First, you can't unlock the bootloader on the PL1 Baseband.
Second, though KNOX is a part of the ROM, it also is a separate part within the bootloader. So when rooting the ROM, what happens is that whatever is disabled or uninstalled for KNOX, it's only affecting the KNOX within the ROM and not the bootloader as the bootloader is locked up tight.
Third, I'm not a fan of the KingRoot. I use the Wondershare Software on the PC to root the S4. The software also installs SuperSU for Root Management. I always recommend using the Wondershare PC Software.
I know that there are individuals who use KingRoot successfully but, for me, I find that it is too much work and can be a nightmare at times. I don't believe that KingRoot properly roots the device most of the time and can cause issues when implementing SuperSU.
I tried my best to explain this... I hope you understand what I stated.
The best of luck to you my friend!!!

TWRP is a bootloader program and, as I stated before, you can't unlock your bootloader. You can only root it.

Rooting before unlocking? Benefits of using Wondershare?
Have you also unlocked your phone? Do you recommend rooting before unlocking? Are you able to remove bloatware after using Wondershare?
What other apps or abilities have you used after rooting this build of GS4?
Thanks

I say root before carrier unlock. I don’t think it matters though. Once rooted with wonder share you will be able to remove bloat. All you can do is use flash fire to boot custom TW ROMS after rooting. You will need to be on the OF1 firmware though to boot most custom TW ROMS. I have written a guide here that may help you: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...al/guide-rooting-roming-sch-i545-pl1-t3846576

You can't install TWRP unless you're on the MDK firmware which if you updated your phone, you can't go back to MDK without bricking. However, you might can benefit from my GPL1 guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...al/guide-rooting-roming-sch-i545-pl1-t3846576

hi all
new from samsung to sony.
just curious, is it the only way you guys used to root or re-root xperia devices after updates with vroot, tools from DooMLoRD etc? i mean except those mentioned, nobody use other alternatives to root xperia devices (in general, not z tablet only)?
and thus if these tools are not compatible with new firmwares then u r not able to root your device in case the previous root was removed?

You can open the bootloader and then you will always be able to root (flash custom recovery, root, flash stock kernel).

and unfortunately, mine is bl unlock=no, just learnt this after i took it home and so unable to flash own kernels
oh yes, one more thing . couldnt managed to run adb in the recovery mode since windows cant find the drivers and i have tried many drivers already. any idea?

Then I guess you can only root with the exploits and need to be careful about upgrades.
Is it possible to downgrade with Flashtool on locked BL? I think it is (but it's confusing). If it is then you need to keep FTF of the current version in case you upgrade to a new version that can not be rooted.

I have same phone and also rooted with Kingroot and I not sure if its my best option atm and have 2 questions about it.
1. Is this the app that giving me the screen when phone is idle that trying to sell me something as I like to remove that screen.
2. How can I remove Kingroot and get a root that use Super SU or any other good root that working besides Kingroot?
I have a samsung galaxy s4 Verzion on android 5.0.1 and it's on the of1 update and wondering if theirs anyway to root it. I tried many other roots including towel root, King root, kingo root and all failed.

I'd love to know if this is possible, too. Now that I can't actually move apps over to my SD card on lollipop, rooting is a necessity. Unfortunately, Verizon and Samsung seem to be following Apple's mindset of not allowing hacking/customization. My phone updated to lollipop and OF1 version of lollipop in the middle of the night without my permission, and now it looks like I'm stuck with it.
There's no root as of now for OF1 but you should be able to Odin the downgrade back to OC1 via muniz post. He has a flashable tar file. The only way that'll work is if you didn't take the OTA and kept root. If you did the OTA and now have OF1 you're stuck for the moment.
so I've done tons of research and lots of people
including me are complaining because there
are no roots or root methods for the new i545vrugof1 update for the galaxy s4 Verzion. for people who didn't update, there are ways to keep your root when you update to of1 but for people who didn't update without flashing a rooted stock rom, there is no hope. you can't downgrade or root your device and you have no choice but to wait for a root method to come out or a new update. so anyone who is making a root for this specific firmware, please do so and help us out and remember to #rootvrugof1

I had successfully rooted I545VRUGOC1 using Kingroot but then I updated to I545VRUGOF1 through Smart Switch, and Kingroot doesn't work now. I've searched a lot but it seems root just isn't available for OF1 as for now. Is it possible that I downgrade back to OC1? Thanks
currently there's no way to root OF1 and you can't go down to any build below it, due to the fact that OF1 has a new bootloader.

are you sure mate? there are tutorials online about downgrading so I was just wondering if it's really impossible? I have the official I545VZWGOC1 firmware file downloaded on my PC, will it not work if I flash it on my phone (currently I545VZWGOF1) using Odin?

downgrading specifically this version?
The bootloader has been updated similar to the way it was from kitkat to lolipop, so downgrade is not possible.
Plenty of people [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/rooted-galaxy-s4-t3158098]here[/URL] and here have stated that OF1 bootloader is locked, with failures at downgrading to OC1 .
Go ahead and try it yourself, if you so desire. From my understanding people who tried gotten their phones soft bricked, though I have no idea how to fix.
I'm really interested to see this resolved too!
I just upgraded my phone from 4.4.2 NK1 yesterday to 5.0.1 OC1 and OC1 is still vulnerable to the stagefright bugs....
Could someone who is a developer explain to me why they can't just update the part of Android that needs to be patched..?

Damn I to would love to also see a root or bootloader hack for 5.0.1 OF1.
We have root for the OF1 update! Yes there is a root for this phone however I am having trouble installing the Super SU Binaries. Kingroot will root the phone if you off Knox and disable it. Next I downloaded SuperSU me and installed it on my device. Ran it, uninstalling Kingroot, then, SuperSU popped up asking to update binaries. Clicked yes, then normal and it is done.

Use Kingroot 4.9.6 to root. as soon as it says you have root stop. Then go install Super SU. It will then have you try to up[date binaries. Go download and install Super sume and run it. When Kingroot is uninstalled and done, Super SU will pop back up asking again for the binaries. lick yes and normal installation. Reboot and done. My device is exactly like yours.

You're in the same boat as me. I just bought my 6th ultra and it came with 5.1.1
Anyways to root it.
Goto kingroot.net download it. Install it on your pc. It's in Chinese but for the most part you should know what it is. Hook up your phone via USB once it detects the phone click root. Takes like 5 mind don't unhook it til it's done.

Were you actually able to get the Kingroot PC program to work? It completes "rooting" and reports success, but RootChecker app reports no root! So it's not working, I think.

Actually after posting that I found another thread and tried the Kingroot app, which surprisingly worked (unlike in the past) to root stock 5.1.1., locked bootloader and I then installed recovery & SuperSU! So I'm good, thanks!
download king root 4.5 basically this version as it allows super sume to work. Once you root it , download super sume 6.5 from blackmart not the pro one just the normal one. It will remove kingroot and install supersu.
prerequisite: bootloader unlocked ofcourse!
Hello people
i just bought mate 10 and it is awesome. i have some questions though. after i got the phone i got an update, updated it and unlocked bootloader and rooted it. now i got another update. so can i unroot, and apply update or do i need to relock bootloader also? i would re-unlock and root after update. i dont want to brick it cause im broke to buy credits on funkyhuawei lol. can i restore using hisuite if it got bricked?
current version is 8.0.0.119(c185)
new version in system update is 8.0.0.126(c185)
also is there any fix for AI scene detection after root? and lastly, i cannot install v4a on it. seems like selinux is always enforcing. when i change it with selinux changer, it is set to permissive but i restart the selinux app and it is on enforcing like it was never changed. what can i do about it?
thank you.
any help will be much appreciated.
also i would like to directly flash the latest firmware. can this be done on unlocked bootloader and root? any guide pls?

Not yet, unfortunately. It seems developement for this great phone is going to be slower this time around because I think Huawei made it so it's more difficult to build a custom recovery for it. I fear that unless someone puts a bounty on some sort of custom recovery for us (TWRP) it's gonna be awhile.
