Had originally rooted. Installed Cyanogenmod.Everything worked fine until I updated a nightly. Phone went into boot/reboot loop. I was finally able 2 get into recovery & wipe cache, dalvic & format. got Cm back up & running but now its not rooted. Tried motochanger...NOT! then Odin 7.03. using CF-Auto-Root-jfltesprl-sphl720.tar.md. Wen I ran it shows passed but & rooted but wen I use root checker it shows not rooted. Anyone with a solution? Plz advise. Thank you
I'm pretty sure motochanger doesn't work with our phones seeing as how they are Samsung...cf-auto root is what you need..

Exactly this. If it shows pass in Odin but you still don't have the superuser app or are missing binaries you can usually install supersu from the play store.
If that doesn't work, you can try the superuser switcher app, also from the play store, and then try superuser.
Hope this helps.

The way I rooted was to install the oudhs recovery and flash the super user flew in the same post. Recovery asked to fix the auto stock recover reinstall fix. Allowed it and I was rooted.

Hi Guys,
I rooted my Samsung S4 (GT-9505) using motochopper, but since discovered some of my apps don't work with a rooted device.
I would like to unroot it back to factory settings.
What do I need to do? Is it a case of downloading an official ROM and using ODIN to flash the official bios back on?
I have reset the counter with TRIANGLE but my device status is still 'custom' and not official.
Is there a simple way of removing the root that motochopper adds or is an official ROM the only way?
Im in the UK and would like to flash to the latest Vodafone ROM and unrooted as new.
Many thanks
First of all, there's no app that would stop working because of a rooted device. Rooting just gains you administrator privileges, nothing more, nothing less. And yes, the best way to unroot and get the official status back is to download and flash an official rom through Odin.

Many thanks for your reply,
Unfortunatly your wrong there, Barclays PingIt (my bank account) knows when a phone has been rooted and displays an error page saying its breaching security and stops the app from working!! Crazy I know.
You can uninstall super su then reboot the phone.
You can get instructions from the Exynos Abuse thread by chainfire. It's at the bottom.

Hello there
I found that flixster wouldn't stream ultraviolet movies with root. I did find that using voodoo ota root keeper from play store helps that. Click on temp unroot, then when you've finished using that app that doesn't allow root, restore root. Unsure that this will work for you, but no harm in trying.

I have my 9505 i337m rooted stock recovery installed. Most apps work and acquire root but few like trikster dont. I installed superSu.
Root checker lite report rooted and root checker pro the contrary.
Any idea?
Thank you

Did you grant them root privileges when prompted? Check your SuperSU log to see if they've been denied.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
Desinstall supersu and now it it a mess. Tried yo reroot but nothing work anymore.
Superuser say not possible to update su becsuse there is a problemvor su not present. All apps that need root freeze.No rooot anymoree.
Can I fix without flashing a rom?
Is ther an app to clean and desinstall all?
Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk 4
Don't know why you did that-you created a much bigger problem by overreacting.
Are you trying to use superuser or supersu? From the tenor of your post, it sounds like you tried switching. What happens if you try to install supersu from the play store?

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)

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.

Running stock 4.3 MK9, bootloader MJ5.
Experienced at least 10 times, that root is suddenly lost on reboot.
Have to reroot with CWM.
Any ideas to why this is happening?

Already installed as system app.

try to root using dr.ketan multitool
Hmm, still not solved, and actually getting worse, now I loose root quite often on reboot, not every time however..
Supersu is kept, but reports binary missing.
Rerooting with cwm/philz, but this also only occasionally works, sometimes having to reroot 4 times to get it to work.
When succesfully rooted, supersu installed as system app, but does not help..
Cannot get drketans multitool working - hangs after pressing next (sometimes before that).
Edit: got multitool basic to work, advance version crashes, but the basic version works. Rooting with this did not work however, still missing binary on reboot.
Any suggestions to what could be the culpritt here?

Okay so, different rom, same bootloader.
Do you use any of the following: avast antivirus, wanam xposed module, afwall+ ?
Have you frozen or deleted knox?
Using philz recovery?
Mine did not really do this until after having installed mj5 bootloader, but with the old 4.1.2 bootloader I experienced a lot of sudden reboots and force closes.
Dont know if it could be the bootloader causing the root problem. Or knox still doing something at boot?
