Just bought a Galaxy S4 with build number LRX22C.I545VRUGOF1.
I've already tried using Wondershare MobileGo! I was waiting more than an hour and it would just say: "Reading data, this may take a minute."
What Should i do? I'm desperate to root this MF'er

When I used wondershare I found that if the screen went to sleep it would not work, also you must have USB debugging enabled for it to work

ok so yes i do have USB debugging enabled.. also i have windows 8.1 running in VirtualBox with linux as host. u think that may be a problem as well or nah?
--also how long would u say it should normally take to root with MobileGo
It took me around 5 minutes. I have no idea what effects vbox would have on the program

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.

Need help so lost try to make it as short as possible.
Phone Info:
- Samsung Galaxy S4 Verizon
- Model SCH-I545
- Build JSS15J.I545VRUEMK2
- Android 4.3
Ok, I tried Rooting my Phone and I use the Soft Root that was linked by someone on the forums. Gave me SuperUser Icon and used a app that checks to see if its Rooted and said it was. Now tried using some Root app's like GameCih and it tells me I need Root Admin or Root Privileges, something to that nature, and cant use the app. Iv been trying to remove that Soft Root but cant Figure it out. Used Odin3 and redid that .tar file for my Build. All when good and got everything the same as a fresh phone, but booting up still has the Pad Lock Icon and Custom logo on it and SuperU Icon. So I cant seem to unroot it, Tried to use the I545ALL-IN-ONE-TOOL posted on these forums but cant get it to working.
So what I need so to get this unrooted and back to factory default, and Rooted the right way, with I545ALL-IN-ONE-TOOL??. Please Help

That is what I used is the Saferoot, wasnt sure of the name, but just looked it up and thats what i have on my pc. Also I dont know how to flash it.. do I use the same Odin3 program for that? or is there another method.(Also is the Full wipe a different tar file?)
Edit: Ok I got it Flashed and back to stock now is there anything other then SafeRoot? that did not work the first time I tried it.

There are a few other methods...but I don't know them...I do know the other methods safety and security was questionable... Hence saferoot was made by trusted devs here...it should work...all the posts I have seen said they got successful root...did you open the supersu app that was installed and allow it to update binaries?... That is a very important step...if you did then make sure if you try this method again you follow each step it tells you...I don't know exactly how the process goes as I'm on4.2.2 and have to use the all in one tool for root...good luck...if it doesn't work hopefully someone who can help will chime in

Nope, I have no idea what these applications do, but a quick search on the forums basically leads to the conclusion that they're not ready for 4.3.
Given the build you're running, you're stuck with SELinux Enforcing since you can't replace the kernel. You'll need to find something else to do whatever you're trying to do.

These exact steps are already posted...
And you can install any ROM with Safestrap
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.

AfterRoot
after it is rooted, will it still have the same build with all the info or will it be a factory default?
First post, I didn't see one about this already and want to let everyone know.
geohot has made it possible to root our VZW Stock Note 3 NC4 KitKat 4.4.2 via the website www.towelroot.com/
It's the most simple root tool I have ever used hands down. Go to the site on your mobile browser, click the lambda, download and run APK right on your phone. Device will reboot and you will have root. Just did this on my note 3 last night. Only thing I think you have to check is to make sure your kernel has a date of before June 3.

That worked. Root worked. SuperSU disabled knox. Awesome.
I got the worst of all possibilities. Installed towelroot, ran it, did not get SuperSu, but on restart, it shows as "Custom" which means that Knox was tripped. What are my options now? Running latest NC4 OTA update.

Not necessarily, boot into download mode and check know there. My phones said it since day 1 when I got it and threw on a custom rom. My Knox though is still 0x0. As I said you can check that on your download screen. I used towel root on another phone with no issues as well.
I installed towelroot, then used root checker to verify, then downloaded and installed supersu, then rebooted and let supersu disable knox. I'm on NC4 latest. It worked perfectly.
I didn't see the flash nc2 firmware via Odin, boots to black screen, I have no computer only note 10.1 tablet and vzw note 3. Anything I can do to get it back with out a computer?

No you will need to find access to to a computer to fix it. Keep it powered off or pull battery till such time you find someones pc to use.
Tried it exactly how you said. Got root, but it says SuperSu is missing the latest binary. I downloaded it and installed fiddle from the website.
But the important thing is I got titanium working so a big Thanks from me!

There's the tar files you flash in odin, full wipe and no wipe. Surge hasn't updated the OP of that thread in awhile so some of what it says is incorrect but the files are still good of course.

i don't prefer to flash files because this may make soft brick or play with bootloader.
the hateful thing in android is the bootloader especially on samsung devices.much sensitive.

It's a tar file for Odin, samsung's own firmware software. Those are the files and Odin is the tool that saves you from a soft brick.

i know a lot about tar files and i have flashed my phone many times via odin...i didn't use ota...always odin.
but i mean about some custom tar files or unsuitable files may cause soft brick.

I'm not following you at all.
You want to root. You started with a program (vroot) which is not known to work on Kit Kat. But you think that it's OK, because it's Chinese. Then you refuse to use Samsung signed factory images to recover your phone. Why? Because they're from Japan?
On a clean NC5 build, Towelroot seems to root just fine. Why not use that?

why are you angry like that.
i didn't refuse to use samsung factory images...i have used them many times to recover from soft brick...i have bricked my phone about 5 times..
this happen because play sytem files or build.prop file.
not matter for me if i used factory images from china or japan....iam not japaness or chiness.
my image was clean but only towel root dosen't work for me so i use the two programs...ok
vroot has been updated to work with kitkat if you have the latest version of it...but on some device may not work properly but it can push su file into /system/xbin....thank you.

Angry? No, just confused as I said. You seemed to be worried about running Odin, an official Samsung application to flash factory stock ROMs but don't seem to have any problems running programs like vroot. Maybe the vroot owners have reformed, so maybe it's time to look. However, it seems very likely that they've just tweaked Towelroot, as vroot couldn't root Kit Kat before Towelroot came out. If so, then they should be telling geohot how to make it work on more models rather than diverting contributions from geohot. But then again, they've never been a part of the community. Their choice, of course.
i have runing odin many times to restore/update phone rom.
I had to restore my phone. I'm trying to re-root it. I used MobileGo to root the first time about 1 month ago. I've uninstalled, stopped the service they leave behind. Then hunted down and deleted the 3 directories they leave behind as well after uninstalling. Then I scrub my registry with ccleaner.
No matter what I try it continues to say it's expired. Anyone know whats up? Maybe a way around this?
The only alternative I know of is to use Kingroot. But when I goto the linked page to download the desktop app it always fails.
Is there another way to gain root for my sch-i545 of1 android version 5.0.1 phone?
Every root variation I seemto find using search either lists kingroot or MobileGo. As stated i cant currently use either. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Did you get root?
