Go to the play store and download the free version of Titanium backup or Rom Manager.
Titanium backup and Rom Manager both require ROOT access and they will ask you to allow it.
Forget about the "root checker" app, it's not needed and perhaps it's even faulty.
If Titanium backup or Rom Manager asks for root access and you grant it, it means that you are
fully rooted and you don't have any issues with root.
If trying the above does not show you that you do indeed have root access then download
cf-autoroot and unzip it and flash the TAR file using Odin.
CF-AutoRoot will give you full access after flashing it, but even then use Titanium backup
or Rom Manager to make sure you have root, not that "root checker" app you have.
Here is the direct download link for cf-autoroot:
http://download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip?retrieve_file=1
This zip file contains cf-autoroot.tar and the Odin files in case you need it.
Unzip all the files into an empty folder on your desktop.
Good luck!

Does anyone have the Stock Rom from the germarn UMTS model?
I have been rooting my device with the none UMTS version (US) and now can't go back. Unfortunately it is not posted in Lenovos OTA section and the versions with letter M in the name for other countrys fail to boot. Maybe some files are missing there (blob)!
The version I had before I updated and rooted it was:
K1 A301 01 01 111026 M GE.zip
I hope someone can upload it for me or get me a link.
Thank you.
You don't need the original firmware. Just flash US-02 (with nvflash). Next, take "K1_A301_02_02_111004_GE.zip" and then "K1_A301_11_11_111213_M_GE.zip". After that, you can get the latest OTA via the settings menu. This should work for the original US-02 as well as the rooted US-02.
Thanks. Working fine. Rooting again with nflash was a little complicated. But now I have the issue, that the external sd card could not be mounted, so i cant do app2sd.

Can you explain what you did exactly? It worked for me this way: flash rooted US-02-image with nvflash->turn on backdoor to keep root during OTA updates->install "K1_A301_02_02_111004_GE.zip" (move zip file to /sdcard/Download/update.zip and rebooot into recovery)->install "K1_A301_11_11_111213_M_GE.zip" (move zip file to /sdcard/Download/update.zip and rebooot into recovery)->perform OTA update via settings menu->install superuser and busybox and check if it works->reboot->turn off backdoor->reboot.
If you don't have the backdoor tools yet or a rooted US-02 image, look at this thread and download the file "K1 - PermanentRoot.7z".
I did all that.
But my root is gone after I flash K1_A301_11_11_111213_M_GE
I still got no sound after OTA to K1_A301_12_12_120109_M_GE
How to re-root?
You have no sound because the backdoor is still enabled. You have to install Superuser and Busybox (you can try to install "BusyBox Installer" and "Superuser" in Google Play). If both are working, reboot and disable the backdoor.
Superuser App installs fine but under Settings/General it shows:
SU binary vnull
If I try to update it tells me it does not find any old superuser and quits.
When I Try to install busybox it tells me it cant find superuser.
Yes I got no sound but how do I use the backdoor to install superuser?
...
Check out this post. This Rom (download K1_CWM_120109_M_GE_Rooted.zip)
should work , includes Root an CWM based on K1_A301_12_12_120109_M_GE.zip.

Did anyone know, or could add init.d support because of ability to move app2sd?
My girlfriend has an S4 that I rooted and bootloader unlocked when she got it. This is her first Android phone - finally got her off the iPhone!! I want to block the OTA so I can still have my own fun with it. I know I could use an app, e.g., titanium backup or some other app, to freeze the OTA. But she just switched banks and doesn't have a card yet in order to purchase apps through the play store and I havent found an app that will do it for free.
Wondering if I can just rename the apks responsible for pushing the OTA with a root level access file manager without screwing anything up??
Saw somewhere to freezeI, I think: AT&Tupdate, FWupdate, and LocalFOTA.apk's.
Also saw on ScottsROMS site to rename: wssyncmldm.apk
Can I just rename all of these to '.......apk.bak' without any problem? What ones do I actually need to do something to??
Just run a custom ROM. I'm sure they all have the OTA update disabled.
How to Block OTA
Prerequisites
Must be rooted!
Must have a root level file manager. I prefer ES File Explorer
Instuctions
Start root explorer app
Mount /system as read/write
Navigate to /system/app/
Rename wssyncmldm.apk -> wssyncmldm.apk.bak
Reboot

Im on stock LG rom I just rooted my phone and did nothing else
I first tried this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869
could not see superuser in my phone so i tried this one with ioroot10
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887
I did nothing special after the first one i jumped directly to the second one without doing anything else
Ok so I already rooted my phone now my problem is that superuser cant update its binaries always says download manifest failed
and non of my app ever request root access they just automatically have access to root
I even tried changing settings in superuser to deny all root access made from apps but nothing happens it's like the apps are just ignoring the superuser
I also tries SuperSU but it always says "installation failed please reboot and try again" i did reboot and but nothing
now I have uninstalled both of them and everything works like they used to its like the app superuser and superSU did nothing
My apps still have root access
I really want to use SuperSU can anyone help me? i dont want to have clockwork recovery or what else that is
is there a solution to this?
try towel root. run it it should reboot after rooting.. this should update your su binaries in the system
after it reboots install and run SuperSU from the play store
anyother mirror link? main site download link does not work -
Scratch that only has problems with firefox trying to install now will update l8tr

I have rooted successfully Desire 626 (At&t) that's on Android Version 5.1, Steps on how to root below:
First Enabled "Unknown sources," Settings->Security->Tick the Check Box and Click yes.
Return to App Drawer, open File Manger and install "KingRoot-4. 1 .0.249.apk" when finish installing open the app
"Ignore any error message" and start root (Internet Connection required) once successfully rooted verify with "Root Checker" app
Now to replace "Kinguser" with "Supersu" install a "Terminal Emulator" app, Extract the file "KS.zip" and place the extracted folder on the root (main) of your Phone Storage, now open terminal emulator app and type the code below:
su
"allow root permission when asked"
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
" after typing the above code ignore any errors til the process is complete, Supersu will open if successful
When asked to update binary select "normal" and reboot if asked.
Done.
N.B. I have package the files needed to do the root here : https://goo.gl/A7BIsD
N.B. Your Bootloader must be Unlocked !
Link to packaged files needed to do the root is broken. Could you please re-post?

Sorry bout that....link has been Updated.
Thank you for the quick reply. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I downloaded the zip file, installed KingRoot and opened the app, but the root keeps failing. I've tried multiple times and KingRoot fails at around 60% every time. I updated KingRoot and that failed, too. Based on your screenshots, it seems like we have the exact same phone with AT&T. Would really love to root if you have any suggestions. ("Unknown sources" is enabled and Bootloader is unlocked ) Thank you!

use the kingroot app provided...if your bootloader is unlocked then it should work.
uninstall kingroot and restart your phone.. connect to WiFi or Data, reinstall kingroot open and try root again..if it fails try again at least 3 more times.
Worked perfect for me

This method will root your SHG-i257 Galaxy s4 mini without an issue.
DOWNLOADS
KingRoot
SuperSUme
INSTRUCTIONS
Copy both of the above files to the S4 mini's internal storage
Install BOTH apk's
Run KingRoot and tell it to install root
Reboot
Open SuperSUme and press the big blue button
Once SuperSU shows up, go to settings and select "Install As System App"
Reboot when asked
Done!
This should work, and you will have root.
*NOTE*
DO NOT use a different version of KingRoot OR SuperSUme. It will NOT work properly. Use the provided APK's and you should be fine.
Feel free to post here if you have issues, I will try to respond quickly.
