I have root

Thanks broodplank1337

download the root that "broodplank1337" made

and put it in "C:\adb\sdk\platform-tools" (this is my adb.exe folder)

Download ClockworkMod 6.0.3.3 NORMAL from below

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2359132&highlight=recovery

aka Miustone_CWM_flash-NORMAL.zip

extract the recovery.img to the folder "C:\adb\sdk\platform-tools"

Now open up a command prompt (I did this as "run as administrator")

type "cd C:\adb\sdk\platform-tools" (or what ever the directory you extract your files)

enter this command

adb reboot bootloader <enter>

Once in bootloader,

In the command prompt type:

fastboot boot recovery.img (this takes 1min to load after the file is sent)

This will boot into ClockworkMod

goto "install zip"

goto "install zip from sideload"

in the cmd type

adb sideload root.zip

This sends to the phone and write to the phones Rom.

Now reboot and we have root without ODIN on a I9505G

BTW my file was missing busybox in the xbin i was playing around with "CWM-SuperSU.zip" as a base

It is kind of late so i may have missed some things in this write up.

Now off to the system dump.

I will repost this later as a new post to keep this clean.
[Galaxy S 4 General] warwolfx0:
ok i had some issues with viewing the files on the phone

i moved them to the sdcard and then pulled them off the card on my pc using a "sd to usb"

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 of=/storage/extSdCard/dump/boot.img bs=4096

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27 of=/storage/extSdCard/dump/hidden.img bs=4096

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 of=/storage/extSdCard/dump/param.bin bs=4096

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 of=/storage/extSdCard/dump/recovery.img bs=4096

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/storage/extSdCard/dump/system.img bs=4096

Is there any other mmcblk0p i should backup

and is there any issues with posting this info on this forum

so far this only has root

i did notice that clockworkmod did give me access to root but i couldn't find the sd card while fastbooting it.

I don't think that the whole bootloader is part of what i backup, I thought there was a sbl.bin that i need too.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dublinz:
can you please upload your system dump , thank you mate
[Galaxy S 4 General] hisname:
I maybe wrong in this, but I have played with fastboot on my ex HTC device. the proper command to flash recovery is

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

the proper command to flash kernel is

fastboot flash boot boot.img

with

fastboot boot recovery.img

, the recovery isn't permanent. it will be only be there for the current session. after rebooting, the stock recovery will overwrite the custom recovery. the same goes to kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 General] donovanbrock:
NONE of this would pull anything of relation from the I9505G (except System - mmcblk0p16) as our partitions layout is completely different. And more so, it would softbrick your 9505 if you tried flashing.

Check out here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2360346 - for a system dump from the i9505G. It has SYSTEM/BOOT/RECOVERY. Param and Hidden are both empty on our phones. This has already been used a couple times to cook roms for other S4 devices.
[Galaxy S 4 General] warwolfx0:
Since my backup might mess people up i am not going to post it.

but as a backup i will make a full backup of all the mmcblk0pxx file

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0pxx of=/storage/extSdCard/dump/mmcblk0pxx.img bs=4096

i think there is like 20 files

[Galaxy S 4 General] ack154:
Just wanted to point out an alternative to downloading the SDK stuff from Google to get ADB/fastboot. I haved used this Minimal ADB and Fastboot installer and it works perfectly. You'll still need the Samsung driver package but this really simplifies getting the tools from Google.

[Galaxy S 4 General] x111:
when I run command "fastboot oem unlock", Windows CMD writes "< waiting for device >" and nothing going to happened.

Why, and fix? pls.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Chahk:
Re-install USB drivers with the phone hooked up, while in fastboot mode.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dryspuri:
do u have link for drivers!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Chahk:
It's the same drivers as in OP. You may need to force the PC to use them in Device Manager by finding the phone (probably "SAMSUNG" with an exclamation point) and doing Update Driver --> Browse Computer --> Pick from list --> Have disk --> and point it to where you downloaded the drivers.
[Galaxy S 4 General] x111:
thank you, now it works, Next step CM Rom ))
[Galaxy S 4 General] toanau:
Is it necessary to unlock the boot loader. I have been flashing different ROM on GE phone with no problem. I am just trying to learn what is the purpose of this. Also do I have to do anything different to flash between CM mod 10.1 to 10.2 beside doing a full wipe
[Galaxy S 4 General] bleez99:
I am wondering myself. Never did it, never had any issues rooting, flashing through Odin, etc...
[Galaxy S 4 General] toanau:
Do u use mobile Odin or just regular Odin. Also just wondering if u need to change the modem when flashing cm 20.2
[Galaxy S 4 General] bleez99:
I just use regular Odin. I wouldn't change the modem, the modem provided with the I9505G is designed to work with AT&T and T-Mobile. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] toanau:
I am having data issue. R u on MFD modem or HMI modem. Also r u on 4.3 base rom
[Galaxy S 4 General] bleez99:
I'm on the MH1 modem. I started over with stock 4.2.2 and applied the OTA from the external card.

When dialog fails, it's time for violence.
[Galaxy S 4 General] bleez99:
I am now using cm 10.2 but that won't update your modem. That's a deliberate act. If Google does another 4.3 release for the GE and users report better performance I'll consider updating mine if someone harvests it from the update. I'm getting great LTE performance out of what's on my phone now. I can get 24Mb down with a strong signal. Not too shabby.

When dialog fails, it's time for violence.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Awais:
all went goood

but when i enter command fastboot oem unlock

[Galaxy S 4 General] dratsablive:
First try adb devices You should see your phone listed. If you see nothing, then problem is your USB drivers are not set up properly.
[Galaxy S 4 General] wilbarger:
If you don't see your device, one easy way to load drivers is to simply connect your phone to a different USB port. It will load the drivers automatically for you.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Awais:
yup that worked like a charm

thx
[Galaxy S 4 General] dratsablive:
I was under the impression that the I9505G I got from Google already had an unlocked bootloader. I don't have KNOX, SELinux installed, and after using CF-Root, I was able to install Goo Manager and then TWRP. Doesn't that mean the bootloader is unlocked?
[Galaxy S 4 General] dy_domyoung:
Ive been trying to update my baseband/modem for months, I am currently stuck on MEA, and I can not update it either through Heimdall or Odin.

So I decided to look into this. I have spent hours looking and searching and nothing. Then I thought it could be my bootloader. So I attempted to try and unlock it. I follow all the steps but get stuck with <waiting for device>. I have done 'adb devices' which does list a device, my device.

I have uninstalled the driver around 34 times and rebooted my Pc around 15.

Does anyone have any ideas for either of my issues, I would love some help, Thank you

[Galaxy S 4 General] jahrule:
I am wondering the same thing.

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

For everyone having this issue:

From linux (use ubuntu if you have no idea), you need to run fastboot with elevated privileges.

sudo fastboot oem unlock
[Galaxy S 4 General] dratsablive:
I thought the I9505G had an unlocked bootloader to begin with.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Chahk:
It is unlockable without having to resort to exploits, but ships in the locked state.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jahrule:
What are the consequences or benefits of having it locked vs unlocked? As of now I have a custom ROM and recovery but bootload is locked.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Chahk:
Having your bootloader locked has the benefit of the phone not allowing flashing of a different recovery image without having to wipe the device. You could theoretically unlock the bootloader, flash CWM/TWRP, flash CM, flash stock recovery back, lock the bootloader. Now anyone attempting to get at your data can't simply flash a different ROM or recovery image.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dratsablive:
Well I was able to install this ROM I9505GUEUBLM4_Full_Rooted, then installed TWRP (Using ODIN) without unlocking the bootloader first.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jahrule:
Same
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mystique:
If you wanted to run something like 'SlimSaberKat' you will need the bootloader unlocked.

Running the GPE rom with a custom (alucard_24) kernel, does not need an unlocked bootloader.

[Motorola Atrix HD] aquaticbullet:
Hi,

1. So i was on xenon HD and started experiencing touch sensitivity issues where in lock screen did not respond or opened up google now instead of unlocking.

2. So I thought of switch over and flashed PAC and was really satisfied as I also got my GPS working. But the very next day it started to behave unusually and the home button of navbar kept on activating all by itself hence taking me out of any app or even app drawer.

Thought of it as ROM issue and decided would flash the latest version sometime later as my net was down.

3. Used liquidsmooth but the same problem of intermittent home button and back button too started and I had to switch off the phone within 5 minutes of flshing liquidsmooth.

4. Finally thought of getting 4.1.2 and hence flashed holoblur. By this time navbar went numb :crying:. Didn't respond to anything.

5. Restored to the stock ROM. But still navbar is not working.

Just hoping that this is not hardware related issue:fingers-crossed:. Would really hate to part away from this phone.

Please help out guys.

EDIT : So the navbar just started responding by itself. But still not perfect. Sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Aingaran:
Try using xperiamod and by the way holoblur is 4.1.2 not 4.2.1
[Motorola Atrix HD] aquaticbullet:
My bad.

Flashed xperiamod but still same thing.

The phone is really not usable. All the navbar buttons are behaving frantically. I really cant understand what is wrong. :confused:
[Motorola Atrix HD] Aingaran:
may be a hardware error, contact your nearest store to fix it, before that flash stock and flash boot logo too, so untill they check the bootloader, they might not know your bootloader is unlocked... :P
[Motorola Atrix HD] aquaticbullet:
I am in delhi.

This phone has not been launched in India. Hoping local guys could fix it. Really wont like to pay those leech for some software bug which i can fix up with community's help.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Completely flash a stock fast boot. Issue could be kernel related. If the issue persists after a fully wiped stock flash this is a hardware issue. As is, issue sounds more like either bad settings from dirty flashing or kernel issues. The stock ROMs don't come with kernels, if your last 4.2.2 ROM had a bad kernel, same bad kernel is more than likely being used. I recommend flashing Mex Retail.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Aingaran:
Holoblur has a clean full working kernal right?
[Motorola Atrix HD] aquaticbullet:
The navbar works fine sometimes before again going into madmode. So i really doubt it is a hardware issue.

[MENTION=5162253]Aingaran[/MENTION] : Holoblur has custom kernel http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43430196&postcount=131

[MENTION=4487948]skeevydude[/MENTION] : I need to follow the instructions mentioned here for stock JB ? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2226527 OR simply use myth tools to flash the mexican retail rom zip ?

(:facepalm: for asking this but is there anything else i need to do ?? )
[Motorola Atrix HD] aquaticbullet:
So flashed the stock but same issue. Now the particular strip of the touchscreen where navbar rests has totally become unresponsive. Hence hardware is at fault here.

So flashed PAC ver 23 and using pie controls as of now as a temporary solution. Would try and get it repaired during weekend. [MENTION=5162253]Aingaran[/MENTION] : I guess I need to change screen and digitizer. Since you broke yours can you gimme rough idea how much it will cost ?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Aingaran:
Yup.. Its just digitizer LCD panel is fine if you get display... And the kit for replacing digitizer cost me 3770 rs... You can search on ebay.in and don't forget to get T5 screw driver and digitizer sticker to stick digitizer to frame...
[Motorola Atrix HD] aquaticbullet:
Okie. So I am gonna order it soon. Did you get the digitizer replaced by yourself or through a repair shop ?

Asking because here in delhi noone even touches motorola phones for repair sake. :(
[Motorola Atrix HD] Aingaran:
I did it myself and if u wanna know how.. Just search atrix HD digitizer replacement in YouTube
[Motorola Atrix HD] aquaticbullet:
So basically I have to get this http://orders.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ImportHubViewItem&itemid=321142293549

This is inclusive of t5 screw right ??

There is no mention of what I am gonna get in the tool kit. Do I need to order something else ?

yes this exactly what you need...

[HTC Desire S] dykhatri:
I don't know whether to ask it here or not.

Want to know that is there any way of hiding the apps and folder other then putting period(.) before file name or folder

I want to do it parametrically I just want to know the way or anyidea about it other then above one

I am working on app which is password protected and have to take care that hidden files once hidden that are even not visible to root users without that application.

So it here any way of doing this in external memory card.

Please provide me with solution or coding reference if you have.
[HTC Desire S] asgardr:
When we speak about media files:

an empty < no media > file, in a folder,

ussualy solves the problem of visibility, for other-media focused-on board apps,

I presume is not what you have in mind,

The ussual way-the apps are protecting their data-in windows for example,

is to create their own file format, like: .cpt, .dat, etc...

Files on an external sdcard are recognised by the strings to them,

and thus known to the index...

but when you remove those strings,

you ussualy destroy also the files structure

although he files themselves still do exist...

In my humble opinion, only the separate,encrypted partition on an sdcard,

along with internal file format, may provide

efficient level of security that you seek for your app...

There surely always will be an app, able to see hidden contents,

especially on removable media,

but to be able to see it- is one thing,

and the ability to read its contents- is a completely different story...
[HTC Desire S] dykhatri:
What you have said makes seance to me sir but I forgot to mention here that I am only taking about android mobile OS specially. I am making application specially for android mobiles.I am not concern about another whether i can be display in PC or not that is not my concern.

can you have any idea for that
[HTC Desire S] asgardr:
1.there is always a possibility that something hidden locally- on board of your device-

could be found through a computer connection,

so if you wanted app sensitive data to be secure, this aspect should also be taken into consideration...

2. windows is just an example:

some dependancies are similar throughout many other systems- just because they work as expected...

An internal file format and file encription is to be found in some of the android apps as well
