Can't get root access?

I just tried getting root access via this guide using Odin, but although I've already updated the firmware first, it just doesn't take. It installs the superSU app, but not the binary it seems. Any idea where I can get it from? I also tried superuser instead, which allows me to get an up to date binary, but when it then tries to install the binary it fails.
Here's the guide I followed:
http://m.ibtimes.co.uk/galaxys4-gti9505-official-android422-xxuadmn-jellybean-firmware-464478.html

Any ideas?

XXUAMDM Root not possible?
Hi,
have done the same, tried to root the I9505 XXUAMDM (European LTE model) - there was no SU installed.
Therefore I installed the SuperSU from the market and checked, but it says that the SU Binaries are missing...
So what went wrong with rooting? Any suggestions
BTW: After the start of Titanium Backup the window asking about root for the app appeared.
Now starting Super SU I can see Titanium in the list, but short after start the mentioned "SU-Binary missing" window appears...

Exactly the same as me, the update went fine, the rooting seemed to go fine too, but the binary is supposedly missing.

Just been pointed to this thread, which works a treat:

It seems the method we used isn't compatible with the MDM and MDN firmware updates, so need to use a modified version of CF auto root instead. In that thread it also shows you how to reset the flash counter too! Result!

Pass, don't know! All I do know is the regular cf auto root didn't work for me on this firmware, but the modified one did.

OMFG I have googled and torn my hair our for hours and hours as I just could not get root on my MDM S4 using the methods detailed on this site, this modified file rooted it straight away with no problems. It REALLY needs to be shouted a bit louder lol !
Thanks all.

this doesnt work for i9500
this kernel does not root i9500.
anyway i have a different problem and its about bluetooth. is this the proper place or should i search elsewhere?

No, there's a different method to rooting for a gt19500.

Thanks

[Q] (Root not happening) S4 i9500 {4.3 - I9500XXUEMJ8} {CSC - INU} {How to root now?}

Hello developers.
I'm trying to reroot my phone after the latest 4.3 update via ODIN for my Indian handset.
I'm trying using CF-AutoRoot via ODIN and the it says PASS and the phone restarts normally as it should but the root is simply not happening.
there were 2 android 4.3 updates for my device and i installed the latest (you can see the post title for the exact version)
after everything completed properly i simply tried CF-AutoRoot via ODIN and nothing is happening.
Till 4.2.2, it got rooted properly without such or any other problems.
Kindly assist me out in getting my phone rooted.

Yep, I can´t re-root it again it seems the CF-Auto-Root-ja3g-ja3gxx-gti9500.tar its not working for the i9500XXUEMJ8 versión, well time to wait to an updated CF-Auto Root :crying::crying::crying:

I9500XXUEMJ5 root working (almost working)... i cant run some app, without root all apps working great ;/

Weird. I rooted using CF Auto Root after flashing 4.3 MJ8, it always worked! I never did OTA update though, always used Odin and full wipe.

The rooting worked so far for me. Have you enabled KNOX? They enhanced the security features and as far as I heard KNOX-enabled devices can't get full root. Verify whether it is enabled or not. I'm not sure whether the user enables it or not but that may be the reason. I'm also not sure whether this KNOX security really affects I9500 models. I9505 models are definitely affected.

Probably I never full wiped.
The apps and all other data is retained (normally all is retained when we update rom via odin).
Factory reset (full wipe) was never required earlier to get root to work.
Knox is not on from my side though I get some notifications always that some app tried to access something and Knox blocked that. But I guess that is something else because we need to manually activate Knox after opening the Knox app.

Solved!

what was the solution? did you need to do a fullwipe? or used another method for rooting?
im on 4.2.2 MG9 and would like to update to 4.3 and have root without the know issue.
thanks.

Backup and Factory reset and cache clear after updating to 4.3
Then you'll get stock Samsung 4.3
Follow the same method to root (auto root) or alternatively flash super su via cwm/twrp/stock recovery.

Thank you. Will this trip the knox thing?

After using CF-AUto root you need to update Super SU App on first boot.
Then Open SuperSU app and choose to install SU Binary without using a custom recovery.
Then reboot.
Then install Titanium backup pro and use it to free all Knox related files.
There are 7 of them and you need to remove all of them.
Remember you need to install a custom recovery to install busybox. (atleast in my case)
Install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489234 via ODIN.
Once you are on custom recovery.
Use busybox installer to install busybox.
reboot.
You are done.

No mate.
Wait for a future update to trip that.
In the mean time, I'm trying to trip that since it isn't very difficult just lazy to try everything since everytime 1 thing fails, I need to restore the whole data and if takes much of my bandwidth.
Hope you understand.
And the device status will also remain custom.

P.S. Touchwiz UI from Samsung will hang on a later date due to some app compatibility issue (I'm not sure which app but I can tell a large set of apps and it will hang due to any one from that list) so it is preferred to shift to some other launcher on pre hand.

thank you both avineshwar and ajhavery.
i really wanted to update but i guess i am going to wait for a while. lots of issues seem to be happening once rooted. also dont want to lose warranty with the knox thing.
it seems the custom roms such as arrow and crash also have sound issues, FC issues on some apps.
i guess ill wait and see. maybe once the nexus 5 is out i can sell the i9500 and get the nexus 5.

Waiting is good.
Don't sell your phone though (for obvious reasons).
You've got much to explore.
When it comes to selling, you'll get money whenever you do that so keep that option as your last bet.
Custom roms aren't really preferred from my side until you are a die hard modification fan!.
Rooting is the only problem (which is solved now I guess) on the latest firmware.
Rooting won't do any problem, believe me (except warranty).

hello again, i am asking this question because i cant post in the development forum yet.
i downloaded 3 files from the OP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317105
the PDA, CSC and modem. all for MJ8, downloaded PDA is odex.
when i flashed 3 of the files with ODIN like shown in op my device. After i restarted i got errors for Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps .
i searched on google and did what was suggested, like clearing dalvik cache, resetting default apps, uninstalling the play store update etc.
the phone was unusable, the errors popedup every second.
I had to go back to the MG9 4.2.2 firmware.
What did i do wrong?
have you guys tried the method mentioned in the post. it prerooted and knox free 4.3 firmware.

Probably you want to upgrade to 4.3?
If so goto sammobile.com and find the latest firmware for your device from there, download and flash the same via odin.
You're now on 4.3!
Once done you can root from the auto root method by chain fire.

[Q] How do I stop ATT update?

First off I apologize if this is in the wrong section or has been asked before, I couldn't really find the answer I'm looking for.
So I have my S4 (4.2.2 if it matters) rooted and TWRP recovery loaded on it. I was getting the ATT update message and I kept hitting ignore or remind me latter, however I noticed last night it starts to try to install and restart without giving me an option to cancel it. I quickly remove the battery to prevent my phone from updating.
My question is, how do I stop this update when I turn my phone back on? I don't want it to update the firmware and lock my boot loader. Or am I making a big deal over nothing?
Thanks in advance

Thanks so much.
Just one more think, I just want to make sure that when I turn my phone back on that the update won't finish installing (it was in the process of installing when I shut it off).
Thanks again for all the help.

I'm assuming that u have MDB/MDL firmware. ......Take your Att sim card out. ... u need to root your phone. ... install Titanium back up and go to Att software update app ....back up first just incase u need it to return to att and then uninstall it...... that's should stop it from OTA update
SWYPED_FROM_S4_MF3_REDVENOM

Yep, you're going to want to root and then rename or freeze those files, you found in the Google search. That will stop the update

Taking just the SIM out at this point won't help. Only way to completely stop it now since it was installing is to Odin back to MDL and start the root process.

So not to keep asking the same question, when the sim card is out of the phone, will that prevent the update from installing?
Also to clarify, I've already rooted my phone and installed TWRP recovery. Again at this point I just want to make sure that when I turn my phone on the update isn't going to automatically finish installing before I can block the app/files
Again, thanks so much for the help, can't wait to get a rom installed and start enjoying the awesomeness

I'd follow graydiggy suggestion. Don't turn it on except to go into download mode. Flash the mdl firmware, then root again and freeze the update apps or install a custom Rom

I could be wrong but I believe the update won't apply since the stock recovery has been replaced with a custom recovery . If I am wrong Im sure somone will come in and correct this statement .

Won't matter

If you have a custom recovery, the update should fail the install with an error 7. However, I would still completely start from scratch by using Odin to get a clean slate without an update. You could actually use Kies and do the emergency restore. Whatever you do, do not boot the phone into the OS until it has been completely wiped by either Odin or Kies. Only download mode.

boot into recovery and in twrp manually go erase the update.zip from cache/fota. Then wipe cache before rebooting. That, or flash the PIT file. I posted directions on how to extract the stock signed PIT file but you'll probably need someone to extract one for you since you dont want to boot to Android yet.

[Q] Is Kingo not working at all?

I'm interested in the new ROMs that are out but before I start playing I want to have my odin and root steps up to date. I notice that there have been several folks have had kingo fail and have had to use vroot. Is this the standard to use now? Just want to be sure I'm doing this correctly.
I'm on the current baseband and kernel, if that helps.
Thanks in advance.

I used Vroot the other day to re root my phone after a reset and replaced the Chinese superuser with Chainfires supersu. You can install it either via Playstore or flash it in safestrap witch I prefer. Also be sure to uninstall whatever other Chinese app gets installed. I have no idea what it is because I can't read it. As a added precaution I also removed my sim card during root. As for Kingo It didn't work for me but there is activity on their twitter account.

They must have just got Kingo working because I used it twice today. The second time worked on the first try. I tried it a second time after a full Oden reset just to make sure. Had some extra time today to play around.

Worked for me too with MJE. Used USB 3.0 cable in USB 3.0 mode MTP. Prior to that failed in ODIN mode and in MTP mode without USB 3.0. But may be just random luck. Now have Supersu app.
Questions:
1. Should I use that Supersu or change. Looks like same old Supersu, but the version with yellow superman shield and red # sign.
2. Also, it asks if I want to disable Knox. Should I do that? Does that risk tripping know counter?

Keep supersu but update it to the current v1.93 either by Play Store or flashing in safestrap and yes disable Knox it will not trip the counter. Enjoy.

Yes K works even though it says it fails. I posted my experience back on Feb 3 in another similar thread or look via my profile. In short it will say that it failed but su app shows up and use a root checker to verify. Removal of sd card and pulling and replacing the sim card before root might help. Also watch you phone for a security permission to add an app. I sat an extra five minutes before realizing it.

Verizon compatible Roms???

Where are the download pages(Links) for the Roms? Where are the instructions? I wish XDA would go back to the way they were a couple 2-3 years ago. This site was great back then, now I can't find anything. When I do find something there is nothing with it or it is wrong. Please, someone help me to find the page that has the Custom Roms and Install Instructions...
I am on OF1, Rooted & Unlocked..... If that helps. I have Flashfire, TB (Which doesn't work right anymore.), Flashify, SuperSU, BusyBox, TWRP Manager on now. I have never worked with TWRP Manager nor Flashify so I am a newby to them.

I am on OF1, Rooted & Unlocked..... If that helps. I have Flashfire, TB (Which doesn't work right anymore.), Flashify, SuperSU, BusyBox, TWRP Manager on now. I have never worked with TWRP Manager nor Flashify so I am a newby to them.
Thanks.

What's wrong with Titanium Backup? Is it giving you the insufficient storage notification?

TB
Yes it is. TB stops and gives me the insufficient space notification.
I'd also like to know how to get a custom Rom on now. I'm OF1, Rooted, Unlocked, TWRP(Which I don't know how to use), Flashify, FlashFire, SuperSU, BusyBox. I have tried Jasmine 6.1 about 8 times and it does not work on my phone. My phone is a Verizon Retail SM-N900V Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

Yea I got TB to work by going into the settings in SuperSu and unchecking mount namespace separation. Im trying to figure out how to get a custom ROM on my phone as well. I got Jasmine to work but I want to try one of the new ones. At least get a new kernel flashed for Jasmine. Did you try and make a backup in TWRP yet?

I may be wrong, but I think the links to most of the ROMS you have seen have been deleted because they are not fully working as of yet.

Video.......
I've tried that video about 8 times to no avail. As for the backup on TWRP, no I haven't. I'm not familiar with TWRP so I'm leery as to using it.

I never got it to work either. I had to Odin back to stock unrooted and re-root. Then unlock, all over.

I'm sorry man. Once you reboot into recovery TWRP will give you options. The backup process is fairly easy but could be confusing when it's your first time. I'll try and find an explanation video for you and let me find the process I used to get Jasmine to work. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I'll get back to you.

I think I might know what it was. When I flashed Jasmine ROM I hadn't unlocked the bootloader yet. And I just flashed it with flash fire. There was no computer involved after I installed of1 update and rooted the phone. Make a backup and try it again. Make sure you don't have both flash fire and TWRP installed. And that you have super su instead of kingroot.

TWRP
I've got FlashFire and TWRP both on and it seems to be fine. I went into recovery and did a backup with TWRP and it seems fine. I would just like to get a Custom Rom to work on here now. I use to run them all of the time before 4.4.3 came out. I finally got the TB back working and saving but it takes a very long time to run now.

Don't use that video its for a method that was used before the unlocked bootloader....
You obviously have never owned a d1 or anything else you could flash a ROM and such with... There is a tread called working vzw ROMs. You really need to figure out how to use twrp recovery not those apps you have. If you installed recovery use it. If not install flashify and choose the recovery for n900 4.4its the top one... Its all in a tread do the work and look.
