So, my friend got an S5 mini for chrismas and he wanted to root it so he tried everything. One morning he told me that he managed to root it with z4root but he restarted his phone and he lost the root. I didn't really believe him but I told him to continue trying and when it will be succesful send me a message. After some research a got to know that there's just one way to root to flash an older firmware with Odin, but as I read it can set Knox to 0x1 so I told him to stop trying. But this evening he sent me this picture:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And told me that he was just playing with z4root and it worked again.
After some hours of unsuccesful tries, we found the working method, to make something with it. Install SuperSU from Play Store (or if it's installed, then just run it) and let it install su with the "Normal" method and also let it disable Knox. And it worked! Proof:
But unfortunately it sets the Phone Status to Custom:
("Eszköz állapota" = "Phone status" and "Egyedi" = "Custom")
I am not really familiar with Samsung phones, so could you please tell me if there's a way to set it back to Official? (Maybe with Wanam Xposed)
You need an original firmware
You have to use Odin and the original firmware that you can find on the web
you flash the original firmware and everything will be as your friend bought the phone except for the root that you will lose.

anyone Please tell the reason...
the download mode saying you're not rooted does not matter. dont worry about that. as long as you have root when in the operating system that's all that matters. download mode saying unrooted is actually a good thing because it means you still have your warranty with lg intact.

Hello, lets make this a lesion for all of us xD
Recently tried to root my device not finding any good information anywhere, maybe im verry bad at searching but i managed to find some stuff that i figured is needed for this to work, since im comming from a pretty easy device to root i figured of all the reading it's verry hard to root your device without pulling the KNOX-waranty, which i did in this case my knox waranty is void as 0x1 which should be 0x0 as it was from the begining, so while this is done already i don't really care much about the waranty xD i just want my device to be rooted and have CWM recovery installed.
Basicly what i did was to follow this guide: http://true-android.blogspot.se/2013/11/root-n9005xxudmj7-galaxy-note-3-sm.html
This made my warranty void: 0x1 and set in this mode:

And that's about it, i can't boot my device, its only showing me that. I would like to have a step to step guide of how i actually root my device and installing CWM 6.0.4.7 so i can install any CM11 rom. A really noob frendly guide is what im looking for. Thanks
Clear cache and factory reset from recovery mode.
Search for cf autoroot and instructions always included.
It's because Chainfire has updated the file to 4.4 while your phone is on 4.3. Just follow this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466423
And then for cwm here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454079. Don't use 6.0.4.7 but 6.0.4.5 instead
This is the one to use for rooting 4.3.
And as Rosli59564 posted, flash CWM 6.0.4.5.
Hi all,
Since a long, long, long time i was away from xda forums :crying:

So, let's cut the crap and go on with it! :silly:
Download VIBEUI_V2.0_1433_4_ST_K910_WC97 from here
Install it through Lenovo recovery the downloaded file [VIBEUI_V2.0_1433_4_ST_K910_WC97]:victory:
Reboot (this may take a while)
Download RootGenius from here
Run Root Genius from PC and click "ROOT"
and...that's it
Optional:
Install Gaaps from here
Install Xposed from here
Install VibeXpert from here
Install any root explorer and delete crappy apps
It's really hard isn´t it?!

hey XDA Pro´s
i thought quite a while on how to explain what, how and where i need help.
but first off i have to say that i am not a native english speaker, so please stay nice
its not my first samsung that i tried to root but this time i f´d up real bad!
my phones storage was full, even tho i deinstalled almost every app but it kept on beeing filled with "ghost" files that i couldnt figure out what it was. so i came to the conclusion to root to get rid of everything that might be a rogue file or else.
well the root worked quite well, for a about 2 hours, then i made a mistake and set the "OEM" Slider back in the developer options, after 30mins it rebooted and my phone had a FRP Lock. i know... i fd up!
then i thought, well i could easily just downgrade, reflash another rom to get rid of the FRP Lock.
as you can see, it went even more bad.
i cant flash anything anymore and need help.
since it happened a month ago i really try to recall what i have done so far, so please ask me whatever is needed to get my phone back to normal.
i tried several odin versions, the latest telekom rom, a standard samsund s7 edge rom but nothing seems to work.
i hope someone knows what to do

Now my phone don't work, all i can see it's a black screen and nothing work's, no download menu, can't connect to Odin.....can i save the phone or just stay 2 months and buy a new phone. I found this pdf any of you know if it's a scam or it's actually true ?
And i'm sorry if i posted in wrong topic!
Don't know much about Samsung phones but mine can not boot into download mode using Home+Vol.Down+Power anymore.
However, it works if I do the following:
1) Open Odin
2) Power off device
3) Hold Power+Vol.Up+Vol.Down, while doing this plug in your cable.
4) Maybe you have to long press Vol.Up now
4) Odin should detect phone and phone should be in download mode
Don't know if that still works since I'm refering to my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i which is really old (highest official Android OS was 2.3.6).
If it doesn't work, someone else may help you.
I try that but is not working.... Thx for reply
