My T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919) was rooted and I have been running CyanogenMod for years.. Right now on Lolipop 5.0.2
Months ago I had to do a restore and I think it was then that I lost root.
I want to root the phone again, but I am using the CWM Recovery v6.0.5.0. I know how to root the factory version of my phone but I dunno how to do it to my CWM/CyanogenMod phone.
Can someone offer me advice on how to re-root this device now that it is not in a factory configuration?
Appreciate it.

Flash latest supersu zip with twrp
Thanks. Of course that worked. I used CWM vice TWRP. Really appreciate it. I have another question about switching from CWM to TWRP. Will ask in a new thread.

Hello, I moved onto a Note 3 but I recently took my VZW Galaxy Nexus out of the drawer it was in and I am going to use it as a secondary device at home on wifi only.
I'm rooted and running a 4.2.2 ROM, can I simply flash a Kit Kat ROM?
On the Note 3 there was a very specific process to upgrade involving flashing firmware update in odin.
Is anything like that required here or can I just flash a KK ROM like any other ROM?
Thanks in advance for the help. I feel like I should know this but when I went from ISC to JR back in the day, I took the VZW update and just maintained root with supersu pro.

Make sure you have the latest recovery twrp or cwm. Also make sure to use kitkat gapps. Everything thing will just work like normal as far as installing.
Thanks much. I was hoping it'd be this easy.
Before I start I will say iI did check out the search function for more than one hour and felt pretty lost amidst the technical discussion going on. I'm still reading about Android and learning so your help will be greatly appreciated.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-I747M) soon after its launch in Canada. It came with Jellybean and after a while I updated it to Kitkat using the "check for updates" area in the phones settings.
My question is basically is out possible to root the device after I updated it. Or is it possible to go back to Jellybean and then root it from Jellybean?
I have tried to flash the stock Jellybean ROM onto it and it just doesn't work at all. Odin loads stuff for 5 seconds and it fails.
Other than going back to Jellybean is there any way to Root my phone if it's on Kitkat now? I'm not concerned about warranty etc due to age of the device and it would be gone already anyways.
Thank You!

Once you are on KK, you cannot downgrade the bootloader so don't bother trying to downgrade to JB using firmware from sammobile.com. Do this may brick your phone.
Does your phone have a custom recovery? If not, you could try flashing Philz for the d2lte and install supersu from recovery.

No it does not. Thanks I'll try that. How do you install super so froom recovery and would i get root access?
Thanks so much!!!
In order to flash supersu, you will need to install a custom recovery onto your phone. Doing this will automatically void your warranty.
today i rooted, flashed the most recent version of twrp on a stock n7100.
I did all this via Skipsoft unified android toolkit and intended to flash DItto note 4 on the n7100.
Ive done this before since i own another Note2 with Cyanogenmod X currently installed, coming from DN3.
on that phone i have current version of twrp and bootloader OD4.
I flashed the new OD4 bootloader on this newly rooted phone but i have been stuck at the samsung screen since then.
ODIN completed the flash successfully with no errors so i do not understand why i am experiencing this problem.
I have a TWRP backup though.
Can anyone help me sort this out.
THe device still boots into download mode but not into recovery.
Thanks

Hello Guys. Need a little help. Have a rooted Note 2 i317 (At&t) that had a custom rom but I wiped with the recovery on it which was TWRP 2.4.3.0. Now I tried putting the NOTE 4 rom for the model I have but it won't take. Again I have TWRP 2.4.3.0. the only rom I can get to work so far is Slimbean 4.3. Is there any thread were it gives me required files for updating the rom. I have tried updating kernel and other stuff but the only rom that works without a problem is Slimbean 4.3 with the Gapp 4.3 pack.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know I f'd up by wiping without having full understanding but I've been away from Rooting since the older sammy's from Metro.
Also tried updating TWRP with the App and it gave me a notice saying "Something is wrong!" but it has version 2.8.7.0 on it at least that's what it says. IDKWTF happened. Please help. Going nuckin futs.
UPDATE: Got it figures out guys. Used another computer and everything is good. Used TWRP and Installed another version and performed a return to stock and started fresh. ALLGOOD. Thanks anyways.
