I bought my Active in cash for 440 euro and with 3 year legal warranty.But stock 4.2.2 is so laggy and stupid and pissed me out.I want to root it and flash some .4.4.2 custom but only,only if Im sure to may return to stock and use warranty.It have too many problems with water damaged phones,flappy usb covers and other.For these reasons I want to keep warranty.

"....But I found also that : http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/...99L0044:FR:NOT (choose your language by the links in the tab). This European directive says that a constructor CAN'T VOID our legal warranty of 1 or 2 years if we change the software part of our item (terminal as tab, laptop... here smart phone..."

This may be very very important.I look into it deeper.

Has anyone tried to root the latest 4.2.2 firmware for S4 Active i9295, namely I9295XXUBML3?

Chainfire Autoroot is detected by that frickin' Knox, which makes the phone unusable.

Kingoroot doesn't work either.

Does anybody know a working method?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] vennon!:
The last is BNC2 according samsung-updates: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9295

The normal file that I've been used doesn't work with this firmware version, so i tryed the file that is for the 4.4.2 versions (Kitkat) and worked! (DOWNLOAD HERE) The only thing i did is install manually super su from the Google Play and all done! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] patzyalex:
BNC2 is for New Zealand only, for specific network reasons I think.

Anyway, for my European needs, BML3 is ok.

Which file are you referring to, CF-Auto-Root? For S4 9505 you mean? Because S4 9295 didn't get KitKat yet.

So you pushed it through Odin and then separately installed SuperSU, which should have been installed by CF-Auto-Root?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] spamtrash:
so far, saferoot is properly recognizing and disabling the KNOX without tripping it for all i9295 firmwares.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] patzyalex:
Thanx for the tip, I'll try saferoot :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Saalschlacht:
I'm interested if everything worked according to your requirements?

Gesendet von meinem aktiven GT-I9295... ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] patzyalex:
Actually, after installing the newer 4.2.2, I flashed CWM and from there (recovery) I flashed SuperSU_v1.94.zip and I got root.

I didn't need to try Saferoot anymore.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Saalschlacht:
Ok, I rooted my S4A with same method. I tried safestrap, but i couldn't create a rom-slot... xD

Gesendet von meinem aktiven GT-I9295... ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] patzyalex:
Could safestrap work for i9295? Hmmm.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Saalschlacht:
I tried SAFESTRAP-JFLETATT-ACTIVE-3.65.apk

Isn't the right? Tried to use it on 4.2.2 stock rom...

Gesendet von meinem aktiven GT-I9295... ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] patzyalex:
Yeah but, you see, "JFLETATT" itself says that the phone needs to be "ATT" (namely AT&T version), aka i537.

The rest of us free people, with unlocked bootloaders, use i9295. You do too. So no wonder safestrap didn't work.

That is the reason I was so intrigued...
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
SafeStrap is written specifically for each device it is used on. It is expecting to find certain files in specific locations. You are going to have to make a request to [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] to make a version compatible for the i9295. One of the limitations of SafeStrap is that any ROMs you want to install in a ROM slot must use the same kernel as your stock ROM, so it is very limited in that respect. For us i537 users it means that we can only use TouchWiz-based ROMs on the same version of android (4.2.2, 4.3, or 4.4.2) as our stock ROM.

If you simply looking to have 2 ROMs on your phone have you looked at Dual Booting the i9295? It is definitely a better option because you can have different kernels for different ROMs. Dual booting the i9295 if far superior to using SafeStrap, is there something in particular you want to use SafeStrap for?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] patzyalex:
Thanx 4 the info.

I don't need safestrap, I was just intrigued [MENTION=5762665]Saalschlacht[/MENTION] because I've never heard of anyone with i9295 using it, especially since there are better options 4 this handset.

Dual booting, as u say, is one of them. I, for one, used it for 2 months, but eventually got sick of the Touchwiz hog and wiped it out. Great option for testing ROMs, that one.

Having i9295 compatible CWM, we can do a lot of stuff, even if there aren't many dedicated ROMs. I'm sticking with the unofficial CM11, it works gr8 4 me.
[MENTION=5762665]Saalschlacht[/MENTION] wanted to root his newer firmware of i9295 and, to that effect, tried to use safestrap :D

I was a little intrigued...
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] R_AL_Sim:
i'm confused can you root and install cwm rom just by simply downloading the rom and booting into recovery and flashing the rom zip then install the super su zip to get full root and a custom rom straight from 4.2.2 without any other actions like safestrap or saferoot

thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] patzyalex:
You're killing me with that phrase, man, I don't really understand what you're saying.

So I'll just say what I did:

- I installed/updated the stock 4.2.2 firmware to the latest version available. For that there are multiple methods.

- I used Odin to push CWM to the device in Download mode.

- I used the newly installed CWM to flash SuperSU_v1.94.zip, which you can easily find around.

- I was now rooted and could do many things to the device.

- There was no need for me to use Saferoot anymore, so I didn't.

- As [MENTION=3047491]Devo7v[/MENTION] clearly pointed out (and I totally agree), there is no Safestrap for i9295 (only for the American variant - i537) and even if there were, its benefits would've been much lower than the benefits of properly rooting your phone.

- If you don't wanna waste your time with Sammy crap, don't use SuperSU_v1.94.zip after installing CWM, you can get straight to installing the zip of your favorite ROM, after a) wiping data/factory reset, b) wiping cache partition and c) wiping dalvik cache, in order to have a clean flash.

That's all.

Hi,

Im trying to root my S4 Active i9295 using kingoapp, but theres a message that appears during the rooting that it will definitely void my warranty if I continue (though its not the same message as you said in your post) so I decided to cancel it. I did a quick research about knox and checked to see if I've triggered it or not by using phone info-Samsung v1.8.5. from playstore. When I checked it said "Knox Warranty Void: Warranty bit not found." what does this mean? does this mean I don't have knox in my S4 active and can freely root because it wont trigger anything?

thank you very much!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] ewa12321:
[MENTION=4740014]gresob[/MENTION] Exactly. S4 Active still dont have Knox activated. It will be activated with next update from Samsung. For now you can root and flash without fear about Knox warranty bit. You don't have it active on your phone. But read about Triangle Away and flash counter before you send your phone to Samsung in future for repair. It's different than Knox, flash counter can be reset with Triangle Away but Knox not.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] gresob:
Thanks for the reply!

I guess i will root now, i dont think ill be updating my android version soon. I just really need root for some apps. :)

And thanks for the tip, ill try to learn that too just incase i need it.

Ty again [MENTION=2589000]ewa12321[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] spamtrash:
hmmm... please excuse my brevity, but you wrote a set of absurd ...:rolleyes:

Let's see what you have done:

- you have installed latest 4.2.2 ROM - OK

- You have flashed CWM, and you have flashed SuperSU - how? If your phone was not rooted, flash would not be succesful. Presumably: you have used Cf-Auto Root, which, when installed in Odin, reboots in recovery and flashes Super SU

- you could do many things to the device - OK, I even do not want what you have done to the device, however, there is one very good rule, widely spread over the XDA: if you do not know what exactly you want to do with root - DO NOT ROOT the phone.

- Saferoot: it is another rooting method, so you are using OR SuperSU/CWM OR SafeRoot (which, by the way, contains SuperSU). It is obvious that you can choose between several rooting methods and you shall not use one after successful rooting with another one.

ROOTING is nothing common with installing SU (whatever superuser apk it will be). rooting is just allowing to install superuser as system apk by using one of known exploits.

Finally: what is the relation with superSU with "Sammy crap"???:eek: Furthermore: you do not need to waste time for CWM, as you can flash any ROM via Odin. Last but not least: could you please enlighten us what is the point of cleaning cache and dalvik cache AFTER the factory reset? The factory reset cleans both, cache and Dalvik cache, so why do you need to clean it twice?

Maybe three times, or four?:rolleyes:

By the way: there are several ways allowing the root to survive the ROM upgrade, for example flashing in the appropriate way new ROM with use of Mobile Odin allows to keep the root in some cases.

Root GT-I9295 4.2.2 I9295XXUBMK3

Hi, I have been trying to root this phone for over a week with no luck.

I have tried ODIN3 (v3.7 and V3.9) - ODIN can connect to the phone only when it is NOT in recovery mode. (I have tried on 2 separate computers with 5 different ports and 3 different cables and yes I disabled keis)

I tried Kingoapp, it tried to connect when I plug the phone in but cannot connect.

I tried downloading UPDATE-SuperSU1.69.zip and used recovery to update but it fails to verify...

I tried geohot activeroot but when I run it I get the message "this app is only for the s4 active" DUH!

I have tried factory resetting the phone, I have tried clearing cache (get an error on this)

I have attached a screenshot of the phone's ABOUT but here is a summary.

Model - GTI9295

Android - 4.2.2

Baseband - I9295XXUBMK3

Kernel - 3.4.0-2015525 dpi@DELL173#1

Build - JDQ39.I9295xxubmk3

This is an Australian version.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Odin is only usefull on "download mode" and not on "recovery".

For download mode volume up+Home button and boot the phone.

try to flash CF-autoroot, worked for me !
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] bassinstalls:
You are a champion! I have been booting the phone with pow+volume up+home all the time as I thought recovery was the same as download mode.

I tried your volume up+home but nothing happens, I tried volume up+power but boots into recovery also

Then I tried power + volume down and SUCCESS! Download mode!

It booted in download mode and ODIN was able to detect and flash it.

Your combination of key presses was incorrect but that suggestion of different modes gave me the idea to try different combinations.

Thanks!

Have 1 issue so far after flashing with CF autoroot, Just tried to connect my phone to my PC and get an error that usb cannot connect anymore (device not recognised)... any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Mastiff:
I have tried several times with Odin and the file CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar. It seems to go OK, but after the reboot the phone just isn't rooted. I have the official Nordic 4.4.2. Kind of weird. I had the phone rooted on 4.2.2. (never bothered to install 4.3) with the same system, and that worked nicely.

Btw those who managed to root, did you do a reset of the phone after the upgrade? I'm a bit apprehensive of that because I have a Titanium backup of my apps and their settings, but if I can't restore that after a reset I will spend a day or so getting all the settings of all the apps back where I want them!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Mastiff:
Well, it got so messed up that I had to do a full reset anyway, and I have found that the version of CF Autoroot that I have messes up the recovery partition. It does not install SuperUser, and it's impossible to use recovery afterwards. So back to the drawing board... ;)

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------

Finally found it. My CF Autoroot file was too old. This is the corect one: https://yadi.sk/d/DclQmUzSRgkw2

The recovery still doesn't work, but at least it's rooted. I do not get the annoying, small, red writing, I just can't get into recovery. But enough of my mental health problems... ;)

CF-Root or CWM Recovery and Root

G'day All,

As far as I can see there is two working rooting methods that I can find for SGS4A GT-I9295 on XDA. :good:

One is the CF-ROOT. http://androidxda.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s4-active-gt-i9295

The other is CWM Recovery and Root. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2649691

Oops sorry, my bad. Im getting it soon,so trying to pick the differences between this and the sg2 in terms of rooting. Preety similar so far with the link tou gave. Does the sg4 display a yellow warning triangle at boot or anything after using odin to flash recovery?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] patzyalex:
No, it doesn't display knox warnings of any kind for now. After a future update, which is planned to fully implement knox, it will trigger other warnings.

The procedure is similar to what other phones may use, but the firmware is, as you know, specific for i9295, and the recovery is custom made for i9295.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
I actually went through this exact process last night. In order to install custom recovery on 4.2.2 (if that's what you want to do), you must root your phone first. I went through several threads, and this post was the only one that actually worked for me.
