have you flash a custom rom?

Just go to sammobile, search i9300 in the firmwares section, download the firmware. Then open a new tab, search how to use odin, flash the firmware through odin. Or just download the latest rooted firmware by zoot1.

1. Look at the post above.
2. Personally, I think that rooting is something ... how to politely say...
it is for persons who know what they are doing and why... therefore I think that users should:
a) unpack and charge the phone;
b) in the time of charging read the quick guide;
c) recognize what they would like to do and how they could do it (Google use highly recommended);
d) turn on the phone looking on its current status;
e) look for the rom/soft which suits their needs;
f) if there is no other option: root it.
o, I forgotten about the OP individual needs: sometime between c and d they should ask their mum for pampers replacement.

Yep goes for all of us at times clenched buttock time .

if you followed the first rule of XDA you would know that rooting disables OTA updates

I believe once ure rooted Kies would not recognize your device. .

as far as i know when u are rooted your updates are desable.. u have to update your device using ODIN and the ROM that you want to.. Once your device is unrooted it will be able to be updated, also i believe that the flash counter most be reset ( with Triangle Away you can do that)
Status most be normal and not modified ( rooted phones are modified )..

If u rooted ure device u can't have updates thru kies.... If u don't wanna flash a custom ROM what was the point of rooting your phone.... Now since your phone is rooted try flashing a custom ROM and u can get to 4.1.2 or even 4.2.x....
Try it and ull be all good...
PS After rooting your device Kies becomes pretty much useless

CWM Samsung Galaxy S4 4.3 install.

Hey Guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 International (I9505) and I rooted it properly with Odin.
But now I want to flash CWM for my S4 but all the tutorials on Youtube are running 4.2.2 Android but, I'm running 4.3
Can I still flash CWM or does it matter what version I'm running?

Yes, you can flash any recovery ie; CWM/Philz/TWRP. Have a nice day.

Okay, thanks!
Which of these recoveries do you recommend?

Personally , ived been using Philz recovery since i had my s2/s3 and the benefits for this recovery would be exFAT and its features ,and exFat can handle larger files than Fat32 since it can only handle with files up to 4gb? but i might be wrong , so please feel free to use another recovery you want

[Q] seandriod enforcing

hello..
i got note 3 sm n9005 (uk model),i tried to root my phone odin says pass,but it wont go to recovery mode it restarts and stuck on screen saying recovery is not seandroid enforcing" in red and another in yellow saying" set warranty bit.it wont let me root my phone,,,pls help me with this
thanks

That means you have succesfully put a custom recovery on your phone via odin. Stock wont show anything, but anything other than stock, that will show. I can only assume your on JB(4.3) still and have flashed a recovery for KK(4.4)
Im from the uk too, using chenglus 11/21 recovery on my jb rom.

Make sure you are using the right cf auto root file. One is for 4.4 and the other is for 4.3.
edit: didn't read it completely, what did you use to root your phone?

I've never used cf auto root. To root my first rom ( stock rom) i just flashed a custom recovery, and then flashed a superuser zip inside cwm

Did that worked? As far as I know to flash a custom recovery you have to be rooted first.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app

Yes works fine. Have done it a few times on the n9005, and many times on other devices. You don't even need a rom to flash a custom recovery, or stock recovery for that matter.

Can't flash Cwm or TWRP

Hello, I've looked around for a solution to this with no joy. I managed to root my note 3 with no problem with cf autoroot only to find that I still had a stock recovery.
I tried other methods also and I just cannot get a custom recovery to flash on my device.
When I try to flash a cwm via Odin it leaves me in a bootloop.
Any ideas?
Its the SM-N9005 Model

You mentioned cwm but not twrp ( unless I missed it ). I linked cwm just to make sure you used the one proven to work with 4.4.2 as you didn't mention exactly which one you used and I believe there are other cwm variants ( phil's touch, original cwm ). If my attempt to help isn't appreciated, a simple yes or no would suffice. I know how to read.

remember rooting with cf autoroot will trip ur knox counter to 0x1, meaning your warranty will be gone. use towelroot method instead.

Don't suggest towelroot if your not willing to test it yourself ? That's like asking someone to brick their phone intentionally ?
If you won't do it don't suggest someone to experiment for you

you should really get your facts straight before accusating someone of anything. i've just used towelroot on my i9500 and it worked like a charm, didnt even trip knox.

Well try updating the thread you opened asking if anyone had used it ?
XDA is a community & people share tips & results. If you updated your thread then you could maybe helping others ??
So in your reply "get your facts straight" I didn't have the facts to make a decision on Ok

you shouldnt be suggesting me not to use others phones as experiments if you never ever had the facts (as u stated in ur last post). But whatever, just use towelroot if you don feel like tripping knox. good luck !

Thanks for the reply guys.
My phone is not in warrenty period.Its finished just before 2 days. So I am thinking to root it. And if warranty doesn't matter it is ok to use CF Auto root? Please link me to the CF Auto root and compatible CWM recovery for S4 i9500.
And one more thing I don't know about 'towelroot'.

Yes it's fine to use chainfires autoroot
Here's the link to cf autoroot for i9500-just follow his instructions
Also the link to philz recovery here
You just need to download the .tar file from him & flash it just like you did with autoroot in odin

Thanks bro...

You shouldn't run into any problems just flash with odin and once flash is complete do a nandroid backup before flashing a new custom rom
