So everytime I send a text message it says message failed. I'm not sure if it's because of root but it's the only thing I think it could be. Anyone else have this problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RoscoeDpG:
i have been waiting to see if anyone else had this prob...I have had it from time to time since i got the phone i am sure Root has NOTHING to do with it. But sometimes ill be texting back and forth and all of a sudden they will just hang on sending for a good minute then go threw but i have to make sure screen is on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Darkpsych0:
The screen is on.. as soon as i press send then immediate i get the error saying failed and the fail notificaiton goes off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RoscoeDpG:
oh i have not had it fail quick usually when it happens ill hit send and it will have the spinning wheel going and i have to just let it sit there and will go thru within the min but sometimes happens few times an hr gets annoying
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Darkpsych0:
Restarting seems to have fixed it. but i'm curious as to why it was failing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RoscoeDpG:
ya might just be one of those weird things that happens from time to time, i been googling my issue and doesnt really seem to pop up anywhere
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bhp090808:
More than likely a network issue. Also try turning airplane mode on then off

I forgot to say thanks for this, went smoothly as it could've for me and I haven't run into any problems in the past couple of days. Gonna flash a new ROM/kernel via CWM sometime tonight methinks... Hoping all goes just as well as rooting did. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GiantsFan91:
how do i update for binary? i updated from play and still get this error. please look at screenshot.

****FIXED IT******
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Diversion:
What changed? I have two S4s and the first one I got a unlocked padlock when the phone boots up after I did the root/recovery/etc. using this tool about a week ago.. and now on my new S4 I used this tool and it still has the stock (no padlock) Galaxy S4 logo on boot up.. Never seen an unlocked padlock on the new S4..

Is that normal? Everything seems good, it's rooted and i'm running a custom rom on the new S4 just the boot logo has remained the same.

Edit: NOW it's showing the unlock padlock.. I give up.. So strange.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bhp090808:

It might have taken a reboot or two for that to happen. and/or updating the app and applying the change by opening the app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] saul1991:
i need somehelp i got to the last part and accidently clicked on the wrong option the part where you get 2 options one is update normal and hte other one is cwn/twp or something like that. i clicked the wrong one when i had to update supersu and the binaries did not update....

ok i fixed it but now i get stuck after it flashes the second mdk kernerl it says hit enter after phone reboots it reboots and i hit enter and nothing haappens

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bhp090808:
Download root checker from the playstore and see what it says. If it says your rooted you're good. If it says you're not you'll need to uninstall supersu and try again

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] saul1991:
Thanks man I checked it and it was successfull. So I can go ahead and download goomanager and isntall cwm and twp

Why download anything just use the tool to install recovery. That step is one click

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RepublicanDaddy:
EEEK...Noob that is lost...

I know this is supposed to be easy, but my devices never make anything easy... :D

After I root and get to the SuperSU stage, I open SuperSU but it gives me this message...

"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"

I've tried starting over from the beginning, but I get the same error.

Where do I go from here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] saul1991:
I got stuck in that same part but I accidently clicked the wrong option when updating the su binaries I clicked update twrp/cwm instead of "normal" I ended up going into the su settings and un installing su and installing it again through the app store and it update the binaries. Just my opinion but i would wait until someone more experienced replys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RepublicanDaddy:
Thanks for the help attempt. I did that after I got your post, but I still get the same response.....thanks for the help tho....

Anyone else?

EDITED

Ok, I got it working...I deleted all traces of the folders on my PC, redownloaded and re-did the process. Except i still have a question. I don't see anywhere in SuperSU to "update binaries". A couple years ago when I was a rooting and flashing crazed guy, there was an option in SuperUser settings to update them, but I don't see that now. Is it now an automatic thing? If it needs updating it'll have a popup? I don't want to move to the next step unless I make sure my binaries are updated....please lend your thoughts....Thanks again to all...

EDITED AGAIN...

Ok, I'm an impatient jask@$$ so I assumed that my binaries were updated and continued...IT WORKED!!!!! YEAH!!!!!! I love the freedom of root! Thanks for the Wonderful tool!!! FYI - the second time through after re-downloading I also turned off my PCs AV software....I think this may have been the "root" of the problem in the first place (pardon the pun).

Reinstall drivers, make sure your using cable that came with phone, make sure any antivirus software you may have is turned off and or try a different usb port

step 2 stuck

step 2 preparing for recovery rom

doesnt seem to do anything

however it does launch adp 2 times in the background in taskmanager

when i hit enter

the next line is just a flashing cursor and it never changes

should i just restart to the tool and continue to step 3 or 4?

what i see is as shown below

THIS STEP WILL REMOVE SOME ITEMS THAT COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS AFTER RECOVERYINSTALL

PRESS ENTER TO RETURN TO MAIN MENU

Press any key to continue . . .

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

******UPDATE*****

nvm seem somewhrere the process of step1 the usb debugging got disabled

step 2 is working now

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djcyph:
worked great thanks!

side note...i flashed TWRP and when i went to reboot it says lost root fix? i hit yes and it said it fixed SU by updating binaries..

i updated binaries first time launching SU and did normal...i went to do it again before flashing recovery like instructed and nothing popped up in SU to update...as far as i can tell, there is no way to update binaries manually?

everything seems to be fine, i installed Titanium Backup PRO and was able to give Root permissions..just wondering

Help!! Please?

I have a verizon galaxy s4.. and here is a little pre info... I was rooted and on stock rom at one point.. I had installed goo manager and ran it to install TWRP recovery.. i rebooted into recovery (from goo manager) backed up and wiped then installed cyanogen mod june 14th nightly.. it said it was successful.. i rebooted and it bootlooped on boot screen for 20-30 mins. i tried rebooting again. same thing.. i tried booting into recovery (this time via vol Up and power button) it said boot recovery in blue in the corner then would just try and restart and would boot loop again.. So i used a tar file that with odin that would take me back to stock but wouldn't wipe.. so i was able to get the device back up and running.. I ran default all settings to wipe and everything and restart from scratch.. i retried everything i did to originally root (before i found this way i used the manual way by downloading odin downloading to ehe 2 kernel files flashing each in download mode in odin then ran motochopper.. THATS WHERE MY PROBLEM NOW IS.. It keeps failing when it tries to root.. it says succesful with the superuser part but when rooting it keeps failing.. when i reboot i see the supersu app but when i open is says "there is no SU binary and supersu cannot install it. This is a problem!" and try to open a root necessary app and all fail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks so so much!

Installing cm10.1

I am new to rooting etc. I am interested in installing CM10.1 on the verizon galaxy s4. Does rooting the phone via this method allow me to do that? Or does the phone need to be bootloader unlocked as well in order to install a cutom rom?

Help

I have rooted other Droids with similar tools but this one, for whatever reason, is not working for me. Unknown sources and usb debugging are both checked, I have no lock setup on my screen, I download the file from meta and I have the option to extract files so I extract files and then plug in my s4. I get the usb phone connected icon (image of smartphone in bottom left corner above the time) on my pc screen and the notification bar on s4 pops up with "connected as installer" and then nothing. I have full version of Samsung Kies installed and it recognizes s4 with no problem so drivers are installed and working, can't figure out why the tool is not opening for me. I waited 20 min just to make sure I wasn't being impatient. Am I missing a step somewhere? Thanks,

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bhp090808:
Extracting and unzipping is the same. The tool doesnt just open up and start running when you plug your phone in. You have to locate the extracted folder from your download. Open it. Locate run_me amongst the files and double click it. Sorry dont know how to be anymore clear.

Need a little help

I got to the step in Odin where I unchecked F. RESET TIME, checked PDA, chose the .TAR file and clicked START.

Odin instantly said "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)". and then did nothing else.

The phone's screen has said "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" since step one.

So, what's wrong? Why is Odin not doing what it's supposed to do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bhp090808:
Make sure youre using the usb cable that came with youre phone. And try using a different usb port. If youre on a desktop especially, use a port on the rear of the tower. Apparently odin doesnt like front usb ports on some towers

Then, when attempting to edit build.prop, a toast pops up and says "It doesn't appear that your device is rooted."

HUH?

I noticed that when I boot the phone now, the first screen says "CUSTOM" with the padlock symbol.

Then, I just tried to launch SuperSU, and it AGAIN told me the binaries were out of date... I tried to update and it said "installation failed."

I just don't understand why it doesn't work if I've followed the directions exactly.

Not working, but found a solution

I tried rooting my friend's Verizon Galaxy S4 using this tool.

First, I had trouble with one USB port on my laptop. But when I switched to another USB port on the same laptop, the first flashing of the MD2 kernel worked.

But when I got to the step of flashing the MDK kernel, that ODIN tool would not work on either USB port. I had to download the MDK kernel and flash that using ODIN 1.8.5 instead of the other ODIN in this tool. Not sure why you are using an older ODIN version to re-flash the MDK kernel. The older version could not communicate with the S4.

Once I manually flashed MDK, then the rest of the all-in-one root worked to install recovery.

Thanks for the great tool and hard work though.
