Nope, tried it twice and after holding all those buttons for a few seconds the phone vibrates, then the normal intro screen comes up for a couple of seconds, then it goes blank. Held the buttons for about a minute but nothing else happened, so I let go and another few seconds later the phone started normally.

Did that twice in a row.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] zincsnow:
1. turn off phone

2. hold vol down + power button + home button until phone turns on into download mode. dont let go as soon as device vibrates.

maybe that'll help
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] starbucks2010:
Once you get the Samsung logo on the screen, release ONLY the power button keeping the vol down and Home pressed until you get into download mode.

Samsung S4 Vodafone (Portugal)

Hi to all, I need some help with my phone. It's a Samsung S4 GT-i9505 carrier locked (Vodafone - Portugal), is it possible to root?

Base Band: I9505XXUAMDC

Build number: JDQ39.I9505XXUAMDC

In Kies the firmware is:

PDA: MDC

Phone: MDC

CSC: MDA (TCL)

If is possible to root, I have read the previous post and I think I have to use CF-Auto-Root. But then is needed to use Odin to instal the I9505-Stock-Recovery.tar.rar, to the Status go back to OFFICIAL (does this work wyth my phone?) and then is needed to use triangle away to set the counter back to zero. Is this right?

Or I use this method: [HOW TO-ROOT&UNLOCK] OTA&KIES Updates+OFFICIAL Status+ XXUAME2 ROOTED [GT-I9505]??

In case of problems how do I restore or install backup in phone?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, just use titanium backup if you're already rooted, if not, use KIES on your computer and backup everything and when restoring, just select what you want to restore. I hope that helps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] StuartTheFish:
What's regarded as international? I'm in the uk and it worked perfectly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Alpine-:
His post is confusing. He says its for international only, which I assume to be the non Snapdragon model (I9500). But then he cites model I9505, the Snapdragon. lol. I have no idea. See his post here.

Of course I'm sure, it had the 3 bootanimation when I first got it, and it then changed to the normal Samsung bootanimation after I flashed XXUAMDN. I then got root access using djembey's modified cf-auto root and reset the counter via triangle away.

Hi all,

Is this auto root.tar from op suitable for my fw:

I9505XXUAME2?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] lucus_d:
Helo, can anybody explain me something?

I bought my S4 from a Vodafone shop, because was from the first sets of this kind of phone it wasn’t blocked in network, so I can use it with any network I want.

I try to root this phone but did’t work anything, then I changed the rom I put the latest south European rom xxuame2, won’t work any rooting method.

Then I use the CF Modified rooting method and it works but with that “Detection Information” error, I delete the files that was specified in the post #308 and I don’t have anymore that error, now can anybody explain me why I can’t root my phone with the easy method? Or what must I do to work with this method (the easy one)?

My phone in download mode has that Security Mode-Enable (last line)

One strange thing is that when I try to put it in download mode or CWM, if it press the vol down+home+power buttons it doesn’t do anything at all(seams that it resetting continuously) , if I release the power button and home and I still press the vol down button than it works

HLP pls!!!

Its because the latest Kernel's have some sort of restriction that doesn't allow root, so the modified one gives you an older kernel.

However I believe some XDA dev has recently found a workaround for this in the latest kernels. the thread was new when I checked it but seemed promising trying to find the link now will edit it in shortly.

I have a doubt, in México the carrier telcel will sell the S IV i337, a Qualcom based device with LTE, which is the dfference between this device and the GT9505?? i think is the same, but some mexican "android gurus" like [MENTION=3663208]androidM[/MENTION]x give some comments related to i337 can´t be rooted.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Cosmic Blue:
If it is a galaxy IV or variant made by samsung, it can be rooted but the carrier does not want anyone to remove their bloatware, so they say it can not be rooted.

But it could be a knock off of the galaxy SIV, these types of phones cannot be rooted properly because the software they use is not the standard that samsung uses.

Engineering (pre-release) firmwares probably have enabled following features in kernel:

# Overriding the rooting prevention feature as disable on ENG build

# CONFIG_SEC_RESTRICT_ROOTING is not set

# CONFIG_SEC_RESTRICT_SETUID is not set

# CONFIG_SEC_RESTRICT_FORK is not set

# CONFIG_SEC_RESTRICT_ROOTING_LOG is not set

this explains why it was hard to root earlier firmwares.

Flash cfroot with odin then reboot device then flash provided recovery via odin then reboot.

Fact is though, its pointless, unless you send it back to store. OTA wont work, even if you try to keep it official status ota will detect modifications and set it to custom and reflash recovery doesnt reset it to official again.

Just download the update yourself, flash via Odin and use triangle away again, simple.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] JustSueMe:
Yeah, but having custom status doesn't cause issues, having flash counter above 1 doesn't matter, its just for Samsung to see of you modified [if u send it back]

So if i use cf-root and revert back to official and 0 flash counter, ota still detects root.

Therefore pointless, just get triangle away for donation purposes and as u say download the update and flash via odin instead.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chainfire:
I updated the CF-Auto-Root file for the I9505 (link has stayed the same, see first post), including the new SuperSU. This should just work without any strange workarounds (like Supercurio's StupidSU, or deleting KNOX, or whatnot). At least, it seems to work for me, and I'm on stock MDN firmware (including stock kernel and recovery). I have not seen any SELinux/SEAndroid popups or any of that yet.

I imagine if you have used any of the other fixes, you may still experience issues with this new CF-Auto-Root unless you flash back the correct stock kernel (if you've changed it) and/or system partition (apply CFAR *afterwards*).

Let me know if there's any issues. I've had the SGS4 for a few weeks, but I've gone on vacation as soon as I got it, and only started playing with it yesterday, so I may have overlooked something.

Please don't announce this anywhere else, I'm waiting for the I9500 version to be working properly before announcing it everywhere :)
