alpha.

Just a nice work around for us unfortunate ME7 people that allows us to run custom Roms as there is no bootloader bypass for the ME7 kernel.

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 only I could get beyond this locked bootloader...

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.
Your S4 is probably soft-bricked right now, which is nobody's fault but your own.

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....

You could always run an INT 4.4 ROM that has the boot loader removed and Loki-Doki the thing. I am running 4.4.2 A TW ROM on my S4

What he said.
If you do, you won't likely keep root across the OTA, and won't be rootable afterwards.
Any chance of a bootloader breach is also lower once you update. Just say no,
Android 4.4 + TW = lipstick on a pig
Can't wait for this update, I'm taking it in a heartbeat. A shame there's no word on it for Verizon.

I no longer see a need to root. So much function is freely given now. The only reason I would root again would be for ad block. That said, break me off a piece of that Kit Kat!

What aspect of it are you looking forward to the most?
NFL Mobile. That right there is one HUGE reason to root. Get that crap off your phone, unless you a willing lemming drone to the NSA and you have "nothing to hide"...
Seriously... I don't get it. Those of you that are on SafeStrap mk2 or mj7 are better off staying where you are. You're not missing some huge thing other than saying... Your s4 is on KitKat.
I have a sprint s4 on TW 4.4 and let me tell u...it looks just like TW 4.3.
So keep root..keep SafeStrap and wait and see if the XDA gods can bring root to it first before anything else.
I don't know I guess this kitkat thing is already tickin me off!
Do what you want.

An update is an update...I enjoy browsing through for new things. It's like flashing a rom? Some people like stock, it's clean and functional . Have been rooting and installing roms since my og droid days and this is the first device that I find no need to root to enjoy. It's filled with customizable options and speed.
I am sure Vroot can already root this. I will be updating when its out and root.

First: Old news.
Second: The article is comparing Verizon with the NSA. It doesn't say they're working "with" them. Also, do you honestly think that NFL Mobile is the only way they can track your info?
Third: I'm still laughing.

Once Verizon sends that OTA this way these forums are going to be littered with alllll sorts of nonsense like the sprint one are now. Trying to talk people down from the ledge after they Odin mk2 once they see they really don't like kitkat.... seriously it's been happening all day over there lol
