Hey, I'm have the VZW s4 running on straight talk. I am running a rooted, stock 0F1. I rooted using kingroot. Now my problem is that kingroot is currently by default my root manager. I know that I need to update the binary for supersu, have the zip file ready to go and have flashfire installed. However, without supersu installed, flashfire won't recognize kingroot and won't let me flash anything. Is there a way I can flash this through Odin or the stock recovery. Thank you to anyone who can help and if you need more info or sc's just let me know

I just updated my device from MK6 to NA7. My device was rooted..But obviously it is not rooted anymore after the upgrade. However, the same method i used to root MK6 isn't working for NA7. Any advice on how to regain root access? In the mean time i went back to MK6 and re-rooted my device until i can root the newer version..then i will re-update and root.
If you have Phil's touch recovery then go to Phil's settings and re root and after booting install supersu from play store and update binaries the normal way after opening app.. else go to chain fire thread of supersu and download zip file and flash it through recovery...

A new methode is to download this apk from here: https://towelroot.com
And after that install supersu, you should have root access now

Sometimes after installing a rom i loose root flashing super su from recovery always fixed this problem
you should get recovery on you phone via odin then backup your stock rom then install super su zip from recovery
If you faced any problems then restore.
If you are asking if anybody tried i guess most s3 i9300 users rooted years ago on this site with old method.
You might have to be the 1st one or wait until somebody else does.
I rooted my LG G3 with StumpRoot. Everything went fine and I had successful root. Checked it and all. Then I flashed the new Barren ROM (v1) and I lost root. I tried re-running StumpRoot and StumpRoot is claiming I already have my device is already rooted. However, any application that requires root or Superuser, it says that root is not detected. I have Superuser on my phone.
Did you flash through TWRP?
Can you still boot into recovery, and does TWRP come up as your recovery?
This ^^^^^
I have no idea how you can lose root when it's built into it.
Now if you took the OTA update then you will lose root.
Then you have to revert back to zv4 via Flashtool if you want root again.
The FAQ, and the ZV6 threads have all to info you need.

I don't know how I lost root either. I did not do any OTA updates. All I did was "Update Profile" to get my data working again. I've rooted and flashed roms on many phones, never had this issue until the G3.

Did you unlock the bootloader with "Bump", so you have TWRP?
Then just flash the Rom again. Or any Rom for that matter

I downloaded the TWRP listed on some thread on Sprint LG G3 then used flashify on my rooted G3 to flash it, after that I flashed the custom ROM using TWRP.
Since then, I tried to boot into recovery (power+volume down) and it just booted into safe mode.
Also, if/when I do boot it into recovery, should I also try flashing a SuperSU rom too?

The only thing I can think of is that the download was corrupt. I would try flashing TWRP with Flashify again. If that works, then reinstall SuperSU. That should get you root back. Then download a ROM again, verify the MD5, and flash in TWRP.
If Flashify won't run, then try reinstalling SuperSU, and see if that helps. If not, I think you'll have to revert to the stock ZV4 ROM with LG's Flashtool.
I suggest the Barrin V2 ROM. It's the latest version of Barren, built on the ZV6 ROM instead of ZV4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/development/rom-barrin-odexed-deodexed-t2950747
I tried using flashify and it gave me an error saying I needed root. I tried booting intorecovery husing the instructions and it either just boots up regularly or goes into safe mmode. Have I bricked my phone to this Rom?
Revert to stock as explained here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...de-how-to-restore-sprint-lg-g3-ls990-t2852042
Then reroot, and start over.
I rooted my Galaxy S4 using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798
Rootchecker shows root access. However, I cannot get TWRP or CWM to flash. I tried CWM through ROM Manager and TWR through GooManager. ROM Manager reports a good install but when I reboot to recovery it is stock recovery.
Any help would be appreciated.
Please tell me you're already read the (many) threads about basebands and build numbers and custom recoveries.

Plenty of threads about this but let me help you out here.
What build number are you on? Any build number other than MDK have no known way to flash a custom recovery due to a locked bootloader. However if you read into some of the safestrap threads you can install a select few modified roms built for SS.

Currently I'm on Global rom 8.1.2.0 ROOTED with SuperSU and Xposed Framework ..
Lately, update of 8.1.3.0 has been rolled out,
so I would like to update my device..
Since ROOTED device does not receive OTA update, I like to UNROOT first and then root it again after update..
Anyone cares to help me in this case?
I need a guide to fully unroot and remove the xposed framework so OTA update can be achieve..
Thanks all
I think just Reflash your MIUI room . then dont root it .
Or if you have SuperSU . i think it have option to "Full Unroot" .
You can't manually download it and update through updater app? It should restart with twrp instead of stock recovery and install the new version i guess

I dont see anyone uploaded the OTA file for 8.1.3.0 from 8.1.2.0 around 200MB..
moreover, I heard people said the OTA file only can be flashed using stock recovery & non-rooted device. if rooted you will fail .
OTA Update

Absolutely correct, you must never update OTA with Custom recovery. This will lead to a bricked phone and you'll then have to clean flash the stock rom(Erases Internal Storage). Unfortunately, I learned the hard-way and landed-up losing all the data in my Internal Storage.

You can very well uninstall Xposed and full-unroot SuperSU, however, I'm not sure whether it will be needed.
I would suggest taking a FULL NANDROID backup including Internal Storage and then performing the following steps (at your own risk):
Perform full-unroot from SuperSU app
Uninstall Xposed from TWRP
Flash stock recovery from TWRP
Update OTA from Updater App
Flash TWRP
Flash Xposed & SuperSU from TWRP
Btw, how did you get OTA update for 8.1.3.0 when its still not listed in the website?
Even if the ota is downloaded in .zip format? I remember a xiaomi forum where the op explained that he updated his Rom with twrp using updater app without issue. I must say he didn't downloaded via updater app but on a dedicated thread and then selected the Rom in the updater app menu.
Sorry if my guess was a Bad Idea and can lead to soft brick !!
i have just used the twrp recovery to get the full root
