I tried to root my phone using Kingo. After it was done and i rebooted i tried to check it with the root checker application.
All i get is this message: SuperSU has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to acces system in your device.
The root check application just seems to freeze and nothing happens.
What went wrong?

This is the forum for the S4 Active, which is a very different forum than the regular S4, so first off make sure you are posting in the proper forum. Second, Kingo is not used to root the S4 Active, there are threads in the development forum that explain how to root both the AT&T i537 and the international i9295. Finally, if you do indeed have an S4 Active more information is needed; explain the steps you used to root and whether you have the AT&T version or the international version.

On verison moto X 4.4.2 and have rooted with Pie, but trying to get towelroot working and not getting it. Have the app installed and says rooted but fx file explorer and su says no root.
I've read the towel root threads and not sure I understand.... busybox and gravity something NEED to be installed before towelroot will root?? Or does the towelroot app work by itself? I cant get it to.

Since we already have a towelroot thread, this question probably belongs inside there. The mods don't approve of opening duplicate threads.
YES, you NEED busybox - specifically the Stericson variant. Don't use any of the other variants (it is linked in the OP of the towelroot thread). Gravitybox / Xposed are OPTIONAL, and you do not HAVE to have them to use towelroot.
Other than that, I have no advice for you, other than post this IN the towelroot thread. Those people are more likely to be in a position to help you...
(I'm unlocked and don't use Towelroot / PIE)
Good Luck

Well its a question thats why i put it here.. I read thru the towel root threads and nothing looked simple so I started this here for SIMPLE step directions. I have installed busybox and don't know what to do with it.. still no root with towel root, but continuously get root over and over by rerunning the last 2 commands of Pie root. Would be nice to be able to get root without rerunning Pie
My Simple steps so far
1. flash stock
2. downloaded towelroot and ran it, changed the last dig to a 1 (if that matters)
3. no root.
4. Pied my moto and got root and than rebooted and lost root.(expected)
5. tried towel root again and still no root. (not expected, thought i would have root)
6. made this thread downloaded busybox and installed it. don't know what else to do with it, says installed correctly,
7. rebooted and tried towel root again and still NO root.
8. ?? need help.

Questions are OK in their appropriate discussion threads....even if those threads are located in 'general'.
I can tell you that Towelroot has inherent limitations because of the SU context that is being used.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53936577&postcount=108
and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53960943&postcount=120
Although several of us (myself included) have tried to get the DEV to comment on the issue, we haven't heard a word back... For these reasons, it is suggested to use PIE and PIE only, and just try to avoid rebooting your device...

Thanks for trying to help.. I'm about to give up.. Pie works great you don't need to run all 4 root commands.. just 3 and 4, the pushed files remain on the phone after reboot so just run 3 and 4 commands and rooted again.. wish it was possible to run those commands via and app!
My device is S4 active from AT&T. I followed this post Root 4.3 I537UCUBML2 Galaxy S4 Active I537, Working Method (can not post link, pls google it) to root it. Everything seems fine expect the step to install SU binary in SuperSU. I guess it's rooted, because I can see ADB shell is listed in the SuperSU app. But I still can not get full access as root user. Any one can help me?
BTW, I've tried activeroot and towelroot, both didn't work.

I searched for the post you described and found this. If that is the method you used, it is completely outdated and should no longer be used. Since you've modified your system I think the only way you're going to get it to work is to:
Reflash the stock ML2 firmware (this will completely wipe your phone)
Root your phone using towelroot
Install SuperSU from the Play Store
In the future please visit the i537 Firmware Thread for anything related to stock firmware and rooting. I try to keep it up to date with the latest methods.

Thanks for replying. I tried the towelroot before I tried this one. It didn't work. So you mean if I use this firmware, then I can root it?
How to reflash firmware, any instruction? Thanks.
The instructions on how to reflash are in the firmware thread. Simply find the post at the top of the thread with xxxxxML2 and you will see links to discussions and downloads.

Hi all,
sorry if this question has been asked to death, but I've looked at the majority of guides I can find both here and elsewhere, and some of the information seems contradictory and I want to avoid bricking my device.
As of 2015, how can I root the I9305?
The phone is running Android 4.3.
A couple of people have said Knox was an issue, but I've checked on the phone, and when I go into the Knox app from my app drawer, it gives me a screen asking me to install it, and nothing else, so I'm not too sure if that would be a problem, although I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Again, sorry if this has been asked before, and thanks for any help!
Bumping..
Can anyone just confirm whether the Chainfire method still works, or am I better off going with the Unified android toolkit method?
First you should upgrade to 4.4.4.
For me cf-auto-root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.zip rooting method worked well. Uploaded it with Odin3-v3.07.exe.
Update supersu to get past Knox.
I had issues with cwm so use twrp instead.
openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-f2fs-i9305.tar

Hi all I'm confused I got a galaxy S5 on Wed with Lollipop already installed. I've read multiple posts and still have one question, "Can this phone be rooted?" I keep finding different answers. If not can I reload an older version of android that can be rooted, I need root for my anti-theft and Titanium Backup. Not to mention root is needed for removing Bloat(crap)ware that Samsung and AT&T install.
Thanks

As this time, no, the G900A with the completely stock 5.x load can not be rooted.
Since the bootloader is locked, and they bumped one of the counters with the 5.x loader, you can not install a previous version. You're welcome to try but if it fails you will likely have an unrecoverable brick - unless the AT&T Store or Samsung Experience Store has the complete ODIN file to re-flash your device with.
Until someone determines a way of rooting the stock L load, you're stuck without.
Regards.

Im in thesame boat as u. I have been told by a bunch of high ranking devs that it will come its just a matter of time. If u downgrade im almost positive u will end with a very expensive paper weight. Just relax it will come
somebody can check language on 5.0 ? can be enabled multilanguage with language enabler or more locale etc ?

Thank you for the quick reply. I'll wait as I'm sure it's just a matter of time before someone cracks this version or a compatible ROM is published
I only root to get rid of bloatware. While lollipop seems to be handling the ram and battery usage better, it still makes me angry when I see one of those crap apps running that I can't uninstall.
One would think the FCC would make AT&T and others allow this stuff to be uninstalled when the consumer owns the phone.
Kingo root method
just watched a video on WWJOSHDU youtube page, about kingo rooting at&t devices any idea whether that includes the S5 with lollipop?
I found on my wife s5 which I had to unroot and return to stock for warranty when I got the replacement & upgraded to lollipop that in app settings you can disable all the bloat

You can download PackageDisabler.apk and disable all bloatware. It also fixed the "Unauthorized Actions......." recurring prompt after the latest security update by disabling all KNOX related packages.

sorry if this was already brought up.. i didn't have much time so i did some brief searching and didn't really find too much... some posts looked like you would have to wipe your phone just to root it and i was hoping that ain't the case...
help is appreciated!!! thanks !!

Sorry this is absolutely the case, what firestorm942 didn't explicitly mention is that in order to be rooted at all on lollipop, you have to start from rooted KitKat. To see the full process see my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63639949&postcount=2
Yes the process wipes your phone at one point and yes this the only way to be rooted on lollipop

The problem is kingroot copies all your personal data (including your IMEI) and sends it to a server in China. I recommend against it since I don't trust that for a second. Supersu is known to be safe, stable, and effective

Actually, yes there is
You can accomplish it even if you've already updated to lollipop
Sometimes the correct way of doing things takes a little more effort than the easy way out, but why do something if you don't want to do it right?

If you're on KitKat, root with towelroot. If you're on lollipop use Odin to go back to KitKat then root with towel root, and then you can use the keep root method to update to rooted lollipop
