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.

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?

I flashed the auto root, updated supersu and rom manager but rom manager aborts during install of CM.
What am I doing wrong?
(My first post on the forums! You guys have helped me out so much in the past, and I'm excited to finally communicate with you. Wish me luck!)
I recently installed the 4.3 OTA update on my Samsung Galaxy S3, using the zips and instructions from these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387423
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538991
It went perfectly, without a hitch. Everything was running great, and I was loving everything about stock, de-samsungized 4.3, root and custom bootloader.
I was very interested in the dSploit app, and installed it, found out I needed Busybox. I installed it using the busybox installer. This is where the trouble begins. SuperSU needed a binary update after I installed busybox for some reason, even though I was fairly certain I already had the latest binaries. I tried running it through the automatic update with my teamwin bootloader, but it only booted into recovery and nothing installed. After googling it for a bit, decided to re-flash SuperSU. Suddenly, I began recieving the message "Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped working" every time I tried to access anything requiring root priviledges. Anything that had already been granted root access (including Titanium Backup, thank goodness) seemed to work fine as long as it didn't need to request additional privileges. Unfortunately, I'm now locked out of ES File Explorer and the xposed framework (all prior installed modules continue to function though)
My initial thought was to wipe and reload using the process I used to get here in the first place, but I'm running 4.3 now, and I understand that downgrading is impossible now, and no flashable 4.3 stock roms seem to exist.
So I'm lost, guys. I need my root back somehow... If I forgot any information you think would be relevant and/or helpful, let me know and I'll provide anything you need. I've been googling and searching the forums for days, but I haven't found anyone with this exact problem.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling SuperSu?
Since SuperSU was flashed to the device via Odin, it is registered as a system app. The app store only has the open option, and I can't access the app in the system folder without root privileges, which it won't give me, so...
Yeah. Unless there's a script I can run through recovery, that's a dead end.

I've tried this. In fact, that was when SuperSU began force-closing. I just need to completely uninstall it and start fresh, I think.

Have you tried the cleanup/unroot options inside supersu settings? Then starting over?
I might not have stated this directly before, but the SuperSU app won't launch. I tap on it and immediately get the "Unfortunately" error. I have no way of accessing anything within the app.

Ok well then find one of the 4.3 roms in development that you can use. I'm on s3rx 3.0 and other than some hiccups (still a wip atm) that are liveable, its pretty stable. You can flash this safely in recovery without the bootloader/modem package since you already took the OTA without risk of bricking. Its prerooted so no worries there. Good luck

Thank you for that. It's always good to have a fallback option.
I'm still wondering though, is there a script I could flash that would completely remove SuperSU / BusyBox / superUSER (CWM) to scratch and allow me to re-flash CF-Autoroot? Barring that, how difficult would it be to code one myself?
FIXED IT.
Apparently, flashing the latest version of SuperSU from the developer's website (1.86) will not work on Android 4.3. I flashed version 1.65 as provided in the original 4.3 Rooting Guide, then updated it in the Play Store followed by a binary update and re-installed BusyBox, and everything is back to running order. Thank you all for your help and advice!
I really can't find anything on a root method for a Boost S3 on 4.4. There's a lot of talk about ND8, but I'm running L710VPUCNDC. I'm wondering if the method can be swapped between the two or not. Any help or a point in the right direction would be much appreciated. Thank you.

If you are on 4.4.2 then the first place you should go is HERE. Then check out THIS thread. Also I believe that the thread HERE still works to root 4.4.2 . As always be sure to read everything carefully before doing anything.

Well put together my friend, but it's much much easier than that last post.
1. Flash Philz through Odin
2. Reboot to recovery, click Philz settings
3. Check the reroot option
4. Click yes to apply
5. Reboot, install SuperSU from play store
6. Open SuperSU, disable Knox
7. Profit

True enough .
Ok, easy enough, however when I boot back into the OS and install SuperSU, as soon as I launch it, it informs me the binary isn't installed, that it can't install it, and then closes SuperSU. Did I use the wrong Philz? I used philz_touch_6.00.8-d2spr.tar.md5 in Odin 3.04.

Hey guys.
I just rooted it with TowelRoot V3 - L710VPUCNDC. No issues what so ever.
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

Can you please confirm that cf worked on 4.4.2? Their site only shows compatibility up to 4.3. I've been searching everywhere, but found no confirmed reports of cf or anything else working on 4.4.2. I want to root my i317 while retaining the stock rom so that I can enable tethering.

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

Download a recovery like philz and flash it in odin while the phone is in download mode
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.

Thank you sir! I went into ES file explorer, and manually installed SuperSU. Although it never asked about dialing KNOX. I installed Root Checker, and it says I'm rooted. Appreciate yours and everyone else's help. Have a great day.
