So, like many of you I have the me 7 out update and have performed the SD card root method. Now what? I want to use Titanium Backup to start uninstalling the bloatware but I'm not sure which apps I can safely remove without causing issues.
Beyond this, what else can I do with my rooted/ME7 SGS4? What are the best apps for root only?

Personally, I would just freeze. It looks like we're in the long haul for recovery/bootloader. There's a chance that the next hack might not be available until the next update.
Honestly there probably will not be any bootloader unlock for the Verizon S4. Its just been blocked down so tight that its very highly unlikely you're going to get more than root. Maybe recovery but that is a long shot.
And its not about the time involved to find a line of code or some loophole. Its how they have learned from the past. The last few phones only got unlocked because of leaks. Without the leaks they would still be locked to this day. That alone says a lot.

Do a search. It has its own thread all about it. Its in the Dev section.
Since your new I'll link it. But please just do a quick look around first. You'll learn more that way.

I just "updated" my Galaxy Note by using Odin to install the new leak 4.0.4 and was wondering if somebody could point me in the best direction for rooting my device. Not a "noob" but I'm new to Samsung in general. I don't want to brick my device or possibly mess it up in any way. Also I would like to be able to install further releases of leaked roms and root again. Any advice and information would be helpful. Thank you

You are respectfully asked to read the stickies that answer your dumb question
as far as i know you need to flash clockworkrecovery odin version, after that you can use cwm to flash superuser file that will give you root. read "official" leak thread, it has been covered few times.
Thank you. Figured that would be the response lol I'll do that

Everything begins with ODIN. Flash Leak thru ODIN then flash CWM recovery thru ODIN. Then download the SU 307.zip and flash thru CWM. That is all you need to do to root your phone. You should be able to do everything in less than 15-20mins.

I could certainty appreciate your standpoint if say, I bricked my device trying to root it.
Considering the power button broke (and my phone has NEVER been dropped) I dont think it's fair that they refuse to fix a hardware problem because I used my device as it was built to be used.

Has anyone actually got a way to put a custom recovery onto the i605 verizon Samsung Galaxy note 2 yet? I Have looked and looked all over for a way to get it on my note 2 but every attempt had failed with the yellow triangle. I Have bought the app, triangle away, but it doesn't seem to work on the Verizon i605 note 2. So Please if anyone can help me figure this out, I would be very grateful for your help. Thank you.

You have to use adam's unlock and root method first as linked in the above post. That procedure will leave you with TWRP custom recovery on the phone.
Good luck

Yes, and don't forget to upgrade to the latest TWRP after install. You can do this using GooManager from the Play Store. :good:

Sometimes folks do not have enough current knowledge about a given subject to find the info needed. Glad you got what you needed!!
I did look, but unfortunately it was in the wrong place. When I first got onto this forum I looked in the area that did not have anything about rooting or recovery. So please before you go being all honesty as you put it. Understand that for someone who may not be as smart as yourself. It may be really easy to get turned around in here. And if I'm not mistaken. Isn't this place where people come to get help? Not sarcasm? I'm sorry if my question makes you mad or upset you because I couldn't find the answer without having to ask for help. It makes me wonder how many people got mad at you for the questions that you have asked. Anyway, to those of you that I have not upset, thank you for your help and support... As I am still learning the ways of forums.

I got the DNA about a month ago but when getting it Verizon did the update for me.. while "showing me the ropes".. even though I easily know more, but anyhow I'm stick with it. But it seems like I have to unlock the bootloader to get the recovery to root to flash Rom. But I'm unsuccessful even getting the bootloader unlocked for this ota for this phone. Is someone working on this or maybe I'm missing the current fourm? Thanks for any direction but I'd like to sometime test ubuntu on this quad core beast .. and get the bloatware off of it!

The answer is no.
Wrong section. Doesn't belong in development .
Have you read any of the threads in the DNA general or q&a sections?

For the 1000th time, no, unless you want to send your phone off to be jtagged you cannot unlock/soff/root your phone.

I know its in the frequent questions stickie.. but this needs its own ...
for the love of gawd.
This is a bit of a lazy post, I realize...I just don't want to sift through all the dev threads . Does anyone know if any ROMs out there have the new features from the OTA update going, in a way that maintains the unlocked bootloader? Thanks in advance...!
Don't know why folks are so fixated on the extremely limited apps2sd "feature." It does not save any appreciable space. You are far better off using a third party app to move the data.

+1 Unless the ME7 radios are substantially better I see no reason to go after it. Those of us with the 16GB phone have to suffer for now. My speculation is that VZW baited us with the App2SD feature so they could shut down our root / custom Rom experience. It's rather ironic though that 1% of their customer base (Us) can generate this much angst from Big Red.

I'm actually quite annoyed about the latest update. Knox is not something I want or need (didn't take the update, using clean rom). I OWN my phone. I don't NEED it for work. I do not require extra security for corporate stuff and therefore am annoyed that this is a forced option. If Samsung wants to enter this arena fine by me, but the consumer needs the choice, not a bait and switch update.
As far as any roms? Not any useable that I'm aware of unless you don't use wifi or the camera. The rooted rom made by beans didn't have working wifi or camera without the secure boatloader, and then his phone was bricked. So until a workaround for the boatloader is found, you won't see any I believe. Check out the Bounty and add to it. As they say, money talks. It has been hinted that root probably has been obtained already but without the ability for custom recovery, it's not really useful to the development community. Patience and time. The S4 is a new phone so people will work on it, but add to the bounty to "entice" those with the skills to put there precious time into helping us out.
