Latest Firmware XXUDMH8 won't root... - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I recently updated to the latest firmware offered by Samsung. I9505XXUDMH8 and I wan't to root so I can use Titanium Backup and Light Manager LED Control. But no matter what method I try it will not root.
I've tried using I9505 SU-1.32 Zip file (no luck).
I've also tried CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5 (no luck).
I've also tried flashing TWRP and selecting fix root when I click reboot.
Nothing has worked so far and I'd quite like to get rooted on the latest firmware.
Until I/someone finds a way around KNOX I've had to go back to the previous version which is somewhat inferior...
Many thanks for your help in advance!

That is what I tried, but I had no such luck... SuperSU didn't even appear on the app drawer when I used that.

Downgrade Impossible (I9500 Folks) Help

After flashing 4.3 leak on my I9500 using Odin 3.09, it doesn't boot up as it should, I have wiped data/cache, but to no avail. I even flashed the Russian official 4.3 firmware, but it just doesn't boot up as it should.
When I turn on the phone, the phone stops right after the "Galaxy S4 I9500," screen. I see a black screen right after that.
I tried to downgrade my phone using Odin 3.09, 3.07 and 3.04, but it keeps failing. My S4 shows "unsupported version," when I try to flash stock 4.2.2.
I am guessing this is probably happening because of the newer bootloader, the newer bootloader is making it impossible to downgrade to an older version.

ok try this first use the cf root provided in the cf root thread and then dload the latest 4.2.2 http://samsung-updates.com/details/14135/Galaxy_S_4_Exynos_Octa/GT-I9500/XFE/I9500XXUBMH1.html from here and flash it see what happens
Solved.
The problem was that I didn't flash the stock rom that came with my phone. I flashed that and my phone was restored to its factory settings. However my imei was messed up, it was showing me 0049. I rooted, flashed twrp recovery and used twrp to restore from a backup and I got my imei back along with my data.
I will wait for 4.3 to become flashable and see how it goes then.

Phone only boots with root and TWRP...Cant install stock!

Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help me with this problem. Basically I was updating my phone to mk2 BTU via kies and it failed. Kies stopped recognising the phone and it kept going in to stock recovery.
I tried manually flashing stock mk2 via odin but I kept getting the same result.
Then I got fed up and I rooted (cf auto root) and installed TWRP and my phone booted in to a rooted mk2. My knox is now triggered which is a bit annoying but at least it works now.
The problem is if I try to flash stock rom via odin it still does the same thing boots in to stock recovery and then I have to root and install twrp again. I blame all this on KIES!
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks
Any ideas anyone?

Not clear here - by stock rom do you mean stock MK2 ROM (unrooted, same CSC as the rooted one that works)?
Have you also tried in Kies the special "emergency recovery mode" (under tools)?

Hi,
Yes thats right MK2 stock unrooted and same CSC. I tried KIES the first time with emergency recovery but it kept saying device unsupported, that's when i rooted it and installed TWRP and it worked. I don't understand it.

[Q] Stuck on recovery booting after flash with mobile odin???

Hey,
Wow, I thought it will be easy. Used mobil odin pro to flash nordic countries kitkat update. And stuck on recovery booting.
I then used PC odin 1.85 and flashed again and was flashed OK. But the bootloop is here now. I cleared Cache but didn't help.
I waited with reset data to see if there is anything else to do?
I searched forums and have bean reading but can't find any threads to this. Any one could send mea link?

OMG
Reseting in recovery helped.moooh lost everything

If you read a bit you'd see you need to flash the KK bootloader 1st on PC ODIN.... Then you can use Mobile ODIN to go to KK... Unfortunately there's no way back....
You just need to flash the KK bootloader with PC ODIN then upgrade with Mobile ODIN, you should retain root and still have Knox as 0x0 if you haven't tripped it yet...
too late

So If i updated bootloader first with Odin I wouldn't need to restet the data? :S
I don't care about knox as they will fix my phone if it was needen anyway. Wouldn't even if they don't fix if broken.
The chainfire should mention that on mobile odin, I even read his thread before flashing.
Fresh install at least. lol
Installing apps.
thanks

I ran into the same problem, flashed TWRP 3 times and KNOX remained 0x0 and recovery remained stock
Ended up having to use CF Auto Root to gain root, then use TWRP Manager to flash TWRP

Yea flash CF Auto Root via ODIN, then install that TWRP app and the app itself will flash TWRP for you
I was running stock BOB7 when I tried to flash TWRP

[HELP] AutoRoot in the last firmware.

Hi everyone, I wanted to put a root issue on the Galaxy S7 edge.
I installed via Odin the latest version of ITV PDA G935FXXU1DQIC and CSC G935FITV1DQI1.
Once you've finished flashing once, I put it back in Download Mode and always flash through Odin the latest version of AutoRoot.
However, the phone still hangs before loading with a screen that warns me that the integrity of the system has not been checked out. I had tried to disable all security settings several times, but nothing. Once I install the root the phone gives me an error telling me that to reset the device I should do a factory reset.
How can I fix it is what? With previous firmware it did not work out what.

If you are using Chainfire's Autoroot it wont work on Nougat.. if you use some third-party AutoRoot i can't help you.
Best way i can recommend to you is to flash latest TWRP and easly get root also you can flash some of great custom roms you can get here!
