Already Rooted
Hi! I've recived a Galaxy S4 Copy that were Rooted without any manipulation. When I've installed CpuZ from Google Play, I saw that the field "Rooted : YES " So I've just installer SuperSU and tried any app that tests root and that magic window with SuperUser autorisation appeared !
Hope it helps !
Hi! i bought a Galaxy S4 i9500 and i am having trouble unlocking it. it was originally running the stock 4.3 android and i tried entering my sim but instead of prompting me for an unlock code it just says no service emergency calls only. I've tried the *#0011# thing but i cant get past the first step. when i click menu then input and type in 1 it doesnt bring me to the main menu instead it says menu no exist current command 111. i got fed up and installed cyano mod 11 right now but still cant figure out how to unlock it. If anyone could help that would be awesome!

nead you help desperately
any help
any help any one
:fingers-crossed:
You need to go to the at&t section on xda. This section is not for your phone.
Because you don't give any details about the Odin error, I can't help you further.
Most Odin errors can be solved by:
- Other cable
- Other usb port
- Other pc.
My problem is that I wanted to update my phone a lollipop
using CM12, what rootee and all, but did not support the EFS
folder and lost my phone's release came as released to any
operator when you buy. I wanted to reinstall the original
firmware and try to restore EFS, but I turned off the phone and
would not turn me more or Download Mode. When connected
to pc calls me QHS-USB_BULEK install the drivers and I have not
gotten to the model Galaxy S5 SM-G900M if anyone can help me
revive my phone or know of any way to turn it back on I would
appreciate. And sorry for my bad English.
Hi!! I same problem, Any Solution? Any Idea? Best regards.

Hi everyone,
Im new in rooting phone so i will ask question. My phone Samsung Galaxy A5 2015 (a500s) i root it now but i want to install TWRP for recovery then I look in google and in XDA and I can't get a TWRP file that will fit/compatible for my phone so I try other file but for samsung galaxy a5 (2015) here is the link where I get the file ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/general/to-port-twrp-to-galaxy-a5-a500fu-t3150843 ) then I try it in flashify but after I reboot The only thing happen is that it is stuck in logo and on the upper left written "ODIN MODE" at the bottom of it is my phone model : SM-A500s and etc then wont turn on and I dont get the TWRP Recovery mode its just stuck at logo with something written beside the phone model. So i plan to flash stock rom again and root it again. Also after rooting it something is written at the upper left "Set Warranty Bit: kernel" i dont know how to fix that.
Anyone can help me to have a TWRP file that is compatible and how can i fix that problem after rooting. Im hoping that someone here can help me with this problem THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO THE ONE WHO CAN HELP ME :good::good:
