Help cant root s4 i9505

Hey guys im having a problem rooting my new s4 (i9505) using cfroot by chainfire .i did follow everything but i still having an issue. Is there any solution for this on how to do it easy? Thanks guys n i was running XXUBMF8 stock official and then downloaded official xxbmga on sammobile and still cant root it tho.

Flash your new MGA with Odin.
After use the CF-Root of chainfire flash it.
You should look if the chainfire is compatible with your device
Well I'm on Omega rom. I do not need to use Chainfire for root the phone because the Rom is already rooted.

You can't :highfive:

Why can't he? Can't he just download a 4.3 ROM and flash it via Odin? I think he can! Warranty will be voided as counter will go up, but that's not the point.

When i flash with odin it shows fail

What if he were to have a nandroid backup? Would that be sufficient? I'm curious to know because I'm still on 4.2.2.

You simply can't. new bootloader comes with 4.4.2.
cheers ~

Stock Rom

Hello guys. I need an advice pls.
I flashed a galaxy s4 i9500 (international) with sokp Rom. (Aosp based 4.4 Rom)
Now I want to flash a pure stock 4.4 Rom. Which I never had on my device. I started with custom Roms from 4.2.2, moved to 4.3 and then the custom Sokp Rom. So I need words of advice.
Is there a flashable latest stock rom which I can flash in twrp? If yes, are the steps the same as flashing custom Rom?
Where can I get a link if such?
Thanks in advance.

You can flash through odin a stock rom from sammobile or a custom rom generated from stock from xda where you can flash the zip file you pput on the microsd card for i.e. with recovery. But original stock rom which might be used to restore original condition (for warranty reasons for i.e.) should be flashed with odin or kies.

Download the official firmware from sammobile.com for your model no.
Flash it via odin
Youre done
But you will loose root access. For that, use towelroot. ^_^
Press Thanks if I helped

Does towelroot set the device software flash to custom preventing future otas?
