Hi folks! I have a Galaxy S4 GPE, rooted and unlocked, but stock otherwise. When I try to run the OTA update for 4.4.3, the phone reboots into TeamWin recovery and appears to start installing. The install errors out though. Can I not install the OTA update because I'm rooted? If so, would reverting the rooting allow me to install? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Install Stock recovery and then try again

Is there a thread on how to do that? I seem to remember when I installed this recovery tool to root the phone, it wiped everything. Is it going to do that again? Because I don't want to have to keep wiping my phone every time a new Android update comes out just to be rooted.

I went through that method, and it's essentially the same thing, except that I'm downloading the actual update file myself and not letting Android handle it. Needless to say it didn't work. I also updated my TWRP to 2.7.1.0 and tried; no luck. I also uninstalled SuperSU to see if removing root would help. It didn't.

It's the problem of no read for be vague. It worked perfectly on the GPE of my sister. The update that appears in the website is ready for install it through custom recovery. Read all the guide:
I know many of you must be tired of reading that noobs like me get stuck in such a simple process... But I've tried everything I can, so now it's my turn to ask for help.
I've updated via OTA to lollipop, but I'm tired of such lagginess, so I wanted to flash some other ROM. I've used the toolkit to unlock bootloader, which worked flawlessly, but I cannot get it to root. I don't get any error or anything, the device resets, it says the process was successful, but I don't get SuperSU and the apps to check root say I don't have the permission. I've tried some other methods, but I failed as well.
What the hell can I do to root, flash a recovery and flash this ROM? I've always done it with my other devices, but I can't manage to do it with my N7 even though it should be the easiest one as it has so much development!
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Sorry for my noobness
Take a look at this thread:
Lollipop Update
You don't need anything installed on the sdcard, but you need to be able to fastboot flash files from your pc. I used this process and successfully got Lollipop with SuperSU and root.

Thanks, I'll check it out!
I solved this, thanks!
EDIT: First of all, thanks for the responses. Second of all, I messed up. I ran a script that I found online called root.sh (I can't link anything until I get to 10 posts). I used that and it didn't work and unrooted me. I tried rebooting my phone(worst idea every) and now it's in a bootloop. I don't think I have root access and I've tried a factory reset. I didn't get any custom recovery and my phone is stuck in a bootloop. I have no idea how to get out of this. Any help is 100% appreciated.
I'm sorry if this is the wrong section but, I couldn't find a section for the M919V. So I recently rooted my Galaxy S4 SGH-M919V running lollipop 5.0.1 using the PC version of Kingoroot. I've been looking for a way to replace Kingo Superuser with SuperSu. I can only seem to find anything about replacing Kinguser/Kingroot (not Kingo Superuser). I would keep Kingo Superuser but, after a reboot it doesn't allow any apps to use root access even though it says it is. I have to keep uninstalling and reinstalling Kingo Superuser and waiting then it finally fixes by it's self (currently it's broken) . SuperSu-Me says I don't have Kingroot (once again, not Kingoroot). I've also tried a script but, once again, it didn't work. I know next to nothing about the inner workings of android phones so please keep any answers simple please.
Flash custom recovery.
Flash SuperSU.
Can't get any simpler.
The sgh-m919v is basically the same phone as the T-mobile S4. The sgh-m919v was issued by Canadian varriers that run an AWS network: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-M919V/
The t-mobile s4 forum is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile
Here's what I would do: flash a stock ROM via Odin to bring the phone back to a stock state and then root using cfautoroot if you want stock recovery or flash TWRP and flash supersu from TWRP.

Now, if you still want SuperSU, flash CF-Auto-Root.

idk how the problem occured I followed the root instructions perfectly . I had the latest twrp out so couldn't have been that. os was missing and nothing i tried could get it back installed, so following more instructions led me to downgrade the twrp and install b29 stock then i just did the whole root process over following the same instructions that sent the phone into a loop but this time everything worked correctly. i updated twrp and installed super su and now i have full root. axon7toolkit provided majority of the tools needed.
I'm trying to root my Sprint LTE Samsung Galaxy TAB A 10.1. The current firmware is MM which is on the February 1st, 2017 security patch. I'm really trying to adopt my 128GB SD card as internal storage. I tried the ADB methods, but it didn't work. Maybe it has something to do with the newer security patches? If so, where might I be able to download the earlier firmwares and downgrade? I'm really swamped here... If someone could help me out with this I'd be extremely grateful!
Thanks!

Maybe I could flash it with Odin? Is there a way to do that? I tried changing the file extension to ".img.tar" but when I hit start it's not doing anything, lol. When I tried changing the extension to ".tar.md5" it gives me an error. I really need to flash this without root or recovery, because I can't find neither for my device, which is the T587P.
Thanks for your help.

You can't flash it with odin, it has to be custom recovery.
The T580/T585 twrp recovery should work for your device.

Could you please find me one and give me a link? I've this deadline to meet regarding the tablet, in a couple of hours and I'm really stressed about it. It would mean so much. I'll quickly try and flash anything you can find for me.
Thank you so much!

Ah I tried that, but whenever I booted into recovery mode, it had the blue text at the top left, along with text that you would see on the bootloader mode, with the android 6.0 boot logo in the background. It just freezes there and doesn't do anything :^)

Seems like the kernel is incompatible with the firmware you are running.

i can confirm that it does not work for the sprint version(sm-t587p) , gets stuck on recovery booting- bootloop.
Has anyone had any luck figuring this out? I'm trying to use SD card for internal storage as well. Sprint SM-T587P

There is a version of twrp for the T587p posted in the development forum.
Hey buddy. Sorry for all the bad advice you have gotten here. Custom recoveries for other tab a variants do not work on the sm-t587p, and neither do the roots.
The current firmware is not Marshmallow as you said. Nougat 7.0 came out for the SM-T587P last September. (August 1, 2017 Security Patch)
