TROUBLES after rooting the Galaxy S4 (I-9500)

Hey folks,
I just got my Samsung Galaxy S4 (Indian version) rooted the other day. After the rooting process, the phone has become quite laggy. When I opened the camera it gave me the "camera failed" message. The volume buttons ain't working properly as well. The phone is really acting weird. Can anyone help me out??
Here are the details of the current scenario of my device:
Model Number : GT-I9500
Android Version : 4.2.2
Baseband Version : I9500DDUBMF8

Thanks for the reply, Hiten. I got the rooting done from someone else so I guess I should show him your message and ask him to do the needful. Will recover first and then redo the rooting process using the CF method as you suggested... BTW, can you recommend me some must have/fun tweaks after the device is rooted ? Can we add more gestures or something unique ? Thanks once again.. Cheers!

U can have 3 minit framework thats nice ,
Use nova launcher / apex launcher have many gesture based commands
Flash some animation which works with TW launcher makes the phone do little danching while opening etc

Note flashing the above needs a Recovery u can use philz recovery to flash it

[Q] Some questions : Device status, update, root ..

Hello,
I am new member so excuse me if I put the topic in the wrong place or I repeat the same questions.
Anyway, I have note 3 neo (N750) and I rooted it with CF-AUTO but I didn't know that I need to look at the version of the phone ( mine is 4.3 ) ! But it worked so I think it was the right version.
I forced problems :
SuperSU won't be updated and it say that KNOX detected and when I want to disable it " disabling failed " !!
I bored. So, I uprooted the device and wiped the cache of partition + wiped data/factory rest.
After doing that, SuperSU updated and KNOX disabled !!!!
I decided to Rooted again but this time by your advice expert
But before that I want to update the device because I see a lot of people on the Internet have note 3 neo with 4.4.2 ! But mine is 4.3 ! So how to update it ? The device status is custom so I can't updated ! How to get it back to normal ? Flash the stock ? How to find the stock one for my device ? I am from Bahrain ( Middle East )

hi ,
same procedure as root ,you flash it with Odin ( place phone in download mode ,connect to pc ( Odin ) etc.
.Just make sure it is correct version for your phone.
I suggest you research/Google a bit and check YouTube for a video.
I have N910F ,rooted ,CWM ,lollipop v5.0.1 ,stock Rom .
I have rooted ,flashed CWM , many times over the past months ( since October 2014 when Note 4 was released)
Worked 100%but you must know what you are doing ..!
good luck

Unable to Root or Flash Customs Roms on my S5

Hi XDA i was hoping someone could help me on the right direction helping me root my Galaxy S5 and flash a custom rom , i have tried several tutorials online without success , after CF-Auto Root phone screen will go dark , flashing custom recovery on Odin also screen will go dark being my only option to put my S5 into Dowload Mode and Flash Stock Rom again ... Seems like there is a new type of security that won't allow me to root,flash custom recovery and custom rom...
I have purchased my Unlocked Galaxy S5 2 months ago with Three network in UK and had already done 2 OTA Updates ...

Reactivation lock should be untick in security option when you trying to root also USB debug on & untick Verify apps with USB in the developer option.

I did all that

Could you try flashing an old firmware for your phone, and then using the methods to root and flash your phone to a new ROM. I'm not sure if this method will work, just wait for someone who can verify this method.
The best thing you can do right now is to wait, because you really do not want to brick it.

If you haven't already, try flashing specifically TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery with ODIN
Seems to work for people having problems with getting rooted / recovery with the G900F

None of that works , Twrp won't work will give black screen after reboot and a old firmware will give also a black screen ...

Is there any new security on the bootloader or kernel that is stopping us to flash any custom recovery or custom rom am root the S5 ???

hi. if you are getting a massage about factory mode when you flash a stock rom then you might have a problem with your EFS folder. if so you can try this:
1- root your phone
2- install busybox and terminal emulator
3- open emulator and run
$ su
# mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
# mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
# reboot
or you can check out this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58170785&postcount=4285
good luck

Do you have a custom bootloader?

My phone is stock rom never ever was able to install a custom rom/recovery or root , so no i do not have a custom bootloader ... Once again this phone is new and have never flashed custom rom/recovery or had it rooted because it will give me black screen when flashing custom recovery or trying to do the CF-Auto root method for S5

Gregzetko , do you even read the post ? Do you even know that i mention that my phone cannot be rooted , flashed with custom rom or custom recovery ? People should pay more attention to posts before they try to help with absurd answers ...

OK w/e

Are you attempting to flash root and custom recovery in download mode from cold boot?
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Free mobile app

I have had several Android phones in the past , HTC Sensation 4G , Galaxy Nexus , Samsung Galaxy Note , Samsung S2 and S3 i9305 LTE and i have flashed custom recovers and custom roms on all of them , is not that i don't know the procedure of how it's done and the risk to brick a phone as i have already bricked one HTC Sensation 4G .
All i want is get rid of stock rom on my Samsung S5 G900F , this phone i bought it new on my service provider and flashed custom recovery and gives me a black screen when phone restarts , if i do CF-Auto does the same thing black screen when restarts , if i try downgrade to kitkat also gives me a black screen leaving me only with the option to put my phone back into download mode while in black screen and flash stock rom with odin reason why i asked if there is a new security implemented on the kernel or bootloader to stopping S5's from 2015 to be flashed with custom recovery/rom ... This have never happened to me on several years of flashing ...

Cf auto Root

Thanks for reply ,, i tried cf auto root and when the download by oden begin then it intrupted ,i saw a thread aboud deactivating samsung account (auto relock or something like that) ..i will remove it and then trying again to root by cf auto root .

I deactivate "reactivation lock" in security tab .and its work . I root it in 10 sec.
But i still have a question can rooting by cf auto root allows me to instal costum roms?!!

Yes and no .
A custom recovery is also required .

The simplest way to install a custom ROM would be to install TWRP via Odin. Installing via Odin does not require root access.

Thanks guys for helping me and I'm sorry for late reply I was in vacation ..everything is good now I rooted it very well and installed twrp ,I start using CyanogenMod 12.1 and it work well .I tried first cm 13 but it has issues like no sound in calls I tried to find solution for that but didn't work . so I installed cm 12.1 and I didn't noticed much differences between them so I'm happy with this cm 12.1 . thanks Again ur the best. Cheers.
