I had a rooted S4 running stock ROM. Unfortunately, I STUPIDLY did the MK3 update without really thinking about it or researching it. As expected, it got rid of my root ability. Only after that did I find out that I couldn't reroot yet. So here's my question. I've used root explorer to see if the Superuser apk is still showing in the system/app directory, which it isn't. So I uninstalled the Superuser apk that was still showing in my applications list (do updates automatically move the apk to a non-system directory?) and restarted my phone. Unfortunately, the "Custom" logo is still showing on the boot screen. Does anyone know of a way to get rid of that? I'm sure root will be reestablished sometime in the future, but I'd hate to have something happen to my phone that required repair and me still have the "Custom" thing showing.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hey guys , my friend has a nexus 4 and he got a notification to install android 5.0 and he did , the installation went on smoothly but now none of the google apps work including playstore even the check for updates option in settings is not working , all of them crash as soon as you open them , his phone has become a paperweight , He is on full stock , never rooted and i was wondering what is the best thing to do , to make his phone work as usual ,
1. Would a factory reset work?
if not .. do i root it?
2.If i wanted to root it - do i follow the same procedure as 4.4.4 kitkat root procedure?
Any thing else that could help us would be greatly appreciated
Thanks guys!

Yes, try a factory reset but that will wipe all your user data so backup anything important to a PC. If factory reset doesnt help, download and flash the factory image. Rooting will come after you have a working phone with lollipop installed. To root, flash a custom recovery (or boot into one) like twrp, then flash the latest supersu zip (2.35 I think).
I've tried various root methods without success, last one worked BUT was unable to access the play store, "my files" section or the basic package installer, making it imposible to disable the knox security log for the notification issue and everytime I successfuly root it I can install busybox, supersu and root checker but beyond that I am unable to proceed further. When I restarted the phone it stays stuck in the att boot logo while vibrating from 2-3 times on a loop.
From that point on I have to wipe memory/cache and start all over again...
I Started up the phone without supersu but even that it has factory reset, there is lag from the phone.
anyone help?
I'll post device info
there's also a problem I found myself trying to fix the first problems after rooting it was a "dm-vareity verification" problem, son't know if I spelled correctly but that was basically what it said
Thanks In Advanced. :laugh:
Im a dumb kid and i dont know what im doing but i rooted my phone and everything was working fine but now for some reason i cant install any apps from the play store or any apks ive tried clearing the caches and even a factory reset but nothing will work someone please help me
Need more information but as it's stated it would appear that certain play store apps do not like rooted phones. See link below http://www.androidauthority.com/google-play-store-apps-download-block-root-users-773824/
Nothing works
But i cant install any apks either. I have the outside sources enable but no matter what app i use it says the package is corrupted.
Try to flash the stock firmware using the Lg bridge app and try repairing a failed update. The phone will have the stock firmware without root but with the unlocked bootloader. It can solve some software problems during update sometimes.
