Just today, my rooted Galaxy S4 was working perfectly. At about 9 AM I downloaded Liveboot (same person who made SuperSU) After downloading and configuring it, I restarted my phone and it worked. Until... after I tried to turn my wifi on. This is where my problems started. I can't start my wifi... it just turns light yellow forever with the menu forever saying "Wifi turning on." I tried to reopen liveboot, to it forever displaying a "loading screen" for which I soon figured out why. In my root explorer, MANY system files are unopenable, stating they were last modified in 1970, some in 1969. This has caused it so all of my root access is gone. It's on the phone but the apps can't access it because the files can't be opened. They display no error message, when I try to open them nothing happens.

I have tried:

Taking battery out
Hard reboot
Restart
Deleting a wifi file in the data folder but I can't open the data folders
Reinstalling root

I do not want to do a factory reset as I believe it will not fix it as others with the wifi problem have said.



TL;DR I downloaded a boot app, wifi is broken and files are too.

I have never flashed and I'm unsure how to do it, I'm quite tech savy but I'm afraid to ruin my phone.
