Ill start off saying i looked just couldn't find someone with the same problems... sooooo I did a full root on my phone properly when i check for root it says im rooted titanium backup works but just about any other app i try to use says it needs root access. i tried asking the creators of the apps and other people who have "ask for help" rooting help sights but got no responses so here i am. im running 4.3 mk2 if that helps any. just out of ideas on what to do

I posted the same request, but guess I9500 does not have root released yet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252728
yes, so sad, no ROOT actually works on i9500:crying:
I have just installed Root from here and I am on UAMDF (took me a while due to issues with the drivers on my laptop), switched and tried from my desktop PC and this worked ok.
I am still yet to 100% confirm it is all working etc, but at the moment I have installed titanium Backup root and this looks good.

I am going to attempt to restore my SGS2 apps and data so fingers crossed

I9505 then use chainfire method, else I9500 wait for it
chainfire has new auto root for i9500

You should stop being so hasty.
You are in the wrong forum. This is not for the Sprint version of the s4.
Are you sure you flashed the cf-root for YOUR device?
Im sorry im new to this forum, and yes I did flash sprint cf-root, but I think I might of did 4.2.2 instead of 4.4.2. And once again sorry im new to this whole thing.

I have a Sprint GS4 with MK2 (SPH-L720), waited a while to root and saw Towel discussed, tried and it worked 100%. My experience rooting is mostly with HTC products so this was my first rooting with the GS4 and it couldn't have been easier. Added SU, verified root, all seems good!
I have an update that was downloaded over the past month or so that I have denied installing and glad I did since it seemed very easy to root!
So what's next? I'm used to installing a recovery and ROMing away.. I have ROM Toolbox installed (pro) and noticed they have the option to flash a recovery for you and wonder if that will work? If so, what recovery is good for this phone? I'm very used to TWRP and hope that is still a good recovery choice. My main goals are to be able to take the updates and keep root. Im fine with the stock look and feel but want that option to add the bling and speed when I'm ready..
I'm not too worried about the Knox being tripped but confident it was disabled during Towel root.
I always search, just can't find specific information on my phone and there are many many differences it seems. I figured compiling some answers would benefit others that bought the GS4 a while ago and never rooted until now. Any help or direction is appreciated!
Thanks!
For anyone in the same situation, I was able to avoid using Oden by utilizing ROM Toolbox, it flashed the newest version of TWRP successfully.
To summarize:
Sprint GS4, MK2 and never took an update for almost a year since purchase. Full root with Towelroot, installed Super User, granted and installed Root Checker to validate. Downloaded ROM Toolkit and flashed TWRP newest version. No issues, no crashes, no tripping KNOX. All good.
Seems there are a lot of people asking for help and while 'search' is useful, there are so many variables, so many threads to sift through its almost impossible to find what you need. Hopefully this helped someone.
Still determining how to take updates and if I will lose root. Still running stock but I am about to try my first custom ROM on this cell.
to my knowledge u can root every varient easily but even if u flashed twrp without tripping knox have u actually loaded it yet to see if recovery flag trips? and once u flash a rom it would deff trip the counter.. but who cares about knox anyway.. i tripped every counter within the hour of getting this phone
I have and it didnt but like you said, I didn't care if I tripped kmox etc. Thanks for the reply! So you believe it is safe to take the updates? Im really just trying to have tether working. Thanks!
If you're wanting to update via OTA, you'll have to unroot first.
There is no native hot spot hack for the NG2 update as of yet and Towelroot doesn't work yet either
Even though this device is older, some of us still must be using this device. I wanted to pass on that Cydia Impactor can allow Root on the SCH-i815 w/LP11 update. Stock recovery and all...
Didn't work for me. I got bugs not found.

new - tab 7.7 i815 looking for roms and what to do..see below
Using the Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 or aka i815 to play around on, .. looking to learn how to root and install custom roms.. a learning tab for me. im new.
where im at... I used kingroot to root the tab, root check says im rooted with 4.0.4 (ice-cream sandwich) downloaded titanium back up.. yet not sure if that for backing up my system before playing with roms or just for adding/deleting and backing up certain apps.
all this was done using play store apps..
any advice would be great. where to go for step by step for this tab to get custom roms or maybe a better root if kingroot is not acceptable.
Thanks all.
Hey everyone. I hope u are doing fine. Recently i updated my tab 4 using KIES and it removed root from my tab. Now when i try to root it, i cant. I have tried all with and without pc apps and even tried it with command prompt. I think this is happening bcoz i updated my tab. It did not update to a new android. It stayed 4.4.2 but i think its a newer version of 4.4.2. Can anyone please help as I need root access and without it my tab is basically useless. Thank You in advance.
