Root No Worky Sprint S4 4.4.2 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

For the love of good what am I doing wrong? Odin says pass but root checker says not rooted. I'm using CF-autoroot and I believe the latest version.

Have you rebooted? I had that problem before. SU said no root. Rebooted and then it said I had root.

Yup. Once again I'm sph-l720 4.4.2. I'm really just wanting to root to delete bloat ware.

There should be no problem. Have you tried to install Super SU from the play store. This sometimes fixes the problem . after installing reboot and check again.

FYI T-Mobile Update Will Not Unroot Device

I just wanted to let everyone know that the T-mobile OTA update JI6 will not unroot the Samsung Vibrant. I was running the Stock Rom rooted and I uninstalled OCLF just prior to update.
Good to know, thanks.

Good to know. Thanks for this update. Good looking out.
If I update will I still be able to root after?

Not true in my case. I updated via Odin and it removed root. One Click root worked just fine though.
I can confirm this as well. Still rooted after update no octopus installed eithe via OTA!

Any method to tether 4.4.2?

I've tried the method where you replace the TetherProvision files and it doesn't seem to work anymore. Is there any way to tether 4.4.2 right now?

I just tried this, safestrap would not install for some reason. It said successful but I couldn't boot to recovery as the reboot button was grayed out

Download selinux mode changer from the Play Store and use it to set to permissive then install safestrap.
In that thread i Write the way i use it and works great. First install xposed framework and after install the module kit kat sms+tether enabler. With that you can use that function, dont forget to enable it

You can try Towelroot but if that doesn't work there is a CF-Auto-Root solution for that model
Here is a thread I made that has links and info for all known root methods

Which root method did you use?
In any case none of these root methods are my work, I'd recommend checking in the threads linked for your particular root method.

I recall there was an issue with using the SU that came from the play store and that you should try to get the SuperSU binary directly from Chainfire's site.

root problem

ive tried rooting my galaxy note 4 sm-n910f version by the guide here and it worked ive had superSU installed and used root required apps.
then for some reason after a week or so ive noticed that my phone isnt rooted anymore how can that be? ive check via "Root checker basic" app from the playstore and it says the device is not rooted.
and the superSU app is gone aswell.
ive tried to root it again 3 more times and it seems not to work...
what can be the problem?
Did you take an ota by any chance? That's all I can think of, if you did you might have to Odin stock again before you reroot
ota

Ota over the air update. If you are rooted and accept/download an update to your phone it can cause this type of issue

You won't be able to receive OTA because of custom recovery, but I don't think there are going to be any major updates for this phone past OH1 (which was just stagefright patch(s)) unfortunately.

Correct.
Make sure you put SuperSU on SD card.
Boot phone to download mode.
In Odin uncheck reboot, after the flash is successful unplug phone and pull battery, then put battery back in and boot directly into recovery before boot the phone normally otherwise the recovery may not stick.
