when the "daemon started" hangs, unlock your phone screen and tell the message "yes"..and after that, the next message hit "accept"...worked like a charm after that!! it asks to enable usb debugging even though its already checked in the dev option...at least it did on mine...good luck

Root and restore from Rooting

Sorry, posted at the newbie thread but no answer... Can someone help me here?

Just got my new S4 from ATT USA. It is a SGH-I337, 4.2.2, Kernel 3.4.0-453947

I want to unlock and root it to be able to use some apps that requires it. Not yet interested in a different ROM

ATT gave me the unlock code but now the questions:

a) Is there any better sequence to use? Unlock -> Root or Root -> Unlock

b) Is the root reversible if there is any issue during the procedure? Can you guys point me to one reverse rooting procedure that is working with ATT 337's?

Thanks, much appreciated....

How did u get the unlock code from att?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] speed2001:
Asking... Called late at night and the first answer from the agent was that I needed to be with it for at least 90 days...asked for the supervisor and he also didn't want to give it to me then I said to him to check my ATT history dating from the old Cingular in 1994...then Bellsouth...then Cingular again and then ATT... ask him to check my payment history always on time... and the amount I spend with ATT every month... around 450.00 (home, net and cells) and asked him if I'm someone that may be just unlocking the phone and run away with it... more yet, all my previous phones where unlocked with codes given by the company so.... he end up giving me the code. I wasn't that luck with my wife's Iphone but I will get there, I was not in a mood to have another fight but will try this weekend and let you know.

Cheers and good luck

Hey,

Did you mention that you rooted (using this method) with a bell I337M?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] malick67:
Mmm everything runs through fine and it doesn't give me root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jtorral:
Well, I tried twice and it still does notwork. I have to say that ATT pushed out an update last night which installed even after I declined.

Can anyone help out on this? What is driving me to root is that I once again lost the ability to tether wifi with the is stupid new update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jd1639:
If you got the mf3 update you're sol until someone can find away around it. It's looked down pretty tight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Little Bigboy:
You will have to wait for a new exploit. IF your phone updated you are more than likely on the Mf3 baseband which doesnt have root yet

Galaxy S4 i337 rooted. Thanks so much. i'm new to Andriod world made the move over from iOS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] quattroginger:
thought i had posted in here yesterday, but guess not........anyways............

this worked like a champ for me. this is my first Android device ever. been on iOS since 3g was released. i rooted, then installed airtunes - airsync so i can still use my apple tv2 and Denon Receiver. also enabled teathering :)

i did however notice it froze up at some point in command prompt and as someone else said i had to just unlock my phone and acknowledge the messages on it.

Can someone point me in the direction of instructions on how i would restore it back to factory settings? for example it seems when a update is available it can't be done unless you revert back or "un root" it. thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jd1639:
Why do you guys come on here, fiddle with your phone and then ask how to unroot. Get an I phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] BLKWIDOW:
I used this method the very first time I rooted my SGH-i337 it worked so well, then I re-rooted with casual to flash TWRP as well so I could utilize Liquid smooth 2.9. #dope ROM

Try CF Auto root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] drWIDOWMAKER:
Very informative post, thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] quattroginger:
Clearly you cant read. I stated that ive read that if you wish to update your device when updates are available you have to unroot, update, then reroot.

Im not sure what you mean by "you guys". Im new to android and gatheting information to learn snd understand the device.

If your not going to help or contribute to "us guys" please keep your comments to yourself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jd1639:
Your welcome. :) Why ruin your phone with the update? No way to put on a custom recovery and back up your phone, no way to flash roms. You really want the update? If you do go for it and stay one of those guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] quattroginger:
like i said, i am new to this. i believe the new update is a MF9 and is only available to Sprint customers currently. im not much into the roms as much as apps requiring root access and tethering. i dont know much about custom recovery but will research. im not going to restore it currently just gathering information in case i ever needed to. thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
You are definitely doing the right thing by researching and I hope you are enjoying your device. But if I can give you a little advice for the future, make sure you do your research before you do anything to your phone. If rooting is your goal, make sure you know how to unroot (if a method is available) before you root in the first place. That way you will have the information you need before you ever touch your phone. You will also know the limitations of what can or can not be done. The more you know ahead of time, the better off you will always be.

I tend to get impatient and want to do thing right away, but I learned to wait a while and gather as much information about something as I can before I do anything to my phone. I don't always like waiting, but I learned early on how much trouble I saved myself by doing so.

Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GandalfPR:
I searched the forum and it says that this method works on the Canadian version of the Samsung GS4. Is it safe to try it on the US version for the phone from AT&T??? (SGH-I337)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jd1639:
Depends on which firmware you're on. If you're on mf3 it is NOT safe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GandalfPR:
Yep... my baseband is I337UCUAMF3. Any options for my options for my phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jd1639:
You can root only. They is no custom recovery or ability to flash roms. There also is no Odin flashable firmware so if you mess something up you're in the deep weeds. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44578516
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GandalfPR:
Thanks and sorry for the repeated wording on my last reply. LOL

I'll read that thread (its huge!) and try that!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
No, CF Auto Root will not work on locked bootloaders. As reported, MF3 (AT&T S4) can be rooted with the MF3 root method in the "general" section. But even with AMDB or AMDL firmwares, you would still need to use MotoChopper (the method in the OP) to root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GandalfPR:
That method worked perfectly with my phone. Now its rooted. Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] paleh0rse:
Great tutorial! I'm all rooted and TWRP installed perfectly! THANK YOU! :)

Two quick questions:

1) After I use this method, do I need to do something regarding "Loki"? If so, what patch do I need if my plan is to stay on stock (i337 MDL) rooted?

2) Is there a list posted for bloatware apps that are safe to freeze on the AT&T S4?

Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mg2195:
With twrp you should flash loki doki after every rom flash just to make sure the kernel gets lokid. You can find it by googling "loki doki" should be on rootz
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] paleh0rse:
Do I still need it if I stick with rooted stock? This is my wife's new phone, so I won't be flashing any roms... yet.

Canadian version error

Hey folks I'm getting this failed error too, happens right after the Superuser.APK is installed same as #85 post image, I've tried to do a search on it but came up pretty empty. I'm on Rogers

Model number: SGH-1337m

Baseband: 13373MVLUAMG1

Build number: JDQ39.1337MVLUAMG1

Kernal: 3.4.0-897376

I've updated all software from what I can tell ... Just not sure why I'm getting this. I see a lot of people on ATT getting this but haven't seen much on the Canadian version issues.

thanks

I used motocopper to root my device and was stupid enough to agreed to a update from att. The killed my root access. This method worked fine. Just think UNIX not Windows and you will be fine.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fukenbiker:
loki doki

You sure don't have to loki doki, I didn't and I flashed a rom called GoldenEye and I'm on AT&T. The only reason to flash loki doki is if you intend to use a rom that needs it. If you're staying stock and rooted, it's definitely not needed.

The big news is how folks with a new S4 find this forum and discover in general how they can root their phone, and not recognizing the need to learn if they're MDB, MDL, or MF3 in the baseband. New S4 owners with some prior experience flashing come here and discover they can root the MF3 and then use goo manager or whatever to install a custom recovery like CWM OR TWRP. The next thing they do is make a new "help I can only get into download mode and my recovery is gone" post in the Q & A Help and Troubleshooting thread.

IF YOUR BASEBAND VERSION ENDS IN MF3 AND YOU TRY TO FLASH A CUSTOM RECOVERY, YOU WILL BE HARD BRICKED!!!

Kingo just runs all known methods, was actually vroot code that was doing the malicious stuff or so he said. Anyway i used it, and both knox codes are still 0x0. Finally let supersu disable knox, still 0x0. Full root, busybox and xposed on 4.3 rogers over here.

SO

After reading through this thread (which is way above my pay grade) IS it possible to root my phone or should I try and sell it and get a better one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] azuziel:
Yes, all (almost) android can be rooted.Forgive me, but not sure what you have. If itz 4.3 with knox, make sure after rooted do not install clockworkmod or twrp or youll trip knox and kill warranty. Of you dont care about warranty then use whatever custom recovery is reccomend for device. ut I've done is using Kingo app. Google it. Hit their website, use a video on youtube to follow along or look at my brief instructions a few pages back. Its "one touch root". You have to enble developer mode, then turn on usb debugging, and allow apps from unknown sources. Plug in phone to pc and watch your mobile screen while clicking root. Youll be prompted to allow usb debugging. Must allow the pc to debug handset. Then click root on Kingo interface and again watch phone screen. Ignore errors about something making system changes if you have knox. After a couple of restarts, or sooner, you'll see a prompt on phone from supersu, grant it root, and allow supersu to disable knox (again if u have it). If root fails, remove kies, reinstall samsung drivers, and tru again. If you have knox, dont allow kingo to to attempt a odin install, if you get that far and again have knox, juat unplug phone and try again. After root, supersu prompts to update binaries. Choose normal update. After that is done, reboot phone. Install busybox installer, and root checker. Open supersu again, and tap on install tp system, go convert supersu to a system app.

Use google for anything you arent sure of. See my steps a few pages back for root with Kingo app. And google rooting with kingo youtube for video walkthrough.
