Reroot Issues...

my wife installed an update and her phone has lost root....i have read all of the rooting posts and the only way to correct this situation is to re flash and wipe everything. So my question is is there anyway to reroot without having to wipe the phone!!! thanks in advance!!:good:

Check out this informative post by Febby.. :good: (Yes, this is for Sprint. Febby was informing a Boost user in this post)

Rooting a boost device is no different than a sprint device. Here is my Febby approved guide to rooting ICS based ROMs on sprint or boost manually.
Step 1: Download a custom kernel such as agats to your PC. I'll link Agat kernel thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767421
Step 2: If you don't have odin, download odin zip and extract. Link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1418814&d=1350807034
Step 3: Download superSU zip, and transfer it to your phones sdcard or internal. Links below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Step 4: load up odin, press the pda slot to select the custom kernel you downloaded.
Step 5: Put your phone into download mode. To do this remove the battery, put the battery back in, press and hold the power button + Vol down button, and Lastly press Vol up to confirm download mode.
Step 6: connect your phone to your pc with a usb cable, confirm that you are connected to odin by looking under "ID:COM", It should say com5 or such. Press start to flash the kernel. Phone will reboot.
Step 7: Boot phone into recovery mode by powering off the phone. Once phone is off, press and hold the power button + vol up, till the sgs2 screen pops up (let go of the buttons). Once in recovery, flash the superSU or superuser zip by pressing "Install zip from sdcard", then press "Choose zip from sdcard" or "Choose zip from internal/external" depending where you placed the file. Reboot phone after flashing zip.
Step 8: Phone is now rooted!
Step 9: If you want the stock kernel back, just download the stock kernel for your stock ROM and reflash it via Odin.
step 10: Thank my post (Febby is my name!) and enjoy live.
Credit list:
Thanks to ChainFire for SuperSU!
Thanks to the makers of Odin!
Thanks to Agat63 for making a custom kernel.
Thanks to this amazing community for any other work and support.
Thanks to me aka Febby, for writing this small guide.

I believe the odin methods have a Data restore and a No Data restore version. If you are just worried about apps there are programs like android commander that will backup all her apps no data so that you can restore them later. Its a pc based program
Edit: or do above...lol

thanks everyone...i appreciate it!!!

Prevention Information ERROR

Hi i have the following error :
When i try to click on WI-FI button comes up the following
prevention information
the device has detected an application attempting unppermitted actions and has stopped loading.To protect your device it is recomended you reboot.
I have rooted my phone using the topic here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258633
i had to load the
http://k0nane.info/rom/SGH-M919-UVUAMDB-k0nane.7z
file first cos i was getting an failure when installing the superuser using odin 3.0.7
my recovery is TWRP 2.5.0.0 and i am on wicked v1
Anyone else have this issue?

I had the same issue if you check the build number and the baseband version they are not the same. If you re-odin the MDL build http://k0nane.info/rom/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip again then WIFI should work again. I got it rooted after that by doing the following:
1. Load the OUDHS CWM-Based Recovery 1.0.3.3 for T-Mo GS4, via odin uncheck auto reboot and goto to recovery http://k0nane.info/rom/OUDHS-Recovery-jfltetmo-1.0.3.3.tar
2. Install Chainfire's SuperSU http://www.shabbypenguin.com/Android/Scripts/Nexus-Files/Root/SuperSU-v1.25+.zip then
3 Install [KERNEL] Stock Touchwiz MDB - SetUID Restriction Removed http://d-h.st/GcM
Between installs make sure you wipe the cache and davik cache
then you reboot you should be rooted with the newest update MDL minus the kernel lock

yes its not same the build and the baseband
Is it possible to be done using the twrp?
other recovery was little difficult?
can u send me the links i need please i just don't want to mess around and brick my phone
Thanks a lot

Check my post again, I couldn't get TWRP to work at first but it maybe i did not uncheck the the auto reboot box when I did that. Once the the recovery is loaded via odin you need to pull the battery then do the home-up volume-power to get into the recovery. I notice TWRP was a bit too sensitive and could not scroll down the list of folders to get to the zip files

You need to uncheck the auto reboot box in odin, after the recovery transfer is complete pull the battery and unplug from your computer then do a boot into recover by holding the volume up-home-power button. If not rooted follow the instructions in my post above at the very least you need to load the kernel file

So I did that with all 3 recoveries like 2 or 3 times each, nothing was working I unchecked reboot then would just pull battery after reboot and hold vol up and power to try and get into recovery. Sometimes the litlte blue would appear in the top left corner saying "recovery booting" and would just stay there forever other times that would appear and then the phone would just reboot itself.
Anyway finally found instructions that allowed said to try checking auto reboot and f time reset so did that with a TWRP recovery tar and then it finished and rebooted. I then shut the phone off and held power and vol up to get into recovery and it loaded fine. I was then able to flash the chainfire superuser and kernel you posted. So Thanks a bunch man!

[Q] ClockWorkMod - Stuck in Odin Mode!

Hello Everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help me out.
I installed ROM Manager on my phone, and (honestly not sure why!) but I did. When I launched the application, it told me that v. 6.0 was available if I wanted to update - Stupid me, updated ClockWorkMod to v6.0.
Well, everything was fine.. until I decided to use the ROM Manager Backup option - When I rebooted, it got stuck on
"Could not do normal boot"
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-M919
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
CSB-OEM_CONFI_LSB: 0X30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
Downloading....
Do not turn off target!!
I'm not sure what to do at this point. I've tried VOL UP + HOME + POWER - but it goes right back to this spot. I've pulled the battery waited for 5 mins - then tried the same VOL UP + HOME + POWER - still nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jay

Don't press the home button is the first thing I can think of.
Power + Volume up = Custom Recovery
Power + Volume down = ODIN/Download mode
To get into Recovery mode:
Pull battery
Insert battery but Don't turn phone on.
Press Power + Volume up buttons and hold them until you see the custom recovery prompt in blue lettering in the upper left corner of the S4, and then immediately release the buttons. You should enter into Recovery.
I don't use CWM so I'm not that familiar with its installation, etc. But there are a few threads that go into CWM in detail.

Plugged it back up to ODIN - pushed out the old ClockWorkMod and system booted back up!! Phew!!
I think I'm going with TWRP..

Here's the TWRP 2.5.0.2 file:
https://hotfile.com/dl/230303459/7ce1553/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.2-jfltexx.tar.html
Install with ODIN.
Steps to follow........
Method #1 -
Place file in PDA box*
Uncheck all other boxes.
Press start.
When installation is complete, unplug usb cord and pull the battery.
Insert the battery but Don't turn on the phone.
Place phone in Recovery mode via the Power + Volume up buttons.
Method #2 -
The other way I've read to install TWRP Recovery is:
Place the TWRP 2.5.0.2 tar in the PDA box*
Check the auto reboot box and f time reset box.
Start the installation and let the phone reboot.
I believe the above method is method of choice, but sometimes the Recovery doesn't take, so Method #1 is then recommended.
Here is an explanation why:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41166759&postcount=28

TWRP been having some issues, even the one people claim to be stable. Be caution with that one as well. Let us know how it works out if not can direct you to other recoveries. There are several out there all working flawlessly. Just matter of what you want you know?

TWRP looks to have worked for me.
But I can see what you mean. I no longer get stuck in ODIN MODE - but I was having issues after dropping a ROM on my phone. Even after successful setup of the ROM, if I decided to reboot just for giggles. It would freeze on Samsung S4 Logo.
Well, I have since fixed this issue:
I believe the reason why I was getting stuck on Samsung S4 Logo on reboot was because in addition to wipe data/wipe cache/wipe dalvik - I also formatted the internal_sd - this is just a theory but my internal_sd regardless of me dumping a ROM on there, after reboot would do nothing - When I went in recovery - internal_sd showed 0MB. Thus, stuck boot screen. Nothing to boot too.
FIX: Installed STOCK ROM, and KERNEL - Confirmed, that reboot works after setting up phone. My understanding is that it installs all the necessary folder structure required. Got the STOCK ROM from: http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-stock-firmware/
Then followed this root process and recovery:
http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-ro...g-twrp-method/
Once I did that, booted to recovery did the normal (wipe data/wipe cache/wipe dalvik) then dropped ALPHA ROM on my phone, along with Infamous KERNEL, and everything is great. Reboots like a champ now. -- Still using TWRP, but v. 2.5.0 - (no issues as of yet! )

Glad to see all working out for you

When you say "plugged it back up to ODIN" what exactly are you doing. Do I need to download an app to my PC? I am new to this... I'm stuck on the same screen.

Install ODIN 3.07 to your pc
Install drivers for your device onto your pc
I'll post a link to the ODIN thread so you can see how it's done
Update:
Here ya go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628
Please read the above thread in the link carefully.
If your device is stuck on a screen, what were you doing prior to get to that state.
First, boot into custom recovery and Wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot, and see if that helps.
Either way, you should have ODIN on your pc

I edited my link above.
You'll be fine.
Any questions, ask in the thread after you read about ODIN and how it works.
Once you install it on to your pc, along with the drivers which enable youropc totrecognize your device you'll find it very helpful when needed.
I have, and so have almost everyone who have ever rooted their devices and/or flashed ROMs, etc
By the way, you are not rooted?
I ask because if you are, you would have used ODIN.
What is exactly wrong now with your device?

If you go with TWRP, don't use Goo Manager as that will install 2.6.0.0 which has some issues for some, as you probably know.
Install TWRP 2.5.0.2 with ODIN, which I did many months ago, and have had zero issues.
You can install with Mobile ODIN also I believe.

My phone on bootloop, and Odin is not working.

Hello. I'm not a developer or anything, but I do think that I know some things about technology. I have been trying to fix my GN2, AT&T. I have rooted it, and I did something bad, and now I don't even have access to recovery. Sorry if this question was posted some where else, but trust me. I've searched everywhere to find a way to fix my phone. Oh, and I do have access to download mode. Well, I did saw on a other post that you have to flash a ROM, via Odin to fix this. It did not work. It's my first time using Odin, but I put the .tar file in to the PDA section, and clicked start. (Of course with my phone plugged in to my laptop on download mode). After like 30 minutes, it failed. I tried some other USB ports, but it did not help. Please help me. I don't know what to do.

No worries. Did you take a 4.3 backup before flashing 4.4.2 ?
If not, just ODIN back to 4.1.1 LJ2 like in Post #1. Then flash a custom recovery and you can then flash one of the 4.3 ROMS.

INSTALLING TWRP 2.6.3.1
- Run Odin3 v3.07.exe
Download Link http://www.mediafire.com/download/772dlmuaxfgm0x2/Odin307.zip
- Put your Note 2 in Download Mode
Entering download mode is very simple. First you will need to turn off your device. Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button. Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up. Once you’re there, you will be required to press volume up to enter the download mode or volume down to cancel and reboot the device.
Plug into a RELIABLE usb port and a RELIABLE usb cable (preferably the white Samsung cable) and wait for it to show up in Odin (COM5 or something like that)
- Click the PDA slot in Odin and locate the openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0lteatt.img.tar that you downloaded.
The filename that goes into the PDA Slot is openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-t0lteatt.img.tar
MAKE SURE IN THE OPTION AREA ONLY AUTO REBOOT AND F.RESET TIME ARE CHECKED!!!
- Click START and wait. It will complete and reboot.

No, you don't need an older version. You simply aren't installing it correctly. Follow the instructions EXACTLY as shown the recovery thread.

As I expected, you did not follow the instructions properly. The instructions direct you to "uncheck auto-reboot in Odin". You did not do this.

Directly from the instructions:
8. Hit "START". Wait for Odin to finish (~10-15 seconds). The message area will display "RES OK" when finished.
9. Restart directly to recovery mode before rebooting into OS.(Hold POWER, Volume UP, and the HOME button all at the same time. When you see the Samsung Logo, let go of the POWER button, but keep holding the Volume UP and HOME until you see the recovery screen).

When you get into recovery, flash the SuperSu zip to root.

Yes, depending on what data you want. But you will need the custom recovery working first.

Awesome
