New successful root for Samsung Galaxy Centura from Straight talk! - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

This is my first post and i basically joined to share what i found. By using Snappea and Kingo App i was able to root my Centura. By using snappea to get the drivers and Kingo to root it was successful. I will post the links below for people to try it.
Step 1. Download and install Snappea.
Step 2. Downlod and install Kingo App.
Step 3. Connect your phone and run Snappea in order to get all the correct drivers for the phone.
Step 4. After getting all the drivers open Kingo app and follow all the intstructions until rooted. It doesn't work right away you gotta keep retrying at a certain point until kingo gets it all the way rooted. It works just takes more than one go almost like troubleshooting on windows.
I had used poot before and it was limited now i have better access and hopeully this leads to new roms. Hope this is helpful to everyone thank you.

poot works too

I did lose root access after the recent Android update (to 4.0.4) but I just ran poot again and it worked fine for me.

So you have had no issues with the root so far?

I did root it successfully but, it's more successful when you put superuser, root checker, and ministro installed first before you root with Poot it's more successful the first or second time but after rooting check with the root checker first because it activates the root and superuser. Good luck.

Rooting

I tried to root my phone using a guide on youtube. My superuser installed but is not working. If i try to install root another way will I end up bricking my phone? When I click Superuser, it says it is outdated, tries to update, but it says it can't.
Just follow the guide here. Look in dev section

If you have cwm or twrp installed/flashed right now then download this zip file
and flash it and you will be rooted: http://batakang.com/ftp/SGH-M919/ROOT_M919UVUAMDL.zip
After this is flashed reboot the phone.

I have an sgh-m919 T-Mobile galaxy s4
I rooted using CF-auto-root
It was very easy, and I had no issues with it.
Use the search bar to find it on this forum.
Its fast, free, easy, and it works.
Youtube can be useful as a tool, but use it for only part of your research, don't follow everything you see. I mean obviously it worked, but obviously, its also outdated.
Factory Reset and try again, this time use CF-auto-root

If you keep losing root on 4.3 (Solution here- NO PC needed)

Here's a solution if you are as unfortunate as I am with the 4.3 and keep losing root.
Install vroot from market.
Open it and run root.
Repeat 2x.
Reboot.
Go to market and install SuperSu apk
Got to Chainfire site and download SuperSU-v1.89.zip
Reboot in recovery and flash the zip you downloaded. (for my piece of mind, I flashed TWICE).
Reboot. You should now have root.
If not, repeat process.
NOTE - There are many ways to root, but it seems, this is the only one that has kept my root privileges and no need of PC.
Hope this helps
explains how it works in more detail the recovery will not let me put the zip SuperSU I have the factory recovery

Is this your first time rooting? If so, you need a custom recovery first. Either TWP (latest version) or CWM (latest). To install those, you need Odin and must use PC so it can push recovery into phone
I'm curious why you use vroot (which roots your phone) and also flash root? Why not run vroot, download su, open stand allow it to update binaries? I used vroot from my pc, but I imagine the app works the same. In a side not installing a recovery and rooting with just the app should not trip knox, mine didn't

I've tried vroot on its own. I've tried to just flash SuperSU. I've also tried to use vroot plus updating binaries on supersu. Kept losing root. LoL. This seems to hold it.

E98010P Rooting

I usually don't post and I mostly just follow your all direction and accomplish what I need. While doing my research for Rooting my LG Optimus G Pro I have seen that if you have the updated version of the phone you can't root. Now my phone is completely stock 4.1.2, kernel 3.4.0, E98010P. Can someone direct me in the right way or link to a How-to root an E98010P?
I figured out a way to work on my LG Optimus G Pro running 4.1.2 Jelly Bean with E98010p. Watch this Youtube vid, Its a chinese root but he shows you how to make it english.
Just gave this a shot and it worked!!! Really didn't want to go through the hassle of using the flash tool again just to regain root.

Has it worked for everyone whose tried? Any failures?
I'm nervous to try.
I may just do it.
It Works
Thanks JL969u for posting video. Since my phone kept telling me that it is not registered yet any time I tried built in updater I figured I give this a try. I downloaded the BIN_LGE980AT-00-V10p-ATT-US-NOV-22-2013+0.zip, the used LGflashtool to flash to my phone. Then followed direction in the video. Now have E98010P plus root.
this worked great for me on a windows 8.1 pc and e9810p software version no flahing required very easy thanks to the poster of the video

Flashback?

I think I need to do a Flashback on my Tablet so I can truly root it. I've tried a few ways to root it and all have failed. SuperUser won't open at all. Tried to Towelroot, even tried Stump Root and Stump says the device is already rooted, but I know it's not...

Got CWM into come up, but can't find the SU Zip file... So I just did the reboot from CWM... Now all it does is run a bit slower. SU trys to open, but stats Binary issues. Nothing changed, but slower device now.

When I got CWM opened I did a System wipe factory reset.
Then tried to use towelroot again... Didn't work...

Ok was able to run the SU Zip through CWM and had it rebooted after it was completed. Once it was on. I looked around on the Tablet and SU isn't installed. Running Root Checker Pro and it says the Devices appears to be running very Slow... Been on this screen for a few mins already.
Edit: Went back into CWM and Re-Booted... When I clicked on it a new page loaded and had an option to Fix Root... Choose it and Re-booted.
Downloaded SU from Google Play and it worked now... HUGE THANKS....
Well Crap... Says it's rooted. Xmod is getting Permission from Super User.. Mod installed in the Game... launch from xMod and the Game Crashes.
Ok opened SU and it triggered KNOX... Clicked to let SU to try and disable KNOX.... Been on that Screen for 5min so far...I also get a Security Notice Stating Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked.
..........................................................................
Unistalled SU and Restalled it. Let SU try and Fix KNOX again... Fixed it in just a Few Seconds.
Wroking 100% Now. The last issue was with XMod not the root.
BIG THANKS

Did not installed a Recovery before ROOT

Hey guys, this is my first post here, so if i intrude or break any rules, I'm sorry in advance.
I got a Zenfone 2 and rooted it by following the One-click ROOT method from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/zenfone-2-root-easy-t3114003
I did not install any CWM/TWRP on my phone since the instructions on the thread did not specify it. After the ROOT process I updated SuperSU using the "Normal" option and not the "TWRP/CWM" option
Everything worked perfectly, and then i installed Xposed Module from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/tool-installer-xposed-installer-zenfones-t2983589
After a while i received a notification that an OTA is available so i decided to uninstall Xposed and Full UNROOT by using Super SU. After all of the process were done, i check my phone via the Root Checker app, it said that "ROOT Access is not properly installed". After that i boot into Recovery Mode, cleaned everything, checked again with the app, but it still says "ROOT Access is not properly installed". What do i do to completely remove the ROOT Access? Do i need a Custom Recovery like CWM/TWRP for that?
P.S. I already flashed the latest official frimware from ASUS using ADB so now my phone is up to date, but after i checked, the ROOT Access is still there and it's still not properly installed, so decided to ROOT it again until i find a way to completely remove it.
I'm pretty sure that is just root checkers way of saying you are not rooted

Thanks for answering.
You think so? Because when i was using my Samsung S4, before i rooted it, i ran the Root Checker app, and it says "ROOT Access is not granted", also i still can't get OTA updates despite that message.

Try a different root check app and compare with its screenshots on playstore?
