That "/X" enables command extensions, which are normally enabled unless you run it as administrator.

Please tell me you aren't normally logging in as Administrator. That's really bad security practice.

Hi! One question...

Saferoot will work on a galaxy s4 with 4.4.2 NE2 from Telcel Mexico??

I have rooted this phone with saferoot on 4.3 but I want to take the ota update 4.4.2.

What should I do?

Thanks a lot!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nergal di Cuthah:
No saferoot doesn't work 4.4.2

You need to unroot and unmodify your phone to take the OTA and then use towelroot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AsAeL_DC:
it doesn't work because the kernel is patched??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AsAeL_DC:
and what if i change the kernel in 4.4.2 for the kernel MK6 of 4.3? or thats imposible?

As I've said several times, don't bother asking, try it. It's a tiny download, and there's no risk in trying it. Either it will work, or it will say that your phone is unsupported.

My guess: with a NC2 build, it's probably patched. You may need to use Towelroot.

Thank you sire! Worked like a charm on my Galaxy S4 Mini GT-I9192 4.2.2 Brazillian MK4 with kernel 3.4.0

Just a few observations:

After allowing busybox instalation, the process goes smoothly until it reaches the point when it tries to disable KNOX automatically, but in my case it just remained in this phase until I got bored and closed the cmd, unplugged and rebooted manually my device. After manual reboot that I got to run Super Su and install the binaries and got asked about disabling KNOX, thus finishing the rooting process.

Thanks a lot!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dziarsky:
I need a help.

My steps:

- install TWRP to full wipe and format internal storage (not sure its good choice),

- Use odin to install latest 4.3. firmware available for my country,

- use saferoot procedure with any errors happened.

results:

custom binary download: yes (1 counts),

current binary: samsung official,

system status: custom,

knox warranty void: 1

ap swrev: a2

Can you help with it?

Whats other steps i need to make to fully wipe and bring firmware to original status with no warranty issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] t5s:
Flashing a custom recovery probably caused the Knox-bit to change from 0 to 1 and according to current knowledge this is irreversible. In EU-countries this doesn't necessarily void the guarantee on the hardware.

Why are you rooting it again?

Maybe you can revert the system status back to official. Maybe by flashing the stock recovery, but I'm no expert for this.

But since you now have Knox status 1 anyway you can experiment freely.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dziarsky:
Thx for tips.

At the moment i reinstal stock recovery and made Triangle App work - Custom: No (finaly),

But Knox flag is still 1.

Like you said - in UE i should dont worry about that counter?

Now i try to unroot phone from Super SU (full unroot and cleaning) and reinstal firmware by odin again to have clear ROM on the board.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Once the Knox flag is set, you're stuck.

Some have claimed that they were able to get that cleared by the customer support people at VZ, but I find that pretty unlikely.

You've burned the fuse, and there's no way to un-do that physical damage and reset it.

im gonna say it here too

"HEY HEY!

i heard some russian rooted his gt 9506 android 4.3 using latest KINGO root software on pc...

apparently old one not working but new version of kingo does not trip Knox!!!!

Gonna try it now!"

So can this method root the gt 9506 using 4.3?

Anyone help me? please! wanna get really rooted

OR

This method that is posted and talked about here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
If it's Android 4.3, you can certainly give Saferoot a try as it's likely to work and won't do anything if it doesn't work.

As has been said over and over, this won't set the Knox Warranty Void flag (which is often inaccurately referred to as "trip Knox".)

Kingo? As far as I know, that's still closed-source, opaque software. Discussion of it is banned on XDA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pckarma112:
If saferoot wont. Cf would be second choice. Then towelroot. Anything but malware..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
To be fair, nobody's ever demonstrated that Kingo or Vroot are actually malware. But you're right: there's almost never a reason to use them given that there are open, trustworthy rooting methods.

I'm trying to install 4.4. I ran the unroot.bat file and did full unroot from SuperSU. I'm still getting the custom flag.

Is this because I used titanium backup to freeze or delete applications? I don't have Knox on my phone at all.

System restore the phone back to default and try again?

Is there a place I can download 4.4 and update through Kies? It's a pain to wait 45min to download the update from ATT, only for it to fail and have to re-download later.

K1mu, please help and try to add support for this device tooo. please..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nergal di Cuthah:
If the kernel is patched there is nothing that this root method can do. It's not like K1MU has a way of tweaking it, the vulnerability needed to root with this method is fixed and this can't be exploited.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
If you've deleted anything, you aren't stock and therefore will have a "Custom" flag. That's why "debloating" is a bad idea if you ever want to take a factory upgrade.

Before unrooting, you should thaw anything you froze. Then you're back to stock but rooted, and all you need to do is to unroot. Modified and unrooted may not be able to be upgraded.

For a image that'll get you back to factory stock, look in the forums for your device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pckarma112:
If he unroots and does a fr. Wont that put everything back to official?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] IamJonsCranium:
I unfroze everything in Ti Backup. I no longer have the custom flag set, but it still won't update.

Is there a place the update gets saved to the phone when it downloads? It's so frustrating to have to wait an hour for the download only to fail again. Would be nice to try and reinstall from phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
If a factory update fails, then there's some file that the factory provided that's been modified. I've posted verification scripts for various VZ images (MJ7, MK2 iirc), so you can figure out what to restore.

Using Saferoot alone will not modify anything that will stop you from applying a factory update. If you've done anything else, you'll need to figure out how to undo that, and restore to stock . Downloading an image is the best way to do that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bryantjopplin:
Do you have the stock recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pckarma112:

Hi, I Plan on doing a factory reset. Is there anything special that I have to do?

Android 4.4.4 Build: KTU84P.I9305XXUFNI3

Is there any chance to work this on Android 4.4.4 Build: KTU84P.I9305XXUFNI3?

Can you help to root this version with safe root.

Many thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
What happens when you try it? Given that it's a 4.4.4 build, it's probably running a patched kernel, which doesn't have the defect that Saferoot uses to gain root access.

Once the door is closed and locked (i.e. once the kernel is patched), you can't unlock it unless you can downgrade to an earlier release. You'll need to look for another rooting technique, such as Towelroot.

Better still, return the phone as unusable for purpose and demand an unlocked phone. In six months, my VZW contract is up, and I'm leaving. Why should I pay a vendor that refuses to meet my needs with a phone?

I rooted my phone using this method years ago, but some recent app updates seem to be killing my battery and causing my phone to run hot. If I factory reset my phone will I lose root.

I am still on android 4.3 and am not interested in updates, which i why i rooted my phone in the first place.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
A factory reset will wipe your user partition, but won't usually strip root. If you re-flash with a factory ROM image, that will always cause you to lose root.

The safest thing to do is to look for a pre-rooted flash for your device - in other words, a factory ROM image that has been modified to be rooted after installation completes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rageboardr:
For this device i never flashed any Roms at all. I just rooted to freeze some apps, and prevent android from updating. I used to ROM alot back when i had a DroidX and Rezound, but there were always glitches, that were frustrating. I really prefer not to flash any ROMS if possible. I just want to find an easy route to make my phone work a little better. Thoughts?

What odd things might happen if i just initiate a factory reset? I assume i will have to go back in and refreeze some apps, correct?

Or if necessary can you recommend a ROM that is without issues>
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hotshot247:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
As has been said a bunch of times - give it a try if you have an older kernel. It's not likely to work for anything built in the last year or less.

It's not likely to work, and will not harm anything if it fails.

Does Saferoot work on Windows 10?

I installed the Motorola USB drivers with no issue and am able to read the external SD card on my JB 4.1.2 XT894 as expected (there is no SIM card in the phone yet).

I enabled USB Debugging but the utility stuck at "Waiting for your phone to appear" whether I chose the MTP or PTP USB connection.

On my laptop I disabled Autoplay and rebooted the cellphone, but neither made any difference. Am I missing a configuration step? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Yes, it will work on Windows 10. The problem is with the drivers not being up to date. I wasn't able to find a working Windows driver for my old Fire Phone. My current OnePlus 2 doesn't work with Windows, either. (Windows 7, in my case.) The "universal" drivers out there seem to work with access to media (which is pretty much standardized), but don't support the latest ADB protocol as far as I can tell.

I used my Mac to root my Fire phone. It also allows the OnePlus to connect. So, try finding recent drivers (something from 2015).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mel2000:
Thanks for your reply k1mu. Fortunately I was finally able to get my laptop and XT894 to communicate and was able to successfully use Saferoot. Turns out I had to use the PTP mode.

I used Windows Task Manager to kill adb.exe running in the background. While the phone was plugged into the computer, I switched to PTP, disabled USB Debugging then re-enabled it. Saferoot could then see my device.
