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

Bump I need to either revive my attempted root I'd possible???

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??

I'm just going to reply to tell you to stop bumping your thread after such miserable amounts of time. I hope you got excited that there was a reply, and I also hope that you were bitterly disappointed. This isn't a 'fix ma problem' board, and the least you can do is wait it out for a reply. :banghead:

How am I supposed to flash a zip when I have no custom recovery?...motochopper says failure all the time tried it twice.. is the mdn method for sprint s4? It says gt-19505

You don't have to be rooted to install a recovery. Just use Odin to install a recovery, then use that to flash the zip.

How did you get TWRP to install successfully? What error messages are you getting?
Not sure if it's a requirement, but did you enable Developer Options and check the USB Debugging box?
Only twrp 2.5 will flash..but takes a few flashes with Odin...if twrp flashes OK...n I flash cfauto root with odin...I gain root and lose twrp..stock recovery.. try n flash twrp n I lose root...Its so crazy ive never seen anything do this..ive been flashing on the S1..S2..S3..and S4...I know what im doing..

It will also freeze in download mode and say..something about the bar percentage..then I have to connect to kies and when it recognizes it I can flash with odin again

Jeez......have u tried to reinstall the drivers on ur computer? Are u opening Odin with admin privileges? I would start over from scratch and re download the tar file and go back to stock and try to Odin cf auto root and then install goo manager and install the custom recovery. I hope u get it worked out.

Plug it into a computer and there will be a program that tries to install "Verizon Software Update Assistant" or something like that. Install the program and you will be able to update to the new baseband, MJE. Make sure your device is not rooted and there is no custom recovery. (safestrap) Updating through this process can take up to 45 mins so just be cool and let it do its thing.

I'd back-up your data, then flash the .tar file in this post via Odin 3.09:

Hi, I'm on 4.2.2 stock rooted and am receiving an update. I'm Not sure if it's 4.3 or 4.4.2 but it downloaded and tried to install. It got to 27% and said update failed. I've tried a few times and it just fails. So does anyone know why my update keeps failing? Do I need to Odin back to stock(mf3) and then update?

You can't update a routed phone via OTA, but I think there is a way to unroot.

You have to un-root your phone before you can access an official OTA update. If you are using Super Su, like most of us, you can use it to un-root. Search the forums for rooting if you need additional info. Good luck.
Thanks a lot guys.

I unrooted via SuperSU and I'm getting the same error. I guess I will have to Odin back to stock and then update.

I'm having the same issue. Where can i find the official 4.3 rom?.....All i'm finding is the 4.2.2 stock which also fails using odin. I may be doing something wrong though.

I recommend you better TWRP or Philz Recovery. Flashing custom recoveries don't wipe your device :highfive:
No. Flashing recoveries will not wipe your device., but it will trip knox to 0x1. This will void your warranty.
I also recommend TWRP. I couldn't flash CWM recovery. I did, but it just booted into the stock recovery instead of CWM. So I flashed TWRP.
Now that i rooted my phone, sometimes after im dome using it, when i hit the power button to off the sceeen, the phone randomly reboots. It Just straight away goes to the samsung spinning logo and then goes to the homescreen. But during the reboot it doesnt play the song and it doesnt go to the screen that says samsung galaxy s4 gt i9505. It's like its a quick reboot idk. This has happened three times now. Is there a way to fix this?

Flash the latest firmware for your device for solve your problems.
Where do i get the latest firmware from? And i dont know which is the latest one. Also will this remove root?

And has flashing the latest firmware removed this problem for other people?

Is this happening because of something called knox? Also can you explain what will happen after i flash the latest firmware? Will i lose root?

Amazing!
Hi, I have the same problem.
I do a wipe reset and a root: root is not working.
I removing root and make some root tentatives:
In Windows (Odin): not working
In Linux (motoshopper): not working
I have the XXUGNG8 and I don't understand why since this update, I can't root again!
Do you have an idea please?
If your talking about the random reboots, it happened to me because i let supersu app disable knox. After that the random reboots started. I fixed that by unfreezing the apps through titanium backup. For me 2 apps called knox notification manager and migration agent were frozen so i unfroze them through titanium backup. Then the random reboots stopped
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
After that you have to remove all the knox files in your phone. Check here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514703
However, DO NOT delete a file called libknox_encryption.so otherwise your phone will not boot up.
