Cab someone direct me to the "one click root"? And maybe even to the downgrade if you can?
I have to root my replacement device but I have no internet. So I'm downloading everything to my phone then transferring the files to my friends laptop. So much work. Lol. I can't find these things on the XDA App.

There is no "xda endorsed" method to "one click root" because such methods for the thunderbolt are prone to screwing up your phone and leaving the person doing it in a world of headaches (since if they're using such a method, they have no idea how to undo it probably and even less of an idea of how to describe what they did to someone who could help them). The methods that are out there though are just a hacked together automated method of doing what the stickied topic in the development section does manually in steps.
You're better off not rooting if you don't want to try that or wait/pray that someone with time/patience will walk you through that method.

I said endorsed (it's listed in the stickied post for noobs in the development section, but it's not on its own like the manual method) and not prone to errors. Not sure what you didn't understand about it since I never said methods didn't exist and weren't posted. However, that does not mean you're going to see it stickied at the top of the development section and recommended using. Just because it works for you (the time you tried it) doesnt mean doing it isn't gambling with everything being configured correctly and something unexpected not happening outside the scope of what the automation script for rooting can do.

The way you wrote it sounded like you were implying that it wasn't on XDA anymore. I don't really care if it destroys my phone. If it does, ill get a new one or just fix it. I can't install SDK on my friends computer cause he doesn't want it on there. All I want is a link to the thread or download. I know all of the possible dangers in doing this. I have done this multiple times.

What you need to do is read all of it first then try to root. The first page gets your phone ready for rooting. The second page gets your computer ready for rooting. The right before you start flashing the kdz file you have to set up the magic trick (replacement of the bin file). Good luck

I know it's frustrating but the method works. I've done it several times on this phone. Listen why don't you just concentrate on one thing instead of two. Go step by step regardless if you thing you don't need it just go through it. Rooting is not hard but it's not very easy either. Sounds like your experience is getting in the way of your progress. That's just my opine. Good luck!

So, like many of you I have the me 7 out update and have performed the SD card root method. Now what? I want to use Titanium Backup to start uninstalling the bloatware but I'm not sure which apps I can safely remove without causing issues.
Beyond this, what else can I do with my rooted/ME7 SGS4? What are the best apps for root only?

Personally, I would just freeze. It looks like we're in the long haul for recovery/bootloader. There's a chance that the next hack might not be available until the next update.
Honestly there probably will not be any bootloader unlock for the Verizon S4. Its just been blocked down so tight that its very highly unlikely you're going to get more than root. Maybe recovery but that is a long shot.
And its not about the time involved to find a line of code or some loophole. Its how they have learned from the past. The last few phones only got unlocked because of leaks. Without the leaks they would still be locked to this day. That alone says a lot.

So.. I started seeing concerns pop up about Kingo installing Chinese backdoors into phones and PCs..
Has anyone else heard this? can this be confirmed?
I feel I should wait and see where this goes.
Would love to hear what you all think...
I have the same feeling.. I've finialy got around to the site... and it looks legit. ...even the most popular root tool was retired because of (supposed effortless application of the root tool)the dev saying the kingo was easier.
but i wonder too what is the fine print if any.. let's start the conversation.... Although this might be the wrong section.
It is the wrong section. Belongs in Q&A
Hey guys check this out. I emailed them and told them they should make a bootloader unlocker too, and they emailed me back and said.
Makes me rethink my decision to get the Developer Edition. Maybe they can unlock the bootloader!

I too am curious about the "about face".
Be aware that as of this moment XDA has deemed the Kingo root method and Vroot method are not allowed on XDA. There are concerns with the information which is collected during the root method by the exploit. It is not about a continuous malware which may affect your device but about important information shared about your device, serial numbers etc during the root process which could be huge securities issues.
You have all been warned
Have a great day!

I've moved this to Q and A since it is actually a question and not original development obviously... XDA is not doing a reversal at all... the said systems had yet to have a verified developer/s look at them. Now there has been. It seems that this is a VERY unsecure method of root and can open up your pc and phone to well, nasty stuff... the root files come from china... but for those of you who want to play with fire... be my guest...
This is just me thinking out loud...
Personally, I think I would be more worried about the NSA gaining access to our phones. J/K
In all seriousness, I am curious if there is any real evidence that points to anything underhanded happening when using the Kingoapp method or is this just stating that the possibility exists and it is unknown? And, if the makers of Kingoapp wanted to assure us that nothing hinky is going on, what would they have to do to prove it to the XDA community?
I think these are fair questions as human nature in general tends to turn supposition into fact in the blink of an eye so it would nice to know the real facts before anyone starts casting dispersions on them just because the root files are from China.
I do understand the precaution of removing any Kingoapp links in XDA in the meantime. :good:

Kingoapp posted a response to all of the accusations made about their app on their facebook page.
So it seems that what everyone is all worked up about is that part of the information that it gathers from your phone to identify it so that the proper scripts can be downloaded is the IMEI # on the phone. The folks at Kingoapp agree that, that tidbit of information isn't necessary in the identification process and their next version will remove that "requirement." They also explain that they do use "free" servers to store some of their scrips to cut down on the traffic on their servers and the related data download costs. They will also release a version down the road that will include all of the scripts when the app is downloaded to your PC so that during the rooting process, there is no need for the app to communicate with other servers.
As I suspected, people have gone off half-cocked claiming malware is installed on the phone/PC, etc. Someone even posted that XDA said that Kingoapp installed malware (which XDA did not say!) on Kingoapps facebook page.
I wish people would realize that baseless accusations and rumors hurt the cause and could cause companies like Kingoapp, that are providing a free way to root your phone without tripping Knox in one step, to stop development and remove their work from the market.

Great news, and agreed. I've been waiting for things to calm down. I want Kingoapp and root. Seems the best for the time. Not ready to root, yet, but I will and I hope Kingoapp has the update by then.
I wonder how many people have downloaded, without a second thought, root apps, or themes.....and even non root. Guess where a LOT of those are written? Just sayin.
So a few days ago I emailed Kingo support asking about the MTKcamera spyware and about their program being spyware in general. This was their response...

Proper grammar, sentence and paragraph structure, and intelligent, this is obviously not a punk trying to rob us of anything. After reading their explanation, I'd be much more comfortable using their product.
Good read. I was most leery about it reading IMEI, and will use their software in their next release that removes it.

E.S.L.
The more I read from Kingo and the more I look into this issue, the more I think that they are not doing anything shady.
Their app. is advertised for rooting, unlocking, etc., TONS of different devices. Some devices I know need to have certain codes created from that specific device's information (like the IMEI and SN or whatever) in order to achieve some of these unlocks, etc...
I have a hunch they just collect that info. from all the connected devices in case they need it on their servers to generate one of these specific codes/scripts they need.

I think an important thing to consider is that word spreads through the development community pretty quickly and if they were caught red handed helping themselves to private data they risk a major backlash, most android enthusiasts take their phones more seriously than politics or religion. The letter seems legit and they are removing the questionable information gathered. To offend this community is a legitimate way to lose 60+ percent of the people who would use your services, free, ad supported or otherwise. There is only one company/entity who had constantly screwed with development and the xda crew and that's Verizon Wireless. Kingo is not Verizon Wireless.
I got more jelly beans than jelly belly, on my S3, S4, and Note 2. Where is my jellybeans ROM for my Note 3?

How did this work for you?
They've updated the rooting software
Can anyone confirm that this method is now a more XDA approved method? As in it no longer pulls personal data from the device other than things that are necessary such as phone model and such.

The official recommendation is to wait for version 2.0, as it will have this server information sending "feature" removed. That is based on Kingo's response. To say that Kingo devs had bad intentions for us is not accurate, but the sending of certain information to foreign servers when it really shouldn't be necessary is always understandably a red flag.
Will it hurt you to use Kingo root on your Note 3 now? Probably not. Is it safer for you to just wait for version 2.0? Probably.
Hope that helps.
They've updated to v1.1.2 it seems ( Mod Edit: links to vRoot or Kingo are currently not allowed on XDA.
) which is why I asked. Looks like they supposedly fixed the questioned issue...but I am in no way able to confirm that.
