Did you read the Firmware sticky in the General section?

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.

No im dumb, wrong forum sorry!
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 I have a problem from going to 5.1.1 from 5.0.2. I have tried clearing cache,
I have 9gb free,
made sure everything is up to date and enabled,
and have factory reset my phone.
Still doesn't work.
Says something about "dm- verity verification fail" if I go into that developer screen when you hold power, home and volume up right after it tries to update again while loading.
Never has been rooted and have had it for a few months now. Also I was wondering if I could root this phone and just manually update it with custom firmware and forget about Ota updates anymore and be able to run the latest and greatest firmware. I have read in a few places that the new bootloader is un-cracked though and can't be rooted? Thanks.

#1 didn't show any update but I did go to the samsung kiosk in best buy. He said he has had this problem with phones on other carriers too and he flashed it! Still would like to know if anyone is working on rooting these...

Would love a root, but if the rumors are true, that a new S7 Active version will be announced in Jan and released in Mar, and the new S7 Active (still likely only an AT&T exclusive...) has noticeable improvements, perhaps a root solution for this phone may fall to the way-side.
I'm on the fence about getting an S6, kinda waiting to see if I can get any confirmed specs for a new S7.
Argh... tough...
I have a samsung G900AUCU3BOC4 5.0, can it be rooted? And how?
Also, if it can't be rooted, is it possible to change my firmware to tmobile? I changed my carrier to tmobile a while back, but my firmware is at&t.

You've been going around the att forums saying it's possible to root starting from 5.0, it isn't, unless you have solid proof it is stop misleading people.

It's not possible, I assume they mean ping-pong root which won't work.

I'm not talking about the app. I was talking about the root binary. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/aquos-crystal/general/temp-root-306sh-t3129456. Just use the root file. You can also use King root because it uses the same exploit.

So that will work? Also, kingo root gives me an error saying root unsuccessful after it reboots my phone and vibrates 3 times.

No Kingroot not Kingoroot. There is a difference.

That is still not going to work on "THIS" phone with "THIS" lollipop bootloader.
I think you are mixing what worked on other phones (maybe s5) with this particular s5. I'm pretty sure a dev has already thought of and tried that, and if it really worked, you would have been heard about it.
Correct I have the att variant of s5 with 5.1.1 and sadly no root on it as of yet, I can say that kingroot team is researching it as it is close to the top of list for people requesting research, hopefully they will figure it out soon if you happen to have the att variant of s5 and have not gone up to 5.0+ yet then i suggest that you do not do so otherwise your going to have no root and no way to get it yet.
King root
My phone is -
SM-G900A AT&T
Lollipop 5.0 G900AUCU3BOC4
I just used KINGROOT king481.apk
It did take a while and at the ATT splash screen it stop for a few minutes.
Next it rebooted three times........ Root Checker now says it is Rooted.
I have rebooted and turned the phone off 5 times without issue.
Also Titanium Backup Pro installed detecting that the phone was now rooted.
I hope this helps

as far as i know there are no custom roms for this phone.
i myself have an LG G Vista VS880, i have had it rooted for the longest time now.
But you never know someone, somewhere may have one... i just know i have never found one and gave up looking.
Why cant the same rooting technique be used for the H740 .Also what version of kingo root works to root
