Hello, first off I have a Galaxy s3 SCH-I535, 4.3 software version. A few months back I rooted my phone, but. I decided to unroot it to get the 4.4.2 mostly because the "install software update now" screen kept, keeps on popping up every few hours. Sometimes not even an hour. I went to YouTube to check up on videos showing me how to unroot my phone. I found a user that supposedly showed how to unroot a phone without a computer. I followed his instructions and, technically, it worked. But I came to find out that his method didn't unroot my phone. I still can't update my software and I can't seem to be able to finish my uprooting. I even tried rerooting in order to unroot it by another mood but I can't do that either. When I try to reroot it with the "saferoot" method (which was the program I used to first root it) there is a sign that says "your kernel has being patched". It reinstalled SuperSU but the app says that it doesn't detect an SU binary. I'm lost. I really need help. I much much rather know how to finish my unrooting.
Hi,
The first post here is about returning to stock state. If you need further help you can ask in the thread,

So, I've done this before, and I've never bricked a device until now.
I tried installing a custom rom for my Galaxy S3 on Verizon, but when I restarted, it says this:
System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help.
I can't get into clockwork, or any bootloader. Any attempt to do anything brings this screen up.
Now, I can get into the Odin downloader. (Power, volume down and home). But, I can't figure out how to get a Rom to load. This is where I am stuck. I have downloaded a few roms, all stock, but none of them want to be recognized. I have no idea where to go. I've been downloading stuff for 5 hrs and nothing has worked, so now Im going to the forumns. Any help is appreciated.
I have the Verizon i-535 Galaxy SIII.
You did not brick your phone you failed to unlock your bootloader. There are 2 guides in the android dev section for rooting.

Odin back to stock and next time after rooting make sure to use EZUnlock 1.2 to unlock the bootloader BEFORE loading a ROM
I made another thread about this but found this section and decided it was a better area to post.
Well I tried using Odin to flash my phone before rooting and now I get an error that says "Unauthorized actions have been detected. Tap here for more information."
I have the Verizon S4 and im just looking for some help on getting a quick root to my phone. TowelRoot doesn't seem to be supported by my phone.

Yes, similar things happened for the TowelRoot on the S5 too.
Here is the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4 General [HOW TO] [ROOT] [APK] Root for NC5 OTA (All Kitkat devices) without PC!!! thread.
It also refers to TowelRoot app, which only works on older firmware versions ... unfortunately no longer on latest versions. (As they have the respective exploit patched.)
And the Verzion S4 has a locked bootloader. That's why you can't flash a custom recovery etc. with Odin.
A possibe solution coud be to "downgrade" to an older firmware (or kernel) and then root it with TowelRoot.
EDIT: I see that you have already asked in the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
That's the right place. Be patient and wait for a better advice from there.
Thread closed and thank you.
I recently rooted my Samsung galaxy s5 r mobile. I downloaded lucky patcher. I then installed the nodded version of Google play. When I tried to use it, my factory pre installed version was suddenly gone. The nodded version kept saying that there were network errors. Every time I pressed retry it would bring the same thing. I factory reset my phone to try and get the factory version back. It worked, but when I tried to sign into my Google account, it brought the message:"can't establish a reliable connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, contact customer care." This keeps showing up. Is my phone broken? Help!

Hey guys, I tried unrooting my Note 3 (no specific carrier) via the SuperSU app (full unroot).
My device didn't reboot and when I tapped the SuperSU icon, the app did not open and an error message came up.
I then restarted my device manually, afterwards the SuperSU app was gone but the device was still in a custom state according to settings.
Also the software update was not possible, it also said the device was still modified.
I then tried installing the SuperSU app again, but now it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
Please help guys, this is crap.
UPDATE: I made a complete reset and updated back to stock via Odin. Now it works fine and the status is back to official. Knox Warranty Void though^^ 0x1. Smooth!

I got a new phone because my iphone 5 got stolen and it was jailbroken and when I got my samsung device I decided I want to root it. Upon research and countless hours on how to root my phone I got nothing. I guess i'm new when it comes to rooting and i'm trying my best to learn as much as possible.
Anyways, I've tried Kingo Root and it keeps failing, i've tried King root (2 different applications of king root) When I open the app it says Root Acess is unavailable and on the bottom of the app it says Root strategy available, just try it and there is a button asking to try to root. And then it goes to 16% then goes up slowly and then it jut says root failed no strategy retry. Sometimes the app closes out and my homescreen is all black.
I've heard of odin but I've never tried it, if anybody could help me out on rooting my device that would be great.
