Trying to instal Philz Touch problem

Hey guys, I'm pretty new here and new to rooting devices. I recently just rooted my Samsung Galaxy S 4 SGH-1337 (At&t) with the new "TowelRoot" and then using Super SU to finish the root. I has a question when it came to installing the recovery Philz Touch. I have the 4 most recent versions of PT and using Odin v3.09 and v3.07 I am still unable to correctly install the recovery. When I try starting the process I get a "Leave CS" in the bottom left of the Odin window, and when I start the process fails? Can anyone help me out and assist me? This is super annoying and I would love to figure it out soon. Thank you in advance

This is not the forum for the at&t. You are in the wrong section.

My phone is still in download mode & didn't reboot yet. What can I do to not brick my phone? If you need some more information, just tell me.
Kind regards.
//edit: Problem solved - battery removed & turned it on again. :good:

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?

Rooting S4 GT-I9505
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

Thanks, I'll try that when I get access to a computer. I wasn't expecting an answer so quickly since the last post was on the 21st of November with no reply, so thanks.

I'll try auto root first and if that doesn't work for whatever reason, I'll try the rom mentioned earlier.

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.
Will it work to root with the correct file from CF webpage?
And what will happen with that knox thing? I dont use knox and i disabled what i could so far. I jist want root. Dont wanna mess around with kernels and roms. Cause of bad experience.
I read some people gets random reboots and so.
Rooted s2 long time ago and bricked it cause some bug.
Then rooted a s3. Worked with a charm with cf autoroot.

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!

Did you even use Google?
Maybe try something like "Root I9515 Lollipop"??
The first result tells you how. Cf auto root.

No. You can search it for yourself. I even gave you the instructions what to type. This is not a helpdesk for you to be lazy.

I tried that too but I'm only receiving things about the I9505. And if I've found one result about rooting the I9515, I only see posts telling how to root on an earlier version. So I'd like to know what site you saw about rooting the I9515 running on Android 5.0.1 as you said.
Thank you.

Read his post carefully. When he did that search, what was the first result he said popped up? Search for that.

I've got a result called rooting I9505 running kitkat 4 . Something

And when you read that link what does it tell you to do?

cf autoroot doesn't work properly on Lollipop. You will have the following issues:
1. you will notice that Android will update only 1 app on startup after the wipe
2. This is the severe one: If you wipe your cache anytime after you've rooted your phone, you will softbrick ist. No single app will work, you won't make it to the home screen.
Some guy tried it here: Android Lollipop 5.0.1 Rom with ROOT
I recommend one of the following methods:
Install this CWM 12.1 for i9515, it works quite fine: [ROM][CM12.1][UNOFFICIAL][2015-09-18] CM12.1… | Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505, i9505G, i9506 | XDA Forums
Root is preinstalled.
OR, and this will be a pain in the ass: Wipe your phone, Install Kitkat, root it, and update to Lollipop via FlashFire. I myself did this according to THIS instructions, although I don't speak Spanish i managed to do it. It's actually pretty easy. Google Translate will help you out with critical info.

That must be an I9515-specific problem. If you're having issues, let Chainfire know, as CF-Autoroot works perfectly on all the other devices.

Can't Unroot My Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M.

Someone please help me i decided to root my s4 the Canadian version it was on 4.4.2 but when i decided to unroot it using a video on YouTube that unroot file downgraded my phone to 4.2.2 which is a big problem now because the WiFi is not working neither the microphone or speakers. When it boots up it says kernel is not seandroid enforcing and set warranty bit kernel I tried to find the 4.4.2 stock but couldn't find it anywhere the one i found is taking way too long to download around 12 hours. Also i tried updating it with Samsung Kies but that is not working either someone please help.

Thanks bro but can you help me here.

I just reread your op...a root app cannot downgrade a firmware, that's impossible
What was it that you actually flashed? I'm assuming you flashed a full 4.2.2 rom and that's why you are having issues
Flash 4.4.2 back onto your phone and the problem should be solved
If the download takes 12 hours, you're just gonna have to wait
Oh, friendly advice - never use YouTube for stuff like this. Go to the forum I linked and get what you need from there
One more thing, please don't call me bro

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...

mainly asking to be sure, got a copy of the stock rom to flash if it didnt work out. Done this for my S2 and S3 so im not a complete noob

CF AR is just root, if you want custom recovery, you need to flash that separately
Doesn't matter which ROM you're running

Hi Dolat13,
I recently bought a s5 and have the exact same ID as your phone running on lollipop. Been searching everywhere on how to root it but had no chance. How did you root yours?
