If you get a message that you can't update because you have modified something you can try triangle away it has an option to disable root for a few minutes after you reboot the phone.
Let me know how it goes. Good luck :thumbup:

Everything is working perfectly, except i cant get multi window manager to work on mdl firmware it worked fine when i was on mdb when i could add all apps without dragging them now i have to drag them. I dont know if this is just the firmware or what. But thank you so much
Glad it worked! I have the same problem, the dev needs to update the app, until then I think I can live with that :beer:

Just got a Device Management update available message on my S4 this morning. Anyone have an idea of what it's for? I won't be installing anything until I know I won't lose root.
Are you on MDL or MF3? If MDL, it's probably the MF3 update and I'd use a custom rom. If MF3, then I have no clue

MDL.
Careful on Wi-Fi if it's downloaded because it will auto update if you reboot for any reason. Better freeze what needs frozen and delete the update. This came out a month ago.

That's why you flash a stock rooted MF9 ROM if you want to be on the latest and rooted.

S4 rebooting as soon as I boot it!?
Hi!
So I followed Djembeys guide to root my s4 back when ME2/MF2(or smthn in that matter)was the newest firmware avable. But now I wanted to go back to stock and update my phone and as stated in the guide that would be no problem, well OTA didn't work so i did it via Kies. It worked as expected for a while before my phone started freezing and rebooting itself forever, like as soon as i get into the launcher.
Things I've tryed to do:
*Checking in download mode that everything is official, it is, and the phone doesn't seem to reboot while in download mode, should I flash a stock rom, I mean, what if the phone shuts off in the middle of the process?
*Doing a factory data reset via stock recovery, the "android" in recovery falls down and a triangle at his stomach. However the data reset worked, but it didn't solve the problem, still reboots but now when the phone is trying to set itself up.
What can i do guys? You think i can send it back to the store seeing everything is official in download mode?
I rooted MF3 and all I have is root, is there anyway I can return back to stick with complete restore? If not, I can just back everything up. I will do it no matter what. My phone is working just fine, just wanted to go back to stock?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
If you mean unroot, then you unfortunately cannot do that at the moment. There is no MF3 factory image to flash back to, as of now at least.

What do you mean, back to stock? The way it came out of the box? The way it is now unrooted? Not sure what you want to do. And how are you backing it up?
Apps don't matter to me. I can send all my pictures and text messages etc. To the computer. I mean unroot, sorry. But since there isn't any, I will just have to wait it out. Thanks for the information.

It's probable that you can unroot. Do you have super su? You can do an unroot in settings within it.
Yes, I have super su, is that safe? Then I will do it?

I've never tried it with mf3 so I can't answer that. It works on other firmware. Why do you want to unroot?
Because, I've always had bad luck with root and everything never works for me when I try it. Once a stable rom comes out, I will try my luck, but not at this moment.

Good choice. Sorry I can't be of more help
I don't think just rooting is going to cause issues. Keep it and enjoy those benefits for now.
My BackUp Pro is good for backing up most things on phone. Of course you got Titanium BackUp too.
I didn't even want to flash roms on this phone. After years of doing it I was getting tired. But, did it anyway. I like TW, so don't care about aosp etc. All I really gained from flashing was some theming and nandroids. Phone, I thought, was exceptional even unrooted.
There is now stock available which was taken from Samsung Kies. Just download the file and you'll be able to flash it in odin!
Can you provide a screen shot... Last anyone knew there is no MF3 on Kies.

Your unedited post made it sound like you already ran it--
"Just make sure you're on windows and it'll work beautifully! It was only til recently that mf3 started to show up through Kies. Thank AdamOuler, he's the real genius behind all of this!:
I don't know about complete restore, but some people where successful on unrooting on mf3. I didn't try it. If anybody is interested, here it is:

Update: just did the unroot method on mf3,and it fully unroot when I used root checker, it said sorry. So I guess it gone. Still runny fine five minutes after.

Does anyone know if there's a legit way to root s4 i337 MK2? I keep getting conflicting info.
I tried Kingo Root yesterday. So far it seems to be working great. During the process, I received several pop ups to install software that was considered potentially harmful. I cancelled each install and was still able to gain successful root. While prices was simple and took about 5 minutes.

In the mf3 thread they said kingo is not recommended. Is there a reason it's not? I used kingo on mf3 and if it works on mk2 without problems I'd like to use again as I don't need custom recovery or roms. But I'm afraid of att updating again and it screwing my phone,

Jeesh. It worked so well too. Wish it could be reversed engineered to see what they did to root.
To answer your question, No there is no verified safe method to root MK2 if you are not already rooted prior to update.

Do you know if anyone is working on a root for this update?
Kingo works for MK2. I can confirm it worked with no added instability or apparent issues on the 2 I337 devices I've messed with. But is it reliable? Well, it does send your IMEI to a Chinese server for some unknown reason. You can try Vroot if you want but it's definitely not as 'user friendly' if you catch my drift.

XDA evidently considers Kingo malware, so no link from here. But just type "kingo galaxy s4 root" into Google and it should be the top result. Their website states that it is for the i9500, but it has been confirmed for the i337. As always, USE THIS PROCEDURE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

I'm trying to get it to work im on MK2 stock....I'm at work though so i'll report back if I get it done.
My warranty just ended and i wanted to try a one click root method. I saw a lot of samsung users on youtube using towelroot so I decided to try that. I downloaded the app, the first time i clicked make it rain, it read, phone is not currently supported. In the video discription it gave a different modstring for sprint model s4's. So i tried that, and i got the same message. None of the modstrings seem to work and ive tried many other root apps but i prefer towelroot. I dont have a computer on hand to use odin and i really want to use a one click method. How far away will the next update be to fix towel root and if not any other one click apps??
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you took the NG2 update, Towelroot won't work. That loophole is currently closed.
And don't ask when something will be updated. The devs here do this for free and have personal lives to worry about. They'll get updates out when they get updates out.
