I wasn't too sure where exactly I should place this thread I am sorry. I have an S4 Mini SGH-I257M and I've rooted it once before. After updating my phone to the version 4.4.2 I lost root access. I tried every method to root it and nothing worked. Generally when I used the threads that were about the SGH-I257M, in Odin it would be stuck at RESET even after the phone restarted itself (checked and had no root access). I browsed some more and people said I can use the same method as the GT-I9195. For this one in Odin it said PASS, except when I installed the S4Mini_Rootkit, the SuperU thing wouldn't install and still I had no root access.
Please help! Thank you!

Hi,
Thanks for using XDA assist.
Since you have tried two of the most commonly used root apps, it is highly likely that your phone can not be rooted.
There is no currently known method for rooting your device, however if you still have questions, please create a XDA account and post in the following forum below:

I've recently upgraded phones and have decided to root my S5 active. Unfortunately, I am not running the NE4 version of the firmware, therefore, I am not able to use Towelroot. I've done quite a bit of digging trying to solve the problem to no avail. I've tried using Odin to either downgrade my firmware or install a custom/rooted firmware but Odin gives an "Auth" fail. I've done as much research as I can into why I get an auth fail and nothing I've seen suggested has helped. I've tried installing firmware through the SD card, looked into sideloading firmware but that seems to be only for updates as far as I can tell. I am well and truly at a loss and was hoping someone could help.

can anyone give me some step by steps for rooting this phone? i've been on the google all day now and nothing has worked.
i've tried supposed 1-click methods like kingroot, king-O-root and towelroot. each one fails.
i've also tried slightly more advanced method where you use odin to install a custom recovery thingy and then subsequently install SuperSU using the recovery booting up mode, but odin would "FAIL" too.
as you can tell i'm not savvy as far as all the terminology is concerned but i've been troubleshooting and building PCs (windoze T_T) since i was 11. these smart phones are a whole nother ball game though.
i'm not scared to get my hands dirty i just need a method and/or resources that actually WORK.
help me xda, you're my only hope....
