triangle away 3.05

I sorry ,one question plz, triangle away 3.05 work ? reset binary counter set to "0" in MH8 rom, with new bootloader? i need to know plz, i have my binary counter set to "3", thanx
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jimmykar:
i try right now with the mh5 firmware..

yes it reset the counter to 0
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] PeterParker:
ok, but my question is mh8, coz have a new bootloader..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Biemchen25:
MH5 and MH8 have the new bootloader! I think the are no different between these ROMs. Same changelog! But I never root my s4 since the new bootloader is out.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] InvisibleBow:
Okay, so I rooted using this method and then I unrooted using the SuperSU app. Now, can I re-root using cf autoroot again or will it mess things up?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] johnbeurer:
No root :(

Hi!

I've upgraded to a new firmware called XXUDMHA - PAN (I've got a European/Hungarian i9505 4.2.2)

Now I can't use CF-Auto-Root/SuperSU... it says it passes in ODIN and then when I try to start SuperSU - it quits and suggests me to reboot my phone (oddly tho, it allows me to set permissions in apps but they won't work...).

I've tried to re-root, also tried downloading play store SuperSU, Mobile terminal knox thingy, Root Explorer All failed (due to lack of permission...)

My SELinux is in enforcing mode (couln't set that either...)

Thanks for the help :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] svenk:
Is your Wifi working? I mean, can you turn it on at all?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] johnbeurer:
Yeah, no problem at all... oh and I also have LTE now...

there is one more interesting thing... i did a factory/reset + cache reset in the samsung recovery mode... not i have root access working normally... :confused: well at least it is working...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] svenk:
I am wondering because I never got Wifi working after upgrading to anything newer than MF8. I am now on MH5 and I had to flash Adam Kernel 1.6 to get it work (but now I have some strange charging USB problem).

I would really like to sort this out. I was on CF-AUTO-ROOTed MF8 with everything working, incl. Wifi. Then I upgraded via Kies without full unroot before, and from then on Wifi was broken. I re-rooted with CF-AR and got the same problems as you, but no Wifi...

Was your phone rooted before you did install the new firmware?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] johnbeurer:
It seems doing a factory reset+cache reset after CF-AUTO-ROOT is a solution for the root not working...

Well after the reset the settings welcome screen greets me and it allows me to choose a wifi network as usual... so i had no problems with wifi.

I have only got a NTFS mounting problem...currently StickMount is not working... (terminal says /mnt/ is read only even after SU permissions...)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] svenk:
I had this problem twice: some weeks ago I upgraded from MF8 to the older MGA, same problem with Wifi and Root. I did everything, incl. factory reset, and nothing worked. So I re-installed MF8 via Odin and build my environment from scratch. I just recently learned that I did not get rid of the new bootloader, though, but that seems normal.

The phone worked well afterwards again for several weeks, but now I decided to try again and upgraded to MH5. I do not want to do a factory reset again, so I installed Adam Kernel...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] johnbeurer:
I see... well yeah the new bootloader is apparently not downgradeable! :(

I like my system fresh whenever I'm updating a frimware and not bringing anything from the older firmwares (on iOS i always had to do this and now I kinda grew this habit...)

Btw i don't really know which XXUDMHA is (is it an MH6/8 alternative?)

Hello Guys, From the thread i understand that this :confused:just pushing root files to device, and no custom kernel, hence after rooting by this method, the system will be just stock, with additional root access and no other system changes. Is my understanding correct ? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] PearLRoX:
Can someone tell me clearly why its bad to root i9505 with MH8 bootloader?

I upgraded to stock MH8 firmware and afther that i root it, flash wanamLite MGA on it.. and i got no problems?

Phone, wifi, ..is smooth and great batterylife life..

One thing is weird.. on 1 place (work area) i lost completely my signal on wcdma.. with false signal bars..

so i always need to switch to 'gsm only' to have my signal back. .hate it!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mkhant30:
Hi,

Anyone could tell me that I can use this root methon on I9505XXUDMH6 f/w? As "SELinux status" is snowing as "Enforcing".

Thanks in advance and appreciate for kind advice.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] merin_83:
Hello Guys, I tried this yesterday with bit of hesitation, as i saw WRITE PROTECT ENABLED in recovery, and after going thru post, some worked and some dint, i just followed on advice seen in many threads "use the provided USB cable and not any other" and it worked in 1st try.

thanks a lot to chainfire :good:

I have tried to install this a few times... (I have NH8) and is not working... I installed ROOT check and it says that the phone is rooted, I installed also a custom recovery and tried to install a custom rom... it doesn't let me to install anything :( For the moment I'm back to factory/stock rom, but I really want to get rid of all the bloatware... I had a Galaxy S2 and nexus 4 before and had no problems with rooting! Any ideas? Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kewinh0727:
maybe this is a dumb question but...

havent read alot about this topic but.. but i believe that i9505 and i9505G has the same specs... is it possible to flash i9505G stock google edition rom to the i9505?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chickentuna:
Yes. Go to the development section and download the stock google edition rom you want. By flashing it you will also get notified of OTA updates but you cannot apply them.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kewinh0727:
if i flash this cf root ON STOCK ROM and after that if i do a factory reset within the phone and not the stock sammy cwm will my phone still be rooted ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tyxerakias:
Correction, there's no such thing as "stock sammy cwm", cwm is not stock. But assuming you mean the stock android recovery, doing a factory reset from there is the exact same thing as doing it from the phone's setting menu. And doing either will not unroot your phone. It will still be rooted after a factory reset.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] riccardoroma:
hello guys i've just got an s4 with i9505xxubmga jdq39. Can i use this autoroot ? jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5 ?

and then which rom to install ? i want to stay as close as i can to the original room, just with root and without knoxx.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] merin_83:
I guess u coluld aslong as you are using the correct model and unlocked version... if you want to stay near stock .. just root it and dont install a new rom...thats how I use.. and just installed cwm recovery
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] BurlaMatto:
A question: i'm on MGA firmware and i'm rooted; do i need to hard-reset my phone in order to upgrade to newer firmware without flag to 0x1 the knox bit? Or i'll lost root by upgrading the firmware through odin/kies?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] degman:
Stay on MGA, if you update with Odin to new firmwares you will loose root and your bootloader will update with knox. And if you root new firmware, your knox counter will show this. And Triangle Away can't reset yet flash counter....

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] romeo57:
Damn. I'm afraid if people say this.

I've updated the firmware, and at the SELinux status showed "Enforcing", instead of "Permissive".

I haven't root my phone yet though, was just thinking about it today. :mad:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] PearLRoX:
I have rooted my phone.. (MH8) no problems here buddy ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] romeo57:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] degman:
You can't flash previous firmware with Odin! Only newest with locked bootloader.

cannot seem to reset my flash counter after installing stock MH8, after running triangle away v3.0 I receive the same error message each time - cannot find counter data... and after reboot my root is gone, and SU also disappears...

Any ideas on how to reset the flash counter now?

And is it really impossible to return to previous firmware's once I have upgraded to MH8?

After using v3.05 I managed to reset my counter but device status remains custom even though I am running stock kernel and firmware... and reason for this to occur?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mkhant30:
Hi Adrian3, just rooted a couple of days ago using 09.01 release. Root is working. All other root access needed apps are working fine except "Link2sd cannot gain root access". I do not know why Triangle away granted SU message pop up on & off. Btw, where can I find knox?

Hey!

Anyone who has a problem with TB, MH8, Enforcing SElinux... there is a solution to that...

Install Adam kernel 1.6

Download:

http://server01.xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Wanamlite%2FGS4-LTE-I9505%2FKernel%2F1.6

(install the one which DOES NOT say knox free2 because thats for older non knox kernels)

I used Mobile odin instead of CWM and it works just fine...

This way "SELinux status" is going to be "Permissive" again instead of "Enforcing".

Stickmount still won't work tho :( It says it mounts the NTFS pendrive. I can see "usbstorage" inside my file manager but it just has an empty "sda1" folder. (My usb drive has files in it.

but at least its not saying: "could not write to /system directory (mount: Device or resource busy)" anymore... but still not working... Any solution for that?

Cheers! :victory:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sarbe:
Did you use Mobile Odin on MH8 as Chainfire said it is dangerous to do so. I wouldn't advise anyone to use Mobile Odin on latest firmwares until Chainfire says it's safe to.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] johnbeurer:
Well yeah... I don't have MH8, but a variant... MHA (Hungarian firmware), so KNOX security and such... but apart from odin you can always use CWM...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sarbe:
The top of your post mentions MH8 that's why I ask as some people less versed may try Mobile Odin on latest firmwares and brick the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] johnbeurer:
Yeah I get it :)

I only wanted to let everybody know that ppl reported that TB works with MH8 + Adam Kernel... and they used CWM!

So if Mobile odin is dangereous the we shouldn't use it i give you that, but apart from that it works! :)

Just letting you know what Chainfire wrote on his G+, no TA and no MO on newer firmwares. I'll follow his instructions.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mankvl:
I'am new at ROOT so I decided to ask some questions first before rooting my S4.

1. Is CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip is working with International (I think) I9505XXUDMH8 firmware where SELinux is Enforcing.

2. Will TA remove flash count?

3. What is the best way to unroot my phone? (if i need to take it to warranty) SuperSU? With the "Temporary unroot" feature or smth else?

4. If something goes wrong and Odin fails to flash will I be able to fix my S4 with Samsung Kies?

5. When the OTA of 4.3 update comes will I be able to upgrade to it? Will I lose ROOT?

6. Witch Odin to use when rooting? Odin3 v3.07 or Odin3-v1.85

Thx in advance to all who will help ;) peace!

So i just run odin and connect phone and and root and i don't have to install Samsung usb drivers
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] timberwolf60:
1) cf auto root will root your phone with knox counter triggered and no way to reset at the moment. This also void the warranty.

2) TA will not worked on newer firmware started since sept 13. Can't reset counter.

3) your knox couter was changed to 01 once rooted and no more warranty, in principle even your phone fully unroot also can't had warranty claim.

4, 5 and 6) I don't know about it.

One more point your will not abled to downgrade to older firmware like i9505xxubmga which had old bootloader. By doing it also triggered the knox counter. Correct me if I am wrong. This thread fir you reading pleasure: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2470635

Hi guys, I'm running MH6 (with Knox), and yes, I attempted to root but the process failed and resulted in boot, stucked at firmware error.

However, I flashed a PIT file via ODIN and was able to startup my stock OS once again.

But now, I can't do a factory reset because CF Auto Root will run at startup (Red Android logo) and Knox blocks it immediately.

My phone then resumes the default Samsung boot and runs back the OS without resetting it.

Appreciate all the advice I can get.

This whole Knox thing has frustrated me tremendously as I was excited to get an S4 finally. But now, it'll probably be my last Samsung phone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bodoma:
Oh, I realized what the problem was. I have a fix for you anyway, but first try letting go of the power key when the phone boots up, but keep pressing the volume down + menu key for a few more seconds. It should work. Unlike the S3, the S4 apparently needs the keys to be pressed for a longer time. If that doesn't work, let me know.
