Hi i had to do all of the below :

Info 2 [HOW TO-ROOT&UNLOCK] OTA&KIES Updates+OFFICIAL Status+ XXUAME2 ROOTED [GT-I9505]

Hello everyone

I've found SOLUTION for ALL people who USED or want to USE a Chainfire's CF-AutoRoot for GT-I9505

This method will reset System Status back to OFFICIAL and keep Full Root Access.

PLEASE READ WHOLE POST #1 BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING!!!!!

Works on ALL Firmwares, including XXUAMDM/MDN..!!! - TESTED

DON'T USE MODIFIED_CF_AUTO_ROOT ON ANY OTHER PHONE AS IT CONTAINS KERNEL!!!

You've been warned!!

I DON'T take any responsibility for HUMAN ERRORS....

Follow the GUIDE and it WILL work, if NOT, it's because YOU are doing something wrong...

Using TITANIUM BACKUP and FREEZING app called SEAndroid.apk DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY!!

1. Use any Root Explorer instead and mount SYSTEM as WRITABLE.

2. Go to: /data/data/ look for com.sec.knox.seandroid and rename it to 000.knox.seandroid or whathever you wish.. Same thing applies to com.sec.knox.store

3. Go to: /system/app/ and DELETE: containerAgent.apk, containerAgent.odex, KNOXAgent.apk, KNOXAgent.odex, KNOXStore.apk, KNOXStore.odex,

updated:

After few hours of testing (MDN), there was NO messages at all!!

!!!SOLVED!!!

Instructions:

I - How to Root I9505:

NOTE: If your phone has been ALREADY Rooted or Pre-Rooted with CF, please SKIP this point!!!

1. Visit Chainfire's thread for instructions how to use CF AutoRoot (Firmwares up to MDM)

2. For new MDM/MDN/ME2 Firmwares, use MODIFIED CF_AUTO_ROOT**: <<< Download (Dev-Host) >>> or <<< Download (Android Host) >>>

3. Test it please, go to APPS and look for SuperSU.apk, if it's NOT there, install it from PlayStore.

** (2 files package, including Modified_CF-AutoRoot & Stock Recovery called STATUS MOD - password: djembey2013)

II - How to reset System Status back to OFFICIAL:

1. Download STATUS-MOD** (<<< Dev-Host >>> or <<< Android Host >>>) and unpack it.

2. Use Odin and load I9505_OFFICIAL_STATUS_MOD.tar.md5 as PDA (make sure that ONLY AutoReboot is ticked)

3. Flash it, DONE (Check in Download Mode => Binary & System Status - OFFICIAL)

4. Check your phone status, if it still CUSTOM, remove battery for few seconds and Turn it back ON.

5. In some cases FACTORY DATA RESET (Phone Settings=>Accounts=>Backup & reset =>Factory Data Reset) is required to reset System Status.

III - How to reset Binary Counter (it's hidden but exist)

Install and run Chainfire's TRIANGLE AWAY

To make sure it works properly, install it after System was reset to OFFICIAL with STATUS MOD, otherwise it won't work, it will show 1 all the time!!
