HELP trouble with root

I had an s4 with ota 4.3 mk2 installed and Knox already tripped. I rooted it using cfauto root, flashed cwm and flashed virgin ROM 3.1. The phone works awesome but I no longer have root for some reason. When I click on superSu it tells me that the binary is not installed

Try flashing the latest SuperSU on recovery.

You may have to wipe factory reset, wipe system then reflash rom, if you want you can nandroid as a backup, TiBu prolly won't work without root.

Try the flashable Superuser app from Koushik and if it does work, then update SuperSu.

First Re-Flash CF-Autoroot.
Once you have root open SuperSU in your phone and as in the picture
below make sure you checkmark the boxes you see in this screenshot.

That's what I did a while back and never had root issues since then.
Good luck!

It won't let me get into that menu because it says super use binary not installed and if it has to do with 4.3 to go to forums

Have you already flashed a custom kernel since
you upgraded to the official 4.3 Jellybean rom?
If not, @jovy23 's stock-modified kernel might fix the root issue
if you are on the 100% stock kernel right now.
Here is the download link for the stock-modified 4.3 M919 kernel:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760972765
Before you flash this kernel it would be best if you odin flashed
cf-autoroot but un-tick the "auto reboot" option in odin before flashing.
After it's flashed remove usb cable & power down the phone using the
power button then power the phone on into recovery.
Then in recovery flash @jovy23 's kernel and all should be good.
Good luck!

Thanks just reflashing cf auto root through odin fixed it.

[Q] Most current stock ROM?

I'm trying to upgrade from an older version of MOAR to the most current stock ROM so I can get rid of the update notification. I have already made the mistake of accepting the OTA update that had Knox in it and subsequently tripped the Knox bit, so I'm wanting to be careful about what I do to ensure I don't brick the phone. I have downloaded the stock ND8 ROM and attempted to Odin it in, but the update failed, which I'm assuming is a result of Knox for some reason or another. The question is, is ND8 the most current ROM? If not, what is the most current stock ROM so I can get that to work with, and if so, how can I install this with Knox in place?

ND8 is the latest for Sprint http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2738533 NDC is the latest for Boost/Virgin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2774333

Knox will not prevent you from Odining anything. If you try to Odin any stock ROM older than what the version of your bootloader is, the phone will brick, but you can Odin the stock ND8 tar all you want. You may or may not know this, but be sure to unzip what you downloaded because the tar file is inside.
You can also (separately) Odin recoveries like the very latest Philz Touch Recovery tar.md5, and which is the only one known to work 100% under TouchWiz 4.4.2 on the SPH-L710.

I did unzip the download to get at the tar.md5 inside. That's what's failing to work with Odin. What is the most current version of Odin? I've been working with 3.04, but I'm not sure if that will work with the newer ROMs, though this has never been an issue in the past, so I doubt this is the problem.

FYI, I prefer (and successfully use with ND8) v3.07 because for some reason it allows me to uncheck the auto reboot checkbox after loading the tar, but with v3.09 it stayed grayed out. I didn't investigate if that's configurable via the ini file.
Another thought. With just one other person the problem was what they used to unzip it. What did you use? Whichever it was, try something else like 7-zip, or 7-archiver on the phone.

Turns out the error was located between the chair and the keyboard.... I had built a new computer since the last time I had used Odin, as a result, I completely spaced the need to run it as an administrator...

[Q] Can't receive sms after flashing stock

Hello everyone,
So ill start out telling you my long journey through the numerous roms I've flashed.
First flashed cm11 4.4.2, then to 4.4.3. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Next flashed liquid smooth 4.4.4, nothing else was wrong until I noticed my calls took
a while to connect. Then I got multiple and duplicate sms messages all at once that were usually late.
So I tried to restore my first cm11 backup, then I started to lose all texting ability. So I tried to revert back to
stock and unroot. Success
Now everything works fine (calls, data, sending sms etc.) But I still can't receive any text messages.
I am running the stock 4.4.2 Rom from Seminole with no root access. I've contacted sprint and gone
through all of those hoops to no avail. Is there a way to fix this? I would greatly appreciate any help..
Thanks

Any idea?

I don't know if this would help this particular problem, but did you try on a stock ROM in the stock dialer:
##72786#
Then when it finishes, update PRL and Profile from Settings / More /About Device

[Q] Help rootin my spring sgs3 4.4.2

I went through all these steps with no success at rooting:
1. Turned on developer mode.
2. enabled usb debugging
3. booted into download mode (Vol down/home/power).
4. started odin 3.0.7
5. left autoreboot and reset time checked.
6. pressed "bin" and selected the "CF-Auto-Root-d2spr-d2spr-sphl710.tar.md5" file
7. clicked start and let it reboot.
I've also tried unchecking autoreboot and after odin was finished, pulled out the battery and rebooted manually. Why can I not get root access? Please help!

CF-AutoRoot has only worked on TouchWiz 4.4.2 for a few people. Most of us either flash the latest SuperSU.zip downloaded directly from Chainfire's website or use Philz Touch Recovery's re-root option in the Advanced menu I think.
Personally, after CF-AutoRoot failed for me I had to re-Odin either (I forget which) the stock ROM and Philz, or just Philz.

the latest Philz is 6.48.4 and i used the .Tar.Md5 Odin flashable and you can always try using Towel root

Hell, just flash the already rooted but completely stock either Odexed or DeOdexed stock ND8 ROM put up by Cnexus in development (non-original).

Just flash an already rooted custom ROM like what's in my signature, or if you want completely stock but rooted, you can find Cnexus' Odexed (like original stock is) and Deodexed (more easily modded/themable) copies of ND8 in the development (non-original) section.

I'm just looking to be able to tether my phone for internet access to my laptop. My understanding is that root will give me this access (on sprint obviously). Not sure I want to do a custom rom as I don't really fool with y phone in that way much. Gonna try the deodexed and see how well that works.

Can I flash the rooted deodexed with philz recovery? I just tried it and my phone still doesn't show as rooted. I went into recovery and selected install zip/choose zip from /sdcard and selected the deodexed zip. What gives?

I think the de-odexed worked cause now I have root access. Thanks for all the help!

You're welcome!
Did you flash the Deodexed tethering mod (also in the same section as the rooted stock you used)? It's great having unlimited free tethering.

Is rooting that simple?

So I am about to load the ND8 stock tar over my MD4 rom (because I want to ultimately load the latest CM11)... but I am confused.
One of the posts here seems to loosly suggest that after loading the samsung stock tar of MD8, I can simply follow up with ODIN of TWRP. From there I can then load any rooted rom and have root?
Is this right? Seems that in the past, one needed root before installing a recovery.

Yes, but I highly recommend Philz Recovery over TWRP, it has zero problems with TouchWiz and AOSP, TWRP seems to have problems with TouchWiz. Philz also has a root option in the recovery so you can just root your stock ROM and download SuperSU from the Play Store and done.

Then just run it through Odin (I suggest you uncheck Auto Reboot and wait until it says PASS and then pull the battery and go into Recovery, go to Philz settings and there will be a ReRoot option. Then reboot and download SuperSU from the Play Store, and you have root).
