you should only have to download Superuser from the play store, otherwise try to root the phone again.

I have tried to download Superuser from play store and it didnt work. And also is it safe to root your phone twice?
You must finish your rooting by an app and guided by some instruction from some websites. Then maybe the master there will have a post which guiding you back to the starting point.

Okay. Just like what you said, there is a superuser app. How can you get that? I don't know but maybe you took acknowledge at some instructions and rooted your phone and then you get it. So go back to that instruction. Maybe there is another thread which is introducing the way of unroot.
You know what i'm saying?

OK i get it, i got superuser app automatically after i rooted my device, then I uninstalled superuser app, then installed supersuser elite(at that point i realized i dont have root access anymore) and after that i uninstalled superuser elite and installed superuser again from play store. Nothing worked. I guess i will root my device again- nothing bad should happen, right?

You could ask that you didn't understand and asked for a better explanation.
hi
you are not obliged to use superuser app you can use supersu (from play store) , keep in mind that you have to update the binaries from superuser or supersu in order for root to work , you should also chack that usb debuging is checked on your phones developer options otherwise root wont work .

Well, at that time i missed once just like you, and i rooted again without hesitation. But the second time i read the instruction hardly and i succeeded at last. Fortunately the error wouldn't happen. My cellphone is Motorola Xt615 and i dunno yours. I guess root on a second time is still okay.

Is someone screwing with me? I am late to the Note 3 party, picking one up yesterday. Not going to activate unless I can root. I have searched high and low for 1.1.6, have found everything but that version. Is there something specific I should search for, a hint within the forum rules? Thanks! I tried VRoot after getting frustrated and it failed.

This is the Afterdawn Kingo 1.1.6 installer. It will give you 3 options trying to install AVG as your antivirus. Make sure you uncheck those boxes. After you download the file choose open to install. It's easy to figure out after that. If you need help with it post back.

Ok i got this link from someone earlier, mid rooting it messed up my screen where it will not recognize touch unless i used s-pen. Couldnt find a fix for it, top of the screen worked but bottom portion would not respond to touch. I ended up unrooting and formatting twice and it mysteriously started working normal again.

Sorry to hear that. This is the same file I used. Nothing happened to mine. I did see on the forums someone else say their phone bottom half stopped responding to touch. I believe he said he took the battery out at night and the next morning put it back in and it worked again.

Hey there! I have the Korean F400k10g version ( which i downgraded to because the 10l version wouldn't root ).. any idea if this would this root the 10l? Rooting the F400k10l ( which is the latest version in Korea ) failed on all popular rooting software.. :good::good:
Hey thanks for the post! I went ahead and downloaded and started the "grind" and it gave me a message that it had to bruteforce. And it could take 10 minutes, is this normal? I do have the Verizon version btw and everything is stock as,I just picked,it up yesterday. Thanks!!

Yes, had to bruteforce my VZW G3. Worked perfectly. Remember to uninstall Stump after you've installed SuperSU and rebooted once to be sure all is good.
Worked perfectly!
I'll confirm, I did this w/my Verizon G3 when I got it about a month ago and it worked perfectly. Been able to use apps like TiBu, root explorer, greenify, g3tweaks (donated), etc with no issues.
I did have to Brute force, and it took about 3 minutes IIRC.
Another confirmation that it worked. Now off to the main thread to give more thanks.
Had to unroot the device, now when I try to root using this method I get "Phone not supported".. Any ideas?

Thanks for posting this. My GFs face will be priceless when I unbox my G3 tomorrow morning from Amazon, and go to this page, and root it within minutes of it's first startup.....
Some oddities with this apk:
* Wants permission to pass queries to Maluuba (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maluuba.android&hl=en)
* Wants to manage IPsec connections - why would a root app need to establish a vpn connection?
* Wants permission to Google Now Remote Access
All of this seems fishy... so the app could remote into my phone via an encrypted VPN (so no trace of the source), and do whatever - including screen my search queries...
I don't think so.
I want to do this to my GF's G3 but is there a 100% way to get back to factory?I am not familiar with LG phones
after i run stump, can i uninstall the app? after the reboot, the phone was asking permission to uninstall... let me know thanks!!!!!

Hey Matthew!
I have the OF1 and want to root my phone. I have gone to the One Root site and they couldn't root it and refunded my money. I never rooted a phone, but it doesn't look too hard to do for I saw a guy do it on a video using Odin 3 and it took a lot of steps, but it didn't look hard. I never rooted a phone, but I'm freakin' going to. I want my phone back. I keep trying to download all the stuff you guys say to download, but Wondershare is not for Windows 10 and every time I try to download something I can't because it's in a strange file format and my comp is evidently not intelligent enough to open it. Also when I go to download an APK file opener they tell me I need to download something ELSE in order to use the APK file opener and I can't open THAT file. Do you see where I'm going with all this? Is there a place where us folks who have no clue what is going on can get ALL the stuff we need in one place? Or no? There has to be an easier way.
FIRST of all where can I download a file opener that opens ALL types of files? I KNOW one HAS to exist. I just haven't found it yet. Once I get that file opener then maybe the files I download can be opened. After this task is complete I will need to know step by step how to use Odin to complete the root and I will get someone to explain that to me later.
Thanks Matthew.

There is a file explorer on the Google play store called es file explorer. It has opened nearly every file I've downloaded and it supports apks as well. As for a simple one click root, the easiest way to do it for of1 is to use wondershare following the guide in the general section. Now for if wondershare doesn't work after the kernel downgrade then you should try kingroot. Google all about root I believe there is an article somewhere explaining everything you need to know

Thanks for your timely response Matthew. I already tried Kingroot and Kingo Root, both failed after multiple attempts. From what I have been reading people have been downgrading their kernel version back to something that can be rooted. I have Samsung Galaxy S-4 SCHi545 Build number LRX22C.i545VRUGOF1 and when I look at my system updates it says my phone was updated to that particular build on Aug. 24th 2015. When I click on "Show system update history" it says my my software was updated to i545VRUGOC1 on April 30th, 2015. Seems like people are...like you said...downgrading to an previous kernal so they can root their phones because these higher level software updates have non-exploitable features so we can't root these phones.
Now having said all that it looks like I need to downgrade my kernal for even you say I need to try Wondershare after I downgrade my kernal. I've seen videos on downgrading the kernals using Odin 3, but when I tried to download Odin 3 on my comp I couldn't because my comp couldn't open the files that were trying to be downloaded. I will try to download the es file explorer to use. Now this app goes on my comp or my phone because I need to get Odin on my comp to use, not my phone. In other words does Google Play have apps to download to your comps like File explorer?
I've had to do a lot of reading the last two days so I figure out you guys' language and to learn all about rooting. I feel like I am close to my goal of emancipating my freakin' phone out of the hands of TYRRANY!

Odin should download to a zip file which is natively compatible for windows. If you are unable to open zip files for whatever reason you will have to Google how for your certain operating system. When I said es file Explorer I meant for your phone.

want to root sch i545
I have the exact same phone and problem. I would not try to root unless there is an easy way as I don't know enough about how it works if the solution is complicated. Please post as soon as you find a way to root it Thanks
I got this device used and it had been updated to the newest firmware. It would not work with Kingroot, Framaroot, SRS, or Kingo. The only option was to attempt to downgrade to an older firmware with unpatched exploits. The Verizon J1 has a locked bootloader so it cannot flash full firmware packages with older bootloaders. Luckily it can be downgraded to older firmware of the same android version with older kernel. I just had to unpack the firmware and remove the bootloader and repack. I tried to make a rooted stock firmware but can't seem to repack the system.img.ext4 properly after mounting it.
Now let's get down to business
1. Download Odin 3.09
2. Download modified (by me) rootable firmware. Do not rename file it might mess up md5sum.
3. Boot phone to download mode. Hold power+vol down+ home.
4. Start Odin and connect phone with original factory sync cable.
5. Click on the AP button and select the firmware downloaded above. It will check the md5sum automatically when it finishes and passes then press the start button. Once the flash finishes it will reboot.
6. Enable usb debugging.
7. Download Kingoroot for PC (google) and let it run. The apk will not work to root. It should install drivers automatically.
8. Profit!!
I'm testing a method to reliably switch to Supersu but having trouble updating binary 100% of the time. I've tried to flash exposed but Flashfire doesn't seem to work properly with this device. If anyone can suggest a workaround please share.
OP, is it okay if I don't have original factory sync cable in hands?

Yeah its ok you just run into less issues with original cable.
**Working on updating links I have a slow upload speed though.

I got this device used and it had been updated to the newest firmware. It would not work with Kingroot, Framaroot, SRS, or Kingo. The only option was to attempt to downgrade to an older firmware with unpatched exploits. The Verizon J1 has a locked bootloader so it cannot flash full firmware packages with older bootloaders. Luckily it can be downgraded to older firmware of the same android version with older kernel. I just had to unpack the firmware and remove the bootloader and repack. I tried to make a rooted stock firmware but can't seem to repack the system.img.ext4 properly after mounting it.
Now let's get down to business
1. Download Odin 3.09
2. Download modified (by me) rootable firmware. Do not rename file it might mess up md5sum.
3. Boot phone to download mode. Hold power+vol down+ home.
4. Start Odin and connect phone with original factory sync cable.
5. Click on the AP button and select the firmware downloaded above. It will check the md5sum automatically when it finishes and passes then press the start button. Once the flash finishes it will reboot.
6. Enable usb debugging.

If u want to switch to SuperSu from KingoROOT, the best and easiest method would be backing up ur phone and performing a soft reset. Afterwards simply install SuperSu, the superuser binary is already installed from kingroot - no worries, just update it normally via SuperSU and disable KNOX after the update is complete.
That switch idea of yours might get you bricked
Confirmed it works now we need a recovery so we can just flash su
SuperSUme works really really well lol, this phone is 32bit only any1 wanna try 4 a recovery?
Thxx bro
I've tried porting a few times from the j100h twrp and keep getting a return to Verizon dealer screen. So I'd assume the bootloader is still locked. Im going to try the old safestrap and see if i can't get that working. But im kinda a noob so I'll do my best.
p.s. Don't try flashing any recovery until you backup your current one with rashr or flashify.BE SAFE.btw I've yet to see supersume actually work but hey it could happen. I'd much rather just flash the su from a recovery.

Agreed about flashing the recovery, but you need to be rooted with KingOroot to get SuperSUme to work, & it helps to just keep the screen timeout turned off thru this process , after it says "complete" I downloaded SuperSU & installed, updated, "disabled" knox, & I can also use flashfire although its pretty worthless for anything other than backups, as the little AROMA shell emulator thingy does run after the verizon logo is showing, which indicates to me yea its locked down pretty solid lol.
I tried Safestrap & it gave me a /SS folder in my /etc so I looked into that but I can't manage to figure out how I should go placing the files to make it work lol. But i do know this thing is 32bit ONLY, so compiling the j100H twrp for instance will NOT flash no matter what we do to the bootloader, it will bootloop since the architecture is for a 64bit SoC, we need someone to compile the j100H twrp in a 32bit only compatible architecture, & then you can easily flash it like cake, & TWRP should do the rest like all other Samsung phones O.O
its gotten to the point these are all the apps I have when i restore haha, if you wanna PM me about working together to get this thing a little more flexible I'm always open to ideas . I only use this thing as a hotspot but would totally like to see a recovery at least make it over & from there I could definitely start the ROM bringup
Will I get bricked by doing this with Verizon

Haha believe it or not that's a pretty reasonable question! xD, you shouldn't, i cannot see why, if you have problems just restore i will help ya through it again, & if you want xposed ONLY use the material installer from xda

If you havent used SUPERSUme to transfer it over to SuperSU, google the app, can't find the free one on play store anymore i guess.
