Hi i brought my second s4. its 2nd hand and locked to EE. Unfortunately this one has knox bootloader and the previous owner has voided the warranty status to 0x1. i was hoping someone could point me to the right direction if there is already a root tutorial for my device firmware. also i would be grateful if you could advice me network unlocking the device. the service menu tutorial does not work for me. thanks
My phone details in about follow:
Android 4.2.2
Baseband Version: I9505XXUDMH6
Kernal Version: 3.4.0-1220396 [email protected] #1 TUE AUG 13 13 :23:04 KST213
Build: JDQ39.I9505XXUDMH6
SELinux: ENFORCING
Secure Boot Status: Type: Samsung
What would be the best and easiest method for me to root? i would prefer not to have a yellow triangle at boot up screen, are there any solutions.
Kind regards.
Thanks in advance

Hello everyone! In advance, i would like to say that i am new in android, since i have owned 3 different iphones (3g, 4 and 5) all of them jailbroken. Android OS seems far better and the xda-developers team is number 1 in android mastering, so i would like for someone to guide me how to CORRECTLY flash this rom by friedrich420 to 4.3, since i have never done it before in my life. I have read about odin and the several steps i need to make to install this rom, but i am very afraid of bricking my phone. What should i do first? I have downloaded Odin_307.zip; philz_touch_5.18.5-i9505.tar.md5; Modem_XXUEMJ5_[GT-I9505]; EchoeRom_v5_18Oct. Is it 1. root 2. backup 3. flash ROM 4. Flash modem?....i own an unlocked, never rooted version of Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505, bought in the UK. Heres the about info:
Model number: GT-I9505
Android version: 4.2.2

Any help or link with tutorial will be greatly appreciated. thank you very much and thank you xda-developers team for the great work you have been doing all these years!
Hello,
I have just gotten a Samsung Galaxy S4 from Sprint
SW and Baseband version read the same: L720TVPUAMK5
Hardware version: L720T.03
Model Number: SPH-L720T
Android Version: 4.3
Kernel Version:
3.4.0-2099174
[email protected] #1
Build Number: JSS15J.L720TVPUAMK5
SELinux status:
Enforcing
SEPF_SPH-L720T_4.3_0012
Secure boot status: Type: Samsung
I was planning on putting omnirom on it. (I am new to this and several friends have recommended this so I thought I would give it a shot.) I have followed run saferoot and finished all of the steps. It appears to have worked as I now have hotspot capability. I am wondering if anyone can point me to instructions video or text that would explain the steps for omnirom or cyanogen mod. I wanted to try omnirom first but if there are issues I will try cyanogen mod.
Thanks for any help

Just go to the CM thread and follow the instructions on therr to get you up and running. I'm not 100% it will work since all Roms are built for l720 and you are l720t.

Hello. These are my i9500's details:
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband version: I9500JKUAMD9
Kernel version: 3.4.5
Build number: I9500XXUAMDE
It is rooted and on the same stock rom I got when I purchased the phone, and according to these details:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9500
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
I'm quite convinced I don't have Knox.
I wanted to ask the following questions:
Is upgrading to 4.4.2 worth it? Are there any downsides?
Is upgrading to a stock 4.4.2 rom WITH root and WITHOUT Knox possible?
I'm guessing I'll need I9500XXUFNC2, right?
Thanks.

Hi,
1 yes is worth it , downsides , new bootloader with knox security ( you also have custom stock roms 100% stock experience like Omega Rom , all the 4.4.2 features , all samsung features also)
2 no
3 that would be an option , yes
Greetings,
I would like to ask, is it possible to install custom recovery and ROM on a Knox Bootloader without triggering Knox Flag 0x1. Please guide step by step or link me threads containing the instructions. Thanks!

Hello to all developers in the forum. I want desperately your help because i messed up with my phone.
Recently i changed rom to my device. I think that it had the stock firmware from its factory which it was 4.2.2 (i am not so sure).
I updated to 4.3 rom through many difficulties.
The information i can give you is this:
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
Android Version: 4.3
Baseband Version: I337UCUEMK2
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-1921628 KST 2013
Build Number: JSS15J.I337UCUEMK2
I would appreciate any help because my wifi doesn't work as well as the data,the keybord and many other applications. I think that i didnt install the correct kernel. All i did was through odin because i cant install rom through recovery mode. I also cant return to factory mode. PLEASE HELP ME
sammobile.com. didnt work for me!!!
Boot the phone into download to confirm the model #.
Do you see anything about Knox or warranty bit in download mode?
