Help Root on S4 Active no longer working due to OTA update

[traugdor]

Brothers, I know we all love our phones, but the most recent OTA update has not only unroofed my phone, but the only root process that worked (towel root) says my previously rooted device is now unsupported.

I'm afraid you might not see me using my S4A much longer. Any tips to get root back?

the BEST & simplest root for most samsung phones - chainfire autoroot. flash it via ODIN.
0. BACK-UP ur device using ur favourite pc software for android managing, or android app etc
1. cf-auto-root for your s4 active - I9295
2. ODIN 3.09
3. samsung usb drivers
4. guide (don't worry it's the same for ur model)

towel is better for LG IMHO

I'm glad I didn't update it then.

This works perfectly for those with latest OTA update: http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2014/09/To...4-S5-and-Note3-Android-4.4.2-NF-or-Later.html
