[Q] I9505 rooting !! Serious help needed........!!!!

Hi,
My cousin owns a Galaxy s4 i9505 LTE and he wanted to root it. Since i was using custom rom on my S3 i9300, He asked me to root his phone and i told him that the knox security will mess things up. Anyway i rooted it with CF Autoroot and root was successful but the phone started restaring periodically and he wanted me to restore it back to stock rom (Unroot). He bought it from UAE and the build version was I9505XXUGNH8. Since we didn't find any firmware for UAE from sammy site, he searched the google and found a link (samfirmware) and downloaded the firmware. Then i flashed it via odin. All is good.
Now he want to root it again but the SElinux status says Enforced. Tried towel root,kingoroot and other stuffs.. No hope. The Knox says 0x0 and knox void is 0x1. Android version is 4.4.2. please help me to root this phone.
Thanks in advance...

Use cf auto root. It's the only root method that works.
Afterwards make sure to delete everything knox related. There are plenty of guides out here that tell what to delete.

Thanks for the help.. and if you don't mind, can you please tell me where to find those threads about deleting knoz files and what should i do to get a custom recovery in i9505?????

Hi Mike, search the forums before asking any questions. Search google. Don't expect everyone to do your job for you. Post your threads in the right section. This question has been asked and answered a million times and you'd know this if you took 5 minutes to search a little bit.
Here's your answer https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys5/comments/2ubsbs/guide_rooted_android_50_for_the_international/

out of curiosity, why dont you want to trip knox flag
"This question has been asked a million times and you'd know this if you took 5 minutes of your precious time to search a little bit."

What model do you have? Find out in phone settings in system / phone info. Sm-g900a has locked bootloader. I think verizon's phone also has a locked bootloader.
The link I gave you shows how to upgrade to lollipop, root it and keep knox 0x0.
Isn't that what you're looking for?

my bad, you did. 900f has an unlocked bootloader. when you upgrade to stock lollipop through OTA or Kies (or odin) it already includes bootloader and modem. When you do it the way described in that reddit link you flash the lollipop firmware, modem and bootloader separately. Apparently that method of updating needs it to be done so.
Honestly I have Knox 0x1 so I never cared for those methods, btw if you live in Germany then there's no need to care about Knox. In EU we're allowed to flash whatever we want and the guarantee stays intact even if you have Knox 0x1
ps. yes =p

Honestly, I don't know. That reddit link I gave you, I haven't read the guide myself. I just skimmed though it to be sure it was real but I don't know the details of it. Yes all G900Fs have an unlocked bootloader. :good:

Do you mean ota stock firmware notification? If yes then you will have it if Knox is still 0x0 if Knox however is 0x1 you will no longer be able to update via ota.
If you want to upgrade from KitKat to lollipop you must wipe data from recovery to avoid any issues. It is also not recommended by me to use titanium backup to restore apps because some might not be compatible with lollipop yet or some of the app data made for KitKat may have a conflict with lollipop system, however lots of apps have compatibility with lollipop and there is a chance you will have no issues at all when using titanium backup. Even if I said I don't recommend restoring data after such a major upgrade I do recommend having a backup whether it's with titanium backup or nandroid etc because you're able to restore apps one by one and make sure that what you restore won't be problematic.
Edit - if you update with flashfire app, there is an option to keep root when flashing from rooted KitKat to lollipop and users have reported that that feature does work for them (I personally haven't tried it).

I have a Chinese A8000 and I am desperate to get marshmallow, but before voiding the warranty do you think I can flash one of the firmware for a800f because Chinese variants will ALWAYS only take the firmware HK variants don't take like Singapore (XSP) firmware

Well it turns out it tells me unsupport dev type. A800F firmware may make the machine think you are flashing an unofficial ROM and tells you that you have to void the warranty by unlocking the CROM. Unfortunately this is a A8 model that is still not renewed on the Wi-Fi Alliance. There is a chance that Samsung does NOT do that update on the Wi-Fi Alliance page but still get marshmallow, for example: my Galaxy S5 G900H. It literally says 5.0 lollipop on that website but I installed marshmallow 4 months ago. Chinese models tend to get the updates very late but I hope at least it still receives updates.

Do NOT flash a800i marshmallow on an a8000. The a800i has a different chipset, it would probably brick your phone. You'll have to wait a while I guess, there doesn't seem to be any hk 6.0.1 roms out.

Just one day ago ther is news about A8 duos getting marshmallow. Which phone is that? As far as i know my A8000 IS duos device. Out of all other A8 models which one's marshmallow is possible to be put on A8000?

My friend is having trouble, i will install sm-a800i rom
my phone: sm-a8000
Are you sure this rom is on the phone ??

Update: Both the Hong Kong version and the Chinese version of A8000 received marshmallow update! The update brings much smoother app experience/animation and better battery life (which was already great since day 1) overall! I have just noticed that today and installed it. Trust me, I will NEVER go back to that old inefficient lollipop on this phone!

Yay! Marshmallow for A8000. Does anyone know if they made an autoroot for this yet or any root method? I see the other A8s have it but not this.

I have Samsung SM-A8000 Chinese Model I have Upgraded it to Android 6.0.1 Marshmello but I want to root it and I cant find any method for rooting, I searched all over the internet there are root method for A800f and A800i but there is not any root method I can find for A800 Chinese model Help me, Thanx

How can I root the Samsung A8 android 6.0!

can someone please let us know if a root for the a8000 model is avail...???

Hello, I'm not sure whether this is the right place for my problem but I will give it a try. I have a problem with TWPR recovery on sm-a8000 Chinese version.
Every time I try to flash any zips it fails.
Error 70 failed to mount preload (invalid argument ) I can't do factory reset either. I'm able to root the phone with auto root and the phone works normally except for the custom recovery. I tried to do factory reset in original recovery and it worked but during the boot in the original recovery it said no command.
My aim is to install Google play apps.
Here are some pictures of the recovery result. My internal memory is only 3Mb in the recovery but if I connect the phone to my computer it shows 16Gb.
Any idea what's going on?

I deactivate "reactivation lock" in security tab .and its work . I root it in 10 sec.
But i still have a question can rooting by cf auto root allows me to instal costum roms?!!

Yes and no .
A custom recovery is also required .

The simplest way to install a custom ROM would be to install TWRP via Odin. Installing via Odin does not require root access.

Thanks guys for helping me and I'm sorry for late reply I was in vacation ..everything is good now I rooted it very well and installed twrp ,I start using CyanogenMod 12.1 and it work well .I tried first cm 13 but it has issues like no sound in calls I tried to find solution for that but didn't work . so I installed cm 12.1 and I didn't noticed much differences between them so I'm happy with this cm 12.1 . thanks Again ur the best. Cheers.
