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?

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.

Instead of an asinine comment that does you no go, here's some info.
Yes, rooting will void the warranty. However, you can always Odin to go back to stock should you have an issue that requires returning your phone to VZW.
I've rooted both my old S3 and my current S4. I JUST started rooting on the S3, so I'm relatively new as well but have learned a lot. My S3 was stock rooted, but I took the plunge with my S4 and am running HyperDrive ROM which is HOLY MOLY sweetness.
It's up to you, but if you're going to root, perhaps look at the ROMs that are available and flash one. I'm not sorry that I started flashing Roms. Not one bit

How old is your S4? The reason that I ask is that there was an OTA update the broke root. Currently there are Dev's looking into how to root with the new firmware.
Have you installed the OTA update?
Phone is about a month old...I have made no changes to the existing phone so I don.t know about the OTA update (although the VW software that came with it appears to update the phones software when plugged into laptop)

Hi everyone, I'm finally about to OTA my verizon s4. I'm going to use voodoo to protect the root. I'm a little concerned about what voodoo is showing me, before I do the update. I have super su installed and not the other Superuser app and it gives me a link for the superuser one.
Please everyone let me know if it's safe to proceed and that I don't need to also install that other Superuser app, which I don't like. Screenshot attached, thank you in advance!

True, I just hate to go thru the trouble if I don't have to. I only have access to a work pc so its kind of a pain.

Im on mdk but I have no interest in loading different roms or anything so I really don't care about the bootloader. If I had a second phone then hell yeah I would go crazy but this is my daily driver and I can't screw with it. Besides, I actually like the stock rom. I just need root because I can't stand the limitation not being rooted.
So aside from my concern about the Play Store link in voodoo, will I have to also temporarily unroot after I protect root?

Totally understandable but root and flash a custom recovery. You may change your mind later and it'll be too late to do anything about it. There's a stock rooted ME7 in the dev section so you'd get the stadibility of stock, root and a bootloader you can manipulate if you ever choose to.
I've never been fond of flashing especially when I have no backup cell phone and I've already tweaked this phone to my liking. I honestly will never want to flash this phone... as dumb as that sounds

Fair enough. In that case, forgo OTArootkeeper/voodoo/whatever, accept the ME7 update and root it via the method in the Dev section. DISCLAIMER!! By doing this, you waive all rights to whine about your bootloader in the future

Yes. Don't take the OTA. I know you said you have no interest in flashing roms, but why limit your options now when you don't know what the future will bring. Plus even if you do take the ota and gain root, you cannot mess with the kernel. If it was me, I would just download the stock root deodexed version of me7.

So how's that work for you guys then? You can downgrade but the bootloaders still NC5? And you can still install SafeStrap? I've read multiple things about this and just want to know.
I know Surge's method ( I thought ) involved using SafeStrap from MK2 which makes sense. But those who simply took the OTA can actually go back down and still use SafeStrap?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
The bootloader will stay at nc5. It's a partial downgrade. But you get in to download mode and use odin. I haven't had any issues. Then you can use safe root and then install safe strap and then install the nc5 rooted file and your good. I did this last night again it was fairly easy.

Lol so much wrong in this post I can't even cover everything replying on my phone. Let me just respond to your observation of what happened with the bounty.
First off, the devs don't do this for a living and have real lives & jobs just like you & I. There were and are tons of people who are trying to figure out how to find an exploit in the bootloader. Trust me, it's one of the biggest bounties we've had on XDA a lot of devs would want all that money. The fact is that it's simply really freakin' hard to figure out and the methods of how to find exploits take tons of time. You have to understand while we have a few thousand dollars in the bounty it really isn't much compared to how much money we're up against. Verizon, pressured by millions of enterprise customers who want secure phones, made Samsung/Qualcomm spend a lot of money locking the bootloader up tight. It's very difficult to crack.

I did it using the old method of surges with the two files instead of the three. I cant upload it here evidently. I am not a developer by no means just have time being unemployed to mess with stuff.
Its pretty simple download the file and extract it and then open odin.
I used 3.09 and put the pit file in the pit slot and then put the downgrade into the ap slot.
The process will fail at cache thats normal.
Reboot the phone back into download mode and then I close odin and reopen it and then in the ap slot put the downgrade system file and it should complete.
When the phone restarts immediately press the up arrow to get into recovery. Then do a factory reset/ Wipe Data and also wipe the cache.
Once this is complete reboot the phone and it should boot and you will be back on the 4.3 partial. I then use saferoot to root and then install safestrap 3.72 and then boot into safestrap and install the rooted nc5 v2 file and then go back into download mode you need to go back into odin and flash and nc5 ap file and cp file and then reboot back into download mode and flash the csc file and reboot and your good to go. I will reply with a link to the files after I upload them.
I will post the file after I get it uploaded.
Surge1223's posts
I have searched for Surge1223's canonical posts on both reverting an SCH-I545 S4 NC5 back to MK2 and then rooting MK2 and the hack to move to NC5 without losing root.
I was rooted on MK2, but got caught by an OTA upgrade to NC5 KitKat 4.4.2. Ergo - no root.
Can anybody point me to these posts?

Follow Surge's downgrade to MK2 from NC2 (it works with NC5 i did this last night [after taking the OTA update]) and follow the upgrade to NC5 in the same post. but when you downgrade dont let the phone boot up at all, you'll have to flash 3 files, just flash, pull the battery out when it tries to reboot, flash the next file, repeat for the third file.

Hello.
I have searched the forums and I do not see this question. I have googled and see this answered all over the place. Some people say you can and some people say that you can't. Something about flash locked bootloader when 5.0 is installed.
I absolutely love my white note 3. I have had it for years and just replaced the charger port. I wanted another one for my business line. I can't find one that hasn't been updated because that is exactly what I want. Before I flash this one and mess it up I want to check with you guys officially.
This is what I have now and want on my second phone:
N900PVPUBMJ4
N900P.12
SM-N900P
4.3
N900PVPUBMJ4
JSS15J.N900PVPUBMJ4
I know how to flash this with odin and have done so many times. But I have always been on 4.3 and never upgraded. I just disable KNOX and rename all the update files so it leaves me alone.
This is the note 3 that I bought:
N900PVPUEOH1
N900P.12
SM-900P
N900PVPUEOH1
LRX21V.N900PVPUEOH1
SEPF_SM-N900P_5.0_0009
MDF V1.0 RELEASE 4
VPN V1.4 RELEASE 4.1
KNOX 2.3
... [ETC all the way down]
My question is this possible at all? What is the risk? What are my options? I really want to have a nicely rooted note 3 just like my old one.
If it is not possible can I root this Lolipop?
What I was going to do was just flash the note 3 I just got in ODIN like I always do with my old one, but I am afraid that I am going to brick it or its going to get stuck on the sprint logo because the bootloader can't be downgrading.
Well please let me know.
Thank you.
Okay. I tried something different. I searched downgrade within Q/A and did find some things stating that it is impossible. This really frustrates me. What are the odds of me finding a note 3 that is not already upgraded.
So now what are my options?
I really enjoy my rooted other note 3 for exposed installer, wifi-tether, and a possible ad block.
Can I do all this with Lolipop? Is it easy to root? Or should I just return this phone?
Let me know.
This is what gave me hope.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...t-guide-note-3-lte-sm-n9005-lollipop-t3093183
Is this not true? Special phone or something? I see it is for the International Version but it says Lollipop 5.0 and its downgraded. If its impossible how did he do it?
If all is impossible. If I root Sprint Note 3 on Lollipop will I trip Knox?
jimzweb1 said:
That one is flashable with Odin only. It would work but it would take you back to bone stock NC5 with no root and you would lose all your data. Think of it as buying a new phone and starting from scratch. I found one to but the download link is broken. Most of the guys here have updated to OC5 5.1 of course l'm still running my 4.4.4 NK4 deodexed debloated rom it's smooth and bulletproof.

Question here.
If I can't downgrade. Can I just flash a rooted "one click" on this phone and run that version of Lollipop on this phone or will that create problems as well? This will probably trip Knox as well right?
I think someone said that no matter what you do to root or re-flash ROMS now you will trip Know. That correct?
I am thinking about trying KingRoot.
I used Kingo Root a lot before and never tripped Knox. This one however seems to be support by XDA and should be better.
Do you think I could use this without tripping Knox?
