My son updated his phone last night with the OTA 4.3 update. He asked me to root it this morning, and it fails every time. It seems that Lookout is stopping it. I disabled lookout, but it seems to be integrated in the new software. I tried every method on this forum. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.

cf auto root works on rogers, but you'll trip the knox flag. if you dont use active sync (exchange) then you may not care. can still root and run custom recoveries on rogers. Just typed up a bunch of crap on knox, so not getting in to it again, but if I were you, i'd wait for a confirmed knox safe method.

Only direct links to VRoot are not allowed on XDA, but the discussion of it is allowed.

Yeah, I'm not sure why everyone is so pissy on XDA.
Vroot can be discussed just no links as stated... There are other threads regarding all this as stated by Scott. Please read and abide by the rules... Thank you...

Hey!
I have a SGH-i337m and i'm wondering if i will still be able to root my phone after receiving and downloading the new update (one with the Apps To Sd Card) ? I'm used to Apple jailbraking where once the update is installed , you must wait for another jailbreak to be exploited. Is this true with Android as well?
Thanks in Advance :laugh:
from what I have read, you do loose root when you update but you can turn right around and root again after updating
Both of you need to do much more research.
1. If you have root on MDL now, you should be able to use VooDoo OTA RootKeeper to retain root after upgrading, if you meet all the criteria and follow all the directions in the thread with the solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360494
2. There is no way to be rooted after upgrading to MF3 other than the above method.

I rooted yesterday
Was really easy. Im just a little bit carefull when it comes to rooting a new phone. Soo i always check here before i root stuff.. Mostly phones.
Just dont know how i can install clockwork mod recovery. Its not supported with my phone yet...
And i have bought the app long ago. Ill have to wait. Its very easy and smooth to flash custom room with that app. You dont even need a computer for it.
Anyways. Thanks. I got root now.
..
*bump*
Will the first link in this old thread still work?
http://techglen.com/2013/10/06/root-samsung-galaxy-s4-one-click-versions-guide/
My phone was perfect before. Broke, repaired, and i need CM, and all.
Thinkning about flashing a recovery and go from there. Just reading a bit now.
But, if this still works, then it would be nice.
But now im running.

Dont wanna mess up something, and this bootloader thingy. Dont know if its locked or unlocked. I got this knox app on my samsung bloatware original firmware right now.
Thanks
Just as the title says. Is there a safe way to root and install recovery now with the new MJ9 update? I've looked around and all I can find is the method with Vroot which seems sketchy. Any new info?
If you did a Google search you wouldn't be asking this, there's 20 threads on root.

I believe that the "unmentionable" root method works just fine. You know what I'm talking about, it's not DLV and not vroot..... The "other" one, rhymes with TANGO or was it BINGO?
Hmm

Can anyone confirm a root method that works with the MJ9 update?
Edit: So you make a rather smart-aleck comment including a link that does nothing to answer my question, then delete the whole thing once you realize you're wrong, or at the very least that it didn't prove your point, yet you leave "delete". Thanks for the help.

Which MJ9 thread? You act like there's a sticky. I've been looking through them and find nothing about this. I don't think it's exactly stupid of me to ask for confirmation. I know for a fact I'm not the only person that wants to know. The only method I've seen mentioned includes a file with a known trojan.

Use the search function. Vroot is said to work, but is also claimed to be MALWARE and links are removed from this website.

Well if you are rooted using v-root you can get SuperSU by following this short video tutorial

Well, I got a pass!..but then root checker shut me down sooo I'm not quite sure what this is???
Nothing to see here. It's just a stock non-rooted odexed firmware tar. No different than what's on Kies.
