Hello.

Some of you might already have heard this question, but didn't seem to find an specific answer for my phone > Canadian S4 SGH I377M running Android 4.3

After the first time, I've tried installing a custom recovery (after rooting with motochopper). I've got an error because I wasn't granted root access. Tried to see with an app : no root access neither. Verified with a terminal : no root access. Tried re-rooting, it shows the following message :

Code:

What is there left to do?

What methods have you tried? Did you try the Chainfire Auto Root?
