I have the voodoo root keeper app and I'm wondering if anyone that is rooted has tried using this app and installed the mf9 ota. Looking to avoid losing my root or causing a potential brick by downloading and just installing it. Thanks in advance!

If you are non rooted and on MDL you can just flash the ota zip. There's almost no chance of bricking.

I'm rooted and on the stock MDL rom. Only thing I've done is remove bloat

If you are rooted with stock MDL why even bother with the OTA? This will give you the same results without having to re-root or change recovery. Just follow steps in post #2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357471
Can't answer your question about the voodoo app though.

Does anyone know how to pull an app and its data from tb? I don't want to root quite yet, but I desperately need a certain app that I previously backed up before my upgrade to gs4.

UnRooting is quite easy if you're on MDC. Just Google unroot Samsung galaxy s4.

You can skip the part where he talks about getting the update. This root worked for me. You can change recovery after you're done.
Warning: not sure if there is an unroot. You might be able to flash back to unroot but I am not sure. If anyone knows please say so.

I have a galaxy s4 on at&t and have been wanting to root and load a custom rom. I found the thread to load a root load a custom rom and by pass bootloader. I noticed at the top of the thread it has update and says with Build Number I337UCUAMF3 that it won't work. Does anybody know how to root and load custom roms for this build number or am stucking waiting for a work around. Thank you for any replys.
You're stuck waiting for a work around.
Could I use odin to roll back to i337ucuamdl?
you are on hold sir.
Could just root to get WiFi tether back.

Ya some of us should have blocked the update from happening....
I am sad to say, that there is no way back to MDL, but I'm sure someone is working on a bootloader fix on MF3, so hold for awhile.
Ok. Hopefully soon. Getting bored of stock ROM.

With my Captivate (SGS1) and my SGS2 I flashed a new ROM every couple of weeks... with the SGS4, I love the stock ROM with some minor tweaks using Xposed.

Not rooted yet. Was thinking of it for wifi tether. But is rooting really worth it without being able to to unlock bootloader.

You can at least do more than what you can do now, with root, you can at least mod the rom your on.
So I tried to root using qbkings method with Odin and that failed and I had to do the unroot method. While this root method may have failed due to my cable not being the best as well as me not plugging my cable into the back of my computer. But I was just wondering. With the mf9 update can you flash a custom recovery via Odin and then flash a custom kernel and then finally flash super user in recovery to obtain root?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
All you have to do is use cf-autoroot. If you are using any other method to root mf9 you are doing it wrong and will have problems.
1. run cf-autoroot through odin
2. install custom recovery of your choice
3. profit
Why does everyone try to make it so complicated.

If you flash this through odin then you dont need to root cause its already rooted. If you are in stock yes you can just make sure you get no wipe data tar. If you dont wanna lose data

You can use either cf auto root and root the same way as you did with mdl or you can use crawj's mf9 stock rooted tar and odin that to get rooted.

OK thanks alot for the speedy reply. Didn't know if the cfauto root would work with the mf9 build. I did searh, but couldn't find anything. I did see the options u mentioned though.

Could you elaborate or post a link to a thread that describes how to either unroot or flash stock mk2 back?
I've heard that kies works for other carriers but AT&T hasn't sent any firmware to Samsung since MDL. I haven't found any mk2 files to flash via Odin to get back to stock either.
Mind explaining how please
