Hey Tried to root my s4 earlier today but I couldn't get it to work. My baseband is xxuamdm. Used the odin method because it is the only method I've come across. It fails every time I use odin. Hope someone can help.

I also experience this at times. Try installing supersu from Play Store. Often also busybox needs to be installed. There are installers in Play Store.

I'm coming to this thread late but that's the method I used on my Vodafone S4 and it worked first time perfectly... took a while for SuperSU to appear but appeared eventually.

Hello I'm currently running xxudmh8 and rried to use cfauto root via odin. Found to be a big mistake as everytime I try to access super SU it says no hinary installed. Also states my device status is custom but I can't do anything "root" I also keep getting a message "super su has been forced to stop. When I click the notification its a samsung security update that I cant apply" anyone any ideas I have tried installing the previous stock rom but it soft brick mybdevice I guess the xxudmh8 has a lot of blocking for write and root
Please any help apreciated

xxudmh8 is using a new locked bootloader for KNOX implementation. Have you use the latest CF-autoroot by Chainfire?
If the SuperSU version is not v1.60 or higher then you may need to reroot your phone using the latest CF autoroot:
http://download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip
Latest version of SuperSU is v1.65, probably you can try to update from Google Play or download the flashable zip file from:
http://download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip
If I download and reflash xxudmh8 via odin from sammobile will it remove my root?

You may reflash XXUDMH8 via odin, after that root will be removed. You can root again using latest CF-Autoroot.
Do full factory reset before and after flashing to avoid unexpected problem.
If I root can I then go back to previous firmware or does the new one stop you from doing this??

This isn't a 'fix ma problem' board, and the least you can do is wait it out for a reply. :banghead:

Does anyone know of a new Android 4.3 Touchwiz ROM? 4.3 has recently been released on the GT-I9505 and I have been wondering if anyone has implemented this into their ROMs yet. I'll probably just flash a Loki patch if it isn't already loki'd.
Anyone have a suggestion or idea? Comment below!

I have already tried flashing the VisionX II on my ATT MF3 S4 with no luck. ROM tries to flash and returns success but progress bar never fills. I flashed the Knootz kernel with no help there either. Upon re-boot, phone passes thru Safestrap and then black screen and goes no further. Like to know if anyone has been able to flash the new VisionX v4.3 and what I did wrong if anything.

Did you flash a loki patch? Remember that it's made for the I9505 and not the I337
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You don't need to flash loki if you flash the att ktoonz kernel. I did not use safe strap so I cannot answer that question but with twrp I was able to successfully flash vision I I. This rom is amazing and really fast. If you can I suggest you give it a shot.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I've done so, but with Philz touch. It didn't work though, as it just gave me a black screen after it booted, and then otherwise just kept rebooting without even continuing with a boot animation. I did flash Loki doki, but do you think it would make a difference if I were to flash the AT&T kernel itself?
Sent from my GT-I9505G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
All I did was factory reset then flashed the rom and then flashed the ktoonz att kernel. Then wiped cache and dalvik and rebooted. Works perfectly...you don't need to mess with loki if you flash an att kernel as they already have it.

Ah yeah. I've actually done so before I read this message and I have it running on my phone right now. I want to get mobile data to work though, and so far it's not going anywhere. I've even given it the right APN, but I guess it's just not showing up when I turn it on. Have you had problems/solutions towards this?

Yes I have mobile data to work. I entered the right apn (ATT PHONE) and then saved it. Also I changed the network mode to lte/wcdma/gsm. I've heard the new audism 4.3 kernel works very well but I have yet to have a problem with ktoonz and have amazing battery life.

You got usb debugging on ?
Is your computer recognizing your phone ? I would turn on allow unknown apps too
Make sure you have all drivers also I would restart phone while plugged in on computer and see if it installs recovery bootloader drivers also

it worked thanks dude but still wifi doesnt working well..
My warranty just ended and i wanted to try a one click root method. I saw a lot of samsung users on youtube using towelroot so I decided to try that. I downloaded the app, the first time i clicked make it rain, it read, phone is not currently supported. In the video discription it gave a different modstring for sprint model s4's. So i tried that, and i got the same message. None of the modstrings seem to work and ive tried many other root apps but i prefer towelroot. I dont have a computer on hand to use odin and i really want to use a one click method. How far away will the next update be to fix towel root and if not any other one click apps??
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you took the NG2 update, Towelroot won't work. That loophole is currently closed.
And don't ask when something will be updated. The devs here do this for free and have personal lives to worry about. They'll get updates out when they get updates out.
