Saturday I got a Galaxy s4 on VRUAME7
I rooted it with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43994323
This morning I accidentally accepted a update that was pushed through (I thought my phone was going to brick) luckily it came back up and I am now on DMI1.
I verified that I have lost my root and now I just want root access back even if it's on 4.2.2 I don't care. Can anyone please advise me how to proceed? I just use root access for one purpose and just need root access for 1 program.
Given the history mentioned above does anyone know if this method will work for me to get my current firmware rooted?

Now unless you don't want to lose root again don't take the next update which should get a prompt for soon.

I was rooted on this Thunderbolt and went back to stock since the phone isn't really mine and I really didn't want to play the support role any longer. The owner of the phone now installed the latest Verizon update which is pretty good but the owners misses Wifi Tether so I agreed to re-root the phone. Everything is well until I try to do the "dd if=/data/local/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17" command in adb, the md5 checksum is an exact match but I get a permission denied error which I didn't get before.
Any idea how I can get around this? Thanks!
I had the same thing I'm not sure what was the Cuase but I did the 3 click root and worked for me hope that helps

Tell me about it!
I just used the root procedure in the development section. It worked fine. Sounds like superuser didn't take. Try again and make sure you do exactly what is written.
Man I looked everywhere could not find u anyway the file I have is big 1.5 gig I don't know a way to upload the files let me know if u know how or still needed

I was informed today that Verizon is pushing out the new Ota already. If you haven't gotten it you will soon. 2 questions....
1. Do we have to Odin back to stock to receive the update?
2. Will there have to be a new process to root after we accept the ota?
Should this have gone under the Q and A?

I think this has already been discussed. The nee ota is nothing more than the search feature dumbing down and a new baseband+kernel. I believe you can root this with the current method. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Why mess up your root? Just give it some time and the devs will probably have the update rooted and ready to flash with Odin !
Can anybody confirm that these will not auto-install?
On my HTC Incredible, I would just hit install later, but the popup would come back every 15 minutes.. very annoying!
Soon as the update comes out I will have a fully deodexed rooted zipaligned version available.
If I can figuire it out, I will also make an Odin image out of it.

No one does. But literally its as simple as putting the old search apk back into the new rom or ota. Nothing to be worried about

Double post please delete.
I love how Samsung and Verizon take so long to release updates - except when it's to take away the features on your phone. They get those out pretty quickly.
Does this OTA have any benefit??
Any way to block this ota? I have root access

I don't remember where I read this but you have to freeze FWUpdate.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
It's been pretty well established how to restore proper search functionality. The real question should be what do the kernel and radios do? Any improvements in reception or battery life? Any improvements in device performance? And most importantly, does this change anything regarding bootloader unlocking research and work-arounds?

Thanks, didn't even think to do that for some reason. I just froze FWUpgrade, SDM & VZWUpdate in Titanium Backup.. can anyone confirm if there's anything more that needs to be frozen?
Here 1. Don't accept it. 2. We can pull radio and kernel and install those.

Update should fail anyway if you don't have a stock recovery. They generally require a stock recovery to update the phone.

I consistently get -75 to -85 dbm so I really don't think there is a reception issue with the 4G radio for me. Now the WiFi is awful for me. That could be improved. GPS is sick.... I lock on in about half a second

I wouldn't think so. Otherwise, if it does when an ota comes around, try looking in the settings. I doubt it will warn you every hr though. Don't know and won't know soon unless verizon actually releases the ota on time

I went ahead and updated, I really need to Mobile Hotspot to work correctly, hopefully this will fix it...

I see the update on viperdna 1.1.2, rejected it. It comes back when pulsing again for new updates. Why defer over rejecting?
I have not been able to find a single post that definitively states this, but here's my experience:
Switched from Sprint to Verizon Friday the 15th, got a Droid DNA.
As I walked to my car, I saw it start an OTA update and didn't think anything of it.
Came here and researched root, etc.
Followed instructions in HTC DNA SuperCID thread, CID still = VZW_001
I guess if we have an new DNA running 2.04.605.2, we'll have to wait.
Thanks to all who do the hard work figuring this stuff out - I'll wait patiently with my fingers crossed.
Note: This is for DNA users who have successfully achieved superCID. If you have accepted the OTA without getting superCID FIRST, you’ll need to wait a little while longer, we have something in the works for you.....

I'd love to know as well. I did the OTA and have been pulling my hair out wondering if there is a lovely new method. I am also willing to donate to Jcase and other devs for all of their hard work. :fingers-crossed:

I was also wondering whether there is a workaround to return to stock prior to the OTA, and simply downgrade to the point where we can get the SuperCID working.....
Gonna give that a try.
