That happened to me twice it's there, sometimes it takes time to appear i think its a bug, try restarting your phone, or clear sd cards cache im not sure how to do that... if it don't appear then delete the folder and make sure you got enough space on the card.. Then make a new back up... by the way how big is the back up as i tried mine stopped around 4gigs i only got a measly 8gig card but i had movies on the card aswell....
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] mihir880:
Tried all not working still

Guess it's some bug only

Mine is 16gig sdcard

The thing is I dont know exactlywhere the back up is getting done

on internal or external

I checked both after the back up the space has not been used

Guess need to wait for some new update fixing this bug

Is bcz there is not enough space in the card that is the

??
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] N1NJATH3ORY:
Try settings then storage see how much space system is taking up? I think it does back up your apps too, not sure about downloads, ringtones, etc. maybe it backs up every thing listed system downwards. then make sure you have enough space on card according to system then try backing up...

I am currently on Build number I9500XXUBMG1. Using this method to root is really easy but with root I could not use screen mirroring with my LG TV. So I tried to unroot but still could not stream to my TV. Anyone know how to fix this? Do I have to unroot then reflash stock ROM? Or I can just flash stock kernel via CWM? If so where can I download them? I don't see any of them here >_<.

Really appreciate your help, Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] N1NJATH3ORY:
I know this is a dumb question but did you enable screen mirroring ? As it shouldn't really matter if you rooted or unrooted it should just work...
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] shaoran_ojo:
Of course I enabled it. It said that there has some hardware problem. And from other users, they also reported that screen mirroring doesn't work with rooted S4. So I'm just curious if there is a way for that to work (Root + screen mirroring) if not how can I go back to stock? Will flashing stock also include with stock kernel? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] N1NJATH3ORY:
Just unroot it first, then try screen mirroring. if it don't work then you will know to flash stock Rom, then stock kernel good luck...

Hi,

Forgive me at the start for my noob approach..

I would like to ask if it is possible to root my GT-i9500CHN (got it from Samsung China) with that version (CWM 6.0.3.2 V3.0).

My current baseband version is I9500ZCUCMF3 and handeset is not accepting any other (getting 'soft brick'), so I am able to go back only to I9500ZCUCMF3.

As you know Chinese version has no google apps at all plus there is only Chinese IME.

My Kernel version is: 3.4.5-868190 se.infra@SEP-97 #1, Mon Jul 1 20:14:37 KST 2013

Is that Kernel OK to accept rooting as I heard some of new Kernels are blocked? (if so, does it mean I have to downgrade it?)

Build number: JDQ39.I9500ZCUCMG1

Once again thanks for your support.

Other observations:

Yes the "Superuser" app can't load apps list. This is the only problem I got. But root working excellent. (but without conf window)

(BTW: I flashed "cofface_samsungI9500_recovery_en_0503.tar" when I restart to recovery, I saw there still a "stock" one !

So I flashed "cofface_samsungI9500_recovery_cn_0503.tar" restart to recovery and it worked but on Chinese.

After I flashed "cofface_samsungI9500_recovery_en_0503.tar" everything was perfect. After I flashed root.)

Thanks, exact same ROM as I'm running. Weird though, tried a different combination of the Chinese / English versions and the old / new, absolutely nothing is giving me full root access. (ie, Titanium Backup still won't work as expected.)

What I did notice:

1) Old root method just flat out does not work. You will get a no root access in Titanium instead.

2) New root method looks like it's trying to work, and Titanium shows a green check mark next to root. But, the "not full SU" error message pops up, and you do not have any visibility to the system apps to freeze / remove.

Bizarre is all I can say...

---------- Post added at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] nathanator:
I was having trouble with mine. Here's the log :

Opened out of box, hooked up Wifi, downloaded UBUAMDK via the out-of-the-box updater.

Flashed cofface_samsungI9500_recovery_en_0503.tar. SuperSU installed, but phone ran silly hot after running anything that needed root.

Turned on power saving CPU option - phone no longer ran silly hot when anything needed root, but Root Checker Basic and Titanium Pro were complaining about being unable to get root. Than, at what appeared to be random time intervals later, I'd get the dialog displaying that root was granted to either Titanium or Root Checker Basic.

Gave up for a day, installed some basic apps, but obviously can't restore properly until TiPro works.

Just then, I tried:

Flash the cn version.

Reboot to recovery, checked everything in Chinese characters.

Reboot straight to downloader without letting OS load.

Reflash en version.

Reboot to recovery.

Select root, then new root method.

Reboot to OS - SuperSU not working.

Titanium Pro now reports (After checking for SQLlite support) :

Busybox works but the "su" command does not elevate to root.

So then I tried:

Reboot to recovery.

Root method, then old root method.

Then new root method without rebooting.

Reboot to OS

Now, still getting the same error from TiPro, as above. Root Checker Basic reports "The device does not have proper root access". SuperSU starts, but sits with a waiting spinny thing for at least 30 seconds. Haven't let it run longer than that.

Anyone know if there's a log I can dig out that might shed some light on the situation?

Guys. I believe there is a thread talking about newer roms having kernel check and disabling root access.

Mine is a Latin American bound I9500 as well, that's not the point. The point is which firmware you're running.

If you've updated to the latest as of yesterday(ish), you are then running UBUAMDK. Titanium and several other root required apps will not run properly with this root method on this new firmware, this has already been confirmed by Andreilux here:

Once you flash that over the top, it disables the SELinux extensions, allowing cofface's changes to work perfectly. Just flashed it over the top of my little debacle above, and it seems to have fixed it neatly. I'll post more if it has any issues.

Update : exFat doesn't seem to work, as per some of the thread comments. Seems to be the reason my 64GB SD Card isn't recognised anymore.
