I just got the us cellular s4 mini sch-r890 and immediately update to 4.4.2. I have been spending most of my free time looking for root instructions but I have only seen instructions for the international versions of the phone. If anyone has info on how to root, it would be greatly appreciated. This is my first post so apologies if I placed this in the wrong forum. I've seen other posts asking around, but haven't seen any definitive solutions.
So I finally got it using towelroot.

I am having problems rooting my phone. I tried a 1 click meathod, checked the roit wirh an app and it says not properly rooted. The next time I typed root int my browser(not chrome) my net started lagging, got dumped off pages. I downloaded the xda app then tried to get the labs upgrade and my phone restarted. (The apk) The dll is in my notifications as I write this. Does google block attempts to root devices? I am not worried about voiding my non existent warranty on my S4 mini. Help please.
Anyone try this app from Samsung?? (You can download for Samsung app store) Seem like it's not working on rooted Loly? It claimed that I am not using original samsung software? and just shut down itself.
Works good on my Edge. I'm using the free version.

Hmmm...strange i cant seem to get it run on mine. Keep saying its not supported on non samsung official firmware. I thought it must be the root that causing the issue. I will try to unroot see if it work. .

update: I reflash my firmware to unroot....and it does work! I am really unsure how you managed to get your Music to work with rooted firmware?? even if it comes with the phone....It seem like this app can detect whether the firmware has been modified or not (in this case root). Once I rooted, it stop working.

No, I'm on AT&T. No root available.
But yes, this app was originally designed only for Samsung and therefore can detect altered roms, etc.
Works fine on my rooted sprint edge

For future reference; Install Xposed if not already then download RootCloak from the "download" section. Once downloaded go into the RootCloak app and check the box for the app/apps you want.

Tried this on my Galaxy Tab S and couldn't get it to work. With rootcloak on it crashes on bootup and without it I get the generica non-samsung firmware error. Any other ideas? thanks

Ok further to my last post, I was able to get milk loaded using a module in xposed called 'Chocolate Milk'. Please note if you use this module you will need to sideload(not install from the appstore) MILK to get this working, good luck!
Working great on rooted sprint. Love this app i use it everyday.
only available in the United States... anyway to bypass this?

Search is your Friend ....
As far as i Know it doesnt work on lollipop & only works for KitKat. it doesnt work for mine on Lollipop. Also its not a Perm Root, Root is lost upon reboot
Search the Form there is a bunch more info on it
Yup, only works on kitkat and it's temporary only.
The devs are working on a permanent solution. I personally have held off with trying king root because I don't trust it.
I am downgrading and i am going to attempt kingroot because i wanna get rid of bloatware and i never turn my phone off unless i really need to.
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app
I believe there is a debloater that's been out for lollipop that doesn't need root.
I also think I've read that even if you don't reboot, over time or after messing with certain parts of the system, you'll lose root.
Debloater doesn't remove bloatware, only disables it.
Kingroot has been reported to cause random reboots, which is why I haven't tried it in spite of the fact that I rarely if ever reboot my phone either.
Also, something I've come to wonder... What good would deleting bloatware be if those no custom ROM with reworked partitions? We wouldn't be gaining any space from the ROM partition (where system apps are stored) But we can already delete all the updates for system apps (since they go in internal storage instead of overwriting the original app in ROM storage). At least this is the way I've come to understand it from using Titanium Backup on my old devices.
I didn't think king root was actually rooting your main system rom? Thought that was why you had to use multisystem and from that point you would install the rooted kitkat rom, etc..
But if kingroot does root the factory system, then you could simply root with kingroot remove the bloatware then it wouldn't matter if you lost root after a reboot. Correct?
I am not sure but i am trying to downgrade my note 4 right now and i hope it doesnt brick

I was wondering if I went through this temp root path and modified my hosts file as well as using "SDFix: KitKat Writable SD" to give me write access to sd. Would they stay that way modified host file and write access if I hard rebooted and removed king root or SU after doing those things originally with root permissions?

You can downgrade to NJ5 4.4 rom and get temporary root with King root, if you're on OAF. However, if you took the OTA upgrade to OF1 or above, you cannot downgrade. You stuck with LL with no way to root.

I dont think kingroot is root at all.
I dont understand the term "temporary root"
Even if its temporary, changes it makes to the system should be permanent yet they go back to normal.
I tried using system app uninstaller and it said "succeeded "
I tried to use AdAway and it said "successful"
I even opened up the system/hosts file to confirm the change was made, yet after reboot everything went back to stock.
Not only that, but kingroot comes with FULL SCREEN ads that pop when you exit application that requested root access, and they are annoying playing videos and eat up your data.
I think kingroot creates virtual root environment inside RAM. Changes made inside RAM do not apply to device storage. Nothing is changed to say the very least but allot of garbage and spyware is added.
Even after uninstalling the app, its service is left behind and you gotta remove thru "Settings/applications/All"
Smart Chinese should have put their knowledge into cracking the locked bootloader instead of creating fake trash like this.

I was playing with my buddy's note4 (sm-n910v) this evening and I used Kingroot's Purify app. After running it, I went through every option and it finally gave me a link to the Kingroot.net download (XDA's wouldn't parse for me).
I installed Kingroot and ran it... fail.
Rebooted
Ran Purify again, followed by Kingroot.... Root Successful!
Ran RootChecker..... haha... tripped the knox.... auto reboot. (Note to self... don't run RootChecker)
Ran Kingroot.... much faster root success this time!
Verified root by turning on the root explorer in ES File Explorer's options.... Root was asked for and granted.
Instead of removing the bloatware using ES File, I opted to give the Purify app another try in hope of getting root to stick.
That's when I came Purify's 'Debloater' app.... It started ok, so, I handed my buddy his phone and told him."Better get some while the getting is good!".... He had about 30 apps checked when I stopped him and suggested he make a back up before he does anymore!
Apps uninstalled successfully and my buddy rebooted (ok...I guess we're done).
After reboot.. root was gone but, so were the 30+ apps!
Long story short.... Getting root is possible... You just have to get root when you need it and be decisive in your actions.... Remember anything that trips the knox and try to avoid it!... Work Purify and Kingroot back and forth like a couple of wedges... I think I was close to getting root to stick permanently but, my buddy had to go home and he took all the toys with him
I guess the next step is getting rid of, disabling or re-configuring the knox.... So, please read up on the knox system change detect-o-matic before trying to uninstall it... Do it right and you'll be a champ!
But... if you automate it for everyone with a small program and you'll reach 'Hero' status for sure!
Oh yeah.... That Note4 was running Lollipop 5.1.0 (or 5.0.1?... I didn't pay much attention)
Hope that helps
<8^)
P.S. Sorry if I posted incorrectly ... I'll get it right one of these days!
Has anyone tried to root the new G4 with the KingRoot application?
Yep
Thanks.. And what does "submit" means?
Think it sends your device information
Might want to change your thread title, you're making it look like KingRoot is a solution.
This isnt really root though. What it does is that it copies whole system and replicates it with one of root. Most of the time it doesnt stick after a reboot.
Chinese are replicating android ime numbers to make fake mkdels with good numbers

As others have stated, this method does not work on the G4 (but works on other new devices, so it leads me to believe it is something LG did and not something in Android L blocking it).
and yes, this title is VERY misleading, might want to throw a "Is it possible to" or " can you" at the start of the title......just sayin'
Getting anxious, I just tried the newest version ( 4.1.0.703) but it didn't work.
I've successfully rooted my G4 H818N using QueenRoot. Has anyone tried it yet?

And, you'll never. It's almost everyday, we are getting posts on KingRoot and OneClickRoot, so i thought to make some variation to almost bored life on G4, waiting root.
I tried 17 click root. No dice.

LG G3 Marshmallow and install Kingroot
This should work on G4 as well
I successfully rooted my LG G3 with Marshmallow build all from the phone. (Not Rooted)
After Downloading the Kingroot APK file I tried numerous Apps to try and run it and all failed.
Install Total Commander onto your LG G3 from the Google play store.
Install Astro onto your LG G3 from the Google play store.
Run total Commander and navigate to downloads.
Hold your Finger down on the on the Kingroot apk file and hit open with when the screen list pops up
Select the Astro app.(App Info)
Then Install the app at the bottom and follow the rest of the KingRoot instructions.
No Hassle and took 2 min

Hi guys. Is there unbranded firmware for the a505u? I bought a Verizon variant and unlocked it, but I can't figure out how to get all the crappy Verizon stuff off.

I have the same variant but with Comcast mobile and used ADB and an app called app inspector. You need a PC to use ADB. App inspector tells you the name of the system name of the app then you can uninstall it. Search for removing apps with ADB. I removed all Google stuff and apps I didn't want. I'm not rooted and my A50 works fine. I do have issues with Samsung browser changing my home page to Google default but it did that from day 1. How this helps if you want to private message me I'll help you further.
