Root [International] DjeMBeY ROM's i9505 - Dummies Guide

For once, if it is released, think I might wait for a while before flashing to see how the land lies....

As some old boy keeps saying, flash in haste.....

Wise words indeed! He must be a truly intelligent, handsome and virile young man. ;)

To be honest, I shan't rush in to flash a new ROM until a 3Minit framework is released for it as I find it too useful to go without.

Judging by your facebook profile picture, not sure i agree with you there.....

Indeed wise words, but it wasn't me that uttered them.

Seriously the amount of new/different firmwares coming out is ridiculous. Good, great in fact, but to have a bash at every one would be silly. Liking MH1 so sticking to it. I think I'll stick with it until an official release of 4.3 is deodexed and tweaked.

Close Syd, but not close enough.
Not enough zits, no tell-tale signs of excessive alcohol consumption on the nose, glasses not thick enough, cigarette too big with no barbed-wire scarring.

Far too good looking to be me! :D

One of the newer releases will hopefully feature a fix for the, "Chinese Master Key", exploit.

In all honesty 3minit is what keeps me from going back to stock. This phone is just so damn awesome regardless.

At least untill...

Joy!

But I don't understand Ironass, does your signature not apply to sloths? (TIC).

Seriously, a locked bootloader with no way back would have me selling my SGS4 and getting another, hopefully on old firmware. I know without brave (foolish?) flash happy folks we would not have anything to flash, and someone has to be first, but we be waited a while, a while longer to see if this is the real deal cannot hurt.

Do you mean my motto?...

"ironass motto... "Flash in haste... repent at leisure" ;)"

Doesn't apply to someone like Syd... brave, fearless, intrepid, courageous, heroic, daring, fearless and above all else...




dumb enough to do it! ;)

Update from DjeMBeY...

"KNOX Warranty status should stay untouched but I can't test it as mine was triggered in past...
Bootloader CAN'T be downgraded so it's still one-way street but now with Root Access

XXUDMH8 - Odin Version - UPLOADING in progress...

I'm working on XXUDMH8 - CWM Version with STOCK Kernel... It should work though...

Yes I meant motto. While we all need a test pilot we need a rich enough test pilot who can afford to hard brick their device or not be bothered about being unable to do fun things (unlikely as they wouldn't flash in the first place). What we need is for me to win tonight's lotto, and spend eight hours a day flashing very dodgy things to a pile of SGS4's just to see if stuff works.

If fate will grant me that rollover tonight I would indeed do that, for a while anyway, provided my yacht could get good 4G in the Seychelles.

Oh beeswallox. And I thought this might be the real deal. Thanks Samsung, pandering to the corporate world with your locked bootloaders and Knox security (that happens to tell you if we have used our phones as we see fit, but you don't like)

DjeMBeY has released two stock, pre-rooted ROM's, see #1.1 in post #1 of this thread, for MH8 and MI1.

Both of these have the new bootloader and will increase the new Knox security counter.

These ROM's are recommended for those who are on the latest, bootlocked and Knox enhanced, stock firmwares and are desperate to root their phone's or just don't give a fig about the new bootloader and Knox counter.

Changelist for these is 1220396. The same as MGG, MH5, MH6, MH7 and MH9.
