Rooting

I tried to root my phone using a guide on youtube. My superuser installed but is not working. If i try to install root another way will I end up bricking my phone? When I click Superuser, it says it is outdated, tries to update, but it says it can't.

Just follow the guide here. Look in dev section

If you have cwm or twrp installed/flashed right now then download this zip file
and flash it and you will be rooted: http://batakang.com/ftp/SGH-M919/ROOT_M919UVUAMDL.zip
After this is flashed reboot the phone.

rooting
I have an sgh-m919 T-Mobile galaxy s4
I rooted using CF-auto-root
It was very easy, and I had no issues with it.
Use the search bar to find it on this forum.
Its fast, free, easy, and it works.
Youtube can be useful as a tool, but use it for only part of your research, don't follow everything you see. I mean obviously it worked, but obviously, its also outdated.
Factory Reset and try again, this time use CF-auto-root

[Q] lost root still have supersu installed

yesterday I upgraded to 4.1.2 from my t mobile s3.. and now that when I try to open any root applications like titanium backup and greenify it says root access needed. I downloaded root checker.. and it says *you have no proper root access*.. I don't know how the supersu is still installed?? and it can not be uninstalled..? I tried to uninstall from the settings and asked me to reboot.. but still supersu was there? can anyone tell me how to permanently uninstall it so that I can root my phone again and clean install a supersu?
note: I did not have any custom rom installed. . was just having root access and supersu. .

How did you update? I'm guessing you have no custom recovery so if you want to keep everything stock but just have root, then flash the MD5 or respective root66 image for your phone in Odin

Just because you have Supersu does not mean you are rooted. What is the version after update ?

I updated from the notification bar on my mobile.. and yeah I did not have custom recovery either. . should I just root my phone again? I don't know what to do.. I have frozen some of the bloatware from titanium and I can't get them back? even after force stopping titanium backup.. ?

thanks.. I force stopped supersu and disabled it from there.. and it gone away..

If you want to root it use cf-auto root to root, re-enable supersu if you decide to do this

I managed to root mine with motochopper. I had some issues getting it to root because running bat file as amin doesn't work and you have to run it as normal user.

Finally gain root with motochopper, always failed before
I fail gain root with motochopper, here is what i do the last time and get root

The latest version of Kingo Android Root did it for me. Just download it, put your cellphone into usb debug mode in the configuration settings, conect it to your computer via usb and run the program.
Since I'm a new user I can't give you the link to the download site, but you can easily find it through google.

I have successfully rooted my gt-s6812 using the vroot method . The only problem i had was that the superuser file was in chinese which i managed to get fixed using the latest version of supersu. after installing supersu it will ask you to install su binaries .Update the su binaries do normal install and then it will ask you to remove other superuser or su binaries just do yes and you are done.:good::laugh:

I have rooted using vRoot too. How did you unroot?

How to: B506 ROOT

I thought that i open a thread about how to root the new KitKat b506 rom. If anyone had a successfull rooting, post it here. (Without custom recovery)
BB

VRoot 1.7.6.5833 rooted my Kitkat. Stock recovery.
The only catch is, it installed a Chinese version of Supersu. In old Vroot, I could put an English Superuser in the System partition to replace it. But since the previous version, I couldn't do it. So now I have to put up with a partial English and Chinese allow-dialog. No big deal.

Vroot works. After root, install SuperSU, update binarys after install SuperSU replaces Chinese root app. Run SuperSU again to be sure all works fine.

Just a quick question if you don't mind?
Does the SuperSU app work properly, without FC when you open the app?
The reason I'm asking is that the toast message of SuperSU is really long ("SuperSU has granted blah blah blah blah blah" or something like that), and it annoys me! Whereas with Superuser, the Toast message is short and sweet (Superuser has been granted").
EDIT: Never mind, I see the latest SuperSu app on the play store is working perfectly, and I've now uninstalled Superuser.
So, I'd REALLY like to turn that toast message off, and I don't want to keep getting the popup saying that the su binary needs to be updated with Superuser.

Why are you so obsessed with rooting WITHOUT custom recovery? You can root with TWRP and revert back to stock recovery. What's the problem?

For B506 root use this via twrp recovery :https://www.dropbox.com/s/nyfd8hd4wj3o842/superuser.zip

superuser.zip is not needed. TWRP will fix root itself at first reboot from recovery. After boot you find a SuperUserInstaller in your applist.

Flashback?

I think I need to do a Flashback on my Tablet so I can truly root it. I've tried a few ways to root it and all have failed. SuperUser won't open at all. Tried to Towelroot, even tried Stump Root and Stump says the device is already rooted, but I know it's not...
Just noticed I posted this in the wrong forum.

Got CWM into come up, but can't find the SU Zip file... So I just did the reboot from CWM... Now all it does is run a bit slower. SU trys to open, but stats Binary issues. Nothing changed, but slower device now.

When I got CWM opened I did a System wipe factory reset.
Then tried to use towelroot again... Didn't work...
Every link I found to SU was to the google play store... not a Zip folder...

Ok was able to run the SU Zip through CWM and had it rebooted after it was completed. Once it was on. I looked around on the Tablet and SU isn't installed. Running Root Checker Pro and it says the Devices appears to be running very Slow... Been on this screen for a few mins already.
Edit: Went back into CWM and Re-Booted... When I clicked on it a new page loaded and had an option to Fix Root... Choose it and Re-booted.

Downloaded SU from Google Play and it worked now... HUGE THANKS....

Well Crap... Says it's rooted. Xmod is getting Permission from Super User.. Mod installed in the Game... launch from xMod and the Game Crashes.

Ok opened SU and it triggered KNOX... Clicked to let SU to try and disable KNOX.... Been on that Screen for 5min so far...I also get a Security Notice Stating Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked.

..........................................................................

Unistalled SU and Restalled it. Let SU try and Fix KNOX again... Fixed it in just a Few Seconds.
Wroking 100% Now. The last issue was with XMod not the root.
BIG THANKS
