[Q] Lost root with 4.1.2 update, how can I re-root?

I lost root with the 4.1.2 update and I'd like to get it back. I went a little crazy with all the Gameloft deals and ended up with about 16 gigs worth of games, so I had to root to be able to use Titanium Backup to store everything on my SD card. I was running the stock ROM just rooted and didn't uninstall or change anything. I can't find anything else about how to gain root after the update that doesn't require flashing anything. Is there a one click option for me?

1. Download the apk from this thread and install it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050297

Well, that was easy.
Thanks!

A Freakin' Amazing!
I also lost root during my AT&T 4.1.2 update, tried re-rooting via Odin, did 3 softbricks & resets & basically had given up on root. Then I stumbled upon this method, tried it & can't believe that anyone would rather root via Odin. Thank you so much!!!!!!!

I want \ need to root my note, is this the preferred method?

Did you use cf auto root by chainfire. If not what root method did you use .And what version of odin did you use it should be version 3.07
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium HD app

i used this method
androidrootz.com/2013/05/how-root-cwm-recovery-on-galaxy-s4-gt.html
I used odin 1.85
I flashed to a google edition rom and it works now! I really wanted to use the stock rom.
thanks.

Wrong wrong wrong.that isn't the correct method. And you went to another website outside of xda and come back to xda for help that's a no no.and that isn't how it works here on xda .number one dont for get this stick with xda dont download any programs or zip files that isn't associated with xda if you do it will be considered warez and you want get any help .now this is what you need to do get that crap off of your pc all of it
Next come back to xda and download the correct version of odin 3.07 and download cf auto root by chainfire and before you flash anything make sure you read the op and follow the directions to the letter no short cuts anyway I see you got to work for you happy flashing

I found the link in the xda under "Welcome To the Complete Guide for Just About Anything for T-Mobile Galaxy S4!"
i know that the links are outside xda.
now i am trying to unroot with odin 3.07, but the links are from the other website. i am just going back to stock and they try to root again using the cf auto root by chainfire. that should work, right?

thanks everyone!
i got it to work, i followed the instructions to unroot and to reset the counts. some how after all that even if i got everything to say it was official, i was getting the message that says that there was a program trying to execute on the phone and to prevent i had to reboot, but i was just a loop, and the wifi wasnt working, so after the unroot and the reset count i had to flash with odin one more time using the offcial stock rom, and only after that the wifi work and the message went away. i did wipe cache and data several times during the process.
thanks

Root Galaxy S 3 Using Mac

Just received a new T-Mobile SGS3 with 4.3 preloaded. Any way to root it only using a Mac? I've tried several old methods including motochopper to no avail.

Maybe try this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563955

You can use Mobile ODIN and still get the job done.

How can I use Mobile Odin without having root already?

Since you only need it to flash Recovery, it may work during Reboot. Try CF Auto Root otherwise.

Can't mac run a VM to run a windows or Linux.

TWRP provides a .tar file so you can Odin. Its not much more trouble, and it works.

So it seems the method you said didnt work for me .
I used CF auto root on odin 3.09, i got the cf auto root from here http://download.chainfire.eu/280/CF...uto-Root-t0lteatt-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.zip
i was unable to flash TWRP through the TAR they supplied on their website and goomanager still doesnt seem to want to start the download.
Everytime after i CF auto root as soon i get to the home screen supersu sends a message that "unfortunately, supersu has stopped" without me even clicking on it or performing an action.
do you happen o have any other suggestions or links of where you got your cf auto root.

It says super su has stopped because its outdated so after it pops up go to the app store and update supersu to 2.01 & you can disable knox

After flashing TWRP again, pull battery out when you see “PASS!” in ODIN, then boot straight into recovery by putting the battery back on and using the buttons, you should see TWRP recovery now.

Run cf auto root again and then go on the play store see if there is an update for supersu if not open the app and it might say something like the binary is outdated then it should give you an option to do it normal or twrp or cwm and do the normal one and it should say pass or something like that then to reboot the phone
