You will have to flash SUPERSU via custom recovery or try other method for root your device.

What's custom recovery and can you tell me easiest and quickeat way to root, all I want to do is flash stock to unroot my phone
Mark, just download the latest software for your device (www.sammobile.com) and flash it through Odin. Once you have done that the device will be unrooted and completely stock.

Look at the pic I attached further up, my supersu is dodgy, so can I flash anything whilst it's like that?
You are going to flash a ROM via Odin, on your PC, what does dodgy SuperSU have anything do with that mate?
Mike, like devilsdouble said, you can flash via PC Odin as long as you are able to put the device into download mode, no matter what dodgy thingies are on it, since it will do a complete wipe. It will be stock, fresh and clean afterwards.
good luck

Good luck sounds like this isn't going to go too well... so basically plug phone into kies and back up, factory reset phone, download mode, go in odin, place stock in AP bit and go

Too bloody right, I'm stressed out my nut, I rooted it like a few weeks after I got my phone in like September, not knowing much (very stupid) and not knowing it voids warranty :/ my mam doesn't know, how can I tell her iv buggered my 600 pound phne, but it's not broke, I just keep thinking iv already broke it for some reason
You don't have to take the battery out. Just shut down the device completely, wait a few seconds, put it in download mode (volume down/menu/power buttons together), make sure Kies is not running (kill Kies back ground processes in task manager if neccessary) and fire up PC Odin, plug in your device, once connected direct to your stock rom in 'AP' and let it do it's thing.
After the 'OK' in Odin, your device will restart automatically, unplug it and run the set up.
NB....all your settings and personal stuff on internal memory will be wiped, so do back up before you start.
You did not break your phone, you just triggered an security flag that can tell you flashed custom software (root). On base of that samsung could deny warranty, but read around, there are lotsa cases samsung granted warranty with knox flag 0x1.
Cool, thanks, but sometimes you have to take the battery out on first boot up if in boot loop? And also I heard that you can sometimes lose you data from the data plan because the sim can't tell the rom where to get the data, or is that if it's pure stock rom rather than in my case an EE stock rom note 3

I get stock firmware from sammobile.com. You'll have to register but it's free.
http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyS4/SGH-I337/I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_ATT.zip
scroll to the bottom and enter the requested code to initiate the download.
When returning to stock. I used your all in one to root, do I need to unlock the bootloader or anything.
more info*
I have tmobiles 8.5 gb data plan. yesterday I downladed a large file. This morning my data connection was really slow. So trying to work around their throttling, I went into the service menu and changed he network control>band preferences to CDMA/LTE only. Worked for a while and then things returned to normal. (Slow crappy service.) So i went a little deeper changed something else in cdma selection ended up without any service at all. Then after a lenghty talk with att and tmobile I decided to do the process to turn on aws again. After doing that the service returned, but the data is still the way it was.
I actually had it where it was saying it wasnt activated asking me activate my phone.......yeah stupid I know I shouldnt mess with things especially when I have no clue what they are. Lesson learned just trying to fix my mess
PS I am not over my data limits

When you return to stock, you're staying all over again. You'll have to reroot, etc. Be sure to be wary of your device trying to grab the MF3 update. Maybe take your sim out and leave wifi off while you root, backup and flash to your desired rom

Don't worry about the boot loader. It's locked and you can't unlock it. After returning to stock with odin re-root it using motochopper. Do ask that with the sim out and WiFi off so you don't get the mf3 update.

Delete the Samsung and kies drivers.
Run ccleaner
Install the Samsung drivers
Then run Odin
finaly got odin to work flashed and rebooted. i thought flashing a rom would delete a lot of my stuff? It is all still there and now my computer doesnt connect to my phone it charges it but doesnt say it is connected.
I have tried different cables and different ports with no luck.

Hi,
I was in doubt between doing or not doing the ROOT in my Galaxy S4 4G (GT-I9505)...
But I tried to start doing it.
I asked a friend who had already made it on his device!
At first he tried to install the recovery, so I would not lose my S4.
He used the Odin as he did for himself, but it faild. So I gave up doing te ROOT and we stopped.
Ok then, but today I looked for an upgrade original from Samsung on my device. But it said:
"Your device was modified. Upgrades are not available."
What can I do now?? I need to reset it to the original form or finish the ROOT successfully.
And I can't even put my device on recovery mode! It fails.
Please, help me!
I don't know what to do and this is my first post.
Ps.: out of this problem, my device is functioning normally.
Thank you!

Do you need root, is there something you can`t do without root atm or do you want to remove useless/unneeded stuff?
Better read up about rooting, flashing, recovery`s, roms and Odin so you`ll know what the (dis)advantages, risks and benefits are before you get into trouble
Do the following for now:
1. Download CF Auto Root from here http://download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip and extract it once with 7-zip.
2. Download Odin 3.04 http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168422&d=1341114468.
3.Enable usb debugging and disable Kies (also in windows task manager)
4. Place the extracted CF Root md5 file in Odin in the PDA section.
5. Put he phone in downloadmode (turn off the phone and then press volume down first and then the power button)
6. Connect to pc and and press start if you see ID;COM light up and you see a com number.
Reboot and you have root. Also install Busybox from Google Play.

Do as said in the post above first. Then install Triangle Away and use that to reset the counter, when its done go straight to downloadmode and reflash the rom you have now with Odin 3.04, after it boots do a data factory reset and you`re fully stock with everything Official.

Hey guys,
Just had the fantastic AMOLED breaking symptom of the Galaxy S4. I need to restore to factory TouchWiz so I can go in and get a replacement phone (I had rooted and flashed stock Android and am afraid they'll figure this out and refuse to give me a new phone despite the physical damage) so I desperately need screenshots/photos of the CWM Touch 6.0.3.2 options to restore a backup (the only one I have on the phone).
If there's any other way to do this please let me know.
Beyond that, since the screen appears to be getting progressively worse to the point where I just can't install anything, is there any way I can remove any evidence of root/flashing from the file system just in case?
Please help!
Thank you!

Everytime the phone goes into deep sleep, it hangs. Battery must be pulled, or power button must be held until reboot.
If I leave it on the charger, it won't deep sleep, and thus will wake up. If I leave a music player playing in the background, even with volume at 0, the screen can be turned off and on as normal. With no background activity, as soon as the screen is turned off and the ~3 seconds have passed for it to enter deep sleep, it "freezes" and won't turn back on till I do what I stated above.
I feel like it's a hardware issue, but I wonder if I can fix it with software?
Or any other ideas, please!
Since I'm in the USA, Samsung Int'l won't do a warranty for me.

I flashed official roms through odin. I did root it again....I think? See when I rooted my Note 1, N7000, I used zerg-rush or whatever, which exploited code through adb and whatnot. But for this, all I did was flash Adam kernel, and I had root, and stweaks. But never did I have a triangle, which made me wonder. And I didn't ever need to do triangle away. I thought flashing back to official would remove root. But maybe I missed something. Like I said, it seemed too easy.
Do tell!

triangle away doesn't support the i9500 yet, only the i9505.
But I wonder why I've never gotten a triangle.

I never got the triangle to.. But the flash counter was still 6 and when u go to settings=> about phone you will see that it's says unofficial firmware, and if u try to update the phone it probably says you have modified yours.

Mine still says official. I've had download mode show "custom" when I had a different kernel for root. But after just a simple Odin flash, everything says official. No counter that I've seen.
I tried putting in a rom earlier for my note 3 and it didn't take.
I ended up on that, vibration boot loop.
Odin still worked fine so I tried putting in an original stock rom with root, so I can add recovery.
I could not actually find a fully suitable rom choice, and the samsung website didn't play well with me either. firstly it would not let me register for some reason...anyway.
I am UK on O2 running 9005 SO I put in N9005XXUDMJ7-PRE-ROOTED-KNOX-FREE-ODEX-BL-FREE
I don't know if that was the right choice, I set it up on PDA, and unclicked partition
It's been stuck possibly hanging on ext4 sys for over an hour.
The references I have seen suggest it takes a long time but how long is too long?
I don't want to pull the plug to brick the device completely.
I have a cwm recovery so all I need is to put the recovery back in and I should be good to go...
If this is hanging, what other options do I have?
How long is too long?
Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated, and a drinks on me...
I am kinda freaking out, have seen similar threads, but because the firmwares are so different they didn't really help..or perhaps I misread things...but nothing really covered not being able to load the recovery software itself
consider me lizard brain in freak out mode right now..
please reply promptly with something.
Can you still boot to cwm or download mode only?

Odin mode only. But it's still hanging.And I am worried that if I pull it now it's going to brick it and not even give me access to ODIN.

Over one hour is too long to flash something even a full stock rom. Something is wrong there.
So you're saying you have no access to an original stock rom of your phone? If there is a problem like this flashing, I would flash the stock rom first then just root and install cwm. The first thing you want to do is have a working phone then just do the other stuff after like rooting, etc..
If what you posted is your stock rom, then download here and flash through odin.
There's also a newer one which is MK2 which you can download here.
Either one is stock.
Downloading the mk 2 now to test
That sorted me out thank you very much.

No problem. Don't have paypal though and it's not necessary.
Enjoy your phone.

Mate the reason you got into trouble was you weren't flashing a stock rom...
N9005XXUDMJ7-PRE-ROOTED-KNOX-FREE-ODEX-BL-FREE means it has been altered and is considered custom...
A stock rom has not been altered.

There are a lot of good people here that will help you. You don't need to give anything back. And be sure to ALWAYS have a NANDROID backup so that you can restore your phone if anything bad happens.
