Hi all,
Sorry for newbie question but hoping if anyone can help
I have a rooted s4 (v 5.0.1) not on a custom rom as far as i know and noticed there have been some stock updates recently and was wondering on the best option to upgrade
Is it possible to just upgrade and keep my files & data without losing root? If not please can someone advise the best options? I need to keep data really and think titanium would be the best option if i have to flash back to stock?
Thanks in advance
You can always just reflash cf auto-root. It will take you excactly 2 seconds to flash it.

Hello all,
I have a AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 that just updated to 4.3. Can someone direct me to how I can gain root access? Also, I am assuming that noone has published a way to crack the bootloader as of yet? Thanks in advance for any help concerning this.

There are several methods of rooting 4.3 but outside of that you will NOT be able to install any custom ROM's, recoveries,etc.
However, these methods are unsupported by XDA as the authors are in China and haven't released vital information on the ingenuity of their program (in terms of privacy and security). Thus I am unable to post it here, however... a simple Google search will yield the program if you are willing to take the risk of a random Chinese company having who knows what data from your device. The only way to have avoided using these programs would have been to put SuperSU into survival mode prior to upgrading to MK2 (4.3).

Root help
I was looking to root AT&T MK2 4.3 S4 for 2 reasons. 1. to be able to tether 2. to be able to record calls. I read other threads but found that after root, I need to install Wanam xposed framework, and reviews show that both hacks don't successfully work on MK2.
Saferoot is probably is best root method for MK2 AT&T but Safestrap recovery does not appear to be as good as TWRP or CWM as ROM Slots are required and memory will not be used to fullest.
Please help, anyone has success with any root method to accomplish 1. tether 2. call recording successfully on MK2?
or Successful recovery install (TWRP or CWM ) so the custom ROMS like hyperdrive can be installed.
Thanks all...
Safestrap help...
Hi all.. Please help me with another question... (AT&T MK2 4.3 S4)
First I would like to thank all developers for great great work here and all members for sharing their experiences and suggestions...
Do I have to create ROM slot in order to flash Hyperdrive ROM and keep stock ROM as it is
OR I can backup and wipe stock ROM and flash hyperdrive over it, and keeping one active ROM?
Only reason I dont want to create ROM slot is that then I will not be using the whole memory, I want to use all16GB..
Also I am getting a security policy update pop up on phone, should I install it before rooting or just ignore it?
Please advise,
call recording
guys anyone knows if call recording works on MK2 4.3. It does not work on stock ROM using Wanam. The phone freezes. Not sure if it will work with any other ROM.
Hi there! I want to unroot my unit for the sake of the warranty. I just want to know if it is safe to use the updated stock rom (kitkat d80220a) than my current stock d80210b. Using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2625044, I just want to unroot but I want to use the latest and updated stock rom available. Im from Philippines and the update is being rolled out last day. The fimware is already available too, and i already have it.
Do i need to undergo hard reset first? What more do i need to know first?
I hope someone can help me. Highly appreciated!
Thank you!
I did a mistake, it is possible to move this thread on help section?
Hi all, today ASUS released the OTA but in some days the full rom will be also avaible.
I want to do a fresh install but i don't know how do this :crying:
I was a Samsung S2 Plus user and there was really easy flash something but on ZF2 with fastboot and recovery i don't know where go.
I am using full stock ROM unroot never touched. There is a SAFE way to flash a full firmware? I read that someone deleted some partition and IMEI was lost
Thanks for the help.

Hi all,
Thanks in advance.... I had my Note 3 since it was launched and I think it's high time I root it & try to use it with custom built rom as the original standard rom is getting out dated & sluggish.
I read a few threads about rooting this phone and the more I read, the more confuse I got as I am not sure which is the best way to do it now.
So, if there is any kind hearted soul out there, can you point me the right direction to which thread or way that is best for rooting my Note 3.
Lastly, which custom Rom that is currently best in terms of stability? I prefer rom that is as clean as possible without those bloatwares or unnecessary apps that usually comes standard on the original rom.
My unit should be international model as it is not tied to any Telco, I am in Malaysia.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Flash TWRP custom recovery .
Use Supersu zip to root if needed .
Best rom

If you intend to use a custom ROM, there is no need to root the phone before flashing the custom ROM if you install TWRP first.
Confirm the model # of your phone in download mode before flashing TWRP as Samsung made several models of the Note 3.
Thanks so much guys, great stuff, at least there is something I can look forward to do this Christmas break....
Thanks again... Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all!

Hi, so what you are saying is if I install the right copy of TWRP first, it will do the rooting as well & put in the supersu for me?
Thanks again.
What I mean is that there is no need to root the existing stock rom with supersu if you intend to go straight to a custom ROM after flashing twrp.
Flashing supersu with twrp is needed to get root on a stock rom if you intend to stay with a stock rom.
Hi guys,
so, I rooted my phone after installing Pie, but now among other things I wont be recieving any OTA updates, whats is the simplet way to just update the phone?
From what I read here on XDA I think thats best way is to install via Odin with home_csc but my question is when my phone is rooted will it still have root or it will even boot? Did somebody of you tried this?
I will be very gratefull for any suggestions to this topic.
