I would wait to update for now. If you update, you'll most definitely loose root and custom recovery. Wait until devs make a modified version of it.

Thanks! :good:
While this is good news, it should be taken with a grain of salt as "Unlocked" means no carrier affiliation. You have a while to wait before the US Carriers trade bloat filled test builds back and forth with Samsung. Then they still need to decide when THEY want to send out the OTA.
We did it! Thanks david!
this may be a bit of a noob question...
the leaked lollipop rom for international versions of the S4 that looks to be easy to root and flash from a quick glance that i had at that thread....
will that kernel help us make a easy to mod rom since its an official from samsung kernel... or does it have to be a SCH-I545 specific kernel?
thanks
Brian
The Verizon GS5 has started its Lollipop rollout today, earlier than any other carrier. Hopefully, they will do the same for us...
Would it be possible to flash the international version somehow?

From what I've read online it'll be mid 2015 for verizon S4's to get it... but take that with a grain of salt.

Just installed Lollipop on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10". It runs pretty smooth. Looking forward to having it on my GS4. One down, one to go.

Interesting. I thought Verizon won't be rolling out 4.3 anytime soon considering they just rolled out VRUDMI1 update
Maybe Verizon is starting to realize they're assholes and trying to remedy the situtation?
Nah, it's Verizon, they'll always be assholes.

the real question is when will the OTA come for 4.4...im hoping that when it gets announced with the Nexus 5, the Google Play Editions will get updated so we can get stock 4.4 custom ROM and that it will work with people who had to root using Safestrap

I wonder if we really will get on the 28th.
Not getting my hopes up just yet
I Will Believe When It Is Downloading
I've been thru this so many times with so many phones thru Verizon. I now only believe when it is downloading.
It sounds so pessimistic but that what they have done to us.
So for me seeing is believing.
Sorry to be so pessimistic
Not going to happen. I'm a pessimist too and I am nearly willing to bet this will not happen on 10/28. I think we should bug the hell out of verizon though....pointing them to this leak to make sure it gets out ASAP.

IIRC GPE later then 4.2.2 (or what ever the current one that works on safestrap) uses a different kernal then the regular touchwiz and will not work until kexec is developed.
Though hopefully 4.3 does come out soon, I get the feeling that having a new update to android that cannot be installed w/o a new kernal will help push kexec along...
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
I think the 10/28 date is when Samsung is submitting the 4.3 update to Verizon to review and approve. It makes no sense that Verizon would update first out of all of the US carriers based on their past history.
Look at the rest of the S4 and S3 dates, most of them are slated for mid to late November, which seems more likely for a Verizon release. The other carriers don't really have a reviewal process like Verizon does to my knowledge, so they get the update and just push it to devices almost immediately. Therefore, Samsung built our version of 4.3 first and is submitting it earlier so that all of its devices get 4.3 around the same time.
Of course, I could be completely wrong and Verizon is releasing the 4.3 update on Monday. I won't complain if they do
I wonder how many of you will say lol woot when you download the update on 28th or 29th whatever the date is
I'm not getting a woody over this atm. It will likely be so locked down as mentioned that safestrap & roms will be out of the question for who knows how long. I'll stick to the customizations that I have now via ME7 & safestrap/Hyperdrive Rom.
Updates to me are useless until at least root can be obtained.

I don't care about the root aspect as I haven't been able to really flash a ROM being on me7 and now the newest update, but if this holds true, I am excited. Otherwise I think it was a typo and they meant Oct 28 2014 for Verizon.

I think they're doing something like that for ATT people but they got the 4.4 update I believe so that's a different story.
Only way a Verizon users have gotten 4.4 TW is by being on an MDK S4 and using jrkruse's patch.
Hashcode and some others are working on things though... Just have to be patient.

hey THANKS BRO! Really appreciate it. Actually got it to a state that I believe its restore-able some how via software only just a matter of expanding our knowledge a bit. Surge just hooked me up with a file now I'm trying to get my buddy over here so I can copy half his phone n try this SDCARD method one more time... Otherwise its off to JTAG but at least its not shot. Picked up an S3 from a friend but VZW refuses to add the IMEI in and I wasnt commited to changing the number. I spose your lovin 4.42 on mdk now :?) really wishing I could still flash custom kernels and my mdk didnt overheat... course i thought if I did a warranty I'd get a new MDK model suprised to open box and pull out an MJ7 thats been refurbished, damn NASA lol
soon as our systems get leveled out i'll be publishing for MDK again. I'd do updates for my current ports but I don't know that theres enough mdk users that would want foxhound 4.6 or omega 28 or echo 20 n im pretty sure jrkruse's zips auto port now so those all probably work with just a flash of his... im jealous of mdk users yall got it made
Ok, just checking in here, I have roms built for this device, TMO and the International flavor.
I see root has been established as well as a recovery method, am I right here?

these are really great Ax. you should definitely think about building the S5 for the note 3. also the S5 will most likely get a software update tomorrow as at Uncarrier they said it will be added to the list of voLTE capable phones.
Samsung Galaxy S 5 will have a software update to Android 4.4.2/Baseband G900TUVU1BNF6 that turn on VoLTE, more information link below.

Wait for someone else to try it and see what they say to do. Likely, don't take OTA update unless Towel Root works and that will take trial and error.
I am thinking as long as you didn't modify any system applications (like I did) you should be able to protect root with a program (I forget the name) then update and use the app to allow root again.
---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------
And also now that I think of it, being towelroot was just released I doubt Samsung would have patched it. What I was thinking of doing if that is the case is just flashing the new update with Odin once it's up at Samfirmware and then rerooting it.
Ha ha you can tell I'm addicted.
Checked about 8 times in the last two hours. Still haven't got an ota yet.
They said update through ota is available only in VoLTE markets, others should update manually using kies 3 at or after Jun. 20th. Thanks op for the heads up
Looks like it's only radio update, I guess it doesn't affect root.

Well true. But my next phone will be a note a developer edition phone. I mostly use my phone for wifi hotspot. But I'm guessing I will have to buy foxfi it works. But I was trying to avoid it buying the version. And hoping to get root back.

I too have messed up ,installed Lollipop . I have an s4 I545. Now I think Before I get the next phone I will check to see if it is rootable.
What I don't understand is if we can root the s6 Why wouldn't it work on the s4? Am I missing something?

I'm guessing different chips then s6 uses the exynos 64 bit and the s4 uses snapdragon 32bit.
Ikr It's Weird That We can root the s6 but not the vzw s4 it turns out pingpongroot supports kernels built before may 15 and are kernel was built March 30 so it's probaly possible that the exploit pingpongroot uses would exist in our phones just a guess though are kernels are different of course it's a possibility
I read somewhere that there will be a lollipop 5.1 update by the end of July but it's unofficial if that's true

Yes I see where u going but also look at note 4. It still can't get root. And it's been how many months it's been out.
I'm sure if that update does come out there probably going to mess something up in that update but it's suprising the note 4 still doesn't have root you would think the note 4 would already have root it's not like the s4 that's almost 2 years old

If, and that is a pretty good IF, they update the S4 to 5.1 Verizon's version will never see it. Verizon is just too lazy and only care about their cash. I was surprised to see us get 5.0
They may both be lollipop, but have different code. Also, this update was sent AFTER the s6 exploit, meaning Samsung/Verizon had time to patch it. Therefore, the same method won't work.
