So I took the KitKat 4.4 update on my Maxx. Needless to say, I now have dissolved my primary means of internet connectivity. I have scoured the forums and I found a lot of people asking about how to root when you are already running 4.4.
I tried downgrading the firmware, using RSD Lite, but I got errors (as you cannot downgrade). Since I am now stuck with 4.4 I figured I'd make the best of it.
Not sure about the procedures on the forum, as this is my first post, but I want to have a bounty here.
I got $20.00 on the bounty for whoever roots 4.4. I know there are others asking about it here: http://xdaforums.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=49493942
MODS: As I am new to this forum, forgive me if I'm overstepping my boundaries here.

Payment will be processed between each member and the bounty collector via PM on an individual basis
I'll update this page daily as I currently only have temporary internet access

This brings the bounty to $2,575 (not including Indigo Wine's bounty of up to $130 for bootloader, CoryDunbar's extra $100 for bootloader, and Dragon31337's $100 for bootloader)
Total -*$2,575, $2,905*if bootloader unlocked as well*
