Hi Guys
I know there are several threads out there explaining how to root a Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 .
I have followed most of them (Cofface and PhilZ Touch) but none of these seem to work for me .
I used odin and flased the CWM and i get PASS . The phone reboots , but i do not have root/su.
Please help.
I read somewhere that it is not possible to root the galaxy S4 with the latest firmware .
Details Of my Phone :
Model Number : GT-I9500 (Bought in INDIA)
Android Version : 4.2.2 STOCK
BaseBand Version : I9500DDUBMF8
Kernel Version :
3.4.5-1133023
[email protected]#1
Build Number : JDQ39.I9500XWUBMG5
Please do help me out.

Hi
I did reboot into CWM but i do not have the option root my phone .
@ jaiDev if i use Autoroot by chainfire , will this install a custom recovery . I want to flash a custom rom later on .
So i need a recovery along with root
U have cwm and I guess u have root just check with root checker

No CF root will not install a custom recovery. It will only root your phone. Just go ahead and use it.
Ok ill try being more clear .
I used CWM and philz touch , to falsh a custom recovery (This also roots your phone) as Per the post .
So i get root + recovery (To back up my rom / flash a new rom).
When i used ODIN to acheive this i get a PASS message . and as per the tutorial i should boot into recovery ( volUp + home + power) and here i should find a option ROOT MY PHONE .( I Do not have this option)
I did use titaniumBackup / root checker to check if root was successful , but it shows that my phone is not rooted .
Basically i want to ROOT and have a custom recovery .
I read the post by chainFire it looks like by using CF-AutoRoot i will only be able to root my phone .
I will have to flash a custom recovery using ODIN Again ( For me to get CWM )
For now i will try ChainFire to root and let you guys know Please let me know if i am still not clear.
I would suggest u post this problem from where u downloaded rooting ur device more than once or just rooting for no reason can harm it.Do not flash anything until someone from that thread tells u.Sometimes its a glitch so wait for the author of that thread or someone else to reply to ur question.
Hey guys , Good News
My phone is finally rooted , used chainFire . Simple and quick
Next step is flashing a CWM . Can some one help me out .
For GT-I9500 after rooting using chainFire , how can i install CWM ?
Thanks A lot
Hi, im trying to root my note 3 (SM-N9005) but im having troubles.
ive got the right Chainfire files and im following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466423
But my phone doesnt seem to finish or start for that matter the rooting process, i just get stuck at the part when the phone should just boot into recovery mode and the screen just has the note 3 logo and up in the left corner it sais:
Recovery Booting...
Recovery is not seandroid enforcing
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
nothing else.
im posting here cause i dont have permission to post into the other thread.
anyone have ideas ? :cyclops:
Are you sure you have the right files ? For the n9005 ? (If that is your phone)
Are you on 4.3 or 4.4.2 ?

NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.
this? yes i tried it but it still does not boot into recovery, doesnt even boot loop just gets stuck in the screen i mentioned earlier
Now if i boot into download mode this is my screen

Write protection: Enable ... is that something that can be a reason for this? :silly:
And what does Odin say ? If it says pass, you should do the "pull out battery and manually boot into recovery" and it should work. I still think you have the wrong file, maybe for 4.4.2 ? Maybe a bad download, try again.

Tell me, can I flash xnote rom with cf root?

Lol, 4.3 or 4.4.2 ?
You could, but you'll need a custom recovery. But more I won't tell you. Spoon feeding is bad. :banghead:
And the fact, that you didn't see the link for the 4.3 file, wich was posted in the same sentence as the 4.4 link, I think you should really do some reading.
Every rom has its installation instructions written in the thread.
Sent from my N9005
Yes sorry about that. I just need guidance I can't find a recovery via Cwm for instance and the x note thread doesn't seem to have an install guide , I just want a kit kat based rom for my note and the last time I flashed a recovery+rom it was a galaxy gio and that was done via sd card and 2 zip files hehe

See, that's why I hate this. How can you say it doesn't have a guide on how to install it, if it clearly does. My first custom rom, coming from 4.3 to 4.4 was xnote. And guess what, i flashed it with the help of the instructions posted on the site, and a bit of Google search too. Why do i even bother, I'm over and out. Maybe someone else will spoon feed you.

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.
