Nope. Just wondering if they are patching any exploits for root or bootloader

Root is based on the new NCH firmware, so won't effect root, and others who had already taken the update were able to root still. No worries, just root...as long as you don't care about Knox going to 0x1

I've kept abreast of the current state of s-off and root for the past week and have done some searches but haven't seen a concrete answer yet.
Will I still be able to apply the s-off and root method using the prescribed procedures and software considering I've downloaded all the available ota firmware?
Thanks in advance.

What about those of us who didn't install the OTA update? Can we still install it after S-OFF & root?

If the ROM you flash doesn't already have the updates baked in, which they will, then yes.

Does anyone happen to know if there will likely be a method of rooting a stock ICS OTA install without wiping data? I never got around to rooting GB on the Thunderbolt but would like to do so on ICS.
Not yet. I think the revolutionary unlock method can be done without wipin data but there is a new locked hboot and they are working to make an exploit.

Is that due to the overall lack of developer support due to the device's age or for some other reason?

And to add.... and the last rom Revolutionary tool could root and patch hboot with was 2.11.605.5. It didn't work with 2.11.605.9 or 2.11.605.19.

That is because there was no interest in finding an exploit for those since a downgrade to 605.5 was possible took run the exploit. Maybe if downgrade was possible with the new ota the old revolutionary method could be used.

That is the unknown. Can you downgrade from the ICS OTA to the older version? How dangerous is that for someone to test?

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this or not but I came across this method through Google. It worked for my Verizon Note 2 with the OTA 4.3 update. I also used Foxfi until the update. With Titanium Backup, I froze the KNOX security and Foxfi works again without asking to contact VZW. Thanks to the Devs who are responsible for this method. I hope it is ok that I shared the link.

I had my phone unrooted and on 4.3, ran the install.bat and it's rooted!
I can confirm as well. Thank you!

This method also worked for me, however I had to restore back to stock 4.3 with odin first.
Thanks!
Congrats! You successfully perma locked your bootloader by taking the 4.3 OTA.

For those of us who don't care about the bootloader, your statement is moot.

This is the case for me. I just needed root for Titanium backup primarily.
At least people will know there is a way to root it. Hopefully one of the devs will figure out how to unlock the new boot loader.

I don't think that downgrading is possible without tripping the KNOX security counter. As far as the s4, this root version should root the phone, and I believe that I have read somewhere about a safestrap app thst allows you to flash roms and such.

I have had no success with this method as yet. I run the script, and it seems to run fine, then after it's rebooted, when it says to run SuperSU, and let it update if it asks, the update always fails. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Found a way around it?

Sonofabitch it worked...I bought my Note 2 cash, JUST after it had received the 4.3 update (sigh) I understand about the no bootloader thing, but being able to use Titanium Backup again is awesome

This should work if you are stock 4.4.2 (KitKat)
Chainfire's Autoroot.

Please use this as a starting point to read about what you are going to do.
It's not hard, but you should read up on the procedure before doing it. Regular bootloader (which you probably already have) is sufficient. You shouldn't need the engineering bootloader. I didn't.
Good luck. (Read First, Do second).
If you care, this method will trip the Knox flag to 0x1.

So this just gets you root, no custom recovery which means no custom rom. Can you still flash zips with the stock recovery?

Every custom recovery will trip Knox so I haven't installed one. I think you can flash custom ROMs as long as they don't include or require a custom recovery. Yes, you can flash zips with the stock recovery.

Correct, that's why you have to Kingo root on MJ4 before going to NAB. Then you'll still be rooted on NAB.

I'm talking about the method in the other thread I linked to. With that method you Kingo root on Jelly Bean 4.3 MJ4 and when you upgrade to KitKat 4.4.2 MAB you're still rooted. It is a workaround until Kingo works on KitKat.
is there a way to obtain root and not trigger Knox?

If ya downgrade for the same customization as yo originally had, you won't lose warranty, otherwise you will lose. But that's a stupid question cause if ya root your phone, you will lose warranty. But you can get it back by flashing your original firmware (with your original customization)
