Howdy all,
Just as the title say's, I'm in doing a Note 4 root and am coming into some trouble's since it's my first time doing one.
I follower the how to post by Chainfire , Proceed'd with the process with out issue and installed a few apps that are for root phones and they all seem to work fine.
Search'd around a bit more for a custom rom to use, and decided on trying out X-Note.
Installed the Mobile Odin app and open'd it after the install was complete but i get the following message:
Device model not supported (or not detected - check root) !
Generate a dump file that may help make this device compatible.
Phone Details:
Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Model Number: SM-N910G - Android version: 4.4.4
Now all that's out the way its question time.
1: Where do i send the mobile odin text dump too?
2: Will X-Note G-910F rom be compatible with G-910G?
3: Can it be flashed using the window's odion via usb cable?
ps.
Any other suggestion's for a nice rom would be great, as well as any tips on what not to remove from system app storage.
Went to download the Dr.Keaton Rom and it gave me spyware on the installer :| Anyone got a safe one with no malware attacked to a downloader?
Hi,
All roms will probably show up as viruses/malware ... As they are customized firmware, Usually rooted and all of that will show as exploits to a virus scanner. If you are worried, read the last few pages of any rom thread, whatever current issues there are will be discussed.
As far as your other questions, Here's a dedicated help thread for your device that you can ask for help in,

Good luck!

Have tried two methods to root this phone, superoneclick and up_d.zip from the tutorial and both fail.
The specs on the phone are as follows: Model No-S5830D with Gingerbread build number DTLKI4. What is interesting is the Kies tells me that this models firmeware cannot be upgraded with Kies. Phone is distributed in Canada by Koodo not sure if that makes a difference but the build no is different from anything Ive seen on line.
Suggestions, recommendations, reading sources most welcomed.
Best and kind regards

Same error message as with all the other methods I tried so far:

What ended up working was this link and file, AceGingerbreadroot.zip from android flip dot com

You could paste the link please?
can you please add the file to root the ace S5820D
Rooting the S5830D from Koodo
I've rooted this phone yesterday.
1. Using stock recovery install root zipped file AceGingerRoot.zip (see below)
2. Use BML5 method to find unlock code and use it for unlocking on this stock rom, or use market
Unlock Galaxy Ace app, which is doing the same
3. Install CWM version 4 zipped file ClockWorkModAce.zip (see below)
4. Update to CWM version 5 recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip (see below)
Now you can install the ROM of your choice on your fully unlocked and rooted Ace.
Don't forget to nandroid all original and other ROMs so you can painlessly use the working configuration
Thank you so much for coming back with your solution pgavril. I had the exact same problem with the same phone from Koodoo and you solution worked flawlessly.
Again to help other people search for this problem find this thread, it was.

Thanks again for your help pgavril.
Hello XDAdevelopers
I am out of patients with the internet, I searched all over including this forum but found nothing that helped me (possible I saw the help I needed but was unsure if it pertained to me).
The situation I am faced with is that I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4, I opted for an international version (because of where I live). When I unboxed it to my surprise it came rooted (it is brand new fyi). Immediately after turning it on I saw that there was an update out for it, tried to get the update but I end up with a message saying (after saying registering device for 5 seconds) "Attention Processing Failed". I have combed through the forums to come to the conclusion that I can't update my device because it is rooted. I have tried to unroot my device though SuperSU and factory reset, but when I do this the device boots into the OS with rooted access.
So my question is how can I update my device to the official 4.4.2 (which at the moment is latest to my knowledge if there is a later version I would like to go to that instead). I don't mind losing any data and also I would like to re-root when I install 4.4.2 (given that after the process it is not rooted). Is there a way to go from rooted 4.2.2 to rooted 4.4.2?
Important information:
Model Number - GT-I9500
Android Version - 4.2.2 (stock rooted)
Baseband Version - I9500XXUAMDK
Build Number - JDQ39.F3A268.2JIA388 (That is what I see)
In status->Device status it says Custom
I do not live in America
Also if I need to install mods and other programs to my phone (or computer) please indicate because I am new to rooting Samsung devices. Lastly, think thing called cyanogen, I see that there are some very useful tools with it, would the end result of the procedure allow me to install this mod?
If more information is need, asked and I will provide it.
Hi,
You can likely install 4.4.2 manually with Odin. See this guide on that. You can also ask for help in this thread
> Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505, i9505G, i9506 > Galaxy S 4 General > [GUIDE] Unroot/Unbrick, Flash official stock firmware on Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 & I9505
Good luck!
Thank you. Thread closed.
Hi all, I'm new in this world, I was just using tasker and start seeing things that need rooted phones to work properly, and then I research and find a lot of new things that you can do with a rooted phone, so I started to research about it, I tried the "easiest way" the 1-click KingRoot, but didn't work.
So, I have been reading a lot of this, but I'm not sure of what file use, I know that I have to download all the drivers of KIES 3, put debugging usb, turn off the reactivate, use ODIN (I don't know what version), know how to put the phone in download mode (I think that's the name) but the problem is whit the rooting file, I don't know the difference of cf-auto-root, CWM, TWRP. I know that CF activate the KNOX, but I have more than one and a half year with my note 3 so I think won't be a problem the voiding warranty issue.
Also, I don't know what's the problem with the locked or unlocked bootloader and how to know that, I read I can put in the dialer the *#1234# and know it with the info, but... well... hahaha I can't, so I put it here:
AP: N900W8UBUBMHG
CP: N900W8UBUBMHG
CSC: N900W8TCEBMHG
I don't know if this helps or not, but I put it just in case:
Kernel: 3.4.0-4992259
Compilation number: LRX21V.N900W8UBU2DOE4
I hope you can help me and sorry for the noob questions, I just don't want an expensive brick... :$
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist and welcome to the Android world. There's a forum specific to your device here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3 They are the experts on your device and should be able to help you. I would suggest you look in the general and Q&A forums. Look for the stickied threads, the ones with the push pins in the left column. Read those. CF-Auto Root just roots your device. TWRP and CWM are custom recoveries, and although they can be used to root your device they can also do many other things. If you have a choice I would recommended twrp, it's been better supported lately.
Good luck on your journey!
Thank you for the answer.
I will check the thread and follow your recommendation about de TWRP.
Regards!
Hello Developers. I have Samsung Galaxy Alpha SM-G850F and i want to root it..
I treid all method (i guess). I also tried Rooting method of CF AUTO ROOT FILE which i did using by Odin tool.
But the problem is after flashing the file when phone reboots it shows SuperSu on my phone but when i open it to check whether its rooted or not it ask me to update binary. And when i try to update binary from Normal Mode it says installation failed.
I also checked with Root Checker Basic App and it also says that Your phone does not have root access in red lines.
I really want to use my phone's deep features but this wont me allow.
I really expect a reliable solution from here cause this is the only place where i can find some experts , pls Devs help me to root it. ( forgot to mention i also tried the one click root method, and very similar apps to root itself by phone.) Once root checker showed that my phone is rooted when i installed a app KINGUSER , and it was working to give root access to some apps. But i want to root with SuperSu. Got really frustrated:crying: by trying this hundreds of time pls help me. (And sorry for Bad English)
My Model is SM-G850F Android version 5.0.2 Lollipop
Baseband G850FXXU1COC1 .... Build Number G850FXXU2COD4

Hey,
I've rooted my S4 a long time ago. Now I wanna upgrade to Android 4.4. I downloaded the file from sammobile.
The issue. My usb port in not working. I was searching to a alternative instead of odin. But odin mobile is not compatible with my device.
Any idea how to use a new firmware or unroot my device with just using wlan?
Thank you very much
PS: I tried to read about flashfire. But there comes a warning message and its too complicated to find a solution on my own: Samsung write protection. I am a noob. So I don't want to try it with this method.
