For future reference when someone tries to help, its best not to disrespect them....
I have the i9500 and all i did was flash CWM.zip using ODIN on my PC.
Then you can flash superuser.zip in CWM. Piece of cake!
Do you need a how to guide for that or do you know what I mean?
Does this method work on new kernels with the root-block thing?

and how to check my S4's version? as for how to guide i can try to follow the steps in that thread, and if a problem came up i'll ask it here..

To check version, go to Settings>More>About Device
I'm not sure about rooting part, since mine is quadcore version and the process might be different

I wouldn't use either of those methods. They require too much transferring between PC and device. Which is where incomplete flashing and hard bricking occurs.
I would just flash CWM using odin... Then you can do what ever you want i.e. flash super user, or a kernel or custom ROM that has root.

If your boot loader is locked (Like the AT&T version) then you will need to unlock that first, then root.

Excuse the noob question. How do I know if my bootloader is unlocked. I bought my phone in an airport in the duty free and is sim unlocked, but I dont know if the bootloader is unlocked.
In case it is unlocked, then the new cofface CWM should be able to root my phone?
Thanks in advance

Is it the i9500? Then thats unlocked.
The i9505 is mostly unlocked unless its from AT&T...
Yes you should be able to just flash CWM using ODIN, and you are good to go. If the bootloader is locked then the flash using ODIN wont work. Thats all. Nothing will happen. (it wont stuff up your phone)

All good. You are set to go!
Take a look at my youtube channel (link in the signature)
I've done a look at a few things to fix the S4 octa. Like a kernel that fixes zRam issues and a ROM review on both the OMEGA ROM and wanam ROM...
What are you saying is we really don't need any PC to root this? and what's ODIN?
When i root my HTC there's specific 'HTC only' files called HBOOT, Unlock_code.bin through HTCDev.com website
is ODIN specific 'Samsung only' files as well?
I know I've root my Samsung Galaxy Young S5360 but that thing's already come pre-rooted, just like my Galaxy Note 2
(forgot to add both to my sig, maybe after rooting s4 -.,-)
Also, how to unlock Samsung's bootloader in general? It doesn't need SamsungDev.com website or such right? :silly:

ODIN is a tool that you use on your PC.
You plug your S4 into your PC via USB and then ODIN adds the clockwork mod recovery files to the system.
- This is a video i created on how to root the galaxy Note. So for your S4 its exactly the same, except the file you are flashing is different.
Link: Kernel to flash...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1985575&d=1369329536
Once you have flashed this kernel, then when you reboot it will say you are not rooted, do you want to root. So you just say yes, and then it will reboot and you are done...
There's no ODIN for S4 octa core version?
1.85 is for GT-I9505... :silly:
I don't know why making a great deal out of it it's very simple you can use cofface method HERE and then goto odin 3.07 which does support i9500.... set his file in the pda section and flash it (of course when you are in download mode) thats about it, goto recovery and use the root option there is a menu for rooting in there.
these are the files use them http://d-h.st/WM2
don't forget to stop by his thread and hit the thanks button.

I've been following this thread and have used your method hamdogg and don't think I'm rooted. It seemed too easy. How can I check?? I tried an app that says I need root access, and it didnt work. So am I right to assume that I am not rooted?
Thanks..

Hi Gregg. If you flashed the kernel then you will need to boot into CWM, then select 'reboot'. Once you have done that it will prompt you to 'root'.
Thats it... easy. Then your apps that require root will work.
Letter I sent to Samsung - of course not helped me:
Hello,
Yesterday was the worst day for me.
i purchased a Samsung galaxy S4 !9505 from i private store.
when i loaded the device for the first time, i got a push update to MH8 (with the knox)
i didn't know whats ahead of me...
yesterday i tried to upgrade the version to a rooted one.
and suddenly, the wifi and the sound in the device stopped working, plus i had problems with incoming/outgoing calls.
finally, i could solve the problem with a modded version of MH8 Pre-rooted, truthfully i don't care about the root anyway.
i just wanted to check what is what, because i'm new to this whole thing.
but now, every time i boot my device, i'm afraid something will happen to it.
besides that, i understand that i can't upgrade any future version anymore, which means for me that my device is half dead already.
i'm asking you, with kind regards, help me restore my phone to its original form, so i could enjoy your updates, and google's as well
my phone is in "knox warrany void: 0x1" state as for now.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There has been a solution to the problem?
Or I got stuck and I can't upgrade?
I'm from Israel, so if you need to flash a modem or something, just so you know
Sorry my english!
Thank you!
somebody please?
Hello,
There are serveral threads about this point, please read around...
You can upgrade to new roms with the ODIN/flashable roms available, or you can set the device status to "official" to receive OTA updates.
The only thing you can't change is the knox 0x01 which is suspected to be an eFuse and therefore non-reversible (nothing 100% confirmed so far)
for questions on how to flash each thing (ODIN packages recovery flashable zips and so on) refer to the specific thread
good luck

Hi mate - As it is for know your KNOX warrenty is void....What this means is you will not be able to use the KNOX software/locker/container (whatever you wanna call it).........for the moment this is indeffinate until one of the brilliant minds in xda figures out a way to re-set it (not gonna be easy or anytime soon).....However, your device is not lost.....all you need to do if flash any stock firmware that has the new KNOX bootloader via odin. You can find stock firmware ( you just need to look for it )...Sammobile would be a good place to start maybe? Once you have loaded the firmware you should be able to recieve OTA updates but WILL NOT be able to use KNOX stuff.
Hope this clears some stuff up for you!
EDIT - Even if you have issues via OTA you can always flash the latest firmware via odin!

Yes you can install custom roms - but when you have a custom ROM then you are very unlikely to get OTA updates....which is why odin is a great tool!

I love this forum! I just do not seem much
Before I flash the MH8 Pre-rooted, i flash customs rom (almost everyone), and all was sound and Wifi, know why?
That's why I'm asking and I'm not sure.
For example, I flash the rom costum MH8, and worked (problems Sound-WIFI), and Pre-Rooted worked, why is that?
Thank you!

Could have been kernel related....I am not entirely sure....but this is wavering from your initial opening post - Knox Problem - I Can't upgrade rom - which has been answered.......I would suggest sticking to what you know works and as I said READ ALOT because you are not the only person who has had wifi and sound issues:good:......I believe your initial issue has been answered as much as it can now. Good luck in you search for answers:fingers-crossed:
Last one from me....have you also tried to flash a new modem to fix wifi???? Try looking HERE also!
Rom and LTE modem should be the same build number. GSM modem is region dependent and can be anything you like.

One bit of advice... please work on your English sentence structure (yes it is very bad )
It is an annoying challenge to understand you without repeatedly rereading what your wrote.
Now unto more important things:
1. Please fix your initial problem by returning to stock before you ask more questions.
2. Let us know if everything is working on stock and your device is back to stock form and function.
3. Read the howto documents on this site before you proceed to ask any further questions related to rooting or rom flashing.

Hi guys
I'm very new to this and love the Note3. Can anyone help me and direct me to the post on how to root my Note3 please.
I got
AP:N9005XXUDMJ6
CP:N9005XXUDMJ4
CSC:N9005VFGDMJ1
it is running on 4.3 (UK, Vodafone network) If possible would like to upgrade to kitkat as well. Thank you very very much in advance for any help i can get. As I said I'm a newbie and only now start to learn.
Correct me someone if I'm wrong...
Download mobile terminal and try to exec the command
[email protected]:/ $ getprop ro.bootloader
N9005XXUBMJ1
[email protected]:/ $
If you are on MJ1 or previous bootloader you can go and use Root de la Vega method using any ROM admitted.

Since you are not rooted, it means Kn0x is probably intact.
Upgrading
1. Go into Settings > About Device > System Updates. Check for updates. Then update if it's available
OR
2. Download kies from here - http://www.filehippo.com/download_kies/ then install, connect your phone to ur computer and check for updates
OR
3. Grab any N9005 firmware from here - http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N9005 then flash in ODIN. I have a guide here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/v8j0x3l9vrla9du/Flashing Official Sammy ROMs.txt)
Ask questions if you don't understand anything
Rooting

Is the snapdragon customise ROM? I'm not worry about triping Kn0x. because my phone model is AP:N9005XXUDMJ6 will it be ok if I download the firmware from different country?

If it's MJ6 then you will trip Knox...
You also have the bootloader that makes it impossible to go back to firmwares lower than MJ3(?). If you upgrade to KK then root with the latest cf-autoroot then you will be good to go. You can then flash latest twrp/cwm to put on custom roms.... Just make sure the cwm/twrp says it's compatible with KK... Same with cf-Autoroot....
This will trip Knox though...

Yup, however reading around and learning things instead of expecting to have stuff spoonfed makes a huge difference, especially given this is a pretty much a phone development site lol. 2 out of 5 threads cover root in some variation.
Just follow the directions and it's pretty simple. It doesn't take more than 5 minutes for a whole process.

Hi,
It depends in what bootloader you have , Odin will not allow you to downgrade to a lower bootloader that the one you have ( stock rom)

That is because you have a newer bootloader......nothing you can do about it , sorry mate
just curious, when it's said that you can't downgrade the bootloader...presumably it means when downgrading to a lower version of android? because i tested the latest ngf1 firmware and updated bootloader and have since returned to fnb8 and phone info is now showing fnb8 bootloader again.
I wonder how each day has someone to open a new thread and ask this question
Discussed a thousand times, and most illiterate person knows that this is impossible, but there are still people who have not understood

now do the same in google https://www.google.co.uk/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=BsS6U8CcJ67Y8gfQjYDoBQ&gws_rd=ssl#q=xda+philz+recovery+9505
it's the first result and takes you right to the thread.
the forum search leaves a lot to be desired, so I kinda get why people struggle finding thing on here :s

Hi ,
Knox is trip so i guess you do not flash the "knox free bootloader" from 4.2.2 so in practice you only flash a modify stock rom......
You can remove KNOX with the removal script.
Hello ROMs geeks,
Can I unroot my device N9005 while it have DarkLordN5.RC2.1.SamsungViet.vn ROM?
I don't know if that is applicable or not?
If Not?
In this case I guess I have to go back to the Stock ROM (I'm supposing so), in this case where can I have Stock ROM taking in your consideration that SamMobile.com removed all the links from the internet because SamMobile.com selling it! so I will be gratfule if someone share it with me please (that in case if unrooting can not work with the custom rom which I mentioned above)
Thank you in advance
MS.
Yes depending upon method to root used read methods instructions to unroot .
Plenty of other sources of firmware and Samm do not as you say sell it .

use unSU by osm0sis and see if it do the trick
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067
if it doesnt, use uninstall option on what root method you use
if it still doesnt work, flash another kernel(should be compatible with the rom youre currently using), or just install another rom(backup important stuff first) without root or go back to stock
