First of all, i'm an absolute noob, yes i have rooted before with Odin and CF-Auto-Root. But all those technical terms (roms lollipops kitkat e.g, i don't know what these are). . . i've tried but i just can't get into that. And honestly i don't have the time and interest. I only want it to be rooted. Just so that you know what you are dealing with. So please if you do, then please explain it beginner friendly
So i wanted to root my SM-G901F but i can't find the right Auto-Root file.
I only find files for the Buildnumber KTU84P.G901FXXU1ANH6
but my Phone has the Buildnumber KTU84P.G901FXXU1ANI5 i think i read in one thread here that the ANH6 is newer, but my phone says it has the newest update.
will this be a problem or can i root anyway?
btw i've tried Towelroot too, but as i read somewhere here it doesn't support the 1F

The site seems to describe the Mobile Odin Pro (MOP) upgrade procedure from a (rooted, knox 0x0) 4.3 to a (rooted, knox 0x0) 4.4.2.
If you look in the MOP thread that we have here (or in the MOP product thread itself) you can see that the procedure was originally suggested to Chainfire by me and it was first added to MOP 4, and then other people tested it and confirmed that the upgrade works if done correctly:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49452031#post49452031
The problem remains that you need to have a ROOTED device in order to use Mobile Odin Pro.

There were a couple of knox friendly root methods that worked on 4.3 so if they are lucky enough to be on 1 of those FWs then it will be easy for them. If not then well they will be able to upgrade to KK but rooting will trip Knox as AFAIK there is no knox friendly root method on KK.

I've been using XDA for a long while but only realised ive not got a account with you so I can't post in development forums yet but if a mod can help get this across to the cf root thread that'd help.
No 900i root has been done yet and no talk either. What does chainfire need from this model to build the 900i auto root? Let me know what's needed and how to do it n I'll have it up as soon as for him.
there's a few threads about it already.
apparently cf-autoroot for g900f works for g900i

I'd rather wait till chainfire has the chance to look at it himself and confirm the I and f have the same root method. Last thing I wanna do is soft brick my phone when I haven't had the chance to get back up software for it yet.

2. With what info are we prepped with? Model number? Android version? *#1234# codes?
3. You need TWRP 2.7.0.0 recovery and you can backup your EFS there.

So with my csc mj2 if I root it will not trip my knox is that correct?
Also I have been told that I should update to 4.4.2 before I root but am worried it will update my csc also.
I just want to make sure I do it correctly and don't trip knox.

Why u have been told to upgrade first before root? Because if u root then upgrade, u will need to reroot again.
Any stock flashing will auto unroot ur device again. So why do twice?

Hello everyone,
After getting my S5 yesterday one of the first things I did was try to root it via towelroot. Unfortunately it said phone not currently supported which is weird seeing as I found out it worked for others.
Anyway is it because I'm running too updated firmware or anything else of which I am not yet aware. If so I'd love to find out which version I need to flash and where I can find it. I also tried the automated towelroot with EasyRootToolkit(v12) and others but it got stuck on creating VM.
If anyone could help out I'll greatly appreciate it.

If your firmware is ANGx Towelroot doesn`t work. Downgrade to an older version like ANE2 or follow this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-triggering-knox-2nd-method-t2843044.
..
Sorry about that, I was trying to find out more general information before going into specifics.
Anyway, my model's information's below
Model: SM-G900F
Version: 4.4.2
Build: KOT49H.G900FXXU1ANG9
Kernel: 3.4.0 ~ Fri. Jul 25 2014
..
I have the same problem.
I purchased mine a few days ago, and the kernel is from August. The model is 901F. It doesn't look like there's any older version to download.
How can I root it?

Maybe Towelroot will be updated to a newer version for the NGx kernels in the future, for now there is only CF Auto Root for root which will trip the KNOX void warranty flag. Check if the 901F is supported by CF Root first.

Ah I see. As long as I can use the phone with the rom of my choice, along with having root access, I don't need the Knox void warranty flag to be intact. I had a look around yesterday, and CF Auto root didn't support 901F iirc. Would it still be safe to try without bricking it?
Edit: Ah I see you edited your post. Will just have to wait I guess.

I would wait on Chainfire for a file suited for your device, you can (soft) brick a phone with the wrong file. You could also Google around for a compatible custom recovery for your device and then flash the latest superSU.zip file for your device to get root.

You didn't look very hard. There are firmware builds going back to May.
Use Odin to write an older firmware version, then Towel root will prevail.

Well I searched for firmwares for 901F. I found ones for other models such as 900F. Would I be able to use a 900F firmware on a 901F model?

fffft said:
You attached your post to a thread discussing the 900F and Towel root. Instead of hijacking someone else's thread, you should start your own. Particularly because you have a different, derivative model further confusing the subject under discussion.
The 900F has firmwares dating back to May. Your 901F doesn't. An extended search is your best option. As a very recent model and running 4.4.4 as well as a new kernel build you will have to see what exploits are found for your device. You might want to post some information in the CF-Autoroot thread to see if your device can be accommodated. Or you can wait it out and see what Chainfire, Geohot, et al can do with your model.

Rooting my device
Hello,
I am going to purchase an S4, I9505 and I would like to root the phone, just simply because I want to remove a bloatware apps and gain true control of the device.
My question is - if I follow the instructions in the first 3 posts to letter, how much is the chance to brick the phone? The phone is already on 4.4.2. Do I need to do anything else, or just follow the guide?
I know its a silly question, but I am going to spend some money on the device, and don't want to brick it...
Thank you in advance!

0,0000000001%. It's almost impossible to brick your phone.
Root have stopped working.
I9505, 4.2.2, XXUAMDE.
The phone have been rooted for more than a year.
Yesterday I tried "Wondershare\Dr.Fone for Android" as some smemo have been lost. Im not 100% sure this is why the root was lost.
Today I downloaded CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5 and re-rooted using Odin3.
The process seemed to run fine - but SuperSu cant start - get the "no binary fil installed" error.
What can I do?

Hi!
I am willing to root my Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 (brand-Vodafone Italy and running XXUGNJ5 firmware) using CF Auto-Root, in order to flash TWRP and Google Edition ROM on it.
It is not a network-locked smartphone, but just "branded" (it gets some easily uninstallable Vodafone bloatware each time I update it via OTA, however I can use whatever SIM I want in it): is it risky for me to root it using Chainfire Auto-Root?
