Hi everyone, I'm new to android and having problems rooting my Sprint S4. I tried to root using ODIN but apparently Sprints newest update has made it impossible to root. My phone was believed to be rooted but the supersu app say that there is currently no binary installed. When I try to update the binary it just fails. I don't know where to go from here. I was going to flash the stock firmware but I cant find one for this build. All help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Are you sure you have the right files ? For the n9005 ? (If that is your phone)

NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.
this? yes i tried it but it still does not boot into recovery, doesnt even boot loop just gets stuck in the screen i mentioned earlier
Now if i boot into download mode this is my screen
http ://i.imgur. com/SPO8jHF.jpg
Write protection: Enable ... is that something that can be a reason for this? :silly:
And what does Odin say ? If it says pass, you should do the "pull out battery and manually boot into recovery" and it should work. I still think you have the wrong file, maybe for 4.4.2 ? Maybe a bad download, try again.

Tell me, can I flash xnote rom with cf root?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app
Lol, 4.3 or 4.4.2 ?
You could, but you'll need a custom recovery. But more I won't tell you. Spoon feeding is bad. :banghead:
And the fact, that you didn't see the link for the 4.3 file, wich was posted in the same sentence as the 4.4 link, I think you should really do some reading.
Every rom has its installation instructions written in the thread.
Sent from my N9005
Yes sorry about that. I just need guidance I can't find a recovery via Cwm for instance and the x note thread doesn't seem to have an install guide , I just want a kit kat based rom for my note and the last time I flashed a recovery+rom it was a galaxy gio and that was done via sd card and 2 zip files hehe
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app
See, that's why I hate this. How can you say it doesn't have a guide on how to install it, if it clearly does. My first custom rom, coming from 4.3 to 4.4 was xnote. And guess what, i flashed it with the help of the instructions posted on the site, and a bit of Google search too. Why do i even bother, I'm over and out. Maybe someone else will spoon feed you.

Rooting my device
Hello,
I am going to purchase an S4, I9505 and I would like to root the phone, just simply because I want to remove a bloatware apps and gain true control of the device.
My question is - if I follow the instructions in the first 3 posts to letter, how much is the chance to brick the phone? The phone is already on 4.4.2. Do I need to do anything else, or just follow the guide?
I know its a silly question, but I am going to spend some money on the device, and don't want to brick it...
Thank you in advance!

0,0000000001%. It's almost impossible to brick your phone.
Root have stopped working.
I9505, 4.2.2, XXUAMDE.
The phone have been rooted for more than a year.
Yesterday I tried "Wondershare\Dr.Fone for Android" as some smemo have been lost. Im not 100% sure this is why the root was lost.
Today I downloaded CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5 and re-rooted using Odin3.
The process seemed to run fine - but SuperSu cant start - get the "no binary fil installed" error.
What can I do?

Will CF Auto Root work on an S4 (Android 4.4.2) with the baseband version I9505XXUGNJ3? I really can't afford a new phone but I want to root this one so I'm taking as many precautions as possible. Thanks.

I would install a custom recovery and get the root access through this one. Everytime I made that this way, works pretty good. I'm always using philz touch recovery

Hi!
I am willing to root my Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 (brand-Vodafone Italy and running XXUGNJ5 firmware) using CF Auto-Root, in order to flash TWRP and Google Edition ROM on it.
It is not a network-locked smartphone, but just "branded" (it gets some easily uninstallable Vodafone bloatware each time I update it via OTA, however I can use whatever SIM I want in it): is it risky for me to root it using Chainfire Auto-Root?
Rooting a nordic s4
I got a nordic s4.
Xxugnj8 4.4.2. I OTA 1 week ago.

Rooting I9505G running LRX21P
Hi all,
I tried rooting my I9505G running Lollipop 5.0.0 LRX21P. I used ODIN and CF-Auto-root. SuperSu now wants to update, but the update fails.
I later realized that the CF version I used was not meant for Lollipop. Thankfully, my device is still working normally.
Any ideas on how to root?
Thanks a ton!

More info is needed in order for XDA community to help. Which phone variant do you have i9500 or SGH i337? What firmware are you on? What root process did you use, also what rom did you try to flash?

Ah yes, here:
i) SGH i337m
ii) 4.4.2
iii) CF-AUTO-ROOT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293800)
iv) Aaaaaaaaaaaaand... multiple Lollipop roms found here and one for the i9505 which rendered the same result (that is - no result, other than having to go through the first time boot setup from Samsung, which happens with all of them)
I had some difficulty finding where the legitimate i337 XDA was, but I think I found the right place (here)
Thanks already, regardless of if we figure it out

Do I have to simply flash a custom recovery?
Well I bricked it since no one would help me. Come on community, I've have 4 year old phone communities that were more helpful. Currently my phone sits there with the big "GALAXY S4" and n the top left, really tiny in 3 different colours it says,
Recovery Booting...
Recovery is no seandroid enforcing
Set Warrany Bit: recover

It sounds like you'll have to use odin and flash the stock firmware and then start the process over again. You should be able to find the firmware at sammobile.com.
Then root using cf
Flash twrp recovery, after root get flashify from the play store and flash the twrp image file in it, http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jfltecan
Then you can flash roms.

I rooted My S4 last year using towel root. Then ,AT&T updated my phone to Baseband NI1,and I lost root. Since then ,every time an AT&T software update message comes in ,I try to let it update ,and it always fails. As of now I am still on 4.4.2 NI1 and no root. Is there any way to re gain root access?

You'll need to flash the nc1 module in Odin, then root with towelroot. See this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53758227

I think you need to read a good few threads before messing about if you are asking that. Or your next thread will be "Help! I've bricked my phone"
At least Google what CF Auto Root is...

CF AR is just root, if you want custom recovery, you need to flash that separately
