http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2404136
i already looked at it but it seems that im only looking at like chapter 8 of a book and missing out on chapters 1-7 of it

lol. Heres a basic guide.
Do you have a recovery installed? If not download the apk form 4ext.net and install then open. Then install the recovery. Then go to bootloader and pick recovery.
Download the rom, copy it to your sd card (pick usb mount in 4ext and plug in your phone to the computer)
Wipe ALL your data from recovery
Pick install --> install from sdcard --> find the rom and press ok.
Have fun.

uhm sorry i got confused maybe i did something wrong but when i went to bootloader if wont let me go down to recovery and started updating but it failed so then it let me pick recovery but then it showed a phone and warning triangle on top of it and dont know where to go from there >.>
and 4ext is not free anymore >.>

Yes 4ext has a free version but you have to download from here --> http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk
Install the apk and recovery
Remove the update from your sdcard.
Then boot into bootloader then recovery
You are s-off right?

yes i am on s-off and here's the problem actually now
when i tried to do the bootloader part i didnt actually have recovery yet
now when i tried installing recovery it showed me this: (attached file)
I might have accidentally removed the busybox thingy coz i dont see the superuser icon at the applications anymore

here is an pd15img of cwm recovery and hboot,this is the best pack for noobs,though i removed radio from it,cause file was 15mb.non need for root just s-off and you are good to go flashing right away

[Q] Please Help Me! Root Galaxy S4

Okay well, I have a GS4 GT-I 9500 on android 4.2.2 KitKat.
I updated it from 4.3 to this version when I was in Russia.
And lately, I heard of rooting and stuff so I'm a total newbie!
So, I jumped for some tutorials on the web and I learned about Pc Odin, chainfire root, and CWM recovery.
I used first a method wich involved using odin to push the CF auto-root with PDA into the phone while on download mode. I got only 'reset' but no 'pass' would show. And no supersu icon will appear in my app drawer. After lots of tires and multiple Odin version changes I succeeded in having 'pass', but nope, "no proper root access"(via root checker).
So then I used Odin to put CWM recovery in the phone and enter it to "install zip from sd card" and installed the CF auto-root . zip. Lines start to flow and ends with a "Done". Then I go back to reboot and it says something like do you want to fix root located in... before root? I tried "yes - fix root" and "no - just reboot" And both didn't fix it for me.
Finally, I tried motochopper.zip that have some files wich needed developer mode to be enabled and USB debugging. I only had to hit enter in run.bat and it starts the rooting process. But immediately says failure and gives an error like "failure supersu already available"...
I would really appreciate any help. I need my device rooted soon, please. Thanks in advance.
P.S: While on download mode, it shows that my phone status is modified. I won't mind having to force a factory reset if it'll fix something.
Thanks a lot!

I wonder if my post is visible to others, I really need my phone rooted

there is an app called framaroot, available by searching xda or google, usually works for rooting samsung phones.
there is also a pc app called Vroot that works almost like magic, every device i plug in is rooted within 2 minutes, even without drivers!

Nope...

Framaroot doesn't support the GT-i9500 model. I also tried Vroot and it didn't work. I'm really sure it's something from the phone...

If you have Clockwork Mod Recovery on your phone now, find a Superuse.zip install package and flash that in recovery. It will work like a charm.

easy steps !
download & flash touch philz Recovery via Odin
then go to recovery and select re-root system > > yes apply ( Supersu )
Then download supersu from google play and he will ask you how do you want to update binary ,just click normal

YEAH!! Finally rooted

Any word on whether this root and recovery works on the 237P? I've gotta get the stock bloat off my free tablet.

If you have the 237P, I believe you need this thread to root your tablet. Make sure to read carefully, especially the most recent posts, as some have had trouble from not following directions carefully. Should work fine. Idk where you guys are as far as a custom recovery, but I'm all but certain this recovery will NOT work for your tablet.
Edit: On the thread I linked to, Post #15 has how to root info and Page 6 has the info about people messing up and what to do to correct that.

Do not download odin from this link!!
I rooted my tablet through this thread. It went smoothly , but one problem I had with the Odin download. It installed so much adware and malware without my permission or giving me a chance to decline anything, that my computer is totally screwed. I have had too do a full reinstall of windows due to this version of Odin. It has cost me money because I use my computer to design graphics for people and companies. If you don't believe me, try it out. But you can't blame me for being a bit ticked off because of this file screwing with my lively hood .

That's really crappy, I am truly sorry to hear that. You're right, that website is so shady I have a browser extension called WOT (Web of Trust check it out it's pretty handy) that wouldn't even let me go to the site. For your future reference, and anyone else reading this thread, I have attached Odin, both versions 3.07 and 3.09. They're attached to the bottom of this post, not hosted on any other site, I guarantee 100% both files are safe. They're both zip files, all you have to do is extract the folder inside to your desktop. Inside the folder will be two files. Double click the .exe to run Odin, it's that simple. Again, I'm so sorry you had to go through that mess, been there before, it's no fun.

Thanks for your quick response to my post. I just did not want others to go through what i went through. Luckily I had back ups of everything, but good news was, I rooted my tablet first try. lol. Thanks again.

Odin is installed on the PC. SuperSU (superuser) is an android app. You use Odin to flash the custom recovery (TWRP) onto your tablet.

TWRP is a custom recovery, you use it on your tablet to root (and possibly to install custom roms, if you wish). You download it as a .tar file to your PC, run Odin on your PC with your tablet connected via usb in download mode to your PC and flash the recovery file.

Just downloaded the file myself, everything is there (inside the tar - tar is an archive like zip or rar - there is a recovery.img, like there should be). It sounds like you're having trouble using Odin? Google hangouts if you want to chat with me, I had very good reasons to delete my facebook

Download this file to your PC and extract it. Run Odin and point it to that extracted file
When you're flashing your tablet with Odin you have to have your tablet in download mode
To boot your tablet into download mode, first turn it off, then hold down home, vol -, and the power button simultaneously.

Just sayin bro...
And btw some things just dont work well without a PC. Even though it might be possible to work around it you might just wanna do this on a computer with these commands in adb:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
and
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and then reboot

Why would you want cwm? TWRP is way better. Oh and your recovery is gone. You can be lucky that you didn't brick your phone. Next time, use TWRP instead and ONLY if you have the ability to restore everything with a PC. ONLY make such hard modifications to your phone if you have a PC nearby

Confirm that you're fully rooted using something like Root Checker

Ok, I suspect something may be wrong with your root or TWRP or ROM, which may be the reason for the odd problems.
So do check & confirm root anyway, & also tell us the versions of your TWRP & ROM (latter in Settings > About phone > Build number).

Try to find an older firmware version that can be flashed with Odin. Usually system updates patch exploits commonly used by one-click root apps, and only an older build will fix the issue. Hope this helps.

Okay thanks ☺

Hello sir
Follow my steps for successful TWRP/ROOT
1.)Download and install Samsung USB Drivers
2.)Download TWRP 3.0.2.0
3.)Download Odin
4.)Download SuperSU.zip file
For download links message me or add me on facebook facebook. com/fRoD.cs
After you complete this 4 steps shutdown your phone and enter into Download Mode
Volume Down + Power + Home
Select continue by Volume Up key
Now connect phone with usb cable into pc and run Odin as administrator
Click on AP box and select the twrp.tar file you download before
Go to Options tab and uncheck Auto Reboot, make sure that only F, Reset Time is checked and click start
After successfully installed TWRP , remove the battery, put it back and make sure that you go into recovery mode immediately!!! Volume Up + Power + Home
If you boot up the phone it will restore the original recovery. Thats why you need to go to recovery mode first.
First time you boot in recovery it will be shown a TWRP screen asking to allow modifications to system partition. Swipe to accept that.
Now select Install option and select SuperSU.zip file. By default it should be in Download folder, and swipe to start install
After installing click reboot and your SM-G361F will be rooted. You should have SuperSU app in the menu
