Root [Verizon] Heads up on New Update N900VVRUBMJE

[SFWB]

I was letting my wife play around with my phone and a notification popped up for this update. Before I could blink she let it update my phone. Root is gone, but I read above that Kingo will re-root it, so here goes nothing.

Try it a couple of times if it fails. I've heard of some that have to use a different USB port if it fails too.

It worked without a hitch.

Here comes KitKat! And it will EAT ROOT EXPLOITS for lunch!

If you're even thinking about rooting and installing a custom ROM, now is the time to do it... because rooting Kitkat could take awhile, if it's possible at all!

so the idea then, root not. and disable OTA and stick with what you have now, until an exploit is available for kitkat? is that about the size of it?

..sigh is the developer version available yet.. sometimes I think that might be easier. now if I can figure out how to recoup the original full cost of the version I have now.

Yes the developer version is available.

I might be wrong on this, but I seem to remember with other phones I've owned, the devs could extract the improvements from a new release and put it in their ROMs. At least that's what I think. I'm old so that may be completely wrong info.
