If you want to flash roms you need to unlock the bootloader first.
If you still have a custom recovery and just lost root should be able to flash supersu.zip

I've tried motochop and the Odin method. Both of which leave the SU binary out no matter which way I make attempts at fixing it. The same error occurs and I'm one step further from getting wifikill back. Anyone interested in helping me solve this riddle ? I rooted the S3 no problem and this one proves to be much more difficult just by virtue of being the newer one I suppose.

Did you swap the stock kernel with the pre-release kernel? If not that is your issue. The stock kernel that came loaded on the phone has a root blocker. If you dont the root blocker wont allow the writing of the binaries to the phone from what i understand. You use Odin to swap the kernels, do the root then flash the original kernel back to the phone and presto, you're rooted.
If you did that then i have no clue. Other then you must have the motochopper with the updated SuperSU not Superuser.
I recently ran into a problem with my verizon samsung galaxy s4. I had been running numerous custom roms for a few months now and It started to get a big buggy when i was running cm 10.1 nightly so I decided to use the [GUIDE] No-Wipe Factory Images (Restore from any soft-brick without wiping data) to get back to stock software and flash a different rom. After rooted using motorchopper. However any I have tried rom now has a problem, I can't reset phone or it gets stuck in bootloop till I flash a different rom using twrp. It's really strange, also when botting the phone says samsung galaxy s 4 and it used to say samsung galaxy s4 unlocked. Is it possible my bootloader got messed up, I'm not sure what happened and the stock software sucks. I thought it might have accepted the ota update but I am still running VRUAMDK build so I dont think so. Any help would be great and appreciated.
Sorry if its something stupid, Thanks for a response Chris
You try going back to stock by Odin?

ODIN back to MDK. Then redo everything from there. I wouldn't try anything crazy with the recovery. If you accepted the OTA, you can root using the MD2 bootloader then use titanium back up to freeze a script (forgot which one but it's listed on here) to prevent the ME7 loader from being flashed.
I'm posting here because as a newbie, I'm not allowed to post in any dev forums, but . . .
I received the Verizon Galaxy S4 (SCHI545) yesterday, powered it on, activated it. It promply downloaded the I545VRUEMK2 update & asked me to install it, which I let it.
After reading the entire thread, I followed K1mu's post #1 instructions in the thread [ROOT] Saferoot: Root for VRUEMJ7, MK2, and Android 4.3
I took my time, because I wanted to make sure my Samsung USB drivers would communicate properly before taking the plunge. I had an older version of the drivers installed for my Droid Charge already (which were reported to work) but I wanted to test the ADB communications first.
After confirming that, i ran the batch file K1mu provided, & everything worked as expected. I rooted the Original Motorola Droid, the Samsung Droid Charge, & now this. I must say this was the easiest root I have performed.
Thanks to K1mu and all the helpful posters in that thread.

Would be nice if you actually post in a thread for the root.. this will probably get lost.
Just sayin...

Scratch all I wrote below. I see what you mean. There are already several ongoing threads right here! I should have added to one of the existing . . .
I tried to post in the developers section where the conversation is ongoing. I have not enough posts, and the mods will not allow me to post there. If you mean I should have posted to a particular rooting thread in the "General Forum" . . . point taken.
Thanks
With that. thread is closed ...
Sorry, but just not sure which forum to post my question in. Running a LG P769 phone with t-mobile OS. want to at least eliminate biggest room hogs which include t-mobile system apps and some I put in which now won't go fully away.
Need to get advice on the hopefully simplest root unroot method to employ.
Thanks for listening and for your help. Jim
Root unroot question. Which forum to use?
