Hi everyone
i am coming from I9300 where i was rooted and with Omega
i will receive my S4 this week and i want to be ready
i have read the forums and apparently there are 2 methos for rooting (and it seams a new update from samsung is blocking root)
i dont know what firmware will i receive on the phone, but i do wish to:
- have root
- have portuguese network TMN 268-06 to have HD voice enabled
- Have CWM installed
- dont have triangle counter
is this possible ? can anyone help me step by step? maybe installing omega is a good idea

Hi,
Did you not like my answer in your other thread?
Making multiple threads for the same question just clutters up the forum,and makes it harder for you to get a satisfactory answer.

Hello,
I have been trying to figure out a few things with the S4 and read a lot of stuff but I have a few unanswered question.
I come from using NExus phones since Nexus 1. Unlock Phone, install CWM and then use it to flash roms or rooting scripts.
Now, I have S4. I am still with their STOCK on I337M (Canadian Model) and I rooted using CF-Auto-Root and ODIN.
What I don't understand, is:
- Can I flash CWM and then just use CWM and SuperSU-vx.xx.zip to root? Why Use Odin?
- Now that I am rooted, if I new SAMSUNG firmware comes along, I am assuming it will fail, I will have to unroot and then apply firmware and then root again? How do I unroot? "Full Unroot" from the option in the app just like the Nexus phones?
- S4 has a counter from what I read, but lot's of warning about bricking phone is that only active on Samsung stock? What if I flash a google stock?
- Can I just use Rom Manager Pro as I used to with Nexus devices...
if I flash CWM, is it replacing ODIN? Is odin a recovery like Odin! If anyone can point out and explain the difference between CWM , ODIN, Nexus phones and S4 it would be great...
I know that now when I go to download mode (Is that like fastboot?) it shows binary as being custom, but I don't get a yellow triangle when I boot...
Thanks for any info regarding explaining what ODIN is...
I also noticed although I have 16GB phone, 6.38GB is system! That is huge! Is that normal?
There are some nice features that I would not like to lose, so I stuck with samsung and just use NOVA home screen...
This is actually the "ATT Galaxy S4Active" forum. S4 forum will have answers to all your S4 questions.

Only thing I still wonder is about updates that samsung releases. It will remove root? I guess I have to wait till chainfire has a rooting script then update.
Thx.

I just went through the un root because I was only using it for one thing. I ended up flashing the original ROM using Odin then doing a factory reset and cache wipe. Now waiting for the update not sure I will root until S4 is not longer updated by Samsung.

Hi,
Look HERE
OTA will remove root,and the latest will lock down your bootloader.
Hi
I have AMG1... I think this is the latest one but I was able to root.. Will locking boot loader prevent rooting.. Could it be another one for at only?
Thanks
Note: yes. I did notice chainfires note.. But he doesn't say what load is the latest.. There are so many Samsung s4 models devices.. Each with different models its so confusing

I just installed CWM on latest version of Canadian I337M AMG1... Its good so far.
Xda modder.. There are differences between i337 att and Canadian i337m.. No forum specific to the Canadian folks?
Thanks...

Search is a very useful tool here in xda....and the question you ask also frequently asked, and answered too many times to mention.
One of the popular methods HERE.
A search may yield more options as will google

You need CF-Autoroot.
Here is the direct download link for CF-Autoroot:
http://download.chainfire.eu/328/CF...jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919.zip?retrieve_file=1
Flash it using Odin (odin is included in this zip file)
Good luck!

You should read the FAQ, Q&A or do a search before asking this type of question. It's answered many times over. But attached are two links for rooting the device, depending on your exact model. I would asume your most likely the GT-I9505, but check in your about phone section first, the posts describe step by step how to complete the process.
GT-I9505/GT-I9505G

bump, ideas anyone
Glad I found this post, I too am curious. I wonder if it will be like when I had the canadian s3 and could just flash the AT&T rooms just fine. Gonna hold of rooting the s5 until this is cleared up

Rooting was no issues I used chainfires method and he has a file for our W8 model. It's more the roms I curious about.

Yeah, thats what I meant. Gonna wait in general until the rom variants are sorted, who knows maybe there will even be a way to root without trip.
Hey guys. I got a notification about a software update for my Rogers G900W8.
Was wondering if I should apply this update and would it affect root?
Sent from my SM-G900W8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I made a post about this the next day the S5 was lunch. Rooting wasn't an issue for me as for flashing ROMS, some are compatible here, just need to ask them first. I'm wondering if we'll get our forum as well.

I would think most roms would work, I'm just wondering about our modem and baseband. Is it just a matter of flashing our modems to ensure lte function.

Meh, I didn't think about that =/. I guess you get no signals if modem/baseball aren't compatible. Is there a link to get our modem/baseband?
On the Note 3 N900w8 users got lucky, they could downgrade to JellyBean and back to Kitkat without issues, could root (on JB) without tripping KNOX and can pretty much flash ANY international ROM on their device (in this case the N9005 ROMs, N900T ROMs etc) -- IT is possible, now I use this term very very loosely that you *may* be able to flash a whole lot more than w8 only ROMs.
Hi! I am totally a noob in terms of the word "rooting" and I would like to know how to root my S4 (international version; globe [carrier]) it's android 4.4.2. I know that maybe this question is somewhere kn the forum but i am new here in XDA and i would really like to root my phone with a good procedure and at least understandable by a "noob". Thanks for the help!

1. Report your own post, asking for moving it into the Q&A section;
2. What for do you need to root the phone?
3. Do you know that by rooting it (on the current community knowledge level) you will trip the KNOX e-fuse?
4. look here for answers
1. Sorry. I already reported it.
2. Make battery life longer/make my phone work fast. Remove bloatware apps installed in the device. Maybe install custom roms but still learning so i won't brick my device.
3. Yes.

Fair enough. But, i'd recommend you to go to Android Development/Original android Development sections here. You will find plenty of custom, prerooted ROMS, so presumably it would make your life easier just to flash prerooted one.

Does rooting need my phone to be sim unlocked from the carrier?
