How to root 4.4.2?

Hi, I just bought the S4 LTE +
I was wondering how do I get it rooted and superuser installed? What is the best rom to have at the moment as well?

Yeah I did do that. No one actually explains what to download and how to use it. You would had thought that I didn't try. I did use odin and flashed cwm and expected it to work, guess what it didn't. Upon entering recovery a error popped out and I was welcomed by the samsung recovery page. Hence i'm here looking for a way to root and get superuser that actually works.

You see, there are very well explained and , yes, they worked!

Well I followed the guide posted here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529064
Got myself a clockwork from here : http://www.filefactory.com/file/5wsoycfxn7i5/CWM_6.0.4.6_Non-Touch_GT-I9506.tar
Flashed it via odin. Was hoping that it would finally work, but bam. Got an error again.
Any help at this point would be appreciated.
Cheers.

You didnt flashed the right version, its 6.0.4.8, and you didnt unchecked auto reboot. So, you didnt do it how the guide says.

Hello
I'm searching for knox 0x0 root method.
So far I've trayed towelroot and flashing older kernel and then rooting with towelroot, but 4.4.2 is not booting on stock 4.3 kernel so I'm in dead end.
Any other methods?

Once updated to 4.4.2, you cannot downgrade to 4.3! You can only use Auto root from DeHwak thread. Towelroot doesnt work on 4.4.2 on i9506! There is no root option for i9506 without tripping knox!

Well, on some phones, you can downgrade easly. For example you can do it on s4 mini. It has 4.3 Brazilian firmware with new knox 2.0 bootloader.

Use autoroot from DeHawk post, He modified Chainfire autorrot to work on I9506. He also made it available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597058 in the end of first Post.
This Autorrot will trigger knox flag (works on 4.4.2) but if you don't care about it, go ahead and you will be Rooted. Don't forget to give him a thanks

got it working thanks.

I am buying a new S4. Apparently it comes with 4.2x on it. So, should I root it from there or upgrade to 4.4.2 official? I was thinking if I did it from 4.2, I'd avoid the knox issue and then upgrade to a custom ROM later and still not have a knox problem.... or I am way off base?

Is there something new in root on 4.4.2 subject? I still want my knox status to be 0x0...

[Q] S5 Active Advice required please

Hi Folks
My partner has just got the S5 Active and she loves it..
But now she would like to update from 4.4.2.. Phone says she has latest rom so my questions are this
1)What is the latest official rom for the Active?
2)Whats the BEST root method?
3)What Custom roms are suitable?
3)Finally what is the best route to take to flash a CUSTOM rom?
looking forward to your responses
regards
Lohtse

1) Here you can find the latest TW stock rom:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Android Lollipop is available for the S5 Active. You can download the latest Firmware and flash it via Odin. You don't need root for that.
2) My preferred root method is flashing CF auto root via Odin. After that I install another recovery like TWRP
3) Nobody can answer that. Try and find it out (perform a full wipe incl cache before you install a custom rom)
4) This steps: root, recovery, full wipe, custom rom, and at least if you want and need that: custom kernel

Thank you for the help...
finally got it sorted after reading around 9-10 different guides... all of which had little bits missing
now she's a happy bunny with LP on her Active and I'm a tired old fart with droopy eyes!!!!!
Just need a custom recovery now!!

Congratulations! How you solved it?
Yeah recovery is the same problem. It exists no recovery for the G870A

Two things that I found that allowed me to sort the Active which was mentioned
firstly to allow Flashfire to work you had too set clock back past 1/15/15
and you had to also set flashfire to boot into download to allow you to flash the G870A_OC5_Bootloader.tar.md5 file via Odin on the pc.. once I did these it worked...
Just depends which guide you read to find a COMPLETE one....

Damn that sounds very tricky

Not really just no two guides the same.... soon as I noticed the minor differences it was easy.
1) root with towel root copy stock LP(rooted version)
2) Install and set date to 1/1/15 then open Flashfire
3)Flash Stock rooted LP using flashfire making sure you have flashfire set to boot to download when finished
4) open Odin PC and connect S5Active
5)Point Opins AP slot to location of the G870A_OC5_Bootloader.tar.md5 file
6) Flash and reboot and your done...
MAJOR issue was the flashfire issue once found issue and set it as stated above I was Up and running after 10minutes Just had spent 4 hours failing before I notice and figured out what the issues was...
Simple really.... Well it was in the end lol

There was a issue with the latest Recovery when pre rooting some reason the recovery didn't apply. Well ive sorted it using a manual fix requires a computer by manually installing the Recovery seemed to have fixed the problem
Step 1.
Download the Manual Recovery Below
Step2.
Make sure usb debugging is enabled.
Step3.
Run the Install.bat when it asks for a number press 1 then wait till it says now connect you're phone via USB and plug the phone in to computer its should say press any key then you're phone will restart and you should have Recovery p.s sorry for the problem's
Manual Recovery Install Download Recovery Mirror (ZippyShare)
Has always remember to:
1. Put the zip on your SDCard or internal memory
2. Boot into you're favourite recovery
3. Flash the zip
4. Wipe data/cache and dalvik
5. Reboot
6. Done

That's what it said on mine on my Nod 32 Antivirus i just had to disable it my anti virus and then run it trust me there's no issues with it. :good: it was giving a false issue that easyroottool\libexploit.so its dangerous think they all do that cause of exploiting the root.

I think XPosed should work on any bootloader,only depends on the versions that xposed supports but by now it should support almost any android versions,anyone can correct me if I'm wrong here.

Try uninstalling the current one and try flashing sdk22 after that.
Everything about xposed for lollipop is on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 ;post should help a bit.

Is there a reliable tutorial to Root Galaxy S8 (exynos)??

Hi everyone, i'm looking for a tutorial to get root acces in galaxy S8 950f , i checked tutorials in youtube but many people get a brick , i was a victim , i could get twrp but the device couldn't mount data, so i flash to stock and the device came back to life. In that try i used the most recent version of the files, so i need your help to recommend a upgraded tutorial with the correct steps to avoid a similar situation:victory::fingers-crossed:
Thank you for your attention

If you can't mount the data partion you probably just need to to wipe it. Anyway just follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72004368&postcount=3

Flash twrp then flash root zip. Done your rooted

My first 10 or so attempts to root S8 ended in bricking the phone. I'm flashoholic and the first thing I do on every phone is twrp, root, custom Rom etc..... but S8 seemed to have some problem with this.
So I updated firmware to newest from Samsung firmware website (modem and bootloader too this way) in Odin.
Tried twrp. Done.
Tried to root. Done.
Flashed first custom Rom. Done!

Ignore all those video guides and just follow the guide from the TWRP thread. Yes wiping data means all your apps will be deleted. You can't get around this, and if you try to the device won't boot.
