Mobile ODIN Pro

I could have sworn that someone asked awhile back about this Chainfire app ... must have been before the forums got split up by carrier.
Anyone try this yet? I'm curious - as we're unlocked now - whether we can carry ODIN with us like the rest of the SIII population.
Here's a link to the xDa thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
edit: Mobile ODIN Pro 3.1 is up in the Play Store !!!

Don't think u can use it until the creator of the app says it's compatible with our system.

It might just not be compatable because the developer still assumes we have a locked BL. Now thats its unlocked like the rest of the varients it might just work.

I know Chainfire just got back from an extended vacation ... he's probably very busy.
I'm tempted to give it a try, though $4.99 is a bit steep for a program that may not work with our phones.
I'll put a link to the xDa thread on Mobile ODIN in my OP.

Chainfire posted the above today ... head over to the original post (.. the link is in my op ..)

looks like the testing went well, from what i read in the thread... hopefully this will be posted today...

I spent the better part of yesterday testing 3.1 for Chainfire ... it is sweet.
Mobile ODIN Pro will actually take bone stock firmware (like an OTA), root it and inject SuperSU before flashing it to your phone.
Look for a release anytime now ...

Well if you check the android development section prior to posting you see Casual pinned to the top of the section. There is also a few threads that asks how to use casual on this device which is further evidence.

you shouldn't have done the update since you can't wait for the root.

Well, not everyone got the update since Samsung suspended the new update due the issue that the update has. So we hope the best to come.
Do you mind if I ask why did you update your phone?

There is some root methods as they have been talked about, although its questionable if they are truly malware or not. But many people on the VZW S4 side have used it including these cleanup tools to remove any traces of the supposedly malware side. So its upto you to decide if you want to use that method or not. That's about all we can say here on this as we cannot link to those methods right now as the moderation team is trying to evaluate if those root methods are malware or not.

Cause I'm the type of guy who wants stability... And if there's an update that will provide such stability, then I'm all for it. And aslo, despite all the post going around about it being almost impossible to root after taking the update, I just didn't believe it to be so. Oh, and also because I'm a bit of a risk - taker as well! ?

I also can confirm this. Worked fine for me too.
Just a side note, I have heard good luck from using SuperUser OTA Survival mode in MF3 then upgrading to MJ9.

Call AT&T (or visit their service center) and get your phone replaced (if under warranty). I told them what happened, and they switched mine without a problem. They said a lot of people have been switching their phones for the same reason.

They gave me a refurb, unfortunately. And with MF3.
Still better than MJ9, though.

Sure is nice having a device you can root

So once we obtain root using the "questionable" root method, How do we obtain a custom recovery?

[Completed] Root Samsung Galaxy S4

Sorry for the bad english.
As the title suggest I need your help to root my device, I looked for guide and tutorials but I faced a problem my Build Version is different from any other in guide, so I was scared about flashing
I attached a picture with my phone version

Towelroot doesn't work for me
I've installed towelroot but it said: "This phone isn't currently supported".

Thank you for using XDA Assist. There is a root method fro your device but I'd need to know what specific S4 you have, i9500, i337, etc.

Hi thank you for your answer, but isn't enought the information in the attached screen?
I've samsung s4 gt-I9515

Sorry about that. I didn't look at the pic. But see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2767371 Also see this for further information, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4

Thank, but there is no way to have Knox 0x0 and phone rooted too?

I found on autoroot.chainfire.eu an auto-root version for gt-i9515, do you think is better to use this?

Most likely not.

It was for your first question about knox. If you found cf-auto for your specific device it should work.
