I am pretty green at rooting, did it on a droid pro and later droid razr. I recently purchased a used Verizon Galaxy S 4 and need root access with a wifi tethering option as I am still g'fathered on unlimited data on two phones. I have read the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/how-to-root-i545vrufnk1-4-4-2-12-1-2014-t2959613 and being a noobie I'm a bit overwhelmed with doing it. I will need to do a factory reset on the phone before I swap it to my account and assume I need to do that before I try rooting. A few questions I have are; 1. do I need the sim card installed before doing the root 2. Is odin v3.09 an app or a computer program 3. what kind of tethering options will i have (I currently run "android-wifi-tether" on my razr) Is there a better (easier, safer) way if I update to Lollipop 5.? or do I need to stay with the 4.2.2? I apologize for my ignorance.

I have been lurking this forum for about a month now and decided to post and get some help....
I have just a few questions
questions
If I use toolkit V4.0, does it come will all the files needed to flash/root my device?
If not what files do I need....and could someone link me please...
Do I lose my text/sms/contact data?
Is there a safe way of rooting without loosing all my data?
do I have to install the drivers that come with the toolkit for it to work? or can I just have the phones default drivers to let it work?

No you dont loose anything with rooting your device. Only when flashing a new custom rom
Use Odin to flash cf root

I just followed these steps:

Worked for the latest updates too.
Very easy to do and all files included.

Hello everyone,
I have a Samsung GT-S5820 China mobile made running android 2.3.6, before, I have successfully rooted this device, and days later I update its baseband to a higher version using Odin. And now try to root it again, but here's an error.

I check the root checker and it states only busybox has installed.
I've googled every way of rooting any android device but sadly nothings work.
the question is.. How can I wipe data/cache/ etc that native recovery mode can perform. Because according to some chinese website, this phone has no recovery mode as it is a customized model of samsung device.
or does anyone here knows how to solve this problem? I'd be so thankful if you can help me. Thanks
I actually have 2 things to ask about. Number One being priority!
1.
A few months ago I was screwing around with my Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50F, specifically with SuperSume trying to change king root's crappy "SuperSU" to SuperSU official when I must have bricked it. It wouldn't reboot, so I tried to hard reset. With no avail. It just got stuck a sliver through. Is there a way I could fix this? Maybe with Odin or something? Like flashing the stock? I would love a full tutorial, or a link to one. Thanks!
2.
It seems like EVERY tablet I get doesn't have a root strategy. I'm hoping this one does. I found strategies online with broken links, etc. But I am wondering if anyone could give me a tutorial, even though there is already some forums. It is running Marshmallow 6.0.1

Hello all... I am planning to root my Galaxy Mega 6.3 I9200 phone, I have been doing a ton of reading through forums and it seems that the build number matters in the process... I have searched with the " " and there is nothing about my specific build number which is kot49h.i9200ubudng1 . I would really like to root my phone but it is my only phone at the moment and it is an older phone. All of the posts i have found were from 4-5 years ago. Below is a screenshot of my phone info and I would really like to find out if it is possible to root. Please point me in a direction that I could root it safely and effectively... I would prefer to do it without a one-click app or any type of 3rd party, I would also like a good way to backup the phone to my pc just in case anything goes wrong. Thank you for any help that I recieve.
