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.

[Q] One click Root?

I found this website http://www.oneclickroot.com/phone/htc-droid-dna/ I was wondering if it is a scam. Has anyone seen this?
I wonder if this works with the new OTA update. It would be sweet if it did.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
Anyone willing to try this? I'm curious as to how it works considering the only methods out there right now require getting superCID then using HTV Dev to get the unlock code and the former no longer works...
Also:
The Droid DNA is also plagued by a battery efficiency problem.

To me, you would think this, being a pretty big development, would break here on XDA.
While I am hoping its true, as I am holding off until something like this is released, it just seems a little to good to be true.
But go for it if you want!
Just follow a guide on here, it's pretty much dead simple to unlock your bootloader through HTC. I highly doubt this is legit but in the time it took you to make this post and wring your hands about it you could have unlocked the bootloader, rooted and installed a custom rom.
netstal trembley
im not saying its not legit but, like said a couple of posts above, if it was legit, i'd think it would be xda by now
My theory - If no one has commented anything at all and there's no one to vouch for it, don't become the martyr or the first victim.
I'm happy about the feed back from you guys. This is the reason I posted it here, because I knew someone would have a good insight about this topic.

Click the download button and it says right there that it won't work. Only supports android up 4.0.3, and no HTC devices although they hope to support them in the future. It's virus free according the VirusTotal, but I still wouldn't use it on a supported phone without confirmation from someone else that it won't ruin it.
Hi, I'm one of the people behind the development of One Click Root. I can assure you our software does not contain viruses or any other malicious code.
The poster above me is correct. We currently don't have support for HTC devices as we're still working on a few of the finer details of automating HTCDev.com bootloader unlocking. We do hope to add support for HTC devices in the near future, along with a number of the most popular new devices on the latest ICS and Jelly Bean OS versions.

[OFFICIAL] Verizon S4 4.4 KitKat (pre-emptive to stop all dumb threads)

I've been checking for updates all day to download KitKat, but it says I already have the most up to date software.
How long will it take Microsoft to release KitKat 4.4 for my Verizon S4. I can't believe they're so late with this update.
</sarcasm off>
i've looked through this entire thread and I cant find anyone with my problem so I thought id ask. Will I lose root if I take the update? How many roms are available for the new update? Almost none?! What?! Ridiculous! Oh well whatever i'll just go downgrade, its not like we dont have an odin image or anything ya noobs!
lol - had to add before this thread gets locked

It is indeed real. I just wonder when we will start seeing it and it's new features on our phones. It's nice that it will bring some continuity to the phones, as it can run on both low and high end devices. Perhaps eventually the OS fragmentation will be a problem of the past for Android.
Ok. Ok. I want to stay on mdk and get kitkat! Can I get an eta on when roms will come out. if they don't come out by tomorrow I'll just update anyway!

[Q] S4 abandoned.

Am I the only one that feels like the S4 has been partially abandoned by most devs [MK2]? Like AOSP is a dream we can say good bye to?
AOSP FOR MK2 IS THE MAIN POINT OF THIS DISCUSSION. STOP MENTIONING MDK
If you have an MDK S4 there are aosp ROMs available. If you aren't on MDK you're stuck with TW. I've actually seen a jump in the amount of developers in the past couple months.

And also more Devs are making ROMs generic now... Like liquid smooth. Its one file for all s4's and it detects which carrier/boot loader your phone is and installed the propper files.
This opens up many more options for the future of mdk s4 at least.. Philz recovery also has this now too so more and more are starting to use this method

Yeah I remember you saying that before, but this is exactly the situation that can happen. I would've never bought a Samsung device if I didn't love Touchwiz. Sure I run AOSP a lot, I'm on Google Edition right now, but if something happened to this phone I would be perfectly content with stock Touchwiz.
If you're going to stick on Verizon, it seems Motorola is the only company coming out with AOSP phones on this network.

Indeed indeed. I'm hoping that you guys will be successful.
If only bypassing the whole locked os was possible and just booting from an SD card (like the HD2), or kinda like what they did on the touchpad.

Unfortunately I cant find the right resistor to short to start the boot from SD process, though im still looking. The boot from SD is being tested on the note 3 today by some others so we'll see how that goes and go from there I guess.
I wish Samsung was as helpful as HP was with the touchpad, well that and a device was found with android already on it to help jumpstart that process.

The S5 is even more pointless if you ask me. It's going to come even more locked down than these s4's
Sure people will work hard at finding exploits but its not going to be any easier. Its getting to the point where more an more people will jump ship over to Sprint where you can still unlock the bootloaders.
So what if Knox gets mad and keeps telling you in tiny yellow and red letters during each reboot.

That's a joke right sprint?
People will jump to Tmobile. Unlockable and actually decent and fast service.
Granted the S5 (on vzw and att) will come more locked than the S4 but people (dan rosenberg or someone else) will initially come onboard and find a 2nd init or kexec method. Also vz has the most coverage around the US.

Hey I know sprint sucks balls for service I was just throwing one of them out there that's all. You get my point. T-Mobile sounds good to me.
