Hi all,
Just updated my S4 firmware via odin and now have all sorts of issues, SuperuserSU keeps telling me there is no Superuser binary installed and SuperuserSU can't install it, have tried numerous times re installing SuperuserSU with no luck at all, any suggestions?
Also I keep getting a system message saying "Prevention Information" SuperuserSU has been forced to stop for unauthoriszed attempt to acces system in your device.
Seems this new S4 firmware is a pain in the a**... Some help would be nice folks

If it's rooted try to uninstall Superuser and reinstall, if it doesn't work maybe you flashed a broken update?

I have the same issue since the last update from Samsung and the update is not broken. I guess more that the problem is a not 100% working root on this new firmwares like MH5, MH8 and so on. I also installed the officel version from Samsung (MH%, MH( etc.) and with all versions i got the same problems. Root do not work 100% in all cases and at the beginning i also could not use su correct.
Could it be that Samsung made a strange step forward to kick us out of the system and that root maybe will be not so easy as in the past!?!? Apple say hello at Samsung or what
Greetings

I got root working via cf auto root, however I can not seem to create a "virtual device" so I am going to flash a new rom and see if that helps, if not then I will be going back to an older version of the firmware!

not if you have the new bootloader you won't... You can't go to firmwares lower than the one which has the new bootloader. You are stuck with a large amount of people who also updated and now regret it...

Did the rom you flash have the new bootloader?
There have been a few released without KNOX or the bootloader and if you havern't actually upgraded the stock firmware you can go back to old firmwares...

Yep, no new bootloader in that rom. If you had flashed the stock MI1 rom then it would have the new bootloader and you wouldn't be going to a lower firmware... It also has KNOX disabled or completely removed.
As for anyone who has upgraded the STOCK firmware to MI1 or MH8 then you can't downgrade the firmware by flashing through ODIN or CWM...

When a device is rooted, firmware is modified (customised) so the update is not available as Samsung considers it as another firmware.
If you want to get OTA updates back, you must unroot first. Flashing again the stock firmware without rooting it will allow you to have OTA again.
You can also use TriangleAway in order to reset your flash counter for warranty purposes.

No, after returning to official status, you can use whatever you want to update (KIES, OTA and Odin).
May I suggest you to use the pre-rooted roms made for i9505. They are identical to stock roms, are already rooted and keep the official status.

Triangle away is just for reset flash counter. If you're now on official status and the Samsung's OTA is available, there is no need to keep it.
Anyway, in order to work, TriangleAway (TA) needs root. So if you're unrooted, you cannot use it.
For the other roms like cyanogenmod, there is no need of TA. Their updater will update the rom regardless of flash counter or status, as it cannot be official anayway !

triangle away didnt do it. i had to download OFFICIAL STATUS MOD(.tar.md5 and do it through odin.
now it really worked but triangle away isnt working anymore and SU says when opening: there is no SU binary installed and SuperSU couldnt install it. this is a problem.

today my phone gave the notification of a new update. it can download it but when trying to install it it gives an error that it cant install it ota and i have to use kies?
i better didnt root because it is a phone of my employer
As you received your OTA file, everything is back to normal. However, sometimes OTA may not work correctly. You should then update with KIES or use Odin to flash the correct version.
after a couple of Fails rooting my Gs4
i thought let go back to stock !
but all that happens when i try to install the stock fw i get this
sw rew. check fail :fused : 2 Binary : 1
and then its over.
what have i done wrong ?
You're very unlucky.You have already update new bootloader by Samsung.
And currently can not going back Rom before.You can flash rom MH8 by ODIN
Thanks

Samsung OTA'ed a few new roms, around the 4th of September. Unfortunately they supplied a new bootloader in the firmware updates that locked things down. You can't go back to lower firmware than the firmware on now. As it is the latest firmware you can't regress back to a lower version. MH8 is the best known version with the new bootloader but I have heard of other roms released around the same time, around the world, with different revision numbers, MGG may also be affected but not sure where....
If you have in fact got a new bootloader then you are in essence stuck with the new firmware until such time as it can be circumvented....
The new roms can be rooted however but you still can't flash an older rom on, not and expect it to work....

Yep, but then that's part of the new bootloader... Until it gets cracked so we can either replace it with an older bootloader or modified so it can be used, people who updated to the new bootloader will just have to live with it...

Sorry if this is a newbie question, but if I root my Galaxy Note 3 (N9005, Vodafone Australia), will it still get OTA updates?
I ask because I used to have a HTC Desire HD, and after rooting and installing Cyanogenmod, I tried to put the Nandroid backup of the stock rom back on, which was fine but for some reason wouldn't install the OTA updates. It would tell me there was an update and download it, but would fail to install.
Thanks!

If it does install you will loose root... But I believe if the system is found to be custom in any way it will fail on install of OTA or will actually tell you that the phone has been modified and no updates available for you

Thanks for the reply. Just out of curiosity about the HTC Desire HD that has since been given to a less tech-savvy relative, is there a way to unroot so the OTA update will work??
I rooted my N3 3 days after buying and then tried to get an OTA update. It didn't download first, as my phone was set to custom. After using Wanam's setting to "reset" the custom status, I could download the OTA update but couldn't install it.
Basically, with root you can still check if there's an official update available, but you can't install.

The boot loader and the os itself scan for certain things such as modified kernel/recovery or installation of busy box.
The Samsung's aren't so bad, you can just flash back the stock rom and factory reset to start getting ota updates again. On htc phones you have to unlock the boot loader to root and its a one way process. Once unlocked you can never get ota updates again.

i have the same problem here, i would like to update MK2 but i cant.
used wanam exposed for fake > failed @ installation.
do i have to unroot or factory reset for update?

thx
Once you have rooted, the system partition has been modified so Samsung doesnot allow you to OTA update. It checks MD5hash for the consistency. Factory reset doesn't help because it only format userdata partition.
If you r rooted, better go to sammobile.com, download the latest firmware version, copy it to sdcard and flash via Mobile Odin Pro. This way you can keep the old bootloader so you can fallback (downgrade) to the older firmware later.
Thank you.
what is when i tripped the knox count?
Its 0x1 now. I was on new bootloader before.

There must be a way of updating.
A couple of people have mentioned downloading from SamMobile and flashing back to stock. If I do this, what happens to twrp?
If twrp stays, I don't want it conflicting with a non-rooted phone (due to flashing stock) and being bricked
U can get upgrade with kiss not OTA but u must install wanamp exposed n change system into official. Its work on rooted stock rom.

I have a note 3 on verizon and i finally got it rooted on MJE. I have SuperSU installed as well as xposed installer as well as wanam xposed and a couple modules. I was trying to update via OTA and it constantly gives me error 402. I have tried hiding superuser and it says on odin? i believe that im on the offical rom and everything.
i just cant get onto kit kat no matter what i do. it downloads and once it tries updating i get the error.

You need to be unrooted stock to accept the OTA. Currently no way to root the ota. However there is a kitkat build (nc2) that was rooted. This is the build that everyone is working off of, so you can just flash the firmware / nc2 rom and you will be on kitkat rooted.
Thanks for the reply!
I've heard of people still taking the Ota while keeping root by putting supersu on survival mode though. Should I check that off and then click unroot in Supersu to take the Ota? Thanks

Now that T-Mobile has started soak tests for Android 5.1.1 for the S6, I went to the "Update" page in settings. I clicked update... and alas... it said my device has been modified in an "unauthorized way", and refused to update.
Hiding superuser from SuperSU's setting did nothing whatsoever. I have a custom kernel and I've rooted.
So a warning to all of you - don't root your phone if you want updates.

You need stock kernel briski
Odin
Stock kernel and stock recovery should be enough. Or flash the same ROM as you have on top on your current throught Odin, update and re-root. But I'm not sure that root is already available to 5.1.1
This apply to any brand root phone. No OTA will work with root phone, some more you in custom kernel.
Where could I get a stock kernel for Rogers mobile?
Actually anyone can still get ota normally if they just rooted their with everything stock kernel rom and so..

Then just re-flash stock recovery after rooting and you will be ok!!!
We all know that rooting borks the system files somehow as we all no longer have Deep Sleep after rooting so dropping stock recovery back resolved the issue for me and I no longer received the "modified" message when checking for updates. With TWRP recovery I do get the message. If that does not work for you then simply re-flash the stock rom, get your update (if any) and re-root if necessary.

Lot of conflicting info in this thread. I'm confused.
From what I understand, the latest Firmware update/OTA (OCF build, I am sprint) fixed the deep sleep issue. So if you have that build and applied root, you should still be good, right?
An if you apply root, you cant take an OTA because it modifies recovery. But you are saying if you root, then re-flash stock recovery, you maintain root and can still receive and OTA. Can someone confirm all this as accurate?
