I dont think that "write protection" means bootloader locked, i flashed chainfire's root and worked, I could be wrong but I think it's all good bro :good:

As said, "write protection" is not the bootloader.

The one with the picture that points out "Write protection enabled" and they think that means the bootloader is locked? I'm missing your point.

Me too, I can't flash different firmware original on it.
Can you help me?....unlock bootloader, or write protection: disable"not enable".

Can you help me????????????????????????????????????

So can i flash custom ROM now on? Thanks.

[Q] Want to remove super user and set device status offical

Well friends....this is my 1st post sorry in advance if there is some mistake
I have a samsung galaxy s4 i9500 and I rooted it with kingoapp retaining warranty bit 0. After that I got a update (mk9) so with wanam xposed I used fake status and updated through ota.
After that root was removed but su app was not removed
I just want to remove the superuser app and the most important thing is there any way to make the device status as OFFICIAL if possible. That would help me a lot...thanks in advance

1. Only if the BINARY Status is still Custom, download and extract OFFICIAL STATUS MOD(.tar.md5): GT-I9500 - open in Odin as PDA (password: djembey2013)
*EDIT: Use it by your own responsibility -> Take a look this page for more info

Then please add on the OP that dis method wil trip knox trigger. Sum newbies might try this method on their new fones, without knowing.
So basically this method is for those people who dont care bout the warranty or those who hv completed their warranty.

edit: I misread the OP, please delete this post.

Rooting is not the same as a carrier unlock. Your device will still be locked to ATT.

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.

The full instructions here should help. The only difference is that you need the kernel/firmware for your specific s5 version.

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

[Galaxy A8] Private service not working A800F

I managed to try root method using SpaceX kernel yesterday, and grant a root access, but I think I messed up on something. :crying:
I tried to freeze and delete some stock apps like Google Music and anything else I think I don't need. And of course before I delete them, I made a backup using Titanium. But then I realize my Private mode is not working whenever I tried to activate it. It said "Failed to enable Private Mode, try again", it is not working no matter how many times I tried. And then I realize maybe because of those apps I uninstalled earlier, to be precise I think it is "com.sec.knox(something)". When I try to restore it, Titanium said I don't have a backup of it, but it is on my backup history just without the backup file (see attachment). If I'm not mistaken it can be found in Play Store, called Samsung Security Policy Update, but since it is originally come with Samsung device it is not downloadable.
I'm still trying to figure out what the actual cause for this problem, and if anyone could help, I'd be so grateful if you can share Titanium file for those apps come with "com.sec.knox" (see attachment). Or if I have to restore Stock Firmware and go back, where can I find it and how to restore it?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards

You need to flash stock firmware in order to fix! Bcoz of the custom kernel, maybe you lost the private mode functionality.

Thanks, I got back to STOCK with the Indian latest Firmware and it works fine, the Private Mode is here again. I lost root access, but I still have all of my data (picture, apps, everything) even tho I flash back the Stock ROM. And no more Red Notification on Bootloader from SpaceX kernel. I only need to find a way to reset Knox Warranty Void value if I need (hopefully not) to bring my A8 for warranty claim. :fingers-crossed:

Triangle away may or maybe not work, actually its risky, if anything goes wrong, it will brick the device, it mostly works on Qualcomm Powered Samsung Device.
