Where can you check the binary counter? When I go into download mode, I'm getting:

PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9505

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0X0

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0X0

CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0X30

Does this mean my phone and warranty is still OK? I have never flashed any custom ROM'S, but I have flashed a number of stock ROM'S (using Odin) and rooted my phone.

PS: I flashed the latest German 4.3 firmware, but then tried to downgrade with an older firmware and got errors, including a binary error highlighted in red that said Binary: 1 (or something like that).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] sarbe:
@Up yes your warranty is still intact as you have 0x0.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] shaggydiamond:
I flashed the CF-auto root and it triggered the knox status to 0x1

Then when I try to open SuperSU it says binaries not installed and can't be installed.

Then there's a pop up message, something about Samsung security update, but it always fails.

How can I get rooted now?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] exit_:
I looked around in the beginning and end of this thread but couldn't find a solution.

I installed MH8 on my S4 (GT-I9505) and flashed CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5 using Odin v1.85 with the boot messages as result. So far so good. But after boot, there is no SuperSU app and no root access. It doesn't matter if SuperSU is installed pre-CF-flash or not, even when it is installed before flashing, it is gone afterwards. If I install it manually I get the kill messages and shield-icon when booting and/or running the app. The app itself tells me there is no binaries installed.

Is there any way to get it rooted, and will this bad behavior persist even if I wipe and flash 4.3?

I'm thankful for any help I can get!

Ok i found the solution:

I removed all the triangle away options, then

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2124758

I've defreezed all (titanium), reputted all the system started programs options like origin was with ess task manager, done the topic above for sysscope and knox (titanium too so), reapplied triangle away reset and reused the workaround option.

It came back to the "official" device status.

Few times it comes back custom (with the time, surely after an updated system software), but a reboot reput it official.

I don't know if you should care about official firmware versions if your glass is broken. Broken glass doesn't stand for warranty. You should find a store, what make the think or yourself by eBay or similar replacement kits.

I believed to understand that, the other day on the phone with the operator sav!, I saw this link to change the glass... but only, I also saw that's not easy to change it myself. Make it via a store, it's almost the same price as the operator, so not really the choice.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Lienot:
Hello!

Can anyone confirm that root is working on the current Version I9505XXUAMDM ?

Strange, you had to touch 7 times the Build Nummer or what was it? Can't remember, the same as on the nexus 4 and then there is a message on the display "you are now a developer" then you can put on USB Debugging.

I don't want to destroy my S4 I bought three hours ago, if someone can tell me if it works with USB Debugging enables on Version I9505XXUAMDM it would be very nice,

Have a nice day,

PS: I have the Note 2, and the S4 is perfect, not mega big, but not as small as other device. I have the black mist option - I think I wll stick with this one the next 12 months at least.

What exactly does it modify?

Hi,

Does it contain custom kernel, or does it overwrite the recovery partition?

Basically, I guess my question is: will it break OTA updates, or OTAs should work just fine?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Acuap:
OTA is turned off after root. New Samsung Security. Basically when you try to use OTA you'll get "Your device is modified" message.

CF AUTOROOT works however titanium backup had an issue with restorations it has a problem with the SELinux markers there is a fix available (TB restore fixer) on here and the play store by -viperboy- from here on XDA it also works on rooted note 3´s you basically roll your TB backup out onto your handset and load the restore fixer APK and click fix and it fixes the crashes and FC's of the last app you restored :)

bit of a PITA but it works until TB gets fixed :)

4.3 CF Auto root - Custom status (not official)

I have just installed the official UK 4.3 firmware JSS15J.i9505XXUEMJ7 and rooted with CF Auto Root. The device status appears as custom opposed to official.

So this means OTA will unlikely work. Does anyone know how to fix the problem?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] romeo57:
Oh. So, just follow the procedure as stated?

If i'm not mistaken, you have to unroot first in order to receive OTA. That means you have to re-flash the FW.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] asti009asti:
No, unless I am getting this wrong. CF Auto root via a custom recovery gets root access, installs Super User and restores back the original stock recovery and your root privileges remain. I have just tried to restore stock recovery and (guess what?) it did not help :)

Update: Seems like Wanam Xposed app resolves the OTA problem (at least I am not getting an error saying your device has been modified). The status is Custom though (not official) but as soon as OTA works it does not bother me much.

If I root my 4.3 official Vodafone firmware can I go back to the unrooted official 4.3 firmware (of even 4.2.2) in case of warranty? Or will it always be visible that this device was once rooted?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] SeaFargo:
Bootloader and knox implications

If you root the 4.3 (stock 4.3 firmware), you get the Knox flag 0x1. There's a lot of discussion on what that means.

And consider also that the new bootloader are signed and locked. That means that you can not downgrade

IN ANY CASE

. Even if you never and ever root or do anything strange, once you're on 4.3 you can not downgrade (I mean using stock firmwares). Any attempts fail and knox flag also.

Not just on 4.3. That happen also in many 4.2.2.

Knox and locked bootloader starts from the latest stock 4.2.2 and continue obviously on 4.3 and so on ...

This are the topics:

Go to first new post

[RESEARCH] Samsung Knox: Warranty Void Behavior (NO QUESTIONS HERE)

and

[Q&A][i9505] Knox Q&A / Discussion Thread - ask questions here!

I have flagged my phone to 0x1, and I do not care about it, buto some user warry about it for warranty reasons.

Someone consider warranty complete void if flagged 0x1, other consider just enterprise secure app not more compatibile.

I am for the second opinion, but it's just my opinion.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
Although I still don't quite fully understand what it means, my knox status (in Download mode) says 0x1.

I had a rooted 4.2.2 ROM which I upgraded through Kies to the official stock 4.3

After that, my wifi was acting really weird. I couldn't get it to ON, as it was immediately going back to OFF by itself.

I then installed the official 4.3 stock build again, but now using Odin instead of Kies. After since my wifi is perfect.

Maybe that caused the Knox status to go to 0x1.

Hmm. Maybe I should root my device as I've got the 0x1 thing already. I think I hate Knox with its security/warranty bull****.

Is Samsung going Apple-style?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] NIK3SH:
I think flashing full 4.3 firmware using PC odin will give you complete stock device.

Only custom flash counter will be increased which can be reset using Triangle Away once you gain root using CF AUTO ROOT.....

So steps should be,

1. Flash 4.3 using PC ODIN.

2. Flash CF AUTO ROOT.

3. Reset Custom Flash Counter using Triangle Away...

First turn off any security solution (anti virus app) in your system.

Run latest odin with administration privilege by right clicking ODIN. EXE and selecting RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR

If you're running ODIN in device's MTP mode then it won't work...
