I've read the same things with people who had their knox counter set to 0x1. What does your counter say? If it says 0x1 then you should flash a newer stock firmware. Because if you flash a firmware with an older bootloader, you get those problems.

It all depends on how you're flashing bro. If you're flashing via cwm, and then that's not increasing your flash counter. The only time the counter is increased is if you're flashing none official files via Odin.
The 1 in your flash count is probably from the initial flash of cwm via Odin when you first rooted your phone.

Google is your friend
It's a program that is used to reset your flash counter back to zero so Samsung won't be able to tell you flashed non official firmware on your phone at some point. Basically it comes in handy if you want to keep your warranty on your phone.

Exynosabuse and 4.1.2

Updated to 4.1.2 today and tried to root with exynos abuse but it fails to root. However, the exynosabuse app states that it is still exploitable. This to me does not make any sense. Especially when a little bit of research led me to an article stating the exploit had been patched.
So what is it, has the exploit been fixed or not? If it has been fixed, then why would exynosabuse say that it is exploitable?

Alright, good to know. Is there a new rooting method yet then? I'm currently in no hurry to root, but will definitely want to backup with titanium backup before too much time passes. That and I eventually want to change that stupid water drop noise when you click something.

And why would you say that?
DLL7 which has the exynos bug has been patched. Therefor exynos abuse app wont work with DLL7. Any earlier versions like DLL5 and below is still exploitable by the bug hence the app can root it. So if u have not yet upgraded to DLL7 i recommend u to do so.

That doesn't make sense, considering I'm on DLL3 and still unable to root with Exynos. Maybe there is something else going on with my phone causing the failure?

Maybe you tried one of the newer ones with the new bootloader, and now you've kept the new bootloader? Is that related?

I recommend everyone to update to dll7 as soon as possible.

If you flash the BTU firmware it will change the CSC to match (from what I can gather at least) - And you can get OTA updates.

You need to Google Odin 3.09 and there is a website called Sam mobile that has the latest firm updates. Go to the web site and in the search box type 19505 and choose your country. It will take about 4 hours to download. After it downloads use Odin from a PC to flash it to your phone. There is tons of step by step instructions to use Odin on the wrb. Also could search Odin on XDA.
So you first put the phone in download mode then flash the official firmware using odin?

Yes. Put it in download mode. Plug it into your computer start Odin and you will see a com number at the top left. That means your phone is detected.
Thanks i will give it a try once i get on the computer. What if i want to flash a custom rom, can i flash any s4 compatible rom? Do i just need to install cwm recovery on phone and put the rom in sd card and flash?

If your phones boot loader is unlocked you can. But as for me my boot loader is locked. I have to use safe strap recovery. There should be a section in XDA for your phone. It will tell you everything you need to know.
Sorry but what do you mean buy locked boot loader?

The I9505 has NOT a locked bootloader. You can ignore that message.
What about TWRP recovery will that work with a locked boot loader?

Read message above. Your boot loader is not locked so it will work.
Have you downloaded the firmware yet
