Phone won't root - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've done everything I could to try and root this phone but the last step just isn't working. When I have to put the command to flash the unlock bin it gives me a error message. Any ideas. I've used two different laptops.

Yes you need to stop Knox for security specific apps.
Go to settings>general>security and check unknown sources , then uncheck verify apps. This is mainly for installing apps.
But since there's no real indication of what you have installed, and whats running. i'd do that first and go from there.
From what the masses say, its a root issue that has been fixed. SO yes, you have to be rooted to get rid of whatever you are trying to do.
Thanks ill do that.

Quick Q about Mobile Odin

Does anyone know what does this Means and why is it coming out? (attached image bellow---reactivation lock)cause i remember i clicked yes to doenload some extra files need before this screen. so i clicked EXIT for this screen until i know what it is for and if safe to do so.
dpes this means thatmy phone is gonna be relocked to the network? or something like it?
i have a Tmo US rooted with twrp recovery but i want to change my recovery soooooooo bad to a better one. cause its giving me trouble
ok so i have this files downloaded in the search for a custom recovery:
1. samsung-galaxy-s4-tmo-cwm-odin (zipped) ------> recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-jfltetmo.tar (inside Zip)
2. samsung-galaxy-s4-tmo-touch-cwm-odin (zipped) ------> recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.4-jfltetmo.tar (inside Zip)
3. OUDHS-Recovery-jfltetmo-1.0.3.3 (zipped) ------> recovery.img (inside Zip)
4. philz_touch_6.15.4-jfltetmo.tar.md5
5. philz_touch_6.08.9-jfltetmo.tar.md5
which one of this should i install through odin 3.07?

Nothing will happen if you click OK. Just make sure to unlock your bootloader.

OK thanks for the link bro, but actually the version I told you about it the .apk file app for the mobile device, even though I appreciate the link cause now I'm gonna read it to learn some Odin for PC, but again do you know of any other guide for Mobile odin? And regarding my previous question, do you think I should click OK on mobile odin? Or you just don't know?
This is actually the mobile odin I'm talking about bro:

Yes you can press OK. And I changed the link for you in my comment above for the mobile version. Mobile ODIN doesnt play well with the Gs4 so brush up on the PC skillz
Unless the new update to 4.10 fixes the issues it was having

No problem. You should still have the link to the PC version when you quoted me before I changed it. If not, let me know and I'll PM it to you.

OK thanks I'll read both and get acquainted with them since i will be using them a lot. Also i was reading g the 1st post on the mobile odin post and the Tmo s4 is listed as a supported devices, so you said it is not or did you have a bad experience?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
Its supported but there were some things that couldn't be flashed with mobile ODIN so you had to use PC. Nothing that would brick your phone or anything.

You wont brick your phone by pressing OK lol. After you start using ODIN is on you. Just read the guides and make sure you do things the right way so you dont brick your phone. If you want to try out an awesome ROM, try Insane KitKat. It's a great ROM

Great thanks, I will read the guides but that would be tomorrow cause I'm falling asleep. And in regards to the ROM I will give it a try once I have everything figured out, now for the exposed thingy when I do a search for it to download it... should I search for "exposed" itself? Is that the app or is that the extra setting/add-ons?

Are you referring to "Xposed"? And as for a custom recovery, TWRP would be my choice.

Close except you don't need to flash switch bootloaders.
What it basically does is allow you to create Rom "slots" in which you can install multiple roms. On boot you are presented with a screen to either continue booting, or boot into SafeStrap, which is where you can select the slot to boot
