I literally just bought the full version of Triangle Away and did this before reading this post.

SU is still disabled, so just giving it some time to work itself out
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] occtec:
Download it from the play store :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Dark Angel Arus:
Hmm, looks like it didn't work.

After SU was re-granted, Triangle Away still reports the counter at 1.

I rebooted to Download mode, and that still shows Custom.

The workaround option is still selected.

Did I do something wrong? Should I have left it longer?

Thanks

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] timberwolf60:
Updating firmware by pc odin generally your data still there but backup is recommended for firmware upgrade. In case you need f. reset. under stock recovery will wiped off your data including formatting internal sd card. Root will be gone and need to root it again. If factory reset by custom recovery, it only erase your installed applications. The internal sd card will remained.

That's what i was doing with my Note 2 and everything would go back to complete stock and in the device info it would show "normal" (there it's either normal or modified...). But still I wasn't sure if the manufacturer would still be able to figure it out....

Hey,

I wiped Cache, Dalvik, system and data... flasht the stock MEA and used CAF... WIFI was not working.

Then I wiped again Cache, Dalvik, system and data and installed your pre rooted "I9505XXUBMEA-PRE-ROOTED-DEODEXED-SuperSlim.tar" and I had the same WIFI bug, WIFI cant be activated...

I used Odin 3.07, is that the mistake?

Now I have your I9505XXUBMEA-PRE-ROOTED-DEODEXED-SuperSlim.tar with the ADAM Kernel 1.3.2, is working very fine after hardcore debloating and deactivating annoying KNOX messages :victory:

Question

My GT i9505 has:

Baseband version: I9505XXUAMDM

Build number: JDQ39.I9505XXUAMDM

I am considering using this method to root it, but as I read on Chainfire Auto Root website,

it says: "If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device"

My question is: should I check the bootloader status, and how to do it.

Will this method, using CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5 will work on my phone?

(All my other android devices are rooted and with custom roms, but I just got my S4 ...)

thanks a lot.

Other apps work very well.

I just tried Adam Kernel which solved the problem and now Es File Explorer is able to gain Root access and shows few more options.

Can't tell if it is a Cf-Root issue or Es-F-ex fault

exact error message is : Sorry test failed. This feature cannot run on your phone'

I was getting the same errors and couldn't figure out why. Now I seem to have sorted it.

Try this. DO NOT HAVE ODIN OPEN YET

Stop KIES on your PC if it is on.

1) Put your phone into Download mode, (Home, Vol Down, Power at same time).

2) Connect your USB to PC/Laptop and phone.

3) Press UP on your phone.

4) then, open ODIN. <---only open AFTER your have pressed UP on your phone. COM and "Added" should be showing.

5) Flash what you need to flash.

(I noticed previously when I had Odin open, then pressed UP, it would show as "Added" and a Com would show, but I would ALWAYS get the Pit error and a Red FAIL)

I have now tried this method 3 times on the trot, actually flashed CWM with success, (where as it was always failing previously), and reflashed other ROMS with success each time.

Hope this helps others.

Yeah, normal practise for me is connect in download mode before opening odin, however have found that order makes no difference

With our device this error seems to appear because of the connection - most of the time it is because of the usb cable. G4 does not seem to like cheap usb cables

I've tried this way with an OEM cable but still get the red FAIL. My drivers are up to date and the PC recognizes my phone. BTW, I saw a YouTube video that stated to flash it using the PDA button, but I've tried that one including the PHONE BUTTON. Nothing works.Has anyone had rooting problems after trying all of these solutions?

Root access is not working with MEA or MDN.

Root explorer was working with Adam's Kernel... but after few issues I decided to get back to CF-Root.

I try to re-install, ES file explore,

I even did a full wipe of my GS4 (for fun) with installing only ES file explorer and CF-Roll with no luck

CSC select which was previously working on MDN is not working anymore on MEA.

Can't blame CF-root or sSU for this

I know, I'm OT and I'm sorry for that, but I really need an answer and already asked in Q & A section.

I have installed MEA rom and then rooted with CF, now I cannot see any of my paid apps. For example if I look for Titanium Backup (I have bought the Pro version) I have to pay again to install. Any help :o:o:o

I have a backup, maybe it solve my trouble..

EDIT:

solved by writing to googleplay support, nothing has worked. If you have no solutions to this: "error while retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]" then wrigth to support.
