Rooting a mdm firmware is nothing new. Use the search function or go to the development section to use either a pre rooted stock rom or chainfires root method.

Hi all,
Is it possible too flash a custom recovery via goo manager in a stock root injected I-9500 ?
If yes then wouldn't we be able to flash roms without odin via the recovery and the flash counter would remain at zero ?
I am tempted to try this. But seems too simple for others not to have tried this before me.
Let me know if I am totally missing something and if some one has tried this before.

Then you allredy have the counter raised, 1 or 10 will not make a difference for warranty. That`s gone allready bro if they check that and unfortunately triangle Away doesn`t work yet for the I9500.
I have used this for root.

Was kinda thinking a bootloader hack possibly like in my old HTC desire days to take this knox pain away . Just ideas I think knox is more of a pain than root now but I like to learn from other devices and see if there hacks can be implemented to cracking bootloader

Hi All
I am new to this Galaxy S4 Forum and want to root and install Custom Recovery for enjoying custom roms.

Thank you n sorry for the noob question.

If your phone warrenty not necessarily for you then u should go on.

remember rooting with cf autoroot will trip ur knox counter to 0x1, meaning your warranty will be gone. use towelroot method instead.

Don't suggest towelroot if your not willing to test it yourself ? That's like asking someone to brick their phone intentionally ?
If you won't do it don't suggest someone to experiment for you

you should really get your facts straight before accusating someone of anything. i've just used towelroot on my i9500 and it worked like a charm, didnt even trip knox.

Well try updating the thread you opened asking if anyone had used it ?
XDA is a community & people share tips & results. If you updated your thread then you could maybe helping others ??
So in your reply "get your facts straight" I didn't have the facts to make a decision on Ok

you shouldnt be suggesting me not to use others phones as experiments if you never ever had the facts (as u stated in ur last post). But whatever, just use towelroot if you don feel like tripping knox. good luck !
Thanks for the reply guys.
My phone is not in warrenty period.Its finished just before 2 days. So I am thinking to root it. And if warranty doesn't matter it is ok to use CF Auto root? Please link me to the CF Auto root and compatible CWM recovery for S4 i9500.
And one more thing I don't know about 'towelroot'.
Thanks...

totally agree....the guy makes a thread asking if anyone's tried it, but said he didn't want to try it himself because he didn't want to risk doing it on his own phone.....then goes telling other people to use it?
U should visit chanfire post and u will be known everything about root.

Yes it's fine to use chainfires autoroot
Here's the link to cf autoroot for i9500-just follow his instructions
Also the link to philz recovery here
You just need to download the .tar file from him & flash it just like you did with autoroot in odin
Thanks bro...

Flash a custom recovery Philz recovery for example then flash custom rom because stock firmware has knox security built in!

I will flash PhilZ recovery. But what I do now. Do I tap on OK to disable KNOX?
And while flashing PhilZ Touch recovery do I face any problem like Bootloader Unlock or something like that?

You shouldn't run into any problems just flash with odin and once flash is complete do a nandroid backup before flashing a new custom rom

I have successfully flashed PhilZ recovery.
Can I flash any Rom available for S4 i9500 to my device through this recovery? Or do I have to change recovery everytime to taste different Roms? Sorry for bad English.

I tried on my gt-i9500 and it shows that my device is not supported!!
Please help me if there is something I missed as I am new to rooting.
What I understood is that towelroot will not void warranty so I am keen on it. Thank you
As title says, im seeking for recommendations on a ROM that has the best s5 style for my i9500, any suggestion is welcome
Also, as i am still under warranty, is there any way to revert back to complete stock in case i want to take it for repair ? thanks

Bumping not allowed.
Plus if you flash anything custom, it will trigger the knox counter whichvoids warranty.
All I can say is, if you dont care about warranty, flash ozcan v5.2 or hassan rom.
If you care about warranty, wait

Well if you can see that method is for i9505. Towelroot wont work with an i9500.
So no towelroot, no root access, no root acces, no mobile odin, no mobile odin, no flashing thus ultimately no i9505 custom rom method.
Plus those files are specifically for i9505.
And you cannot flash a i9505 kernel on i9500

Well if that worked i9500 wouldve been equally popular as compared to its brother i9505.
There is minimal developement because of the restrictions and limitations on our "octa-core"
