Kingroot to SuperSU - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hi
I have the S4 Verizon OF1 and I want to install Stang5litre, but at the time of switching from Kingroot to superSU, it gives me many errors and I simply lose the Kingroot and that's it. I tried twice with the execution of a code in the terminal:
"sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh"
And the first time (with the latest version of Kingroot) did not work, he simply made many mistakes and eliminated Kingroot.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now that I did it for the last time with an earlier version of Kingroot and running the same code, it gave me a lot of errors and in the terminal they asked me if I wanted to cancel any action, press Enter, etc. until he stopped asking. When I restart the phone, I find SuperSu v2.49, but it does not update the binary files. Then I uninstalled it and wanted to go back to root with Kingroot, but it does not let me install it, I can not install the application.
I add that the phone seems to recognize the root, but since there is no application to authorize this permission, it does not. I say this because I have root applications, and when I open them they are waiting for root authorization, something that did not happen when the phone was not root
I hope someone helps me

You can either remove kingroot and all of its files manually using a root file explorer like root browser from the play store and then install superSU v2.49 (which is what I had to do) OR get the paid SuperSuMe app also from the play store which will automate everything and remove kingroot for you.

OF1, KingRoot 5.3 -> Super-SUme->root kept and KR gone
I'd soft-bricked my SCH-I545, then had to wipe and Odin-flash to stock to get it back. Then I used KingRoot 5.3 and got it rooted easily. But then of course, I really didn't like the extra mysterious apps and wanted to get back to SuperSU. Mind you, I'd rooted that Verizon-bugger the hard way the first time, and due to bad habits, had not taken notes and constructed my own tutorial along the way, as a good techie would. D'OH!
Carefully read the notes for Super-SUme... it will get it done for you if you can shell out the Google Play credit. (I did, to punish myself for the above laziness). Especially follow the advice on changing the default KR settings before running Super-SUme (The notes and advice are in the "read more" section on Google Play...)

KingRoot is gone as far as I can tell, then It's Titanium Backup and multiple restore attempts and etc etc manually rebuilding what doesn't restore.... and you are back to your S4.

Well that's good to know. Wish I could have gone that route. I had to remove king root manually with root browser.

Hi, I'm sorry I responded so late, but I didn't have time to check the notifications.
Ok, I used ODIN to install OF1 again, it took me 3 tries. But then it settled well and I did not have the problems that caused the change from Kingroot to SuperSu. Now the problem is that it will not let me install Kingroot. At the time of installing the application says "the application could not be installed"
I want to root with SuperSU because I want to install Stang5litre.
I have some experience in installing Roms, but I had never had a phone with the Bootloader blocked

Perhaps I misunderstood your OP. I didn't think your goal was to keep KingRoot. I thought you wanted a rooted SCH-I545 and to try stang5litre. I think if you want to have a good experience with stang5litre you want to have SuperSU on your phone as the root administrator, rather than KingRoot (and you realize, I hope, that you can only have one or the other, not both...right?)
The program I reported on (Super-SUme") first uses, then *removes* KingRoot, after you have installed KR onto a stock ROM. SuperSU, itself, cannot root your SCH-I545 from stock ROM, that takes KR (or another pathway) as a steppingstone. But then Super-SUme converts your SCH-I545 root to SuperSU, and in a noob-friendly way removes KR, with all it's wide-ranging permissions, from your phone. Download ("RootCheck" by Joey Krim as one example of) a rootchecker, and see if it can verify root.
If it verifies you have a root admin via SuperSU set up, and if you want the 'stang5litre' ROM pkg you should be ready to try flashing it. I believe the process (recommended elsewhere on XDA) uses "flashfire" (another app.) I did not go there. I only rooted my S4 and am keeping SuperSU on it as root administrator....
I might try out the 'stang someday. But for now I am debloating manually with Titanium Backup (Pro) "freeze" function.
--> If you successfully flashed a stock OF1 and immediately after that: You could not get KingRoot 5.3 to root your SCH-I545 ? (again, you can use a rootchecker app to verify root even if it's via KR)
...If this is where you are stalling, maybe someone else in the community has advice (?) All I have for you is a wish for good luck. There are other ways to root the SCH-I545 but none are easy. The trouble with the Verizon version of the S4, ultimately, is that the bootloader is booby-trapped, rather than locked. Some microcoded firmwarey lit'l landmines occasionally referred to as Q-fuses, I think.... If you try to flash your SCH-I545 to an earlier stock ROM (whether trying just to root, or if you haven't yet found out that you can't have an actual custom ROM)... ... if you try that, reports have woefully told, a "fuse" blows and then it's you, your soldering iron, and a hard brick. Get back on here with pics and detailed howto for a hand-soldered chip-swap and you will be a hero. (Not like me. I stand on the shoulders of giants, here, if I'm having a lucky day.)
