Need help with rooting I9500XXUHOG2 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there guys....I have a real annoying problem....I cannot find the right rooting file..... my device baseband is I9500XXUHOG2
AND IT'S A REAL PAIN IN THE NECK TO FIND IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT THERE!!!!!
please can anyone help...I tried a lot of i9500 files but with no use...and I found myself unable to unroot and not having the root permission. ..so I endup recovering it with Samsung program (I don't remember the program's name but it's not kies)
Please I need help ASAP!
and another problem....after a false rooting I endup recovering the original stock rim via Samsung and it takes 6 FREAKING HOURS TO FINISH!
Is there a faster way ...like backing up stock rom (my rom of course because it's not avalable) because it's an EGYPTIAN.

Hey there,
Have you tried CF-Auto-Root?
To backup your entire rom you will need a custom recovery. I recommend TWRP.
And you should be able to find pretty much any stock roms on sammobile.com.
Good luck.

Thanks for replying fast...but there is a problem
I didn't find the one I need... that might cause a problem ,
Scince I am still a newbie when it comes to these stuff
I don't risk too much because I don't have a backup plan
Like the software on Sammobile.Com is not the one
I have... I heard about the 1 click root like king or lingo root
A friend of mine tried it but it's Chinese so it's not
Something you should trust... but it's the ease way right?
Perhaps too easy to be secured.
Now I am start to wish that I bought a i9505 ... at lease it's more famous and have more support than my phone.

CF-Auto-Root is your best option. There is no real 1-click root method.

[Q] Where has the old rooting method gone ?

Hi guys
Ive just had my phone replaced and as a result I need to re-apply my root file,
My problem is I haven't been on the forum for a while and now I cant seam to find it.
I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 which would be fine, if i could work out what CF-root version I need for android ver 2.3.5
Could someone point me to the old thread with the root file ? ( placed at root of phone, 3 button & apply method)
Or
Could someone link me to the relevant CF Root file? (already have odin & thread above has everything I need to carry it out apart from the file.)
Also apologies in advance if Ive overlooked something or being an idiot, figured this would be straight forward
What's your firmware version?
Sorry I didn't really make it very clear in the beginning, Im using an Orange branded phone and i cannot find the relevant code for my build. I am still pretty new to all this having only previously run versions of Darky rom.
Here is the vital info :
Android Version 2.3.5 ( I read in another thread superoneclick is incompatible with 2.3.5 due to the boot-loader may be locking with gingerbread, anyone confirm this ? )
Bulild Number :Gingerbread.BVJVC
Basically I was looking to root my phone because I want to swap over to Hellybean & also purchase a few of the well known root apps ie CWM, Titaniam backup, These are so I can backup the existing phone in a reversible condition should it be needed later down the line.
I know I don't need to have root access to flash to Hellybean, but I do in order to make those security backups ill need root.
Anyone Help ?
The reason why you didn't find a CF-root kernel is, that the thread you found is for the S2. In the S1 thread, you'll find what you're looking for.

[Q] How to flash I9000 on CM9? from 2.3.6 TMZ BOJW6

Hello,
I own GT - I9000 with STOCK ROM exactly this one (2.3.6 TMZ - Baseband i9000XXJW4; and Build number - gingerbread.BOJW6)
And I wanna root and flash from stock to custom rom (CM9).
Before posting I tried to root my SGS by SuperOneClick 2.3.3, however it stopped in the step 7. And now I would like to use ODIN for this. But I will do this once and I dont want to make hard brick from my phone. I am confused in this terms like PDA,CSC atc. And I dont know where to find new ones.
It´s possible to join files to this thread for ODIN for rooting and flashing?
It´s needed to upload new kernel, baseband (PDA,CSC and so on) on the phone?
Please would you mind to clear this issue up for me?
Thank you very much.

[Q] Europe SM-N9005 MJ7

Hi guys,
I have always flashed my HTC phones without problems or weirdness at all, now i buy my first samsung and all of a sudden i read samsung is putting in all kinds of weird crap in my far to expensive phone because they feel i should use or need knox. They need to make good phones and not care as to what i run on my phone IMHO
I read alot of stuff on here about people bricking their phone so i had a few questions to clarify things. I really really DONOT want to render
my note 3 useless. First about Knox: I don't care about any flags, knox or company's at all, i bought the note 3, it is mine and i would like to do with it what i want not what samsung thinks is right for me hence Android. I donot lose any functionallity after i tripped knox right?
So i understand that this knox thing is just a flag? Other then that i can forget about it and just root and place a rom of choice?
What about that thing called binary flash counter (not even sure wy my phone has it or need it), do i need to do anything with that? Also i read 4.4 peeps can't get back to 4.3 this is wy i killed automatic updates on my device for now.
My current firmware is MJ7 and basicly i don't want or need kitkat (atleast not now). So which exact files do i need to use chainfire's method of rooting my device? After that which exact recovery do install and how? Odin or via the market GOO apk thingy? so i can install rom's like x-note v7 or one in that trent? I am leaning towards TWRP although i always flashed on CWM. Can i for instance just flash 4.3 roms once i got TWRP newest version?
Just want to get this all over with so i can enjoy my phone 100% and not 50. I also need to get rid of all the crap samsung put on my phone (stuff i didn't ask for) and no i don't want their music, movies or appstores. Any help is appreciated.
I think a good guide with up to date links for my firmware would help a lot. Not just snippets everywere across the board.
1) the EXACT files i need to root my phone.
2) the EXACT TWRP version (can i just get newest one for 4.3 roms?) i need and how to put it on my Note 3 Odin or with the GOO apk thingy.
after i do have the thing rooted.
3) the zip rom file were do i put that? internal SD card or on my external one or does it matter?
Thanks in advance!
Have fun...

[Q] need help with firmware 4.4.2

Hi everyone, I need advice on restoring functionality to my i9505. I Odin flashed the NA1 stock leak because I thought it was required for echoe v16 rom which seemed to work but I had no wifi so I flashed the wifi fix from the i9505 stock rom thread for the 4.4.2 stock rom but it broke the sound and I still have no wifi now I gave a buggy stock rom with no wifi no phone no messaging amongst other issues and my Knox flag is 0x1. I have tried Odin flashing all sorts of bootloader modems etc but they either don't fix anything or they have an error while trying to flash saying FAIL! (Auth) in Odin and device says SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 4 , binary 3. If anyone can please help me with a solution I would be very greatfull. I have Googled and looked through a lot of threads but still haven't found an answer. I know I've made a stupid mistake, just need help now.
1. Stop of flash things without read before. Flashing old bootloaders is horrible idea. This will create a paperweight soon.
2. The unique solution u can do is:
- Flash I9505XXUFNB9 (NEE) Nordic Countries-> HERE or HERE by Odin :fingers-crossed:
thanks Joku1981, im downloading now, it was a stupid mistake, I have been flashing and modding phones for about 10 years since flashing monster packs on a Motorola E398, I don't generally make these mistakes, I did a lot of reading before attempting this and it looked like others were having success but I just misunderstood the process. I am in Australia, not sure if that matters, is there any specific process to flashing this? will there be any steps to follow flashing with oden?

Im flashing for about 10 years too. But the Samsung bootloaders are one new big **** for all the people that love modify their phones
I know, its really disappointing, they should understand the potential of letting developers have access to the devices software by now, there are developers out there making way better stuff than the OEMs are. its almost starting to go backwards, you never used to have so much access as you have with the open source Android OS but now companys are clamping down on more and more of the device specific code etc.

Samsung devices now: If you was lucky and you received one Samsung with android 4.2.2, DONT UPDATE IT PLS
I flashed the file successfully, but I still have no sound and no wifi, things like phone and messaging are still buggy, any other sugestions?
yes my original bootloader was pre KNOX, I know, I have already ruined it now, no going back, almost enough to put me off modding all together, think im going to be up for a new phone by the look of it.
also my android version still says 4.4.2 and baseband still I9505XXUFNA1

Try to flash the combined package from here make sure to turn off your phone manually then wait atleast 10 sec and hold and press power Voldown in order to boot into downloadmode and open odin select CP/Phone ( .TAR) and flash

Well because you flashed a 4.4.2 kitkat..... and instead of you writing thanks to joku1981 there's a button right over there > feel free to click
thank you to both of you guys, you have restored my phone, I am so greatful for your help and generosity I have thanked you both and I will make a small contribution for your efforts, please advise Repulsa if there is some way I can make you a small donation for your help. one more thing, I am confused now as to which roms will now be compatible with my phone, will it be safe to flash Echoe v16 now? and what roms will I have to stay away from? thank you both again so much for your help.

What did u do wrong?
i had the same problem a few days back.
i tought i was doomed !!!
listen up, this is what you need to do.
download the stock firmware from sammobile.
get your phone in download mode and hook it up with odin, then install the stock firmware, the good news is: You will not lose your apps, settings or files.
Everything remains the way it is.
in my case (i think) is that i tried to root it with a broken USB cable.
the other tought was that i used CF-Autoroot from chainfires website, it shows that its for android 5.01 while i was on 4.4.
at least, i hope you can use my info, please let me know if it helped for you
When it happened to me, i allmost ****ted myself

Thank you very much Racinghart91 . I have managed to fix the problem with Kies.
The main problem was that Kies was not recognizing my phone model, and I found out that the model as to be inserted in Keis with capital letters. With that Kies have found my correct firmware and I have updated it, and now its all good.
And I have a back up of all, ROM and apps . Now I can try another ROOT, and if it failde I have now all the backups I need.
By the way do you guys know any sucessful ROOT for my Phone, I have the Android version 4.4.4
Model : SM-N910F
SSN : N910FGSMH
Another question, should I wait for the next Android update 5.0, or ROOT my Note 4 befor the update?
I have successfully ROOT my wifes Note 3, and Now its much faster tahn my Note 4, in Apps, games all, damn how is that possible ?
Thanks once again.
