Sooo, pretty self explanitory, I rooted my Galaxy S4, got some OTA update, which unrooted me. I tried to do the Motochopper method again by downgrading my build number but now ODEN won't do it. My current build number is JDQ39.I545VRUAME7. ROM manager still thinks CWM is installed but I can't boot into it. Any tips on what I should do?
Wait until you are able to fully root again.

My SGH-I337 (ATT GS4) has been rooted for a month or two now but lately it's been having issues so I tried to restore it to stock. But, I manually removed the root via SuperSU so I would be able to update to 4.4 (I've been stuck on 4.2.2 because I was never notified 4.3 came out). Every time I update OTA it fails at 25%, so I tried via Kies. My firmware isn't even supported to update like that. I tried unrooting with Odin but that also didn't work. I've restored it to factory settings now, but the boot image still says custom and I can't use Yellow Triangle because that doesn't support locked AT&T basebands (which I read is unfixable). Is there ANY way I can fix this and get 4.4????
TL;DR
My phone is too rooted to OTA update but not rooted enough for Odin to work and I want KitKat

Hi guys,
I rooted my phone a month ago using Kingo Root, it works fine. So I un-rooted now and restarted the phone and it says "custom" when I go to Settings - Status, etc.. I factory reset the phone and it still says custom! weird.
I don't know why this is happening, when I had an S4 and used Kingo Root to root it says custom but upon un-rooting the phone returned to Normal.
Does anyone have a stock recovery img to flash? or a way to solve this? I would like to be able to check for updates.
I have the C101 International version.
Thanks
Have you tried installing a stock ROM with Odin software? It should resolve the problem! have you tried it?
So I Tried to root my newly acquired I717, using this method
"How To: Root AT&T Galaxy Note i717 Jelly Bean 4.1.2 " on You Tube by mooneyb123
I tried on my macbook but I wouldn't recognize the note in Jodin. So I used my Fiances pc.
I had to install keis as the video did not mention that., But it did instal TWRP, which is awesome, But when I tried to instal the CWM-SuperuserSU-v0.94 file nothing happens, it appears to work fine and says successful but when I reboot and check for Root its not rooted.
I've tried this 4 times now.
I don't know what to do next
I want to root to get rid of the ATT bloatware, and possibly overclock. I might try a stable rom like padawan later but I mainly just want to root. Is their any way to do it with TWRP? or am I going to have to go another route?
Also can I odin CWM on or do I need to wipe the device to factory first. The main thing is I don't want to brick it as I am using the phone daily.
I tried what I thought would be the "easiest" looking way to root, but since it didn't work, I need some advice.
How do i get it back to stock recovery If its not rootable? I am running 4.1.2.
I did upgrade soon after I got the device but am wondering If I could have rooted it easier on the original version of android.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
is their any way I can do it with
i have a SCH I545 (verizon s4) and i am currently running kit kat 4.4.2 version vrufnk4 with kernal version 3.4.0. I was once rooted but i am no longer rooted and as far as i know everything is stock except the recovery which seems to be different than what i remember was on the phone from factory. The phone also boots with a logo saying custom with an unlocked pad lock. The recovery says android system recovery <3e> at the top and in the middle is an android dude with a red triangle on him and under him it says no command . I had cwm recovery on the device when i was rooting it but don't remember if i got rid of it or left it but i don't believe this is cwm recovery or the factory recovery. But here is my issue, i wanted to update to the new lollipop via the OTA update verizon has issued for my phone and the update came in 2 parts the first part upgraded kit kat to vrufnk4 and the 2nd update was suppose to be the actual lollipop update. The first update to vrufnk4 did fine but when i try the 2nd update to lollipop GOC1 i believe is what it is the instal fails every time. I did try a factory reset via the boot recovery but that did not help.
Thanks for any help you can give me I'm so lost as to what to do to fix this and i just want lollipop on my phone for now possibly root the phone later if i get bored until i can get a s6 edge.
Did you ever get an exact answer? I'm in the exact same situation and don't want to brick my phone. Thanks... back to searching.
I figured it out l. When you plug you phone into your computer there is a Verizon update that pops up you will need to update your phone using that and it will work like a charm. But it's like Verizon updater or something I can't remember but it pops up when you plug your phone in or it did for me. Hope that helps!
[Q] Is there root process for I337UCUFNJ5?
Hello,
Recently there was a firmware OTA sent out from ATT for the Galaxy S4 SGH-I337.
Prior to this I rooted the phone using towelroot.
Of course after the update I lost my root and now I want to root it again!
Will I have to reflash an older firmware (NJ4) or does anyone know of a process to root this current firmware NJ5?
I took the update also. Lost root. I then used Odin to flash the I337_NC1_Stock_Kernel. Have Towel root v3 on phone before flashing since I lost wifi and data after the flash. Run towelroot and its rooted. Then odin I337_NJ4_Stock_Kernel on. Its rooted. Use Titanium to stop update of NJ5. Until someone figures out how....
