I'm not sure if this is the right place for this or not but I came across this method through Google. It worked for my Verizon Note 2 with the OTA 4.3 update. I also used Foxfi until the update. With Titanium Backup, I froze the KNOX security and Foxfi works again without asking to contact VZW. Thanks to the Devs who are responsible for this method. I hope it is ok that I shared the link.

I had my phone unrooted and on 4.3, ran the install.bat and it's rooted!
I can confirm as well. Thank you!

Unlocked too?..I heard root is possible, but bootloader unlock is not.

Don't know about unlocking the bootloader. I haven't found anything for that yet.

This method also worked for me, however I had to restore back to stock 4.3 with odin first.
Thanks!
Congrats! You successfully perma locked your bootloader by taking the 4.3 OTA.

For those of us who don't care about the bootloader, your statement is moot.

This is the case for me. I just needed root for Titanium backup primarily.
At least people will know there is a way to root it. Hopefully one of the devs will figure out how to unlock the new boot loader.

I don't think that downgrading is possible without tripping the KNOX security counter. As far as the s4, this root version should root the phone, and I believe that I have read somewhere about a safestrap app thst allows you to flash roms and such.

I have had no success with this method as yet. I run the script, and it seems to run fine, then after it's rebooted, when it says to run SuperSU, and let it update if it asks, the update always fails. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Found a way around it?

Sonofabitch it worked...I bought my Note 2 cash, JUST after it had received the 4.3 update (sigh) I understand about the no bootloader thing, but being able to use Titanium Backup again is awesome

as far as I know, you can't root on NA7 just yet. I had to revert to MK1 and root with kingo. but beware the update included knox into the bootloader so you may void warranty.

Yeah I just saw that you could push recovery with odin and install super user too earlier today. Not much development for l600 think im going to buy a note 3 tomorrow.

Just FYI, the Note 3 only has single-band LTE, where the Mega is tri-band LTE. Sprint's new Spark network uses tri-band LTE to maximize speed, and the Note 3 doesn't have the right radio.
Hi all, I know there's no official AT&T update to Marshmallow yet for LMY48Z but is there any way around this, perhaps by fooling the system?
It's for my girlfriend's device, which is NOT unlocked or rooted. I'm considering Android N, but slightly prefer a more stable route.
Thanks!

Fastboot flash the factory image from google. You will have to unlock the bootloader. There's tutorials in the general section to help you. Then you'll be on stock 6.0.1, and can flash each monthly update as it is released.
Thanks, but that will wipe the data from her tablet, correct?

No, it will not if you flash the bootloader, system, vendor, and boot images individually in fastboot. But you really will need to do a factory reset. When upgrading major system steps like this, 5.X.X to 6.X.X you will face a lot of force closes and other issues unless you wipe...
Unlocking the bootloader doesn't wipe data any more?

Unfortunately, unlocking the bootloader will wipe your device.

Nope. SuperSU does the job. I've never done it, but read it somewhere. Don't try it or you will get either a bootloop or brick your phone.

Why don't you flash Google preview image ? It will wipe everything and return you to stock.

I mean you should use the SuperSu to unroot, then update with fastboot.

It's a simple way to unroot (I guess)... Like I said before, never done it.

A easier way would be with Nexus Root Toolkit. It's an all in one tool.

Just download the developer preview #2 and use flashfire to install. That's what I did. Really, really easy.

Chainfire himself doesn't recommend flashing bootloader and radio using FlashFire.
The safest way to install those is using fastboot from a PC.
If you want to just unroot, and you are systemless, you just need to flash the boot.img.

So all you did was flash the dev preview image. Do you still have root or no

Please do not advise someone who is not familiar with how to flash images / return to stock to use a toolkit, ever. Unless you're willing to walk them back to stock step by step in their "Help, my phone is dead!!!" thread in Q&A...

OK what was your steps you made to achieve this
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
Download the developer preview #2 then use flashfire and use the flash firmware and then it will give you a few choices on what you want to keep (recovery, data, other stuff) them hit the flash button. If you look on YouTube there's a few great tutorials from maow droid and gadget hacks that I learned from. Hope I have helped.

Just wanted to say was able to use FlashFire to apply final 7.1.1 on developer preview. Just selected boot, system and vendor. Preserve recovery and inject root. No problems whatsoever!

Yes, that's the quickest method from a fully stock DP2 with twrp and root and is safe.

This doesn't update the modem. Seems potentially problematic not to flash it too as a general practice...? (Which I think you're only supposed to do with fastboot?)

From DP to 7.1.1 the modem hasn't changed.
Otherwise yes, it should have been updated through fastboot.

FWIW -- the modem included with 7.1.1 is 03.78. The modem that was on my 6P originally was 03.72 (but I was two security updates behind at this point, counting the one in 7.1.1). Who knows what changed between the two. Maybe something significant, or maybe not. But as a matter of practice it's probably just easier to take the time to update the modem with fastboot after a FlashFire OTA update finishes, rather than taking the time to research whether anything significant changed in the modem. Even with this extra nuance though, using FlashFire is still an improvement over manually flashing each partition and then re-rooting.
Just looking to root and install a mega clean version of android on my japanese galaxy s6 edge. I have build SCV31KDU1CQG1. This phone, and this version is UNLOCKED from AU KDDI.
AFAIK only SCV31KDU1AOCP can be rooted, but I can not find a source for it.
Asking for assistance. Thank you.
You can Always flash TWRP via Odin And root Using it.
Or you can Give kingroot a Shot.
