You tried rooting with the newly-released CF-Autoroot and it still failed? Or did you use the older version?

I have used the new CF-Autoroot without issue on OK2. Also using Dual Boot Patcher with CM13.
I would expect this to work

But it will trip knox. It wouldn't hurt to use a newer version of the superuser zip if you can find one.

Since towelroot isn't working is there another root option for 4.4.4 without tripping Knox?

Any root working at all? Sorry for the original vague title of the thread..
I used Chainfire's auto-root with no problem. Trips Knox, though. But it will root your device on 4.4.4.

Towelroot worked flawlessly for me several times on nc5
Just got my replacement Nexus 9 and it updated to 5.0.1 LRX22C right out of the box
What are you guys doing/using to root?

The method really hasn't changed to get gain root. Each time I flashed an update, I had to reroot.
So if you haven't already, unlock your bootloader and I used CFAutoRoot to gain root access on LRX22C. May want to install custom recovery as well...
Yeah, I was trying to use the toolkit in the Original Dev section but didn't work.
Will try CFauto tonight.
Thanks

So I was on the CFAutoRoot home page and saw that the root was based on LRX21L. Good to use that for LRX22c?

That's the version I used. All is well
CFAutoRoot worked for me and I am on LRX22C
Or install recovery and just flash the SU Zip. CF should also be updated and working. No longer need the kernel patch.

2. How can I remove Kingroot and get a root that use Super SU or any other good root that working besides Kingroot?

I'd love to know if this is possible, too. Now that I can't actually move apps over to my SD card on lollipop, rooting is a necessity. Unfortunately, Verizon and Samsung seem to be following Apple's mindset of not allowing hacking/customization. My phone updated to lollipop and OF1 version of lollipop in the middle of the night without my permission, and now it looks like I'm stuck with it.
There's no root as of now for OF1 but you should be able to Odin the downgrade back to OC1 via muniz post. He has a flashable tar file. The only way that'll work is if you didn't take the OTA and kept root. If you did the OTA and now have OF1 you're stuck for the moment.
so I've done tons of research and lots of people
including me are complaining because there
are no roots or root methods for the new i545vrugof1 update for the galaxy s4 Verzion. for people who didn't update, there are ways to keep your root when you update to of1 but for people who didn't update without flashing a rooted stock rom, there is no hope. you can't downgrade or root your device and you have no choice but to wait for a root method to come out or a new update. so anyone who is making a root for this specific firmware, please do so and help us out and remember to #rootvrugof1

I had successfully rooted I545VRUGOC1 using Kingroot but then I updated to I545VRUGOF1 through Smart Switch, and Kingroot doesn't work now. I've searched a lot but it seems root just isn't available for OF1 as for now. Is it possible that I downgrade back to OC1? Thanks
currently there's no way to root OF1 and you can't go down to any build below it, due to the fact that OF1 has a new bootloader.

are you sure mate? there are tutorials online about downgrading so I was just wondering if it's really impossible? I have the official I545VZWGOC1 firmware file downloaded on my PC, will it not work if I flash it on my phone (currently I545VZWGOF1) using Odin?

downgrading specifically this version?
The bootloader has been updated similar to the way it was from kitkat to lolipop, so downgrade is not possible.
Plenty of people [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/rooted-galaxy-s4-t3158098]here[/URL] and here have stated that OF1 bootloader is locked, with failures at downgrading to OC1 .
Go ahead and try it yourself, if you so desire. From my understanding people who tried gotten their phones soft bricked, though I have no idea how to fix.
I'm really interested to see this resolved too!
I just upgraded my phone from 4.4.2 NK1 yesterday to 5.0.1 OC1 and OC1 is still vulnerable to the stagefright bugs....
Could someone who is a developer explain to me why they can't just update the part of Android that needs to be patched..?

Damn I to would love to also see a root or bootloader hack for 5.0.1 OF1.
We have root for the OF1 update! Yes there is a root for this phone however I am having trouble installing the Super SU Binaries. Kingroot will root the phone if you off Knox and disable it. Next I downloaded SuperSU me and installed it on my device. Ran it, uninstalling Kingroot, then, SuperSU popped up asking to update binaries. Clicked yes, then normal and it is done.

Use Kingroot 4.9.6 to root. as soon as it says you have root stop. Then go install Super SU. It will then have you try to up[date binaries. Go download and install Super sume and run it. When Kingroot is uninstalled and done, Super SU will pop back up asking again for the binaries. lick yes and normal installation. Reboot and done. My device is exactly like yours.

Kingroot works perfectly
Try it several times, should work
I've tried Kingroot app and desktop versions with no success. I'm on stock OC1 after attempting to go from @muniz_ri's rooted OC1 to rooted OF1 (didn't work) and then using his OC1 downgrade .tar.
Are there any other options for rooting 5.0.1 OC1 at this point? Thanks
same. I'm waiting for any other option for rooting 5.0.1 OC1 (kingroot didn't work both desktop n device version)

Would you mind giving it another try? A few hours ago, someone on my YouTube channel was able to root using kingroot. I'm curious to know if its working again. Just remember, you need internet access.
a week ago I tried to root my S4 Verizon SCH I545 both PC and Devices method.
my PC/notebook and my S4 conected to internet but kingroot did'nt work.
btw, thanks for your attention.
I will try again next time
Not sure but if you have been on oc1 for awhile and have received security update policies that may be blocking it. A clean Odin back to stock oc1 may help.
