How can I get full root, not temp root so I can uninstall and delete bloatware. I rooted it via odin but it will not uninstall because of temp root.

You installed a custom recovery through odin. Did you install super user? And if you did you need something like titanium back up or rom toolbox pro to uninstall pre-installed apps

Yes I did all that, super user does have access but every time I try with titanium it shows removed but when I reboot they show up again. I can't even rewrite in system with root explore

What method exactly did you use to gain root?
Cwm via odin and flashed zip fou superuser. Superuser is on there but I don't have full root

Did you install busy box? Titanium usually needs busy box to run the script to do a system app uninstall...if i remember correctly

root explorer or es file explorer and go into system/app/ and remove what you want gone my friend. It works everytime...
Thanks but I figured it out. My phone was acting super cracked out so I reflashed via Odin and used a different cwm tar and root zip file. Works good now, must have been a bad zip.

I need to take my phone back to sprint, the microusb port doesn't work. I need to know soon before losing the charge. >,< If no, i'll still lose root, right? So can I remove superuser and update?
If you're updating from the ROMs around here, you'll not be losing root. If you download an official OTA update from Sprint, you will.
If u accept the ota u will lose root but u will still have superuser in your app drawer.

So could I remove the app using titanium or something after I lose root? Is there any way to?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Usually not, as the Superuser app is normally installed in the /system partition, which requires root to modify.

No u need root for titanium backup to work plus superuser is in system/app which needs root access. Best way to unroot is to use sfhub auto root and unroot tool in the development section. That would do it for u.

Unrooting using Auto Root doesn't actually need a computer. Only the rooting needs a computer. You can just transfer the Auto Root folder onto an sdcard and place it in the sd slot in your phone. Then run the unroot script from terminal.
You can also just unroot using root explorer, it just isn't automated, so you have to remember what to remove.
there's a Superuser.apk in /system/app, a data folder in /data/data, symlinks to busybox in /system/xbin, binaries for su and busybox in /system/bin and /system/xbin
It might be cleaner to use Mobile ODIN to flash a stock ROM.
Holy crap, thank you. You're a lifesaver ^^

In order to flash custom roms you need a custom recovery and to get one you gotta flash it via Odin...

Sure, it's called SuperSUv0.96CWM.zip and is only flash-able from custom recovery (CWM/TWRP).
No matter how you slice it, you WILL need ODIN at one point or the other to root these Samsung phones. You have 2 methods:
Flash custom recovery via odin, then flash supersu.zip (Up's custom counter by 1) But can be erased with triangle away
Or
Flash the full rooted stock image via Odin (Will give you root, but no custom recovery. No added count on flash counter)
Oh ok. Just got the phone and dont have my laptop for another week, so it looks like im gonna have to wait for a littlebit

Don't you have friends or family?
You don't need ODIN to install TWRP recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809313
And after you install TWRP recovery, you can root with the zip file that you can d/l from the following thread:

Yes, you are right. Goo Manager does need root permission. My bad.
There's no way I can think of to root without ODIN then.
Can't you use the adb method from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766552 then flash the superuser zip?
lol nvm
i went back to stock for lh9, and i read somewhere that u can root any build with the toolkit and so i tried using that way to root my phone, and it supposedly flashed cwm onto my phone, but when i boot into recovery to flash su, its like a different one, guessin the stock recovery because theres no option for install from zip help anyone??
Maybe this post will help:

I just realized that you won't be able to remove those files without root. You should first check whether you have the files or not. If you don't, then I'm not sure what's going on.
If you do, you need to uncheck the box in Odin to reboot your phone when you flash the custom recovery. When the Odin flash is done, pull the battery, put it back in, then boot into recovery by holding Vol Up, Home, and Power until you see the little blue text. That should get you into custom recovery. From there you can flash su and Superuser.
At this point you have a choice. You can reboot, but it will replace your recovery with stock. You'll still have root though. You'll need to remove the files and reflash a custom root either with Odin, the dd method, or using ROM Manager or GooManager.
The other choice is to use adb while you're booted into the custom recovery and remove the files before you reboot.

Did you try to root with the toolkit then you install a custom recovery and finally you install busy box. Still with the toolkit

I did use tool kit to root guess ill try unchecking the box to reboot after odin I dont think it worked though. Is su supposed to work if i download it from the app store after I try the root through toolkit? Or does it have to be flashed into it

NVM you dont have root i misread your post....You could use odin to flash lg1 with root injected and then use rootkeeper app to preserve root then take the update to lh9 thats what i did. Gunnyman wrote a post about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895100

If you do flash LG1, be sure to do a factory reset in recovery before you boot to LG1 or you'll get errors from android.process.acore. If you do this with stock recovery, you'll lose all the picture, sound, and video files you have on the internal storage.

If all you do is root your stock ROM, then no; the only change is that you will have superuser access and have the ability to remove whichever bloat apps you wish. If you flash a different modified stock ROM, then the OP from which you download the ROM should tell you what apps have been removed; although as long as you go with the modified stock ROMs, you will still have S Beam, NFC, etc.

Are you running the original stock rom on your M919 Galaxy S4 phone?
If you are using the original stock rom M919UVUAMDB firmware then follow the instructions below.
Here is how to root your phone
Download Motochopper here: [URL="http://vulnfactory.org/public/motochopper.zip"]Motochopper [/URL]
Extract the contents of the motochopper.zip file into a new folder on your windows desktop.
Make sure USB Debugging mode is enabled on your phone.
Connect your phone to your PC computer with the usb cable.
Navigate to the new folder you have made and double click the "run.bat".
Approve the ADB connection from your computer on your phone.
If all goes well and you see no errors this will root your phone and flash superuser.
NOTE: goomanager will not work if you are NOT rooted.
Once you do this successfully the next step is to flash a recovery so go to the google playstore and install the free app called goomanager.
After its installed open the app and click the menu key then select "Install OpenRecoveryScript" and wait until it gets done flashing.
Then in goomanager select the "reboot recovery" option and it should boot into TWRP Touch recovery.
Good luck!
Ok so the story goes like this:
I have stockorama V2
Stock kernel
I was trying to install busybox with busybox installer from the play store, but it said I didn't have root access
So I went to superSU and did the uninstall from the app itself
Rebooted, installed superSU from play store, it told me to update su binary. Then it failed.
when I try to open SuperSU it says that "I don't have su binary... ...that's a problem" and then closes the app
I think I lost root, but I was wondering is there anyway to get it back without a PC.
I still got twrp recovery so I can still flash stuff

You can flash SuperSU via recovery using the link in my signature. Stockorama includes busybox. Don't install it.

Not sure if its any different than Aerowinders, but you can try SuperSU linked in my sig. Or use Superuser, you should find both there.

Flash it in twrp 2.5 I think, did it 2 times... same thing
Its weird because I still get a toast (when I bootup) that lightflow gets superuser permisions; but when I open Titaniumbkp it gets stuck on a message "asking for root rights"
Btw superSU is as a system app so I can't uninstall before flashing the supersu.zip you guys gave me.

You don't uninstall, just flash over the old one. And wipe the data for it also.

Well, make a nandroid backup just in case. I dont suggest using it as it may just bring back the problem. But you will at least have everything backed up if you need it later.
Aside from that, you can use the recoveries built in file manager. Also you could boot into recovery and then try to ADB pull what ever you need.
But I would reflash your rom. You only need to wipe dalvik if it is the same rom you are using now. But if that doesnt fix it you will need to do a factory reset at that point.
