Help..never seen this before. Stubborn KingUser
Running OC1 5.0.1 on my SCH-I545 and decided to factory reset. Following my unroot through SuperSU and subsequent factory reset, I loaded up my phone to the custom "unlocked padlock" logo. Weird, but didn't think much of it until I looked at my phone status set as "Custom" and KingUser somehow still installed(!??!!?!?). I cannot uninstall through the app itself. as the app is not in rooted status and am at a loss for this. My phone is not rooted, but i also can't delete the app.
Any word as to my options in getting completely back to stock? My attempts at odin to of1 and back to oc1 were unsuccessful.
It'll cost $3.99 plus tax, but you can follow this link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=darkslide.com.supersumepro . I had tried several options before they either didn't work at all or they removed KingUser and my root and replaced it with nothing. This worked. Read and follow the instructions on the app page in the store. It's as easy as pushing s big red button.

I recently got s-off, updated from 1.15 to 2.06, installed abp and also flashed a no ads zip file for good measure because some ads would still get through. Everything was going great until the phone randomly froze. I held down the power button and rebooted into recovery and cleared my cache and dalvik cache, thinking that may have been the problem. Upon rebooting after that, I come to find out I've lost my root access. This is so weird. I am still s-off and have the 2222222 confirmation shown when I am in the bootloader, I still have super user installed, but when I run an app that needs root, such as adaway, it says I don't have root. I downloaded root checker and it confirmed that I didn't have root. I don't understand how this could have happened. Is there anyway to regain root? I have been having the worst luck with this phone :\

Send me a PM if you want me to help you out. You need to install a custom recovery and use that to install a rooted rom and kernel. It can be a stock rooted rom. Or mostly stock however you want to do it, I'll help you set it up and teach you some things along the way.
I can teach you all kinds of things via team viewer, it wont take long and it's a necessity for having a rooted phone in my opinion. I know it can be frustrating and over whelming but it will get better I promise.
Oh and also you don't need to worry about losing s off. It's at a much lower level than anything you've mentioned touching. So it will always be there regardless because you definitely don't want to be messing with hboots or s off type stuff.
Hey, I PMed you.
Try uninstalling superuser and installing either supersu or the other superuser.

I can't uninstall my Superuser unless I use Titanium Backup. I tried installing SuperSU (while still having my original Superuser installed) and the SuperSU said that "There is no SU binary installed"

How to get root back after subsequent apps are denied root?
Over the last year, this has happened several times while having different custom roms installed. It happened several times with my Galaxy S4 and S5, and recently with my Galaxy Tab S 10.5. I have not lost root on my Nexus 7 (2013). The common denominator appears to be the Samsung devices.
Through SuperSu, I have removed root, rebooted, and installed root again with CF-Root which has not given me root access.
The only way I have been able to recover to date is to do a factory rest. It is interesting to note that I would have thought that the factory rest would take me back to the Samsung rom but in the last two time that I did this on either device, I ended up with the custom rom that I just had but without root or custom recovery.
To go back to a Samsung rom, I would think that if I started the device in download mode and did a flash with odin.
But rather than go through this, is there a reason why this happens and/or is there a way to avoid it?
Lastly, is there a true way of getting root back once it stops granting root?

Best to post such things in your device specific forum.
This forum is for the Droid DNA.
However, gaining root is as simple as downloading the latest SuperSu zip and flashing it in recovery.
Very simple to do on any rom.
I just got done rooting my phone after doing a factory restore using Odin-CF-Auto-Root-d2att-d2uc-samsungsghi747.tar for my Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T I747. after I rooted it everything seemed fine, SuperSU opened fine. But I got a system update, I looked and I was running on 4.0.4. So I let the phone install 4.1.2. After the install I go into SuperSU again and I get the Error Message this is no SU binary, This is a problem. Then force close.
The devise still reads as modified, And when putting it in download mode it says custom. So to get SuperSU working again do i need to uninstall the root and then reinstall it on the current 4.1.2? If so how do I got about uninstalling the root? installing it again is simple.
There is an update su binary floating around here somewhere. Search for it and flash it in recovery. All will be fixed.
It happened in mine flashing 4.3

I just ended up fixing it. I guess updating the firmware screws with the superSU. rerooted the phone and superSU worked again but I had 2 trip counts so I used Triangle away and now Its reading as official.
Now I need to find some ROMS for the I747 AT&T.. I hard bricked my last s3 and AT&T replaced it. (not knowing it was hard bricked)
I have the same problem with CF-auto root. SU binary not found.
is there any other method to root s3, 4.3?
another question: why is important the binary counter? who cares how many times did you modified a stock device?
Here is the guide that I followed. I didn't think to read the comments beforehand and now my phone is stuck in a reboot loop. It will stay on anywhere from 1-3 minutes and then it reboots. I don't have enough time to run towelRoot though.
http://www.andromods.com/root-unlock/i545vrufng6-ota-vzw-galaxy-s4.html
Also, when I tried to download TowelRoot from Towelroot.com it would open a new browser tab in chrome, and then continue to open more and more tabs, getting up to 15+ tabs. so theres that..
Even if I could get the phone to stop rebooting, towelroot is being weird. Maybe I need to long press the picture and 'Save As'??
idk what to do at this point.. I'd like to do what 'JunkMan' says in the comments "I had the multiple reboot and lock saver issues. I resolved them by putting the NG6 back, removing my screenlock and putting the TowelRoot icon on the home page. I then put the NC5 kernel back and I could get TowelRoot up and done before it rebooted again. I then restored the NG6 and it is working fine. For reboot issues after rooting and restoring NG6, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/ gala…-root-t2921584."
OR just go back to NC6 if i can't do anything else.
So I came here hoping for some help. does anyone have the nc6 tar/md5??

Ta da!
ng6 full and no wipe.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/i545vrufng6-4-4-2-wipe-odin-tar-t2924999.
Also, I would recommend you to follow xda guides rather than other sources. XDA is probably the most credible.
Hello there! When I was still on the NG6 Kernel, I had this issue after I tried rooting, too. What I did was downgrade to NC5, root, then back to NG6. Unfortunately, I also had the stupid rebooting problem. So, what I did was go into recovery mode and then factory reset. That stops the rebooting loop and keeps the root, for whatever reason. What I recommend, though, is to just downgrade to NC5 and keep it there. NG6 has given me quite a bit of trouble. (You can't use towelroot with NG6, either. By far, towelroot is the easiest way to root I've come across.) Since I can't give you a link, a quick google search of "NG6 kernel" should show you some results!
Oh! And for the issue with downloading towelroot in google chrome; for whatever reason, google chrome won't download it. You have to use the default internet explorer on the phone.
I'm on Build 1545VRUFNK4 and 4.4.2> tried towelroot but says device is not supported (tired 3 times). Aslo could not get Kingoroot to work.
Successfully rooted using Kingroot. Was thinking of playing it safe and installing CWM. Is there a recommended version? Also, how do I keep apps I'm deleting via RootAppDelete from immediately downloading and reinstalling. Somethng I need to disable?
How did you get KingRoot to work? The desktop version won't even open for me and the app has failed (although it does say no root available ) at least 30 times. I did have to flash the neutered OC1 file when I messed up trying to upgrade to OF1 so I guess its like taking an OTA, lost root.
Just followed the steps as prescribed.
I am unable to get a custom recovery set up. Every time I try and boot into recovery it goes into the "Downloading do not turn off target" mode and remains frozen. All steps to install TWRP and CWM are followed so not sure whats preventing either recovery from running . I have SCH-1545 with Android 4.4.2 and Build 1545vrufnk4. Can I even use TWRP or CWM or is Safestrap my only option?

For you if you don't have the MDK bootloader then Safestrap is your only recovery.
OK, and how do I confirm the MDK bootloader?
It should say in your phone settings under about phone. I've always thought of it as if you didn't buy a S4 right when they came out, you probably don't have the MDK one. You never know though so I'd check first. If you bought the phone and it was NK4 then you don't have the MDK.
Cannot find MDK anywhere...also there are many versions of safestrap for J this and J that - how do i find that?
I believe you'll need Safestrap 3.75. You'll need Busybox out of the playstore to make it work.
I'm new to the forum. I've been lurking here for the past couple of weeks trying to piece together a way to root my SCH i545 running 5.0.1 with the pl1 update so that I might get to the point of running a custom nougat rom. Yesterday I started trying to figure out how to get a custom rom loaded on it, but got nowhere. I've never done anything like this before.
So, today I came across this thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/update-1545vrsgpl1-t3537781 which linked me to the stang5litre rom. I thought I'd see if I could get that running. I downloaded kingoroot and got it rooted, confirmed by root checker. Then I downloaded SuperSU and tried to load it. I used Titanium Backup to remove the superuser, but when I tried to install the SuperSU it said that KNOX was interfering with the install. After some reading, uninstalled the KNOX using Titanium Backup and tried installing the SuperSU again. This time I got an error that said I needed to reboot. On rebooting, the phone makes it as far as the red Verizon screen and sticks.
It will still boot into the Recovery and Download modes. Can someone please tell me how to proceed from here?
Your best option is to start over by re-flashing it with stock PL1.
Then be careful during the superuser replacement process, that's when things went wrong basically breaking the system bootup.
Try using something like Super SUme to replace King with SSU.
