Hi, I have an Samsung Galaxy S3 updated to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and rooted with cf-root 6.4 and I would like I have readed that chainfire think that is "better" cf-auto-root so now I would like way mobile odin pro change cf-root to cf-auto-root if this is possible.
Can you help me? I don´t have post for post in the chainfire post and I don´t know if with mobile odin I can put cf-auto-root and how I can do.

Back up your data using Titanium Backup or any other backup tools.
Then flash stock JB firmware, root it using cf-auto root.
Restore data.

Ok, thanks

Lolz just leave the **** alone. You are already on firmware you want to be and you're rooted....? Leave it alone. No point going through all that work for nothing.
**** delete custom, that is reflash custom recovery with regular one and you got yourself auto root lol. Then when you get to the point that you'll need custom recovery, do it all over again.
Highly suggest you go read again what auto root is and does without blindly thinking it's better and automatically thinking you gotta redo it. You don't!

What's the problems with 6.4 usage on jellybean?
At moment I am having major problems I first thought as nothing, but basically I am seeing increased battery drainage since I updated. I also am having some "wifi suffocation" - Wifi media would just cut and you need to disable and enable wifi to get it working again. I updated a rooted phone via kies and rooted it with 6.4 so I am trying to know if these problems are just my old settings being incompatible, CF root 6.4 and/or BusyBox or just a general NEE Jellybean error...

Thanks to all for your answers. For now I don´t will change until new firmware

No problem whatsoever with cf root. Chainfire simply decided not to make and use custom recovery anymore. So he took it out. Which is his right anyways.
Your counter will still increase with auto root as with original for initial flashing via Odin. After which you can perpetually flash with 'mobile odin', preserving root. Which is probably what he wants and it makes sense for those of us that own it.
Those that want custom recovery for flashing zips will have to flash it separately. Which unless flashing with mobile odin will make the counter show 2 (auto root + recovery) instead of one with original cf root.
For those that care about warranty and Chainfire already hinted he might stop playing cat and mouse with samsung and samsung changes something so that current triangle away stops working...

Sounds good really - and seems like it at least is not CF root that is causing my problems, something is what is making me go through complete wipe and firmware reinstall probably from sammobile source. I hope I get it fixed and it is not something in the firmware itself because the Jellybean IS nice.

[Q] What next? I9505 LTE

Hello all!
I have the following current set-up:
GT-I9505
Droid: 4.2.2
Baseband: I9505XXUAMDM
Kernel: 3.4.0-526204, [email protected] 1
Recovery: pHILZ
So I have just powered into Philz and selected to a backup and here my questions begin:
Where is the backup located ?
Should I also leave it on the phone (takes up just under 2gb) ?
What custom rom is the best (state your reasons) ?
My device just told me there is an update avalible, however I can't get it due to being on a modified phone Any ideas?
What can be safely removed from the apps (Samsung stuff, google play books etc?)
Thanks guys

The backup should be somewhere in external SDCard (I don't use Philz recovery)
Should I also leave it on the phone (takes up just under 2gb) ?

Definitively yes, so you have it ready if you mess up with something on your phone and you are far from a computer.
I make frequent backups, and I delete the previous one once the new one is finished.
What custom rom is the best (state your reasons) ?

Just try some of the available ones and see which one suits you best.
Such question is forbidden on XDA.
As for the official updates, you can't apply them to your device since you flashed things on it. You have to revert back to official firmware and erase the flash counter. Or wait for the official firmware to be used in a custom flashable ROM...

Answers to all of your questions are easily found by searching.

I tried searching but didn't get the answers I needed, I understand some people just post without searching, but I assure you thats not the case here

It is official, but you have to get your official status back and reset flashing counter (step 3 of the guide you followed : "If you want, after rooting with odin, to get official status and reset binary counter ON I9505 for warranty reason, do it before flashing stock firmware, refer to this link").

Thanks XS_31 I will take a look at that now.

I had read that thread, but I also read that there were some issues with it (permissions, at least with the 4.3 image). So I don't want to go with that option just yet. I prefer for now the stock ROM.

as far as I know, and depending on who you trust, KingoApp and VROOT have not been able to produce evidence that they are NOT harvesting IMEI numbers. The last I read is that XDA admins remove all download links to KingoApp and VROOT software. In the past several warnings have been posted about both apps. Unless anyone know that these apps are ok now?

in the "old days" we could use something like RootKeeper... i.e., for example root an older version of android (like 4.2.2), upgrade to a newer version (like 4.3) and subsequently lose root, and then restore the root with RootKeeper. Is that possible with this phone?

I havent test with i9506 but with Xcover2 (GT-S7710) I have updated two phones via OTA and root has remain after update.
Possible with i9506 I bet root wont remain, atleast with 4.3 update cause KNOX.

How I managed to root my I9506:
Note: If you updated to 4.3 via OTA, it is very likely that you wont be able to flash custom recovery via Odin.
1) Reflash the full 4.3 firmware that i got mine form sammobile via odin
2) Follow through the steps in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529064
Warning : After rooting through the steps above my phone KNOX Warranty Void : 0x1
(Not sure if this is due to the SuperSU disabling the KNOX or the actual rooting process)

Hey!
Like in other treads, like galaxy S3 I9xx was talked http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597774, the 4.3 and later have already KNOX installed and if you install custom recovery or root your device, you probably fire the KNOX warranty to 0x1. Still there no one who was able to reset this KNOX warranty to 0x0, like TRIANGLE AEAY is resetting your flashing counter.
Then DONT install any CUSTOM RECOVERY or try to ROOT your device in 4.3 or later, if you want your warranty(ofcourse if there is already have the way, how to reset KNOX).
PEACE FOR ALL!!!

The simple answer is--if you want to avoid any unnecessary problems--upgrade the Bootloader to MJ5--don't go to a more recent version if you think that you might ever want to downgrade to a 4.1.2 ROM. Personally, I think that this is unlikely since 4.3 is a better option than 4.1.2, and it follows that 4.4.2 is an improvement on 4.3.
I am still on MJ5 but mainly due to issues with KNOX in later Bootloaders.
One day I will upgrade--but maybe, by then, some amazing Dev will have figured out a work around for Samsung's dumb KNOX.
If you are moving up from 4.3 to 4.4.2 then Philz 5.15.0 is not suitable--you should upgrade Philz to 6.19.3, or 6.25.0 [ or even 6.15.4]--some ROMs require unticking the option to Update the Binary in Philz--therefore a lot of folks prefer to go with a recent edition of TWRP. 2.6.3.2, or 2.7.0.0

My query is something similar:
I have been facing a peculiar issue of not being able to restore my backups in recovery (tried with backups in internal as well as external sd). Right now, am using stock pre-rooted MKD by dr. Ketan topped up with mod project V3.5 by tamirda and dr.Ketan. The recovery is Philz Touch 5 CWM base Version: v6.0.3.7, Build version: 5.15.0-n710x-i317M-T889.
Not being able to restore creates innumerable problems and have to begin flashing a rom from scratch. Today, I realised that my bootloader is DMG1 (attaching a screenshot). Does this has anything to do with my problem? And further, since am going to flash pre-rooted kitkat, should I change my bootloader, and if yes, to which version?
I originally posed this query to dr. ketan but since he is busy with the kitkat rom for all of us, any help from anyone would be heartily appreciated.
regards,
Durgesh

Most of what I wrote above applies to your case--upgrade Bootloader using ODIN and Bootloader Tar file, don't use Philz 5.15.0, but one of the later versions.
As I say--the more recent Bootloaders are fine, in fact desirable, if you are not worried about Samsung Warranty issues--if your phone is out of Warranty--because they will trip the counter in Download Mode--the only suitable Bootloader that does not trip the counter is MJ5--and this works fine with KitKat.
On an older Bootloader some folks have no problems--but others have all sorts of issues--yours could be an example of this.
I can't guarantee that your backup issue will get fixed but certainly making a good Nandroid with a suitable version of Philz or TWRP gives a greater chance of a satisfactory Restore.

[GUIDE] How to downgrade NOTE 10.1 (N8000) from Android 4.4.2 KK to stock 4.1.2 JB

Thanks to http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4707707 (ERIC-MOD) for guiding me, today I would like to share my experience on how to downgrade the SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 10.1 (GT-N8000) from the Samsung official firmware update Android 4.4.2 BACK TO Android 4.1.2
Requirements
-1. Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000 (for models like N8010 or N8013 may work also) *NOT A BRICKED ONES
-2. Root access required (For those doesn't know how to root, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv8440QhHsw this guide will help you)
-3. [root] Mobile ODIN Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&hl=en
-4. Note 10.1 GT-N8000 ANDROID 4.1.2 Jellybean Firmware http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=gt-n8000 (If you're having N8010: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=gt-n8010 If you're having N8013: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N8013 ) Make sure to find your own country's firmware (Update: Here's a new link for firmwares: https://samsung-firmware.org/model/GT-N8000/ )
Optional
-Notebook or PC running Windows
-Samsung USB Cable (Use genuine if possible)
It is very good to hear that Samsung had published a new firmware update for Note 10.1, that is the newest Android version (KitKat 4.4.2 update), but it is also very annoying that all the functions we usually used are gone (Example: Screenshot button, S Pen Shortcut Toolbar, Multi Window and so on). It also became very laggy (don't know whether you experience such problem) and can't even multitask anymore. Some of you might not experience that because it depends on how you uses the tablet, but some of you may be regretting why did u update your device......you might be searching for a guide to downgrade it..... And you found this post!
I'm not responsible if you bricked your device or making your device even worse using this tutorial! If you don't think that you are experiencing any problem or actually you liked Android KITKAT more than JELLYBEAN, you have the rights not to downgrade it, I am not forcing you to downgrade your device, its your own choice. Also, YOU ARE TAKING YOUR OWN RISK TO DO THIS BECAUSE YOUR WARRANTY WILL BE VOID!
Let's Get Started
Preparation
1. Make sure your device is ROOTED.
2. Backup all your important data and all your apps, you may use Helium Backup for Android
3. Make sure you have [root] Mobile ODIN Pro installed on your device.
4. Make sure you downloaded the Android 4.1.2 firmware into your device's SD card or internal storage.
*Optional- or download it using PC and transfer to your device.
Main Instruction
1. Launch [root] Mobile ODIN Pro.
2. Grand access with superuser.
3. Mobile Odin Pro requires an add on, so DOWNLOAD IT.
4. Select "Open File... (Open file to archive .tar, .tar.md5, and separate files supported)"
5. Locate to where you downloaded your 4.1.2 firmware.
6. Everything will be automatically done, now just TICK the Wipe date and cache, TICK the Wipe Dalvik cache (as shown in the picture below)
7. Click Flash firmware (please keep in mind your device will factory reset it)
8. Wait for some time and it should be revert back to your BELOVED ANDROID 4.1.2 JELLYBEAN SYSTEM!
It's simple, but only the time matters. So this is how I Downgrade it (Again SUPER THANKS TO http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4707707 MR. ERIC-MOD, without his help, I wouldn't have my device getting downgraded).
This thread shows how he helped me out http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...how-to-downgrade-note10-1-n8000-to-4-t2807106
Hope you guys enjoy this~ If you have any question, or you find that I am wrong, reply me to let me know so that i can update the details~
If I've helped you, please give me a "Thanks" by pressing 'thanks button', or also say thanks to Eric-Mod
Q: Can I use Odin PC version?
A: Sorry, you can't. It might end up soft breaking your device.
Q: Can I downgrade my device to android 4.1.2 with a custom android 4.4.2 rom?
A: It's better not to downgrade using this method as it is used for downgrading from Samsung Official android 4.4.2 firmware to android 4.1.2 firmware, not a custom android 4.4.2 firmware.But...you can still try it if you want to take the risk. (AUG, 3rd, 2014, Tested by a junior member 'johnattas' from XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=5092748 , was told that downgrading from a custom rom using this method was a success. More info on page 3, you can find it yourself)
*PS* 1. received a complaint that after downgrading, should not allow Samsung to update itself or else may cause brick.
2. received a complaint that after downgrading, cannot charge the device when it is turned off. Still can charge when turned on.
3. received a private message from andrewjcox telling that the above method had successfully downgraded his Note 10.1 N8020 model. Not sure how he did it on "N8020" device, message him for more info if you need help.
Note: I will keep updating this thread for more detailed tutorial. (Discontinued)
Note! 10th of June, 2016 I will no longer provide supports to this tutorial., Chances of worsening your device are low I would say, you can still use the tutorial but it is your own RISK to do that.

I don't think you can because of KNOX loaded onboard.

Sorry, I don't know how to revert it because there is no need to revert using [root] Mobile Odin Pro...
Anyways, why do you need to revert it?
And.... It seems like your rom was not the official samsung official update.... you having custom kitkat rom?

You want to update to the samsung official update kitkat? I recommend you don't update, it's laggy, some of key features has gone, and this is why i posted this thread for downgrading back to 4.1.2 jellybean.
Root also lets you to have more options to modify your tablet... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv8440QhHsw This is a very simple way to root it.
Please tell me if I had misunderstood what you have said and by the way it is not really possible to revert bootloader as i can't find any tutorial for this until now.

Well... Maybe it will be possible in the future because IMPOSSIBLE = I'M POSSIBLE:fingers-crossed:, but you dunno how long you will need to wait for someone who finds out how to unlock it, and even though if someone really unlocks it already, doesn't mean he will do tutorial for how to unlock (anyway i found this http://www.galaxyunlocker.com/pages/how-to-unlock-samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-n8000 if you liked). You get what i meant?

OH PLEASE DON'T! It MIGHT ending up soft breaking your device. Thats why I mentioned [root] mobile odin pro for downgrading.

battery wont charge when note is turned off
I downgraded my n8000 to jb 4.1.2 exactly as you described
Every thing is ok but when note is off and connected to charger
Only battery icon stuck and not charging only charge when note is on

I did not know there was a problem with downgrading from 4.4.2, so I casually flashed a custom 4.0.4 ROM and then a custom 4.1.2 ROM. So far, there has been nothing wrong with my N8000, but seeing this worried me a bit. Am I supposed to do anything else?

Same here. I was on official 4.1.2 with root and custom recovery and did a nandroid backup before I upgraded to official 4.4.2 the other day.
The custom recovery got replaced with stock recovery after the upgrade so I reflashed it (the custom recovery) in Odin 3.09. I then booted into custom recovery and restored the nandroid for my 4.1.2 backup.
Everything is working just fine, no charging issues with the screen on or off.

same device info but not rooted
Hi. I also like to downgrade my n8000 and I've checked your other post, we have the same information about our device but mine is not yet rooted. Honestly I don't know what is rooted or not. I just download a root checker in the playstore coz i've read it in your other post and it says my device is not yet rooted. (Also, i'm not a techie person hehehe so I don't know some other complicated terms ) Can i downgrade without rooting it? Hope I can get back to the jelly bean firmware coz the kitkat really sucks. Hope you can help me. Thanks in advance

Nah mate you have to be rooted.

You can downgrade without rooting. There is one possibility to downgrade without rooting your note 10.1. The method involves downloading stock 4.1.2 rom from sammobile and then removing bootloader files from it then u can flash that modified file with pc odin easily.

I think this problem is related to new 4.4.2 bootloader. Mine also got the situation.

Thanks

I followed all directions and successfully downgraded to a much better build 4.1.2 :good:
Thanks again!!
