Then i've searched and searched and found this video on youtube with some guy who calls himself the android docter and he said flash your S5 to an earlier firmware, and then you should able to root the device.
Well thats what i did, flashed the device from android 5.0 to 4.4.2..
And guess what still cant root it.
The root i tried was CF-auto-root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.zip and CF-auto-root-klte-kltexx-smg900f.zip
Both the same failure/error. i even tried to flash TWRP but i think i should root the device first.
I got the proper samsung drivers and i tried even some other odin versions.
Can someone help me plz, i would be so thankfull.

I'm Dutch to. First question i have is, are you using original data kabel?

I had the same problem... But i don't know how I came out... I've tried lots of time changing the USB port and the USB jack. Instead of using cf auto root try to root supersu from a custom recovery. So try to flash a custom recovery and see if it works.

Ok....There seems to be a lot of conflicting, confusing information on this thread......
To clear things up a bit.....
It has been mentioned that rolling back to 4.4.2 is necessary in order to gain root....
While it is possible to do this, it certainly isn't *necessary*.
It has also been stated that the rollback and root didn't work.....
I'm guessing here (because the entire method wasn't mentioned) that it was suggested to rollback and use Towelroot to root the device. It is possible to do this, but only under certain circumstances.....
Go to 'about device' and check the build date.....
If the build was compiled AFTER the end of June 2014, towelroot WILL NOT WORK.
In this case, it is necessary to....
1) install (but do not run) the towelroot app.
2) Use Odin to flash a pre June 2014 kernel.
3) run towelroot.
4) re flash your original kernel.
5) enjoy your rooted device.
See this thread for full instructions....

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2843044
If the user is running Lollipop, rooting can be achieved by odin flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0, then booting into TWRP to flash SuperSU 2.46 zip.......
This exact method.....
1) deactivate 'Reactivation Lock'.
2) copy SuperSU zip to your device.
3) boot into download mode.
4) Odin flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 (specifically this version).
5) DO NOT allow phone to boot, (remove the battery as soon as the TWRP flash has completed if necessary) then.....
6) boot directly into recovery. (Vol +, Power & Home button combination)
7) flash SuperSU zip.
8) boot device as normal.

[issue]WiFi Toggle Does not Work

I got my S4 these days. I have flashed XXUAME2 with Odin, rooted the phone, tried MIUI, but was not satisfied. So I restored the backup. Everything was working fina till I installed Adaway and rebooted the phone. Suddenly the wifi was not working anymore. I clicked on the wifi-witch to activate WiFi - no result. Then I rolled back the backup, installed the I9505_XXUEMJ5_MODEM, installed even the "fix". But the wifi still does not work.
Now I just want to have a normal S4 with the original rom, rooted - and working wifi.
What should I do?
Thanks a lot in advance! :highfive:

Hello mate please download this file and flash it via odin by selecting phone, and Remember to turn it off your phone manually before flashing any modem,If the problem still persist please tell me if your in old bootloader or the new bootloader and will be happy to assist you have a nice day.
To check your bootloader go to download mode and if you have an entry of Knox warranty void then you are having the new bootloader.
If you are having the old bootloader XXUB flash http://www.mediafire.com/download/48r0rgqv25s8968/GSM_Modem_XXUEMFK_and_LTE_Modem_XXUBMH1.rar file with odin by selecting phone.
If you are having the new bootloader XXUD flash http://www.mediafire.com/download/zriv6i5c01lqns6/GSM_Modem_XXUEMFK_and_LTE_Modem_XXUMFK.rar file with odin by selecting phone.
First, wow, thanks for that fast reply, dude! Ok, I have 0x1, that means, I have to flash the file for the new bootloader, right?
Is there anywhere a mirror? I am in China right now and mediafire is blocked.
Cheers :highfive:

Edit: if flashing a different kernel thats not work then I think the only way to fix this would be to flash a complete official stock firmware which you can get it from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ or if you want a pre-rooted you can follow the instruction here.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824 have a nice day sir and merry christmas to you.
Cool, I saw your edit post. Thanks, dude.
What Firmware should I choose? The phone was bought in Germany from BASE. BASE is using the E-Plus network. But the phone is not branded nor carrier-locked. Should I choose the E-Plus Firmware?
Plus. How to install the Firmware? Just use Odin3 to flash it?

if you want a stock rom from samsung you can go from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ and if you want a pre-rooted rom you can go from here as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824 Have a nice day.
Remember to follow any instruction before flashing. you have to flash the firmware via odin and select pda. And flash away. And sorry that i cannot assist you for now because ill be having a dinner with my family and hoping someone will help you to fix this problem if the problem still persist after flashing the stock firmware. Merry christmas to you n your family . And xda community
Ok, understood, thanks.:good:
I want to get a pre-rooted ROM. What version should I pick? I want to have Android 4.3 and (if possible) de-bloated. My Knox is 0x1 and I don't really care about Knox or Knox-related features.
The list here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824 is very long and complicated. I read through it two times and am not sure what ROM to download.
Can anyone assist, please?
Merry Christmas everyone! :highfive:

Alright, I have installed this pre rooted version. Wifi works again, thanks.
One annoying issue: everytime I restart the phone, I have to activate Wifi again and re-enter the password.
Edit: Another very annoying issue: I believe that screen is not being dimmed correctly. It is always to dark, even in a very bright enviroment. Plus: the LEDs of both hardware keys are always on when the screen is on.
I just want to have the normal Samsung Stock rooted.
What am I doing wrong?

If you installed the pre-rooted rom and your having a problem do a factory reset bro phone settings> accounts > backup and reset >Factory reset . Or turnb off your device manually and wait a few sec hold power+volume up the same time and do it there as well, Make sure to use the odin 3.09 when your flashing ..ODIN has problems with flashing latest FW's and if WiFi doesn't work you MUST flash ROM again

No If you download the pre-rooted rom you need to flash it via odin , just like how you flash the stock rom have a nice day.
Edit: if you see a .tar inside of the file means you need to flash it via odin
Understood. Alright, since I don't want to lose all my apps and settings, I decided to flash the Wifi-Fix: XXUEMKE WiFi_FIX
I used Odin to flash this tar.
Unfortunately the Wifi has still the same issue like in the beggining.
Is there an option to flash the wifi fix in the recovery?

The question is, did u even extract the file you download ? And no you can only flash it via odin and select phone/cp
Sent from my Phone.
Hey, thanks for your help, mate!
Yap, I have extracted the file and flashed the *.tar via odin. Still no result.
Alright, to sum it up. The fix does not work for me. Why? Should I try to flash another Modem?
edit: I really want to have the phone working now. I dont care about other modifications, I just want to have the basic OS rooted. That is all. How to do this?

If i have this problem right now,the best thing i will do is either to flash pre-rooted rom or the stock rom if there is any Fc and such . Just turn of your phone the wait a few sec and hold power+volume up in order to reach recovery and do a wipe cache and a factory reset . Hehe
Edit:you already did flash the pre rooted that joku gave u right? Reflash it and follow the step above
Sent from my Phone.
Ok, thanks.
There are no FC at all, just the wifi is the problem.
However, I will flash I9505XXUAME2_MODEM, apply the fix and hope that it will work.
Should I flash modem with odin via "PDA" oder via "PHONE"?
Another question: If I download a pre-rooted ROM and flash it via the recovery, will the new modem be included in the ROM?
Thanks again, mate.
Edit: http://d-h.st/users/DjeMBeY/?fld_id=16262#files
There is no fix for the UAME2. That sucks.

Download odin 3.09 its better to use it with s4.
If your gonna flash the modem always use PHONE/CP. If your flashing pre-rooted rom from djembey or samsung stock firmware always use PDA. And if you download custom rom such as omega,phoenix,golden,etc.etc then you flash that via recovery using either CWM, philz or twrp.
Edit try emj5 wifi fix if not just do a fresh install

[Q] N9005 revert to stock rom

Cheers!
I recently flashed CyanogenMod 11 on my N9005. The thing is i'm not happy with it and i want to revert back to a stock rom. So what i was wondering is if i have to revert to the exact old version (4.3) or i could flash a stock KitKat firmware from SamMobile and how can i do that? I read a thread where a guy bricked his phone when trying with cwm cause he had some files missing. I know most users are sick of noobs like me asking this kind of questions but i would much appreciate if someone could help me out.
Thanks

Follow the instructions on the link, also there is a link on that page which takes you another page how to root N9005XXUENB7 which is the latest firmware for samsung galaxy note 3 SM-N9005. Please make sure you follow the instructions carefully and you have the right model international Note 3 SM-N9005,
http://nasirtech.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/n9005xxuenb7-android-442-kitkat.html
The above method is for bringing the phone to factory stock. If you just want to revert back to a samsung rom and your phone is rooted with custom recovery, which I presume it is, you can just flash a samsung rom of your choice there are plenty to choose from and every rom thread have instructions how to flash their rom
Hope this helps, all the best.

So, like yesterday, Odin fails on me. At the very end. When the green loading bar is full and it seems like it's going to succeed, the last line says failed. The phone has CWM 6.0.4.7 flashed and CF AutoRoot. Any ideeas?

ok that NB7 is failing on me as well for some reason, but in the mean time to get your phone back on line download NB4 (link below) and flash using odin 3.07, thats what I did and got no errors phone booted with no problems, if it takes too long to boot after flashing or goes in a boot loop enter recovery mode (home+power+vol up) and do data/factory reset and clear cache but that will wipe the internal storage, hope this will work

Another thing is your phone a 16GB model ?, or is it 32 or 64GB, cheers.
It's actually 32GB. I'm just after realizing. Would that be the reason why it's not working?

No problem ur welcome, I am glad your phone is back online mate and I hope it stays that way , all the best, tc

whatever the rom i put on it and for flashing an entire rom several times it works perfectly just cant figure why for a complete rom no problem and for a little 24 mo of cf root it crashes every time tried several ports cables odin versions 3.09 3.07 1.85 1.87 niet
so has anyone succed rooting the 900h version and how and do you advice me to wait or keep trying and risking to brick it
thanks in advance for interest and answer
no one have the 900h variant ??? :crying:
for those interested the problem was from reactivation lock that's it ,question ansered by my self
You need to enter into security settings and disable Reactivation Lock. After procedure you can turn it on again.
I habe G900H version and everything gone ok. Piece of cake.
I've been through some serious root problems. When I root successfully. I have flash cook rom 4.2 JB and memory partitions in the device's successful I lost root. Luckily I have TWRP 2.5.0.0. Then I tried to re-root your device by supersu.zip but without success. I also use framaroot failed. I finally copied the su binary file in system / xbin and copy files supersu.apk in system / app but I still can not get root. So how to root this device. My device is lenovo-p770 rom: 4.2 JB

You are advised to report this at Lenovo's section
Can you please list down the steps you used to root the G900h?
I have one too and soft bricked it while trying to use cf. Don't want that to happen again.

hello guys. .
I have 3 problems regarding my Samsung galaxy s5 SM G900H . .
1)I have recently rooted with cf auto root via ODIN. . BT by default I got super su version 2.68 which it beta app. . .even play store have version2.65 as latest version. . .super su keeps on asking for binary update. .when I try to update it normally,it always gets failed. .
2)I thought if I could install cwm/twrp recovery I could install super su version 2.65 and fix the binary issue. . I got the cwm recovery and flashes it via ODIN. . .cwm was installed. .BT it shows mount issues and seems to have reading SD card issues. . I can't backup to my SD card or so. . .
this is the text which I see when open cwm recovery. . .even when I installed Phil's recovery from rashr recovery tools. . ven Phil's recovery showed same issues. .
3)I have installed flashfire in my Samsung galaxy s5. . it shows the following warning. . .
I just want to backup my current stock ROM and move to s6 ROM for my Samsung galaxy s5 SM G900H. . .if you have any working alternatives feel free to suggest. . .
please help. .

[Q] S4 Soft Brick

Hey so one of my friends is having problems getting their S4 to boot. Currently she has K0T49H.L720VPUFNAE on her S4. She has no custom recovery, but did have the phone rooted. Now the device can't boot. It gets past the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen and then goes black, the blue notification light pulses, and the phone makes a beep (almost like the initial boot sound) and then just hangs there. I've tried to odin back to stock, but I receive "failed! (Auth) almost immediately after starting.
On the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen both "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" & "Warranty bit: kernel" are displayed in the top corner.
I can boot into stock recovery & download mode.
Any help would be appreciated!
It sounds like you are trying to Odin an older version on there than NAE. You cant downgrade, only can flash the NAE tar or the newer NG2.
Download it here, and try flashing it instead. After you flash, if it still wont boot, boot into recovery mode and do a factory reset.

I am trying to flash NAE tar and have tried the NG2. Both result in the errors mentioned above.
I also have gone into stock recovery and performed a factory reset.

Okay, its really strange honestly. I spent sometime looking online for possible solutions, and the only thing I can come up with is:
1. make sure you are using the usb cable that came with the phone, and that it is undamaged
2. if its a desktop, make sure the usb cable is connected on the back. if you have usb 3.0 ports try it on there
3. some people say odin and kies dont get along. I do not share this experience, but who knows, doesnt hurt to try uninstalling kies, and install phone drivers
How did this happen by the way?

I'm using my S3 cable since her OEM one is broken. I tried around 4 different cables since I had the same thought. I never had kies installed and I did install the drivers.
I have really awful internet stability and speed (like 100kbs) so I'm hoping that the download is just corrupted and I'm just trying to re-download it.
I honestly don't know, she gave it to her brother to look at first, whom I suspect made the issue worse. I'm usually pretty good at fixing these things and I thought that it was an easy fix since it could reach download mode. I really appreciate all the help still.
have you tried flashing a pit file?
here is a 16 GB Sprint L720 NAE pit file you can try. do that with caution, and as a last resort.

I got philz custom recovery finally, and was able to flash NG2 pre-rooted, but the baseband version is old and wifi/data isn't working. I'm trying to flash the NG2 Modem.tar under the phone tab in odin, but i receive fail auth still and secure check fail: apnhlos.
I'm currently pursuing .tar to flashable .zip python converters, because it seems I cannot flash anything but one specific version of philz recovery in odin, but can flash anything through custom recovery.

To be honest TWRP is your better option for recovery on the S4 (I was a staunch supporter of Philz on my S3) one thing you need to make sure when you flash TWRP it to uncheck the auto reboot option. When flash completes, unplug and pull battery and then boot directly into recovery, then it sticks. You may be having WiFi/data issues because of your baseband/ROM combo. Have you tried flashing the latest stock?
Need Help Device stuck After flash?
I have the sprint sph l720t model. I finally acquired root access. I tried to flash Cyogenmod. When I did, it finished and rebooted and a after reboot it says cyogen mod in a circle that just keeps on spinning. I tried to get back to my blue team win screen into recovery but no luck. I got the phone to go into download mode once. I do have backups on my SD card with all the files can I flash a backup? What can I do?? The recovery says in red kernel is not se enforcing then under that in yellow set warranty bit: kernel? Can I use odin to do something in download mode to get my device back up?? I did refash my MD.5 file again from chainfire no luck! Help? Thanks

Yes I am now running Lollipop 5.0.1. I also did finally get TWRP installed. Everything is back to normaral. I re-installed the firmware from sam mobile. I then ofcoarse, went and flashed cf-autoroot with Odin. I pulled the batterry this time and booted up into recovery. Somehow everything is working and I do have recovery somewhere in my device. I want to try another Rom but Honestly TWRP makes me nervous evertime I open the app! What should I try next. Its just like factory rom with root but not really root. Its weird. At suggestios would be cool.. Thanks

You have a lot of options now that you are presumably on the latest baseband. Just download the ROM you want, copy it to your external SD card and flash in TWRP.
If you like TouchWiz I suggest Wicked X:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3115583
It's a fairly modified TW ROM, with quite a few mods that you can apply as you see fit. The developer is fantastic, quick to support and address issues. Every time he changes devices, I change to that device, he's that good. I've been stalking him since his time developing for the S2.
If TW isn't your thing, I suggest BlissPop:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62018060
When I'm not running Wicked X I'm running BlissPop. The only caveat is I have not been able to get data to work properly on the latest builds, but the experimental build from 9/28 that I run is flawless. If you can't find it on their page, let me know I have it up on Mega.
Neither one is better than the other, it just a matter of preference. They both have great battery life, especially when paired with Greenify.

Bricked Device

Hey Guys,
i have a Samsung Galaxy s4 i9505 LTE and i stayed a long time with Slimkat ROM which was 4.4.4, so i wanted to flash the offical stock rom 4.4.2 via odin and it says failed and when i start my phone it says: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. The bootloader calls:
Product Name: GT-I9505
Current Binary: Samsung offical
System Status: Custom
Knox Kernel lock: 0x0
Knox Warranty Void: 0x1
CSB-Config-LSB: 0x30
Write Protection: Enable
eMC Burst Mode: Enable
Is it maybe knox blocked the downgrade? Should i flash the offical Lollipop firmware or what?
so could someone please help im so mad and frustrated.

It could be that the ROM you are trying to flash has bootloader that is older than the ROM currently on the phone. You could try flashing the latest ROM as the latest ROM would have a bootloader, modem, etc. that is the same or newer that the bootloader currently on the phone.

So should i flash the latest stock rom?
Here's a test:
download the latest Odin-flashable TWRP for your phone;
open Odin and uncheck everything except f.reset time;
connect the phone and flash TWRP;
when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable, remove battery, replace battery;
use button combination to try and boot into recovery.
If you can boot into recovery, flash a CM ROM, install Samsung Phone Info app from the play store. This app will confirm the modem and bootloader on the phone.

This TWRP is for the i9505 International s4 with qualcomm processor: https://dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/twrp-2.8.6.0-jfltexx.tar.html
The latest tar version is 2.8.6.0. There is a 2.8.7.0 version but it is in an img format. You can use cygwin to convert the file from img to tar for flashing in Odin.
I recommend TWRP as many ROMs require it as the recovery program.
