Noob here, first off I unrooted a while ago, then took the ota 4.3, is the bootloader locked? Cause according to the cf auto root site if your bootloader is locked you'll probably brick your phone if you flash the auto root? Also do these steps have to be in order? I tried rooting by other means and installing supersu first, wouldn't work so I removed knox with the script, and then updated supersu in the play store and still nothing, can I try to flash cf auto root now and then update supersu in the play store? Thanks a million, need this thing rooted

Well, I'm not bricked, so I think that answers your question about the bootloader.
Do you have a custom recovery installed? I assume so since you say you flashed the Knox remover script. If you do have a custom recovery installed, just flash the SuperSu zip, then update in the Play Store.

Ah it is so nice to have root again... Thank you so much for putting up with a noob.
Crazy events of a noob that lead me to root
Installed ota 4.3
Tried to root and install superuser by odin and then custom recovery to flash
Root didn't happen because of knox
Could only get to CWM custom recovery if it was right after odin and battery pull?...
Flashed the script to remove knox, which did remove knox
Tried the same root method as above and no root access
Tried supersu and then updating in play with no success
Changed security update settings etc nothing
Reset delvik, cache, permissions, etc nothing
Different root method and files for odin, and custom recovery stuck
Used files from this thread, went into custom recovery and flashed supersu
Installed supersu from play store...
Updated the binary using custom recovery
Rebooted...
ROOT access, all root applications work fine and root sticks even after reboots
I never messed with cf auto root method
THANK you guys for your time effort and sharing, helps noobs out like me a lot!
Sweet! I've missed root since I upgraded using the OTA file you provided. Looking forward to much other great things coming from you
Thank You

Method two absolutely worked. Thank you so much. I was scared to flash TWRP but knowing you did it gave me the courage. Have full root and happy
questions about this root
Hi, I'm a little nervous with this root but I need the root as the phone is useless without it.
I have the [email protected] galaxy s3 I747 will all these files work with it im just double checking.
Also do you flash the knox remover the same way as you flash other things with the pda button?
Will I still be able to do factory restores?
Also I saw that knox remover removes a lot of apps, Can you install these deleted apps from the market if you need too?
THanks please let me know asap.
THANKS!!!! your a lifesaver didn't know how much longer i could take without root
Dunno where you guys got your 4.3 update from and how you got it working but I did the OTA and Root just does not want to stick. I used knox remover and Cf auto root but it loses root after a restart. SuperSu never opens and crashes as soon as you open it. I have a feeling Cf auto root is just not compatible for the ota 4.3 i747??

The second method worked great. I believe (and the way that worked for me) that you use your custom recovery to flash the knox script, not using Odin and pda. I don't think it removed anything other than knox, there is a different script for removing knox and att bloatware. Should still be able to factory reset... But can't guarantee that.

Root & Knox
When you go to Settings/More tab/Security/Device Administrators, You have KNOX and Android Device Manage. Both are unchecked on mine. So does that mean Knox is not working if unchecked and safe to try to Root?????

Those settings are just for granting device administrator privileges. If unchecked, Knox is still doing it's thing, just not at an administrative level.
Yes, it is safe to try and root.
I have Android Device Manager as admin. That way if I ever lose my device I can just log in to the Play Store and locate and / or wipe the device.
To do this just flash the recovery.img file using odin and clicking the pda button correct?
Is there a way to freeze Knox instead of deleting it in the event I would want to go back to full stock?
After you are rooted, use an app like Titanium Backup(pro) or My Backup pro. Both will freeze it.

Hi...
Please help me.. After flashed with latest I9190DXUAMK2, now i cannot successfull root my i9190.
It always asked me to update supersu binary, but it failed. Now i cannot restore all app from titanium backup, coz titanium needs root to run.
I also got knox warranty void 0x1. Hope some expert here can give me solutions.
Hi, you need busybox.
Flash root kit v2 it has busybox
Then flash root stock v1 for battery drain. Then everything works

Please give me link for those u mention..
I'm currently cannot restore all my apps from titanium backup, since it needs root access to restore.
That new firmware has KNOX enable. Even i already deleted some knox app from /system/app, it seems to be run and block all su access.
I followed the root method, supersu icon already there and needs to be updated with latest su binary. But it cannot update, it fail..
ADB SHELL, then run su from command also stuck.. I cannot do anything in unroot condition.. I also tried to downgrade previous firmware, but cannot work. Odin fails too !! Samsung now put high protection on latest firmware, so they protect it cannot be rooted..
If u already tried and make sure this method working, pls give me the step by step method.
Thanks before and after..
Does latest firmware for i9190 needs insecure kernel to disable blocking access from su ?
I tried flash previous modem, odin success, but why the PDA version still no change ?
Problem solved !!
The correct way is to flash the latest update supersu zip from chainfire. Flashing rootkit v2 also no change.

I still don't know how to avoid knox trigger. Mine also has knox 0x1.. U cannot downgrade to previous ROM since the latest firmware has a new bootloader which protect u to downgrade the ROM.
If u already followed the step from page 1, then u have to do 1 more step.
Just download the updated version of supersu from chainfire. U can download from this link http://download.chainfire.eu/372/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip
Go to recovery, then flash it.. U can totally root your device..
Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy S4 (M919) with 4.3.
I'm a first time rooter and I just did a root using the GalaxyS4root.com tutorial. I used the Clock Work mod recovery method and have installed Supersu version 0.99.zip.
Now when I reboot after rooting successfully I try to launch Supersu and I get a "Unfortauntely Supersu has stopped" message. I have read around on google about the Knox security issues and tried also updating via the Play store but when I launch the app now i get
"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it! This is a problem!" :crying:
I don't understand this because I rooted it following the instructions exactly and it seems everything went through fine...Why is this happening?
Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you!

Okay I will try that. Also, I have checked the status and it says "Custom"... Does this mean It is actually rooted but it's just not being detected yet?? Would I have to revert back to stock Samsung before I try CF Autoroot?
Thanks
Just try CfAutoroot or go to chainfire's website and download latest version of supersu and flash it.

Next step is go to the playstore and download/install Goomanager. (free app)
Once it's installed open it & click the menu key and select "Install OpenRecoveryScript".
When that's done you will have the latest TWRP custom recovery in your phone and you
will be ready to flash any compatible custom roms found here in this M919 forum.
Good luck!
Saferoot is the way to go.

It is always recommended to backup, I've never done such thing cause I don't mind losing some stuff in case (have external storage for that).
Easy way to root: TWRP or CWM flash with Odin, go into recovery and then flash latest SuperSu, reboot open that new app and deknox, done.
Ok. Thanks. I think that I will do that after reading some guides for exactly moves.

Towelroot not work. Have message 'this phone isn't currently supported'..
hey guys so im a noob at all of this so noob it down for me please
the other day i tried rooting my phone and i thought i succeeded at doing so since the SuperSU (blue hashtag) app appeared in my apps. knox's also is disabling supersu from running. when i open up knox it reads "your device is not authorized to enter samsung knox mode" im guessing thats because of it being rooted? so when i downloaded root checker to see if my phone is rooted and it comes out that my phone is not rooted.
so is my phone rooted and knox is keeping su from running or did i not root properly?
any suggestions
The Knox counter was probably tripped previously, that's why it gave you that message. What method did you use for root, what android version, and what device do you have?

That's a recovery, which tripped Knox when you flashed it. And I assume you flashed SuperSU after? Make sure it is the latest

XDA has all the info you need.. Cyanogen is prerooted so it shouldn't have any problems, but I did notice you said you had SuperSU, which is not the root app it uses. It also sounds like SuperSU and the cm you flashed is outdated, that blue hash was dropped long ago.. Did you try to update it like I suggested? If you are on cm10 flash cm11 instead
