Hi,
I use Samsung Verizon Galaxy S4 Lollipop, version 5.0.1 I545.
I tried kingroot, Kingo root, towelroot, and all the rooting programs out there(both one click and PC versions). However, all of them failed to root my device.
I really, really want to root my device....is there anyway to root this WITHOUT particlar rooting programs? Like, doing all on my own?
Help...

There is no root for 5.x on Verizon S4.,,sorry. There was a method to keep root if you were on 4.4, but if you updated it is too late.
Is there a way to go back to 4.4.?

That would be a no too. the bootloader was changed when the S4 was upgraded to OC1
and it seems to be the same for OF1 blocking downgrade to OC1 as well.
check your current firmware version. if you're on OC1 try to do kingroot again, as that one is a hit or miss, but OF1 it can't do currently.
"About the phone" doesn't show me the firmware version. do i need a program to find it>
I am on OC1. King root is failing at 52%. What should I do? I am on I545VRUGOC1. EVERY ATTEMPT TO ROOT HAD FAILED. CAN I DOWNGRADE?

You need to use kingroot on windows desktop from what I heard. it also seems to be a hit or miss and might need multiple attempts.
Can you NOT hijack my thread????
And my buildnumber is LRX22C1545VrRUGOF1.
So,,,I guess rooting my device is not possible.
Can I do it own my own, as I said in title? Without programs like Kingo root etc.
I saw people doing it using command window, TWRP, etc etc

okay, here's the thing
i soft bricked my verizon s4 couple of days ago trying to downgrade from OC1 (5.0.1) to MDK (4.2.x) via Odin. before doing that i tried various root methods via pc , king root & towelroot apk , king root desktop, none of it worked. but after i flashed the stock OC1 via odin to recover my device, the first exploit i tried to root was Kingroot desktop app (it was all in chinese i used google translator on android) and it worked! i replaced the knigroot app with supersu using terminal ( http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html ) . though you cant flash any custom recoveries on OC1 . i hope if this is any help.
PC KingRoof worked afted enabling debugging mode and also changing the USB cable.
0F1 can be rooted
The kernel can be downgraded from 0F1 to 0C1, flashing with Odin. (Search for that....) Success is shown if the DATE on the build goes from July to March. It will still say "0F1" but don't let that worry you. From that point I got frustrated with Kingroot language barrier and used MobileGo program (on PC, with 15-day trial period) "one-click Root" option. After that the kernel can be flashed back to 0F1. (You don't have to, but if not you keep getting annoying notifications: "Unauthorized actions have been detected, etc")
I also use the desktop kingroot app to root my gs4 because wondershare does not work on my pc

Wondershare MobileGo will root OF1 (I've done it several times.) You can download and install on your PC and have a free 30 day trial period.

Hi folks,
Ive been having a strange problem with a couple Galaxy Mega I9200. I have rooted both before without any problems using KINGO originally. The i decided to update both of them with version UBUCNA2. When i tried to re root them back, even though the process have run fine a couple times the phone is not rooting. At this point i dont know what else to do to try to root those phones. I have tried every single method around this forum i think not just KINGO this time. And have not been able to reach root the way it should. Titanium backup shows not able to aquire root priviledges, and other root apps also. Can someone please help me on this?? Keep in mind im not a newbie so dont give me the recovery method advice without something new or to use KINGO because ive have done that already. Thanks a lot guys
You upgraded your phones to the latest knox enabled firmware which has the knox bootloader. You cannot go back to an older firmware or flash a custom rom now.
To root, try the directions provided in this thread and use the melius3gxx files instead of meliusltexx.

Ok thanks, the phones already had the knox apk so my guess was that it was going to be the same thing. Thanks for clarifying that one. And thanks for the advice.
Thanks again, turns out the only thing that is failling root access is when i try to unlock the phone via box. For some reason when its checking for SU access it fails. But thanks anyway i managed to solve the Root problem.
root.
I rooted through Phill touch Recovery.
I have now tried everything I can think of to root my note 3 Verizon with 4.4.4 and the following didn't work: towelroot, framaroot, kingo root, iroot, vroot, rootgenius.
I have no clue how to get ODIN to work. It's giving me an authentication error after it says the nand write begins. No anti virus running, no firewall running, no WiFi active, no bluetooth active, and essentially nothing running in the background. Windows 8.1 on an HP pavillion touchsmart.
I already downloaded a 4.4.2 NC4 OS to flash. Got it from Sam mobile.
Anything to root 4.4.4 so I can install safestrap or a way to install 4.4.2?
Use frama root app and try all old and new version one will work
I just tried every version.
None worked.

No root period and no development, It appears to be hopeless for this phone now.

Agreed. I'm getting the nexus 6P soon enough anyway.
I did a pretty good job of bricking my phone earlier this week Heimdall couldn't flash, odin couldn't flash. It was stuck on the use verizon repair utility screen, which also didn't work. I used smart switch's initialize device feature and it re did the update to of1. But after that I flashed the kernal back to oc1 and strangely enough... wonderhsare mobile go one click root would not work. It just got stuck sitting at reading device for hours on end I tried it a zillion and one times. So out of desperation.. I tried king root and vwhaalaha :victory::highfive: I don't know what changed. I had rooted my of1 sch i545 using the normal downgrade to oc1 kernal and one click root with mobile go before. But after using the smart switch update to unbrick my phone, only king root would do the job. So if anyone else can't get wondershare to work, try king root
Running a stock 5.1.1, I need root, and to unlock the carrier. its meant to be a prepaid phone, but i want to put my regular verizon service on it. ***Willing to do what is necessary in the name of android.
This is the phone. Only mine isn't 4.4 jelly bean

Literally can't find anything that works.
No links to ANY "unlocking" websites.
They are fake.
I refuse to use kingo root, doesn't work and the malware isn't worth it.
Chirp.. chirp...chirp..
Anything?
King root works, then use supersume app to replace ki ng user with super su i have the sm-j100vpp. And i knw for a fact that all works when done properly
fml
kingo worked, the only problem is when i tried to switch to super su it ended up corrupting my rom, now i cant boot, missing my backup, trying to figure out how to adb or odin to fix that,(i have access to odin menu).....
then onward to get my sm-j100vpp on my post pay account.

Check forums for firmware, i believe if its .tat.md5 odin flashes it regardless of the aboot version. Thus downgrading your bootloader & allowing root. xD
This is NOT to be confused with the RCT6773w22 (Notice the "b" at the end of the model number for the tablet I'm using)
Been searching on and off for about 6 months now, with no luck.. Have tried all the usual suspects (FramaRoot, iRoot, KingoRoot, KingRoot, etc) to no avail. KingoRoot even said it was able to be rooted, but fails everytime. iRoot says it succeeds at rooting (Android application only, PC application says failed)
Root Checker on Android says that it's possible and has been done, but hard, and of course they give you no instructions.
So I guess I just wanna know if anyone can point me in the correct direction of where to root it, or if they don't know, someone who can help me get it rooted.
Edit - Assuming this is all correct, here are the specs.
Kernel 3.10.54
Sat May 9 20:16:53 CST 2015
Android 5.0
The ROM is just whatever the stock ROM is. If needed, I can extract it if I'm given a tutorial (Unless obviously it's not something a standard person can do)

Just use king root. Cant be found in playstore

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/kingro...-release/kingroot-4-9-3-android-apk-download/
Install and when opened it will say not root. And it will ask try root. Select it and requires internet for rooting
