In order to remove the notification for updating the OS,
I first acquired root, then, using Titanium Backup, I froze the SDM.
I don't know how to do it without root though

I have a rooted Nook tablet so not a complete noob, but how safe is the root process for a verizon Galaxy s4? I'd like to root it so I can get rid of some of the junk apps and install others I want, but I void my two yr warranty...thoughts from the experts? just want to feel comfortable moving forward and if so, is there a set of clear instructions somewhere?
Thanks to all

Instead of an asinine comment that does you no go, here's some info.
Yes, rooting will void the warranty. However, you can always Odin to go back to stock should you have an issue that requires returning your phone to VZW.
I've rooted both my old S3 and my current S4. I JUST started rooting on the S3, so I'm relatively new as well but have learned a lot. My S3 was stock rooted, but I took the plunge with my S4 and am running HyperDrive ROM which is HOLY MOLY sweetness.
It's up to you, but if you're going to root, perhaps look at the ROMs that are available and flash one. I'm not sorry that I started flashing Roms. Not one bit

Three replies thus far and yours is the only one of solid benefit..thanks. Can you point me anywhere to see step by step to accomplish what you did on your S4?

Here is the link to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798
How old is your S4? The reason that I ask is that there was an OTA update the broke root. Currently there are Dev's looking into how to root with the new firmware.
Have you installed the OTA update?
Phone is about a month old...I have made no changes to the existing phone so I don.t know about the OTA update (although the VW software that came with it appears to update the phones software when plugged into laptop)

Go to ->Setting->More->About Phone and tell me what you Baseband version says. If it's VRUAME7, you have the OTA update. If it's VRUAMDK, you do not.
confirming VRUAME7

Unfortunately you will not be able to root until a new method becomes available.
is it possible to back up to pre-OTA update status?

No.....there is no way to uninstall the update. Patience, young rooting grasshopper! A new method will be out shortly, I would imagine. Doesn't usually take too long,
Much appreciated...and lastly can you point me to how I would reinstall what you refer to as Odin should I screw up a future root process?

So, sorry if I sound illiterate or even rude with this post, but I am frantic at this point. I currently own a Galaxy S4 on Verizon wireless running 4.2.2 (VRUDMI1) and I am having a lot of trouble upgrading to 4.3. I was currently rooted without an unlocked bootloader using a root that you guys created (thanks a bunch for that) but now I want to upgrade to the new 4.3 and get rid of my root. I tried using the OTA update to upgrade to the 4.3 version and it failed, 3 times. I was then reading about this "Samsung Knox" stuff and it's really freaking me out. I would lose my warranty and I could never get it fixed or repaired or anything if I trigger this e-fuse. So I did a factory reset, twice, and it still says Samsung Custom with a little picture of a lock that is open and I am afraid to try and upgrade using the update to 4.3. I am worried that it will trigger this Knox because it says custom. I am not using a custom anything, it is all stock Samsung everything, except for I had root access. I read that you can restore this "Custom" message using Verizon's Software Repair Assistant and I have been doing that for 4 hours now and it is stuck on downloading. Is there ANY other way to make that custom message go away WITHOUT RE-ROOTING? Will this message trigger Knox when I try to upgrade? This is all very stressing for me and I will probably NOT root again after this. I just want a safe and reliable way to upgrade to android 4.3 without triggering Knox and without having to root. Please, if you can help me with this I would be EXTREMELY grateful. I hope to hear from anyone! Thanks!:crying:

Oh my god, thank you so much. I am so happy right now! It says official! Thank you so much! I can finally sleep now. Is there any thanks button or like button or anything so I can thank you ;-;?
Edit: I'm blind with exhaustion and did not see the Thanks button. If I could spam that button, I would. But thank you so much, sir!
Just got this Verizon note 2 from a friend, 4.3 MJ9, rooted it with saferoot method and found that an update was downloaded to the phone. Where is this update so I can safely delete. Also, with all this talk of locked and unlocked bootloader, I was wondering what are my options ROM wise? Way too much Samsung junk to freeze on here and I haven't flashed anything since my Bionic! Thanks guys
Can someone at least tell me where the update downloads to so I can delete it?

Patience..
Update is usually in cache/
Anyway... 4.3 is also locked.. So your only option is SafeStrap..with limited ROMS
After you delete the update freeze the app SDM 1.0 so it doesn't download again.
Brought the phone out of retirement due to theft, thanks again!

I saw that too. I'm rooted on NG6 now experiencing no problems, but really want lollipop. Any word on how root is going to work with this new build? I apologize in advance if that is a dumb question.

If it works anything like the other GS4's than you will need to flash a pre-rooted lollipop build using Flashfire (or safestrap, but you probably won't be able to access safestrap after flashing lollipop).
I always just followed the directions posted by muniz_ri in the [How-To] root thread in this forum. I guess stay tuned! I didn't use safestrap cause I thought we couldn't.

its a staged rollout, meaning that if it doesn't come to you now it'll come soon
like in the next few days from what i can tell. verizon always does their rollouts like this.
Well, crap. I really really want this update. But no xposed for lollipop touchwiz, no custom ROMs, no deodex, and a one time shot at the root method really kills it for me.
muniz_ri said:

Second step, if you want any chance of root, is to not to take the ota until the firmware can be evaluated.
Yeah, if you're rooted, on whatever bootloader, best to wait and give these guys time to do what it is we're all for. If this is anything like the other carriers, or past OTAs (especially ones since 4.3) you'll b sorry if u get impatient.
I'd help but My phone is rom'd and I can't live with stock touchwiz/ not being able to go back to ng6/nc5. If it were the s3 however...
Will CF auto root would it be able to root android 5.0.1. I really do not care about the Samsung knots being trigger my phone is already out of warranty. I just have insurance if it gets stolen or I drop it in water. Or should I wait until they find a root method without triggering Samsung knots. I read about triangle away but like I said at this point I can careless if it gets trigger. What are you guys opinion?

As of now, if you took the OTA and did not preserve root, there is no root method available. Also, "Knox"

No root for OC1 unless you took the neutered tar through odin or used a ROM from @gigilie or another dev .

Thank you. I was did preserve root. for lollipop but what happen I let my nephew play on my phone and he ran safestrap and i was stuck in a bootloop. I couldn't get it out no matter what. I was in the bootloader OC1. I was one of the guys that help Muniz achieve root for everyone. We were having Wifi issues but i told him i would upgrade my bootloader to help if it would fix it. but it was the kernel. So i needed to used samsung kies to get my back up. So thats how I lost root. But thank you for your help.

Fyi...... @dgutierrez04 was the guy that pulled the OC1 ota update for me when no one else could due to the two part 5.0 update. He also took one for the team during testing of the OC1, Stock Rooted ROM so many of you enjoy today by updating his bootloader to OC1.
I assume he has no backup phone.
That said, it seems a lot of people have to use Kies... as Odin reports fails...
I did not root my I545 verizon so now I have lollipop oc1. My question is should I not take the next upgrade for lollipop or at this point does it make a difference as far as getting root?
Thoughts are more than welcome

No I do not have a backup phone. But hey that's how we learn. I will do it again for the community if I can capture again the update and test it for everyone I would. I am a te player. I wish I could built roms but I'm not that smart lol.

I suggest is to wait and hope they can find a root method and try to avoid future updates as off right now. That's what I would suggest you doing as for me I will be doing the same.
