MJ7 root methods available? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hi all. I saw a thread on here already about MJ7 users successfully rooting their devices. I personally do not care about tripping any kind of knox alarm, as I have a free deductible on my phone. Are there any methods other than the Vroot and Klingo (sp?) that I can actually find a link to? I'd really like to start experimenting with ROMs on this device and I find myself being held back by speculation of backdoors in China.

There's no other at the moment that we know of or that is public. Just keep an eye on the other thread and you'll know when one comes up.

Diagram of Order of Operations

Question: Does anyone know if there is a diagram of some sort showing "how customized Android works"?
Meaning: You have ROM's, CMOS of some sort I use called TWRP, the OS itself, etc.
Assume: There are tons of hard core computer people out there, many even Linux people....who just never really "got into phones" by choice, but always appreciated and followed them...and would like to understand how things work.

Its a question, therefore q&a
Development is for a release of some sort, not asking for stuff
Schematics or flow charts?
Do you also wants flow chart of kernel lineage?
Thanks for writing.
I'm just looking for something simple that a 5 year old could understand.
Like a Photoshop picture or something with like blocks that tell me what leads to what, and what does what... Assuming you're rooting your phone. Meaning...If I root my phone, I need to understand what the ROM does, what the CMOS (whatever it's called) does, which is most important to do first, etc. Flow-charty, yes. etc
But...anything you have is fine.
Thanks

I also have the secret KFC recipe.
In all seriousness, someone asked a similar question last week and basically what you're looking for is not available. Maybe a Linux/Android book may have something.

development and original development

What is the deal with our phones having a development and an original development section on the forums here. I just got my s4 and I dont want to screw it up by flashimg twrp from the original development section if that was for a prerelease version of the phone or something weird like that.
Thanks in advance :good:

idk...I understand what the difference is but it seems like they both have the same stuff. I don't see a huge difference as far as what is ACTUALLY posted in them.

Yeah at some point in time it got all mixed up, someone needs to go through and sort them.

Ok, now that I'm rooted what happens when 4.4 is available?

I finally beat the MJ7 and my S4 is rooted, what happens when 4.4 is out, do I have to return to stock?
Actually I'm enjoying the Xposed for the first time, nice work XDA
Thanks
There's usually a method to upgrade and keep root, but we won't know until 4.4 comes out in March at the earliest. You got awhile.
Also, there's a sticky at the top of this forum titled "RULES for posting in development", you're only supposed to post your dev work. If you have a question, ask it in the Q&A section.
Have patience and wait

Don't update. Wait for one of these awesome developers to root it and thank them.

[Q] Bloatware safe to remove/freeze?

Anyone have a list of bloatware that they have either frozen or removed and not had any issues? This thing is filled with it!
It hasn't even been rooted yet, so you can't freeze or remove the bloat. All you can do is disable it.

Umm, yes it has. Please read up before giving pointless answers. You can root with ioroot which can be found in the main thread.

There is nothing in the Verizon Android Development, or Verizon Original Android development forums.
Edit: I posted the link to the ioroot thread in the Verizon Android Development forum. Hopefully everyone will see it now.

You're a little late here, lol.
Seems Sneaky has had the firmware since at least the 18th

Can already flash venom ROM with no modifications needed to boot.
Also no that link is for US DEV Unlocked firmware which will prob turn into the custom thing, in layman's terms.
Also I was just busting yah, as this thread will be the same as others.
It's going to be interesting because twrp isn't working. I imagine it's do to the new way nougat is partitioned
