[Q] Want to remove super user and set device status offical - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well friends....this is my 1st post sorry in advance if there is some mistake
I have a samsung galaxy s4 i9500 and I rooted it with kingoapp retaining warranty bit 0. After that I got a update (mk9) so with wanam xposed I used fake status and updated through ota.
After that root was removed but su app was not removed
I just want to remove the superuser app and the most important thing is there any way to make the device status as OFFICIAL if possible. That would help me a lot...thanks in advance

1. Only if the BINARY Status is still Custom, download and extract OFFICIAL STATUS MOD(.tar.md5): GT-I9500 - open in Odin as PDA (password: djembey2013)
*EDIT: Use it by your own responsibility -> Take a look this page for more info

Be aware that Triangle Away doesn`t work yet for the I9500 so you can`t go back to full stock if you would like to, the counter will always be raised and the status will say custom/modified
1. Flash CF-Auto Root from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292615. Read the OP well
2. If you want to flash custom roms or kenels you need a custom recovery, i would take this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280457, flash with Odin.
3. Install busybox from Google Play if you want to run stock.
thanks alot ! a quick question .. if i9100 drivers are currently installed on my computer, do i have to remove them first and then install i9500 drivers ?

Then please add on the OP that dis method wil trip knox trigger. Sum newbies might try this method on their new fones, without knowing.
So basically this method is for those people who dont care bout the warranty or those who hv completed their warranty.

Rooting is not the same as a carrier unlock. Your device will still be locked to ATT.

No I don't sorry
Don't know if this is what your lookin for ?
what drivers? PC S4 (USB and other) drivers? Go and install Kies and let it connect once, it will DL the proper drivers and install them, and after that kill Kies and Kies processes on your PC and you're set for Odin...
Edit: Then if you need those specific drivers again and on the same PC (or even a different one), then repeat the steps or simply perform the backup with Driver Magician or similar and you'll have them even after the PC format...
Dang! now I already rooted my phone. So whats next for me? Should i install recovery now?
Go ahead and install a custom recovery and flash away.

Here is cwm rec (bottom 1st post)here just flash the .tar via odin
PhilZ is an advanced version of custom recovery with more customization and options. It is working great and I don't really see the need to go for a regular CWM; either PhilZ or TWRP should be the way to go - depends on what you fancy more :good:

Well, that's pretty common on the S4 GT-I9505. There's a whole lot of ways to get rid of the lag my friend. All you have to do is go through the threads here on XDA - HERE and try to use the Search button for inquiries.
Oh yeah! before i forget, reading is way better than going through videos

Hey, after the root my phone keeps restarting :/ why is that ???
Anyone ????? i rather have my phone unrooted than restarting every time :/
Can i Factory Reset my device ??? that might fix this right ?
Phone freez up first and then restarts...can any one confirm a factory reset we fix this? Is it OK reset after rooting the device?

Before adding 5 replies in 30 mins, you better check the correct section first.
Don't factory reset if you want root. if you don't want root it's fine to factory reset, as it will remove root. Also your device will not random reboot if you factory reset
Reboots are caused by the samsung system server crash error and knox after rooting. If you want root to fix the issue do this:
1. Install Xposed Framework from here http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
2. Open Xposed Framewrok and install what it needs to install on the first button
3. Reboot
4. Install This Xposed Module http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.thomashofmann.xposed.samsungkitkatsystemservercrashfix
5. In xposed go to Modules and activate it.
6. Reboot
7. You will see a notification when reboot was prevented.
I suggest reading a bit more, as you clearly don't know what you're doing. You could end up with a 600 euros brick...
