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
Kernel Version : [email protected] #24 Tue May 09:04:05 WEST 2013

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

The root methods you have listed are intended for older versions. The only functioning NC1 root method is towelroot. Please check the all things NC1 thread prior to posting. All info can be found there. The person above has given the link to towelroot. If you go to the galaxy s5 forums, you can get a tutorial on it, but it's pretty straightforward. Enjoy your rooted device.

Remember that the phone has a locked boot loader. So, the stock kernel and recovery cannot be replaced. The only working recovery is safestrap. There is also restrictions on the Roms that can be flashed.

Proven way to get into "recovery mode"!!!
There is a proven way to get into "recovery mode" . I think the root is a matter of time.
1. First you need to switch of your Samsung Galaxy S4.
2. Now in the power down status press and hold "Home"+"Volume Up"+"Power" buttons until you see the "Samsung Galaxy S4" and Model Number on the screen, now release the power button while holding the other buttons.

So I confirm that Cf-auto-root for the i9505 work for the i9515
I aslo flash cwm recovery ( non-touch ) with Flashify ( free app from the playstore ) and everything was working !

[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 )

Same problem with me.I have the same korean varient with LG u+ logo. I am using it in Pakistan. Read almost every thread regarding korean variants but there is'nt any method specific for SM-N900L.

So are you wanting to flash a custom recovery e.g. twrp and then install a custom rom?
Sorry if I misunderstood your question.

Hello Hokage-Sama,
i think the custom recovery installed is TWRP
did some further searching online and i was able to restore the firmware from lollipop down to kitkat, from there i was able to download a md5 file which i ran from Odin and i was able to root the phone however, its based on kitkat and im still searching if there are any for lollipop and the only one i see if the 1 poser who asks for a $25 payment to update a N900L to N9005.
... was hoping if i can use Aryamod custom rom but i think my phone should be on a rooted lollipop under N9005 model only.
hope this made sense
thank you

Root is not required to install a custom rom.
If your phone can run 9005 ROMs, you could try editing the updater script to include your phone.

hi, thanks for the reply
apologies i dont know what you meant to edit hte updater script.
Sorry i have a N900L and based on reading some other threads only
DarkLord Note 5 RC2.1 or Phronesis v5.1 will work on my unit.
before installing the rom i should have a custom recovery right? but to get a custom recovery my bootloader needs to be unlocked first.
i am currently stuck on unlocking my bootloader, i downloaded samsung usb drivers, go to recovery mode, then insert the usb on the phone, i hear a sound when you connect a device on the pc and saying that the device is ready to use but i am unable to see the contents of my phone.
am i doing it correctly?
thank you once again

Are you sure the phone's bootloader is locked? If the bootloader is not locked, do not use any unlocking apps because this will proably brick the phone.
Just install TWRP from Odin. I don't recommend Philz Touch or CWM as I don't they have been updated for a while.

i tried the twrp custom recovery based on the link you sent above thru Odin, it messed up my custom recovery, when i tried to go there it said something like unable to load recovery and goes to download mode and the phone wont startup normally.
is that a sign that my bootloader is locked since i cant install the custom recovery?
used my standard backup recovery to bring back the phone.
i wonder how other SM-N900L users installed their roms.
any other help would be greatly appreciated
thanks a lot

When you flashed twrp, did Odin say the installation was successful?
Download the tar version of twrp for your device from here: twrp.me .
In Odin, do not check anything except f.reset time. Flash twrp and, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, wait 5 seconds, replace battery, now use button combination to boot into recovery.

thanks for the help, was finally able to install twrp custom recovery. the latest version wont work on SM-N900L, i used TWRP-2.8.6.0-N900S version and it worked! im now running on Darklord N5 custom rom for Note3 and loving it!!!
