No I don't sorry
Don't know if this is what your lookin for ?
what drivers? PC S4 (USB and other) drivers? Go and install Kies and let it connect once, it will DL the proper drivers and install them, and after that kill Kies and Kies processes on your PC and you're set for Odin...
Edit: Then if you need those specific drivers again and on the same PC (or even a different one), then repeat the steps or simply perform the backup with Driver Magician or similar and you'll have them even after the PC format...
Dang! now I already rooted my phone. So whats next for me? Should i install recovery now?
Go ahead and install a custom recovery and flash away.

Here is cwm rec (bottom 1st post)here just flash the .tar via odin
PhilZ is an advanced version of custom recovery with more customization and options. It is working great and I don't really see the need to go for a regular CWM; either PhilZ or TWRP should be the way to go - depends on what you fancy more :good:

Be aware that Triangle Away doesn`t work yet for the I9500 so you can`t go back to full stock if you would like to, the counter will always be raised and the status will say custom/modified
1. Flash CF-Auto Root from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292615. Read the OP well
2. If you want to flash custom roms or kenels you need a custom recovery, i would take this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280457, flash with Odin.
3. Install busybox from Google Play if you want to run stock.
thanks alot ! a quick question .. if i9100 drivers are currently installed on my computer, do i have to remove them first and then install i9500 drivers ?

Hey,
I was flashing me S3 today I did everything correctly, but when I finally got to the home screen I noticed a caution circle where my signal should be, I thought it was just a glitch but when I reset my phone a few times saw it was there permanently.
Here what I mean http://gyazo.com/f64104214e8eb8a044f726317225f322
I look around online before coming here and most required dailing a number but I couldn't do any of that.
Have I really messed up my phone or is this a easy(ish)
I am now downloading the stock samsung 4.1.2 as I have read flashing the stock rom can sometimes work.

Please help! Lost root after upgrading to 4.4.2. When I tried to regain root by flashing CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.tar, boot loop resulted. It seemed I've lost stock recovery too. After removing the battery and switching to download mode, then vol down button, I managed to boot my device normally. Yet I still can't root my phone. Can anyone advise me on this issue? Thanks in advance.

I followed the instructions and used the files T530_NH7_Ker_W0lfDroid.tar.md5 and T530_ROOT_Ker_W0lfDroid.tar.md5.
But I have no recovery, which is working well.
I used the recovery.tar, which you can find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab...rp-2-7-1-0-galaxy-tab-4-10-1-sm-t530-t2830798
But with this Custom Recovery for me it's not possible to select a backup file...

I also found this recovery, but I can't copy it with ODIN. I tried the "twrp2840-190114_matissewifi" IMG, ZIP and TAR, but I always got an ODIN-error.
There is also an openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-matissewifi.img linked in this post.
Should I try this img or which one have you used?
Have you used Odin for flashing the recovery file?
Why was the head fool by towelroot if the counter has 0x1 ?

Wouldn't that method put knox to 0x1? Or am I mistaken. And couldn't he try using towelroot, depending on the version hes on?
He doesn't have a Verizon phone. He has an international model or at least that is what he listed. Not everyone can go up and down firmwares like we can.
You are right though. He could try towelroot first.

Your questions would be safer answered by someone on the Galaxy S5 international forum but I found a couple of things. Use with caution as I don't know anything about your device.
Here is a link on how to upgrade to lollipop if you are interested. Also, this custom recovery (CWM) was in the same link. I believe you might have an unlocked boot loader so you are way better off than we are.
I also found this:
Backup device
Quote:
Step 1. Boot into recovery(hold the menu button and volume up button all together simultaneously until the device reboots)
Step 2. Select the backup button and confirm backup
