Tusharc2 I'm afraid not. Those of us stuck on 4.4.4 or above cannot achieve root. Probably never will as this phone is 2 gens old now. Only hope is if somebody figures out something for a newer phone that also works for this one. I left Verizon for this reason. Me, my family and extended...

ericdawson1971 I have the same issue, I get that annoying update request daily. My phone literally won't work with lollipop so I have no choice but to postpone the update every day. For some reason to which I am unaware I didn't get the update request for several months. But after you get it...

I did, that's where I got the firmware after the Ota didnt go well, same exact issues with the sammobile download. Odin also checks the md5 so I'm pretty positive I didn't get two bad downloads giving the same exact problem. Like I said, it's not the update, it's my phone that is messed. I'm...

Sorry I never responded as I don't check this often, glad it helped.

I wondered myself if I would have to ignore that update several times a day, but thankfully I haven't seen it ask once.

Awesome, glad it helped. I'm SO glad they didn't block the ability to do this, I'd have been out a phone if they had.

Yeah I did anything and everything I could, no luck. I think my phone itself is the problem.

Trust me I really wanted it and tried all the usual steps. I think something is wrong with my phones hardware that works mostly ok on this version. I actually stayed on an old version for a very long time, I rooted "root de la vega" and took one ota using the supersu option to keep root when...

For anybody that wants to go back to 4.4.4 from 5.0 I can confirm it works great, I just flashed back with Odin. The 4.4.4 firmware is at sammobile right below the lollipop firmware. The 4.4.4 flash put it into a bootloop to which I then factory reset and it started up perfectly with none of the...

I was able to odin back to 4.4.4 and it's working fine so far, I assumed that you would not be able to revert back like the last ota and just tried it as a nothing to lose last effort. This is very important news to anybody that is having major issues with 5.0. Maybe, just maybe I'll try it...

I spoke too soon when I said the phone was usable now. At best 5 minutes of light use as anything seems to crash it now. I did get a fresh image and used it with Odin with exactly the same result which makes me think its my phones hardware or something. Just seems crazy that it was working just...

Well it's not as stable as I'd hoped. More like before the first factory reset now, but still not good at all. The various sounds definitely trigger crashes quickly(menu options, volume pings, mp3 songs from sd card), but regular silenced menu presses do sometimes as well still. Phone also...

After hours of messing with this thing and nearly giving up, not half an hour after I post here for help, I seem to have found a solution, although hopefully not a permanent one. The problem was happening when I would touch the screen, not scrolling ever, but making selections. On a whim I...

I should also note that I tried airplane mode, safe mode, and removing the sd card with no improvements.

Verizon Note 3 here, I received the Lollipop ota today and thought no harm in taking it as I was already stuck without root on 4.4.4. It worked ok for the first couple minutes, then a reboot, then same thing, about 5 minutes and a reboot. Sometimes ~2 minutes, seems using it in any situation...
