you da man, thanks for the Quick reply. Will take a look. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattlgroff:
I am not responsible for anything you do with your device. Anything you or someone else flashes or modifies on your device or someone else's device is not my fault or responsibility to fix (or break).

What is this?

SGH-M919V_JB_Opensource.zip [MDB Version] compiled with the defconfig grabbed from May 7th OTA - M919UVUAMDL. You can grab the source like I did, from opensource.samsung.com. Defconfig was the only change, since CONFIG_SEC_RESTRICT_SETUID was already commented out from the source linked previously. Modules are also included from this kernel source, same link as previously as well.

Flash this if you want to have a non-SetUID restricted kernel compatible with the May 7th OTA - M919UVUAMDL and you don't want to flash the old boot.img which is done in my root thread.

Downloads

Mirror 1 - Dev-Host

Mirror 2 - Batakang

Source

Github

Instructions

Flash in the Custom Recovery of your choice.

If you aren't already rooted, flash a Root.zip such as SuperuSu by Chainfire or Superuser by Koush.

Reboot and enjoy.

Tested On

M919UVUAMDB

M919UVUAMDL

Be Advised

SDCard's using exFat will not work with this kernel.

Flasher updated, now will not remove all modules in system, but will just overwrite the ones made by Samsung Open Source. This way you don't need to flash exFat modules separately. You can still do so if you want.

The exFat kernel module is not open source and thus is not included in this. You can flash this to get exFat working if it is not..

Screenshots

Thanks to Shabbypenguin for advice on defconfig and modules. Hope this helps someone, and if it did, use the Thanks button.

This will work if you didn't OTA?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattlgroff:
(Please don't quote the entire OP...)

Haven't tested on original firmware, only the OTA. Would be nice to have someone try it out and see.

EDIT: Original firmware now tested.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] djfreaq:
This is greek to me.

I know you're busy. But could you explain the advantage of having a "non-SetUID restricted kernel" and "don't want to flash the old boot.img"?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattlgroff:
"non-SetUID restricted kernel"

Being able to have root on the latest firmware.

"don't want to flash the old boot.img"

You can already root the latest firmware by running the ORIGINAL kernel that came with the phone.

Also, just updated OP tested on original firmware.

nice work man...

just curious if you ever tried to mee with clock speed on our s4s???? :D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jdom58:
Just got my s4 yesterday and have already done the OTA update, sorry if I'm being redundant here but just want to double check the procedure just to make sure I don't have any issues.

Do I root the phone using matt's " [INFO][HOWTO][ROOT] May 7th OTA - M919UVUAMDL" thread and after completion flash this kernel?

Thanks, just want to get it right the first time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ChadBFlores:
overclocked? thats what its comes with???:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattlgroff:
Yup.

HTC One comes with 1.7 Ghz, I thought ours was overclocked to 1.9?

That's one way to go about it, yes.

HTC One comes with 1.7 Ghz, I thought ours was overclocked to 1.9?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joemagistro:

I think our processor is slightly different (300 karit) even though they are both called snapdragon 600. I could be wrong.

M919

I just got my TMO Galaxy S4 sgh-m919 4 days ago

The day after i activated it an OTA hit and updated it before I could root.

I have been trying for 3 days to get this thing to root and all of the procedures fail.

You listed SuperSu and Superuser as two possible root apps and neither work. (yes I know this is not a rooting thread, but since your listed instructions don't work for this phone I thought someone reading this might point me in the right place)

I have tried with TWRP, CMW and OUDHS

I have tried with motochopper

I have tried applying the SetUIDRestricRemover.zip

I have reset to factory

The all fail with a signature error.

For the life of me I cannot get this thing to root.

One other interesting thing is that with all of the recovery mods I have to use a magnifying glass to read the options (install from internal or external storage, etc) The font is so tiny it is unbelievable.

Any help would really be appreciated.

From the About Device screen

model number- sgh-m919

andrioid version- 4.2.2

Baseband version- m919uvuamdl

kernel version- 3.4.0-453951 se.infra@sep-133 #1 Fri Apr 26 16:55:54 KST 2013

Build number - JDQ39.M919UVUAMDL

seSELinux status - permissive

I am in the developer options with debugging selected.

can you please send some guidance my way? I have found at least 20 variants of the instructions to root this M919, even after the TMO update, and none work for this phone.

Thanks

Mike
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattlgroff:
You get a signature error because you are flashing in stock recovery. Page 3 of the MDL root a post by k0nane explains how to properly boot custom recovery without it being overwritten.

But yes, wrong thread. The MDL root thread has the solutions to your problems rooting MDL.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RMXO:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AceCooper0506:
So after reading dozens of threads regarding the rooting options. Here is my conclusion on how to "safely" do it, please correct me if anything is wrong with my understanding of the whole thing.

So for the T-Mobile S4, doesn't matter if it's on the MDB or MDL kernel. I can just

1. Flash a custom recovery from one of the 3 options available (clockwork, twrp and OUDHS)

2. Flash this particular custom kernel

3. Flash a root zip from the 2 options available

Once all this is done, I should have root available, is all this correct?

Now I have another question, what about the at&t version of S4? I can't find much information on that one. And there are even threads talking about having to unlock the bootloader on the at&t S4 before you can flash a custom recovery? And what are the root options for the at&t S4, does it need a custom kernel as well for the MDL version? or does the Motochopper work out of the box on the MDL version?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yes, to your first question. that is correct.

in regards to your second question, i don't think anyone here is going to be able to help you much because you are in the T-Mobile threads and not the AT&T threads. i wish i could help but i personally don't know a whole lot about kernels themselves. motochopper no longer works for MDL.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] flipq88:
So does the exfat flasher work on any kernel or just this one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazaro17:
Somehow ended up here after following instructions on your other thread to root may 7 OTA but my wifi wouldn't turn on. Flashed this and now wifi is working + root. Thank you for your work! :good:

Edit: turns out my baseband stayed in MDB after updating to MDL which is what probably broke my WiFi to begin with. Looks like I will have to odin MDL again. Either way this fixed my WiFi but my ocd is kicking in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevoriole:

I had the OTA updates done when got the phone two days ago.

THANKS BIG TIME

Last test, flashed a modified kernel without the tmo restrictions,,,same results
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ronin4740:
Worked great for me. I wanted to try rooting this way as I'm having some bluetooth crashes with the other root method. Am curious to see if it's SuperUser or something else in the zip causing it or if it's just something in MDL that needs fixing. Other reason is that I purchased SuperSUPro and would rather use it.

Started off with a fresh install of MDL via Kies. Pushed CWM Touch recovery to phone with Odin set to not auto reboot. Pulled battery. Booted recovery. Flashed this kernel and Chainfire's SuperSU from ext sd card. Booted up and was good to go.

Creating base Nandroid now :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ibsscott:
I have installed the kernel on MDL and everything is working. Once rooted, can we go back to stock kernel or will that take away root? Triangle Away is not working with this kernel. If we can go back to stock kernel, where can I get that?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jerzyboy2421:
I think I've finally landed in a place to get an answer to my question. I flashed back to stock last night and my 64GB Sandisk micro SD card was recognized. I put a few files on there. Then I rooted using TWRP, flashed this kernel and SuperSU to root and now my external SD card won't mount. I noticed that you have an exFAT flash available. Can I just flash this now, even though I'm already root? That will alleviate my external SD card not being mounted? TWRP sees the card. When I boot into the OS, the card is recognized. I can try to "mount" it, but then see a "safely remove SD card" message, as if the card was unmounted instead of mounted.

So, just flash this exFAT file/zip and I'm good-to-go?? Or am I better off flashing the updated SetUID kernel for a cleaner configuration?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jc_hwz:
issues

Hi guys,

this Kernel has two major issues. I don't know whether your guys encounter or not:

1. When you got a missing call, you may got a lock screen error. (com.sec.android.app.keyguard has stopped.)

2. Triangle Away is not working in this Kernel.

So, my questions are raised.

1. is it another method to root the M919 in UVUAMDL firmware?

2. Can I flash the official Kernel back when I root the phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
I'm unsure of the issues you raised, but

CF-Auto-Root by Chainfire is another and primary method of Rooting.

Mounting Issue

I had similar issues with this kernel. I am unable to mount my phone's internal storage or external SD card to PC through USB. I'm on WICKED v4 which is a M919UVUAMDL ROM. I used this stock kernel: http://d-h.st/ddy for M919UVUAMDL in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2262729 and everything works fine now.

Edit: I just realized this kernel doesn't support exFat. I am using foldermount to fix the low storage problem. That may be the issue. I'll try flashing the fix to see if that works.

followed everthing and i always get `started with errors` the log shows failed in the 1st , 3rd and 4th fields counting down from the top.

so i have tried this tutioral http://highonandroid.com/android-app...niversal-guide

credits are given there to XDA

and everything starts fine without any errors , although i have yet to be able to see my ssid on any deivice i can never see the signal being brodcasted form my s4 to even try and connect to it.

i got the metropcs s4 , sgh-m919n (thought i was same as t-mobile (tim-lee-moble) unlimited $60 plan.

"LOOK OUT"

ps.the craziest thing happened i never seen this thing before , i did all this on my cell and then i tried to see if it would work on my girls s4(same plan) since it was not working on mine,

then all of a sudden her 32gb sd card was not able to be mounted and so i tried to read it on a old htc 4g ,with same results no sd card was present , but pheeeew the sd card was able to be read from a micro sd adapter to the computer but cant be read from any cell phone ever again! just a nice heads up because i have never seen this thing happen before after rooting :???:

its 3 am here i gotta crash out , besides she keep going on and on about how i almost broke her phone.LOL

this is weird because i did the same rooting process with odin on both phones (no sd card issue with mine and i got a 64gb card too) and hers had the problem with the 64gb san disk ultra sc external sd card only, nothing happened to the internal sd, and i put in a 32gb basic micro sd with out the ultra and sc lettering on it 5 minutes later after this happened and it reads it that sd card just fine.

fixed , san disk will get curropt with the s4 got a samsung one now , anyone looking for m919n stuff its here

Kernal Problem

Hey everyone. After installing the root zip I am having the kernel issue. I did download the kernel on the first page but I seem to be unable to install it as I keep getting an "unable to mount external sd" error and I can't boot my phone s I can't put the file on the internal storage. I tried using ADB but my computer is no longer recognizing my phone. I tried reinstalling the drivers but no luck. Does anyone know how I can get my phone to recognize the new kernel file?

Never mind I tried a smaller SD card and was able to install the kernel however the kernel posted did not work for me. I had to download a newer kitkat touchwiz kernel from June and am now up and running again but I lost root in the process.

I unlocked bootloader, rooted, and changed the ROM.

but, When i go to one of the DOCOMO shop (Japan) (because i want to use sony xperia ZL c6503 instead of s3 alpha) they said that there should be a japanese licence certification under the settings-> about phone -> legal information.

and i didn't have that on my ZL.idk if the rooting that cause it to disappear... so anyone knows how to get that back?

or at least a way that i can fake the license because i really want to use the ZL here.

i know that it supports the same center frequency (2100 MHz) (http://developer.sonymobile.com/2013/01/24/lte-coverage-for-xperia-smartphones/)

or is there any other way i could use DOCOMO sim with Xperia ZL?

Okay guys I made a new app called gomp3. It is free, so try it out download it and let me know how it works please. You can set as ring tone, listen, share the music and so much more. Since I am a new member I can not post links to outside the forum. But go to the google play store and search gomp3 should be the first app that pops up. I just need some feed back on it.
[Android Apps and Games] spitfire55:
Will look at it and give some feedback.

After download: Great way to download mp3s for free! Really like the simplicity. A few critiques:

1. Not sure if the music is acquired legally or not. Hopefully Google keeps it up on the Play Store because it reminds me of TV Portal and that got removed.

2. Holos themed UI is becoming more and more popular so implementing that would be nice.

3. My first download failed halfway through (my fault, Wifi issues with Nexus 7), and when I retry the download status bar keeps flickering from where I left off previously to its current restart position. It downloaded fine and everything seemed functional. Also the dual download is kind of annoying, not sure why it downloads twice. Glad part of it can be put in the background though.

Will definitely continue to use as long as the songs work and I can find what I need. Has a lot of potential (as long as it stays legal)
