Thx. On xda -you read more you know less. If u have any simple quetions - u can hear ans like yours :( Im glad that you are so good in it but I,m not and I dont want to be. I just need to know those fiew things before I root my phone. About locked bootloader i guess its only in op brands phones. But other questions are still without clear answer.

if i had known that im bootloader locked after trying 4.3 i would have stuck with stock, need my root access back to get rid of this backwards google rom. surely a fix is just around the corner.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] JustSueMe:
With your triangle away app and root on 4.3, flash counter no longer resets.

Press reset counter.

Apps no longer open, icon just highlights or just open and never load.

Mobile signal crashes and shows no service.

Then screen freezes and buttons dont work.

Until finally the phone powers down.

Powering the phone back on was fine and everything works fine again.

Flash counter didn't go back to 0. Its on 3.

in stock recovery:robably no

Hi,

I just got my Galaxy S4 i9505 with XXUBMF5 and I wanted to ask if I have to do anything before I can root, like unlocking or something and also do I have to check F. Reset Time too in Odin or should I leave it unchecked?

No unlocking is not needed.

Just load odin and leave everything as is.

Just check (like said in tut) if repartition is not checked..

I found maybe a strange thing for this. I tried the adbd application from chainfire, but when i check the options of the software it was saying me that usb debugging is disabled while in my real options it's enabled. After few times, i retried starting adbd insecure and it reasked me the supersu access and now usb debugging is good. Maybe a problem of time reaction for supersu? (i have the same problem of time reaction of supersu access for ParagonNtfs software,which is crashing and must wait before sending a crash report...)

I still didn't found why the device status in the about section is always to custom when allwhere else it's marked official...maybe a bad update with the forget to untick the workaround option?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] GravuTrad:
I retried after the adbd insecure patch to use the system modified workaround of triangle away, and it seems to have worked now, the device status is well set on official even in the about state. (i don't know if it's related)

Only a time reaction problem for supersu now...(maybe to put in the supersu post in xda developers forum if exists...)

For some reason mine installs superuser and not supersu ?

I can get this to work for the love of me, been tinkering for hours ..

it is an unlocked i9505 (dutch) .. i managed to put on CWM recovery and the Odin patching goes PASS too .. I got it to work once when i installed supersu manually from the market, and superuser granted it root permissions .. then it rebooted and no more root ..

[edit]

So like, 10 seconds after posting this I decided to re-run Odin again and now magically my superuser has been replaced by supersu .. and its actually working .. this has been driving me bonkers for 5 hours now lol

It took like 10 minutes to root my Sensation and Desire when they were released.

now to purge all the bloatware :D

Can't root (get Red Fail using Odin)

Ok, I've had my phone since the first week of May and have tried multiple PC's (XP and W7) to no avail to get root. I have the latest drivers installed because when my OEM cable is plugged into my S4, it brings it up in Windows Explorer. I bring up the phone in download mode, plug in the cable and press up. I think execute Odin, but still get the Red Fail. I've had one or two give explanations on how to get it to work, but nothings working so far. I would love to root my phone. Can someone please help? Or are others who are having problems finally getting a working solution? I've searched and searched and it seems like no one has problems with obtaining root after solutions are posted.

Root OTA question

Hi all,

I want to root my GS4 (i9505) so i can get back my large collection of apps from a titanium backup from my old phone.

Question: If i simply root the stock software and don't install custom recovery etc can i still get official OTA updates from my carrier?

I need OTA as in a few weeks my carrier is rolling out the update to allow Apps2SD etc which i need.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] andreasy:
I've read most part of this threat but I still don't understand why CF recommends not installing custom recovery and using stock instead. I must be missing something but my perception so far was that unless you have a custom recovery you can't install custom ROMs, kernels, flashable zips, etc. so why CF says "Never again" for CWM? I see that PhilZ recovery is already available so my question now is why use stock and not PhilZ? and will I be able to do any customizations with stock?

Sorry but I either must have understood something wrong or missed some important info.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jozef710i:
Did you read 1st post?

Why isn't this just called CF-Root

The traditional CF-Root's included a custom recovery (CWM, TWRP, etc) and were meant for devices that had a single kernel/recovery combination. CF-Auto-Root doesn't include a custom recovery and is meant for devices that have kernel and recovery separate (so you can manually install any custom recovery you wish). The Auto part comes from the fact that a large part of the process is automated (though it constantly needs adjusting)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] cambr1an:
I used this method to root stock ROM, reset flash counter with Triangle Away and stayed with stock. If a firmware update becomes available and I want to update OTA, all I have to do is do Full unroot via SuperSU and after the update re-root via Odin, is that correct? Thank you! :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] andreasy:
Yes I have and that's the part I haven't understood but anyway it must be me and maybe the way I try to understand, maybe wrong. In my older devices I could still install recovery and kernel separately. So how is this different from S3 was the way I was thinking.

Thanks anyway.
