Galaxy S4 not rooting

Hey guys I'm having trouble rooting my phone. I had the phone rooted and tried to install a different recovery and it blocked me out of recovery mode saying this software is not authorized by att. So then I installed the stock firmware via odin and the root went away now when I go to root again the phone won't root i keep getting this error on terminal
(error: device offline) - thats on mac
when i connect to windows it keeps connecting and disconnecting.
Anyone have any ideas?

Need information about your device, first of all. Maybe what recovery you tried flashing also.

In about phone there is:
Model number
Android version
Baseband version
Kernel version
Build number
SELinux status
Which one of these items do you consider the "firmware"?
Why bother with learning any of the details at all? Just guess at an answer!

When you first connect with ADB, the phone has a prompt on it to continue. So pay attention to what's on your phone screen when you try to root, it will be asking for confirmation.

You just want the baseband file.
---------- Post added at 02:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 AM ----------
1. Download the NK4 baseband file.
2. Open up odin and uncheck auto reboot.
3. Click on phone, select the baseband file, and press start.
4. When you finish the flash. Pull the battery and put it back in and power up.

PS.
I had to use odin v.3.04.
The v.3.07 I used for all my Chainfire and team win fun didn't let me.

My guess is that you can leave auto reboot checked and skip the battery pull.

Any improvements in this one? Is it worth flashing?

wait i'm confuse between this ,kies method, 138 MB tmobile OTA (i'm rooted so no go ) update and the 1.6GB firmware on sammobile . I'm running rooted ANJ7 baseband version so which path should i take to upgrade ? which of these do i get to keep my data and phone setting ?

If you flash the smaller file OP posted you will not lose your files. If you flash the full 1.6 GB version, it will essentially put your phone back to stock, wiping all your data in the process. Which is good if you want a clean start, but not so much if you only want to update your baseband and modem (and firmware). Personally, I flash the full 1.6 version for a clean start when an update is released, then restore my apps with Titanium backup. But it's up to you, honestly.

Flashed using Mobile Odin.

I was able to flash my baseband/modem from my extracted firmware, modem.bin using Odin v3.09,
and
ur bootloader also using Odin v3.09,
just wanted to let u know it worked just fine,
thanks for the bootloader file... saved me some time instead of doing the firmware... :good:

Very cool.
I may go ahead and flash the bootloader.
Hadn't yet cause on the tmobile s4 it was important to never update the bootloader.
Mine still doesn't have knox.
Running latest cm nightlies.
And using the nh7 modem.

And the op's trick is how you get the latest modem/baseband without letting them do things to your bootloader.

I always update my modem/baseband.
Samsung/tmobile are trying to make reception better with each release, and all.
I've also heard people say if it ain't broke don't fix it.
Knowing how to update your modem/baseband without updating your bootloader is a good skill either way.

HELP! Soft Bricked my Note 3 Verizon Rooted, (unlocked bootloader I think?)

I just got my OF1 stock Verizon note 3 today. The CID did start with 15, so I went ahead and rooted, rooting went fine and worked. I then tried jrkruse bootloader unlock method, I think it worked because the picture of an unlocked lock with the word custom appeared when booting. Also in Download mode it said status was custom.
So I went ahead and used flashify to flash the twrp 4.4 for my phone, the latest one, and now I cannot boot at all. It says take the phone to a verizon store for help. I think it was just a bad twrp flash but not sure.
Can someone help?
Thank you

Then you can update the firmware again by putting dload folder in sdcard. After it updates your phone will unroot. By the way never uae kingroot. Kingroot is a sh*t app that will create problems in your phone.

For kingroot you don't need to unlock the bootloader. However I do not recommend anyone to use kingroot.

I thought Huawei sell their phones off contract. By the way you can contact your operator so that they can install Vodafone EMUI. Even if you install firmware you still will be able to use your network. For apps download them from play store.

Maybe try fixing yourself if you don't want to pay to fix phone. You will also get rid of Vodafone bloat ware.

Yes, i confirm, I had 2 devices with totally blocked bootloader, rooted with kingroot.
No recovery, no fastboot, none!
The "nandroid" (not nandroid really but img files), are for recover the /system and /data without turn off the phone using RohesoftDriveExpert
This app mounts created images, and reflashes the created images WITHOUT turn off the phone.

Are you saying that i can create a backup of my phone and install-it and root as gone?

No, you will have be more carefull after rooting, for prevent mistakes, now you will have to reinstall yor rom again to unroot your device.
I answered for who still don't knows, upon, dudding that apks like kingroot, is rooting devices with locked bootloader.
Haha, they locks the bootloaders "thinking" root , and recoveries, depends of unlocked bootloaders

I bricked my S7 Edge, might need some help please

Hi guys,
So yesterday i was trying to install the One UI rom to my S7 Edge, but i messed up in the process. I think the problem started when i installed the latest version of TWRP (twrp-3.3.0-0 i think), and then i reinstalled a previous version of TWRP over this one (twrp-3.2.3-0).
Anyway, after doing this my phone went into full bootloop with the logo "SAMSUNG S7 EDGE ...." on the screen. No big deal i thought, i'll just flash a stock rom with odin, but everytime that i try, i keep getting the same error "sboot.bin -> FAIL!".
I already tried :
- Using differents versions of odin, especially the latest (3.13.1)
- Downloading differents roms (marshmallow, nougat, lollipop)
- Using a different usb port
- Restarting my pc multiple times
This is the SM-G935F btw.
Thanks

Just flash the latest firmware via odin. Tell me you model number and I'll send you the link to what firmware you have to flash. Also tell me what firmware are you currently flashing which is giving error

Yup that is why you are getting the sboot.bin error. It means the bootloader on your phone is newer than the one you are trying to flash. That's why it fails. On you phone screen you would have a error binary 4 device 5. Something like this.
