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.

Here I did it before and I never got a message says root access has been lost.
1. Odin it back
2. Root by using causal method
3. When phone reboot itself into recovery TWRP
4. Don't back up just reboot into welcome screen
5. It should ask you to install superuser, just install it
6. Finally, reboot into recovery and make nandroid back up.
On step four, I back up by using nandroid before superuser install. When I change rom, message always telling me I have lost root access quite often this way.

thats usually what i do, i tried 4 times. It doesnt ask me to install su, its already installed.
i might just have to update and wait for new root method.
Download a superuser/supersu zip file and flash it through your twrp/cwm recovery and reboot.when I first rooted my I337 ATT S4
It would loose just as I would enter recovery and my recovery would ask if I wanted to fix it before rebooting. After flashing the supersu zip file
I have had zero issues with root.

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!

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.

I solved this, thanks!
Tried twrp, but always says I don't have busybox and says loading, but never does, then on install recov, it DL's, but then comes up with an error: Flashing recovery was unsuccessful.
Gives partition as: /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery
No such partition on LG Leon LTE (h345, flashed from MPCS to T-Mob h345d, only way to get a working root)
Anyone else having this issue?
SOLVED: had to set "OEM Unlock" to enabled in Developer Options..., DUH!!!
This is off-topic, but as you wrote you've flashed a kdz from other variant: is it safe to try flashing different kdz'd just to try? I have a lot of possibilities, but i have only flashed the one from my country and exact same model and v10a. But it's impossible to root. Thanks!

I had to downgrade to an h345d kdz variant in order to get a working root. That worked, but it was a MPCS phone (on Tmo network) flashed to a Tmo kdz. Worked. I'd think if you Sbrick it, you could still re-flash with stock from recov., so not that big a deal.
It's not the only way to get root, I rooted my 10e:

Yeah, that's how I got it on (the latest "blue" TWRP) to be able to load CM12.1

Are you using the correct twrp? We've got a basic yellow guy which won't flash cm12 and then we've got a blue guy which does.
Why did you use kingroot though? There are better methods for attaining root on your phone.

I didn't have a working pc and King root worked I tried many others and still it's the only one that works. I think I have the yellow one how do I get the blue?
Rooting LG Leon H34510e
I'm a newbie when it comes to rooting however I successfully rooted my H34510e using KingRoot. I verified root and BusyBox installation using Root Checker Basic. I installed TWRP but found that my device was not supported so, I uninstalled TWRO and installed CWM Rom Manager and that's where I'm at today. I'm looking for a custom rom but am not sure CWM is the right manager for my phone.

Take your phone, open your internet browser and go to http://www.kingroot.net/
Download the app, open it, follow the steps and you're root!
I have the same phone H340AR v10a ROM, from Uruguay.
Try that, it worked for me.
About TWRP I tried c50 version of TWRP Team, but it doesn't work.. You install the image and when reboot it shows the android robot opened up and nothing comes up.. I installed the TWRP using the "dd if=/dev/ bla bla bla" command..
Some help it wouldn't be bad.
Thanks!
Can't find OEM unlock
I already activated developer options, but..... CANT FIND IT!
I posted here this past Sunday and got a response. However, I haven't been able to find my recent post since then. Was it deleted by accident? What's up, I just don't know...
Here it is again:
So my gf has an s5 that she kept from Verizon as she switched over to T-Mobile. It has an egregious amount of bloatware on it, but everything works fine: from radio to data, from calling to you name it. Thing is, she can't download anymore apps onto it and the "apps to SD" method provided by the Verizon stock ROM only does so much justice (limitations indeed).
I took it upon myself to attempt rooting the device with no avail. An SM-900V towards a custom TMO ROM, but how?
I tried towelroot, KingMethod, Odin, etc... no luck.
Before I go even further and risk creating a paperweight in the process, could anyone give me more insight into the best and/or successful method into rooting. :good: cheers.
(and thank you to that unknown person for spitballing me an idea... I tried... but the device failed over Odin)
Install twrp for klte with Odin. Twrp will root the phone. The first time you boot into restore mode, and then Reboot system it will ask you if you would like to install Su. Just click yes, and you are rooted

Wait, really? There's not need to unlock anything else, or flash/load something else? I mean, I've read that you can't unlock the bootloader and shouldn't flash a bootloader or radio, but to go straight for twrp and then a new ROM afterward? Or twrp, then boot into system? or download then flash ROM via Odin?
So I have the latest Odin (or do I need an earlier one?). It detects the phone, but I'll try to go straight to TWRP tonight and see how it goes. :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:
Going to use the latest TWRP from here :highfive:
I'll let you know how it goes.
Thank you for replying, btw I'll click the button :victory:
Good luck!
