Hello there everyone,
I was wondering is there any way to root the Galaxy s4 L720 on lollipop as of now? I saw a prerooted firmware which I installed then stopped working. So I'm look for a way to root it through odin or something...
Thank you all.
Me too. Anyone please help.

It typically matters about which build number of your software you're on. Typically, the Sprint S4 has always been rootable by installing a custom recovery and flashing Chainfire's SuperSU zip. He also created the CF AutoRoot, which works for that phone as well, but not sure if he updated it to work on the particular update you're on, since you didn't mention it.

I am rooted with the Galaxy Note II toolkit version 4.1.5 and I want to download the new OTA Stock update. Do I need to unroot first and if so I need help cannot get my computer with the Note II toolkit to recognize my phone serial number never shows up and I do have the updated drivers. Any ideas or help would be great appreciated.
If you want the OTA, you do need to be stock. I've actually never used the Toolkit so I can't be of much help that way but why not try Odin? Is is fairly simple to use and I've never had a problem flashing anything with it.
"Of course if they are compatible."
Use this to update u won't loose anything... just need to be stock with root and twrp...

I am trying to root my galaxy s3, I just updated the system to 4.4.2 and i planned on using cf auto root. I used odin and it said pass, but when I went on, supersu wasn't there. This phone has been rooted before and when i go into download mode, it says that qualcomm secureboot: enabled. Also, i am not able to get into my recovery. Is it locked out for some odd reason? Please help me with this situation because it is driving me crazy.
What 4.4.2 rom have you flashed? Most custom roms come rooted so I'm kinda surprised yours isn't.

qualcomm?
then it is not an i9300 international S3 but an US variant or similiar.
this forum is i9300 only, so please ask in the correct forum, where you will probably get help.

I just flashed a stock rom because I originally was on 4.3 and i couldn't do the ota update and so i unrooted and I flashed 4.4.2, then i tried to root and didn't work
you better check your device
check your device and compare with the files you are flashing...
becouse tho root with odin is 100% secure...
here is the chainfire post on his work,,, follow the instructions

Sorry for starting a new thread. I'm overwhelmed with all the reading and corrections. Hopefully someone can help me.
1. Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 (MODEL)SCH-I545
2. Running KitKat 4.4.2
3. Build: VRUFNC5
I rooted my Galaxy S3 so if I have everything I need I should be able to handle it. I prefer to do it from my PC if possible.
I'm currently downloading THECOMPLETEPACKAGE but it's massive @2.3GB
Google towel root. It's an app you install with one click root.

Can you help????
I downloaded new software update the other night. Now my phone is unrooted somehow.... On top of all that when i try to reroot my phone it says THIS PHONE IS NOT SUPPORTED. I been using towelroot for about the past 3 or 4 months. I don't understand
The Towelroot method only works with the nc5 and nc1 kernel i believe, not ng6.
So first I just want to say that I'm new here, nice to meet you all, and please forgive me if I'm asking this in the wrong place because it's a pretty large forum site, that I figured this was the best place to post my question.
I came because I am complete lost in rooting my Samsung Galaxy S4. I was able to root 2 others before without a problem but this one is basically denying it with Odin.
Carrier is At&t
It is unlocked.
Model is a SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
Baseband is I337UCUAMDL
Hope I can get it resolve here as it is a gift for my mother.
Thank you
Anyone? please.
What do you mean by being denied by Odin? And you have the MK2 update now? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758 Works for ATT too if you're on MK2 (root does not depend on the modem version but the build version of the software)..

I mean that it keeps giving me a 'FAIL' whenever I tried rooting it with a .tar file that would usually get it to root.
It's an SAMSUNG SGH-I337
Not sure what more information you would need but would the link you posted help me?
You have to know the build number/version of the software before you know which method to root.

You're also on an older baseband version for that update. You might want to consider upgrading that part too.

There's only a few posts on this thread and 1 of them tells you what info you need to have before anyone can tell you what method to root. Not only that, but it usually varies between which variant of the S4 as well.
Im having time a hard what version of root im gonna use on my S4 5.0.1 GT-I9505..

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.
