I upgraded to Hyperdrive using SS after having rooted with towelroot. The upgrade went fine but soon noticed that I did not have root. Tried towelroot again but it said my phone wasn't supported. Tried flashing supersu, tried saferoot and it came back with permission denied. I'm assuming that has something to do with SELinux and not setting permissive mode. Is there a way to do that manually since the SElinux APK doesn't seem to be working? Vrufnc2 is what the build number is showing. Looking for some ideas here to get root back while maintaining the current hyperdrive rom. Thanks!

Hello,
I was running Hyperdrive 17, with android 4.4.2 NC5 and everything was working perfect. I wanted to upgrade to Hyperdrive RLS 18 and when I formatted the system in Safestrap, it went straight into a bootloop. The only thing I can get into is Download mode. I have odin on my PC and it see's the phone. Could anybody please assist me in getting my phone to work again? I dont even care if I lose root or need to run stock, I just need my phone working ASAP. Thanks in advance!

You should not have formatted the system via Safestrap. Don't do that again. Only factory reset and advanced wipe everything but the internal SD card. These are the Odin files you need. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172
Try to be more careful in the future. You can Towelroot.com/SuperSU/Busybox/Safestrap to get back to rooted NC5 with Safestrap after you flash with Odin.
Jesus loves you!
Thank you so much for the response! I am back up and running. I rooted using installed.com and was able to install super user. I confirmed root access as well. However, safestrap will not install. It runs the process but remains at status: not installed. Any idea what could cause this? Also, do modules need to be reinstalled as well once I put hyper drive back on? Thanks again.

Did you get Busybox from the play store and after download go into Busybox and 'Install Busybox'? Also, if you wifi and data is all working correctly then there is no need for modules.

Yup, busybox installed successfully. Sorry, forgot to add that part.

That's never happened to me before. You could try uninstalling and reinstalling the Busybox app and after install go back into Busybox and 'Install Busybox' again. You could try a different Safestrap APK. Also, getting SELinux from the Play Store and setting it to 'permissive' might help. Just some ideas.

I followed the instructions of a number of videos and threads to properly achieve root and a recovery. After all that I can not get even one ROM to install. I have a Verizon S4 on NC5. Any ideas?

Towel Root or cf auto root to root. Safestrap is your only hope for a recovery right now.

I understand that part. My problem lies with the fact that not even the ROMs That are supposed to work with SS will not install. Tried Hyperdrive and it gets to about 30% and goes back to the main screen in SS. Was wondering if there were thoughts as to why this is happening or maybe what I can do to get it to work.

Need to look at which version of Safestrap you are using and are you installing into stock slot.
Problem solved. I thought I had SS 6.72 installed. Turns out it was 6.71. Switched that and it is working fine.
FYI. Under NC5, I was able to use the standard hotspot to tether by using Wanam Xposed's "Disable Tether Provisioning." That didn't work after an upgrade to NK1. But, the good news is that the X Tether Xposed module does seem to work fine.
(FoxFi didn't work under NK1, either)
so wait does nk1 use the same root method as was suggested for ng6? (use nc5 kernel, root, ng6 kernel, reboot)
Be nice if someone can make a zip to use the built in tether like nc5

I was able to Root using the steps in the link above, flashing down with Odin, towelroot, flash back up.
However, the .zip linked above did not work for me. It is saying "Footer is wrong, signature verification failed" to both things it is trying to install.
I am on NK1 (i545vruf-mk1) 4.4.2
Really, the only thing I want to do is get Tether up and running. Any help with that would be appreciated!

I used Odin to flash the firmware from NK1 down to NC1 (I think), to towelroot, than back up to NK1.
All that went fine, and root is working fine. I used no-bloat to remove a bunch of stuff and have used SuperManager and SQLite Editor to edit stuff that I would need Root to do. The phone is rooted, and I didn't use safestrap.
Do I need safestrap to load these .zip modifications for Wifi / Tether? Seems like they are supposed to load direct from recovery mode. Am I wrong?

Ok, I have never used SafeStrap, but I have it installed on my phone, and I have the .zip files still. Anyone have a guide thats a little more explicit than, "Now install it?"
EDIT:
NM, using XDA Modules, I grabbed X Tether and it works like a champ! Thank for the direction though!!!
Their is a way to enable the tether without safe strap but involves a lot more knowledge of unzipping and file permissions or you well end up with boot loop.
On my daughter's phone I just installed safe strap 3.72 installed the zip then uninstalled safe strap. Works great on hers and mine even adds the toggle you can turn it on and off.

Yes, it works fine. Just make sure to have a shortcut to towelroot on your home screen. With the nc5 kernel flashed it's only moments until reboot / lockup. But with the shortcut there I was able to root, reflash the nk1 kernel and update SUPERSU binary and all root apps are working fine.
A hack to get native tether going would be great. Let me know if anyone has a way to do this.
Thanks

I didn't test it to much since my goal was to get back down to kitkat I had enough of lolipop after 5.0.1 so when 5.1.1 hit I hit my breaking point with it.
When I flashed the MK2 loader + Modem than flashed custom recovery and than flashed the "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.37.zip" than flashed back to OD1 loader+Modem to boot back into 5.1.1 to backup some stuff Root seemed to be working. The SuperUser app didn't showup anywhere outside of the app manager but Titanium backup asked for root I granted it and it's root functions seemed to work perfectly.
Random glitch for me? Maybe, I thought about testing it out more but really I was in a rush to get back to KitKat. XD

Has anyone had any luck so far?
The update begins, the robot appears with the bar. The moment the bar begins to progress, my phone reboot back to 4.4.4 and tells me an error occurred. I have factory rreset and cleared cache but it still doesn't work.
What might be causing this?

As Giga says, you will still have traces of root on your phone. Flash a stock FTF first, then update.
