[HOW TO] [VIDEO]Root the Galaxy S4
- Thread starter qbking77
- Start date
I did a factory reset thinking it would unroot my phone. Then I found the hard way that I erased everything for no reason 
I'm running android version 4.2.2 and my goal is to get the latest stock version on there. Before I completely mess up my phone, can somebody tell me what the easiest way is to accomplish that?
Thanks
PS. sorry if I posted in the wrong thread

Google qbking77 YouTube for getting S4 back to stock, basically download stock image and flash it using Odin, used this on mine with no issues.I did a factory reset thinking it would unroot my phone. Then I found the hard way that I erased everything for no reason

I'm also in the same boat where I want to go to 4.4.2 from 4.2.2. I'm looking for options to do it.

What are the options for rooting a 720T? I'm on 4.4.2, software version L720TVPUBNAF. I tried the root method in this thread when I first got my phone a few months ago before I realized that there were two different models with the release of the tri-band version.
The root here works fine. And yes it works on nc6. That's what I am running now.

Hey guys,
I've tried this and also tried another md5. Both of them say "Pass!" and restart and everything works exactly like I see in the video. However, I don't have root access. Nothing has changed. I'm following the instructions exactly. Any ideas on what might be going wrong here? I'm lost.

I installed it, but how does this help? I don't have root access.
Well, it doesn't let me do anything since I don't have root.
Had u ran a root check. If not try that. Not sure if you said you did or not. And if root checker says no. Try rerooting. May help. I used cf root with Odin and worked on 1st try.

The verification fails. All apps that need root access can't get it. I've tried this process like 3 times.
Edit: I got this working with another md5 from a Youtube video. I can't link it here, though.
