Hello Dear

Yesterday, I updated to the new version two German I9505XXUGNE5

By OTA and you've installed your root by CF-Auto-Root your root and works successfully

But there is the problem of automatic restart for a full day more than 15 times and this is very annoying

Now, you refer to the previous version and I9505XXUFNB've installed CF-Auto-Root

The device now works successfully with your root so I hope to fix this problem
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Hyena:
I have the same problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] dimkit:
I am facing the same problem random reboots. So this is a cf root problem?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Hyena:
I'm not sure because also tried with no root and the situation was the same. Nor the factory reset help...

Maybe the cf root not compatible with the Knox 2.

I think this rom only works well in official state phones or something like this...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] henrik.dk:
try to flash omega custom rom to see whether you still have this problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] insan.waq3y:
I have a low download speed and I can not load a custom ROM to wait so that the problem is fixed and I think that your root is not compatible with the new version because of the new knox [emoji17]
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Indha Lezzio:
If you have random reboots with the new german rom try deleting all knox apps with TB. After this i have no reboots
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] insan.waq3y:
Thank you for your response

But what is this TB ? :o
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Indha Lezzio:
Titanium Backup. It's one of the most used app for backuping purpose!!!

And don't be shy!!! Although there are few xxxxxxx people as everywhere, we are here lo learn!!!:highfive:

Guys I have flashed the I9505XXUGNE5 CF Autoroot but although the process looks like it went well (red android recovery with text saying that device is being rooted etc.) when the device actually boots, there is NO root access.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] VogonP0et:
It does happen sometimes. Try installing Chainfire's SuperSU from the Play Store once the phone is running.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] masammut:
Perfect! Worked straight away! feeling really stupid now :(

Thanks VogonP0et

Knox 2 bring more apk that need to be deleted in order to avoid random reboots. You can find this guide very usefull http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47177193&postcount=1 (at least i did, no more random reboot).

It' would be nice if supersu disable all of them at the first use :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Hyena:
Dear Chainfire,

Please update your cf root, it seems it causing random reboots with the latest xxugne5 rooms!

Thanks for your hard work....

Hi i'm trying to root my friends phone and i'm unsure whether his build number is compatible with this cf-auto-root. It's a new release phone feb 2014 is there any way for me to install twrp before i try this as i would prefer to backup before risking anything.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Stefan0vic:
It should work perfectly fine as I'm on an older bootloader than that and it worked for me

After I uninstall all of Knox crap the problem solved. (it's not enough to freeze them, you should uninstall with titanium backup or similar)

Hi Guys,

I have brand new s4 with current version XXUBMGA

I am prompted to update the firmware but I'd like to root.....- should I use this method first or update and then root? Does the root makes the update not installable or the OTA will be installed with and the root will be retained?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] NIK3SH:
Once you're rooted,

You won't be able to use OTA.

So it's recommended to update your device first, clean cache and CF ROOT it...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] miloytyn:
You still have old bootloader so if you don't want Knox, you shouldn't update with OTA.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Kappa Lamda:
I've decided to move to the new bootloader. I am going make a hard reset and flash first a Samsung stock firmware. The XXUGNE8. The latest.

So I am thinking these steps.

1) Odin flash stock firmware(downloaded rom sammobile)

2) CF-autoroot with Odin(I know i will trigger knox)

3) Remove with TB Knox 2 apps

and then odin flash recovery to flash any custom rom I want. Am I right? Will cf-autoroot file root the latest firmware? From reading I understand it is compatible, right?

Am I missing any step I should pay attention?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AmirAli44:
Will this Autoroot delete all apps and data? Cause when I rooted my G2 I didn't lose anything. Is there any root than won't reset the phone?

Hi,

After using SGS1 for almost 3 years. I bought The GT-I9505, Baseband version and Build number: I9500XXUEMJ7

It has 4 processors (0 - 3), so i believe it is a Quad-core Qualcom Snapdragon 600.

Bootloader: I337UCUEMK2

OS version: 4.3

I didn't find the firmware

My question is: Can I use CF-Root to root the device?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] NIK3SH:
Yes you can.

But first verify your device model in Settings / About Device / Device Model.

And choose CF Auto Root accordingly.

Best Luck...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] roby5167:
I bought an Unlocked Galaxy S4, OS version: 4.3. It must be a GT-I9505 after I checked that it has 4 processors (0 - 3), - so I believed it was a Quad-core Qualcom Snapdragon 600.

Baseband version and Build number: I9500XXUEMJ7

Bootloader: I337UCUEMK2

According the instructions of Chainfire:

I have Downloaded the latest Samsung USB Drivers and Installed in my PC Laptop, OS Vista.

I have Downloaded and Installed Odin3 version 3.07

I have Downloaded and Extracted CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip into CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5

What is the problem:

Odin recognize my smartphone when I connect it to the Computer. The first ID:COM become yellow and the Message window shows that it added.

I click Start, Odin begun to work and after a few seconds it stuck on the first window of ID:COM with a red background and a Message saying it Failed (because no Recovery).

When I click: Volume Up > Power > HomeI I enter into a Recovery Mode [its name is Android Recovery - the smartphone is from Hong Kong]

I have tried time and again uninstalling and reinstalling everything unsuccessfully.

Sorry, there is no Device Model in "About Device" - you mean Model Number that is: GT-I9500.

The only Galaxy S4 that have 4 processors is the Quad-core Qualcom Snapdragon 600.

The other one has 8 processors!

I was a little bit troubled when I saw the "mismatch" between the Baseband version and Build number (I9500XXUEMJ7) with the fact that the Smartphone has 4 processors that indicate it is a GT-I9505. Do you think I should return the phone (in Hong Kong!) because if it is the 9500 model I would not succeed to root it?

Roby
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] NIK3SH:
Don't get confused with number of processor cores.

If it's showing you your model is 9500 then flash that model CF AUTO ROOT.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] roby5167:
This is what I have done:

I downloaded "CF-Auto-Root-ja3g-ja3gxx-gti9500" from CF Root Download Page:

http://download.chainfire.eu/326/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-ja3g-ja3gxx-gti9500.zip

This is the message I got in Odin:

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> CF-Auto-Root-ja3g-ja3gxx-gti9500.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

<ID:0/004> Added!!

<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/004> Initialzation..

<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/004> recovery.img

<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!

<ID:0/004> FAIL! (Auth)

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

As you can see it doesn't work.

By the way, every time I try to flash the phone I get the following message in my Smartphone:

Security Information

An application has attempted to access system on your device without authorization. This attempt has been blocked...........

I suspect that this is the work of the infamous KNOX! This is a CATCH 22 situation - I cannot delete it without ROOT and I cannot install the ROOT!

I must decide before beginning of July if I begun with the very complicated process to return the device - either to get a refund or ask for a replacement device (

from Hong Kong)

or sell it!

Odin is not capable to carry out the job to flash my device. Without ROOT I am not ready to keep the smartphone! :crying:. If I will not get a solution, I am considering to try to find other ROOT software that didn't use Odin and the Computer!

I hope I will have more luck!

Roby
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] NIK3SH:
KNOX as well nothing can bother in Download mode...

Something else is bothering.

If possible,

Wipe cache and factory reset your device.

Start/boot device once and complete initial configuration process of device,

Reboot to download mode and flash CF AUTO ROOT...

If this failed too, I'm afraid you won't be able to gain root with this method...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] andyjg247:
Also I commonly read that you should use the official cable if you're not.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tunestwo:
Some how this Root broken my phone...

tried to use it with odin, after odin said failed my phone went to this state:

Firmware upgrade encountered an issue . please select recovery mode in kies & try again..

fixed it now..

Should i try it again or?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] NIK3SH:
Yes,

Try it again.

If it fail again then try wiping data and cache from stock recovery and try to boot normally.

If it fails too you'll need to install ROM thru PC Odin.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tunestwo:
But if it fails i softbrick my device...

dont want to do that again tbh...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] NIK3SH:
As per my knowledge,

In current state we don't have any other options.

You must need to wipe data and cache as its seems to be last hope.

If it fails to boot your phone then you should try flashing stock ROM using PC ODIN.

Best Luck....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tunestwo:
Well going to try again than...

Edit, worked.. Ty allot...

now next step custom recovery

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, that is for the 4.3 version of the Optus firmware - which I also successfully did, but Optus only released the 4.4.2 firmware a week or so ago and the CF-Auto-Root doesn't work with this release - neither does installing SuperSU from the market.

CF I have some problems with CF-auto-root.

My firmware is the stock I9505XXUGNG8-DBT and rooted with CF Auto-root.

When I open first time the SupeSU apk, it shows a message like this: " Samsung KNOX has been detected. This might limit root capabilities and cause annoying popups. Try to disable KNOX?"

If I push Ok, than apear a circle that rotates continuous several minutes and nothing happens.

If I restart the phone, open the SU apk and push again ok, than apears a message that KNOX is disabled but now begins problems: bluetooth works bad (connects and disconnects immediately and after the disconnecting don't want to connect again), random reboots some even during phone calls, etc.

Tryed with I9505XXUGNF1-DBT, I9505XXUGNG2-DBT and I9505XXUGNG8-DBT and with all these firmwares, have same problems.

If I didn't try to disable the KNOX and push cancel, the things are ok and everything works like a charm.

Mabe this will help you to find where is the problem.

Random Reboot is the known issue of this firmware.

Its because of system crash events.

You will need to install Xposed Frameworks

Either This

or

This

Regarding your other instability issue,

Cleaning Dalvik / Cache Partition & Freezing all KNOX APK using Titanium Backup should be helpful.

Hi Chainfire,

Since I had Galaxy 2, I used your SuperSU is just amazing.

Each time a new version comes out I quickly upgraded.

The last upgrade to version 2.13 Model i9505 Galaxy 4, I came across a strange phenomenon:

The SuperSU does not give me the option to give root permission to "Android [UID] systam".

He makes me the panel where he introduces me to the question of whether to give root permission to XYZ but will not let me push the buttons.

Other windows with the question of permission for other applications it gives me permission to click and select.

Why is this?

Issues on my CF auto-rooted GT i9505

My firmware is the stock I9505XXUGNG8-DBT and rooted with CF Auto-root.and Phill''s CWM.

1. When I wake up my phone by pushing the home button my first screen is frozen until I push the home button again for 2 or 3 seconds. Only since then I can use my apps.

2. By incomming phone calls my phone reboots and I lose contact, so they have to call me again, Then everything is well.

3.The time on my homescreen doesn''t synchronize until I push the home button for the second time waking up the phone .

I already used SSCF Xposed. That didn''t help.

Somebody the same issues. Or somebody who got some tips for me.

no root permission after CF-Auto-Root - adbd cannot run as root in production builds

"adb root switch" gives me: "adbd cannot run as root in production builds".
