I have an i747M, from Fido (rogers) running the stock 4.3 firmware. yesterday i tried to root it using odin to install CWM, and then CWM to install supersu.
after successfully installing supersu, i restarted the phone, and got knox blocking the app. i updated it from Play, but then i couldn't open it, and it said it can't install the binary. when my phone asked to update the security certificates, i (stupidly) agreed.
i downloaded the .zip for supersu 1.89, and tried installing that, with the same result, but this time i also can't uninstall supersu.
i've bumped my binary counter, but i'm back to basically stock now.
my goal is to install aokp. is there a way to do it without gaining root first?
if i install CWM through odin, can i flash the aokp rom from CWM?
will the phone reset the recovery?
is this risky?
You could try installing a pre-rooted Rogers rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
I was not able to find a pre-rooted 4.3 for Fido and, since you intend to install a custom rom and recovery, the pre-rooted Rogers ROM might be a good place to start.
It's there a reason to install a rooted rom before aokp? As far as I can tell, I can install aokp without rooting at all.
or am I missing something?

Yes, you can just install a custom ROM without rooting first.
I mentioned the prerooted ROM because you post said you wanted to install su.
Ok, please confirm i have this procedure correct:
1. i use Odin to install CWM
2. boot straight into CWM
3. from inside CWM, i flash the AOKP zip file, and then the gapps zip file
my understanding is that this will keep cwm as my recovery and install aokp with gapps.
am i missing anything?

Just make sure you flash a tar version of CWM that is meant for your phone.
I can't really speak about 4.3 because I'm on 4.1.2 but the method you described is the same method I used.

If you want to kill Konx to enable root you can flash this knox removal script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2507931
If you are just going to flash AOKP via CWM, this may not be necessary, but this is the answer to your Knox problem.

Ok. So I have twrp recovery installed via goomanager. Is this compatible with cm 10 stable? Also I need the d2att version right? I'm really scared about bricking so could someone just fill me in with some details.
I have decided to unroot because I just don't get it. Ill reroot with the method I know how to use.
Yes on both counts.
Goomanager will install a d2can recovery image on your device; you'll need to install the d2att image manually to get it to flash d2att ROMs.
Also remember to clear data/cache before trying to start the new ROM, or before you flash it.

One more thing, I have my phone rooted with a no tripping counter way that I did through odin, I'm sure you have heard of it. Can I just reflash the rooted rom that i originally rooted this with and have that custom recovery uninstalled? Or should I flash an unrooted version from the samsung website? Just so I know how to get rid of this recovery.

Yes.
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 .
I just got my galaxy s4 a few hours ago and im wondering if there is a way to root the phone without using oding to flash a pre-rooted rom.
im guessing this phone is on the latest firmware since i got it today.

If you got it today most likely it does NOT have the newest firmware.
Check the BASEBAND in your phone and check if it ends with a MDB or a MDL.
If it ends with MDL then you have the latest Touchwiz Jellybean 4.2.2 firmware.
There is no Odin flashable pre-rooted MDL firmware available yet.
The easiest way to gain root access is to first install Goomanager
which is a free app from the playstore.
After you install Goomanager click the menu button and select "installopenrecoveryscript" and
when it gets done doing that you will see in goomanager an option to reboot into recovery (Twrp custom touch recovery)
But unless you have Odin flashed the latest MDL firmware I suggest you do not install Goomanger yet.
If you do it prior to Odin flashing the latest MDL firmware you will just have to install goomanger again.
Once you have odin flashed the stock mdl rom and you have installed goomanager and flashed the
openrecoveryscript in goodmanager download a custom cwm/twrp flashable zip file rom and copy it
to your internal sdcard then flash it in twrp recovery, once it's flashed you will be automatically rooted.
The best custom rom available at the present time is Wicked v3, it's a Touchwiz Jellybean 4.2.2 MDL based rom.
So the first thing to do is to Odin flash the latest MDL stock firmware.
Be sure to go into recovery and do a full wipe including factory reset, wipe system, wipe cache and dalvik cache
before Odin flash of the stock firmware.
Here is the link just in case you want to Odin flash the stock MDL Tmobile Touchwiz Jellybean 4.2.2 firmware: http://k0nane.info/rom/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip

You are RIGHT, I almost forgot.. (I did forget)
You need to flash the Odin flashable TAR file "TWRP" first, then after
the custom rom is flashed is when you should install goomanager
and then the custom rom.
Good luck with it.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261013
hey guys,
I need help asap! I tried using the video on this website to root my tmobile S4. I downloaded Kies, Odin 3.07, ROOT_M919UVUAMDL.zip, and CWM as recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.2-jfltetmo.tar, I did NOT install triangle away( i forgot). I went through the steps and passed in Odin. then, when I pulled the battery and booted in CWM i couldnt find the file so i went to the store to buy a sdcard. when I came home i re-ran through Odin and found the root zip on the external sdcard. I successfully installed the root zip and clicked reboot. my problem arose when it showed a "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" in red, and a "SET WARANTY BIT: KERNEL" in yellow. it seems to be frozen in this screen and i can only use the CWM and Download mode. I have tried re-using Odin .
Please help!!
That's an old root method. You can either
1) flash a custom ROM and go about your business
2) Odin back to stock firmware and root with cf-auto root or towelroot

1) You can find tons of Custom ROMs here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/development
You usually flash them to your phone via a Custom Recovery such as CWM or TWRP. Or, is some cases you can use ODIN. Read, Read, Read, Read before your flash. It is very easy to do, but you need to understand what you are doing. All Custom ROMs come pre-rooted.
2) You can download a stock ROM from here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Or, you can use Kies to download and install the most recent firmware for your phone.
TowelRoot is a new option for rooting stock ROMs that are version 4.4.2 (KitKat). This method of rooting doesn't trip the Knox flag.

Thanks for replying however, you do not flash custom ROMs via Odin, you need a custom recovery like twrp or cwm.. Stock firmware you do flash via Odin.. And their Knox flag is already tripped, wouldn't matter

Thanks for correcting me that most of the time you flash Custom ROMs via a Custom Recovery on the S4.
But, if I'm not mistaken you can flash Custom ROMs via ODIN as long as in the right format and you select the correct partition.
However, most of my Custom ROM history is with a HTC device, so I may be mistaken.

It is possible but 99% of custom ROMs are not made to be flashed with Odin, in the past two years I've only seen about 1. And it is also inconvenient
I used Kies to update my previously rooted 5.0.1 Note 4. I now have Android 5.1.1 Lollipop VPU4COG5. With the update, my TWRP recovery was removed. I flashed TWRP recovery 2.8.1.1 via Odin and then, lacking a tar file, downloaded and flashed BeastModeStock 1.0-N910P-OG5.zip, which is shown installed on my phone. Problem is, the phone is NOT rooted. I cannot open superSU, getting a message "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!..."
Any suggestions?
Thanks

All you did was flash the OG5 pre rooted kernel over your pure stock odexed rom. This alone does not give you root. If you wait a little while you can download and flash the new rom i'm uploading right now. It's pre-rooted and all you have to do is flash the rom and go about your business. Look for a new rom thread later tonight.
