Hi all so i have question, wasn't too sure on where to post it at and seems like this is the place, forgive me if I'm wrong. But i have a question, I have a ATT UNLOCKED Note 3 being used on T-Mobile, if i insert my att sim card that's deactivated, and update the phone to Lollipop, will the root go away? If so how do I re-root the ATT Note 3 with the Lollipop firmware, currently I have 4.4.1.

Thanks!

More than likely the update will fail to install since you are rooted. If you have Safestrap installed, you can flash this in Safestrap to be on rooted lollipop http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59666958&postcount=2

You can put it on your internal storage then flash it what way. Use Safestrap 3.75, if you don't have it. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473398959 It will not wipe your internal storage. :good:
Every other method out there says i'd need a sd card because it wipes everything, would putting it on my internal brick the phone? because i don't want to take that risk as i've had very difficult time unbricking last time someone did something without too much knowledge.

Thanks for your help btw.

They say seeing is believing, so here is a video http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2o7eke_oc1_tech Just freeze knox and if you get "gapps has stopped" message, go to application manager , then to all apps then uninstall the gapps update (Google Play services). So you know, you can't use Xposed with Lollipop. If you have any problems these are the STOCK N900AUCUCNC2 ODIN Files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54803130&postcount=136 Watch the video and you will see it will take about 8+ minutes for the first boot. Knox still at 0X0 :D

So the only limitation from upgrading to Lollipop is not being able to use exposed installer? and by uninstalling the updates from google play services, what happens? will anything be downgraded like play store?

Once you uninstall play services restart it (phone) and go to play store and let it update and it'll work fine then. Exposed installer and Viper4android will not work on lollipop. :( Trust me I know. I'm running this rom right now http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/development/rom-note-4-port-evolution-1-0-t2982296 it's not lollipop.

Anything that I can do to improve battery life? currently on 4.4.2 and lately it seems battery gets drained fast so i had to get DS Battery saver off of xposed, it's working better now but any other route besides apps? running stock 4.4.2

I never use any battery app and keep power saving off. I get about 2 days out of battery, but I use my Tab Pro more than anything else.

So i followed the method but currently I am stuck on "Samsung Glaxy Note 3" logo screen for about 10 mins with no change or anything. is this normal, or should i reboot and wipe dalvik/cache and then reboot?
