So i was in such a rush to update to 4.3 that I Odined back to stock MF9 and then flashed the 4.3 update zip. Im really happy i got my watch working but now i miss Titanium Backup and all the goodies....has there been any word on a root process for 4.3 (flag indictator or not)
Cf auto root works I hear. Sets the flag off though.

Yea, saw that in the other thread. That sucks. Glad I don't rely on TiB for a phone. Because I don't use many apps anyway.

CF Root
CF root works and everything went pretty straight forward. I had issues with root sticking but after i ran it again it was good. But, I learned the hard way KT kernel does not work with 4.3 TW at this time. I did the noob thing and forgot to back up before. But, I was able to go back to TriForce till a better flash is capable of the 4.3, due to my firmware is updated.
I did the cf autoroot..i dont see SU anyplace...i downloaded from the market. Nothing seems to be requesting SU But, apps that need root ARE working WITHOUT requesting Su ....strange

It's because of the install-recovery.sh file in system/etc. It restores the stock recovery, if you have a modified one, one each boot. Just delete that file and reinstall recovery.

are you sure you have root?
You can't unlock the boot loader in the xt907 consumer edition. Are you trying to open the XDA app or Safe strap app? You install safe strap and when you restart the phone, you'll see the safe strap menu. That is, if you have root.

It's probable that you can unroot. Do you have super su? You can do an unroot in settings within 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!

Basically you can now root the S5 and NOT trip knox.
Really it seems to be most phones that are 4.2.2 work.
This doesn't get you a boot loader etc. but gives root at least for those wanting to not risk warranty and get the bloat off.

If you do custom recovery you will trip knox making this method for you to root having been useless and you should have used one of the other options that does it all at once hah.

You can but you need to be aware that you can get stuck in a boot loop. But if you are willing to take the risk.
Download the Odex version that matches your system, this is critical. Extract the services.jar and services.odex files. Use a root explorer to copy them to /system/framework. Change permissions to rw-r-r. Reboot and it will either work or not.
