I recently let the ota update of mf3 on my galaxy s4 I then proceeded to root it only to get the wifi tether Apk but was unable to do so. I ultimately I noticed the device only shows roughly 800mbs of storage available with only 8 gbs used including the 6.38gb system memory I have a 64gb micro sd with Everything on it instead of on my devices storage in the graph under storage in settings free space is half of the graph although in its own category it only shows 800mbs free

I was told I could not factory reset after rooting mf3 that it would or I guess could brick the phone and then there would be nothing I could do to recovery at that point.

That's your internal sd card. Android uses a bunch of it.
I don't think it's the root that did it it's just the root keeping me from doing a factory reset I had root before with mdl and at one point been running the Google edition rom then used Odin to go back to factory had root again but just stuck with touch wiz after that I'm assuming something got gunked up somewhere that is keeping an extra system software that I can't seem to get to or remove since at no point since having the phone did I even have mov/pics/music/apps ect to account for all the missing storage

Doing a factory reset on your phone has nothing to do with the root, it will not brick it. I know this from my own experience with the MF3. You will simply just lose root. Period.
OK great does it matter that before I did the ota update that I had twrp recovery and when the phone boots up it still has the custom boot screen with the unlocked lock?

For some month's ago i had a Galaxy S Plus and i liked it, but i wanted to flash a custom ROM on it. So i updated it with Odin to the newest stock firmware, and i innstalled Clockworkmod so i could flash a custom ROM.
So i flashed the custom ROM (MoonRom) on it using AROMA innstaller and it went successfully. And i used the ROM for one day, and it was fast, and so on, and had a funny sound when u pressed on the dialer keypad, like a water drop sound
I liked the ROM, but i wanted it back to stock (warranty reasons) .So i put to phone into download mode and i used Odin + the pit file and flashed it back to stock firmware and wiped out and formatted everything on it using recovery mode.
And later i used the phone dialer, and the keypad sounds from the custom ROM was still there, after i reflashed it????
I was extremely confused i flashed a billion stock firmwares on there and that water drop sound when u tapped the dialer keypad was still there. I had formatted it and everything and it was still there after flashing back????
I know own a Galaxy S II, and i will never flash somethign custom on there i am afraid that if i do that and then reflash back. Something on the old rom will ble left.
After that i gave my mom the phone. And i was extremly confused...
Maybe the keypad sound is left on the sd card?

So do you know any way to get the keypad sounds back??? And also the keyboard sounds are also left from the custom ROM.
If you flashed back using Odin then its impossible that the sounds remain.
I can make you a flash package that should enable the stock samsung sounds if you really want it? You just have to tell me what firmware you will be running i.e. Gingerbread or ICS?

Flashing roms, tinkering, working out issues and resolving them, making device better is what XDA is about and where the enjoyments is, If you dont like that or dont have the aptitude, patience to learn why are you even here or have a Android device?
My suggestion is to get a Nokia 3310 or an iPhone, Or at least do not come here and bore us with stories about why you dont want to flash your phone.

Ah, seems my advice from above is not applicable to the S3 series. Samsung moved where the IMEI is actually located or something because, from what I have found, it is not located in /efs.
So uh, for the moment aside from literally backing up every single partition on your device I do not know of a working method of backing up your IMEI to prevent corruption.

I've flashed half a dozen CWM recovery versions so far and haven't "lost my imei" yet, and don't see why it would.
(FWIW, I'm currently using http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.7-d2att.img for ATT and simply dd'd it over partition 18 like all the rest. CWM-flashable versions shouldn't make any difference, though)

DD is much safer as you're just doing a block copy from one device to the other so it's a kernel level copy that is pretty safe as long as you're targeting the right partition. However flashing things could go wrong and it could overwrite a partition or unmount it or something that could lead to these issues

It all depends on how you're flashing bro. If you're flashing via cwm, and then that's not increasing your flash counter. The only time the counter is increased is if you're flashing none official files via Odin.
The 1 in your flash count is probably from the initial flash of cwm via Odin when you first rooted your phone.

It's a program that is used to reset your flash counter back to zero so Samsung won't be able to tell you flashed non official firmware on your phone at some point. Basically it comes in handy if you want to keep your warranty on your phone.

Updated to 4.1.2 today and tried to root with exynos abuse but it fails to root. However, the exynosabuse app states that it is still exploitable. This to me does not make any sense. Especially when a little bit of research led me to an article stating the exploit had been patched.
So what is it, has the exploit been fixed or not? If it has been fixed, then why would exynosabuse say that it is exploitable?

This just confirms that we WONT be getting an update any time soon to 4.4.
Both Samsung and ATT have some sort of BS going on. Probably something with the additional bloatware not working with 4.4 and is the reason why they have not released 4.4 to the public.
This type of BS may push me over the edge with both Samsung and ATT.
Samsung needs to pull an Apple and not allow any carriers to add junk to their phones, thats one thing I respect about Apple.

Well my phone somehow managed to update itself while in my Otterbox holster. I lost my root. Is it safe to re-root using Kingo again?

The same thing happened to me. This sucks. I guess I should have froze future updates through Titanium Backup. We may be temporarily screwed.

Just rerooted using Kingo Root and seems to have worked. It did seem to take longer than I remember last time but i'm rooted again after this mornings update.

I am trying to re-root using Kingo but my phone keeps rebooting as Kingo root program says "waiting for device". I remember there being something special I had to do to get it to root last time. What did you do to root yours again?

Just made sure the phone had USB Debugging on and put it in MTP mode when plugged into USB. Other than that I just let Kingo do its thing. It did reboot one time during the root process but was re-detected by Kingo after restarting and the process continued. Also got the warning about mtkCamera being potentially unsafe during part of the process but told it to goahead anyway. Using Kingo 1.2.0
