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

Did you flash the no wipe tar?...if so use the full wipe tar file...you will lose your app data but it will restore to 100% full unrooted mdk...the all in one will work after that

Sorry...I missed that you are on mk2...flash the full stock Odin tar for that version...the all in one package doesn't work on mk2...before flashing stock in Odin try the saferoot for 4.3...it should get you your full root access

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

Don't use gamekiller or gamecih - apparently they won't work on a SELinux enforcing-mode phone.

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.

Which roms does safestrap enable one to install?
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.

I looked at the Forum rules and didn't see anything against posting the link, so here it is:

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.

I'm not trying to get a new rom but I would liek TWPR recovery so I can make a complete backup just in case, and I need to remove eth battery eating bloatware
whats eth best way to make a permanent rook on this thing, I'm running Straight talk if that info is needed also
I need step by step designed for an old man LOL
King root from a pc. Then search for supersume or Uninstall kinguser and install supersu via the terminal method. The latter is the cleaner way and paves the way for stang5litre edition rom.
You'll need flash fire. No twrp on TouchWiz lolliopop.
---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------
BTW after obtaining root, install titanium backup and freeze or Uninstall sdm. That's the over the air updater that breaks root.
Kingroot doens' work on this one. I tried and it failed.
With king root you might to try a few times. I tried 5 or 6 times before it worked for me. Keep trying.

http://www.kingroot.net/ is the official kingroot site. the installer and program for desktop was all in Chinese the last time i checked. remember to turn on USB debugging when you do it. it's basically plug in let it detect your phone, allow computer to do debugging and click a button for it to complete root.
from another thread one person had a some problems rooting with kingroot, if the following happens, you should uninstall kingroot and restart comp before trying again as some people mentioned that just turning the program off doesn't completely reset it

Hi, I'm having issues with step 5. There isn't any green button that comes up. The first time I run the kingroot after reinstalling it, it shows just a blue button after thinking for several seconds.
(I can't figure out how to attach an image to my post, and apperently links aren't allowed either...) i.imgur.com/8BilQtT.png
After clicking the blue button, it goes to this screen: i.imgur.com/wScf2TT.png
There's a checkmark there, but my phone is not rooted. It did install KrHelper4Pc to my phone though.
Subsequent runs of kingroot (without reinstalling) show this after thinking for several seconds: i.imgur.com/HVmqOLm.png
I've tried this several times and the exact same thing happens each time.

It was submitted seeking adaptation made

So I'm guessing the first pic, after detecting your phone, stated that there was it could not find a way to root
and the blue button only was you sending a submission request to developers to find a way to root it

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

Mine is a S4 Unlocked Verizon phone and I'm on OF1 also there's a thread somewhere with links, but what you have to do us Odin the OC1 kernel, then use wonders have and click the "one click root" then after your fine if you get security warnings lijd I fid reflash the OF1 kernel. That's what I did and I now gave a rooted. Unlocked S4 and I even flashed the stock detoxed rom, just whatever you do DO NOT TRY FLASHJNH A VUSTOM RECOVERY (yea I did that before I read it all)

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.

want to root sch i545
I have the exact same phone and problem. I would not try to root unless there is an easy way as I don't know enough about how it works if the solution is complicated. Please post as soon as you find a way to root it Thanks
