The original post in this thread desperately needs to change to say clearly that it should ONLY be used with a MDK bootloader.

It can be easily interpreted as working on anything but ME7, which is wrong.

You need to start with reading the General forum, especially this sticky thread. And, in the Q&A forum, this thread.

You can't install a custom recovery. You can't install Cyanogen and AOSP. You can only use Safestrap and Safestrap-compatible ROMs on your phone.

Please don't follow anything that you find that doesn't say explicitly that it's compatible with the MK2 build.

this doesn't work on kitkat?

Nope....

I'm on the MDK baseband and have had an "unlocked" bootloader for over a year now, my recovery is oudhs cwm, can I use this tool to switch it to twrp or should i just not mess with it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
No, Read the post just above yours. This only works if you have the MDK bootloader.

[MENTION=4456099]bhp090808[/MENTION] - can you please fix the original post to make it clear that this doesn't apply past MDK?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cognitivedissonance:
Sorry for bumping this old thread, but does this 'all in one' tool do everything that this manual method does? Obviously I'd prefer to use this method if they accomplish exactly the same thing, but if not, I'd rather just take the time and do it manually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rizapn:
Not exactly the same.

But yes, you can root your phone using this "all-in-one" tools (and in my opinion) in an easier way. You just need to fire the run_me command (after extracting the zip file and open the command-prompt), follow the step or input the choice whenever it is asked, and you're DONE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thejerkk:
nvm figured it out, was updated.

i want to use this method although whe i plug in my s4 to laptop it stays in usb debug mod efor 10-20 seconds then automatically switches to media storage..

i have tried different cable, usb port and even different laptop

how can i make it stayin debug mode?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RavenII:
I found this as a folder on an old assed virtual machine. I'm almost positive it's complete, but it was zipped from a folder...otherwise, I certainly didn't alter/touch any of the files myself. The only thing that might be is a missing file...but I doubt it.

I ended up using it myself, last night and it worked fine. So, it's definitely complete.

Your in luck!

I happened to have this file, set aside on my backup drive, with other files deciding whether or not to archive or delete.

I just uploaded it to the following link from my File Host Account.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903984007

I've got no plans to remove it unless I needed to for some reason but, most of what I uploaded to the File Host Account is rarely removed anyways.

Please don't ask me regarding support for this project because I haven't used this in about 2 +/- years. I believe that the developer had abandoned this project/thread a year or so ago.

Enjoy! :)

<ID:0/011> Added!!

<OSM> Enter c5 for md5

<OSM> Check md5...do not unplug the cable

<OSM> Please wait.....

And then nothing. I've had to battery pull to get the phone back running. Supersu seems to work, but i'm not certain what's going on
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Salvation27:
Instructions:

Download zip file

Unzip on desktop

Connect phone with USB debugging enabled

Click RUN_ME

Pick option and go!!

Have patience it takes a few for cpu to see phone after reboots and in Odin

dont disconnect phone until process is complete

So do Step 1- wait

Do Step 2- wait

Then what else?

New to Odin/ Samsung. Rooted HP Touchpad, etc before
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Reginald476:
Do 3 or 4 based on preference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Salvation27:
Ok-sweet- I'm used to CWM and not TWRP.

Are BOTH touch-based now? Or is TWRP still the only one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Reginald476:
It's touch enabled, this post is what BHP090808 uses.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Scott:
Yeah, no biggie but I knew I clicked CWM and it said twrp so I was like...

"Damn... I Must be getting old!"

That minimal typo aside; you did a great job with this tool! I hate doing things manually, lol :highfive:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Wow! Doesn't get much easier then that. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jondoyle24:
first and foremost thnx for doing this!!

i thought i was the only moron who couldnt get this to work for a while..had some weird issues during install.

i followed directions perfectly... but after an hour i finally figured it out. along the way it would go so far and than say adb not present, or device not present.. it would pass 1,2,3+ steps than an issue.

i realized the phone with debugging turned on, would switch from Installer mode to media device RIGHT when the issues would happen..

so i literally baby sat it along the way and right before each step id uncheck debug, and recheck and push enter. if it wasnt fast enough than it would switch back automatically to media device and interupt the process.

anyone ever hear of this??? ive rooted, romed, etc about 12+ phones and never had this happen before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 0reo:
Search my username. I was just having s similar problem today. I posted what I thought was the solution for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jondoyle24:
hot damn.. thats EXACTLY what i was having. so it was a computer/driver type issue. man, i was pulling my hair out. lol

thank you very much and im going to do that tomorrow morning to get everything situated on the laptop. i appreciate the help!!

with all this said - it seems like the S4 might actually be easier to tweak than my Galaxy Nexus.. excited for the future is an understatement!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bhp090808:
I believe the little pop up that shows up on your phone that asks if you want to give your pc permissions happens at the first adb command. It did when I first rooted my phone. It has an option for always accept. After clicking that I never had issue. Let me see if I can add scriot and directions in that might make this go a little smoother. Any feedback is appreciated
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CharliesTheMan:
I just got done helping a user, he didn't check always allow and i had hell forcing it to pop back up for a full connection.

I started the oden 3 pda tar, process, and phone hasn't rebooted its been about 8 to 10 minutes. Is that normal? I've read most of the thread but still reading I'm sure it's been mentioned I just haven't gotten to the post yet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bhp090808:
Did you uncheck auto reboot in odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CharliesTheMan:
Edit still having an issue. Everything adb wise I can think to test seems to work right and show a solid connection. Phone reboots to downloading, im not sure if the message box is important.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CharliesTheMan:
Well BHP if you saw the first reply it was wrong so I edited it, posting here in case that's how you follow the thread
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
I just have two questions for all who have rooted their s4 and used this tool kit. I am coming from a galaxy nexus (which I will never get rid of since I have had the best rooted experience yet) and am tempted to root my new s4 but :

1. Can anyone confirm they can get Google wallet working after rooting using this tool kit?

2. Can I transfer my data to computer from my rooted nexus and transfer to my s4? I read somewhere that reinstalling apps and data using Tibu will crash your phone due to the stock kernel.

Thanks for the reply all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] carbanm:
Excellent! Tool works on OSX Mountain Lion using Parallels and windows 7!!

Great tool!

Ran on parallels just perfectly. This phone is so much better once you get rid of all of the bloatware!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bhp090808:
You did hit start right? If it doesnt reboot on its own after its done manually reboot by holding power down until it reboiys then continue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CharliesTheMan:
This I think might be the ticket. I just wanted to double check. I appreciate your help. Now that I know the manual reboot and continue is ok, in the morning I'll give that a shot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tedescop:
If you are still having a problem try running the Odin manually as Administrator. Then complete the rest with the script.
