i downloaded Kingroot app install and run it but when running at 51% my phone reboot and root failed... I've tried PC version but it isn't work,too?

Just a question. Are you sure you're not on the new OF1 that was just pushed out. I've seen posts where people fit it without knowing. This will kill the ability for root for now.

I'm having trouble also but with a twist. I was rooted with kingroot and flashed stangs rom but something went wrong and I just got a black screen after boot. I flashed a stock vzw oc1 firmware via odin and now no root for me. I've tried about every version with the same results. I'm baffled why I can't root again.

So sad but it's true i hear everybody told OC1 now can't root... but you saw that in xda forum of I545 have a few post about rooted success OC1 Stock with Kingroot... i don't think it true.. because i've tried it many times...
I did root with kingroot the first time but when I had to flash the stock oc1 rom to my phone and try to root again, kingroot just can't do it this time
Here's a couple of questions regarding Kingroot...
1. How do we all know this is trustworthy? I have read many things across the net. Some good and some bad.
2. If it is trustworthy why is there not an English translation? There may be one but I have yet to find ot.
I am on a Verizon S4 running 5.0.1 OC1 and am wanting to root extremely bad but I also want to be cautious. I took the update via Kies so I know I can't downgrade to 4.4.4 or 4.4.2. Any help would be great.
Thanks

I have just re-rooted using kingroot, but had to use the desktop v3.0, and yes it is all in Chinese. I don't speak Chinese so it was definitely a trial and error process. As soon as you root you run an app called supersume to remove the kingroot files and superuser(kinguser) and it installs chainfire's supersu. I'm glad I have root access again.

I updated to 4.4.2 via OTA today and I wanted to go back to 4.3. I used Odin to try and recover to 4.3 but it failed multiple times. Now I am screwed because the 4.4.2 recovery for Odin isn't out so my phone is a paperweight until it does. Any idea when it will be out? Thanks
I've tried many different ways of trying to fix it but have yet to prevail.

generally speaking, once you have taken an OTA firmware update you can't go back.....thats why we have warned those you wish to keep root not to take the OTA until a method (if possible) is found to root stock 4.4 kitkat

Yes I understand that now. It is just so unfortunate that of all times I try to update it literally just comes out and no possible way to flash stock version of it.
I've unbricked my phone before with 4.3 I just hope a 4.4.2 version will come out to use with Odin...

Hello,
I am really new to rooting and custom roms. I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find a tutorial on how to root the S4-i545 on NC5. I don't understand custom recovery, and overall I'm just a really bad noob at this. Could I be linked to an informative tutorial to help me better understand things? Also, if there is a tutorial on how to root the i545 on NC5 that would be fantastic.
I'm really stuck and I've been researching for the past few days and still haven't come across anything helpful..

rooting and custom roms loading are not for the faint of heart. Going to NC5 is fairly complex process and requires alot of patience and alot knowledge concerning odin process as using odin is key part of the inst all of downgrading. I take it your phone is already NC5 and you took the OTA?

Yes. I downloaded the OTA from Verizon for 4.4.2. I've heard many times that a NC5 root is not available, so is there any way you know to downgrade back to 4.3 for root? I understand there is a post by surge on how to upgrade to NC5 and keep root after that, but I can't seem to find a post on how to downgrade back to 4.3

Read the following: from Surge1223.
That will allow you to downgrade to 4.3, root it, then eventually upgrade to 4.4 while retaining root.
You do NOT want to downgrade to 4.3 if you've installed 4.4. The kernel modules for 4.3 won't work unless you run bypasslkm at every boot, which appears to be a challenge for a number of people. Once you've started the NC5 upgrade, you really want to be on 4.4.
If you're still on 4.3 (MK2) and want to upgrade to NC5, I'd recommend using this. It's a lot easier to do, but it only applies if your MK2 system is basically factory stock but rooted (or if you can get it back to stock.)
I've gotten my answer on downgrading, could someone please explain to me what recovery is?

Ha, as a newcomer I can confirm that following Surge's method is not the easiest but I was able to pull it off on the first try. Now currently Using NC5 4.4.2 rooted and running smoothly. I'm going to try to run Hyperdrive's newest release as soon as the rom download is finished.

There's three ways you can boot your android device.
First is normal mode. That's the way it nomally boots, running the full operating system.
The second is downloader mode. This mode allows you to flash new software images using ODIN.
The third is recovery mode. Factory recovery allows you to flash updates, wipe the stock ROM, factory reset, etc. A custom recovery allows you to flash arbitrary updates (those which aren't signed by Samsung).
Phones running MDK bootloader can have a custom recovery that allows you to flash nonstandard ROMs.
Past MDK, this requires the use of Safestrap recovery.
Quick question - where would I put necessary files on my SD card? Under which directory?

Closed at OP request.
I must be missing the how-to thread, but I've searched and come up empty handed...
I have a Verizon S4 on 4.3 with root. Originally I had 4.2 rooted, did the procedure to keep root when I upgraded to 4.3, but now I cannot upgrade to 4.4.2 without removing root (the OTA fails).
How do I remove root from 4.3 so that I can take the OTA update? I found this thread here, however, the Stock Firmware Page only lists 4.2.2 as an option, not 4.3. I didn't want to brick my phone by flashing to 4.2.2.
Is this really the simplest way to make my rooted 4.3 take the OTA for 4.4.2?
Thanks!

First of all, I would recommend staying at MK2. There are many reasons. If you REALLY want to goto 4.4.2, you have to open SuperSU and tap on Cleanup for permanent unroot. Then try taking the OTA.
EDIT: To get root back on 4.4.2, use towelroot.
EDIT 2: If you want to keep MK2 baseband but upgrade to 4.4.2, follow surges method.
Forgot to list that...I tried using SuperSU but it just sits there with the spinning circle forever and never says it has completed.
I have no real reason to go to 4.4.2, other than my desire to try the new OS...
xXsquirr3lsXx - Can you elaborate on why you recommend staying on MK2?
Code3VW - The other option you have is to ODIN the NC5 tar.
You could use the verizon repair tool , it will load the latest version of android and then use towelroot for root. I had the same problem on my wifes S3 and it worked and it is confirmed towelroot works on the S4.

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

ugh. so frustrated! I got the edge Friday and rooted it using autoroot with no problems. I tried Saturday to install a custom ROM and got stuck in a boot loop. Finally flashed new firmware via Odin late Saturday night and was able to get it to boot. Since then I can't get root back. Every time I do, I get stuck in a bootloop. I get to the sprint spark screen and it reboots. I have followed the instructions step by step for root including the updated superuser. After I run autoroot via Odin, it restarts but then I boot into recovery, install superuser and reboot and it goes into the loop. I have to reflash the firmware via Odin to get out of it. I used N915PVPU4COG1_N915PSPT4COG1_SPR from the samsung firware website. My phone info is:
version - 5.1.1
Kernel - 3.10.40-5227917
Build, software and baseband are all - LMY47X.N915PVPU4COG1
I'm stumped. I can usually figure this out by myself and since I got my first Android years ago I've been able to eventually get things to work. I've tried superuser 2.16 and 2.46 with the same results.
The only thing I haven't done is try CWM and that's just because I KNOW TWRP works because I got it to work Friday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../root-supported-kernel-5-1-1-testers-t3176651
I don't believe cf-autoroot is working on 5.1.1. Also since you took the 5.1.1 update you won't be able roll back to a different firmware. Just sit tight and wait for root to become available for 5.1.1.
The thread i linked to is for a root supported kernel. It isn't available yet but hopefully will be available soon.
Version 5.1.1. isn't able to be rooted yet. You just got the edge and it of course came with that ROM. Every one who had 5.0.1 was able to root (I'm still rooted because I didn't update), but there were ones that took the update and assumed that they could root like before. But that's not the case. Samsung did stuff to the new version to stop the old ways of rooting. There are a few that are trying to get root, but it's been a process since the update came out, and there isn't any word on success. And the new ROM doesn't allow you to go to an older version. Just like ones that updated to Lollipop from KitKat, they can't go back to KitKat, and anyone who has this new version can't root or go anywhere but wait and hope. It's not just you.
