[Q] Got confused updating hyperdrive on S4 - General Questions and Answers

Let me start this by saying Its been awhile since i rooted or did anything on my phone. When i bought my S4 i came here and followed instructions to root it, i dont remember what they were but I do remember the chinese program vroot and changing whatever it was to MJ7. Then I installed or flashed (sorry dont know the lingo) hyperdrive 15.
A few days ago i noticed there was an update for hyperdrive to v17, found "Hyperdrive+RLS17.1+KK+S4+Final.zip" and downloaded it. Rebooted safestrap into recovery then messed up the order of installing from zip, data wipe/factory reset and clearing cache. It took a few tries but it finally booted up and i had to enter email again to activate the phone so i thought i was good to go.
I checked the "about phone" and it seems to me im on the same hyperdrive15.I keep running into a problem installing safestrap. It says im not rooted so I started going though the same walkthrough I think i did before. VRoot_1.7.0.3882_Setup was having trouble seeing my phone then never really completed, (Im guessing but it is in chinese) Still no root.
Heres a couple screenshot since i dont really know where exactly I am. What do i need to do to get back to rooted?

Efs help for a noob

*Disclaimer: I'm new to xda and this is my first post*
About 3 days ago I attempted to update my SGH-T959V to 4.2.2 straight from froyo 2.2.1. Lesson learned. I bricked my phone but with the help of this thread, but as one can see, it recovers into GB 2.3.6. I think that may have been my problem because doing so, I lost my efs. I tried looking up how to get the efs back or at least get a new one (of course there's no back up), but the only way to do it requires me to have root access.
Okay, I tried rooting using superoneclick; stuck on step #5.

Next was the zurgerush and this happened
So now I can't even root to get the efs. I'm guessing I would need to flash back to stock froyo 2.2.1 but my guess isn't as good as lass than half of anyone on here.
Can a brotha get some help?
Please and thank you!:good:
You can one-click yourself to a rooted stock gingerbread rom

the root issue can only be solved by either doing what pisher stated, or by simply flashing a kernel such as one of these

i just recently attempted to root my Kyocera hydro icon from boost using the kingsu replacement with supersu method and all was fine and dandy until i had some issues with navigating some parts and functions of the phone and cant remember how but after saving the supersu to system all hell broke lose and i ended up doing a stupid factory reset. well the phone is dam near back to stock think except that supersu can not fully removed because the phone is no longer root but has supersu embedded in system and every time i load a supersu it claims binarysu is missing and to update on top of this i cant seem to root the phone another way. i have spent quit some time wanting to have my phone rooted but delayed due to lack of knowledge in the tech and process i am glad i did not perm mess up phone but would like advice comments or suggestions on ways to remove and attempt to root a gain hopefully succesfully. added below are some screen shots of rootcheck app AFTER reboot to rwactory setting with supersu embedded plz help thank yall again
Again and in advance thank yall for your time and consideration on ths

S6 Edge rooted, touchscreen wouldn't work, can't flash back to stock PLEASE HELP

So im in Las Vegas right now and stupidly tried rooting my s6 edge from the hotel. Driving down to Arizona tomorrow morning and I would love to have my phone working for gps and music and whatnot. So I need to get this fixxed tonight. I will skype or IM anyone that has any sort of way of helping me troubleshoot how to reflash the stock firmware.
From all the tutorials i looked at, I didn't realize that the root I used had to be SPRINT specific. Anyways I rooted it with the wrong thing. Booted up fine, but the touch screen wouldnt work. Alright, trying to reflash the stock firmware and ive had nothing but issues. I've tried 2 different versions of sm-g925p firmware and the furthest I've been able to get is ODIN failing

I have wiped the phone using recovery mode.
Also, after failing the phone displays this message in red and black text in the top left: "SW RE. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 2"
I have used 2 different cables and every usb port on the computer.
I also installed the samsung device drivers for my phone.
Does anybody have ANY ideas at all? I need this fixed asap. Thanks

Unable to root with latest stock flash

A little background
I accidentally disabled and re-enabled developer options and forgot to reactivate oem unlock. when I swapped out my sim card for a trip, it generated the "custom binary blocked by FRP"
I went ahead and solved it by flashing a stock rom.
Here's where my main problem happened :
I can't seem to root the device and I can't seem to be able to flash a custom rom over it either.
When I attempted to root via cf auto root or Magisk (via Odin), the phone will load up then I get a screen saying "Verification Failed" + a notice that the only way to fix it is to do a factory reset.
I just reflash the stock rom back but lose root.
I also tried doing a dirty flash of SuperStock and while the initial install was successful, it won't load up. I left it alone for an hour and nothing happened.
I don't know what else I can do to atleast just root the phone so I can use titanium backup to backup all my app data.
I'm assuming that when I flashed the stock unrooted rom, it went ahead and encrypted my internal storage which is the issue I'm having right now.
I would love to get this sorted out.
I've attached a ss of the build info
Thanks!
