I'm not sure why, but I'm having a really hard time deciding if I should root this. Have a Gnex, rooted and customized roms, and I like it... but for some reason I want to keep this more pure. Probably sounds stupid, I'll probably end up doing it anyway, and enjoying it, but for now I feel hesitant.
Maybe I'm just weird

I bought the tablet knowing i was going to root it, I left it at stock for a couple of days to get a feel for the machine before I took the plunge. Don't regret it a bit.
How I just have to get past the required 10 posts before xda allows me to post in the developer section. I've compiled ParanoidAndroid and want to contribute to the post in that section.

You guys have prob seen a thread like this a million times, but I am getting my nexus 4 soon and I wasn't sure if i should root it or not. I have rooted before (droid x2, galaxy nexus, nexus 7) so I am fairly familiar with how the process works. I will not loose my updates from Google if I root and stay on stock ROM? That's what I would plan on doing anyways if I did. Thanks for the help!

Just Google some of the benefits of having root.. if any of those sound appealing to you then... root it. If not, don't. Buuuut since you've already been rooted with several devices, you should already know if you should root or not. But thanks for making a new thread for this personal decision that you've made 3 times before

In his defense this is a different devices I rooted and flashed rooms on my gs3 and gs2 but have not rooted or anything to this device but the key is yet right now haven't found a huge reason to do so this rom works perfectly for me and I get a days use out of it

I just couldn't stand it no more and rooted after 1 month. Also flashed clockworkmod.
Went to Nightly Mako.
I love the device but feel the new Clockwork mod's blobs folder, unable to access backups so easy, and the dam memory size...
I hesitate and hope Nightlies are flawless. Frankly its awesome. So are is the Stock ROM.
I just prefer CM10.1
ROOT!!
If I were to flash nexus 4 PA would I need to wipe system as well as do a factory reset in recovery? The directions just say factory reset.

You had better gain root... Gaining root denotes a gain not a loss. Unlocking the bootloader means your unbacked data would be lost. So back up data and root and enjoy. And yes you may wipe system I recommend it.

Yes.
Hi all I'm new to the forum and am seeking advice on the tab.
1. Root or not?
2. Best custom ROM?
3. Common problems with it?
I have had three of these and all came from bby and sent the 3rd one to Asus RMA and still having problems
Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2
Guess most of it has already been asked around here.
Root? Sure, if you want, nothing bad about root. But be careful, without reading you can end up with a brick. So if you do it, read! Don't necessarily read all threads about people complaining about their bricked devices - scared me as far as not to root it before having nvflash (if that'll ever be available again that is...)
Custom ROM? Depends on what you like, though if you're using a dock you should stick to CleanROM. As far as I heard this is the only ROM that really supports dock.
Common problems. Well, I think there's some thread where people talk about their experience with some problems

They both grant the user root access so it's basically the same thing.
Custom Rom or nothing ! It's totally worth it.

Hey guys, I've been looking into rooting my s4, i9505 version running MDM firmware. the cf-auto root doesn't work with MDM (according to that thread) and all the other root solutions seem to be for i9500.
So, is anyone running i9505 MDM firmware rooted? can you pls link me to a working solution to root my s4?
Thanks.

First I link you to xda rules ok.
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=xda+rules
I have searched. and I explained what I've found. I also asked a specific question about rooting my phone, the specific phone I have (MDM i9505). I haven't found any solutions so far. I have been checking the forums on a daily basis more than once in recent days. you two above this post could not be less helpful. You tell me to search, when I have. If there is a root for my phone, why didn't you point me in the right direction? or is it easier to make fun of people when you don't have an answer? thanks for nothing.
Im on MDM and rooted.

@muhamet, I have a question, those are rooted roms, not just rooted kernel. I have seen those. Will that mean I will loose all my apps etc? thanks both.
edit: one more question. do I have to root to install custom roms in the future? The only reason I am looking to root is to be able to install roms when I decide which one I want to run. Or do roms come with rooted kernels and all I have to do is flash them via recovery? thanks.

Actually - the guy has a very legit question so before you flame him !
I have been in these forums for years and i can honestly say this S4 thread is one of the most mixed up in here !
These rooting questions NEED TO BE MUCH CLEARER, Especially for lots of new people coming in.
Dedicated Thread only for Root I9505 And which root method works - you look around and its in original dev and Android Dev.
Same for I9500 !
Then there is stock / hybrid / custom roms, Pre rooted so no wonder these questions get asked !
Root should only be in one Forum thread for each device and not mixed !
Now im fortunate enough to know what im doing ! but there is going to be so many repeat questions asked in here that its asking for trouble and bricked devices.
It really does need cleaning up.
thx

I hope this thread will help others, some less experienced android users. The s4 is only my 2nd ever android phone (s2 was the first) and I'm not as knowledgeable as some of you on here.

Completely agree as a s2 root newbie I've started to learn the ropes a bit more running custom roms on the s3 for the past year or so. The issue of two different phone models in the same area is bound to cause confusion. I have to check twice, I've loaded up the i9500 development section before not paying attention thinking it was i9505 lol.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
thing is, I used ODIN to root my s2 and put recovery on it some 2 years ago, after that it was a case of downloading .zip files (roms) and flashing them via recovery so I have forgotten quite a few things about rooting etc since 2011. but hey, I'm ready now... waiting for a nice rom to come.
I jumped in and got a contract straight away on the s4 from the s3. I don't mind. I got a good deal. But in hindsight I'm going to wait a good few months for any others devices. I'll see this out on its 24 month contract by then god knows what will be out there. Hopefully some custom kernels with voltage control will be released too. Finding crackling through headphones atm.

Ok, so after rooting, recovery doesn't load anymore. Phone just boots normally. Any ideas?
Hi all,
I've been running Omni, but I just upgraded to a nexus 5. What would be an ideal rom that doesn't need to be updated regularly and I can install franco's kernel on before giving it to her?
Thank you

I think that the best rom to give to her is stock kit-kat. The reason is that it doesn't need to be updated much and if it does it will do it automatically. Also if she has a problem she can take it to a phone shop or ask google without the rom being a problem.
Thats just my opinion though.
Yeah, what's wrong with stock?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Stock. Not rooted. Unless you live with her and are willing to deal with any issues she may have. Custom ROM's, while great, aren't always complete and are meant for those that understand that there are some "bugs". The stock ROM at least will be easy to update.
My other half has a nexus 4 as well. She is a woman so you get the idea.
She is super happy with the stock rooted jellybean. It is rooted just because I didn't want her to click on ads and buy shoes from dodgy sellers. Adaway was the solution for me.

I hate to do this but I'm in a rush here don't shoot me...
I am having a hell of a time trying to get TWRP recovery installed.. I have a AT&T SGH-I337 4.4.2 stock rom (rooted).
Tried every way thru TWRP manager no dice...
What is the trick????
Ok EDIT:
Found out i can't use TWRP on NC1 will look into safestrap. mod you can close this thread or delete.

I'm with ya 100% I was just in a huge rush I needed to get this phone fixed fast and get it back to my sister and brother in law. I would have never done it otherwise.
I tried to update all the posts accordingly, I will make sure they are showing that I have solved the issue.
