Use the restore to MJ5 thread in the general section to get a fresh start.

You could also try a factory reset first.

Just as greydiggy said, use the MJ5 restore method or just install a custom ROM.
I will be completely honest I am a complete retard when understanding how rooting works... But I have done the process a dozen of times and I havent had any major problems but for this root I cant figure it out! So here is my problem....
Verizon sent me an update to the newest system version (98.72.189.XT894.Verizon.en.US) so naturally I downloaded and installed the update and it UNROOTED my phone! I no longer have safestrap and superuser access and such. So I have tried different techniques and different programs on rooting this bad boy such as Motofail and Razrs_edge and I still cant get it to work... Both programs have the usual errors of "Permission Denied" or "Unable to". So all and all.... I NEED HELP!
Here is what I do know like im 99% sure about
-I have all the drivers and their is no yellow triangle and I have motorola device manager.
-I have Unknown Sources checked and USB debugging checked.
-I also forced stopped smart actions cuz I read on a post that I was causing problems while rooting.
Here is what I do NOT know
-Which USB mode do I need to be on? Mass Storage? MTP? idk!
-Do it matter that I am on 4.1.2?
Again I want to thank you for your time and I really would like some help with this darn thing! I am kinda desperate right now..

Hi,
The old root method won't work after the OTA update.
You need to use this method:

So far I've had no luck in rooting the Cam2, I'm missing xPosed and Gravity Box. There are some minor hardware differences between the two cameras and the Cam2 is on JB 4.3. Failing root on the Cam2, one might be able to pull the apk from rom.
Oh yeah we would still need the newer bootloader. It's annoying that Samsung have just forgot about us.

Newer boot loader? Is the no root or recovery for galaxy camera 2? Can find any info anywhere on the net.

It hasn't been rooted yet. Most of the root methods don't work on the Galaxy Camera 2. I'm going to make a request of Chainfire to see if cf-autoroot is possible, assuming I extracted the recovery.img correctly.
I've been able to pull some of the camera app files from my Cam2, not sure I've got all of them. The manifest does have some permissions that don't exist on the original camera.
Has anyone seen a download for the surround shot addon for the gs5? It's available on Samsung apps and for 4.2+ but only for the gs5:crying:

Thanks, just got it today. Its a nice camera!
It's a really good camera. I wanted to get the original Galaxy Camera about a year ago, but for a few reasons didn't. I really don't understand why they didn't include(or offer as an add-on) the surround shot, I have it on my Note3 and I've had that for almost 6 months.
So how is the new root working for you? Were you on the most current fw when you rooted?
Also, do you know of the camera is Knox?
Did you lose data after rooting?

Root is working well. I've got GravityBox(JB), XHaloWindow, and XQuickSettingsToggle loaded via Xposed. I probably won't load any others since there's no way to disable xposed if it goes into a boot loop since I don't have custom recovery.
The camera had the latest firmware(NC2, per SamMobile) and while I was asked to disable a Knox program after I rooted, it does NOT have a root switch on the download screen as my Note3 does.
All data was preserved in rooting, though backup early and often(like voting in Chicago).
Here's the link that I first posted in the other thread:
http://download.chainfire.eu/414/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-sf2wifi-sf2wifixx-ekgc200.zip
I see 4 others have also taken the plunge.
Thanks for the update. Will you be flashing a custom recovery?

I'd like to, but I'm not aware of any custom recovery for the Cam2.

Uh, not sure who the recovery experts would be.
I've had no problems with gravity box, I like pie.
Good to know. I have been googling search with exposed module name + boot loop and gravity box popes up a few times. It looks like their have been version that can cause boot loops. So be careful upgrading?

That's odd, works perfectly on my GC200.
I turned on edit notifications, pie and then advanced reboot. Next the screen went black camera vibrated for about 15 secs then eventually rebooted. Upon rebooot the android interface was brutally slow with some fc here and there but I managed to slowly navigate to exposed to uninstall.

Not sure about notifications, but I've got pie and advanced reboot enabled.
I'm not sure about using the xposed disabler via the samsung recovery since it's not signed.

If you check the re partition, it will absolutely brick your device.
Did you follow the guide I made?
If so, make sure you factory reset before your first boot.

Def sounds like hardware. Just replace it.

I've had this happen to me a million times. Turn on your phone in recovery mode (assuming you have the stock kernel) factory reset and wipe cache. Phone will start right up.
