[Q] Need Developement help!!! topic

So like an idiot, As soon as I got my Verizon G3 I checked for updates and updated to 4.4.2 KK w/ 3.4.0 Kernel and now it seems as though any developent I try and do gets blocked by the patch work.

So far I've tried to:

Stump root
Purple Drake
Flash CM11 via ROM Installer....None of which had any success. I am however able to run Google Now and Nova Launchers!!! EXCITING RIGHT?!

Can anyone tell me if there has been a way that people have gotten around this now seemingly unrootable / unROMable phone? Also, does anyone know when the official Lollipop 5.0 will be available?

Thanks guys!
