Can an Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 (SCH-I545, Android 5.0.1) be rooted?

A

AC Question

I want to root my S4 to be able to get rid of the pre-installed crap on my phone. I am using Kingo Root, it gets to 63% and then the phone reboots, and when it comes back the Kingo Root app on my computer says root failed. What could be happening?

Phone is a Galaxy S4, Android 5.0.1, Kernel 3.4.0. Knox is 2.3. Please help?

Welcome.

I recommend our Samsung Galaxy S4 Rooting, ROMs & Hacks forum. You'll have to register in order to post there, but that's good. :)

Steer clear from one click rooting. Please take the time to learn about the process of rooting and flashing before you jump in knees deep. Read around on the forums and even check out some YouTube videos.
