I have been scrolling through forums, looking for anything that would help me to root my S4, but I haven't had any luck. I was told that the people here are awesome & very helpful & to ask any questions that I may have & I have a couple. First off, do you need a SD card before rooting? I feel quite sure that you do. (As you can tell, I've never rooted a phone before, but after hearing all the things that you can do with it after it is rooted, I feel the need for speed.) My second question is, how do you root the S4? As stated before, I am new to all this so any HELPFUL advice is welcome. Thanks.

This statement says you clearly don't need to be messing with rooting at this point.
You need to do a LOT of reading first. Scan these forums, read everything you can find, ask tons of question (in the right forum) and when you feel like you know all there is to know then read some more.
Too often people attempt rooting/modding their phones and end up bricking because they didn't even know the most basic of things about their phones (i.e. firmware version and how to find it).
Got it rooted. Now to find a good ROM

I'll be getting a Note 3 today (hopefully) and I want to root and stuff, but I've got a few questions and I would really appreciate if someone more knowledgeable could answer them.
1) What is this KNOX trigger that everyone keeps talking about? How do I trigger it and what happens if I "trigger" it?
2) I'll be getting the Note 3 from Wind Mobile, which I assume will most likely be same as T-Mobile Note 3 (Could someone actually even confirm that for me?). But in the forum list, there are Note 3 forums for Sprint, At&T and T-Mobile and another forum for generic Note 3. Does that mean that the recovery/roms are not interchangeable?
3) As a followup to the last question, does this rooting method work regardless of the phone?
Thanks for the help.

if you root you trip knox so your warranty is void ,there are ways to root without tripping knox but you cant have any custom roms or cwm,twrp ,
but if you dont care about warranty you can do what you like :silly:

1) Knox is a new security feature by Samsung. The idea is simple, you mess up with system files by rooting, Samsung will know. What will happen? Nothing but make you feel annoyed.
2) Yes, is not interchangeable.
3) Read the OP of the thread carefully to know which model is supported

Safest way is root then use wanam exposed for theme. Personally I would just root and leave recovery stock to keep knox counter 0x0.

But don't you need to flash custom recovery first to flash custom rom? By flashing custom recovery it will tsip Knox to 0x1

You don't flash via recovery iirc, It involves copying and replacing file system libs etc, It's a pretty clever workaround. KNOX stays 0x0.
He has gone into major detail regarding it also, I will try and dig up the thread.

I have rooted my phone while not tripping KNOX, I am still on M17 4.3 that came with my phone. I am trying to upgrade to KitKat, as I have heard from numerous people in my area that the signal has improved dramatically for LTE and 4G.
1. How do I go about upgrading to KitKat without tripping KNOX or losing root? Is that possible at this juncture?
2. Can I upgrade to a custom Kitkat ROM while also recieving my signal upgrade? Or do I have to upgrade to an official firmware/ROM first before I recieve the better signal?
Thank you very much for the knowledge!!
Upgrading to stock 4.4 won't trip your knox but custom 4.4 will most probably do.
So should I take the Ota update or what? Will I lose root?

If you already have the ota for your carrier/device then go for it. You might loose root as this is official but you can root again after if that is the case.
Will OTA trip Knox?
device modified cannot update ota is the error I am getting. What do I do from here to update my device?

Ok, so Mobile Odin does not allow me to flash or update to 4.4...If I so choose can I loose root and update to Kitkat OTA?
And if I don't want to lose root, how can I update 4.3 to the latest version and what version would work for my N900T Tmobile? My signal is horrible stock. I keep hearing I can flash to the latest UK version but that doesn't seem right?

There is a guide at the link below specifically for tmobile on how to upgrade to 4.4. Maybe you can post your question there as most likely someone in the same situation as you have posted there. As far as tripping knox, as long as you flash official 4.4 firmware it will not trip. Rooting and custom recovery on 4.4 I don't know since I don't have the tmo one.

I did not only read it but i was the guy that actually suggested/asked Chainfire to add the extra feature in Mobile Odin Pro that makes it possible, and I also saw that pretty much everybody that was in that original thread and was able to read it also managed to do things right. Apparently you have not, and now you are whining around here about it without actually providing any information on what happened - were you unable to follow the procedure? Too bad for you Was it something in the procedure that could not work on YOUR SPECIFIC MODEL? That could be the only thing helpful and interesting to the other members, but I do not see any post from you with details, I only see whining with no details

If you google you wil come to cf auto root. But in the explanation it says its only for 4.3 or 4.4 bootloader. If you are on 5.0 bootloader its confusing.
So the question is still legit....you dont wanna brick your phone...or do something else wrong.

So please...think again before posting rubbish. Contribute in the way of helping. If you know how to do it....share.

Would Anyone Like To Post Detailed Instructions On How To Flash The "U FIRMWARE"? .. Also (if possible) could someone include all the necessary files & give any details on the firmware (i.e. Pros or Cons).. I've seen it mentioned in a few other threads, with some people making claims that it's much smoother, also the root is more stable on that firmware. But I can't seem to find a dedicated thread on it. So if there's one out there post the link or feel free to comment instructions, any useful instructions will be added to the OP

Keep in mind there's also a lot in here that doesn't pertain especially if you don't need root so be careful people, this as Mag says is for Verizon but the process is the same just make sure you have the T-Mobile files if on T-Mobile. You can download at SamMobile I have a SM-G935T which is now a G35U with the new modem APK1 and have wifi calling and VOLTE in my mobile network settings and ZERO bloat which is why U firmware is desired. It doesn't have any carrier bloat because it's not for any carrier so none have installed all their bloat so it's very fast. You will lose root and everything but can redo it and reroot also.. just make sure you're getting the right files and not flashing VZW on to T-Mobile etc etc. I ALMOST did then realized lol. I Got excited. I was never going to root so none if that mattered but I tried it and after all the suggested tweaks and fixed it still ran unacceptable for me so I'm not rooted at all now. Too buggy and too many weird FCs and errors/bugs so I factory rest and flashed U and new modem and my phone has never been faster even when rooted and CPU setting tweaked etc. (Too many bugs as stated)

No because you're flashing an official firmware not a rom. No root and won't trip Knox as other have reported. This is true for all variants since it's an official firmware.

Prob not. Many people including me have done ALL of the post root modifying to make it run better when rooted with very little success. I tried every single post root method to try and get it stable and nothing made a difference and if it did it sure wasn't stable anyways. So bad that I Reodined the entire thing and started fresh and didn't root. The root is very unstable and simply not worth it. I don't need root for anything I care about anyway and my S7 Edge is plenty fast. and running the U firmware there's no bloat except like 2-3 apps which I can live with and that was one major reason to root anyway (to delete the bloat) so meh to root for me.... If you read back many have reported this. I don't need nor want root and when I saw how bad it ran I immediately re did it all. Now it's lightning fast, I get amazing LTE speeds because if the APK1 MODEM and I'm in one if the 319 cities supporting the 4x4 MIMO LTE that the APJ1 Takes advantage of. My LTE is faster than most people's wifi. So I recommend d regarding the Odin and forgetting about root. It's just too buggy and I'm by no way a noob. Been here fir 10 years so I know what I'm doing and I couldn't get it stable enough even applying every single post root suggestion. It ran like crap and wasn't even usable unfortunately. No offense to the root team whatsoever they achieved root and kudos to them it's just not established enough to be a daily driver sorry to say.
My latest LTE speed abiut 20 mins ago. Not wifi....LTE..LOL it's amazing if yoyre in T-Mobile and you're in one if the cities supporting it. I imagine everywhere in the US will sooner or later it most cities. It's relatively new but I'm getting speeds unheard of. Before this I was getting like 10 mbps download and 8 Mbps upload
Not it's more like 6p-70 and 40-70 depending in where in my city I am. It varies deoending on how close to towers and what not you are if course. But damn it's fast.. wow

is there a way to install this U firmware and then simply root it and not install all the other junk? I love it running U stock with the new modem because it HAULS ass, but I want to root so I can edit the build.prop and since you have to be rooted that's hay I ask. But the root causes all kinds of issues and post -root stuff needs to happen to get it even stable which none worked for me, a few did but it ran horrible so I immediately returned to stock and redid the U firmware. so is the something like a way to just root for file access only without it modifying anything else? I doubt it but don't know much abut the U firmware except it runs amazing until rooted at least from everything I'm reading. a couple peeps claim there's is running amazing even rooted but I have doubts...mine ran like total crap even after applying all the tweaks and kernel settings with Trickster and the like (which I know how to use very well and bought it and have owned and used it for years....any ideas? I want to edit the lcd from 640 to about 580 is all and don't want to root if it's going to bork everything up again...
TIA

Hi -
I am a person that just has to have his phone rooted. Dont ask me why, but I do. And I love custom ROMS. Since I do not really see any custom ROMS for the S7 yet,
I will settle for just rooting my S7, I was hopping someone would be kind enough to point me to the correct files needed to ROOT my phone and maybe a small odin walkthrough.
Phone info:
Galaxy S7 SM-G935T 6.0.1
Baseband G935TUVU4APK1
Build Number MNB29M.G35TUVU4APK1
Also ... what about TWRP support ? I want to be able to nandroid backup. Is there a version of TWRP out yet for the S7 ?
Thanks all !!

Follow the instructions in the O.P. of the post-root issues *exactly*. Don't skip anything and don't add anything. Trickster is not listed in it. I followed it exactly and my rooted U just plain smokes!

The answer to both of these is that since the bootloader is locked, you can't install custom recoveries which makes custom Roms a lot harder (but not impossible!) There's two that are in the Roms subforum (TEK and Echoe) but I've personally found stock U firmware + root to be the fastest/most stable.

Is your reason for "have to have root" for a specific reason or no? This root us really laggy and buggy as hell so if I were you I wouldn't do it. There's no Roms really. Well two I think but it's going to be more if a headache than the benefit of root. No one "has" to have root. What do you need that's so important by rooting. That's silly....

Please provide more info what phone are you flashing. Where did you get the files, are you flashing the home CSC or other one what's exactly happening. Fail is too vague to help you fix.

I'm not sure bud. I LOVE the U firmware and the APK1 modem for Tmobile have made my LTE VERY fast and the U firmware as well with ZERO bloat. I wouldn't downgrade anyway but can't answer your question, I simply don't know. Are you on ATT or something? I haven't heard of that firmware even...but I've been on Tmobile for about 6 years or so...
