as of this moment, Alpha variants that can be rooted are listed at Chainfire's Autoroot page here: http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
no other options to root Alpha as far as i know as of today

Good link. Thanks a lot.

Lol because I'm addicted to having the Latest & Greatest... and I just never really feel right unless I've run the official build for a week or two.. (Even though CM11 is my favorite ROM)

And i thought Flash Support stopped at Jellybean anyway... (I may be wrong but that's what I thought) because if im not mistaken on my S3 you had to get it from elsewhere (not in the playstore) to have it

Sprint is testing it already and the international S4 is about to get its first leak (Tweet 1, Tweet 2) so I bet it won't take too long.

You could side load it and it will work still but not on kit kat. The flash fix for dolphin is the only thing I've seen and I just found out about that. The bean works great for me so I'm in no rush for the kk update.
If you want Flash just use the FlashFox browser. It works fine for me
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.browser.flashfox
It won't work with the regular flash apk on kk. Anything lower, then yes.
I don't want them to necessarily hurry, just want them to do it right. I'd wait an extra week if it meant less buggy.

I'm running the latest Nightly for my SM-N900P. But a official 4.4 build even with TouchWiz UX Nature? Still not bad.
Seems like google going crapple way. With each update they are getting so tight with devs. I thought google beleive in open source

Don't know how you define "many", but 10+ roms, plus official Cyanogen... Some great devs here... I think we're doing just fine.

Tmobile Diagnostics

Just found out today that Tmobile has diagnostic software @ technical support and they can tell whether or not your device has been rooted. They can also see what software you have installed, settings, etc.

That and in the tmobile my account you have to disable the "device check" feature.
Be sure to turn it off after visiting them. They turn it on sometimes. Happened to my cousin and buddy

Since you work for tmobile, it would be nice to get a definitive answer to this. Do they check knox when you trade the phone in for a jump upgrade?

Hi. .mega's are hard to unlock as I had a i527m mega (Canadian version) and I could not unlock ir myself and I tried different ways with no success. .so I ended up paying a company $29 and they sent me the unlock number within 10 minutes and the number they gave me worked good as they go right to Samsung to get it.
So you might have to do this also.

Hi..the company is called TheUnlockingCompany and can be just googled or just add .com at the end of it in a browser and you should get to the site.

Updated yesterday for me.
I updated mine, but I'm showing CVE-2015-3864 as still vulnerable.

I used an app called "Stagefright Detector" from the store. Takes about 5 seconds to run. There are 2 or 3 other apps in the store for this issue.
Or did you mean the update?
More importantly, did it break anything? I think I will wait a few days to see.
New to the Note 3, previously had a S3, rooted and ROMed, so this is a bit different for me.
Thanks,
Tommy
I don't think it broke anything, I was hoping to fix my light sensor with this upgrade but no. Ever since the Lollipop upgrade my light sensor sucks
