QUOTE(fkinmeng @ Jun 18 2014, 12:37 AM) i9505, a super simple guide for noob to root would be good. If you want simple, of course CF-Auto Root method. Just google " S4 i9505 CF Root "    |

QUOTE(xixo_12 @ Jun 18 2014, 12:14 PM) Hello im using s4 i9505.. still having permissice status 4.2.2.. where can I download malaysia original firmware without knox trip? You can download your latest firmware from www.sammobile.com. And flash using Odin without tripping the knox.If I want to root it.. no problem right? Bit confuse with current samsung... I read a lot info..but a bit afraid to root n having different kernel Root will trigger the knox flag to 0x1, that's the basic until now but im unsure of i9505. As im i9500 user. Ive seen quite a lot of dev's doing an analysis on how the knox behavior. Visit XDA's forum |

QUOTE(fkinmeng @ Jun 18 2014, 05:45 PM) don't know how.  Try below, yet it is the easiest method to backup your Efs folder, but me myself i will recommend the ADB pull method. But try it, once backup is done, do it again at least 3 times. My recommendation Links credit'ted to XDA Devs |

QUOTE(xixo_12 @ Jun 18 2014, 06:55 PM) this s4 is still in warranty, Haha, in my opinion, just go for it. What for the risk if it wasn't for us to take?my concern is to have another kernel so that i can control n limit voltage so that it consume low power and yield minimize temp.. but root will knox counter, im thinking twice to do or not to do.. my s2 is super easy then this s4 matter   |

QUOTE(xixo_12 @ Jun 18 2014, 10:21 PM) Oic..tq for clarification..thats mean put aside the knox.. once trigger u will have a lot of rom to play.. tq so much Put aside the knox, once you decided to go custom, remove any knox'ie thinking in ur mind and proceed. You are no more a naked baby, youre a guy now  About roms, you choose which suits you best. My advise is, better go for Stock-Based custom rom. Find the one with minimum theming & mods, tweak it as per your needs. Any clarifications needed, can always ask here |

QUOTE(Dannyl @ Jun 19 2014, 09:23 AM) I think after 4.2.2. I was on 4.2.2. and no KNOX in bootloader. Can freely flash anything without tripping anything. Knox bootloader came in 4.3 JBuTorrent has a new version out. Changelog includes, 'Solution for Google/KitKat external SD card restrictions.' QUOTE(n8210 @ Jun 19 2014, 09:46 AM) which is ur rom?

QUOTE(adibhaniff @ Jun 20 2014, 06:39 AM) How about performance? You can refer to the post above me. What do you wanna know about performance? Do you mean performance with custom kernel? It depends on how you manipulate with the settings of your own. Like Scheduler/Governor, some kernel have the ability to UV/OC but to me i dont see the needs for that as the battery life with stock is already decent. QUOTE(fkinmeng @ Jun 20 2014, 09:31 AM)  you use custom battery? Im not using stock samsung crapbattery |

QUOTE(fkinmeng @ Jun 21 2014, 01:08 AM) I didn't check mine, but apparently it won't trigger knox, according to xda. You can check your Knox counter value in Download Mode, wether it is 0x0 or 0x1 (sometimes just 0 or 1)Or another alternative is just hit the Check For Updates in Software Updates settings menu If the results turns out "You have the latest updates/Got updates" or something the same meaning, means your knox is safe at 0x0. If your knox already triggered, the result will be something like " Your Firmware have been modified " This post has been edited by wajahebat: Jun 21 2014, 01:19 AM |

QUOTE(fkinmeng @ Jun 21 2014, 01:32 PM) I tried to update software, it says "you have the latest update" thingy, so knox is safe? Your knox count is 0x0 anyway using 4.4.2. QUOTE(fkinmeng @ Jun 21 2014, 03:32 PM) I accidentally delete the wrong apk, now my screen can't auto rotate anymore. Lulz, actually I have that APK but at work now. If you want, I can give it to you later tonight |

QUOTE(xixo_12 @ Jun 21 2014, 11:03 PM) Im coming from 4.2.2 .. yes it's 4.2.2 So true, Helium app should be good to make app backup. But i think problem may arise when you restore your app data after flash 4.4.2let me check with u guys before proceed so it got this file ... 1.6gb   now do this and lastly just apply this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281738 should be good rite? anything to backup just in case.. using helium should be ok for data right? As previous rom (where you made backup) is on 4.2 JB. But im not soo sure. Can try tho. |
