Here's a VERY important question for me, nybpvobrvis originally a T Mobile Galaxy S4, its unlocked Rooted, running the sickness right now, heres the question, since I unlocked I dumped T Mobile and am now with Cricket Wireless, can I still change ROMs? Without screwingvup my settings?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Your specific device stuff should in theory stay the same, certain things are native to the device itself and not the ROMs you use, your device is still a t mobile device so whatever you use should be for t mobile, ROMs are built to work with your hardware, your hardware is still the same hardware as when it was on t mobile. You should be able to flash any t mobile ROM and be fine, my device uses Verizon ROMs but my device is a straight talk device. Look for t mobile ROMs, there may be adjustments necessary after you flash so you can work with your new carrier, things like APNs and things like that. There are people that can help with those things if its needed.

Another Question N_psycho_PD_uh?

Hey there I think that I had already did the full remove root options on KingUser and still couldnt get the binaries to update, but I wasnt sure if I tried to remove kinguser or not before I did that, and that was maybe why the binaries werent updating/installing.?So if the binaries aint updating/ installing would it even be any use to install su or superSU and get rid of kinguser by flashing the su or superSU binaries by flashing the su or superSU zip through recovery? Something like that wouldnt put me in a bootloop or brick or something. I'm down to try things cause I do got custom recovery, but just dont want to brick anything.

Just wanna make sure I have everything in order. There was someone who mentioned they rooted the same way and removed kinguser and installed superSU (thread http://xdaforums.com/show...777756&page=14) I responded but they never replied. I might do this and if I have any questions I know where to ask.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I'm beginning to think there isn't anything for your device, developers don't work on root or custom stuff for EVERY device out there, for future reference if you want to be able to root a device then you need to research the device before you get it because it is the higher end and popularly used devices that things like this are made for unless a particular user finds a way to do it theirselves then shares their method. In general little knoen and rarely used devices (even high devices that are prepaid) don't get any development. You'll probably have to base your search on your devices stock firmware and specific hardware such as your chipset and find methods that have been used on devices that have your firmware (your specific build number, not your android version) and your specific chipset. It is possible that methods have been used on those similar devices may work for yours but I wouldn't try them without researching them thoroughly and not without a way to recover your device if you have problems, I would find and download the stock firmware for your device and whatever tool is used to flash it to your device if they exist, if you can't find those things then I wouldn't try anything on the device because if you mess it up then your device wouldn't be any good anymore.

In the same boat

Thats the same with my device. Its relatively new so theres not alot out there for it yet. Figured some heads might have picked it up on black friday or something cause it was like 79.99, and for that price the specs are rather decent. I'm surprised I was even able to root it and get twrp on there. I might leave it, but I kinda feel adventureous and might still do what you describe earlier. If you have any suggestions or threads for me to look at please let me know.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Well, until you can find a cool ROM you can try playing with the Xposed framework app, it has modules that you can download and enable in the app that does ALL KINDS of cool things to mod your stock setup as if it were a custom ROM, depending on your device and its compatibility with each module, some will work some will not, you'll have to experiment with them, Xposed is not the only thing out there, there are other apps out there that can be used to mod your stock setup, look/ask around and you might come up with something pretty cool without having to find a ROM, just make backups each time you get something setup and working good before you make another change, each time you make a mod and you like it make a nandroid backup in recovery and delete the previous backup ( to delete a backup just open a file manager and go to your extsd or internal sd if you don't gave an ext and look in your TWRP/backup folder and delete the previous backup, DONT delete the first backup that you made of pure stock, it will be the backup with the oldest date and time, in fact rename that backup to "stock" to be sure you don't confuse it and delete it by accident.) (make sure you have made a nandroid backup of your stock firmware before you do any of the modules, keep this backup no matter what) use a module to make a mod, make a backup if you like it then delete the previous backup(not your stock) keep doing this method of mod backup delete previous backup til you get a stock setup you like, when you are done setting up modules and mods you should have two backups, a "stock" and a "custom"( rename your final custom backup to "custom") if along the way a module or mod makes your device go crazy just boot to recovery and restore the previous backup or your stock backup, whichever you choose, then you can start over.

There are also init.d scripts that can be used on any rooted device as long as it has init.d support, look into whether yours supports it or can be made to support it, there are some nice tweaks that can be done with init.d scripts, you can probably use the performance control app, even though you wont be running a custom kernel you can still use performance control to manually set your CPU's parameters, there may even be some build.prop mods you can make, just do your research, also you can play around with different launchers and themes, plenty of things can be done without using custom ROMs, you may even be willing to look into "porting" a ROM for your device from another device or even port a custom ROM that already exists, you can find instructions for porting here at XDA if you search. But be prepared to brick your device, make plenty of backups along the way if you try porting a ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] freestilesteve:
Right on dude. Thanks for the reply. I might still give that su thing a whirl. I heard of xposed but never used it, but I had to install it when modding/rooting the ouya, and its been fine since I did that so I'll have to read up some more. If anything I think I would rather try to change this king user to su first before I start messing with xposed framework and downloading modules. Thanks again. If I run into a problem after I try this king user to superSU switch I know where to ask. :)

I have sprint note 2 on 4.1.2 flashed to boost mobile. I recently got a gear 2 watch and it seems that phone has to be updated to work correctly. I get notifications for update but phone will not. Is there a way for me to update and not loose carrier flash? Any advice?
[General Questions and Answers] freestilesteve:
NOt sure if it took

But after reboot it said optimizing android and I'm just waiting for that. Not sure what to do next? I imagine once its done I can log in and see if root is there?? The su must have flashed so it should be good I'm thinking? Any other advice let me know.

---------- Post added at 07:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 AM ----------

@N_psycho_PD_uh? After the flash and after it said optimizing apps I was able to log in and root checker says " This device does not have root access" and, when I went to superSU it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If just upgraded to Android 4.3 you need to manually re-root- consult the relevant forums for your device.

So do I reroot with king root? Would I try to make sure not to install kinguser and install superSU after rooting with kingroot? Can I even do it like that? Or should I try to flash the su.zip again now that kinguser is gone from my apps?? You said when you lose root flashing su.zip keeps it, but it seems like when I flashed it I lost it. Maybe its different for everybody. I think I'm almost there though. if I cant get with superSU I might just have to use that kinguser if I can reroot it with kingroot of course. Or I can wait till another root or something comes out that might use superSU for su rights? Just not sure what to do, but I wanna get root back now that kinguser is gone.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Don't do the update unless you can confirm its from the carrier you have now (I doubt it)

What do mean your phone has to be updated? Updated in what way? Do you need something higher than 4.1.2?

If so you can root it and flash whatever you want (newer JB than you have, kitkat and most likely there's lollipop for your device)

---------- Post added at 02:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 AM ----------

Just keep me posted.

---------- Post added at 02:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 AM ----------

Yes, I would reroot with king root to get just the binaries, the binaries will allow superSU to install and you'll have root and no kinguser, I was afraid getting rid of kinguser would do this. Just get the binaries and install superSU, doing the way you are about to do it you may have to install superSU from playstore to install instead of the zip through recovery, take either option that us available after you king root. Also run a full virus scan after you get done, those chinese softwares usually have prying eyes.
[General Questions and Answers] freestilesteve:
cool

Thanks dude. Yeah I'll do that. Actually kingroot and kinguser werent flagged with any viruses. I got t-mobile and they gave us free premium subscriptions to that lookout security so I've always used that. I think I can use it on up to like six devices. Its on my tablets and phone. Doesnt seem to really slow things down, and some people might not run av cause they might say it bogs the system down, but I always have and do cause I feel so much safe, and dont really notice any performance decrease. But in regards to that I should be fine as I think that lookout scans in realtime and I have all the premium features activated. Thanks again man.

Hi i have an Xperia L wich doesn't turn on but if i connect to pc it recognises as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008". I read it could be fixed with QPST.

@ N_psycho_PD_uh?

Kingroot will not let me re-root. It spinned for quite a while and then gave me a symbol which looks like a little android robot icon with a tear coming from his eyes. I noticed even though it didnt root successfully it installed kinguser along with superSU in my apps?? Before I did the reroot process with kingroot kinguser wasnt in my apps, but only superSU was. What do I do next? I dont know if I can even reroot now but I still think I can. I prob should have just left kinguser on. It says to update binaries but when I go to superSU to do that it just says "Installing Please wait..." and then after it fails it says "Installation Failed! Please reboot and try again." If I dont touch anything it just kicks me out. I rebooted and tried again Which dont work. When I did this last time the only way to get root back was to go into kinguser(which is now in apps) update the software (I'm imagining it was updating the binaries in there kinguser) , and reroot with kingroot and root was renabled. Since it reinstalled kinguser in my apps, and if I havent updated the kinguser binaries or anything, can I flash the su.zip and will that reroot me and update the binaries? I'm thinking not since I'm not rooted now? So in the end do I have to reroot with kingroot and just keep kinguser cause the binary conflict between it and superSU? It keeps telling me SU Binary needs to be updated in my notifications dropdown panel/menu and it looks like its the superSU symbol and not kinguser. If I click it it will do the same thing it did earlier and try to install/update the binaries and give the same fail message as before. if I choose the flash with cwm/twrp mode it just closes the dialogue box and doesnt do anything. Not sure whats going on. I think I'm somewhere almost there but not quite. Thinking that maybe flashing that su.zip can install/update those binaries since its showing the correct update symbol/name in notifications/alert whatever the dropdown panel is called. Dont know if I can go into kinguser to update the binaries because then it seems like I'd have a hard time getting rid of it and installing the binaries for superSU which is the whole point. Good thing that its showing the superSU in my updates in the notification dropdown l so I'm thinking its in my system somewhere.

What device you trying to root

MY NOTE 3 BETTA THAN YOURZ
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Have you tried the zip through recovery since you have used kingroot, if its asking you to update the superSU binaries then its there so boot to recovery manually and flash the zip and see what happens, once you have superSU installed then try removing kinguser or get root and kinguser back and leave it that way, I don't much of anything about kingroot but superSU is very reliable and stable on any system so it would be best.
[General Questions and Answers] freestilesteve:
@ bigbabo Device is RCA Pro 10.1 RCT6203W46

I dont know how old it is, but I know theres an older one which is the RCA Pro10 RCT6103W46 in which theres a thread here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2777756 which discuss how they rooted that version, but the same method worked for the 620 version which I have. They refer to the other as 610 for short. Anyway nothing was broke, and the only thing that was in chinese was kingroot. Kinguser itself was in english and seemed fine and gave most permissions fine, although I got that "although the binary is functional, its not recognized" or something to that extent in titanium backup, and it also told me that it would suggest installing superSU binary. I just figured I'd try and do that so I could have superSU instead of kinguser. In the thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2777756&page=11 the user on the bottom

says

so it might be able to be done. I didnt realize that he didnt mention which version he had. But it seems like people with the 620 version posted there too. I was just thinking there was some kind of standard nethod to get this done. Waiting for [MENTION=5691352]N_psycho_PD_uh?[/MENTION] to reply when he gets a chance. Seems like hes leading me the right way, but if you have any suggestions or advice let me know whats up. I last left off on doing a flash of su.zip to try and get the su.zip binaries installed. I lost root after that, but noticed that my kinguser superuser app was gone and superSU was there. I went to superSU to try and install/update the su binaries but it would say "Installing Please wait..." and then after it fails it says "Installation Failed! Please reboot and try again." After rebooting and trying again none of that worked. Just wondering how to actually get superSU installed without failing? I havent went into kinguser to update the binaries and its showing that they need to be updated in my dropdown notification panel/menu and the sign looks like its the superSU # and not kinguser, so I think I'm getting kind of close. Just wondering if I reflash the su.zip if it will actually work this time. Like I said earlier the only way for me to renable root was to go back into kinguser update/download the binaries in there and try to reroot with kingroot and getroot back. I imagine if I can install the binaries from su.zip or anyway that I can reroot. It says if you flash su.zip you'll be rooted, but after I did a full unroot from kinguser and flashed su.zip I was not rooted. I could try to flash su.zip again, but I dont know if it will work since I'm unrooted. I am kinda satisifed that its showing the superSU # in my notifications dropdown/alert/panel menu and not kinguser so I think it might have got somewhere in there. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Do what you did to get kinguser with root reenabled, once it shows you are rooted, flash the su zip then reboot to system, then remove kinguser (don't select unroot in kinguser), once you have su installed and remove kinguser then you shoukd be where you want to be.

I was able to root this with king root. Not kingo. Kingo wouldn't complete kept getting unstable connection error. Downloaded king root (it's China app) and it worked. Then I installed superSU and replaced king root

so not sure what now. Rerooting with kingroot gave the same android robot with a tear from his eye error/icon. Seems like the only way for me to get root is to let kinguser do its thing? Dont know if I want to mess with es file explorer and try to remove kinguser that way although I could. That might be a little above my level but I dont mind messing around. Only thing I could think of is to mess around with it I guess. Anymore suggestions are much welcomed.

Not sure what to do now. I could just go into kiinguser, try to let it install the binaries, reroot with kingroot and leave it with kinguser? I'd really like to get that switched to superSU though.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Wiping contacts is useless if theyve been backed up to google unless you have it set to not restore from google (which would be useless), everything you are looking wipe already has a way to wipe in recovery, formatting the user data partition in recovery wipes all personal data like contacts, music, pics, docs, txt, queued messages, pretty much everything you are trying to find a way to do.

I need to get to bed for real. Whatever I did though roached my recovery, as I can't into twrp anymore. Its not loading. I wonder if I have to refresh it. I'm still rooted though and have the tarp image and he app to flash it on the tab, but do I need to flash it? wondering why my recovery came off. I use quick boot, and it got root permission from king user, but when I choose recovery it would not work. I don't know if my recovery was actually erased, but not sure if that did it or not. I can't get rid of superSU now, its still telling me to update the superSU binaries, but now I can't even get into twrp to flash. I could try to flash the twrp again with that rasher tool. Not sure though it that will work. it might since I'm rooted. Let me know whats up? I don't wanna brick my device since my recoverys gone now.

p.s. it came up when I did it manually. For some reason quick boot wouldn't load it. It has before though. Strange. Thanks again. Gotta go to bed.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Ok, you've gotten seriously turned around. Start over from scratch, if you have your root back and you have kinguser fully installed with root access, reinstall recovery the same way you did the first time after rooting, once you have the recovery, leave kinguser there and try installing superSU from playstore, if it doesn't work then flash the zip through recovery and reboot to system, once your in system verify that superSU is there and working, then you can safely get rid of kinguser and you'll keep root access, you must keep kinguser and its root long enough to get superSU properly installed then remove kinguser.
