1. Download new firmware update from http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SHV-E300S - choose the topmost file for the latest firmware - unzip the file until you get the ".tar.md5" file

2. If you have Samsung Kies, update it to the newest version. But I suggest you just download the latest Samsung USB drivers and install them from here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2038555

3. Download Odin 3.04 here - http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1954816&d=1368307196 - unzip the file

4. Download Cofface's CWM 6.0.3.2 V3 here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2262110 - unzip and you will get .tar file

5. Download Chainfire's SuperSU v1.30 here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 - Copy this file directly into the phone's memory, no need to unzip... you'll find out why

6. Make sure your phone is fully charged to avoid headaches later. Put the phone in download mode: Turn your phone off, then press buttons at the same time - [Volume Down] + [Home] + [Power] then press [Volume Up] when the Korean screen appears

7. Run Odin 3.04 in your computer

8. Connect the phone with your computer using the USB cord provided and wait for the first left rectangle below the box to have the light blue color and a message (something like COM)

9. Press PDA in Odin 3.04 and choose the tar.md5 file from the samsung firmware update first. Make sure Re-Partition is NOT CHECKED. It's better to leave those checks alone from default. Press Start. Wait for the flashing to finish... it will take around 10 to 30 minutes... depending on computer speed maybe. You can see the progress in the text box. Your phone will reboot afterwards... disconnect your phone then. Congrats, you are now updated to the newest firmware

10. Put the phone in download mode again. Run Odin in your computer and connect phone to PC again.

11. Press PDA then choose the .tar file of the Cofface CWM V3. Press Start. Your phone reboots again. Disconnect from the PC. I dunno if this applies to anyone else, but my phone rebooted directly into the CWM. Choose to install zip file from SD Card or Phone Memory, whichever you saved the Chainfire's SuperSU zip file. If you didn't go into CWM, shut down your phone and press [Volume Up] + [Home] + [Power] to go to CWM

12. After flashing the SuperSU zip file using CWM, choose to reboot your phone from the CWM menu.

13. Congrats. You're rooted. This is the method that worked for me.

EDIT: I think you can bypass Chainfire's SuperSU by choosing to root from CWM. But I guess I did it the longer way. :D

P.S. If I forgot something, anyone who noticed, please just inform me. This is a rush job. Thank you. ^_^

and Guys..

Please read instructions.

you should update to ME7 stock firmware before flashing rom.

After rom installed, don't touch anything. please!

locked-up is caused when you flashed older kernel than firmware build number.

Keep it up the latest, everything!
[Galaxy S 4 General] vmagic:
I have a question

why can not find firmware from samsung-updates, sammobile.com, ... for SHV-E300L ??

[Galaxy S 4 General] soundping:
If you've done a backup. Just restore.

Sent from soundping's SHV-E300S slick mofo.
[Galaxy S 4 General] aslak89:
the kernel is only for ME6 firmware.

since supersu updated, no more need to flash root kernel.

just flash supersu zip on cwm recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 General] GalaxyNexusPH:
restored my ME6 nandroid backup and it doesn't reboot.

I restored ME6 via CWM. Should I re-install the ME7? Could it be that I'm using ChengLu's CWM instead of Cofface's thats causing the reboot? All I know is thatI I've always used koush's CWM before this.
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
Update your phone through kies first and tgen flash tge me7 rom tgat you had downloaded.
[Galaxy S 4 General] GalaxyNexusPH:
I installed the rooted ME6 kernel and kies detects it as modified and doesn't allow update. Is there a way to bypass this? I don't know where to download the original kernel
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
Kies should let you update because I was rooted and everything when I did mine. Just install Kies on your computer and then hook your phone up to it. When it says there is an update, accept it. It will take a good minute for it to finish, just don't mess with your phone or unplug it until it completes. It will give you a warning talking about how it is modified and it may cause it to fail, but just ignore that and continue the update.

4G ok. 3G ok. but HSDPA+??

I own this model since 2 weeks now and i'm still wondering why i have no HSDPA+?? i'm stay stucked to 3G (10Mb), have no HSDPA(21mb) or HSDPA+ (42mb).

And i feel that it's the phone which limit to 3G because it's thinking i'm in roaming while i got my SIMcard and get connected to My Mobile operator network.

Anyone have something else than GSM , 3G or 4G with the model E300S?

The problem is that 4G is very rare where i live and HSDPA+ is already good until 4G will arrive everywhere.
[Galaxy S 4 General] darkrance:
You could just update to official ME7 using Odin. It's the same thing, really. Kies is a bit more complicated with all the authentication and stuff.

ptheabstract

so did you try any of it ??? will they work in russia ???

and by the way how to see exact changes in that roms ????
[Galaxy S 4 General] ptheabstract:
Nope... Haven't tested any yet... Still haven't been able to download a non corrupted version of that "fix all" ROM .... Maybe I'll try using a download manager.

I'll post a mirror on here if I ever get it :s

... And the ROM shouldn't change whether or not it works in Russia. It all depends on your carrier's operating band -- I would imagine that these ROMs don't change the radio firmware...

Sure! Check this out galaxys4root[dot]com/galaxy-s4-root-faq

also, remember if you are using a phone bought in America, it has to be Quadband and Unlocked to use in south korea... I had that issue one time when i was stationed at osan on a temporary duty.

Peace!

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:18 PM ----------

Yeah flash ND1 and then do spapa. Philztouch is a touch version of CWM recovery. It will make flashing the Spapa patches easier

thank you! ive already installed it and it works perfect. if it wasnt for you I wasnt able to get this spapa. anyway, do you have any rom for shve300k like cyanogenmod?
[Galaxy S 4 General] 2ndcarpenter:
I've tried them and I wasn't pleased. No version of cyanogen mod fully works on our phones. I even tried the build that the Koreans released on matcl.com. There is always issues with sd cards. Sometimes cameras are upside down. Rotation is backwards. Not that its important but DMB isn't supported. That was the reason I keep a copy of the apk in that folder. Matcl is where I 1st encountered Spapa. I was always pleased with his work. He has always worked on SKT 'S' phones but a lot of his stuff would work on either S or K models. I was surprised yet pleased he realesed this with both versions available. Im glad your phone is ip and running again.

THANKYOU IN ADVANCE
[Galaxy S 4 General] 2ndcarpenter:
This is almost the same as the last post only this time it is in CAPS. My previous device was the K model. I stil have it and it is rooted. I had a hsrd time flashing the recovery. Out of cofface and chenglu one of them worked and one didn't. I cant tell you for sure which it was. I also had to try flashing it about 3 times.(with Odin) there are plenty of guides in this thread that point you to both recoveries and tell you step by step how to root the phone. I always use SuperSu. I prefer it over superuser. MAKE SURE WHATEVER YOU TRY FLASHING TO THAT PHONE, IS COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR MODEL. If you make the mistake of flashing S with K or K with S you are ok. But if you make that mistake with your phone you might not be so lucky. I reacall seeing a few folks in here with L models but most of us have S and K. Searth this thread for them and read what they did. You can also try getting google chrome and going to matcl.com. Other than that it looks like you are SOL. BTW typing in caps doesn't change anyone knowing the answer.
[Galaxy S 4 General] aldrinallanigue:
thank you for that great information. Every now and then I was trying to look for custom roms that is compatible with our device until you said that no other roms are compatible with the s4 variant I owned. Well thank you for helping me. and if you don't mind me asking, which rom from spapa are you using?
[Galaxy S 4 General] badpixel:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53471698

I have the e300l and currently use the rom from the post linked above. It was difficult to download but i somehow got it.

i rooted my phone some time before. I don't remember if chenglu or cofface worked and i had to experiment a little. Every info i had was here in this thread.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S 4 General] 2ndcarpenter:
I'm using the same one as I referred you to. I just play with my S4 now. I have an S5 as my primary phone. It seems like I first discovered Matcl, and Spapa when I had my Galaxy Note(SHV E160K), there is always useful information there, and little custom packs that other developers make as well. Skins, and all types of appearance mods. The best thing to do is use Google Chrome, so that it can translate it for you. It isn't perfect but it translates it well enough to get an idea of what is being said.
[Galaxy S 4 General] aldrinallanigue:
yes. I was able to understand when I used google chrome for it was being translated in english. thanks to chrome. and by the way, is shv-e300k an octa core? and an lte? how do I configure my phone so that it activates my lte.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jumjunm:
shv-e300s

you can download vroot from google and install supersu from google stor
[Galaxy S 4 General] 2ndcarpenter:
it is the exynos 5 octa-core. it does have LTE. the hidden menus will get you to the settings, where you can check it, but I'm thinking it is already enabled, it just may not have the right radios or your area. In this link I'm gonna post has instructions how to get to the hidden menus. And for every one else trying to root, this is also how I have been rooting my S4 since June of last year.

SPAPA Stable Version (a/o 9/13/2014)

For your information, the new stable version can be downloaded from http://spapa1004.tistory.com/212.

I was intrigued by your comments regarding the SPAPA ROM and have been toying with the idea of flashing it. My E300S's firmware is currently stock NG7 (rooted). I gather from SPAPA's blog (using Google translator) that his Special Packs are flashed on ND1. Is there any risk to flashing them on NG7? If so, is there any problem with flashing ND1 over NG7?

Thanks.

Thank you for informing about the new stable version. the link of the last version is the same link that I'm gonna be downloading and also the special pack fix, with the two of them with the same file name, should I download them both? or the special pack fix remains unchanged? well I'm very curious If I'm downloading the right one.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Yaoshi_2000:
Actually, it's a different link.

The link above takes you to a window where ... when you scroll down approximately halfway ... you'll see 4 download options. Each option will download the same file entitled "GalaxyS4_E300S&K_ND1_S5-Pack(140913)-Stable_Final". That's the final version. Now ... there's no need to download "GalaxyS4_E300S&K_ND1_SpecialPack_Fix.zip" and "GalaxyS4_E300S&K_ND1_SpecialPack_20140628_(by_Spapa).zip" from the http://spapa1004.tistory.com/202 link since there's a final version.

This phone is just amazing... octa, bigLITTLE, and 4g ^^

i did a lot of research etc... there is no real custom rom for it :(

any way i will provide at least 2 rom for E300x soon :)

best move will be to go with cyanogenmod or paranoid but i have to recompile the kernel etc... a lot of work

any one find a Cyanogenmod/aokp/paranoid working kernel for our s4 ?

Note at least i will provide for sure a new version of my s4 rom to e300x

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46363550 this version should work on the e300x just install a stock 4.2.2 kernel before

to any wifi connection, i just updated to 4.4.2 kitkat if that helps,

im a little familiar with root, but just to customize something,

and any guides on what to do with it? whats with the custom roms?
[Galaxy S 4 General] 2ndcarpenter:
This guy http://spapa1004.tistory.com/m/post is your best bet for the e300s. He's korean and is pretty good with the S4. Also you might want check out matcl.com its a korean cellphone development site. Use google chrome and you can have the page automatically translated from korean to your language. As for the wifi, search this thread for the 'hidden menu' you can get to the detailed wifi settings there. Worst case you can always wipe cache and factory reset in recovery mode.
