So, I've been having one hard time figuring this out. It seems to be hard to find, or I'm not looking for the right things, so I come seeking your help.
I have a Galaxy S4 (obviously, lol), here's all about it:
Model Number: SCH-I545
Android Version: 5.0.1
Baseband Version: i545VRUGOF1
Build Number: LRX22C.I545VRUGOF1
Can someone tell me if I can root it or not? Towelroot and Kingroot do not work for it. I'm guessing that's because the software is still too new. So, might it just be that there is no root for it yet?
If so, is there anyway I can get rid of the bloatware (it's so frustrating!)?
Thank you in advance!
If on stock OF1, no there is no root for it, and no downgrade options either, as bootloader was updated and locked anything below OF1

I HAVE GALAXY S4 I545 WITH 4.4.2 NK1 FIRMWARE i downloaded of1 update from sammobile.com and not instlling it because i m afraid it may lock network i m in pakistan please confirm it lock network or not please
There is no root for OF1 so the bootloader is locked on OF1, if that's what you're asking.
supposedly this thing SRS ROOT can do it but it can't root mines. Though, the computer reads out that it does.
I used the kingroot no pc apk download. [
It worked fine for me
Yep, use kingroot.
I found that last night that KINGO ROOT is working on sch-i545 build VRUGOF1.
Link for future reference. The old method is better imo. Root is possible with kingroot but didn't work when i swithed to supersu
You have to use kingroot to grant a terminal su permission, then uninstall kingroot, and lastly install SuperSU via the terminal. Google it for a more in-depth walkthrough. I did it in 5 minutes sitting in my car. SuperSU is better, and it plays nice with more apps. Good luck! Message me if you need a link.

My sister in law just jumped from an iPhone to a Verizon Galaxy S4 (i545VRUGOF1) on Android 5.0.1
I'm currently with Tmobile on an S6 (rooted etc.) and have been since the S3 so I am accustomed to rooting etc. However, the root procedure for the Tmobile variant is obviously different.
Anyways, she wants me to root hers and so far as I can tell Kingroot is said to work and I can then remove it and replace with SuperSU.
My question though is what recovery works with this variant? I'm a TWRP guy myself but it doesn't sound like flashing TWRP via Odin will work with this Verizon S4.
Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks and rock on...
Ahhh, the lollipop update irreparably locks the bootloader so you can't even sideload twrp. Sorry man, but you're stuck. You can still root it tho...piece of cake. Use kingroot, then replace it with SuperSU. Instructions are in the link: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html?m=1

I read a few posts that alluded to it being possible to flash the Kitkat firmware via Odin. Yay or nay?
Sent from my SM-G920T using XDA-Developers mobile app
Oh dear. I recall being able to reflash the bootloader etc on a g3 using Odin...to roll it back...but that was over a year ago. About the s4...probably not. Worst case, you brick it. Otherwise it just won't boot. In other words, I would be really surprised. I'll think about it and let you know if I remember anything. The best way to confirm or negate would be to Google it.
The only reason they were rolling back to KitKat was to root it early in the lollipop stages, I think. The bootloader was already and permanently upgraded. -I think. I'm tied and groggy right now...
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yeah I was Google it but couldn't find anything concrete. It would seem to work and I doubt a hard brick would ensue. A soft brick could be recovered using Kies or smartswitch though in most cases. Thanks

Hi,
I went through all the form to root my S4 verizon(unlocked) but nothings related to MG7 baseband??
my baseband version is MG7 is it different than others?? i coudnt find any post related to this version
Main problem is KNOX security is installed in my phone in system directory,
KNOX preventing me from root access(when i tried super user app i am getting a notification ""An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device"),
so i tried to uninstall the KNOX but I need a root privilage to uninstall it. I stuck in the loop.
after I found to bypass the KNOX I should use the certified application to get into root. (i may be wrong i am not sure) is their any way for me to root and install cynagenMod ?? or if helped in uninstalling KNOX i can root it.
Thanks in Advance.
FYI: BaseBand version is I545VRUDMG7 its verizon and unlocked now using AT&T

Are you sure it's MG7 and not MJ7? I did a quick Google search for I545VRUDMG7 and the only thing I found were the posts you created on this and other sites.
Maybe you could post a screen shot of your phone info.

Maybe some sort of test build? Did you purchase the phone used? Generally S4 build numbers have followed a pattern. The second letter generally indicates a date, I believe. That's why MDK was most likely a May 2013 build, ME7 was a June 2013 build, etc. So this may be somewhere in between ME7 and MI1. I would say this device could be a rare gem and may even provide more information towards a BL exploit.

Wait you dont have root on this? Try saferoot or any of the root methods we have they should work. Next it would be helpful if you sent me your bootloaders would you be willing to help us? Also please refrain from installing Cyanogenmod for a little bit until I can get some of the partitions from your device. Also don't upgrade the baseband yet either please.
There was a reason they didnt release this build. It would be helpful to know why I need to analyze the bootloaders from this build. I hope you read this soon and above all else do NOT update your phone!

If you already updated to kitkat there is absolutely no way u can downgrade unless u updated it using surge update to kitkat. But right now u r stuck in kitkat. For me I am still on rooted mk2 waiting for a root for kitkat. U should of waited before updating.

You may want to search these threads. I don't remember reading about anyone trying to downgrade from NC5 back to MK2 yet, but I'm sure someone has at least tried. The leaked KK build (NC2) was able to be downgraded, but with some problems/issues.

I'm always amused by these "I took the update... Help I lost root" posts. It takes time and unless you're actively working on a root solution.... Leave the people alone and let them work. If root is important to you, then never update until a solution is found first or your stuck. No amount of begging will find a solution faster.

From what I read, if the app is not one of the pre-installed apps that comes with the ROM then the app will not have permission to freely access the SD card. There is an App to fix this in the Play Store but I think the app needs root. This really sucks. I thought I used TB to freeze the OTA on my wife's phone but she approved the OTA last night and now I am stuck until someone creates a new root exploit.

If you look through the TMO S5 threads you'll find a thread that explains how to keep root and upgrade using Mobile Odin. Also there's one that explains which processes to stop to keep it from nagging you about the update. But since you are rooted, the update will probably fail anyway.
So peruse around here a little bit and all your questions will be answered and more!
Good Luck!
Hit thanks if I've helped.

you can try this to keep root after update -

You dont need to freeze the update service.
So since you are rooted with towel root, grab mobile odin pro. Use that to flash ota.
Also i assume you are on t-mobile. This method will not trigger knox. If you want to upgrade your bootloader you need to do that with pc odin

Verizon S4 with 5.01
I tried previously when I had 4.4.2 loaded and it failed. So I gave up until I read this thread and voila! it worked! just rooted 2 phones using kingroot 4.1. :laugh:
Well, it looks like The people at Kingroot have managed to root this.
I can confirm as well. I'm on a Verizon S4 Lollipop and Kingroot ver 4.0.703 was able to root my phone without even having to use a PC. The app said my ICH-I545 was unsupported but like everyone says just hit the Root button anyway & it still works!
I dunno if therea any malicious code tho..
I found a site to download Kingroot faster and easier without all the confusing ads. Just be sure to download the latest version. http://androidxda.com/download-kingroot-application
Well it seemed to work for me, but now my phone is stuck in a reboot loop after trying to replace KingRoot with SuperSU. The phone boots, shows the lockscreen and works for about 30 seconds, then whatever app is running closes, then the System UI seems to crash and the phone reboots. Factory reset / safe mode don't seem to help.
I found a factory image and have consilidated the links here, if it helps anyone.

Yesterday I tried the Kingroot app. I downloaded and installed it over my already-rooted Galaxy S4 ( I had been having wifi / internet connection issues since installing a rooted lollipop). When done, I ran their Purify app. After a few reboots that threw it into a boot loop and a battery pull (which seemed to stop the boot loop and allowed it to boot normally) everything seems to work perfectly and my WiFi/Internet connection is solved... phone is much faster too.
I did notice their purity app automatically kills almost everything running in the background. I use the Automateit app heavily, and it took me a little bit to figure out how to set Purity not to kill certain apps that were running in the background.
As usual xda members enjoy!

Yeah im gonna be uploading it to AFH should be on later tonight sorry for the delay ..
***Warning*** If you have taken the Green Battery OTA you CAN NOT go back to this Firmware with any Odin method as of now. In short, you lost root abilities.
I had to donate $5 to SamFirm.net but I am currently uploading them to AFH, link is below. The PIT file is ready, but ROM still uploading as of 7:40 am CST

As Always, you are on your own with theses files should you choose to flash them. They were posted HERE and I re-hosted them to AFH after paying the $5 "donation". One can seriously damage their device if they dont know what they are doing, if this is you...wait for a guide!
my phone did the dumb update will i be able to still flash these ?
this is that dumb update in full ROM form. these files are used mainly to go back to stock after we hopefully achieve root. or if you brick, this is the files to restore your device to that out the box state.
strange but I've always been one of those hardcore AOSP types, but with my Note 7 I only want root for a few select apps. TouchWiz is not that bad compared to Galaxy S 2 days.

lol figured it would, to many things in place by samsung to allow. plus this update that just came, i think patched 4 CVS related to Qualcomm chip and root. even if we get a basic root, we are still far from custom ROMs, need bootloader for that.
Does anyone know if this firmware can be flashed on other variants such as the Verizon N930v? Similar to the GS7/S7Edge? (I'm running factory PF2 AT&T firmware on my Verizon S7 at the moment.. flashed flawlessly without root.. I want to do the same thing but with the Note 7, since I can get Verizon devices at 2yr pricing on my business account instead of monthly payments on AT&T)
Also, is flashing the PIT file required for flashing the rest?
I dont want root I just wish there was a way to unlock tether for unlimited people

I achieved this on my S7 without root by flashing the G930U (unlocked model) firmware, as it didn't have mobile tethering restrictions. Once/if the U firmware is available for the Note 7, you could probably do the same.. pending on if all devices can receive the firmware from other models. (Which I asked on this thread a few minutes ago)..

No you don't have root. You can use Samsung Side Sync on your PC to enable tethering however. It requires the phone to be plugged into your computer/laptop though. No wireless hotspot unfortunately.
Pdanet does the same thing
