I want to update my phone to 4.3, but I don't want root, but I want to be able to root in the future without triggering the Knox, can anybody guide me through the steps ?

Also i want my device state to be official so that I can use Kies.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ajwconsult:
Appreciate your reply. Can I assume then that the scrip has run and reboot, do the copied files require deleting or just leave them live the original 1 to 6 rooting procedure?

AJW
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Mate, read OP again..... Script will run on boot, that's why you need to restart phone.

After that, delete just script, the .sh file and reboot again.

If you don't have enough space, delete folder as well.

Enjoy
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bizzy_B:
You're welcome. I did it securely: I didn't take the slim script. Installed the rom, booted, made my settings like WiFi gmail and so on, let play store download all apps, copied the script, reatarted, deleted the script, restarted again, deleted unwanted apps with titanium, restarted, installed old titanium backups, restarted, made the terminal emulator steps, restarted again, fully charged battery and made battery calibration, restarted with charging cable plugged in, used my pin code and then plugged it off. Tomorrow I'll charge the phone at 10 or 15 percent fully with my external charging battery , not to break off the loading cycle. Seems complicated but is the best way I learned
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lither:
Sorry if this has been asked before, I've been out of the Knox and bootloader for a while, In Download Mode, it doesn't say anything about Knox so I'm safe and currently using your CWM XXUDMI1 ROM with old bootloader and my SELinux Status is Permissive

So this means I can carry on flashing CWM ROMs you make the same way as before?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dariolob:
Right :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MattyDip:
I'm downloading now MEGA Rom. I'm on the first leaked version of Andoroid 4.3.

1) Can I install the MEGA Rom like all other prerooted roms simply with ODIN? Is this rom already prerooted?

2) Is this rom full wipe or not?

Thanks, sorry for the stupid questions but it was always so easy to flash the prerooted firmwars.

Do the scripts work on the previous vega roms?

I want to use the script to remove bloatware. Im currently on 4.2.2
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] emflorence:
Still failing.

Something is preventing connection. I still think its something to do with "Write Protection: Enable" that list on download mode.

Any clue on what to do?

Regards, Eduardo.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ajwconsult:
Hi DjeMBeY, appreciate your time to reply... Yep. Followed instructions,

Installed new image using odin 3.04

Optimized all installed app as usual

copied directory and SH file to root of sdcard

Reboot

Optimized 3 files this time

Rebooted again

selected SuperSU APP and comments "no SU binary installed"... Don;t think I missed anything. I did without no issues last time and used the 1 to 6 root procedure instead of the su automated one.

Thanks, AJW

EDITED-----------------------------------------------------

Fixed SU Binary problem

Reboot into Recovery mode

then exit and reboot

That's it... a weird one. but done..

Thanks for update rom.

[MENTION=4398524]DjeMBeY[/MENTION]

Reading last pages, I think many people have the same question, including me:

Coming from 4.2.2 with the new bootloader (UDMH8 or others) without root, do we need to wipe data? Because I wanna backup my apps, so if the answer is yes, I have 2 options:

1. Flash UDMH8-MEGA before, backup and then flash 4.3.

2. Wait for 4.3 OTA update (should not wipe data), and then flash 4.3-MEGA.

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bizzy_B:
The only thing i can say is to try to install stock rom of 4.2 or something like that, if you still got the old bootloader, reinstall all drivers and retry the 4.3 version. Take care not to brick your efuse

[MENTION=4398524]DjeMBeY[/MENTION] please Help Me,

In Odin my S4 show in a red this message: "sw rev. check fail fused 3 . binary 2" and dont flash any ROM. What i do to recover my S4 back???? (I Was in MJ3 and was install MJ5 when I get this error.)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] CarlT:
Run your task manager, and kill any KIES processes.

If that doesn't work, power off PC, then turn back on. Also take battery out of phone and power back up before trying again.

Stupid I know, but always worth a try.......
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] IkidPT:
I Still Didn't understand...if i first install the official 4.3 then the mega...or i skip the offical 4.3 firmware and install the 4.3 mega verson coming from my 4.2.2 stock firmware
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Faschoda:
No my friend. You boot into Download Mode (Turn off your Phone, then hold Volume Down + Home Button + Power Button until it boot into Download Mode). Then you select the .tar file as PDA in Odin and flash the ROM from Djembey! Thats all!:highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] donalgodon:
It has nothing to do with "Write Protection: Enable" at all. That's a bootloader protection and it simply doesn't allow you to flash a non-compatible bootloader to your device (from another S4 variant, or another device entirely, for example) and it's basically to protect your device.

The standard Odin checklist is to reinstall drivers, change ports, change cables, change PCs, clean install OS, slaughter a chicken, etc.

Sometimes, Odin and Win-doze can be a real PITA combination.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
I don't know how you guys reading this thread but you CAN SEE questions but you CAN'T SEE answers... Hmmmm... weird...

As I said few posts back........... If coming from 4.2.2 is recommended to wipe data/cache but it's not a MUST..

ROM itself is NO WIPE so it's up to you guys... Flash it on top and try, if it doesn't work, reboot into recovery and wipe it all up..

This is what happened to me... I got stuck on SAMSUNG glowing logo and no go, after full wipe, all OK...

Is it common sense or advance science or what?? :p

Yeah, I had the same when tried to downgrade back to 4.2.2 , New Bootloader is IRREVERSIBLE so I don't know what are you trying to flash and how.... You-tell-me... :p

NO... Scripts WILL work ONLY on MEGA ROM's , NO other... at all!! :p

MEGA has been patched with new key and you need it to activate scripts..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] K900i:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Faschoda:
I was on Djembey's MI8 ROM with new Bootloader (first 4.3 Leak).

Steps i did: 1) Downloaded Djembeys XXUEMJ5-Odex-MEGA-KNOX_0x0-Full http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23156208500211955

2) Booted my phone into DownloadMode

3) Opened Odin, selected XXUEMJ5-Odex-MEGA-KNOX_0x0-Full in PDA, nothing else

4) Connected my S4 to my PC

5) pressed "Start" and listened to Fresh Prince :laugh::laugh:

6) after my phone booted up, i than deleted my sdCard and copied the root files from Djembey on my INTERNAL SDCARD and

followed his instructions!

That's all my friends:good::good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Hehe, this is exactly what I said, aboot.mbn = bootloader... What is your phone??? GT-I9505??? What was your Original/previous Stock FW?? If ZHU... then you CAN'T use it... I really need more detailed information's in order to help you.. ;)

In Odin 3.09 i guess you should put .tar file in AP. Nah it shouldn't be this long. It took me less than 5minutes.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
SELinux ENFORCING is your answer.... it detects Superuser and Device/System Status changes to CUSTOM... :p

That's really weird..... Restart your computer, use different USB cable/port , remove battery from phone and try again... It must work, worst case scenario, try to flash STOCK XXUEMJ5 and then see what happen..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Faschoda:
Because your System-status will be changed in custom when you flash the ROM. But as far as i know this isn't a knox thing.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lucas_Skyline:
Quite stupid question but... What is the difference between using Odin 3.04 and 3.09? People recommend 3.04, but, for me, makes more sense using 3.09, since it is probably most updated...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] assanches:
OK. I will try. (20 minutes to finish download). One question, have any way to remove the bootloader of your ROM MJ5. I think my problem is realy the bootloader flash.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kafej666:
I'm rally only one on old boot loader (without knox) w8 for your recovery version ? without boot loader and with custom kernel :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
What is your KNOX WARRANTY VOID 0x0 or 0x1?? If 0x1 the you can use this http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23156208500211956 (MJ5 Bootloader-Free) but if you have 0x0 you MUST flash Stock FW to keep it clean, flashing FW w/o bootloader will trip the flag..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dariolob:
same here :(

Edit: Nevermind, fixed it and got my phone booted wiping from stock android 3e recovery :) for some reason wiping from Philz didn't work!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Faschoda:
There are no stupid questions my friend. Just stupid answers.

Odin 3.09 is just a newer version, but you can flash djembey Rom with either versions
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] assanches:
I got it. Did the following: I downloaded your ROM MEGA MJ5 and took from inside the file tar.md5 the Bootloader (aboot.bin). Because of this change to my Knox WARRATY VOID 0x1, but that's the least of the problems. Thank you very much.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] JackYack13:
Nope, I am too :D I was actually THIS close to flashing the stock samsung 4.3 leak but something was messed up with my USB port and Odin wouldn't let me do it. I didn't know anything about all this knox mess. And now I'm thanking god that Odin broke and I still have the old bootloader and freedom to flash whatever I want without having to worry about tripping knox or not being able to go back :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] assanches:
Try BOOTLOADER FREE version of this ROM its on OP.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] JackYack13:
Doesn't it require that I have the new bootloader already? I'm on stock rooted MGA.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] IkidPT:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Audioboxer:
Us guys on the old bootloader need to wait for a flashable zip.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Hoggles:
Please be careful what you suggest to people.

DJ says in the OP, the bootloader free version is ONLY if you are already KNOX 0x1.

"Bootloader-FREE- KNOX 0x1!!! DO NOT USE IT unless you have 0x1 already!!"

The guy you were talking to obviously is not 0x1.

Just a heads up...

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Hoggles:
My apologies to DJ for mentioning another thread.... But.... If you are nervous about any of this, do keep in mind friedrich420 has a ROM/thread in this forum, where you can recovery flash the new firmware(MJ3....MJ5 is still uploading), without bootloader or any KNOX worries at all. As simple as ever.

This thread is flooded with people who are nervous about the new bootloader, KNOX etc. Just want to make sure some of you know there is a stress free alternative ;)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] potatohead:
Excellent work DjeMBeY!!!! Many thanks!!!!

For those new to Wanam Xposed - the app will NOT work by itself, e.g. if you just download it from Play store, install, check off the settings you want to change and reboot, nothing will happen after reboot. You won't get any error msg when using the app, but you also will not see any desired changes to the settings.

For the changes by Wanam Xposed to take effect, you will also need the Xposed framework to be installed, and the Wanam app itself to be applied as a module within the the framework, Xposed framework installer is provided for by DjeMBeY in his script located at post #1.

After rooting your phone with the script, launch Xposed Installer, go to Framework, download and install the framework, reboot. Go back to the installer after rebooting, go to Modules, check Wanam Xposed, reboot again for it to take effect.

I am totally new to Wanam Xposed :) took me a while to figure out what I wasn't doing right (couldn't get Status to be set to Official no matter how I use the app), hope the above info can save newbies some head scratching time.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] potatohead:
how did you copy over?

i do know a few who actually misunderstood what is 'root' of the internal SD card and thus could not root successfully.

the simplest way is to connect your phone to the PC via USB and as a media device, using your windows explorer, double click to open your S4 and you should see 'Card' and 'Phone'. Double click to open 'Phone', then simply drag or copy / paste the rooting files to 'Phone'. Unplug the cable and then reboot.

if you still cannot get your S4 to be successfully rooted this way, you can at least be sure that it has nothing to do with the rooting files being in the wrong place.

So as I have old bootloader without knox flag and I want to keep it that way I have to wait for flashable zip (without bootloader) to upgrade to XXUEMJ5, right? Also is there some advantage in flashing stock rom through odin or cwm because I want to have completely fresh and clean installation? Thanks!

EDIT: I have 1 more question. If I were to install stock XXUEMJ5 without root then knox flag will be 0x0 as it is my first flash with this new bootloader?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] pecora:
No, you have to flash MEGA rom Knox 0x0. CWM rom is for Knox 0x1 user. Or if you want to stay with old bootloader you can flash Echoe

2° question: if you install stock rom you can not root your phone without trigger Knox flag.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] CyberT3:
Well aren't the Echoe rom and stock CWM rom the same thing except for the tweaks and as far as I know currently there is no DjeMBeY XXUEMJ5 CWM rom available?

Yes I know it will change if I root but I was asking to make sure it wouldn't change just by flashing it.
