If I root with Bump (and DON'T install a custom recovery) will I be able to receive stock updates from Sprint/LG? I ask because I want to do a few tweaks with xposed but I don't want to deal with waiting around for a ROM from the devs. The stock ROM, in my opinion, is great.
Root using stump. Then I think if you get an update you may need to uninstall root and xposed before trying to install it.

Right, Stump, not bump, sorry. How would I go about uninstalling root, when the time comes?
I used to use the supersu app and say unroot. It's worked for me on other phones but don't know for sure if it will work on this one.

Hi everyone, I'm finally about to OTA my verizon s4. I'm going to use voodoo to protect the root. I'm a little concerned about what voodoo is showing me, before I do the update. I have super su installed and not the other Superuser app and it gives me a link for the superuser one.
Please everyone let me know if it's safe to proceed and that I don't need to also install that other Superuser app, which I don't like. Screenshot attached, thank you in advance!

Me7 is rootable so even if you lose root you can get it back.
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.
True, I just hate to go thru the trouble if I don't have to. I only have access to a work pc so its kind of a pain.
Im real good with tech but can't afford problems with this phone and yes im a little paranoid lol
Don't do it bro! If your own MDK your golden
Keep MDK. It has the most ROM friendly bootloader.

Im on mdk but I have no interest in loading different roms or anything so I really don't care about the bootloader. If I had a second phone then hell yeah I would go crazy but this is my daily driver and I can't screw with it. Besides, I actually like the stock rom. I just need root because I can't stand the limitation not being rooted.
So aside from my concern about the Play Store link in voodoo, will I have to also temporarily unroot after I protect root?

Totally understandable but root and flash a custom recovery. You may change your mind later and it'll be too late to do anything about it. There's a stock rooted ME7 in the dev section so you'd get the stadibility of stock, root and a bootloader you can manipulate if you ever choose to.
I've never been fond of flashing especially when I have no backup cell phone and I've already tweaked this phone to my liking. I honestly will never want to flash this phone... as dumb as that sounds

Fair enough. In that case, forgo OTArootkeeper/voodoo/whatever, accept the ME7 update and root it via the method in the Dev section. DISCLAIMER!! By doing this, you waive all rights to whine about your bootloader in the future

I hear ya. I guess ill just try voodoo and update just for ****s n giggles and reroot if I have to. Is that reroot forum clearly titled or if not, do you have its link?
While im at it, will the xposed framework still work after ota or any concerns?
Any response to the above? Also, is it a prerequisite to unfreeze apps?
Thanks in advance.

Yes. Don't take the OTA. I know you said you have no interest in flashing roms, but why limit your options now when you don't know what the future will bring. Plus even if you do take the ota and gain root, you cannot mess with the kernel. If it was me, I would just download the stock root deodexed version of me7.
Hi!!
Only reason I have right now to root is to uninstall these stock apps my phone came with. Is there anyway to do it without a root? Or do I need to root it?? I'm currently on MI1..if I do need a root which one is a good tut to follow. Is it better to update fully to MJ7 then root? Just trying to see what's best.
Let me know
Thank you!

I believe that there is root method for MI1 but not a safe one for MJ7 so I would not update.

I knew better. Got an MDK device, rooted it immediately and have been running CM ever since. [emoji41]
If you guys are talking about Knox 2.0...get used to it. Knox is being incorporated by Google in Android "L".
Remember, with all the hackers out there, the average Joe and Joan want their privacy secured...all the banking that is done from the phones now?
And also Verizon is the largest carrier for military and commercial contracts...to keep them and get more the phones have to be as secure as possible.
Anyone try to see if Towelroot works with this build?
I think they need to find another root method. Towelroot only works on kernels june 3 and below. I have no idea if it will work if you used it
I'm not upgrading. All flashaholics like me will DEFINITELY just wait for a possible exploit for NC5 than hope for the almost nonexistent chance there will be an unlock in the new firmware. Just my $0.02

We have been able to use towelroot on the latest updates for the att S4, S5, and Vz S5 by flashing back the previous kernel, rooting, then reflashing the new unexploitable kernel. Vz S4 users will likely be able to do the same on NG6.

Towelroot is guaranteed not to work. A better option is to grab the update from your cache/fota folder and post so that we can make a workaround to keep root.
Yep id give it to muniz.
Theres no way im going through the drama we had last time.

Lol, I remember and don't blame you at all.
It's confirmed that towelroot doesn't work. The version is still 4.4.2. The first thing I noticed was the GPS toggle in the notification area is now a Location toggle.
Any method of rooting?
Now that Towelroot is out, is there any way of rooting on the latest version? Downgrading, flashing an image in Odin, etc? Or are we pretty much screwed until a work around is found?

There is a very good chance that the kernel swap method will work on this latest build.
Someone just needs to grab the ota from their device. We'll take the kernel from the new update and package it into an Odin flashable .tar. You'll then flash the old NC5 kernel after taking the update, re-boot and root using towelroot, then reflash the new kernel. No guarantees but this method has been working on all of the latest Sammy updates.

I could give you guys the OTA if you tell me how to do it. I'm by no means an expert at rooting, but I've had a few years experience. So basically you'll modify the new kernel to allow downgrading to NC5, root, then update again? I had Towelroot before I updated, had OTA survival mode enabled in SuperSU, and had it installed as a system app, but I still lost root on this latest update. :crying:

it'll probably be your only method. the Chinese seem to be taking over these root and jailbreak exploits. over on iOS, TaiG is the only group who has a jailbreak for the newest versions of that. and kingroot seems to be getting a similar status for people who want one-click root exploits.
keep in mind, root is a dangerous thing and it seriously harms the security of your device. you may not trust the Chinese, but they've probably been doing this all along.
good news though, you can replace the kinguser stuff with SuperSU somehow. don't ask me, I'm still running KitKat

I might be wrong but my understanding is that currently you can not install install any custom ROM on OC1, so why rush to root?
Any reason besides ability to uninstall some apps?

Apparently you can flash Stang5litre ROM on OTA 5.01 using Flashfire. I haven't tried it myself but if you go to the last couple of pages on the Stang5litre topic you will see post from those who were successful in flashing it on OC1.
i tried to use the safestrap method and bricked my phone but samsmobile and odin saved my life again, but I know I can root the ota, but what really can we do with it? is it possible it install xposed or can we do anything with it other then getting rom toolbox??? im just curious and I don't want to go exploring and do more damage I was lucky I saved my phone this time.......
Hello again!
i flashed xposed successfully on stang5litre's oc1 5.0.1 lollipop rom. I don't know about stock though, i believe your rom has to be deodexed. :good:
Well now I got my phone working there is no way I can down grade or get a recovery and flash roms or get a dexoted rom or anything. ?? I only went back to Android from apple for the roms. Time for an upgrade already

To install stang5litre's rom you don't have to downgrade anything or install a custom recovery. All you have to do is install the app called FlashFire. google how to do it or on xda
