Thank you Korado for answer.
Yes ,I know after the latest update this method is doesnt work,but we have one solution.
If you are still using Official JB 4.2.2 XXUAMFB Firmware first download from PlayStore Voodoo OTA rootkeeper.
Link:https://play.google.com/store/search?q=voodoo%20ota%20rootkeeper&hl=tr
After installing Voodoo apk open it and press PROTECT ROOT buton.Now you can update your device via OTA.
After update your device open Voodoo root keeper app. and press RESTORE ROOT buton.You will see the root is come back.
But If these procedures before you update,my advice is flash Official JB 4.2.2 XXUAMFB Firmware via odin and do the above procedures from the beginning.
NOTE:I dont try update via KİES .

This didn't work for my LTE model. Instead I downloaded the program which rooted in one click. It won't let me post a link as I'm new but head to mgyun dot com slash vroot
It's in Chinese which I don't understand but I plugged in the phone, clicked the green button and it rooted it, then I just installed Super SU from Play Store and all is good

I'm rooted using latest chainfire 6.2. How can I get this installed . Do I have to unroot
Giving it some beans on my blue s3
As your screen shot says, use Kies!
Yes I know that . But why will it not work ota . Is it because I'm rooted

So the same thing just happened to me. How did you end up updating? With kies?
Anyone have any idea why it would fail ota? Mine is also rooted.
Have the same problem with the OTA, Spain, unbranded. I can't even flash it through CF-CWM.
Will have to wait until my wife comes with her computer, mine can't run Kies.
I just updated mine via Kies. It was rooted (stock rom)
Now its not rooted anymore, so i have to root it again.
/Pete
Yea I just updated via Kies as well, worked fine, except it failed downloading the update a few times, so i tried on a different laptop, and it was all good.
What version was the 3 UK update?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Could the problem be that I integrated system app updates in the /system? Or it's just that it's rooted?
me too. i'm getting failed OTA updates. the OTA update should be working will with chainfire 6.3 right? any help guys?
Had the same. Updated through Kies but lost root. Think it knows the system is modified so won't work ota.
To all with problems: OTA won't work with rooted devices!! Use Kies. And yes, you will lose root, but thanks to Chainfire that's very easy to restore...
My guess is that the failed OTAs have got to do with the custom recovery, that's why Kies works.
OTA does not work with custom recoveries like cwm.
What you need to do is let it download, move it out of /cache/fota/ to your sdcard, then update via cwm as you would with a custom rom. You will then need to reroot your device.

SGS3(rooted) can't update firmware via OTA(even Kies )it will stop on CWM
This what I did successfully
1.up firmware(use Odin) to CF-Root v6.3(that will have CWM 5.5 ver. 1.5)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
2.Then update firmware via OTA (settings>About device>Software update)check your firmware version in About device it should be new samsung firmware and that you will unroot you phone too
3.Re-root step 1 again if you want to root
Finally, I have successfully updated my stock rooted SGS3. Here's what I've done (upon my discovery)
1. For all the changes you've made on the root folder (/ or /system), make sure to put everything back to its normal state as the OTA looks up for signed apps/modified apps on those folders before updating. In my case, I had to remove the hyperx camera mod and make it to stock again as well as deleting unnecessary files like build.prop.bak that I've made. Just make everything SAME as the stock and everything will work as normal.
2. Make sure you're using CFRoot 6.3
3. After OTA update, you will surely lose your root. Just flash CFroot once again.
I have done all u say, but it will not let me update, keeps saying use kies but kies dont work for me keeps hanging after it says update firmware.

Description: This is a simple guide that will allow you to easily root your Verizon Galaxy S4 device without having to wipe your device or flash a full prerooted factory image. This method works using a leaked prerelease kernel (provided by user sextape) and root method (provided by user djrbliss). Only change is I have modified the Motochopper root method to use the latest SuperSU instead.
Video Demo of the Full Process (Courtesy of DroidModd3rX)

***WARNING: DOES NOT WORK ON THE VRUAME7 BUILD***
If you have already updated to VRUAME7 BUILD please see link below for the NEW root method

Step 1 - Preparation
Download and Install Samsung Official USB Drivers - Link
Download and extract ODIN v3.07 - Link
Download the VRUAMD2 Prerelease Kernel - Link
Download the Stock VRUAMDK Kernel for your phone - Link
Download and extract the Motochopper Root Exploit Tool - Link
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 2 - Flashing VRUAMD2 Prerelease Kernel to remove Root block
Boot phone into ODIN mode (See here for how-to)
Flash the VRUAMD2 Prerelease Kernel using ODIN v3.07 ***in PDA section only*** (See here for guide on flashing)
Boot back to Android and verifying everything is still working and kernel has flashed successfully
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 3 - Rooting Your Device
Go into Settings > More > About phone > tap "Build number" about 7 times until it unlocks Developer options
Verify in Developer options setting on your device that you have "USB debugging" checked
Verify in Developer options setting on your device that you have "Verify apps via USB" unchecked
Verify in Security setting on your device that you have "Unknown sources" checked
Verify in Security setting on your device that you have "Verify apps" unchecked
Connect your phone to your computer and open "Run.bat" file from the location you have extracted motochopper to
You will see a message on the phone asking you to accept the new computer connection (select to always allow and select OK)
After motochopper runs and your phone reboots on its own, check if SuperSU has any update in the Play Store
Open SuperSU app and let the binary update itself to the latest ***VERY IMPORTANT OR YOU WILL LOSE ROOT ON STEP 4***
Once complete, just open a root application and verify that is able to access root properly
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 4 - Restoring Stock Kernel
Boot phone into ODIN mode (See here for how-to)
Flash the Stock VRUAMDK Kernel using ODIN v3.07 ***in PDA section only*** (See here for guide on flashing)
Boot back to Android and verifying everything is still working and kernel has flashed successfully
After your phone boots back to Android, you should now be fully rooted and on the fully stock original firmware that came on your device

The motochopper link triggered mine. Followed the instructions and I had to run the motochopper run.bat twice, first time it installed Superuser.apk but it wasn't rooted. Second time everything worked perfectly, I am now rooted. Thanks!

Edit: Every reboot now, I get this notification "Detection information: The device has detected an application attempting unpermitted actions. To protect your devices, it is recommended you reboot". See attached screenshot. I can clear the notification without any issues, seemingly.
sweet. will give it a whirl once i get off work!
This worked for me this afternoon. As I mentioned in other threads if you're getting stuck at boot.img in Odin try using a USB port on the back of your PC. That was what did it for me (to get the kernel installed.) I did everything else from the back USB port as well and it went great.

I've found this to be true for many different phones. I ALWAYS use the back USB port!

I know I have read somewhere about the "Boot unlock- Custom" message that appears when you boot the phone, could somebody point me in the right direction on how to fix this please? (Running stock softwear, no ROM yet)
Also, how would I go about switching the Superuser app to SuperSU? (I have the paid SuperSU I use from my tablet and want to use it with my new S4)- NVM- Chainfire made it all to easy for beginners like myself. SuperSU will overwrite and remove superuser automaticly for anybody else with this!

I can confirm that freezing SEAndroid 1.0 removes the warning instantly
Install SuperSU and update the binaries. Then uninstall superuser and reboot the phone 2 times and the unlock icon will be gone. Good luck.

For now it's not required, I'm going to do a lot of testing tonight and if restoring the VRUAMDK kernel still works with latest SuperSU I may just update both at once.
It worked for me. This was posted somewhere in the AT&T S4 section.
Thanks I'll be trying this as soon as I get my hands on a S4 (soon).

We need an unlocked bootloader to get a working recovery right? Would it be semi safe to assume we can follow some of the other models (i9505, AT&T etc..,) "de-bloat" threads to de-bloat ours?
are there any risks with this method, i.e., not being able to receive OTA? can we easily de-root and restore root?

I was actually hoping to block OTAs until the bootloader unlock is released...then custom forevermore!
this needs to be pinned the other needs to be deleted !! i stay we stick with the guy who made all the s3 guides and he did them perfect.. and that is my buddy @open1your1eyes0 be back in about an hour missed fedex today now i gotta goto the warehouse to get my s4
jeez... that was too f'in ez
Do we have a list of what's safe to remove yet (before we get custom Roms) ?
Hello there ..
I need only root to remove bloatwares and xposed modules and so on
I searched here and found this post and it roots and installed CWM but through flashing custom kernel and your phone warranty is voided ..
So I searched the internet and found an app called kingo android root which managed to root my device with one click :laugh:

Yes, it can. For testing sake using Kingo Root I have first Unrooted my I9205 and then re-Rooted it without any problems.
Unrooting takes about 5 minuts, rooting was very fast. Root Checker says, so device is rooted, although I can not find SuperSU which was previously installed.
Custom Recovery (TWRP) stays and two red lines during booting to recovery stays also. I do not know how it will be when one root fresh Mega using Kingo Root. Some say there is not any red lines then.
Root SGH-1527M
Tried the Klingo Root program. Root failed. Reinstalled and tried again. Root failed. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated
I was wondering when these questions were going to be ask...Ok here we go...If you did the OTA update...It installed Knox for starters..Ok root with Kingo..It will reboot...When you look for Super User you're correct it won't be there..Why you ask?Because with the OTA the binary is totally different..But it's a simple fix...Once you root with Kingo reboot and go in to the play store....Type in SU in the search..You will see it pop up with the blue Android icon...Download it..and let it install..It will then ask if you want to update the binary..Choose yes..exit out...Reboot once more...Now you will see the SU icon...Now click on it...and it will ask if you want to disable Knox..Choose yes...Exit you're done..Enjoy...

3- connect your mobile phone
4- click root

But it's not app's fault - every attempt to root in any manner makes warranty void... it's Samsung's 'fault'

sry for my bad English. hope u guys can understand and make your device rooted
I try its on my xperia c4 E5333, and some people try its on their xperia c5 and its works too.
First upgrade your device to android 5.1, dont turn on usb debugging. if its on, turn it off

So u your device get root now . So easy

after that, if you want to change kingroot to super su, u can folowing this:
download this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3333295&d=1432683529 and extract to internal sdcard
install app "Terminal Emulator" from ch play. open it and type "su" for root permission, then type "sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh", wait...
Reboot your phone, and finaly your phone get root with supersu.
So its a way to root Xperia C4/C5. Can anyone make recovery for C4/C5. Tks alots

It's Work my E5333 rooted.
I was able to root my E5506 (Wind Mobile) with or without USB debugging on. I tried both ways and it works using the latest Kingroot 4.8 app. It might reboot in the middle of rooting but just continue after the phone reboots. if it fails just try to root it again and it should work after a few tries.
I managed to install Titanium Backup Pro, Busy Box without any issues.
Note: If your Titanium Backup won't allow you to backup in your sd card, just download the app in the play store called SDfix. This app should fix your sd issues in TB. [emoji4]
If you flash a firmware using flashtool you will lose root so you'll have to re-root.
Nice, I'll try to change the root manager to SuperSU. Thanks for the info!
let me know if you manage to make it work. I tried to switch to super su but I keep getting error on su binary when it tries to update
OK Root C4
In my C4 I run until the fifth attempt. Xperia c4 5306
Fine...
After rooting can i use flashify to flash custon recovery? There's a custom recovery for C5 ultra by Bigrammy.
if your bootloader is unlocked you probably can install a custom recovery. my phone's bootloader is still locked just was able to get root access.

Doesn't biggrammy's custom recovery method address' this fact? It may show as "secure = yes" but recovery can still be flashed.
Quote:
following info from Sony my phone stated “NO” and as you can see the bootloader info said secure = yes but been a I went ahead anyway and here is the weird and lucky for us thing.
After I unlocked it I got (bootloader) secure = NO from fastboot but the System software still reported Bootloader unlock allowed = No
Nothing tripped no warranty warnings nothing it’s like the system never even knew sweet.

Success changing KingRoot to SuperSU!
Just follow the rules precisely as are mentioned in the following post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/replace-kingroot-superuser-guide-t3251013
Oh yeah! Confirmed Kingroot to SuperSU is a success here too! Thank you pablo_xperia for sharing that link [emoji4]
I don't know why it didn't work for me the first time I rooted my phone but this time definitely worked like a charm.

Yes I understand that bigrammy did mention in his thread that some may show "secure=yes" but recovery can still be flashed. I am just worried about mine being a carrier bought phone not being able to flash the fotakernel. I don't want to screw up my phone just yet. Right now i'm fine with being rooted and have superSU installed.

You have to install supersu and terminal. Put wrm dir into phone storage
Follow the commands,
Su
/Sdcard/wrm/root.sh
When it completes, go launch supersu and update binary.
Then reboot
Hello everyone. This is my first tutorial with Gear S so I hope it will help someone.
First of all
I am not responsible for any damage done to you deviceI saw in this Tutorial thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s/development/definitive-guide-to-rooting-gear-s-t2973455, that some people have unsupported firmware versions and they can't root they'r device. It is not true. You can root your device, if you will follow this simple guide.
What do you need:
1) Gear S
2) Charging cradle with USB cable
3) PC running Windows (because windows is only OS I know XD)
4) Odin 3.09: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4xXHWEm81OleU0wckt0S2pjSU0
5) supported firmware downloaded from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-R750/ (it is just on you which one do you pick, but it must be supported in the root thread)
6) Drivers: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4xXHWEm81OlT1ZBeXdHYXZqQTA
If you have everything downloaded you can proceed to the tutorial it selfStep by step firmware changing guide:
1) Unzip downloaded software and install drivers
- you should end with one .MD5 file and one .dll file (I am not sure, if the .dll is needed)
2) Open Odin 3.09

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Here you have to Tick AP, click on AP and select your .MD5 file
-you should start to see something like this (wait until it says leave CS..)
- you can continue if you see this
3)Untick Auto reboot
4) Enable USB-Debugging on Gear S
- Settings -> Gear Info -> USB Debugging
5) Put your gear S into download mode
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qwcf79m9ycw
- credits go to cipherswitch
6) Connect your gear S to PC
- you should see this
7) Click start and wait till it is done
- when it is done you will see this
8)Wait till Gear S reboot
- Now just look at the firmware page and there should be new software version
If you have an error
-repeat everything but with different firmware version
P.S.: Sorry if you can't see pictures, so if you have problem just look into attachment they are listed here

I downloaded the exact same one from sammobile then I flashed the AOA7 root file from the root thread and it works fine. The software version will still be AOA7 but I think the baseband will be APC1 but mine is working flawlessly. Also you could still flash stock AOA7 first then root but theres no need as I've tested it.

because my gear was from KTC carrier, so i am afriad to tried other room to lock sim.? if u know how i can root that, plz help me.
as long as i know, changing stock rom does not affect carrier, but if u are scared, dont try it (i would try it for sure), because u can go totally back by flashing your stock rom.

Sorry, sounds right...can't remember the steps off hand.
Inside the .tar is an image file, might need to be unpacked, sorry just don't remember the steps.
Just follow the guide and use this file.
Best of luck.

I'll rack my brain to try to remember....but from what i do remember it wasn't like root for a phone.....no su app (tizen os) ...just able to execute admin commands via adb.
If you were to load android os well then su will probably be available.
I'll look back through my files, looking for any guides when i get a chance.
