Hi,
I am on stocked FOF6, unrooted. I've searched and could not find consistent answers.
Some suggest that this can be done without tripping KNOX in one step: From 5.1.1 to 4.4 so you can root
Another suggestion is a 2 step process: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65236821&postcount=61
And another saying you can't http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65190239&postcount=54. This also appears in the compilation thread Compilation of S5 (G900T) Stock Firmware/Root Methods/Bootloader/Modem/Recovery:
*Note: Don't use official 5.1.1 if you want to be able to downgrade firmware. Follow these instructions.*

Has anyone successfully downgraded (without a rooted 5.1.1)?
Thanks

Hello I have an xperia tablet z SGP321 which is currently on android 4.4.2. But it's very buggy atm, and I would like to install a rom on it like omni rom or cm11. But in order to do this I have to root the device, and I would like to know how to root this? Am I able to root it currently or is it not possible atm due to the new software (4.4.2)? I have also tried unlocking the bootloader using the instructions on sony's website and other instructions by other people but they all failed. I know for a fact I did them all correctly and it just didint work. Is this because its not currently possible on android 4.4.2 on this device? Thank you in advance.

If you insist on installing something like cm11 you will have to unlock your bootloader before anything else. It is not clear what you mean when you say they all failed or it just didn't work. Did you follow sony's official guide? And by the way, it's better to make a back up of your ta partition before unlocking in case you want to ever revert it.
Have a look here. That worked for me to root my 4.4.2 device:

You have to do a downgrade to 4.1 before. But thats all in the root instruction.
Thank you for your help, but I found out how to unlock bootloader and install cm 10.2.1 on my tablet already. I followed instructions from a youtube video. It was quite different from the instructions on sonys unlock bootloader guide. I didn't have to downgrade either it worked with 4.4.2 .

Hi I'm am new to the Verizon G Note 2 and I have been reading the threads and I see many people asking the same questions but not really getting the information that I am looking for. I have rooted my device I am on the VRUEMJ9 build. I have renamed the ota apps so that I do not get the 4.4.2 update. My question is other than safestrap if I want to update to 4.4.2 what needs to happen. Do I need to wait for a pre-rooted Odin 4.4.2 rom or are we waiting for a rooting solution to 4.4.2 O.T.A rom

Since you're bootloader is locked and safestrap is only compatible with 4.3, you should not take to the upgrade to 4.4.2.

Good luck
The last and only way to get root...
THE LAST AND ONLY WAY LEFT FOR ROOTING....VERIZON S4 LOLLIPOP...
Listen guys I think this could be the only chance of rooting s4 i545 0f1 I have tried every single root king/towel root etc etc on pc and phone too but all failed because the main reason is that when ever u try to root it verifies the build/kernel number and when it sees that it's 0f1 It stops working because the new most stable update of lollipop with the build number 0f1 doesn't comes with a unlocked boot loader so that u can install other stuffs just like. I phone specially in version and some other verient it would be a waste of time to try any other methos except this let me explain it did u know a while ago after the release of lollipop some apps were only supported by the 5.0 lollipop or higher when people lowere then lollipop like jelly bean and kitkat tried to download it from play store it said that this vision is not compatible with your devise because the play store decetected the 4.0 version just like king root does with build and kernel and stops but some geeks found the way to solve that by changing the build and krnel to latest version like 5.0 without even effecting system what if we could do the same with the build and kernel member to the previous working one like 0C1 then I think king root and other apps might get to working the reference how to change the kernel and build with out effecting the system is just go to YouTube and type ( fix "your device isn't compatible with this version" ) this will give u the reference for that location and app to change the build and kernel number I haven't tried it yet but if u r on that please reply me but hurry I think this can really work just need some one to test that but hurry... and please do inform back if it really works...c:
OR the other last and only option left would be to downgrade your version s4 i545 kernel = ..... 0F1 to 0C1 kitkat Which is now posible with Oden and then root it then turn it back to lollipop 5.0.1 kernel = .... 0F1 the most stable kernel version out there hope that helped u all .... c: Thanks

Well, if you are officially on the unrooted, stock 5.1.1, and haven't installed the custom recovery, you can just take the OTAs. That would be the easiest route.
If you have bumped with TWRP or have a custom stock 5.1.1 ROM, or are rooted, then look for any of the threads that discuss how to revert back to 10B and once that has occurred, you can take the OTAs to upgrade to the latest MM version.
Actually, just a thread or two below this one is the guide you're looking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/lg-g3-downgrade-to-10b-t3354834
Not to sound mean or nasty, but I won't repeat what is in that thread because it's repeating things that are already outlined and just pollutes the forum.
Hope this helps!
Flash the 47A KDZ with LG Flash Tool 2014 if you're not using Verizon and therefore can't take OTAs.

You could flash this latest image if you want then:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/vs985-46a-stock-flashable-firmware-t3304365
You'll have to root and then bump with TWRP to flash it if you're not already rooted and bumped.
Hello guys.
Can someone guide me to root my V10?
Rooting this phone is pretty messed up with all the guides here. I've rooted all my androids, but this particular phone is confusing me.
My goal is > stock rooted 7.0
What I understand, I can't root 7.0, but I need to root MM 6.0 and then OTA update to 7.0 with TWRP. Is that correct?
Every guide I found had different TWRP ver and SuperSU.
Can someone point to me a simple guide to follow with tools in.
Not just "download and flash guide"
So far I've unlocked my Bootloader.
Thank you.
Never mind, figured the hard way.
And decided to stay with MM, Nougat is more like stripped version of MM.
