If you have a custom recovery installed already you can just flash this - http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu or download SuperSU from Google Playstore - http://pkg.to/eu.chainfire.supersu

Flash this through Odin - http://download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip
I'd read first all the steps so you'll be familiar with rooting and stuff. That's the safest advice i can give.

Hey, i just tried to remove Samsung Link app, but it gives me the same error as before, Can remove system apps? i thought after rooting i could remove system apps. was i wrong?

Well, that's pretty common on the S4 GT-I9505. There's a whole lot of ways to get rid of the lag my friend. All you have to do is go through the threads here on XDA - HERE and try to use the Search button for inquiries.
Oh yeah! before i forget, reading is way better than going through videos

Hmm :/ i agree, However i searched the forum, not a lot of threads about lag, i turned off the animations and s voice, still have that lag, my device is laggy when im browsing internet and Facebook

Hey, after the root my phone keeps restarting :/ why is that ???

Anyone ????? i rather have my phone unrooted than restarting every time :/

Can i Factory Reset my device ??? that might fix this right ?

Phone freez up first and then restarts...can any one confirm a factory reset we fix this? Is it OK reset after rooting the device?

Before adding 5 replies in 30 mins, you better check the correct section first.
Don't factory reset if you want root. if you don't want root it's fine to factory reset, as it will remove root. Also your device will not random reboot if you factory reset
Reboots are caused by the samsung system server crash error and knox after rooting. If you want root to fix the issue do this:
1. Install Xposed Framework from here http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
2. Open Xposed Framewrok and install what it needs to install on the first button
3. Reboot
4. Install This Xposed Module http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.thomashofmann.xposed.samsungkitkatsystemservercrashfix
5. In xposed go to Modules and activate it.
6. Reboot
7. You will see a notification when reboot was prevented.
I suggest reading a bit more, as you clearly don't know what you're doing. You could end up with a 600 euros brick...

big Wi-fi problem

Hello everyone.
I have a big wifi problem with my I9505.
I can't turn the wifi on, when I was on AICP the wifi setting screen was stuck with a message "Activating WiFi'
I don't think thait it is a hardware problem because time to time, after a reboot it randomly work until the next reboot.
I've tried to update to the next stock rom with a full wipe and it didn't solved the problem.
Thanks you all for your help and excuse me for my poor english.

1. Well, you have wrong firmware installed. You will have to flash via ODIN this ONE.
2. Try the WIFI now when finish the boot process.
3. Dial *#1234# when finish the flashing process and tell me what appears if you still without WIFI.

Lollipop doesn't work like android KitKat. Everyday people tell me exactly this and "Recent" no means that will work in your device. Downgrade isn't a problem atm coz you are on Lollipop and you want flash Lollipop too.

Thanks you for you help.
I have flashed the firmware you gave me.
Unfortunatly it didn't solved the problem but the wifi worked at the first boot and then after a reboot I can't switch it back on.
I really don't understant what's the problem with my phone.
[EDIT] I have attached screenshots from phone info.
Thanks a gain for your help.

It's hardware. You can try to clean the wifi/bluetooth chip in your device. Or you have to find someone who can replace the chip for you.

To clean?
If it's a hardware problem, how it is possible that sometimes it works?

Because if you are lucky, the antenna is dirty or the contact points are dirty.

How can I reset the flash counter? Triangle Away can't reset the counter on my phone. (5.0.1)
Do I need to downgrade to kitkat?

i have same issue here, i try custom roms, downgrade an other methods but issue persist, sometimes when reboot wifi turn on and connect, maybe not a hardware problem.

No flash counter on Android 4.4.2 and later, so no use for Triangle Away. The big concern now would be tripping the Knox security flag. As long as you haven't attempted to modify the firmware you'll be ok.

Then perform a full wipe and reinstall rom again.

Try wiping only the cache in recovery to see if this helps.

Is the phone running the latest bootloader and modem? Are you installing anything else other than the ROM that could be causing this issue like a kernel or app?

Yes, the latest bootloader and modem. I've changed ROM but the 'date bug' remains the same.. Solutions?

Is the phone set up to pick up the date and time from the phone carrier?
