I'm on Knox 0/1 and I tried Rom with de la vega root mode, but it doesn't work, I wait prerooted MJ3.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] JackYack13:
What's the difference between the ROMs in the first post and the CWM official flashable ROMs in third post? If I still haven't flashed any firmware containing the knox bootloader (I'm on MGA), will I be able to simply flash one of the CWM ROMs and not have to worry about knox?

Oh wait, I just realized that the CWM ROMs probably require that I have a knox bootloader... is that right?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Ausboy 2011:
Yes thats correct buddy, Don't flash bootloader dependant roms yet mate some smart devs have released roms with wifi working without the need of the bootloader and im sure our clever op here will do the same :)

Bro,

I d/l ed this new one.MD5 is fine. But even after following your instructions on page one to the letter, I have no root. Should the script run on first boot? Should I see anything? Any clues??? Please???
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lucas_Skyline:
DjeMBeY, the link for XXUDMH8-VEGA is wrong in the first post. I think it should be http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23159073880936408

Now, one question, just to make sure I understood: I'm actually in XXUDMH8, 0x0. I want to have root and I'll be possible upgrading to 4.3. Flashing XXUDMH8-VEGA will not wipe data neither increase the counter, right?

Thank you.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mankvl:
I would like to know that to. But with Vega u will have custom device and that means no OTA or KIES updates, but if u use Wanam Xposed it will change your device status to official, but does this mean u will have OTA updates then? Anyway after 4.3 is live you'll be able to flash 4.3 vega firmware and aplly the de la vega root again :)

I try to flash but i havent ROOT.

It's possible to root the phone in other way ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] pecora:
i think you flash vega rom, so from 1° thread:

ROOTING instructions (for VEGA ONLY!!!):

1. Remove the external SDcard (just in case and if you have one)

2. Extract and copy the contents of Root_de_la_Vega.zip to the root of the internal storage

root_de_la_vega.sh

root_files (folder)

3. Reboot - VERY Important!

4. After fully booting delete the files from the internal storage that were added previously

root_de_la_vega.sh

root_files (folder)

5. Reboot - EXTREMELY Important!

6. Reinsert the external sdcard (if you have one) and ENJOY!!!

If your 0x1 KNOX is you can use any Stock / Custom ROM / Recovery

From OP:

MJ3

KNOX Bootloader INCLUDED - Reversible back to 4.2.2 - XXUDMGG and newer FW's with KNOX Bootloader!!

Impossible to downgrade back to XXUBMH1 or older FW's!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] krz_ayman:
ok I'll do the same

your flag is always 0X1?

By flashing the stock MJ3 not flag returns a 0X0?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mrachni:
My KNOX Warranty is 0x0.

I am just asking,can i return to XXUBMGA without triggering KNOX to 0x1?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] pecora:
It's not a Knox problem, you can not return to an old bootloader like MGA has.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mrachni:
Ok,but i dont see XXUDMGG on first page?

Ok,to say simple,can i install any of this SLIM Roms or i cant?

If you don't want to trigger Knox flag you can return to MH8 vega.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] pitcher85:
He wrote you can flash any ROM of him when having knox 0x1 - hence you can also flash XXUEMJ3 VEGA.

---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------

We are talking here about a stock ROM - its leaked, but should be stable. (if you want to call TouchWiz stable :D)

If you prefer a final stock ROM, wait for the official release.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chickentuna:
No. You need the new bootloader for that rom to function properly. If you don't flash the new bootloader, sound, wifi and calls will break.

Hello

I have rooted my sgs4 with hybrid rom (GT-I9505 Original HYBRID ROM (Stock)) but have experienced troubles with foldermount app. I have contacted the developer, who told me to reflash my rom and go to modified stock root (BASIC ROOT ACCESS ONLY).

So my question is how to do that? Just connect via odin, go to download mode and reflash with other version, or are there any important things to do before/after? What are main benefits using this hybrid root and what i will not be able to do with that basic rom, which doesn't give me full access.

Thank you in advance
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] RoseN-95:
Do you need to wipe when flashing ME2 over MDN Hybrid?

Or when will Hybrid ME2 be realesed?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TheWizzard2203:
[MENTION=4398524]djembey[/MENTION]: Okay. But you say when something is modified in the /system directory the phone will reboot. I assume this counts for the /system/apps directory as well. How should we install the apps with .odex then?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Hmm... Mounting System as Writable is possible on HYBRID ROM or STOCK ROM rooted with Modified CF.... I'm not sure why you had any issues on HYBRID, I'm able to delete whatever I want from system without any reboots...

HYBRID ROM is a mix of few things in 1 file... STOCK SYSTEM, Latest Modem, Unlocked Kernel, Implanted CF-AutoRoot, separately flashable CSC packages... If you don't want to try it, use STOCK ROM instead, root it with Modified CF and try this app again...

DO NOT even try your app on BASIC ROOT ROMs as it won't work...

FACTORY DATA RESET is required for HD Voice activation so it will be better to do it after you flash ME2 ;)

All apps without .odex file can be installed as normal.. no problem.. those with .odex files are rubbish anyway and can't be added back to system...

If you need them, USE STOCK ROM..... ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] [^IcEmAn^]:
What about if I would like to flash Omega 3.0 ROM onto my S4?

I have HYBRID ROM, so what's the procedure? Indie says in his guide, that we have to flash ME2 ROM before flashing his, but what do we have to do, if we are using your MDN Hybrid ROM? Flash ME2 over it or what? I'm confused :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Yes. Just flash Stock ME2 on top of it and then install Omega. Job done. ;)

Hi guy's, since i've flash the MI8 pre-root i can't flash anything in recovery. He write just "can't mount sdcard". I've test with stock release and it's the same.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tyxerakias:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] greeny2010:
I was having the problem as what you mentioned. I get this to work by doing a full wipe, reinstall back the VEGA version and proceed to root using the method given. Now I have SU 1.6.5 on my system and so far, no problem encounter.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bessagabriel:
True, sry!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jjnhl68:
I did according to instructions, no need to repeat whole procedure, flashed ROM, after that part with root files. And before flashing already did full wipe, so don't understand what went wrong.

I'll repeat the process later and see if I get lucky on second attempt.

You can get 4.2.2 only with MH8. But not sure! Older will cause the effect you posted.

There is only a recovery solution, but it still remains MI8 and Wifi and extSdCard will not work with it.

Belive me, I tried it. With new bootloader you cannot go back to MGA. Sorry mate :/

After the reboot, Samsung's knox system will tell u it has successfully stopped SuperSU from executing blah blah blah, ignore this message, your phone has indeed been rooted.

Go to Play store and download Terminal Emulator, type 'su' (to get super user rights) and then 'pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid' (without the quotes, as per post #1), the above annoying message will no longer appear.

One thing I have no luck with is system status staying 'Custom' even with Wanam Xposed (also tried Triangle Away's delayed SuperSU execute method - no dice), is the cause SuperSU (root)?

Hi Everyone,

My apologies if this is slightly off-topic but I posted the below in Q&A but didn't get a reply. Since this thread assists users with Odin Flash I thought it would be a good place to ask :)

I used to be able to flash official firmware using odin when i wanted a clean install and get ota updates.

Recently i have been getting "your device has been modified" when trying to check for updates.

Download mode. System status and binary "custom"

My network providers firmware is MEA and i have been lucky to avoid the knox issue as i have not odin flashed any firmware beyond MGA.

The only thing i have done recently is install foxhound 2 which is on ML1.

I know i can reset it using triangleaway but obviously i would have to root it.

Is there a reason why the bootloader would still show as custom after an official install?

Just concerned incase i need to send it back for repair that's all.

Many thanks for your help
