I've been away for a while and I apologize if the answer is here somewhere, I looked and couldn't find what I was looking for but maybe I wasn't looking right. Anyways I just got my S5, already tripped knox oops, but don't care. What I do care about is no more OTA updates D: so I'm not auto up on new stuff. I guess that's okay if I want root but I digress. Is there a way to update to 5.1.1 (i'm on 5.0) without nuking my phone? I get tired of the backup-update back and forth back and forth with updating. I already had a few snags with ODIN'ing the root for the phone and such. I think I'm on my 3-4 full setup and it's getting tiring.
TL;DR- Is there a way to update to 5.1.1 without having to backup/restore all of my data, like a pre-root or rootable ODIN of 5.1.1? Second, is 5.1.1 important? I heard it fixes alot of bad security problems.
Oh and I don't need a custom rom, I actually like the standard phone.

So you are wanting to run stock rom with just root?
Yeah i found out how after a bit of searching. But now i have seandroid not enforcing. Warranty set kerne
Update here, I just ran the stagefright detector and it shows me as being vulnerable. I updated to FOG6 5.1.1 Deodexed/Rooted. Shouldn't it have been patched?

Sorry don't know where to post this ...but here goes...does anyone know or think being on ME7 that we will ever be able to update to the latest operating version available directly from ME7? In other words IF..WHEN..4.4 comes out will we have to odin to MI1 then root, then odin 4.3 then root then odin 4.4 then root (hopefully) or does someone think we will be able to go from ME7 to the latest update directly..Just wondering if I should start the process now..... Mod can delete if doesn't think appropriate.....

that logic seems a tad bit strange, don't you think if there was a 4.4 root method that you could just unroot and return your ME7 back to stock and take all the OTA updates until getting to 4.4 and then root. eleminating all that work rooting something that you aren't going to keep? just a thought.
that sounds to simple..hahaha...I guess I just over thought the idea...all these forums with whats going on and all the hard work and updates and work arounds I guess I got caught up in it and was feeling kinda left out....thanks for straightening me out haha
The Official Release of KitKat 4.4.2 (NC4) for the Verizon Note 3 (SM-N900V) is now available and the official change log is HERE. However, that is the change log details changes from 4.3 to 4.4.2(NC4).
As someone who installed Beans pre-rooted version of the prior 4.4.2 leak (NC2), I'm curious as to the difference between the NC2 & NC4.
I haven't done any scientific tests, but NC4 certainly seems snappier and more responsive than the NC2 leak.
Also, I had three specific issues with the (NC2) build and all seem to be resolved in NC4...at least so far. First, the NC2 modem was worse than the MJ7 or MJE versions, but the NC4 modem seems as good, if not better than all the ohers. Second, the screen rotation would occasionally stop responding and get stuck in one mode or the other and only a reboot would fix it. And third, the auto brightness didn't work very well, if at all. After five (5) full days of running NC4 with Root I'm not having any issues and this seems to be the most stable and most responsive build yet. Also, battery use is almost identical to what I was getting before...although I probably have been using the phone more just testing it out and setting everything up the way I want it.
Also @anticloud pointed out that now when you setup your hotspot, if you select advanced options, you can now choose between creating a 2.4GHz and 5GHz hotspot. I don't believe that option was available before, but I never checked it in NC2.
Please post any info you have on undocumented changes from NC2 to NC4 and/or any personal experiences you've noticed between the two.
Thanks in Advance!
*** Take the advice of all the great developers and DO NOT install NC4 until they've had a chance to check it out and pre-root it! ***
Possible Visual Voicemail Issue
I did read that at least two users who installed NC4 are having issues with Visual Voice Mail.

Agree please rephrase you post topic because that's false information. There is no change log here

Okay...I heard ya and added a question mark at the end of the title. I assumed...and I figured we all did...that there would never be an 'official' change log posted by Samsung or VZW noting the changes from an unofficial, leaked firmware to a final, official version. That's why I wanted to create a forum where end users could document the changes they've noticed. Sorry for the confusion and misleading original title!
UPDATE: I changed the title again because we now actually have an "official VZW change log" which is available in the original post of this thread (Thanks @klittle81). However, I still would like to have users share their experiences from NC2 to NC4...which was my original intention anyway.

I think what he meant is like how me and probably others were thinking, this thread had a change log from 4.3 to 4.4.2 NC4. Thats what I thought.
On the other thread a user is claiming by turning on survival mode on SU he was able to upgrade and keep root. Have any of you that have upgraded tried that and did it work?

Yeah, I get that now. I didn't really think about it at first because change logs for 4.4.2 from 4.3 have been out since January pretty much everywhere.
I was going to try the OTA with Survival mode, but when I go to "software update" from "about phone", I get the message "unfortunately, settings has stopped". I'm running the pre-rooted stock 4.4.2 NC2 prepared by Beans. I assume he disabled it to prevent people from taking OTA's by mistake.

So, that leads to some questions about the people who are saying that they've installed the OTA with Survival Mode in SU. They must be rooted if they've got SU, but most devs remove the ability to do OTA's...so what gives. Are they rooted on 4.3 or 4.4.2(NC2)...and what rom, if any are they running that allows OTA's? Just thinking out loud...
I'm interested to see if they enabled the XLTE on the Note 3 since the M8 and S5 require software update....maybe that's why it took so long to get it.

Update Instructions

I just got my Note 3 today and took the OTA without even thinking. Now I'm on NC4 and absolutely no root methods are working for me. Anyone have any ideas? I tried all 3 stock ROMs, which failed. The unsupported root methods failed, through both download mode and normal. And the NC2 root ROM failed in Odin.
I read that some are unable to root ZV6. I can't even install it...
My Device: Sprint LG G3 LS990
Root: One click stump root.
ROM: Stock everything else (ROM, Kernel).
Tweaks: Very slight modifications to the phone (increased volume, changed boot animation and added some dual screen apps).
I am having a problem INSTALLING the OTA update. My phone keeps downloading it but after I select install and it reboots (after looking like it installed) I am still at the ZV4 version ( KVT49L . LS990ZV4 ) , not the new ZV6...
Any tips? Is the rooting of the phone the problem?
NOTE: I only rooted to be able to make a few tweaks...
Thanks!

Why would I need ZV6?
I already said that I am receiving the OTA. My problem is NOT needing the update but INSTEAD HOW DO I GET IT INSTALLED.
Please elaborate... Did you misunderstand my problem? TL;DR? Or did you mean to say that I will need to flash?

In all those threads I linked above answers all of your questions.
There is no root for ZV6.
If you have root on ZV4 you can't take the update.
If you want to update to ZV6 and still have root, then you'll need to unlock your phone so you can flash a Rom linked above.
You're actually lucky the OTA didn't install. Quite a few people have soft-bricked their phones trying to install the OTA on a rooted, modified device. Either flash the stock ZV4 using LG's flashtool and take the OTA (which can't be rooted), or install TWRP and then the pre-rooted ZV6 linked to above.
In the future, never, ever, take an OTA when rooted.

I wouldn't call ZV6 critical, but it does contain quite a few bug fixes and other minor improvements. The best way, IMHO, would be to install either the stock ZV6 ROM through TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/development/rom-stock-zv6-base-odex-deodex-t2949087
Or flash BarRin, a debloated, slightly tweaked stock ZV6 ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/development/rom-barrin-odexed-deodexed-t2950747
Since these are both ZV6, the updater will see you on ZV6 and not prompt you to update.
Because you may have made built.promp mods
So I'm currently back on Stock ZV6 waiting patiently for the Lollipop update (will return to root once lollipop is rooted) because I want lollipop as soon as it's released OTA. Since I don't have root anymore, I am unable to delete stock apps that potentially slow the phone down. Since I am not on root, I no longer use Greenify as it is not the same without root. My phone has been draining throughout the day even with normal use (texting, snapchat, facebook, clash of clans, etc.) and it would be around 20-30% at the end of the day (11-12pm-ish). I never had that bad of battery life on root.
I was able to look in the developer settings in the settings app and turn on "Do not keep activities". I have found that turning that on basically turns off multitasking and kills every app (stops it from running like Greenify or task killer apps do) after you exit.
My battery has been so much better and I no longer think I will ever use Greenify or any task killer in the future (with or without root) because of this stock feature.
I'd thought I'd share <3

You do realize that it will likely be a very long time, if ever, before a root exploit for Lollipop on the G3 is found. Right now it seems to be impossible to root Lollipop on a phone with a locked bootloader. If you really want rooted stock lollipop, the best (and maybe only) approach is probably to use Flashtool to revert to ZV4, root, and wait for a pre-rooted lollipop ROM to come along.

But what if the restore tool doesn't work like that on the new 5.0 OTA? What if it won't let you downgrade to ZV4 in order to root and bump? The other thing is OTAs are usually captured and posted here in the forums for flashing pretty quickly after they are released so I highly doubt you'd be waiting for anything longer than a few days for it to get posted. There's a strong possibility that we may not see root on the stock 5.0 because of the way lollipop changes things (not having an unlocked bootloader is the main issue here). I have a friend with a G3 on AT&T and I've been telling him this same thing: It's a huge risk waiting if you are at some point in the near future going to want to use custom roms, especially when LG is going to make it neigh impossible after this next OTA. If you have little desire to flash custom roms or have root permissions, no hurry lol. AOSP is sooooooo smooth on this phone and I would never want anybody to miss out on the opportunity to try it because LG wants to crack down on the exploits.

I would recommend using BarRin unless you intend on using the included LG Health features and stuff (BarRin keeps the remote, camera, and other essential pieces, only removing the health stuff and other unnecessary nonsense... I believe there's a means to install these back into the ROM in the BarRin forum but it's been a while since I've been there). Yeah, I totally get what you mean. It's a tad inconvenient, I'll admit it, but nothing sucks work than being stuck on stock and not being able to modify it when desired. And like I said, I'm sure once it's out in the wild we'll get it posted on the forums within the span of a few days. No thanks needed; just looking to be helpful!

Just to reiterate a bit on what meyerweb and outofluck already said, I just wanna help clarify, if you decide you don't like the LP OTA, there is about a hundred to one chance that with the LP OTA you will NOT be able to downgrade to zv4 to get root back. Anti rollback is almost always included in OTAs. And as meyerweb said, there is no root far an OTA LP yet. And as was already said, if you keep root and custom recovery, the devs here will have the OTA ready in zip file and probably rooted in less than 2 days. You don't like the LG LP, then you can roll back. But if you take official LP OTA I almost guarantee you will not be rolling back, and will no longer have options as to which OS you want to use.
You'll get it here just as fast, AND you'll have ability to roll back (most likely).

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?

I spent 2 days searching the forms. So I figured I was in the right to ask a question.

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

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...
