Rooting I9505G running LRX21P

Hi all,

I tried rooting my I9505G running Lollipop 5.0.0 LRX21P. I used ODIN and CF-Auto-root. SuperSu now wants to update, but the update fails.

I later realized that the CF version I used was not meant for Lollipop. Thankfully, my device is still working normally.

Any ideas on how to root?

Thanks a ton!

Tried to root the S4 following the instructions posted.

Managed to get the green Passed icon in Odin.

Managed to get the Supersu prompt to grant access for the apps(eg Root Checker) which I promptly granted access.

Tried to verify root by using Root Checker but it doesnt show any results. I did get the notifications "Root Checker has been granted superuser permission for an interactive shell"

However, Titanium Backup(used to verify root) can't get root access to work so it seems like I am not rooted?

Tried to run Undeleter but is doesnt get pass the testing root access.

Would really appreciate any help as I urgently need to try and recover some precious files on the phone internal storage.

Root in Lollipop

Using Heimdall (instead of ODIN of your guide, command sudo heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img --CACHE cache.img.ext4 --no-reboot), I was able to:

1- Install SuperSU using the stock recovery, in Stock Android 4.4.2;

2- Flash lollipop nightly build from cyanogen using stock recovery;

3- Install SuperSU again like 1, but inside lollipop.

I cleaned cache and did a data wipe after the process.

This phone had clockworkmod in the past, so I don't know if it influenced somehow. But it's working!

After CF is applied

I have had CF applied to my Samsung S4 for many years and it has worked perfectly well with the apps I have on the phone until now.

I updated to Android 4.4.2 on h3g.

The phone worked perfect after having done it with the 4.4.2. I then applied CF root. Then the hell started.

The phone kept rebooting in the middle of phone calls or as soon as I had done any Skype calls. I also had it to some extent when I emailed, but the ratio was perhaps 1 to 20 when emailing that it booted (1 phone call to 20 emails rebooting).

I then emptied the cash through the special boot menu; volume up, power, home button. No change.

I then factory reset the phone. Then it worked fine again without CF root.

Then I applied the CF root and then the problems started again.

I am now in total panic since I have people calling me and then the phone shuts down at it's own will.

What to do?

I have tried to 4.2.2 and apply the CF root, but I cannot find it to download anywhere.

I need to have the phone working properly as I need to have a call recorder working which only works if it is rooted.

SuperSU is always saying that it can't download the binary (installation failed) - I'm thinking that the RW Rights aren't set? Is this possible? Or is there any simple way to get Super SU work?

Yeah well said and all that but i just ran across the video and tried to lightly press on mine and wolla, it was the same. These phones are all manufactured to the exact same specs and built with the same process and parts. This is just how they are made. If you want to deny that,its your choice. Im not sure why this would happen on more than a few phones if its random. Keep in mind that not all people with phone issues come to XDA developers to complain. So its highly likely there is more discovering this. And more who could care less. The fact of the matter is that screens are not rigid like other oem's..they have a slightly hollow feel even when typing,it sounds different . Toward the top,there is something in that hollow area like tape or a buffer that sticks when ypu flex the screen. Sorry to rain on your parade but the fact remwins that if these screens were thicker,this would never happen. Im holding a Note 2 right next to my z3c and the note screen is like a tank compared to it. Having said all that,its probably not an issue , but it bugs me that Sony seems to have cheaped out on certain things.

The glass on my previous Sony phone had even more flex than this one, and yet it held up perfectly against multiple drops and has minimal scratches after two years of being in my pocket along with sand and other dirt debris from my work as a landscaper.
