Hi all! Sorry if this is a dumb question or one already answered but, is it safe to install cyanogenmod from the installer straight from the unrooted 4.3 OTA with KNOX? Like will it brick? I know it trips the flags voiding warranty but will it actually brick my phone? Thanks in advance!
Tons of threads on this, to my understanding, you won't brick your phone as long as you don't try to downgrade below 4.3, you have to be rooted and have custom recovery to flash CM though.

I am also looking to flash CM on stock 4.3. Did you just install from CWM after rooting, or did you use the CM app?

Thanks, worked perfectly. However, I am having issues with accessing carrier settings and voicemail issues. Have you run into similar problems?

I flashed the auto root, updated supersu and rom manager but rom manager aborts during install of CM.
What am I doing wrong?

Hey guys,
I have looked around for the solution to this but can't find one.
Starting out rooted, I updated my phone to SkyNote 4.3 (not sure if that helps) and still had root for a minute. I went through the process of setting up the phone how I like it, and after a few restarts, the root went away. This has happened twice. I've read posts where people talked about Android 4.3 deleting root but here's where the story gets interesting:
The threads/posts that people are pointing to to fix it is pretty much centered around Chainfire's post on Google+ https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/Jkuu84odnx6 .
The difference between the similar posts are that Chainfire has updated the version over the months. I have tried flashing that update zip over and over but I still have no root and the SU app is still buried in my system/app folder, which of course I can't delete because I have no root. I guess my questions are does anyone know how to delete this system/app apk for SU without wiping and starting from another ROM or know how to correct it in general?
Thanks you guys for reading.

Thanks, I didn't think about that, but because of my unique situation, I couldn't even get 1click to recognize my phone. So after searching more and more, the answer is exactly what I was doing but a more updated SU zip. It's in the second post of SkyNote 4.3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46798454&postcount=2
That may help another Android 4.3 ROM user

I have the exact same issue with my SGH_I317M. I rooted with CF-Root, flashed TWRP, flashed Skynote 4.3, flashed the update, flashed the Rogers modem and flashed the WIFI fix all with ODEN. Everything works. Even WIFI. But I lost Root. I made 2 full backups with TWRP. 1st. right after flashing TWRP still with 4.1.2 ROM and the 2nd after flashing 4.3 and all the patches. When I restore back to 4.1.2 all is good. When I restore to 4.3 Skynote, I loose Root. I tried flashing the SuperUser Update but it fails. Any help would be much appreciated.

My last comment should help. When you flash the update, make sure it's the one from the post above. It carries the latest SU. If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what to do, but it worked for me because the SU binaries want to update but it needs the correct one.

Thank you Deon. I was reading this thread yesterday using the XDA app on my mobile for the first time. I downloaded the updated binary from this thread using my mobile. After several install failures I opened propertie for the zip and discovered it was empty. I downloaded the update from the OP through my PC, transferred the file to my SD and now all is good again with my root. CHEERS!

Hello,
So, I have the T-Mobile S4, obviously, and I updated to 4.3 using Kies. Well, long story short, after the updated I couldn't use WiFi at all. I ended up using Odin and putting the stock firmware back on, and that fixed everything.
Now, I rooted it using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980683 but, the SuperSU root isn't letting me use OBackup, now. Before, when I had Superuser, it let me use it just fine.
Is there any way to switch from SuperSU to Superuser? I've been reading a few threads but they are all for 4.2.2 and I'm not sure if it'll work on 4.3. I read on one of the threads to use "CWM recovery" and use Odin and that would work, but again, that's 4.2.2.
Any ideas would be great.
Have you tried downloading it from the playstore?

The easiest way to solve the problem is to re-odin flash stock 4.2.2 firmware.
After that download CF-AUTOROOT and odin flash it.
After that you will be fully rooted and all apps which require root will work again.
Here is the direct download link for cf-autoroot: http://download.chainfire.eu/328/CF...jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919.zip?retrieve_file=1
p.s. you might need to re-flash cwm or twrp custom recovery.
Good luck!

Yeah; I tried downloading it from the playstore, but all it tells me once I open it is that the it is oudated and needs to update. I hit "Update" and then it crashes the app, and restarts the phone into recovery mode with no prompts except "reboot phone".
And the thing is I do NOT want to go back to 4.2.2. I want to find a way back to Superuser instead of SuperSU.

Because I've had so much interest, and so few takers, I'll add that this may be specific to Synergy ROM mk4. When I get a chance to flash lorjays again I may update my experience.

May I ask why do you prefer Superuser over SuperSU? Don't they kinda do the same thing with SuperSU being updated constantly?
Use Kingoroot. In the end it'll put SuperSU on your phone, but you should be able to then install Superuser and remove SuperSU.

Well, in the past, for whatever reason I had problems running an app or two using a certain su app.
I thought this may have been the problem with my current mk4 ROM, turns out it may relate to the boot.img that is currently being used.
I did a search and couldn't find an answer. I got the OTA (Thanks to my wife, while I still sleeping) I did get it rooted and knox disabled. Don't care about the knox flag because my warranty is already gone. So now my question is do any of the 4.3-4.4 ROMS work (Skynote, Ditto etc)? Can I flash TWRP with goo manager?
Thanks in advance!

I'm not brave enough yet to rom either but I can confirm Xposed installs perfectly and gearbox works just enough that pie controls work.
If you do that don't turn ANYTHING else in gearbox on. Use Wanam to mod out with as its built for the note 2.

I decided to be the sacrificial lamb and I can confirm that yes definitively you can go from stock 4.3 OTA to a custom 4.3 ROM. I updated to 4.3 OTA (dumb) and just now successfully flashed Ditto 3.1.1.
1. Root 4.3 OTA
2. Flash TWRP
3. Flash custom rom.
4. Run SuperSU
Some additional notes:
Did a dirty flash the first go around. The device didn't boot. Used the pull battery method to get into recovery (probably not necessary but oh well). Reflashed the rom this time using full wipe in AROMA (not in TWRP) and the device booted like a charm (even got an OTA Ditto 3.2 update bonus!).
Additionally AROMA didn't delete my data so I got to keep all my data from 4.3 OTA.
Last note my baseband is still MK6. I guess that's good because Ditto is still on MK5.
Lots of people have done this. What's so scary?

JediMasterX V2 runs great on 4.3 bootloader. If you took the OTA to get to 4.3 then you are ready to go with JediMasterX just download the zip and follow the instructions in the OP.

If you knew this information already, it would have been helpful of you to share this information with the group instead of chiming in after the fact.
Just read this but a quick read anywhere around here would've been an answer

Thanks everyone!!
Why it was scary is when I posted there was a lot going on. I hadn't seen where someone had taken the update, then flashed a ROM. I had seen a lot about the leak but not MK6. There were quite a few folks having trouble restoring backups, soft bricking etc. and it was due to the locked down boot loader being hostile to changes. I just didn't want a soft brick and have to use my Infuse till I could get it back up.
As far as what I have read so far, no one has been able to get back to MK6 after downgrading or roming and the backups of the stock MK6 aren't working. The reason I asked is because not much was being said about how ROMs were acting with the locked bootloader. No one was talking about steps to take if you have the MK6 update to ROM.
I have since flashed and I am running Sky Note Air Vaniila now and all is well. Just wanted to see what troubles if any others were having to help keep ducks in a row That way when folks want to ROM they know which ones work with the new Bootloader.

So I haven't been on xda for a while. I've rooted my note a good 12x. I got a replacement and decided to keep it stock as long as possible. Now my phone just pisses me off with touchwiz. I wanna flash a twrp or cwm so i can flash cm11 and so on. I know Samsung just puahed this new update out so idk if anyone has rooted it yet. Does any one know how to root and instal cwm on 4.4.2? Really want to flash a rom. Thank you very much for time and feedback

What recovery are you using, and how did you install it, TWRP bricked mine.
C auto root is flashed with odin in download mode. While rooting, it installs a custom recovery.
maybe it's kitkat, but it didn't install one for me. When I went into recovery, it was the normal factory recovery, which allowed nothing. I tried with Rom Manager, but nothing.
CF worked
I had to manually install the latest Supersu apk then update the binaries to get it working afterword, but I'm finally rooted
Now to get tether working

Let me ask you this:
1. root with odin.
2. install CWM with odin?
3. Not I have 4.4.2 stock rom with root.
4. Can I install a custom rom with 4.4.2. stock rom still on the phone?

Yes, if 1 - 3 is accomplished, you are ready for experiments in custom roms. You use the recovery to flash.
But make sure you have the latest recovery, and that you check the rom instructions a few times before you do anything.
Ok....cwm from Rom manager, or twrp through odin? I don't mean to break chops, I've rooted a captivate and played with it for a year, when my wtty was over with this phone, I rooted it, and had JediX 19 on it. I went back to stock, and then 4.4.2 When samsung stock 4.4.2 was installed, for some reason, it keeps bricking on me.
Ok, I rooted, and installed twrp from odin,.... passed. When I go into recovery, it's not there.
Ok. Hopefully someone has an answer. I rooted with CF auto root, Odin....fine. Installed CWM, fine. Downloaded SuperSU.....unfortunately superuser stopped working everytime I press on it. I cannot uninstall it, because it DOES NOT show up in application manager. I installed root checker, and says phone is not rooted. I can get into clockwork MOD, but no zip files show up. Can I use Odin to re flash CF auto root?, or just quit, I would hate to brick this again.
Sounds like Knox is blocking you. After rooting, install the latest Supersu apk (2.02) and install manually. Then when you open it, it should ask to update binaries. Let it, then it should ask about dialing Knox. Click yes. Viola, you're fully rooted. After the above is done, you can play with ROMs n such.
Up till that point, there is no need to flash anything, as auto root is designed to do the work for you from a pure stock rom.
