that will get you on stock 2.3.4 and flash the radio as well. I'm assuming you have clockwork recovery installed?

Do you have clockworkmod recovery??

i have clock works and how do i restore previous rom?

Sounds like you need to do some reading. Looks like you were not very prepared. Read the roms,kernel, and root guide that is stickied.

Or you could learn about what you are doing BEFORE you do it.

No reason to never try again, you have just learned a valuable lesson in reading before doing something your unsure about

Dont forget to wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik cache through cwm. And you're ready to flash with 2.3.4 stock rom.

[Q] just rooted

I rooter my G4 for the first time, I think all went well but I have a question. I tried to install the free version of TBU but I got a "root failed" message but other root apps work such as root explorer and setcpu. If I click on SU in my app drawer I get a message "super user must be updated" or something to that effect. I think this happened to me once before but its been so long. Not sure if I click the update option within SU or if I download the SU fixer in the play store.

Just let SU update uninstall tibu, then reinstall and see if that works. In order for tibu to work SU has to grant it permission.

So you sugest I uninstall TBU and reinstall it? I'll try that but what about the update message I get when I click on SU?

Update it then reinstall tibu

How do I update SU? This is what I'm shown when I open super user. Do I click the update button? I just do a Google search and I read that someone bricked from clicking update.

What recery do you have

How do I check? I grabbed my stock G4 and used the motochopper root method. I've read a lot of other random links were people had the same issue. I double checked other root apps I have and they don't work. I'm able to enter app but it's "read only" mode.

try this go setting>more scroll down to about phone then scroll down to build number then keep tapping it till it counts down 3-2-1 development open then hit the back button click development option thev check the usb debugging box.
---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------
I dont use motochopper I use root and recovery from casual where it roots and installs twrp 2501. Its my favorite because I can root and unroot as often as I like with it and Odin whenever I run into issues because I like experimenting on my phone.

Well, I already had USB debugging checked when I rooted. I unchecked it and tried updating and root apps...same result.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

ok let me first
1. what firmware are you
2. what recovery are you using
try one more thing go into recovery>advance>fix permissions and see if that allows you to update su again.

I havent installed a custom recovery. I literally rooted my phone 30 minutes ago and tried a few root apps to see if the root worked or not. Im yet to install a custom ROM or recovery.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

go to the play store and download an app called root checker run it to see if the root actually took or not

It says "device does not appear to have root access"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

you may not have root. moto may not have done it. What firmware is the phone is it MDL or MF3
go to settings>more>about phone> then scroll down to baseband tell me what it says.

Here it is
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Your on MF3 as far as I been reading you can not root with motochopper. There is a way to root but also on MF3 you can not install a custom rom as well they are still working on it.
Go to the development section and do a little more reading or you can brick the phone rendering it useless Sorry for the bad news.

Is Root possible?

I just got the sprint S4, it has the latest update 4.3 MK2 update, is a root available for this version?

I don't have anything without being there. I used this by DL the entire root zip chain fire has prepared. I extracted the "guts" and then used PC Odin to Odin in root/supersu...then after reboot I DL ROM manager and used it to one click in CWM.
You could also Google QBKing77 and tag root s4 behind it and his video is on there its perfect

Ok so finally got root but qbking77 method didn't work I had to use kingo... now I just need a rom I'm trying to get my wifi hotspot to be able to work any recommendations?

All are pretty sweet....the TW are all real nice and the AOSP side seems to be transitioning to 4.4 from 4.3 so they are "growing"
Depends on what you're preference is.
They kind of frown on "What ROM do you prefer?" threads

Thanks I will try it out when I get home. Trying to root a friends M I did my HTC M8 and used TWRP on it. Would you know of a good stock looking debloated ROM. Thanks

Would the same recovery I used for mine work for a Razr M or are they device specific?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using xda app-developers app

They are device specific. Is your friend's M unlocked?

Not yet just getting everything together program wise so I can do it all in one shot. Going to root it unlock the bootloader do a recovery and nandroid backup. Thanks for the help
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using xda app-developers app

Just a heads up, if he's on the latest build you won't be able to unlock his BL.

The build number says 9.8.1Q-94. If the bootloader can't be unlocked can the above still be done minus the bootloader part. Sorry if these are dumb still new to all this
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using xda app-developers app

You can't unlock on the last 2 updates, .94 being the latest. You won't be able to use a true custom recovery, but you can root with Safe Root. Then, you can use Safe Strap to make backups and load some ROMs.

Ok will have to look up the other program and do some more research. I really appreciate the information and guidance thanks again
