Ok so my SGH-I337 S4 is rooted using Motochopper and is still stock ROM, just rooted. I did it so I could make Google Wallet work on AT&T, which was successful. Now AT&T has an OTA update that I want. So I will have to unroot. I already have the stock ROM download that I can flash via Odin to unroot. But what will happen to the apps I have installed that require root, like Titanium Backup, ROM manager, etc. Will they automatically be removed or just stop working? Also, has anyone had any experience with the Universal Unroot app? That would sure be easier. But my main question remains: what does Unrooting do to apps that are installed that require root privileges?

When you user Odin you'll have to do a factory reset or you'll get into a boot loop. So by by apps. Your tibu backup file will still be there, but just in case copy it to your pc before hand. The apps that require root will not work until you re-root.
Hi highly recommend you don't get the ota. Even though it's root able it's very dangerous to do so.
What I will say, if you want the update is to go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43963746 and you will have the benefit of the OTA and not lose the root and custom recovery, and all the app will work! You will not upgrade the bootloader. Once you updated the bootloader is not coming back!

I don't understand why you get a boot loop. I once soft bricked a phone and used Odin to flash a md5.tar of a stock ROM. The phone rebooted and I saw my wallpaper and all my apps and data intact. I have seen threads on Unrooting that describe using Odin that way. They all said that doing a factory reset afterword is if you want to delete all your apps and data like if you sell your phone or just want it as it was out of the box

thats interesting. were you on stock when you soft bricked it?
many, many...many users commonly have to wipe data/factory reset after flashing stock via odin. sometimes they can get away with just a cache wipe. not often, though.
I had used (can't remember his name) Galaxy S3 Toolkit to root the phone. Interestingly, Root Checker said I was rooted, but Titanium Backup wouldn't install... It said I needed root access... Hmmm.... Later when I went to unroot using the same S3 Toolkit, I did something wrong. The phone would boot but stick at tiny little letters in the upper left of the screen that I *think* said recover. I messaged the developer of the Toolkit and he sent me a link to download the original AT&T stock ROM. He told me how to use Odin and check the PDA box. I did it and it fixed my phone.

thats why i asked if you were still on stock when you used odin. most users are not, which is ultimately what requires them to factory reset in recovery.
I wonder if universal unroot is trustworthy
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4
All that would happen to your rooted apps is they wouldn't have root privileges anymore, which means they ultimately won't work as expected. I would recommend uninstalling them before you update. You may also be able to do a full unroot via SuperSU or one of the other superuser apps.
NOTE: Your phone may not update even after unrooting. You may have to do a factory reset first. I don't know why, I'm not a developer. I'm just speaking out of my own experience from the past.
Hello developers.
I'm trying to reroot my phone after the latest 4.3 update via ODIN for my Indian handset.
I'm trying using CF-AutoRoot via ODIN and the it says PASS and the phone restarts normally as it should but the root is simply not happening.
there were 2 android 4.3 updates for my device and i installed the latest (you can see the post title for the exact version)
after everything completed properly i simply tried CF-AutoRoot via ODIN and nothing is happening.
Till 4.2.2, it got rooted properly without such or any other problems.
Kindly assist me out in getting my phone rooted.
Regards.

Yep, I can´t re-root it again it seems the CF-Auto-Root-ja3g-ja3gxx-gti9500.tar its not working for the i9500XXUEMJ8 versión, well time to wait to an updated CF-Auto Root :crying::crying::crying:
I9500XXUEMJ5 root working (almost working)... i cant run some app, without root all apps working great ;/
Weird. I rooted using CF Auto Root after flashing 4.3 MJ8, it always worked! I never did OTA update though, always used Odin and full wipe.

The rooting worked so far for me. Have you enabled KNOX? They enhanced the security features and as far as I heard KNOX-enabled devices can't get full root. Verify whether it is enabled or not. I'm not sure whether the user enables it or not but that may be the reason. I'm also not sure whether this KNOX security really affects I9500 models. I9505 models are definitely affected.

Probably I never full wiped.
The apps and all other data is retained (normally all is retained when we update rom via odin).
Factory reset (full wipe) was never required earlier to get root to work.
Knox is not on from my side though I get some notifications always that some app tried to access something and Knox blocked that. But I guess that is something else because we need to manually activate Knox after opening the Knox app.

thanks.
Backup and Factory reset and cache clear after updating to 4.3
Then you'll get stock Samsung 4.3
Follow the same method to root (auto root) or alternatively flash super su via cwm/twrp/stock recovery.

Thank you. Will this trip the knox thing?
After using CF-AUto root you need to update Super SU App on first boot.
Then Open SuperSU app and choose to install SU Binary without using a custom recovery.
Then reboot.
Then install Titanium backup pro and use it to free all Knox related files.
There are 7 of them and you need to remove all of them.
Remember you need to install a custom recovery to install busybox. (atleast in my case)
Install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489234 via ODIN.
Once you are on custom recovery.
Use busybox installer to install busybox.
reboot.
You are done.

No mate.
Wait for a future update to trip that.
In the mean time, I'm trying to trip that since it isn't very difficult just lazy to try everything since everytime 1 thing fails, I need to restore the whole data and if takes much of my bandwidth.
Hope you understand.
And the device status will also remain custom.
P.S. Touchwiz UI from Samsung will hang on a later date due to some app compatibility issue (I'm not sure which app but I can tell a large set of apps and it will hang due to any one from that list) so it is preferred to shift to some other launcher on pre hand.

thank you both avineshwar and ajhavery.
i really wanted to update but i guess i am going to wait for a while. lots of issues seem to be happening once rooted. also dont want to lose warranty with the knox thing.
it seems the custom roms such as arrow and crash also have sound issues, FC issues on some apps.
i guess ill wait and see. maybe once the nexus 5 is out i can sell the i9500 and get the nexus 5.

Waiting is good.
Don't sell your phone though (for obvious reasons).
You've got much to explore.
When it comes to selling, you'll get money whenever you do that so keep that option as your last bet.
Custom roms aren't really preferred from my side until you are a die hard modification fan!.
Rooting is the only problem (which is solved now I guess) on the latest firmware.
Rooting won't do any problem, believe me (except warranty).

hello again, i am asking this question because i cant post in the development forum yet.
i downloaded 3 files from the OP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317105
the PDA, CSC and modem. all for MJ8, downloaded PDA is odex.
when i flashed 3 of the files with ODIN like shown in op my device. After i restarted i got errors for Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps .
i searched on google and did what was suggested, like clearing dalvik cache, resetting default apps, uninstalling the play store update etc.
the phone was unusable, the errors popedup every second.
I had to go back to the MG9 4.2.2 firmware.
What did i do wrong?
have you guys tried the method mentioned in the post. it prerooted and knox free 4.3 firmware.

Probably you want to upgrade to 4.3?
If so goto sammobile.com and find the latest firmware for your device from there, download and flash the same via odin.
You're now on 4.3!
Once done you can root from the auto root method by chain fire.

that would be the easiest and best solution but i am worried about the knox issue, losing the warranty and also having to sell the phone later on for a lower price.
For those who have taken the MJ7 update and realized that you can't regain root. Kingo is working on a solution. Verizon likes to lock their loaders so it takes a little time to break them. I had to take my note to a Best Buy store about an hour from where I live to have them reset my phone from what is being labeled a Softbrick. If anyone knows a way to root the SM-900V with MJ7 please let me know.
Thanks,

I took the update a week ago and just rooted with kingo yesterday..all I did was follow instructions withing the app and was rooted minutes later . ... Installed safe strap with beans on slot 2..all is well except I can't get the custom logo to go away from the boot up screen but I don't really care

The Kingo does work for the Verizon Note 3. I literally just did it. At first, it kept saying not supported, but I tried it again with my screen timeout off and I saw that when my phone was connected to Kingo, something popped up warning me something was trying to exploit my phone, click on the box and hit install. Then not long after that your phone will reboot and grant permission stuff will come up. You can either do it this way, or under security uncheck verify apps located under unknown sources.
So on the kingo screen,when selecting the OS mine only goes up to 4.2.2. I am obviously running 4.3 on the note 3. Do I pull the trigger? Or am I missing an update?

YES guys, you can root your phone VIA Kingo even if you updated to the newer firmware. My scenario, got my N3 bone stock, rooted it on MJ9 via kingo and worked. Applied OTA update to version to MJ7 and lost root. Used kingo again and gained root. Works totally fine and SS works fine as well.

Other issue is that 7zip will not extract the de la Vega file, says it can't open as a archive
Why is this thread so long? Kingo works with MJ7. Nuff said. If the OP would of read the Verizon Note 3 threads for 10-15 minutes he/she would of found this out.

I rooted the SM-900V MI9 build via de la vega and was successful, then the MJ7 build came out and i was able to keep root after that. after that I proceded to delete bloatware and one of which was my magazine. Since doing so, when i hit the home button from the home screen TW fc's every time, also the native mail app fc's every time i get a new message and try and open it. I have tried to install both the lounge.apk and the magazinehome.apk into system/app and then changed the permissions to rw-r-r, then rebooted. Nothing worked. I have tried to delete them from system/app and then reboot and try to add them back in, change permissions again, but still to no avail. Today I thought that simply doing a factory reset will wipe my root and put everything back to the condition i bought it in, then i would re-root knowing once done not to un-install my magazine. Any help on how to get my device back to the condition that it was from day 1 or what I am doing wrong that my magazine shows no application installed after i have put into system/app, changed permissions to rw-r-r and rebooted?

People are using it. And it keeps Knox at 0x0. There is a thread in the General forum that you can read up on. I can't say if it's 100% safe though. But most people that are on MJ7 and want root use Kingo.

I haven't tried as I'm waiting on Beans to incorporate this new update in his Build 5 rom. Make sure you have all of the bloat ware that was pre installed or the OTA won't update. I tried updating with earlier OTA updates and forgot to unfreeze the bloat ware so it didn't work.
Take a sec and hit thanks if I helped or if you're in a good mood!
I tried. I used survival mode and un froze everything I had froze. It error ed. Gonna have to wait or see if anyone un roots, updates, and then re roots. I'd go the rom root but the stock is working fine for me. I just like root access and want the up to date software.

LOL, I don't know about "loving it" but it does work just fine for me.
I was running Beans etc. on mi9. The OTA failed repeatedly, so I finally gave up & flashed the odin tar of mj7 which made the phone like it was brand new right out of the box..
At that point, the OTA completed successfully. That left me without root or safestrap however, so I did the kingo root, reinstalled safestrap and installed the paid Pro version of SuperSU.
At that point, I flashed Beans v4 ROM in the stock ROM slot after doing a complete wipe in safestrap recovery.
Now, the system runs absolutely perfectly. I have not had a single problem of any kind. The system absolutely flies, no lag whatever and not a single FC or freeze up. I have a custom theme installed and quite a few system UI changes with Xposed/ Wanam etc.etc.etc.
Survival mode is hit and miss best way to do it is odin back to mj7 and ota then kingo all your safstrap backups will save and will have new modem so ur not loesing anything

I was on MJ7 rooted by kingo.
Here is what I did.
Backup apps
When to my stock rom
Uninstalled safestrap
Unrooted with kingo (must be on stock rom slot as I found out)
Then took the ota and it failed.
So I downloaded new odin
Downloaded MJ7 tar file.
Flashed that and did not loose any data on my phone.
Then I took the OTA
(Now successfully on MJE)
Wifi wasn't connecting
Rerooted with kingo.
Installed safestrap
Booted back into my rom slot for clean rom. Wifi now works.
Downloaded new clean rom 1.5
And clean flashes.
Restored apps.
Everything works flawless here.
Amazing battery.
No you do not need to take the OTA.
If your phone works fine the way it is then why change it.
It is only worth it if you plan on staying with the latest builds here on XDA.
I assume hyperdrive will follow up shortly to MJE.
Beans will have one out any day now.
And clean rom works amazing for me.
YOU HAVE TO GET TO MJE IF YOU WANT TO RUN A MJE BASED ROM AS DAILY QUALITY

I for one am loving it. I got this phone through my job and put my t-mobile sim in it and was happy on H+ with it, but this update has now allowed a true 4GLTE connection with my tmobile sim. using the same APN settings as before. Sweet.
I'm currently on mj7 rooted with safe strap. I think I'm going to try to find a cheap Windows laptop of some sort since Mac is all I have. I have frozen the system update in tibu for now. Should I get a Chrome book? Will probably only use it to tweak my android devices. Thanks

I booted to recovery switched to stock slot rebooted and tried to take the update, It failed, so I went back to recovery, did a factory reset and rebooted. No success in taking the update. Any suggestions as to what I should do next?
Well, here's what I did. I'm just rooted, stock recovery. Rooted back on MI9 with de la vega. No safestrap, etc
Unfroze all frozen apps with TBU
I went to Safe Mode on Super SU
Disabled Super SU
Took the update
Reenabled Super SU
Unchecked Safe Mode
Updated Binaries
Used a root checker to recheck root
Froze apps again

I was on MJ7 rooted by kingo.
Here is what I did.
Backup apps
When to my stock rom
Uninstalled safestrap
Unrooted with kingo (must be on stock rom slot as I found out)
Then took the ota and it failed.
So I downloaded new odin
Downloaded MJ7 tar file.
Flashed that and did not loose any data on my phone.
Then I took the OTA
(Now successfully on MJE)
Wifi wasn't connecting
Rerooted with kingo.
Installed safestrap
Booted back into my rom slot for clean rom. Wifi now works.
Downloaded new clean rom 1.5
And clean flashes.
Restored apps.
Everything works flawless here.
Amazing battery.
No you do not need to take the OTA.
If your phone works fine the way it is then why change it.
It is only worth it if you plan on staying with the latest builds here on XDA.
I assume hyperdrive will follow up shortly to MJE.
Beans will have one out any day now.
And clean rom works amazing for me.
YOU HAVE TO GET TO MJE IF YOU WANT TO RUN A MJE BASED ROM AS DAILY QUALITY

Opened Odin.
Click the AP button.
Browsed to folder containing .tar file and clicked Start.
Sit back and let it do it's thing.
When it's done, you've updated your phone to JE
