any one know the changelog this firmware? the changelist is very changed....i found here http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=SM-P605
p.s sorry for my english
Has anyone flashed this yet? I flashed it and it goes thru the entire installation process and the fails to complete the "write bla. bla". But it installs all the parts of the firmware. So I tried to boot it and it failed with an message saying that I should use Recovery mode in Kies bla. bla. I flashed it again thinking it might have been just a one time error but no, same thing again. It seemed like stock recovery stopped my device from trying to boot, so I flashed TWRP and rebooted. To my supprise the device went in to boot process and BOOTED!!! No issues, well stock keyboard kept chrashing, it runs just fine. SO I boot in to recovery and let TWRP install Super SU for root and boot. No messages from Knox what so ever!! Not when starting root apps, not when it asks for root access and not when Super SU prompt shows up asking me if I want to grant this app superuser rights. I have not frozen any Knox apps and Knox apps is installed. It`s been a while since I rooted a stock firmware but as I remember there was Knox alerts everytime when apps asked for root, untill Knox was deleted or froozen.
If the install fails for the rest of you, just flash a custom recovery and theres a big chance it will boot for you also. But thats when Odin completes the install of all parts and fails to complete. Would be nice to hear if someone have installed it with out issues.

could you give us a changelog (multiuser support ?) , multitouchscreen fixed ? ; ....
I've downloaded the B2 firmware from SamMobile (I tried first on your samsung update website but the flashing didn't work), the "Baltic" one with odin 3.09 and the flashing worked. I've only used it for a couple of minutes and the only difference that I can see is that the the OS runs smoother, less lag and no more wake up lag. I'm not saying the lag magically disappeared, it's just much less noticeable. But of course it's definitely worth flashing it if, like me, you couldn't stand how laggy the previous firmware was.
EDIT: nickwarn, could you please explain me how you rooted your P605 with the new firmware? I'd like to do the same (I've already installed TWRP btw). Thanks
EDIT 2: Never mind nickwarn, I re-read your post and understood that you simply booted TWRP and let it install SuperSU when it asked you to install it. Thanks anyway

Howdy,
I am stuck and not sure what to do at this point. I have rooted this phone in the past with no problems with TowelRoot and I do not think anything has changed. I had JasmineRom installed but then I mucked up my SafeStrap install so I had to restore with Odin.
This is what I have done:
1) Flashed phone with NC4 firmware from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524572
2) Used the HLTE_USA_VZW_32G.pit file as well
3) Let Odin complete until it reached "Pass" state.
4) Pulled battery (as phone was stuck at the VZW logo), and booted into recovery mode then did a factory reset.
5) Booted phone fully.
6) Installed TowelRoot, BusyBox, SuperSU. TowelRoot said it worked. Neither SuperSU nor BusyBox will get me anywhere. By this I mean BusyBox complains about permissions and SuperSU eventually gets to the Disable Knox prompt but fails to do so then closes out. Check Root says device is not rooted. SafeStrap also fails of course, reports no root and busybox is not installed.
7) I did a factor reset from System. Let this completed and repeated the steps in 7) but with the same results.
I looked at TowelRoot thread, while I have not taken any additional updates after restoring with Odin, I do see that the dev has left his project to work for Google and fix such exploits. However, looking at other threads looks like people are still rooting with success so not sure what to think or what to try at this point.
Happy to provide any additional information if requested.
Thanks!
Hello,
I'm having problems installing custom recovery (both CWM and TWRP). I've already been installing custom recoveries before and then I decided to go fully stock. So, now I've been fully stock for quite a while and today I tried installing custom recovery. In Odin it says "Pass" but no custom recovery installed. I've disabled Reactivation lock and enabled USB debugging. I really don't know what's wrong.
If anybody knows what's the problem, I would really appreciate the help!!!
EDIT: The problem was in official TouchWiz build version. That version (in my case) couldn't been rooted and didn't allow another recovery being installed. I downgraded to BNL9 version, before I was on BOA3 version. You can easily find earlier version on sammobile.com
If you're rooted, use TWRP manager from Play store, few people have this issue, myself included
I just said I went fully stock. So, no. I`m not rooted. But thanks for the advice. Might need it in the future!

This happened to me a while back when I had a Galaxy S3, i found a solution, unfortunately, you must be rooted to do this solution.
In this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27597756&postcount=1 you'll find a section that states "Stock Recovery being reflashed after a reboot?" and there is the one solution that worked for me.
If you manage to find any of this files through a file explorer, it means that your ROM is flashing stock recovery on every boot. So you would need root access to rename them.
Thank you very much. I will certainly dig into this and search for it.
U need Root
You'll need root for that project.
I had the same problem.
I took CF-Autoroot and flashed it. Right afterwards I booted again manual into stock recovery mode and wiped cash and dalvik cash. After that -without reboot-
removed the battery for a minute. I reinserted the battery and I booted into download mode and flashed recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.4.7-kgsm.tar.
Finally, to stay off of KNOX, which always is going to bother, you should install an app, called: Knox-Disabler. It doesnt clean the phone from Knox, but it keeps Knox inactive.- :good:
Good luck
My SGS4 i9505 (Intl.) is running CyanogenMod 13.0, specifically cm-13.0-20160114-NIGHTLY-jfltexx with Gapps flashed.
I also have TWRP 2.8.7 installed on Recovery.
My phone had been working perfectly until this evening. I opened SuperSU app (which I downloaded from Play Store) and a message popped up saying i had to install SuperSU binary Normally or using TWRP/CWM. Normal Install popped up an error message, so I downloaded the zip from download.chainfire.eu (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46). Then saved it on my SD card and flashed it through TWRP.
After the installation-flashing was complete, I tapped on Reboot->System and since then I am stuck on loading screen.
Is there a way to undo the flashing (Don't care about SU, just want my data unharmed)?
What did I do wrong so as to avoid doing it next time?
Please help as soon as possible,
Thanks in advance.
no hope you needed to backup your data and format your phone anyway
CM13 is already rooted. You need to enable developer options and then enable root access under developer options.
Just dirty flash your phone with the cm13 zip and you should be fine.
Also remember twrp at times needs a shock treatment (in my language)
When your at the samsung logo which comes before the booting and it has been a while..just pull tbe battery out and after 30 seconds put it back and turn the phone on
Things should be fine.
Hi,
If you need SuperSU on CM13, use SuperSU 2.56 or newer.

Hello!
I have spent around 5-6 hours tonight fixing my phone. Before it had CM13 working just fine but my recovery didn't work (got an error when trying to enter recovery). I manged to solve that problem by doing lots of things I have already forgotten about now and to be honest I didn't really have any idea what I was doing as I am very new to this and have no knowledge about it.
Right now my CM13 works just fine. No problems booting. My recovery works just fine. I have CAF bootstack and the latest TWRP recovery that was mentioned in the guide. However, my SuperSU doesn't want to work properly. At first, I had to download the SuperSu app from Play Store. I don't know if that's how it is supposed to be. When I start the app it says "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?". I press Continue and it says "If you have a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM, that can be used to (try to) install the SU binary. This is recommended for HTC devices. How would you like to install the SU binary?". I have two options: "NORMAL" and "TWRP/CWM". If I press "NORMAL" it proceeds to installing and the circle is spinning and spinning... "Installing, please wait..." After about 30 seconds it says "Installation failed! Please reboot and try again". Rebooting and trying again doesn't help. If I try the TWRP/CWM option it reboots me into TWRP Recovery but nothing happens there. If I reboot system from recovery the problem remains. I googled a bit and found some thread where they said I needed to download some SuperSU zip-file and install it from recovery. I did that but that just broke it even more giving me some error saying SuperSu wasn't installed at all, or something like that. I ended up re-rooting the device and installing bootstack, CM, and GAPPS again.
I have enabled root access in the CM developer options menu, for both apps and ADB. I have downloaded Root Checker and it says i am rooted. In download mode it also says rooted.
Is there some step I have missed? Please help me. I just want CM13, Recovery, and SuperSU to all be working at the same time. Not just pick two, like I have done before.
I had the same problem on my d802. That thing you did in development settings worked for me. Is supersu so neccesary?
I just got this S5, baseband G900VVRU2AOI1. In the same developer rom I think @FancyPantsu posted about but I don't know if it's from the same source or the exact same phone model. It was flashed on odin, COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_G900VVRU2APA1_VZW2APA1_2572656_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5.
It has CID 11 so I know the bootloader is locked but I'm trying to get around it as it seems from tutorials I'm reading that it's possible. I installed kingroot and it's rooted successfully according to rootcheck, busybox is also installed without problems. But the point where my phone won't follow the tutorials is that I can't seem to make a supersu user. When I open it and try to update the binary, and press normal recovery, it goes for like 30 seconds before saying it failed and I need to reboot. Which I've done over and over and can't get it to work. I've tried flashing a SuperSu zip, still no changes. I'm trying to install safestrap eventually, but when I do it goes to 100% quickly, says install successfull but never activates. I also installed selinuxmodechanger and made sure it's set to passive. There was another solution I saw, that involved Kingo Superuser and removing root in the settings, but it didn't have the permissions.
As I understand it so far, I'm stuck in this circle. Like safestrap requires su binary to install, su binary requires safestrap to install, and any way to get one of those two requires the other first. Is there anything I'm missing or should try? It'd be much appreciated!
anyone there?
