Hi,

I read in a German forum that this will not work on latest update (Germany) for the s4. Update is

XXUAMDM.

Can't test it because I'm still waiting that I get my s4.. Hopefully next week ;)

Can somebody please confirm

Thanks

Confirming that it works on my ATT US S4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] paleman27:
I confirm it does. BUT follow the apps intruccions on the app store before you open the app. This is very important. Do not turn ON the tethering switch of the phone, just set it up (name and password). Then open the app and voilà. Just opening the app it turns everything on. For turning off the tether just hit the app icon again.

I already accept the debug usb on my S4 etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] xebozone:
Yes, I'm well-aware of this, however, I know not to restore any system apps, settings or information; just normal apps eg. shazam (to keep my tags) etc.

I can always remove those apps and data if they cause issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] mcmb03:
Why not just use chainfire's app I posted earlier? It sounds a lot easier than what you keep telling people to use. There's really no way to screw up while using it..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] Bender B. Rodgriguez:
Install a terminal emulator and open a new terminal.

Type "su" without the quotes and post the output.

Also check your app drawer and see if super user is installed.

Edit. I see you had a failure in your output.

Try running the batch file as administrator.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] Shibaiinu:
First of all, thanks you for your quick response :)

I forget to say that i'm on mac os X.

How may I install a terminal emulator?

I already check on my phone, there is the super user installed but it's not working. And when i use root checker they told me that my phone is not rooted properly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] paleman27:
You are kidding? Right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] Bender B. Rodgriguez:
Install a terminal emulator app on the phone from the google play store

I used windows to root so I cannot be much assistance for mac troubleshooting. Can you try with another computer?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] mcmb03:
No
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] Shibaiinu:
I just install "Terminal Emulator" on the galaxy S4. I type su and it says:

su: not found

---

Yes sure, I can try with my samsung series 9:

I get the same message:

Failure at the end and just before: "FILE_ALREADY_EXISTING"

Edit : Maybe i should use an other way to root it? With odin and so on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] paleman27:
I'm too busy scratching my balls. Maybe we'll go at it some other time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] mcmb03:
wow, are you ignorant. I was simply asking a question, not trying to "go at it"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] Bender B. Rodgriguez:
Can you post the full output? I want to see exactly where it is failing. What file is it saying already exists?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] mcmb03:
Try to rerun the root method, my guess is that it pushed the superuser app, but not the su binary and didn't actually run pwn on your device.

I already rerun the method 4 times. (2 times on mac, and 2 times on windows) and I always get that.

I also already did a hard reboot on the samsung and try to root but again the same error.

I was thinking of using an other method with odin and CF-Auto-Root ... :/

My phone is a galaxy S4 XXUAMDM maybe that's why it's not working?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] Bender B. Rodgriguez:
Hrmm. Its failing installing super user becuase it is already there. That shouldnt prevent it from working though.

I did a quick google search and found this.

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/4...4-i9505-root-android422-xxuamdm-jellybean.htm

Does this method work for you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] Shibaiinu:
I didn't try it for the moment ...

I will try it now :)

I delete the super user before doing this method you think?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] Bender B. Rodgriguez:
You can. It wont hurt anything. Be really careful and follow the instructions to the letter. more than one person has ruined a brand new phone by making a mistake with Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] Shibaiinu:
Omg ... Maybe i will wait then ...

And the version of odin that they proposed seems out of date, i find a new one on other website where they propose also this method of root ... I don't want to do any mistake ... :D

And if i do it, i will do it when i have free time like tmr afternoon.

Thanks a lot for your help, i keep you updated when i will try this method with odin.

i find here the same kind of method but with a newer version of odin ... :/

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] Duarte777:
Yes, i think, but a friend have tried this method on a international version and he confirms that works 100% ;) So, i dont need CF-root for now.

CASUAL handles Windows, Linux, and Mac in a single Java JAR. you can open it up and go into the /SCRIPTS/ folder then open the SCR to see your code rewritten in CASUAL format.

The benefeit of CASUAL scripting is that it performs troubleshooting for the user

Download http://d-h.st/64i

Anyway, i always rewrite in CASUAL format because its more useful to have a single file that works on all platforms rather than a zip file that has differences for each.

Still Confused

I did a factory reset from the boot menu after rooting and the Settings fails to load after intial startup. There is another thread that has the AT&T firmware available for download. Is there anything I can do to just get past the startup menus? If not, and I'm still waiting on the "bootloader" how long will it be till we have one(Based on history). I saw someone post that it could take up to a month, and in that case, I'll just file an insurance claim. Sorry if this has been stated many times but the seperate posts are confusing. Like I said, even if there isn't a way to start from fresh, does anyone know if it is possible to fix the settings issue that I'm having?

Thanx to everyone that made this possible sooo soon!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] cruszala:
Thanks for the hard worked on getting this rooted so quickly. Successfully rooted on Sprint last night. Does anyone have the hotspot working with this? Tried TreveMod and could not get that working and although I have seen methods for other carriers I have not seen any on Sprint. TIA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] paleman27:
Ask mcbc3po. He seems to have an edge for this petty adjustments.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] AcE2DuCe:
This what is used for now

I've tried all Device-profiles on WiFi tether TreveMod, but it only seems to work with no log errors on the S3 settings and setup-method to auto. For some reason the wireless network doesn't show up on my laptops network. I'm using FoxFi (WiFi Tether w/o Root) 2.12 with USB tether for now(the wifi tether crashes the app). I had to Googled FoxFi apk 2.12 and had to download it to get it because the android market didn't have it on there.

To get unlimited data you must buy the key from the market which is offered.

Message me for the website to download free version if needed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] cruszala:
Thanks for the info I have the Foxfi setup, but like you mentioned the wifi portion doesn't work. I am trying to get it setup so I can use it with my xoom. No luck for now I guess. Thanks.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] lessthanzach:
Lol. Dude, if it isn't in the play store or didn't come with your phone it voids your warranty. You should probably wait on root until you know more about the process and the current situation. I've rooted and tinkered with at least a dozen phones and I'm not even entertaining the idea of rooting this one yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] SW686:
Try running the attached version, e.g.

adb push pwn-new /data/local/tmp

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/pwn-new

adb shell /data/local/tmp/pwn-new

If it still fails, strace it and attach the log:

adb push strace /data/local/tmp

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/strace

adb shell /data/local/tmp/strace /data/local/tmp/pwn-new

If it succeeds, your shell is now running as root (you'll need to install su by hand).

Hi guys,

tried to root my Device (XXUAMDM) but everytime I want to run SuperSU it says the SUBinarys aren't installed. Already tried the CF method, still not working.

What should I do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] mcmb03:
EDIT: you may be out of luck for the time being, I've seen a few others with the same firmware post about having issues obtaining root with these methods, hold tight and I'm sure there will be a method in no time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] tdesbien31:
ATTENTION: For anyone experiencing the binaries not being updated, do the following:

1. Go to app manager, and force stop Superuser.

2. Uninstall Superuser

3. Repeat the motochopper root steps, to reinstall Superuser

4. Open Superuser once motochopper is complete, and you should now be rooted without the binaries problems.

I tried this on 2 different S4's and it worked perfectly.

So...

I always have Rooted all on my phones but I have a question. I know this Root Method has the notification screen as a result. My question is is there a good likely hood the error message can be removed?

I have a Note 2 now and am using the SG4 and trying to decide and don't want to have an issue should I try return the SG4.

I guess my old fall back is the shorting out the phone so it won't come on to return if if needed, but hoping for a cleaner solution if I decide not to keep it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] akaimeridia:
I'm new to the Galaxy phones... just switched to the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 (I337) from 7 years of iPhones. I want to root really badly but I'm nervous that if it messes up, my phone will be broken completely. Is there a way to know when a recovery comes out, so that if something does happen, I can restore the phone? Sorry if this is a dumb question. Thanks in advance for any help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] antde201:
This is not a dumb question at all, chief. The rule of thumb for now is; though rooting a device does come with its benefits, in the case of a phone with a locked bootloader like ours, rooting prior to a bootloader exploit being found is not recommended unless you are willing to live with the risks associated with such a procedure. If anything happens while rooted with a locked bootloader, your phone cannot be factory reset and a bad flash may also cause a brick.

The success rate in this thread is quite extraordinary, I might add - and as such, rooting following the procedures given in this thread seems to bear very little risk. The decision to root comes down to if you're willing to take the dive and bite the bullet if anything bad happens until a bootloader exploit is found, or would you rather sit tight and wait for an unlock and custom rom? I've rooted my device with no issues. I don't believe much worry is needed in this case.

Hope that helps. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] peaster3:
I did something similar. For steps 1 and 2, no change. Then I installed SuperSU to update the binaries and it appears I had a pleasant side effect - My device status says "Official" instead of "Custom" and I no longer have the unlocked symbol at boot. I read in another thread that someone else did the same thing with the same result. Not sure if this completely prevents AT&T from seeing that the device has been rooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] akaimeridia:
Thank you so much! I'm sorry, I just have a few more questions...

Is there a way to unroot the phone once it's rooted?

Do you know how long it usually takes before a bootloader exploit is found?

What about this would break the phone? If it freezes during installation? I've followed all the steps except actually running the program because I'm so nervous to break it lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] antde201:
I believe there may be a method of going into the system and removing certain permissions and pushed files was mentioned earlier in the thread, but I haven't heard of how successful this method is.

The time it takes for a bootloader exploit to be made public is subject to how long it takes the developers to find one. If an exploit used on similar hardware in the past is deemed successful, it may not take much longer than a week. If the devs have to search for a new exploit that does not yet exist, the duration of time increases exponentially. In the case of the AT&T variant the only good news I'm hearing is that the bootloader doesn't seem to be encrypted, which is a good sign. Just keep checking back here, once an exploit is found and rom development begins this place will come alive.

Once you have the device prepared for the root process, you're halfway there. All that has to be done is running the script which will take care of all the manual labor. As I said, the root procedure displayed here seems to be rock solid with very few exceptions. If your root is successful just remember to be careful with migrating data (if you intend to use titanium backup and other similar apps) as some data clusters are not compatible and may cause your OS to become unresponsive. If that happens, no refresh is yet available to you to make your phone useful again while rooted. If you want to remove some of the bloatware from your phone but are not sure which apps and system processes to freeze, feel free to ask here and a safe list can be provided. Otherwise the process of rooting should go smoothly. Just use your phone as your normally would and enjoy your moderate level of freedom until rom development begins :).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] dennka:
will this root method work with i337m model(Canadian version)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] alacrify:
Couple of comments:

1. For unrooting, don't just watch this thread - there are threads in General, Q&A, and Development about this that may apply. I haven't tested since I'm not worried about it yet, but there are reports of successful unrooting/returning to stock. Although without a restore image, an updated Odin/Heimdall, and probably a bootloader unlock this may be a "if it works, good for you" proposition at this point.

2. If you use Titanium backup (or similar) just don't restore any system apps and you should be ok. I successfully restored some apps with data from my GS3 backup (although some did NOT restore their settings, so use with caution - you might be off better setting up fresh).

3. If you want to freeze apps/debloat, I recommend NOT asking here - I'd check in Themes and apps forum or Q&A, start a thread, or do a search - not just in the AT&T GS4 forums, but a general "GS4 bloatware XDA" search in Google. I've already found several from the i950x threads showing good lists of things you can freeze (DON'T uninstall until we have an image to restore!). They're worth reading, and also can leave this thread for unrooting discussion, not "what next discussion".

Sorry for the long post - hope it helps.
