I - How to Root: GT-I9500/I9505​

Flashing instructions:

Use one of the Pre-Rooted Official ROM's and keep it clean from the beginning... or

1. Install KIES or USB drivers from here

2. Download and run Odin from here (v.3.04 is recomended)

3. Make sure that ONLY AutoReboot & F.Reset Time is ticked in Odin options

4. Download and extract CF-AutoRoot: CF-AR for GT-I9500 or CF-AR for GT-I9505

5. Load extracted file (.tar.MD5) as PDA in Odin.

6. Turn OFF your phone, Press&Hold POWER+HOME+VOL_DOWN buttons until phone boot into Download/Odin Mode

7. Connect phone to the computer and WAIT for the drivers to be installed. You will see blue or yellow indicator in left top corner of Odin, with phone connected to port: COM:x

9. Unplug the cable and WAIT, phone will reboot into recovery with RED ANDROID LOGO where root will be applied and Stock Recovery restored.

II - How to reset Binary Counter and Device Status back to OFFICIAL:​

​

​

​

Install and run Chainfire's TRIANGLE AWAY (I9505 ONLY, I9500 is NOT SUPPORTED YET)

NOTE: There is an option "System modified workaround", please tick this and restart your phone. Device Status should be back to OFFICIAL!! Use it with caution!!

Next few steps are ONLY for people who couldn't reset it with Triangle Away...

1. Reboot into Download Mode and check if Binary & System are OFFICIAL.

2. Only if the BINARY Status is still Custom, download and extract OFFICIAL STATUS MOD(.tar.md5): GT-I9500 or GT-I9505 - open in Odin as PDA (password: djembey2013)

3. Use Wanam Xposed and tick "Fake System Status" to get Official Device/System status
​

Your Device Status will be back to OFFICIAL and FULLY ROOTED, NO REBOOTS, TESTED!!! :)

Fully Working OTA and KIES updates!! :)

FIY: Root will be lost after OFFICIAL updates.​

I've also managed successfully pre-root and rebuild OFFICIAL ROM for GT-I9505

It is fully working, no issues at all!! :)
