i want to root my m919 on uvuamdl
will cf auto root work on this update?
will i loose my data upon rooting
after i root my s4, i want to unroot and update back to the latest update can i do this? without my data being wiped n starting all over again, most likely use mobile odin? will my root changes still be applied, i want to add mobile data toggle
and how can i back up everything before hand
CF auto root does work with M919. I did that method. U will not lose your data with CF Auto root (using odin). U can easily unroot in the SuperUser app. If u want to install custom ROM, install a custom recovery using Goo Manager app in the play store (Team win recovery) or ROM manager (clock work mod recovery). You can backup your entire ROM using custom recovery.

I was bone stock never rooted with factory rom . downloaded odin cwm and jedi x9 , flashed cwm via odin got the green pass went into recovery and it said android system recovery not cwm recovery like im used to tried to flash x9 and signature verification failure went back to choose a package to install and now have a blue progress bar moving extremely slow.
I never rooted or reverted to stock before on this device. everything I outlined again was from a factory rom device that has never previously been rooted.
is this all corect what im seeing?
You need to root first, if you havent already, and if your not rooted then
A) if you have already installed the lastest OTA (patching the xploit) then you need to verify the "new way" of rooting for your device variant
B) if you havent installed the patched OTA then you can root various ways with ODIN+files or there are even toolkits to simplify a variety processes
Once your rooted then you can titanium backup all your apps n data, then odin CWM or TWRP, use either custom recovery to nandroid back up your stock rom, then flash jedi x9
Essentially, unless the new OTA xploit Patch has changed the root process for you device variant, you will be flashing a stock-root_injected rom (that has SuperSU, etc)... use a "root checker" to make sure youre rooted

Fixed Thanks guys . I had " auto reboot " checked on Odin during CWM flash UNCHECK AUTO REBOOT or flashing CWM wont work .
Hey guys,
I know there are tons of Superuser apps and root methods such as cf autoroot but I'm hoping someone knows is how to root the S4 (SGH-M919) and have Koush's Superuser.apk be your SU client. I don't want to use Chainfire or SuperSU or anything else. It seems 4.3 for me will only accept SuperSU but I was hoping to use the CWM Superuser as I do on all of my other devices. Would hate to have a different SU just on this one device. Any ideas on how to get superuser.apk working on 4.3 on the S4 (Stock, custom recovery, rooted with SuperSU for now).

Method 1
Use Odin to install a custom recovery of your choice.
Boot to recovery.
Flash any Superuser.apk you want.
Using Odin to install the recovery won't root the current ROM. It will just give you a custom recovery. From the custom recovery you can install anything you want, including the Superuser.apk of your choice.
Method 2
Root it using whatever root method works even if it installs SuperSU.
Uninstall SuperSU through the 1 click feature in the app.
Boot to your custom recovery. (Will NOT be automatically installed with CF Auto Root. You will have to flash a recovery after rooting)
Flash Superuser.
Reboot. Enjoy goodness.

Hey SkipJacks! Thanks for the quick reply. Method 2 seems to be the closest for me but it seems to be a no go with Koush's SuperUser. It looks like it relies on some binaries that never download and it won't use the ones that SuperSU installs. I guess I'm gonna have to use SuperSU for now. Thanks again. I just prefer Koush's to Chains and Chainfires. Everything was working fine on 4.2.2 but from 4.3 on it's only been SuperSU.
I'm beginning to think it's broken as many people are saying the same thing.
i cant get my stock ROM rooted i been trying to root my SM-N900T for the last 2 nights. ive tried CF-Auto Root and update-SuperSU threw CWM. i did get the CWM recovery installed with out a issue i just cant get it rooted. i want to put on a new ROM. can i just cut out the root and go straight to the ROM i want with CWM?
Cf auto root is flashed through Odin, not CWM. I started with cf auto root through odin, then twrp through odin, then roms through twrp.

Hello All,
I recently flashed KitKat 4.4.2 successfully but now I need to re-root. I see dodgy posts about rooting certain ways. Can someone please point me to the right direction in the easiest and safest way to root on KitKat? Thanks!

You can use CF Auto Root to re-root the phone. The only problem is this method will trip the Knox warranty void counter which can't be reset at this time. You flash it through odin and after it roots, you need to disable Knox. To do that, download (or update) SuperSU and when you run it for the first time, it will give you an option to disable Knox for the root to fully work. Finally, you can install the custom recovery. While this is optional, this is strongly recommended. You can use CWM or TWRP by downloading from either ROM Manager or Goo Manager depending on what recovery you want. After doing that, you should have a fully working root
Download CF Auto Root: http://download.chainfire.eu/233/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-d2spr-d2spr-sphl710.zip
You can also flash the SuperSU zip after using Odin to flash a custom recovery (I recommend philz)

Hi,
I signed up just to get help because I'm extremely frustrated.I have gotten the Kit Kat update for my t-mobile s4 and now I can't root my phone again. I have tried to root my phone using Chainfire Auto root md5 file (jfltetmo-sghm919.tar.md5) & Odin 3.09. I have follow the simple directions as I'm done several times before to flash the root files onto my phone then Odin tells me that it passed. but when i tested with root checker app, the app along with other apps that request superuser permissions, tells me that my device is not rooted. I have tried to root my phone several times using different computers and I have no clue why my phone will not root. in download mode my device states that the knox void has been tripped & the binary is custom. this leaves me scratching my head please help!
What firmware is on your phone?

Have you updated the binary? You could also try using towel root
Try downloading a recovery from CWM or TWRP in TAR format and flashing that in Odin.
That will give you a custom recovery.
Then boot into recovery and flash a Superuser.zip from there. (If you use TWRP recovery you don't even need the superuser.zip. TWRP will tell you that you aren't rooted when you boot it and ask it you want TWRP to root it for you.)
Hi,
Thanks for all the responses... I solved it.. somehow my update for kit-kat via kies prevented me from rooting my phone again. But when I flashed the stock kit-kat update onto my phone using odin, the rooting process using the auto root file from chainfire & odin work! So this solution may work for others...
