I've just grabbed this from my /cache/fota folder from my Verizon Note 3 before it applied and am providing a link for the many awesome people on here who are smarter than me to figure out how to root/modify it if they like. I suggest reading about what the update does to your system before applying since you will no longer be able to downgrade to 4.4.2 (NC4) since it updates your bootloader and blacklists the older stuff. From what I understand, this update will remove any root access you may currently have.
(I'm more of a lurker than a poster, so heres a modded link)

that looks like the right one
next is rooting stable enough to do yet or needs a little more cooking??
You can also find every HTC download at their site. Root is stable and you end up with the latest os.

Rooting has been stable since the day the TB got rooted & the ROMs began. You should be able to root & proceed with the utmost confidence in the community.

Hello Guys,
I have Kindle fire HDX 8.9" (14.3.2.3) rooted and safetrap install. I want to install Apollo Gapps ROM v1.3 by @ggow. he mentioned that Gapps ROM v1.3 is based on 14.3.2.4. As a result I want to update to 14.3.2.4 and do all the rooting and stuff.
I was wondering if the 14.3.2.4 still the latest version or not. if it is the lastest version, I just need to enable to update and update the whole thing. if it is not the latest version, Correct me if I am wrong, I can copy the 14.3.2.4 bin file to internal storage and then hit the check for update.
don't

Well if you did read any of the thread I believe it is mentioned in there it also works on your base no need to update. (See Post #77 for confirmation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2760542 )And from what I've read in several places it's possible if you update to the latest firmware you could be locked out of their future bootloader unlock. Nothing personal but I truly don't understand why folks don't read the thread on the modifications they wish to do before starting their own thread. While I'm sure that you are quite familiar with XDA you may not be so familiar to this device there are several threads that are sticky in the general and the troubleshooting section that have useful information like to let you know that bootloader is locked tight for now and we still do not have any fastboot capabilities so if you screw up your device there is no easy rescue if any. Statement in fact you'll see dozens of threads started in both of those sections with brick devices due to lack of research and lack of comprehension and the ability to properly follow directions they are ultimately end up calling Amazon for refurbished devices. My advice ionly do your own homework before diving in. I have seen very few devices rescued from a brick state . This device is no way similar to any Nexus device ever at least at this time.Good luck
I'm just your average Android enthusiast, not nearly as talented and skilled as you devs, but I know my way around my phone. I am currently rocking the Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 NC5 (Rooted with Towelroot and Safestrap 3.72 installed). I never thought highly of Samsung's user interface and have wanted to upgrade to CM forever, but as each new update comes I really, really want it, so I carelessly take the OTA. I've done this far too many times so I decided to disable the system update app so I wouldn't be bothered by the new updates that come around.
Anyway, I think it's time to upgrade to Lollipop now that it's available, but I really want to keep root access, and since you guys are the professionals, I want to know the best way to flash the new update instead of take the OTA, which, if I'm not mistaken, will let me keep root and the small possibility that I can get Cyanogen some day. Is it best for me to just go ahead and take the risk-free OTA update, or should I flash? If so, can someone guide me through the process? I'm sorry if this sounds like child's play to you but I don't want to brick my phone in any situation, so it'd be great if someone could help me with this. Thanks in advance!

Update: I followed a tutorial to update to OC1, but was not successful (Wouldn't boot). I used Odin to reflash the NC5 and now I'm back where I started. Anyone have an idea?
Here's the link to the tutorial:

Edit: Tried this twice, both didn't work. I'm considering just taking the OTA and not getting root. What should I do?
Hi there guys,
Its been awhile since I've rooted a phone so my memory is rusty on a few things.
Firstly, I think I read somewhere in a tutorial that the OS I originally download the stuff to has to be windows based?
Then I have a few more questions,.
I upgraded to lollipop already but I dont think that will be issue, unless you say otherwise.
The alpha came out on the official release list for marshmallow.
Will the root interfere with my phones ability to receive that update?
Thanks!

No on the second question. Ive rooted my alpha on KK and when i try to manually search for update it says the system is modified and doesnt proceed to finding updates OTA.
I Just Run Same backup Command in Cent OS, I mean I didn't change the Date As Per we have to change... And after that I run Again Same command with current date. So it's that any effect on my Samba Server?

I couldn't get the OTA update too but It was for a different reason. I bought an Att and put it on t mobile right away. The OTA update came from Att's servers or whatnot. I brought my phone into the samsung stall at a bestbuy and they pushed the update through their. Have you tried something like that for yourself?
Hi guys
I just got LG G3 from Sprint and I did somehow manage it to root it using kingo. I also got notification that update is downloaded (OTA), should I install it or not? Root and Hotspot are important to me but feel free go give me any suggestions - I would appreciate them. If you decide to do that I might need some help because I was away from android for a while....
Thank you in advance!
Forgot to mention, running 4.4.2 Stock Rom, rooted
The OTA you got is probably to take you Lollipop...I recently unrooted and went from 4.4.2 KitKat to 5.0.1 Lollipop. I read numerous times not to take the OTA updates when rooted on KitKat. I used an unrooting method that used the LG Flash Tool - something like this - http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html - though there's a similar guide here at xda, too. You'll need to download some files, including the flash tool. It seems daunting at first, but follow the instructions closely and you'll get through it.
Thank you on your response, I was very disappointed that many people viewed thread but ignored. My primary concern is - will OTA make device not rootable or rooting should still be easy process?
