I have rooted my GS4A with odin. but now i see there is a update for my phone out.
i am still on mf7, but got an update for HM2(nordic countries).
and i cant update with OTA or kies, ("unit have been changed"). could i just download the firmware from ammobile and flash it with odin? and hopefully nothing is lost?
if someone could give me a writeup i would appriciate it.. want to stay with stock roms but still rooted.
Anyone?

I just did the update myself - I use Triangle Away to work past the detection and do the OTA update, but I had to use the advanced features in the paid version to get it to work. After update you have to re-root it the same way you did the first time. Note that super su might not be installed automatically again, so you might have to uninstall it and reinstall from the playstore after rooting to get it working.
The Triangle Away setting I had to use is "System modified workaround", and the instructions are right below the setting. You enable it, reboot, then disable it and do the update before rebooting. First time I had to try a couple of times, this time I enabled and rebooted, then started the download of the update, then disabled it before installing, and it worked first try.
Good luck!

Hi thanks for your reply. i fiddled with triangle away all morning, got my status to official. but i couldnt get it to work.
here is what i`ve done:
ticked off "System modified workaround", rebooted and downloaded the firmware. but when i try to disable the "SMW" I get an error from triangle away as it could not access superuser su/root access.. so i have to wait till supersu is enabled again to gain access to triangle away to disable "SMW".
tried again and again, but everytime i get an error that says "could not update, try with kies or contact samsung".

Yeah that's the problem I had when I got the first update. What I did the second time was...
Tick system modified workaround
Reboot
Start download of update while root is not available
Click hide or whatever it is, the download will move to notifications
Wait until you have root back
Go into Triangle Away and untick system modified workaround
Proceed with update install (I think you click the notification once the download is complete).
Basically I'm guessing you have to be in the unrooted grace period to start the download, and then it won't check again, so just wait it out so you can disable it, but that's just a guess based on my fumbling around so far. If someone knows better, please correct me.

I just got a notification from my phone that there was an update available (the supposed GPS fix).
So I let it download and install the update. It rebooted to a white screen with a progress bar. Once it hit 100% it said "Update is failed". Then when it booted up it's back at the device management screen an it says "The update was not completed. No update is applied to your phone."
Under settings it says baseband version is now JH7, but I dont think it is because USB tethering is still in there, I read where that was taken out some time ago. How can I tell if the update really installed?
If it didnt install, why didnt it? Was it because I was rooted? Do we have to be at completely stock JF6 to get the update?
I had my phone mostly stock, all I had done was:
rooted, modded settings.db for non-market apps, installed circle battery meter, installed mobile wifi AP.
Any clues?
Having the same issue. I'm not really sure what to make of it.

I tried and tried to get the update to work, it kept crapping out on me. so finally I gave up and just went and got designgears version OTA-JH7.zip and loaded it through clockwork recovery. It seems to be the full update and its stable, unlike after the failed 100% OTA update.
I love the Engrish used, lol. They couldn't even put "Update failed" or "Update is failing"

Hello everyone. I know I'm a noob, but am hoping I can get some help anyway. Tried searching and not too many people are having the same problem, so I started a new thread.
Anyway, I used the one click root found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348557
( I tried to post in that thread, but can't since I don't have 10 posts )
I'm new to hacking and I'll be honest. I only wanted to root my phone so I could use wireless tether, and then use Titanium Backup to freeze a lot of the bloatware on the phone. I have no desire to install a different ROM. I'm happy with the one it has, and happy to take the updates Verizon pushes. Everything was good until the latest update came through. When it downloaded, and rebooted, instead of updating, it booted in clockwork mod recovery. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get the update to go through.
So I settled on never updating again and froze the updater to prevent my phone from trying to update and going to CMR at random times. About 4 days later, my bluetooth quit working. Couldn't figure out why. Thought I was going to have to send it in for warranty work, so I tried to undo all the mods. I unfroze everything, and then hit the one click unroot button. It said it worked. Problem is, superuser is still installed with no way to uninstall.
My first question is this: How do I get superuser gone so my phone can be back to factory so they'll never know it was rooted?
Next I tried to go ahead and get the update since the unrooting process was supposed to have reinstalled stock recovery. Well, it didn't. I still ended up booting up into CMR again. STILL can't update even after unrooting. Double checked, and wireless tether and Titanium backup both say "no root". On a whim, I try the blue tooth and guess what. It worked. May not need to send the phone off for warranty work after all.
So my second question is this: Would freezing the updater cause the blue tooth to stop working? If so, how can I either keep it working or stop the updates without freezing the updater? It's like I have to choose between having blue tooth or having my phone randomly boot into CMR whenever it tries to update.
Third question, pertaining specifically to the one click root I linked to above: How can I get rid of the CMR? Is it possible to root the phone without installing CMR? If I can get it unrooted back to factory ( without superuser or CMR ), how can I root it again so that it doesn't install CMR and keeps the stock one?
I know this is a lot of question and I'm a noob, but I'm a noob willing to learn. If this problem has been encountered before, I apologize in advnace for not finding the appropriate thread. I tried.
updater app
Yes freezing the software update app will cause your Bluetooth to stop working. I used a app called Gemini app manager to go change the permissions of the software update app so it did not have any permissions to do anything. I have not been bothered with update prompts since.

There's no need. MTMichaelson has come up with a easy way to keep your phone rooted during the upgrade from ZV7 to ZV8.

Yes it will. Several people have reported this in different threads. I'm not sure of a way around this, but I think others might have a way around it. If you follow MT's method to keep root during the upgrade, you want have to worry about it!

There's no need to do this either since you can keep root and upgrade.
Here's what you need to do.
1) Go here and root your phone again.
2) Go here to upgrade to ZV8 while keeping root. There's also a method for reinstalling CWM as the upgrade will remove it.
This will: keep your root, get you upgraded, fix your bluetooth and keep CWM.
Good luck!

Ah, thanks. I'll post again to update how that went. Though, I'd like to keep the stock recovery. I'll try to do it without CWM.

How did you change permissions in Gemini? I turned off all the autorun features and was able to get Bluetooth working but I didn't see anything about permissions in the settings. I could have missed it though being at work and all. Will turning off all the autorun features of the Software Update app stop it from trying to download the update in the middle of the night when I'm not looking like it sounds like it should?
In gemeni select block app. It's the same as freezing in titanium backup.

Rooted my AT&T Note 3 with Kingo - great - easy.
Trying to get rid of the *Custom* sign and lock at the boot screen.
Installed XposedInstaller and WANAM to make it show Official Status instead of Custom.
Went into WANAM security hacks tab and checked for taking off Custom.
Rebooted as instructed.
Doesn't work.
Any ideas / workarounds ?

Yeah, it's odd. Doesn't work for me either. Even after multiple reboots. I'd love for someone to chime in for more details. I know this has been talked about somewhere, but the only answer I remember was selecting fake official status in Wanam and reboot a few times after that. After many reboots, it's still CUSTOM, but Knox and everything is 0x0. Thanks.

That's really weird, because this worked fine for me. I didn't do anything differently though, are you sure you have Wanam enabled in the Xposed Framework? After you download a module you usually have to enable it. I would try unchecking and checking, rebooting in-between.
It's true. You have to enable that module within the Xposed App. Try a total shut down and not just a reboot as well.
Pull your battery. After that, the icon will go away. You also need to go look at your About Phone and see system status. Make sure it shows Official (It should). Good Luck and let us know....
When I removed the "Custom" icon from startup screen, it took more than one reboot cycle to go away.
The first reboot after applying the setting, there was still the "Custom" and unlocked lock. I thought nothing of it, since I didn't really care... But at some point after that, with no further action in Wanam, the "Custom" stopped showing on reboot.
I rooted again with the same method and custom miraculously vanished.

Glad to hear that, and thanks for hitting the thanks button. I'm glad we could help. Now, I'm going to give you your first thanks for replying back. Thanks again.
Hello there everyone, total noob here.
I have tried to "root" my S3 LTE using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-cf-root-cwm-recovery-ported-supersu-t1914394 (or more likely this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45291825&postcount=306 ). Everything went great, Odin has shown a pass and it was successful while installing CWM, then I installed Supersu through CWM (only thing I did differently was putting a supersu zip file on internal storage) and that was a success too. I did everything like it said, even without plugging out my phone. After rebooting everything went down...
1. Knox is blocking SuperSU, someone reccmmended that I should have tried to disable it by installing supersu.apk manually, but then it has shown a popup that supersu doesnt have access to binary files. I have checked with root checker and it said that device isnt rooted...
It wouldnt bother me much, because having root isnt necessity for me, but...
2. I cannot access internet via wifi. It connects to router, signal is pretty decent, but still, when I try to use a build-in browser/chrome it just doesnt connect. Nevertheless, I can connect via 3/4g with no problems at all.
Now, I dont have root AND internet access.
Other info that might me useful:
Android 4.3
Null IMEI: no
Baseband: i9305XXUEMK1
I have performed factory reset, still no use.
Any help regarding repairing wifi, getting root access or bringing back state before "rooting" would be appreciated.
Regards,
Maziu92.

The best thing i can suggest you is moving to the new 4.4.4 Stock Rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ck-rom-4-4-4-gt-i9305n-i9305nxxufni4-t2886807
Use Odin v3.07
and then (if u want) root it using "CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.tar.md5."
and install "SuperSU version 2.02"

Oh, I did it, that's why it said the binary was missing. But I did it other way around:
1. I have flashed CWM like it said in second link provided in first post
2. Installed SuperSU 2.02 from zip file on internal card though CWM instead of file provided in thread (I could have installed remove-boot-recovery too, but I didnt notice that I needed that. Anyway, I did that later)
3. Rebooted and tried to turn on - supersu was still blocked by knox :/ BUT!
4. I have installed manually supersu.apk, then opened it via installator (important! Dont tap 'done' but 'run'!) and next I didnt get the "missing binary" popup but if I want to disable KNOX. Well, yeah, I do, so I tapped OK and it looped and looped... http://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys5/comments/2a92qq/supersu_stuck_disabling_knox/cisq087 found this soulution and it worked (reboot phone and start supersu again). Sorry about my short memory, but I think I needed to install supersu.apk manually again and tap disable once more time, but disabling KNOX took a few seconds.
5. And then I went to the settings in Supersu and tapped option 'install supersu into /system', rebooted and it worked fine!
5.a To make sure it really works I downloaded (via 3g ) Root checker and it said it is rooted.
So now I have root, yaay, but still no Wifi access :/

I have been using odin 3.07.
Really, It is the only way to get back wifi? Are there any other options apart this?
Nooby questions:
-will it work with my phone? It says that its "MODEM: I9305XXUFNI3" and mine is XXUEMK1.
-in the meantime I have read about efs files/folder, what are they for and should I somehow backup them?
-while flashing 4.4.4 it is possible that my IMEI will go null?
-will it be possible to go back to 4.3?
I dont want to brick it or anything, thats why I am asking.
And of course, thanks for your help, Tharinduwijewardane ^^
Edit:
Actually, I have managed to repair my WIFI connection without flashing new rom etc.... So what was wrong, you will ask? Me.
I have downloaded adblock (before factory reset) and it asked to connect via proxy, so I did. And then I have disabled it because it was blocking SuperSU along with KNOX. And my phone tried to connect with internet via proxy, but it couldnt, because of this configuration.
Found this by complete coincidence (my GF told me to check if I get connection though Chrome and it said that it cant connect because of proxy settings). It is strange that this configuration was still there, even after factory reset.
Oh well, case solved, thanks again for helping and even everyone else for checking this out^^
glad to hear u got it fixed.

I decided to go ahead & root my S6 using the PingPong Root found here.
All went correctly, but when I go to open SuperSU I get the error 'There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!'
Any ideas on how to go about installing the binary needed? Thank you!

What happens when you run get root on pingpong? Sounds like it's not rooting you. Either 1) you did not open supersu before you ran get root on ping pong. Or 2) it failed to get root (either it tells you failed or it reboots automatically due to kernel panic). If your not getting a pop up saying root was successful, reboot now is recommended, then your not rooted.

I don't get that pop up. But my device does reboot.
I tried opening SuperSU prior to PingPong, but it only has the original error 'no binary'. After you press okay, it prompts you to installing SuperSU once again? Odd... Once you install the 'new version' and open that, it'll automatically open PingPong. From there I select 'Download data' then 'Get Root!'. Which then tells me to wait with a popup, and that is when my S6 reboots.
Ok. Now leaving supersu and pingpong installed, reopen pingpong, cancel the install of supersu. Place the phone on a flat surface. Try just 'get root' again. Sometimes background processes can flip out when pingpong panics the kernel to elevate it's privlages. It's taken me 4 or 5 tries a few times I've used pingpong (others only 1 time, I've had to Odin my S6 about 30 times so far lol)

Thanks for the prompt response Dennis!
I opened PingPong, canceled the install of SuperSU, then selected 'Get Root!'. Says my device is not supported (Though it is in the thread for PingPong). I select download data, (Says Device updated, please try Get Root again.) then I select get root. Unfortunately it reboots my S6 after about 2-4 seconds. I'll keep trying!
Aye, do the same steps I said, but add the download data before get root. Try to do it after everything settles from boot but before starting anything else.

Will do! If this doesn't work after a few dozen tries I may just have to wait for a more stable release, eh?

Beta 6
Edit* Uninstalled both applications, and installed the 5.1 beta. When I select download data, it says to retry the Get Root as usual. Then I select Get Root, and it says 'Your device data is still not supported'.
Here's the quote from Idler in the thread. With option C. he says to possible do a factory reset? I have all of my contacts & photos backed up via my pc. Should I possible try and do a reset? Or do you think it's a waste of time.
Q: It just keeps rebooting, what can I do?
A: The exploit may panic the kernel and reboot your device. If the data is off, same could happen as well. When issue happens, try these:
a. Clean up background process before running root.
b. Turn on airplane mode after clicking "Download Data".
c. Backup your data and run factory reset.
d. Definitely avoid doing anything else when "wait!!!" appears.
If these doesn't help after 5 retries, there could be some issue, please collect the information in /proc/last_kmsg and send it to me.
Note: User reporting installing My Knox or enable other Knox feature (like enterprise provision or KNOX active protection) may cause reboot loop. Be cautious!

Alright. Best bet. Is reboot. Let settle. Set screen timeout to 10 mins. Turn off all apps you have running in the background. Open pingpong. Download data. Turn on airplane mode. Place on desk. Run root. Don't touch until hopefully it says your rooted. Of course you'll need to I stall beta 6 again before you do the above.
If trying that 5 times doesn't work you'll have to head over to the pingpong thread cause I'm fresh out of ideas lol.

Haha, no worries! I will give that a go.
Yay or nay towards a reset? I have a feeling I'll go through the hassle of resetting my phone & I'll have the same error.
Back up with smart switch. Reset but do not download any app but pongpong. That should help with the error, as it's cause by apps in the background running usually. After root restore via smart switch. All your apps come back, just not the app data unfortunately

Dennis, you are a legend! Finally got my S6 rooted after 2 long days.
Decided to go ahead and backup everything on my phone and do a complete factory reset. I did like you had said and only installed PingPong. Booted up the application, got a shut down like I did previously. Tried again, but closed all my running apps and when I was prompted to install SuperSU (even though it was installed when I ran it the first time) I went ahead and installed it once again. And voila, the root went successfully!
:highfive:

Glad to hear, now you just have to restore all your apps and stuff. I'd suggest titanium backup, back everything up and transfer to your computer. That way if you ever have to Odin you have all your apps set up and such for when you reroot after. Store them off the phone as Odin will wipe your phone completely usually.
