Be aware that Triangle Away doesn`t work yet for the I9500 so you can`t go back to full stock if you would like to, the counter will always be raised and the status will say custom/modified
1. Flash CF-Auto Root from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292615. Read the OP well
2. If you want to flash custom roms or kenels you need a custom recovery, i would take this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280457, flash with Odin.
3. Install busybox from Google Play if you want to run stock.

thanks alot ! a quick question .. if i9100 drivers are currently installed on my computer, do i have to remove them first and then install i9500 drivers ?

You could try and activate developer opinions and turn on USB debugging it might help
Go to settings, about and tap the build number 5 times that will open developer op

you cant sammy wont let you do that anymore
Roll back to stock Firmware ? or roll back the stock firmware aka Downgrade?
If it's downgrade, you cannot.
To go back to stock make sure you have the correct USB drivers installed and KIES should work for you. Or alternatively grab your stock ROM from sammobile and flash it via ODIN.
Just seen you had installed the drivers, Check you have the right version of KIES installed, as there are two options from samsungs site. Or just try ODIN

If using Stock ROM and you haven't already rooted previously then No. If you have rooted then depending on your chosen root method, it may have been tripped.

[Q] Want to remove super user and set device status offical

Well friends....this is my 1st post sorry in advance if there is some mistake
I have a samsung galaxy s4 i9500 and I rooted it with kingoapp retaining warranty bit 0. After that I got a update (mk9) so with wanam xposed I used fake status and updated through ota.
After that root was removed but su app was not removed
I just want to remove the superuser app and the most important thing is there any way to make the device status as OFFICIAL if possible. That would help me a lot...thanks in advance
1. Only if the BINARY Status is still Custom, download and extract OFFICIAL STATUS MOD(.tar.md5): GT-I9500 - open in Odin as PDA (password: djembey2013)
*EDIT: Use it by your own responsibility -> Take a look this page for more info

you can always just flash the stock rom again with odin as long as you can get into download mode but you loose your data.
are you on 4.4.2 kitkat ? because if so, you need a new version of twrp (or use cwm). there is an unoffical version that supports kk and also the original twrp will get an update soon. theres currently a test build, look at the official thread.
dont use it if you are still on 4.3 !
I really really wish people would search and read before messing with their devices... this is the 800th thread on this again.
Take your battery out, and wait for 60seconds, put back in and try to boot into recovery mode, wipe cache and boot up - OR reflash Stock again.
PS: If you have a Hong Kong Note, you need to go off and read... cause you've made a massive mistake playing.

Check you have the right CF-Autoroot, if you got the latest one it won't work as it's for KK only try This One - In future please read more.

Nothing. Boot into download mode, and flash it via Odin. Job done. - Am I to assume that the CF autoroot I gave you didn't work?

Before going to the trouble of flashing the stock rom and try rooting again, why not flash the cf-autoroot radicalisto linked you to? It'll only take a minute to do it.

No I don't sorry
Don't know if this is what your lookin for ?
what drivers? PC S4 (USB and other) drivers? Go and install Kies and let it connect once, it will DL the proper drivers and install them, and after that kill Kies and Kies processes on your PC and you're set for Odin...
Edit: Then if you need those specific drivers again and on the same PC (or even a different one), then repeat the steps or simply perform the backup with Driver Magician or similar and you'll have them even after the PC format...
Dang! now I already rooted my phone. So whats next for me? Should i install recovery now?
Go ahead and install a custom recovery and flash away.

Here is cwm rec (bottom 1st post)here just flash the .tar via odin
PhilZ is an advanced version of custom recovery with more customization and options. It is working great and I don't really see the need to go for a regular CWM; either PhilZ or TWRP should be the way to go - depends on what you fancy more :good:

hi mate
why you say odin will not let you install anything?
try to reflas rom again , use the latest stock rom available , odin will not let you flash roms with older bootloader than the one you have..
