First off im not a noob. i have/had a nexus s; captivate, att sgs2 all rooted flashed and the sort. my wifes atrix 4g is a mystery. it could be because i havent spent as much time with it as the other phones but anyway heres the prob: when she got her phone it was running either 2.2 or 2.2.xx cant remember but i rooted it using gingerbreak. then she did the gingerbread update on top of the root. here is the problem. the phone still has the supersuser app and looks like its rooted but its not. how do i remove all of the the components of the root then reroot? theres nothing wrong with the phone it works fine no problems whatsoever. a lil info any advanced users could use: system version 4.5.91.mb860.att.en.us running 2.3.4 kernel 2.6.32.9-00001-g41bc3e0 [email protected]#2 build# 4.5.91
any help will be appreciated. ill try to check this tread as often as i can. we just had a newborn 3 weeks ago and a 2yr old running around as well as working full time. feel free to send a pm with any question r possible solutions. thx

What makes you think its not rooted?
In any case, try "re-rooting" using the info in this thread.
Any app that requires root permissions says its not rooted. ill try that and see what happens. thx

Try Root Checker to see if you are rooted.

so if you can help me downgrade and root I would give u money through paypal (If im rooted =D)
so give me ur msn or aim and Ill add you and you tell me how to do =D
Well the first question is... Were you rooted before receiving update? Is your phone S=off, what bootloader version do you have?
Quick answer to if you werent rooted before OTA, then no root is available at this time.

Hi...It has been a long time since I have posted in this forum because I thought I had bricked my phone and given up.....somehow I got out of it and now I need your help again.
What originally happened is that I tried to restore my phone with pd115.img so that I could sell it to someone that wasn't exactly tech savvy... being a dumbass I make the mistake of booting with pd115 not knowing that I should have restored JUST my radio first...anyways this pretty much screwed me...until somehow I restored it to a working ROM(because there was no ROM on it before)...so I am now trying to root my phone....again...so that I can run the radio update and then the pd115 that will completely restore my phone to stock. Problem is I can't get VISIONary to work at all... i tried permaroot..didin't work, so i tried the same way I did originally which was temp root and then terminal method..but i don't think the temp root is even working...when i click it, it just kind of flashes...i thought i remembered it doing more work then that, anyways, can someone help me please?
Is your current ROM not rooted? Or do you have root access, you just can't S-OFF or change ROMs?

I rooted yesterday
Was really easy. Im just a little bit carefull when it comes to rooting a new phone. Soo i always check here before i root stuff.. Mostly phones.
Just dont know how i can install clockwork mod recovery. Its not supported with my phone yet...
And i have bought the app long ago. Ill have to wait. Its very easy and smooth to flash custom room with that app. You dont even need a computer for it.
Anyways. Thanks. I got root now.
..
*bump*
Will the first link in this old thread still work?
http://techglen.com/2013/10/06/root-samsung-galaxy-s4-one-click-versions-guide/
My phone was perfect before. Broke, repaired, and i need CM, and all.
Thinkning about flashing a recovery and go from there. Just reading a bit now.
But, if this still works, then it would be nice.
But now im running.
4.4.2

(When they wiped my perfectly set up phone, and installed that original samsung rom.)

Dont wanna mess up something, and this bootloader thingy. Dont know if its locked or unlocked. I got this knox app on my samsung bloatware original firmware right now.
Thanks
If anyone can point me to a tutorial on how to root the newest update please do

None. Help test if you want it faster.
At the moment rcartaz09 and Faznx92 are right. There are no confirmed ways to root 13.3.2.1 and 14.3.2.1 just yet. If you want to stay up to date on things I recommend taking time to go through the forum for this device and read through them carefully: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2540
Also two threads I found to stay up to date on this topic are the following. Just simply read, follow up, and be patient:

Help update root New 13.3.2.1
So I understand that there is a new update out and I'm wanting to upgrade to it. I'm currently rooted and have xposed installed. I was wondering if I will keep root and not have to wipe my device.
If I have to re-root it, could someone please show me the steps to take? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

Yes, to upgrade to the newest firmware you will lose root and more then likely have to fully wipe your phone, just make sure you back everything up. The root method is the same as when you 1st rooted your phone, but I will leave you a link to the root thread. Always try to search for the answer's before asking question's. Hope this helps you out buddy Click here

Hey bud I hope I caught you before you took the update. I would read the stock rom thread for that update. Something about not updating the bootloader . I have not taken the update as of yet so I dont know about it but here is the thread for it. You might want to ask in there before updating.
