so i upgraded it OVA on 4.3, and i got this knox thing too
HOW DO I ROOT MY PHONE NOW
can anyone link a WORKING METHOD
I DO NOT CARE about warranty or raising some numbers in knox. I WANT TO ROOT DAT PHONE
KINGO
I used an application called Kingo srch kingo on google just a single click and it will root your device
Kingo, not so much.
I'm running 4.3 with the MJ5 bootloader and stock recovery. I have had success using saferoot to regain SuperSU and associated functionality back.
I had root with 4.1.2.
After 4.3, I sorta had partial root. Apps could be granted root, but I was unable to update SuperSU.
For me, I had to unroot the device and then use saferoot multiple times to eventually get a successful root with the latest SuperSU.
After all this, and even when I had partial root, ES File Explorer doesn't seem to be able to remount /system as RW on 4.3.
I haven't had any issue remounting /system as RW from a shell console on a PC via adb.
saferoot installed the latest SuperSU so I still don't know if I'll be able to update, but for now its current.
You can find info on saferoot here

Don't know. I updated and re-rooted with Kingo. Back to rooted, KNOX counter not tripped, What version Kingo did you use?

1.1.12 it goes to the end then says root failed no support
I updated using kies and then rooted using kingo. After that I see that kingo is now suspected of being malicious. So I installed safestrap and flashed the recommended custom su file. Now I have the update and still rooted and running fine.

Mine said failed too, but supersu still ended up in the app drawer.. there was a process ADB shell I granted.. I was able to boot to SS and then flash the one straight from chainfire and then once back on desktop went back into supersu and deleted the ADB shell permission

I used towel root to root my S4, and I somehow allowed an auto update, which downloaded the updated, tried to install but failed. But I lost my root.
I am running 4.4.2 - Kitkat right?
So I don't have root, and I cannot update my phone - Is it possible for me to root it again? If so is there a link to instructions?
Thanks in advance, the DoridForums people sent me here -

I dunno what you are running.
1. You can take a look in your Settings - About device (Pic attached).
2. Try again Towel Root if you still running android 4.4.2 for root again your device.
3. Tell us how it works.
* You can download OTA udpates but you can't install them when you are rooted. Root your device modify system. It changes of OFFICIAL to CUSTOM. OTA detects it and give you a error when you try to install the update.
Ok attached is my about phone info -
I just tried towel root again, and it says this phone is not currently supported. So again, thought I would see what my easy options might be.
I can't post an image or links, Android version says 4.4.2 - If that's what you need? If not let me know which number you need
Use CF-Autoroot to root instead of Towelroot. While CF-Autoroot requires the Odin software to use, it's far more consistent in its results since it temporarily replaces the existing recovery with a recovery that will install SuperSU into the /system partition. Unlike Towelroot, CF-Autoroot is version agnostic, meaning it will work regardless of the version of Android installed.
There is an entire thread on CF-Autoroot. Hit the search bar at the top of the page and I'm sure you'll find it.
What is this Whenever I uninstall kingroot I lose my root access.. I rooted my phone from CF Autoroot, means I should have SuperSu installed but whenever I tried to update binary it used to show disable knox and I did it, I completly uninstalled Knox and now whenever I try to update su binary it says installation failed. Reboot and try again.. I tried sever times but same issue Even I googled and followed dufferent method but su-binary didnt updated and I am forced to stay in kingroot :/
I lije king root
Have you tried flashing supersu.zip in recovery?
Yes, sir I tried from TWRP
It says: There is no SU binary installed, and super SU cannot install it. There is a problem. .

I think the problem is kingroot. It may prevent other superuser apps from installing properly.
If you want supersu, start from 0 (reflash stock) and root it with cf-auto-root first.
Isnt there any alternative way????
KingRoot is only useful if other methods of rooting are either unavailable or not working anymore. If you have a GT-I9505, you can do some trick to root your phone with Towelroot by downgrading kernel using the KitKat one and reflash using the stock Lollipop one right away after rooting.
My suggestion to reflash stock first (like @GDReaper said), and try Towelroot or CF Auto-Root method.

I think another way to root would be to flash TWRP and install supersu from TWRP.
I didn't like KingRoot, and found it very invasive. After it is installed, it continues to slam remote servers for no apparent reason.
KingoRoot seemed 1000 times better and their SuperUser app seems fine. However, the only way I could get SuperSU installed, was to freeze KingoUser/SuperUser and then install SuperSU, then install to system. Reboot and done. I just had to keep Kingo's SuperUser frozen to avoid any problems.
Hopefully this helps.

Brother.. I am in Kitkat only. And I used CF Autoroot to root my device
Did you try removing all traces of previous supersu installations before flashing via TWRP? Which version of supersu was flashed through recovery? The phone has the latest releast of TWRP?
@Athakuri700,
Your phone model?
Sent from my GT-I9500
Its s4 gt-I9505 kitkat 4.4.2 baseband XXUGNH6.. yes the TWRP is of latest one as I flashed from TWRP Manager app..
Not sure if it makes difference but try reflashing twrp using odin, then flash supersu.
my gf have sgh i337 att. i bring her phone and rooted via kingo root successfully but some app can't get root permission. so i decide to root again with some bat file in pc i forgot where i found this. it able to installed cf super su. Accidentally i forgot to unroot from kingo. Now i hav both super su none can give root parmission or working. I dont know which bootloader it is. As i hav no root access i can't figure it out. So what can i do now pls help
I have never used either root method but is there an option in the app to unroot?
Yeah there is a option to unroot in kingo but it dosnt work
Your best option would be to flash back to a stock ROM if possible.
What bootloader is on the phone?
Thats the problem i dont know which bootlooder
You could install the Samsung phone info app from the play store to find all sorts of information about the phone.
here is screenshot from Samsung device info could u tell me what is the bootloader. is that nb1
Yup, your phone has an NB1 bootloader. Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674223
thank u so much bro u help me a lot
So I successfully rooted my Galaxy Tab 4 SM T230NU using the kingo root apk. And it installed it's version of superuser. But when I rebooted my tablet I lost root. So I attempted to re root using kingo again but when I open kingo it says I have root already and the button to begin rooting my degice is no longer therw. All I can do is go to kingo Superuser which does me no good. Tried deleting the kingoroot app and reinstalling and still saying I'm already rooted. So it won't let me re-root using kingo since it thinks I am rooted and the button to root no longer is available. What should I do. I need root back in order to get rid if the kingo Superuser. And I would just like to have root in general since that was my main goal in the first place
Why would you want to use Kingoroot, when you have a perfectly working TWRP available for this device?
Cause I assumed I needed kingo root working in order to remove kingo superuser
