In the root thread someone mentioned that his LTE speed s suck3d after rooting. Seems unlikely to me but can anyone confirm or deny this?

Root does not mess with LTE signals in any way whoever told you that did not know what he was talking about.

No side effects other than saying Unlocked and the padlock Icon after removing ATT apps upon booting up.
this might work for unrooting. If you still have root, just use root explorer and delete two files:
1) /system/app/Superuser.apk
2) the second file is su, and it could be in one of three places, depending on how you rooted:
/system/bin/su OR
/system/sbin/su OR
/system/xbin/su
That's it.

Zedomax, this is great, thank you.
After trying it, I seem to be stuck on step 4 -- "Step 4. Connect a micro-USB cable from your Galaxy S4 to your computer, you should see “Allow USB debugging” window pop-up on your phone, hit “OK”."
I'm not seeing "Allow USB debugging" window pop up on my phone. Is there a way to force this or am I missing something? The instructions seem pretty straight forward.
Thanks.

Make sure usb debugging is enabled and make sure you install the ueb drivers from the samsung website. Had the same problem and the drivers were the cause.

Thanks Bender, appreciate your pointer. I've made sure of the usb debugging mode (is on) and have now downloaded the usb drivers from several sources including the last at samsung site. Unfortunately, I am still not getting “Allow USB debugging” window pop-up on your phone.
I never received a pop up asking me to turn on USB Debugging. I enabled the developer options as shown in the video, then went into the options and checked USB Debugging. That was all I had to do to enable it.
Thank you OP for showing how to get to the developer options!

I am not getting "allow USB debugging" window to pop up on my phone either.
I'm showing the phone on the computer.
I tried 'camera mode' in debugging instead of media device. I had some errors in drivers, got it all back to where computer sees phone and no yellow exclamation point in "Computer Device Manager", and fiddled around quite a bit and still no window popping up on phone like in video.
What am I missing?

I figured out my problem. Me. And the 'puter I was using is wonky and (I am) very noob. It worked on another machine as you said (in the updated instruction) and the message popped when I ran the motochopper.

Our bootloader is highly encrypted and will not be unlocked (unless it's from Moto). RSD is a program by Moto to flash roms (and signed kernels) using fastboot

To the OP, just a note, you can't run AOSP or AOKP roms right now (CM7 or KANG), I noticed that was what you were after in your OP. Sadly with the bootloader that we have it is just not something we can do.
However there are plenty of great ROMs in dev section that do work very nicely on this phone.

Take a look in the development section. ROMs and what people like and dislike are so personal, that what I might like, you might not. There are a ton of great ROMs for this phone over there.
I have run all of them, and I go back to Lithium a lot, becuase it has peices and parts from AOSP in it. Again though take a look at all of them and the pictures that are posted of the ROMs and read the descriptions very well, as well as read through some of the posts, people in there will tell you more than you might want to know about bugs and such in the ROMs that might give you a better idea, of what will work for you.

For installing ROMs you need to choose "Install zip from sdcard" - or "Restore" depending on which ROM... Wait, what are you trying to do? Do you have the A2 Bootstrap installed?
Ok so do you have the bootstrap apk installed? You need that to boot into cwm.

it would be much easier if you used a PC, but if you don't have access to one then try this:
*Edited instructions so that you won't have to use ROM Manager and have them all in one single post*
1) Root your device with this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
2) Install 3e modded recovery as shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y09p-J_g_Rg
-just copy recovery file to /bin using Solid Explorer or ES File Explorer (both free).. skip the ROM Manager part.
3) Install cwm by using method 1 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881
from this point, you should be ready to flash custom roms through recovery. I would recommend jumping from versions one at a time (froyo -> GB -> ICS) just to avoid any errors.
Be aware that flashing ICS will leave you with a rainbow recovery since you won't have gingerbread bootloaders, which can only be flashed from download mode.
Hope I was able to help you! PM if you have any doubts
I advise to look at the Super ISET page by our own bigjoe as opposed to using ROM Manager. This is due to the fact that ROM manager bricks infuses a lot.
Just for safety's sake? :$

I don't like ROM Manager at all, but since he does not have access to a PC I figured that would be his only option..

uumm.. ok i undertood everything, but im stuck tryin to paste the recovery to the bin file cuz it says error when i used the solid explorer but when i tried with root explorer n it says that i cant do it cuz my phone aint rooted... thats where i get confused cuz thats the hole purpose!! :/ what should i do now??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Did you already do step 1? There's where you root your phone. Without root you don't have write access to /bin which explains the error when you try to paste.
Edit: be sure to follow the instructions on my 1st post (post #2 of this thread). I edited those to guide you through complete process to acquire root & cwm without using Rom Manager

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
That's bad news :/ well that means you are gonna need to find a Pc to root it and then you can move on with the rest.
If you do get access to a Pc, consider using Odin which would allow you to jump to a GB + rooted + cwm + gb bootloaders all in one flash.. that would save you some time and get rid of rainbows if you move on to ICS

Lol - well doesn't that figure... I switched over to SuperSU to avoid those things, but it seems it is not impervious to issues either. Is anyone else having root issues? Is there any pattern to it that can be noticed (i.e. what was done leading up to when you noticed root issues were occuring)? What apps are having issues? To anyone having an issue (and that has terminal emulator installed or is adb-capable) would you mind telling me what the output of the following command is?
ls -l /system/xbin/su
If running adb to get this, make sure usb debugging is enabled and add an adb shell to the beginning of the above line, making it
adb shell ls -l /system/xbin/su
I have yet to experience root issues, but really it's my wife's phone and she rarely does anything requiring root privileges.

Superuser won't upgrade? How were you trying to upgrade? Apologies if I am misinterpreting what you are saying here, but I didn't realize there was an update for it - to me it looks like v0.96 is the most recent version, and that's what was included in the rom. Have you tried wiping app data for superuser? I didn't encounter any issues, but I data wiped before flashing the newest tweaked iteration - so since that worked for me my gut says wiping data in superuser should do the trick.
when i open su it says there is a binary update available and the only option is to cancel or update, cancel closes su, and update takes about a minute, then you get a message that update failed and su stays open, but it fc's when you try to select any of its menus...

I running the rom and have all of apps restored. Any apps that required SU rights were granted permission, pop up box appeared asking if I wanted to grant or deny these rights.

my only issue is within that app. new apps are granted root without prompt...
i only checked because of someone pointing out a su issue...
ive been using tweaked an my dd for a long time now and i love it.. i might try a clean wipe install but it works fine for me as it is... just trying to help out.

when i open su it says there is a binary update available and the only option is to cancel or update, cancel closes su, and update takes about a minute, then you get a message that update failed and su stays open, but it fc's when you try to select any of its menus...
play store shows an upate for super user but it has the same results

the ls -l /system/xbin/su errors with no such file or directory, browsing thru es file explorer shows that there is no su in the xbil folder... the apps that want su privilege still have it, just the notification isnt there, and the su app dont work.
clearing app data didnt fix... everything else works beautifully.

Wow - that is odd. There most definitely should be an su file in /system/xbin. What about ls -l /system/bin/su? I'm beginning to think a data wipe will be needed... mostly stemming from the fact that 1.0d used Superuser/su and 1.5 uses SuperSu.
that gives this:
-rwsr-sr-x root system 22364 2012-09-11 06:31 su

Also, why does it say I have a galaxy nexus in my settings. I have a s3. Ha.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Did you change the build.prop or use the wallet installer.apk to get Google wallet working? That tricks your phone into thinking it's a nexus so wallet will work.
I have the same nfc problem. Ruining AOKP. Don't know how to fix it. Let me know if you figure it out.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
It was wallet. Have you tried changing the build.prop? I didn't try doing that yet. But my NFC works on beta2 on liquidsmooth. Noticed in ROM manager when I was trying to upgrade recovery it said my version was a nexus also. Lol. New to android so I had to switch ROMs so it said I have a s3 in about phone then upgrade clockward recovery mod ..

Nandroid backup, flash a TW rom, enable NFC and leave it on, restore your Nandroid. See if this helps.

The thing is, if you read the very first thread in the link that ddurandSGS3 posted, the OP started the same post already and folks offered help there too. He could have just revived that thread. I posted help there too although I wasn't aware he responded again until just reading ddurandSGS3's post.

Oh no I totally understand. I'm just saying no one ever actually searches. They just start these threads about questions that have been answered 100 times and clutter up the threads. Just like in ROM sections. People all post the same things without reading.

Possible NFC fix
Here is a link to a zip that you have to flash. A friend gave it to me to fix my nfc issue and it worked beautifully, he also used is and it fixed his nfc issue.
http://www.4shared.com/zip/WMZoQj_P/LS_nfc_fix.html
I take no responsibility for any negative repercussions that may occur due to you flashing this zip.
Hope this helps
Happy flashing from the cat.
Who created this file and what's it do to fix NFC? I switched to liquidsmooth beta2 and it works now.

You just answered your whole problem. Could have saved us a lot of time. If gonna jump around on ASOP based roms **** gonna be broke.
I'm rather paranoid about the secure element and potentially frying it when switching ROMs. I always reset Google Wallet and clear data before I flash in a new /system or do a factory reset.
Possible NFC fix
The zip was downloaded from a thread in the verizon general QA section. Not sure if I could find the thread because it was a friend who directed me to the zip. Also I'm not certain what is does to fix NFC I just know that after flashing it wallet was working for me.

Ive had wallet working on over ten roms. Ive Never reset wallet or broke anything. I don't see the reason or need to

change to stock and i think it will work
This problem was resolved. It was liquidsmooth rc9 that was making my NFC not work. Switched to a different ROM and it worked. About to switch to rc9 and try the file in the post that a member posted in this thread though. Ls beta2 sucks!
sent from my iPhone. lol
There was no ROM for the new update so I tried my hand at it. It's rooted and has busybox.

When flashing it takes a while at formatting so don't freak out. Make sure to wipe Dalvik and Cache after you flash.
Not responsible for anything! Use at your own risk!
NO REQUESTS! I'M NOT GOING TO DEODEX, DEBLOAT, OR INVERT APPS, ETC... PLEASE DON'T ASK
Pay no mind to icons, there are ones I made for myself, the ROM is stock.

Use chrome. Toggle desktop mode in settings and down. After mega downloads it give mega a couple mins to convert into zip.
Profit..

I was doing this from my desktop PC, originally with IE and was told I was outdated. So, I tried Chrome, was told I was outdated (IE was intentionally outdated as I do not like subsequent versions, but Chrome is up to date).
Each option required updating, and when I hovered over one of the suggested browsers, "download" appeared, and when clicked, I was brought to the browsers' update pages.
I saw no "close" to choose (unless you were talking about mobile version), and closing a PC browser's window did not result in the start of a download.
There is not anything (that I can think of, at the moment), that is worth going through hoops for. I still have my Tytung ROM-based HTC HD2, now at 4.4.2 if I need an fix update. I can wait on the G2, as I am pretty pleased with it (D80110c) out of the box, after rooting it. Will wait for LG's KitKat, as I am, so far, underwhelmed by existing KitKat releases so far.
It could be that LG simply did a great job on their own...
It isn't booting :/ clean install of course. Newest TWRP. Boots right back into TWRP

is this update not coming via OTA if you're rooted??
Is it only for store-bought black G2s? I ordered my white one from T-Mobile over the phone.
my software info is currently
android 4.2.2
baseband M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190034
kernel 3.4.0
build JDQ39B
software D80110c
I have TWRP custom recovery installed also, did that possibly prevent me from receiving an OTA update?

You're right, it doesn't boot at all. Goes straight back to TWRP everytime. Clean install here too. System, data, and cache wipe.
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk
Try wiping data only after the install.
And to answer the other guys question, this isnt a OTA, its a release that LG did via the update tool. Kind of like what Samsung did with the tmobile s2 and 4.1.

Sorry yes... I did say I was using Firefox.
It pops up to install the "Mega Firefox extension"... I clicked close and the DL went on without issue.
After the DL reached 100%, the norm save file window popped up to save where I'll like.

Doesn't sound like hoops to me (I have Firefox, too). Worth a try, I suppose, but I might choose to wait anyway, what, with all the posts about not getting beyond TWRP. Thanks, fishman.
Booted fine for me, restore your backup and flash over but do not wipe system/data, only Dalvik/cache.
I'll mirror this somewhere for people having issues...
