Hi everyone,
A couple months ago I picked up my sgs4 from Wind. I recently discovered all of the bonuses to rooting my device. I attempted to root it using motochopper but to no avail(failed to update su binary whenever I opened superuser). I someone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. My device is SGH-M919 and M919VVLUAMG1 if that helps. Thanks!
re: root
Here is the easiest way to gain root access on a M919 Samsung Galaxy S4 phone.
No more trial and error.
Open this link below and follow the easy step by step instructions then download
the Odin flash pre-rooted rom flash it with Odin and and you will have instant root.
You will find the download link for the rom and step by step instructions here:

After you are done you will be able to flash any cwm/twrp flashable custom
rom or you can simply keep the odin flash rom and use that if you like.
Good luck!

hi compared to eve , the process is simple you will find a guide here, but in a nutshell you will use Odin tool.
best way to root will be to download a recovery in .tar form and flash it with odin, then download and save calkulin's or anyone's rom you want, modem, and flash it by following instruction...read instruction for using odin carefully else u will need more help...
Samsung phones are easy to root. Especially if you're coming from an Evo. There is a ton of support here on the forums, just check out the development section and do some homework. It's all there. You can root this phone with confidence.

No need install custom rom through Odin.....no need to root using odin.
Link I provided in previous post takes care of that.
Unroot is pretty simple
Flash EG30 stock tar though Odin , you will out of the box stock with no root.
Also:
Buy yourself a $2.00 jig its always good to have around if things go bad - brick or if Odin flash count clear is needed for Sprint store service visit.

I have galaxy note 2 i317 AT&T version. I have unrooted my phone but still have CWM recovery left. How I can remove that. I am new to this. I was able to retrive firmware for my device from samsung open source site but not sure how to deploy or flash back to my i317 model using odin. Can you please help or guide.
I was able to download Samsung galaxy note 2 at&t firmware from opensource samsung com but dont know how to deploy or flash to my phone using ODIN. If someone can please advice on some steps or tutorial I will really really appricate.
I just want my phone to be normal the way it was before. I dont think i need rooting It was just plain stupid of me to go in first place. overall phone works fine it just bothers me to see that CWM recovery to be their and in case I need to return it I don't think at&t will accept it.
Also I did backup my stock rom from phone after rooting. (I am new android user and I dont belive their is way to make stock rom backup before rooting) So any help will be appricated.
I'm just guessing this is the appropriate method:
Re-root the phone.
Download triangle away.
Download the AT&T galaxy note 2 system dump from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983158
Use the toolkit to convert it to a .tar.
Flash it just like you flashed CWM tar.
Run triangle away and reset flash counter.
Un-root using superuser.
Please confirm with other users before doing the steps above. I could not locate the stock recovery.img anywhere, so I believe the system dump is the best thing to flash.
Good luck!

One of the users try converting system dump to tarz and it failed. So I assume may be its not working?
"th3g1z
This is a bit by bit img of the system partition of the att note. So you don't exactly install it. Basically you can adb into your phone and use the dd command to write it back to the system partition (mmcblk0p13). My first attempt at making it a tar to use with ODIN failed I will try an alternative method tonight when I'm off work.

Hi,
I recently bought the Samsung Galaxy S3 on T-Mobile, to replace my Motorola Droid X on Verizon. Love the new phone, but miss my root capabilities - aka there's a bunch of bloat. There's an OTA not being forced for 4.1.1, but when I tried to root that, I soft bricked and got stuck in a boot loop at the pulsing Samsung. I grabbed ODIN and was able to push the stock 4.0.4 back into it and get it working again, baseband T999UVLH2, Kernel 3.0.8-925100, build IMM76D.T999UVALH2. Is there a way to root this phone, or a stock rooted ROM I could push up with ODIN?
I'm not looking to load custom ROM's, just have some of the abilities I had on my DX when it was rooted and get rid of some of the stock crap that I don't need.
I originally tried to do this with Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit v6.0, and soft bricked the phone. I followed the directions online, and did it as instructed, but yeah. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
All you need to root is the touch 6.0 clockwork mod recovery tar file which is available on xda as zip file and the odin version 3+ and follow instructions thats all thats needed to root, make sure you also put the superuser app inside the root of your sd card meaning connect your galaxy s3 to computer then open the root sd card and put it inside there, i believe there is a clockwordmod touch that already comes with superuser so you may not have to worry about putting superuser in root. here i'll grab links for you now. u dont checkmark anything on odin except select pda and browse for the tar file. Here is guide for your device with download links.
The clockworkmod touch recovery version is by far best and always works well with almost all roms.
I would also recomend you use liquidsmooth rom or if you want to test out the new android 4.2 cm but camera doesn't work on 4.2 cm10.1 now however it's a very nice custom rom
Btw, make sure you flash the superuser.zip file that you placed in your sd card while you are in clockwork mod recovery otherwise you wont comlete the root. to get into cwm you gotta hold volume up home button and power button at same time.

Thanks to both of you, I'm rooted, exactly the way I wanted to be. I couldn't get CWM to flash in stock recovery, nor could I get Root66 to flash in recovery, so I just pushed it with Odin. All I need to do now is get CWM Touch on it, and I'll be set. I'm reinstalling my root apps as we speak.
Thanks again!
Odin cf auto root is the quickest and simplest.

Flash cwm via Odin uncheck auto reboot. Then go straight to recovery then reboot. I'd wipe cache and dalvik while in there though.

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)

Please please forgive me if I'm reposting. I have an s3 that's rooted up and running great so not a novice here. Although my brother finally gave me his T-Mobile note 2- 4.3 w/knox to play with. However his request was to root and unlock it. I've been through the threads over here and just need a link to the most successful method to achieve this. I've tried a couple of rooting methods already (cf auto and Mr Robinson) but can't get root to stick or get recovery. I guess can I factory reset his phone and flash a 412 rom over it and root and unlock that way?? And I believe his 4.3 update was ota. I would appreciate any help here thanks.

I had some trouble getting root & recovery to stick on my stock 4.3 Note 2. I think the method that worked best for me was installing TWRP recovery using Odin. The official T-Mobile Note 2 TWRP thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966105
There is a download link towards the bottom of the 1st post that redirects to the TWRP homepage but here is the direct link to the TWRP page for the T-Mobile Note 2:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/123
The Odin Method is the last on in the list, download the TAR file & flash with Odin
Once you have recovery, you can flash the latest Chainfire (1.99) to root your ROM or just flash a custom ROM
This may help you to get root/recovery but beware, I have been randomly losing my root access even on custom rooted ROMs. I just created a new thread yesterday to hopefully track & resolve the issue but I have a feeling it is related to the 4.3 bootloader which currently can't be rolled back or fixed in the T-Mobile Note 2. My thread for losing root is in the link below, please check it out and see if you are experiencing the same issue:
