Is my bootloader locked? I tried installing ClockWork and TWRP Through Rom Manger and GooManager, both say they are successful but when I restart into recovery via an app or manually it goes into ODIN Mode or Stock Recovery? What am I missing here? Any help gratefully appreciated !
Only mdk can install a custom recovery. Not to be rude, but a lil reading would of went a long way. All you can do is root and k stall safestrap

No, you can't install a custom recovery. The bootloader is locked.
I suggest you read the following

Yes, and it wasn't really make clear what works with MK2, but now after reading more I see I need SS. I Have 3.70 Installed. Now I am having trouble finding any KitKat Roms that work with SafeStrap and MK2? Is there a list somewhere?

Thx, I actually found that not long after my post. Now it seems there are no 4.4 roms compatible with ss 3.70 and mk2? Hyperdrive seems nice but it's Jellybean.

Yeah as long as its a zip file. Tar will be flashed through Odin. Img through adb. Backups don't translate well between some recoveries though, just a heads up.

So, I am like many of the other noobs in here who tried to install TWRP through goomanager. I realize that this is not possible, and am paying for my actions. I have read on many threads like this one that by flashing the stock ME7 recovery onto the phone through odin I can get my phone up and running again. Only issue is that I cannot manage to find the stock recovery for ME7 to save my own life (or the life of my phone coincidentally). Could anyone help me by posting a link to the download? I certainly don't mind being marked an idiot if it helps me out or other people who do the same exact thing.
Thanks in advance guys.
Wait, are you on mdk or me7?

I am on ME7
Edit: I have looked up and down XDA for an ME7 stock recovery but I still can't find it. I have found multiple threads alluding to such a thing on the dev forum, however I still can't find it
This thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259
There is a download link.
Flash using Odin.

Thank you very much. Once again, to flash it, just open odin, click PDA (after connecting the device), select the downloaded file, then click start?

Hey guys,
I can't post this on the thread for the android development because I typically lurk and don't have enough posts, but I'm having trouble with the rom below.
KOT49H【4.4.2】AOSP Official Google Edition 【Verizon!】02-21-2014
I've used the Hyperdrive Rom on my VZW S4 and have not had problems with root. But after a full wipe and install of this Rom, I don't have root capabilities anymore. Titanium backup doesn't recognize root and neither do root checker apps.
Is anyone else having issues? The rom is supposed to come rooted according to the developer. How can I get root again?
Thanks.
What recovery are you using?

I'm using Clockwork Recovery. Just looked it up, V6.0.3.6. There is an update to 6.0.4.7, but I haven't installed yet.
I haven't had to touch it because the Hyperdrive Rom has been working fine.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I can't find a link anywhere that answers can I root my VZW S4 Kit Kat FNC5 can someone help me?

There is no root for the ota, nc5. There are already threads in the general section about this update that answers this question several times.

@HeyRobi: half True there's no native rooting or tethering yet (foxfi and custom roms work tho) but there's a thread under development section that can downgrade part of you and then root u then re upgrade u to custom rooted 4.4,2 not roms or there's nc5 prerooted roms to flash thru safestrap check out my thread if you have questions or concerns feel free to ask in the thread:fingers-crossed:

so I looked at your link and seems like some people are struggling so I haven't tried it yet. Are we any closer to a simple root. I don't necessarily need to install a recovery just want root. And by the way thanks for posting the link.

You may be out of luck.
The method is easy but it will wipe your phone.
There is a chance yo could be waiting for a looong time.
So if I'm OK with wiping it works. Everything will work?

Try towel root, it worked on my nc5, only problem is that the bootloader is locked so I cannot flash roms
Simply search "towelroot apk" and you should find a link to xda or to towelroot.com
