Hello all!
Thanks for the great info.
I was able to install saferoot and get my phone back to some semblence of usefullness after my phone took the I605VRUEMJ9 update, without my permission nonetheless, but now that I have it rooted, I need to stop them from doing any more updates unless someone here says it's safe and that it won't remove my root!
Can anyone advise how I can stop the update that's currently prompting me to install it and prevent them from installing in the future?
Thanks for all the help here!!

Thanks for the info. I was able to disable the google framework items and renamed the update.zip file, but I cannot find the com.lge.lgfota.permission? I installed the root browser and used it to do a search, but all it did was sit there for hours saying sorting and never found it. I am running a backup with Titanium now. Can someone tell me what SDM is and how to disable it as I read above that I needed to do that?
One more thing, my Note II is now asking fo an unlock code and I can't figure out how to remove it? Is that something that comes with the FoxFi app? I had it before I took the I605VRUEMJ9 update and it never asked for an unlock code.
I am SOOO SICK of Verizon screwing with MY equipment!!
Is this update going to screw with my partial root since I already took the I605VRUEMJ9 update? If not, I'll just let it do it and get rid of it and hopefully the changes I made will stop the next one that tries to download? Yes, No??
Thanks again for all your help here!

So, sorry if I sound illiterate or even rude with this post, but I am frantic at this point. I currently own a Galaxy S4 on Verizon wireless running 4.2.2 (VRUDMI1) and I am having a lot of trouble upgrading to 4.3. I was currently rooted without an unlocked bootloader using a root that you guys created (thanks a bunch for that) but now I want to upgrade to the new 4.3 and get rid of my root. I tried using the OTA update to upgrade to the 4.3 version and it failed, 3 times. I was then reading about this "Samsung Knox" stuff and it's really freaking me out. I would lose my warranty and I could never get it fixed or repaired or anything if I trigger this e-fuse. So I did a factory reset, twice, and it still says Samsung Custom with a little picture of a lock that is open and I am afraid to try and upgrade using the update to 4.3. I am worried that it will trigger this Knox because it says custom. I am not using a custom anything, it is all stock Samsung everything, except for I had root access. I read that you can restore this "Custom" message using Verizon's Software Repair Assistant and I have been doing that for 4 hours now and it is stuck on downloading. Is there ANY other way to make that custom message go away WITHOUT RE-ROOTING? Will this message trigger Knox when I try to upgrade? This is all very stressing for me and I will probably NOT root again after this. I just want a safe and reliable way to upgrade to android 4.3 without triggering Knox and without having to root. Please, if you can help me with this I would be EXTREMELY grateful. I hope to hear from anyone! Thanks!:crying:

Oh my god, thank you so much. I am so happy right now! It says official! Thank you so much! I can finally sleep now. Is there any thanks button or like button or anything so I can thank you ;-;?
Edit: I'm blind with exhaustion and did not see the Thanks button. If I could spam that button, I would. But thank you so much, sir!
Just got this Verizon note 2 from a friend, 4.3 MJ9, rooted it with saferoot method and found that an update was downloaded to the phone. Where is this update so I can safely delete. Also, with all this talk of locked and unlocked bootloader, I was wondering what are my options ROM wise? Way too much Samsung junk to freeze on here and I haven't flashed anything since my Bionic! Thanks guys
Can someone at least tell me where the update downloads to so I can delete it?

Patience..
Update is usually in cache/
Anyway... 4.3 is also locked.. So your only option is SafeStrap..with limited ROMS
After you delete the update freeze the app SDM 1.0 so it doesn't download again.
Brought the phone out of retirement due to theft, thanks again!
Just looking to root the most current OTA, my search so far makes me believe its not possible. Is this true or am I missing something?
Thnak you!
I'm wondering the same thing. I recently had to get a replacement phone and unfortunately it's running stock 4.4.2. First time I've ever had a phone with a bootloader that couldn't be unlocked. I would like to at least have my phone rooted. Anyone out there willing to share a root solution with us?

Yeah it really sucks. I need root to fully make use of my chromecast. A bunch of devices received screen mirroring but not the note 2. Such a sinple thing but so difficult to root. Hope we can get root soon. Thank you to anyone who is still working on this.

I currently have a Verizon Galaxy s 4 and I just updated to I545VRUFNK1 Baseband running 4.4.2. I would seriously like to root this phone as I am growing bored with it. Is there a link on how to root it and if so can someone please post a link for me. I would like to keep use of my Galaxy Gear 2, but if that is not possible I will just sell it. I apologize if this has been asked a million and one times. I had root once before but lost it with an update.
Thanks in advance and thanks to everyone for their hard work. I also wanna apologize if this is in the wrong place.
I'm a Verizon user with this same update/fix (I545VRUFNK1) on Galaxy s4 and have lost root, I tried the trusty towelroot, and now it's saying that this device isnt supported.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, This update that samsung did for me lost my root, and threw back on all the Bloatware. It did however fix my daily random reboots (averaged 36 a day) wifi Password sticking issue, screen rotation issue.
Thanks in advance!
grr8xtc out of curiosity perhaps you could try the towel root that worked for before this newest update (I545VRUFNK1) maybe you will get lucky, and if not then we know Verizon broke it on us - here is the link that worked for me when trying to root before todays update - http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...ve-and-maybe-almost-any-other-current-device/

hello there. first off there is a work around to get root access for NK1. But i would like to say you are in the wrong thread posting this question on here. It should be post in the questions and answers thread. but ok getting back to your question. for you to gain root.
1.first you must downgrade your device to NC5. Try using the no wipe technique first to see if that helps for you to keep your data if not you need to wipe.
2. after you have successfully downgraded used toowel root to gain root access on your device.
3. Used muniz_ri root method to root NK1.
Well i hope this helps and here are the links.

the security updates mean nothing for your root installation. I don't know exactly what they are but it's nothing to do with root.

Grab the king root apk works great
Will CF auto root would it be able to root android 5.0.1. I really do not care about the Samsung knots being trigger my phone is already out of warranty. I just have insurance if it gets stolen or I drop it in water. Or should I wait until they find a root method without triggering Samsung knots. I read about triangle away but like I said at this point I can careless if it gets trigger. What are you guys opinion?
The first rule of XDA is - Search.

As of now, if you took the OTA and did not preserve root, there is no root method available. Also, "Knox"

No root for OC1 unless you took the neutered tar through odin or used a ROM from @gigilie or another dev .

Thank you. I was did preserve root. for lollipop but what happen I let my nephew play on my phone and he ran safestrap and i was stuck in a bootloop. I couldn't get it out no matter what. I was in the bootloader OC1. I was one of the guys that help Muniz achieve root for everyone. We were having Wifi issues but i told him i would upgrade my bootloader to help if it would fix it. but it was the kernel. So i needed to used samsung kies to get my back up. So thats how I lost root. But thank you for your help.

Fyi...... @dgutierrez04 was the guy that pulled the OC1 ota update for me when no one else could due to the two part 5.0 update. He also took one for the team during testing of the OC1, Stock Rooted ROM so many of you enjoy today by updating his bootloader to OC1.
I assume he has no backup phone.
That said, it seems a lot of people have to use Kies... as Odin reports fails...
I did not root my I545 verizon so now I have lollipop oc1. My question is should I not take the next upgrade for lollipop or at this point does it make a difference as far as getting root?
Thoughts are more than welcome

No I do not have a backup phone. But hey that's how we learn. I will do it again for the community if I can capture again the update and test it for everyone I would. I am a te player. I wish I could built roms but I'm not that smart lol.

I suggest is to wait and hope they can find a root method and try to avoid future updates as off right now. That's what I would suggest you doing as for me I will be doing the same.

Neither am I(smart enough for a ROM build). As much as I love Unix, it isn't a full time playground. Still loving Visual Basic and batch...
