Easy answer, Android "L" has not been released to the masses at all..
I think your refering to Android 4.4.2 Kitkat which should be released any day now.
Likely and wishfully they will give us 4.4.4 instead.. But "L" Has not been even announced yet
I'm pretty sure that the op was just being sarcastic...

Yup. lol.
Why wishfully do they you want 4.4.4 so bad over 4.4.2? It's a few minor security updates, nothing functionally different from 4.4.2
And "L" has been announced. I was being sarcastic being usually with an announcement like this, people start up already asking when will my device get it.
I read somewhere, I think it was in the S5 Forums, if I find it.. I'll post it..
but it read somewhere that the Towelroot was NOT affected by the update..
Can't quote, but I think I saw it on a XDA Youtube Video..
EDIT: and at the time you mentioned when will "L" be announced..
At that current time, Google said they would make their "official" announcement the following day..
EDIT2: Here is all the info needed on Towelroot: http://lifehacker.com/towelroot-roots-android-kitkat-devices-in-one-tap-no-p-1592226618

I had read that the exploit used by towelroot has been patched on all kernels dated after June 6.
I am ready for the 4.3 or 4.4 already..if Canada can get it....what about us ( no pun intended)
Whoa re you with? Wind has has had 4.4.2 for a week.
I'm late but that's not the case. Nexus 5 at least had an update to a kernel past June 6th to 4.4.4 and the exploit is still unpatched. Some devices may have it merged or not but rest assured this will be patched by July's end. This will certainly not work on L when you guys get pushed AOSP to state the obvious. Here's to hoping you guys don't get an official update that breaks root.
Seeing a stupid comment on Google Play about an app you love and marking it as "spam". You've done it too.

I doubt we will get an update like that, though I won't discount the possibility. If what ive heard is correct (and I have no reason to believe its not), Samsung sent T-Mobile the final build for our updates weeks ago. Just for whatever reason they seem to just be sitting on it. Its not like T-Mobile to do something like that, but considering we were usually the first or second to get updates on the S3, and just about every other variant has been updated, I dont see any other viable explanation.
In the AT&T forums, a couple of the Canadian carriers (Rogers and Fido I think) got another kk update from NE6 to NF2 a couple days ago. Those who updated are reporting Towelroot and Framaroot no longer work.
Not that it matters too much for us here though. Our bootloaders are not locked so we can still root by several other methods if need be. I feel bad for Verizon and AT&T S5 owners though....they may have to start yet another massive bounty thread!

Haha geohot is known for making every tech company look like morons. I'd give it a week before he does it again.

Really? This pos hasn't even gotten KK and you want L? That's still in development mind you

If you're referring to the OP, it was sarcasm.

The S3 probably won't be able to handle Android L anyways considering the Nexus 5 becomes laggy with it.

I can tell by your backhanded keyboard insults you're a douche.
That the type of reply you wanted to your unsubstantiated opinion that nobody cares about?

I'll delete my post tomorrow. I'd rather not argue on here. I just can't delete from my phone.
