Hi all hope ye can help. I attempted, unsuccessfully, to root my I9505 using the CF auto root method as described on this forum. It appeared to be successful on Odin but when the device rebooted i noticed thatb the red android didnt appear and that no apps could get root access. I followed Chainfires advice that states that manually rebooting the device into recovery would initiate the process. When i attempt to reboot into recovery (using the three button method) the phone device vibrates to acknowledge turning on however the screen stays black. It remains like this for quite some time until i let go of the buttons where it will vibrate again before switching off. Has anybody any ideas in how to rectify this?? (Rebooting into recovery from ROM manager causes the app to freeze)
EDIT: While attemptimg manual reboot into recovery, the splash screen appears with tiny blue writing and the screen then goes blan

Thanks for your quick reply. I have downloaded both apps and attempted what you have suggested. The superuser app can update but is unable to get root access while TB looks for root rights. In the process of restoring the firmware through kies and will try afresh
I've managed to boot into recovery only using the three-button combo.

I have done the one step root and it doesnt seem to work. I go to superuser permissions and it just force closes. This phone was rooted before perfectly fine with the same method. Even SetCPU doesnt open. Its always that dumb superuser force close.
EDIT: I dont have any one click root errors or any other errors while in samsung recovery. It said it applied the update when I go to reinstall packages. No errors whatesoever.
EDIT: I tried the 1.5.5 and it just gets stuck in the loop and says to disable usb debugged. I unplugged phone and disabled usb debugging but when I do that it gets stuck on waiting for device.
Have you used Z4root its not on market anymore but here is a link for it

You have to install clockworkmod, then click reboot to recovery, click install from packages, then should be good (if it doesn't go to clockworkmod after that, reboot, and repeat). I have rooted several of these bad boys for co-workers the last couple weeks, and found clockworkmod didn't always take first time through as it does on other devices I have modded.
I flashed the galaxy s cm6.1.2 beta 1 and it gets stuck on boot screen and says Galaxy S GTI9000. I cant get to recovery by holding the volume key up. I dont know what to do now.
I have a client's Atnt galaxy s4 that will not boot up normally and will not boot into recovery also.
when i try to boot into recovery i get the blue lettering in the top left and it just sits there i have let it sit for sometime like that with no change.
this is not my first go around with flashing android devices so please even give me Dev only options if that is what you think will fix it. i feel bad because he just bought this phone 2 weeks ago and cant use it. not sure what the other guy that tried to root it did and neither does he so i am shooting in the dark so any help would be great.
I have tried flashing the stock Odin package with no luck.
Also tried Kies Firmware upgrade with no luck
Most of the custom recovery for this phone from what i read are not flashed threw odin anymore, but if i am wrong please link me and i will give it a shot.
Dose anyone have any ideas someone told me to use the .PIT file and re-partition the device and reflash the stock odin package. but i have had no luck locating the .pit file for the I337 galaxy S4 could anyone grab it from there phone and upload it for me or any ideas on how i could possibly fix this issue.
Thanks in advance
Since you already tried ODIN, why don't you try KIES.
I tried that allrdy just forgot to add it to the list updated first post
Copied this from another thread, guy was having same issue.
EDIT: Problem solved by scott14719. Here it is: As soon as you feel the phone vibrate, immediately let go of the power button but continue to hold the other buttons until the recovery boots, then let go of them.
Phone goes into download mode ok?

ok i will have him give it a try
and yes it goes into downloading mode with no issues at all.
if the os isnt hosed just download goomanager and install the recovery then download a touchwiz rom that has an extended reboot menu, you can then just boot into recovery from the OS.

If you can get into download mode and odin it should wipe everything, it should work. Maybr its hardware?

In addition to letting go of the power button after the vibrate, here are a couple of other things that appear to have worked for other forum members. I didn't discover any of these fixes, I just did a lot of reading and saw where others have had similar problems and found ways to solve them. That is what makes the XDA community great:
Uppercuticus said:
I've had this happen to me several times while playing around with flashing. Basically (without fail in my experience), hold power+volume up+home as you'd normally do until you see the booting recovery message and let go. It will do one of two things - boot into recovery- or - restart and vibrate-. If it restarts and vibrates, immediately hold power+volume up+home until the booting recovery message pops up again and let go. It should then boot into recovery and you shouldn't have trouble in subsequent attempts.
It took me a while to figure this out and I actually thought I had permanently bricked my phone as the phone wouldn't boot and I couldn't get into recovery. Hope this helps.

Just flash a different custom recovery tar in odin. If ur using CWM, then flash TWRP, or vice versa.

After using ODIN, make sure to do a software (factory reset) to get rid of any data and settings that stayed behind. The firmware packages that we have for Odin, do not wipe everything on their own.

here are all the details;
Rooted ATT Galaxy S4 MK2 with Busybox. all went well until I tried to flash and boot into recovery. Installed ClockworkMod Recovery, tried to reboot into recovery...permission error. Installed Team Win Recovery, same problem.
investigated... Superuser.apk for some reason is NOT present in app directory. hmm. checked for root, have root.
installed ClockworkMod Superuser from play store... asks to update superuser... fails with signature error.
There seems to be no way to flash this phone. I have the original backup I made with ClockworkMod but restore fails with signature error.
The phone works fine, has root but I am concerned I will not be able to update to 4.4 when it's available. I am also NOT able to flash any alternative ROM. frustrating.
I see there are relatives to this issue all over xda but as far as I can tell after a weekend of trying is there's NO WAY to boot into recovery with write permissions being allowed.
Hi,
Rooted my phone in hopes of installing neatrom with mobile odin pro, but for some other reason mobile odin pro just crashes when trying to start it.
Now I'm considering to reset to factory settings, and before doing that install the ANG2 update just to check it out.
Will i get problems besides that my phone ain't rooted anymore when installing the OTA? or in the other case, will i screw something up with a factory reset?

Towelroot will not work (yet) on NG2 mate. If you are allready rooted install superSU and superSU Pro from Play and enable Root survival to keep root after the OTA. After you installed superSU + Pro reboot and enable root survival and accept the OTA.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Okay so thats safe.
What about doing a hardreset on the phone, that will unroot it and set it completly back to stock right ? I just want to see if i can get Mobile Odin to run on the device then, since i have no idea of why it refuses to start as of now.
Hardreset , then run towelroot again after the hardreset.. Will that work or will i brick it?

The only thing that happends when i try to launch M. Odin is a blue popup stating that Odin has crashed, so it dosn't come that faar. However just managed to find a thread stating that MOP has trouble with ART, so going back to dalvik on the phone now to see if that might be the problem *crossing fingers*

Have you installed BusyBox from Play? MOP needs that to work.
I'm at a loss at the moment guys, I've rooted my s5 with cf-autoroot, everything seemed successful, but apps that require root tell me I need root permissions and need to root my phone...
I've got supersu and can grant permissions when needed, but this does nothing. I've checked root with rootchecker and it says I'm rooted.. Am I missing something really obvious? I've looked around and can't find anything.
If anybody could please help me I'd highly appreciate it!
(Sorry if this was a messy post, I don't tend to post often)
You might try running chainfire again and see if that helps.

You could try powering down the phone, pull the battery and wait 20 seconds. then boot into downloadmode and reflash CF Auto Root and reboot.
I would go with gee's recommendation.

What did you use to root? Also are you using a custom recovery? Try flashing latest super user binaries with custom recovery. It should solve the problem.
I have rooted my phone with some Chinese application.

I have rooted it with some Chinese application, it had some blue color jellybean sort of icon. Sorry i don't remember the name of that app.
But i remember the procedure what i used. It is as below.
I connected my phone to PC and run that application in my PC.
So after a while that application detected my phone, and it started root process.
First the same application got installed in my phone and then it rooted. It hardly took 2-3 minutes to root.
Then I installed superuser latest version manually, and updated the binary in normal mode. That's it.
But now i am facing some problems like when i open some particular app, my phone get stuck and i have to restart it. And it is working quite a bit slower as compare to earlier (before root).

Although there is nothing that you seem to have done wrong, but a lot of chinese rooting apps install some bloatware in your phone, the performance of the phone should not be affected. Also do check once again if you have the root access using root checker app from the playstore. You also may have 2 different superuser apps installed, which might be causing the problem.

The application what i used was "iRoot", and i am using superuser with the updated binaries. But still it causes the problem of getting stuck. There are few apps like Solid Explorer, Gallery, and more get stuck while opening them and i have to restart the phone.

You should consider using custom ROMs.
