If you flashed EP1W, you're already rooted. I don't know of any EP1W builds that have been released unrooted. Check for the Superuser app. You should have it, and if you do, you're rooted.

Would it be with all my other apps

all you have to do is use odin to flash CWM, boot into it then flash superuser .zip package... I can get you links when I get to my pc

no problem yeah its kind of an information overload at first, I felt the same when I first got an android phone...
CWM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112804
just use Odin to flash CWM, then boot into it right after you Odin it and flash the attached .zip (put on your sd card first)... and presto you'll be rooted

what section to I put the files in odin lie pda phone etc.

the CWM file should be a .tar or .tar.md5 and you put it in PDA (never touch any of the other buttons except PIT), uncheck auto reboot box as well since you should have the battery in to flash with Odin... after it successfully flashes unplug the phone and pull the battery, then put the battery back in and hold volume up + home + power until 'Samsung' comes up then let go of power while holding the other buttons still until CWM comes up then flash superuser there

Can sgsg4 unroot itself

I did a factory reset cause some issues where occuring, now none of my root apps are working, SU is still there but it fails to get itself root access when it updates. Do i need to re root? With super one click?

Use root checker to confirm?

You can also see if super user app is there in your applications...
ofcourse you can check that by downloading root checker app from play store.

Just reflash.

Like lumin says reflash. Use the second link in his signature.
However what rom are/were you on?If it is not a stock based rom dont use the reset feature within the phone use the one in recovery.

Thanks lumin you continue to be a trusted advisor. I flashed
a stock gingerbread from lumin last week.

Perfect is a hard statement to make. Any of the ICS flavors are pretty stable there are bugs but even stock roms have bugs. I think barebones by antonx is a good one and VB by FB is too.

Is it add simple as installing stock GB was using heimdall? I've read good things about VB would you possibly post a link? Most I click on are dead/inoperable...

Had that problem before u just reflash the ROM. As long as u can still go to cwm recovery

It un rooted itself again! Wth. I dont have cwm. How do I get that?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

Run Gremlin Remover and go from there. You will have root and CWM to flash the ROM you want.

I'm not sure that I understand the cwm. Click work mod? I put that on my CPU and tether it with the market app? Sorry this is still very new to me...

My device did this bone stock aswell...not sure why. Normally you will get a custom unlock screen after rooting with odinand flashing a recovery thru ez recovery on a locked bootloader. the fix, unlock your bootloader.

no I didn't do nothing that's why it's so weird I'm not even rooted,I have all the tools but haven't done it yet.

Someone correct me if im wrong, but in order to root this phone you need to flash an already rooted ROM, you must use the nvflash link that was provided for you no matter what, and then once CWM is flashed, flash a ROM.
Hope this helped!

Super one click doesn't put cwm recovery on the phone if you want rooted stock kwes has one pre made flash through cwm easy as pie guys. I dont understand why you would want your phone rooted with no recovery installed. Just makes it harder to fix if you mess up

There is one method in the android development section it has been there for months and it's the first post. There are to others that have been updated since it was posted last year also in the android development section. Lastly all the methods work you just have to CAREFULLY follow directions.

Yes its hard yo find all the tight files I have Odin 307 I think do you know if that will work with the files?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Yes it will work.

Is it beanstwon method that you are referring to?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Yes it doesn't require Odin. It is just a one click method.

Oh OK I read a lot of the comments and they are positive feedback but as I watched on this guy on YouTube his comment section are loaded with this "messed up my phone" or "don't do this this doesn't work" very little comments that said this worked for me. If this doesn't work on the first try I understand using another USB port on the computer is an option and using a different cord other than the one Samsung gives you is also an option. Is there anything to know about before doing this? This phone s my daily driver and I really don't want to have to use a prepaid phone.
And Should I also download the stock ROM not rooted before doing in case it does like some kind of soft brick?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Well I have never tried the one click method as I use Odin to root my phone. So get the stock roms as backup in case you run into problems with casual.

OK thank you so much for the advice and I'll shall let you know what happens.

If you hard brick your phone you send it to jtag and pay them to get it fixed because nothing else works.
If you are feeling squeamish about the whole thing then it is probably a better idea not to do it.

Just thought you might like to know that I just used CASUAL this morning to root my galaxy s3 on Verizon build VRBMF1 with no problem. CASUAL unlocks the bootloader and installs TWRP which I like so far. Just make sure you grab the right download and if it doesn't work the first time try again with a different mirror. There's a version of it floating around out there that for some reason wouldn't work with my drivers.
Hope this helps ease your mind a little. Oh btw I probably read 1000 posts about rooting and the best method and someone claims to have bricked their with every single one of them. It's a risk we take.
