Yes, you'd have to install a stock ROM and make sure it isn't rooted. Make the phone look like it was when you got it, basically.

Or just flash stock gb with pc odin and do a full wipe, you'll lose root and cwm.

No, doesn't affect counter. Only flashing custom Roms and kernels will raise counter.

[Q] GS4 Active not working with utility

Having trouble getting the root exploit to work on an AT&T Galaxy S4 Active (blue) Model # SGH-1357. I am using the "l545 ALL-IN-ONE TOOL ROOT + RECOVERY INSTALLER."
The utility already worked on my GF's Verizon GS4. New drivers were used for the active. Gets to the utility where you uncheck f and select tar file, press start. Phone and utility both say fail.
Thanks,
Mike
p.s. paypal for devs ready

Root is unavailable for the Active as of now. The root tool you are using is not working because we have a locked bootloader.

Yes, and the s4 does too. But there is an exploit to get around the bootloader on the s4 but not the Active.

Geohot.com/activeroot Is where you can find the root solution. Still no bootloader remedy.

The current method available wipe's your data. No way around it.

This is true but if you don't want to wipe there will probably be a method eventually

I am not so sure about that. The version we have does not trip the knox counter and with the bounty being paid, i am not sure anybody is actively looking at an alternative root method that doesn't require wiping. Some other variants of the device can be rooted with the same tool/method from designgears and not be wiped but the vzw version is not one of them for whatever reason.

I used Helium from the play store and was able to back up without root and then used it after rooting to restore app data.

Sometimes stock Roms will restore stock recovery on their own.

Did it trip the knox ?
Using odin should change Knox void to 1.
