Hi guys,

How can we "remove CF-root" and then upgrade the stock rom and then reflash cf again? Is it as simple as re-flash a stock kernel?

thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] NIK3SH:
Try updating thru kies.

If it fails then download whole firmware from samfirmware, install thru pc odin and run CF ROOT again.

If you use Odin Mobil and EverRoot I think KNOX will stay 0x0. If you later flash custom recovery or other kernel it will trigger KNOX and you will get KNOX 0x1.

So rooted, but not possible to make a NanDroid backup and no return to Android 4.2 firmware :eek:

Don't do that. You can't use Mobile Odin from 4.2.2 to 4.3, even If 4.2.2 is MGG or above (new knox bootloader), it will trigger knox 0x1.

This KNOX counter, I really don't care about it. Unless there is any HW faults (in which Samsung should repair it, no matter if KNOX counter is tripped or not), there is ample of ROMS, custom and stock, in which to choose from. I don't believe any SW tampering could cause any HW faults. Any thoughts about it?

Maybe there are different legal practices in different countries that's leading you to not wanting the KNOX counter tripped?

Did you see the red Android logo during rooting, but SuperSU does not appear? This may sometimes occur due to left-over files and settings, however, you can usually install SuperSU from Google Play at this stage and it'll just work.

Hey guys!

I have a problem:

Last day I've flashed the official stock ROM for my previously rooted i9505 (jfltexx). The stock rom warned me about the ROM update, so I've updated the stock rom (XXUEMK8, but I've attached a screenshot my ROM's details).

As I've experienced the STOCK-FEELING I wanted to change back to my lovely LiquidROM asap. :D So I've flashed first CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505 via ODIN first, but didn't helped. Than I've found this guide and followed step-by-step: http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/11/...d-43-galaxy-s4-lte-i9505-official-firmware/2/

Got the updated (?) CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505 from the guide (which one is for XUEMKK8) and flashed again with ODIN. Everything was fine, rebooted and checked: I dont have any root access. Flashed SuperSU too, but it said: "There is no SU binary installed and Super su cannot isntall it." Just found there is an update on Play Store for the SuperSU, so updated, now it's the same, but I have the following message: "No SU binary is istalled and SuperSU cannot be installed. This is the problem! If I updated to android 4.3, than I have to manualy root and discuss about this in the devices forum".

So, I still don't have neither a Root acces, nor SuperSU. What shall I do? Shall I reflash the stock rom, DONT update it to XXUEMK8 and try to flash CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505 from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip ?

Please help me with any advices, this stock ROM drives me crazy! :D :/ I promiss I'm gonna never unroot my phone again! :D

Thank you again, much appreciate it!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Keczanm:
Thanks for the hint, but still have the problem! :(

First I've tried with Odin 3.185, but now I tried with: 3.07 and 3.09. None of them were successful. :(

I tried with flashing CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5

Root checker still says I dont have root access nor the SuperSU works. :(

BTW I have attached the screenshot of Root Checker and System information.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Keczanm:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
Did you launch superSU? Have you a message?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Keczanm:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
Impossible to launch it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Keczanm:
Well I think the main problem is I can't root the phone. Tried with 4 different Odin already and still don't have a root access. The fact that I can't launch Super SU is just an additional problem that comes from the missing root access.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] franzyroy:
You have tried to update superSU?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Keczanm:
Fixed with this method:

Made a hard reset

Flashed back stock I9505XXUEMJ7_I9505OXXEMJ8_XEH

Hard reset (just for be sure)

Flashed CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar

Flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-jfltexx

Hard reset :p

And flashed SlimBean with SlimGapps.

And it is not containing Busybox but you can use any busybox installer which is working fine.

And regarding its strongness, Root may wipe if you upgrade FW using Kies but you can gain it back using same procedure.

But if you use mobile odin to upgrade firmware then Root privilege will be intact for sure.

There are some emulators available to run exe directly on mac but it will create issues.

Using virtual environment thru Virtualbox or VMWARE is more preferable.....

You can install win xp or Win 7 in that virtual environment and proceed with this CF ROOT normally....

This procedure will trigger knox counter to 0X1 obviously... which can not be reset back to 0X0 (atleast now no way to do so).

I just rooted a brand new Galaxy S4 on i9505xxuemke

Before I encrypted and decrypted several times. Always worked great. Now after root when it should encrypt display shows shortly the green android and then it goes black. Device does not react anymore. After about 1 minute it vibrates and reboots. However I don't have to enter my password to boot. Only to unlock. Now I can go to options and try encrpyting again. Hower same behaviour as before. Any suggestions?

There are no apps installed, no google account and so on. Its factory fresh. I even restored factory settings. Same behaviour.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] SamsungPisser:
Whats that kind of logic? Mainly powerusers want to encrypt their device (average user doesn't even understand encryption) and powerusers also root. So why should encryption be disabled for them?

There are lots of things the manufacturers do that no one understands. .. like KNOX for example... but no... Most "power users" do not bother with encryption...

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] !crazy:
Where did you get this info from? I was using encryption on Galaxy Nexus and S3 i9305, with both, stock rooted, and AOSP based ROM.

The difference is that real AOSP encryption cannot be reversed, but one can access files, and flash ROMs with TWRP recovery.

Samsung's encryption can be reversed, and there is no recovery which supports it.

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

I was having issues with encryption with stock unrooted Samsung devices. And IIRC on both S3 i9305, and Note 3 international, I had had to try couple of times until it succeeded.

Just give it another try, or one more :), and it will hopefully work.
