4.3 clean root on SGH-I317M on Build JSS15J.I317MVLUCMK5

Ok so this is what i did to root my Telus Device SGH-I317M on Build JSS15J.I317MVLUCMK5
I started with a factory reset from backup and reset dont think this is necessary but nice to do with a clean isntall
once that was done i turned off the device and booted into download mode volume down + home + power
opened ODIN 3.09 and added the CF-Auto-Root-t0ltecan-t0ltevl-sghi317m.tar.md5 to the AP section. then clicked start. once done the device restarts back to normal and the root is applied, but during that KNOX detects it and disables it from working.
plug device into computer and ran Kies 3 and ran a firmware upgrade and initialization. took about 20 minutes.
once phone started you will notice superSU is no longer on your system.
TEST FOR THIS PART... PROBABLY not necessary but i did this and this is what happened.
run KNOX and allow it to Install. once done it will ask you to add passwords and at the end it will say it is not compatible with this device or whatever. KNOX has now terminated its warrenty or what not and will not install.
i did not have an update for superSU on Google Play but i DID have the update on Aptoide. so i updated it and ran the program.
program told me it was no longer on the device saying the libraries or whatever were not there.
so i ran Odin and ran AP again and ran it once it was done phone started and no messages and superSU worked.
because now that you factory loaded from kies for some reason it knows you attempted it the first time that now knox will not work
not quite sure how that works or if its even relevant. but when you see in the download mode it says warrenty void 1 or whatever and the knox crap its all disabled now i am guessing because i got no problems or messages once i finished it all
so step by step.
STEP 1. put in download mode and run odin 3.09 load AP and make sure Auto reboot and F. reset time are the only ones with check marks and then click START.
STEP 2 Once device reboots you will get errors and knox blocking it. this is normal. (for me it was anyway) open Kies 3 and do firmware upgrade and initialization. depending on internet connection this could take some time. you may be able to Odin the firmware but i chose kies 3
STEP 3 Once system restore from Kies is done open KNOX and install it. should fail and say not available for this device. (happened on my device)
STEP 4 either run aptoide and download the update for superSU tho you dont see it, its still there. open that will tell you to re do the root process again.
STEP 5 run odin 3.09 load AP and make sure Auto reboot and F. Reset Time are the only ones with check marks and then click start.
STEP 6 once device has started download root checker from the google play store and test. should say success.
i did at first after i root checked it with success i rebooted the device and started it up then opened superSU asked me to download binaries i pressed back by accident and then it said knox detected would you like to try and disable knox. select yes. and then success
you are rooted and no more notifications.
THESE ARE THE STEPS THAT I DID TO ROOT MY DEVICE FOR THE SPECIFIC MODEL AND BUILD so results may differ from others. so far its worked on my SGH-I317M TELUS phone running virgin mobile sim
Hope everyone else has as much success as i did.

If you just want a custom rom all you really need to do is update the bootloader or already be on 4.3 official then just boot into download mode use Odin 1.85 to flash twrp recovery wipe your data and flash the rom you want. Or just update to official use chain fire auto root and just update supersu it will disable Knox.

Is there an updated bootloader/modem? I am on skynote 4.3 r9z, but my baseband is still LJ2, I need the mk5 modem for i317m.

If you can't find a Odin modem I would update to official then re root and flash away.

Thanks but I am not that keen on getting the official rom. For one I hate using kies, it was a mess when i tried to update with my old s3, so I have not used it at all. Plus I have tons of stuff on my current phone that i would need to restore after things are done.
Also, i'd rather not having to deal with knox if i can, even though the phone is out of first yr warranty period. I have always used custom roms on my note 2 and s3 so i will leave at that for now.

I tried that method didn't work for me. I couldn't update or use superSU maybe the root I used didn't fully install but they way I wrote down to doing it on stock room works every time.
I haven't tinkered with any custom roms yet either, not sure what's the benefit of them

The main reason to use a custom rom is to remove all carrier related stuff on your phone. It also let's you add different mods and features you want. For example you can use the note 3 roms. Pretty much turn your phone into a note 3.

It looks like the DN3 rom will get an update tomorrow. Right now the only bug is the contacts app not working right. I'm sure that will be fixed. I've been using it and the note 3 features are nice.

I think it got re based off of the in n7105 init rom. It should work for the 317m. The OP should have instructions for the 317m.

Look at the android development section for it. It should be one of the first roms listed. Just be aware if the update released tomorrow is re based off of the n7105 you will have to wipe again. It's nice.

Right now you just need to flash the rom then devil kernel and the 317m modem. Don't worry you won't brick. I would wait for tomorrow to flash because it will be updated and it might have all the options for the 317m. I have a 317 myself

alright ill wait till tomorrow. and hopefully i find a detailed description on how to do all this. ive only ever ran the s1 because it was bricked had to run all the modem the pda and pit or whatever a long time ago so my minds gone all fresh on the rooting and flashing roms. ive only ever run stock roms. but for 4.4 i want to get it on my device because i love the group play video and the screen recording and the other few things that are awesome on the note 3
unless there is a way to get all that on the 4.3 note 2 firmware that would be awesome as well

i317m - no mobile data with CF-auto root zip file in odin
I guess I have done enough reading to be dangerous. I wish there was a comprehensive glossary for this stuff.
Anyhow - through ODIN I have flashed CF-Auto-Root-t0ltecan-t0ltevl-sghi317m - and today I have no mobile data.
Where could I find an image to go back to the original phone and start again? It is an i317m Note2 from Bell
Thanks

Today no mobile data
Basically - I have no mobile data (it seems) How can I diagnose my problem. Is there something to show signal strength. Or is there a log file showing whether my modem is handshaking or what can a guy do?

Downgrade Direct from the Note 2 No pc Needed 4.3 -> 4.1.2

FACTS:
I Just dowgraded my 4.3 ota to 4.1.2 In 2 minutes literally. NO PC NEEDED! NO ISSUES!
The prerequisites :
Note 2 50% charged "Not necessary though"
Mobile odin pro app .
4.1.2 tar file by teshxx
It's not noted anywhere else of this being done but I just did it successfuly.
How to:
Mobil odin pro is same as odin on a pc but it's all done right from the t889
Which is supported by mobile Odin pro.
Buy$ or get mobile odin pro app.
Select the 4.1.2 tar and flash it you can Inject mobile odin and su into the flash prior to flashing the tar
Look for the options in mobile Odin
Essentially You will skip all the steps of using the PC odin method that has errors ans more steps.
No need to get Odin errors or bootloops No need to cf auto root.
This method seems to be problematic free.
Reboot phone and 4.1.2 will be in settings.
Along with superuser installed on 4.1.2.
KNOX does remain in download mode but has no affect or presence within the daily operating system or its functionality.
No superuser force close nothing.
To make it short you can now flash 4.1.2 roms.

Not trying to be picky, but mobile odin doesn't touch the bootloader at all. PC odin does. That is the reason the mobile odin process doesn't hangup like the pc versions do. A significant portion of the odin flash is not happening. If you boot into download mode you will see the knox counter staring back at you.
Having said that, I am glad you are happy with the results. It is good that you have options.

You see the knox counter either way either method I nevrr disputed that fact ...
My point was that its a easy and available method to get back to 4.1.2
If one chooses to spend...a few bucks on mobile odin pro.
Fortunately I'ts no longer relevant to me I'm on a new 4.1.2 s3 LTE ans staying that way.

I guess my point was that Mobile Odin is not a *perfect* substitute for PC odin. If a person were to attempt to flash 4.3 odin files they would not get the bootloader updated and might have problems with WiFi and other issues as a result. It is a great piece of coding and very imaginative. It also has limitations.
My post is more for others in the audience who need to know this specific limitation. Personally I would be less than impressed if I'd spent $6 only to find that the app didn't do what I'd been lead to believe.
There was a guy over on Dr Ketan's patch thread who used mobile odin to try to flash the bootloader patch several times and just couldn't get it to work.
He thought that Mobile Odin = PC odin. It simply doesn't.
Enjoy your SIII LTE. It should be an awesome device for you. Happy New Year.

i Just want to add that im the second person that was able to get back to 4.1.2 with no errors or problems. infacted i didnt use mobile odin i simple downloaded the zip of 4.1.2 rom that was stock rooted and flashed it through TWRP OR Custom recovery. You must have custom recovery installed. any way 4.3 looks nice i like it but it has too much issues wifi crash and tethering not working 100%.

Thanks for the info. However, why are you going back to 4.1.2? What did you not like about 4.3? I stayed at 4.1.2 as I did not find many reasons to update. Thanks for you info.

i loved the look and feel of 4.3 and the new setting tabs. but the fact that I couldn't get my tether to stick 100% was a killer for me. and I also wanted to try out 4.3 to see if I should upgrade to the galaxy note 3. im currently using the note 2 and if I cant get tethering on the note 3 theres no point in me upgrading lol.

Hello. I have found no issue whatsoever. I suppose that is why the Android Odin is paid while the Windows one is free. It does the job more easily with no fuss. I only want to point out that you need to get the right version to downgrade to. If you don't you may experience problems eg you might not be able to connect to the GSM network in your area or country. That has nothing to do with Mobile Odin though.

Yes, mobile Odin is indeed a very good application. The reason this works using Mobile Odin is that it does not flash the bootloader.
If you pack a tar.md5 file excluding the bootloader then you can downgrade using pc Odin too.

I am not sure if anyone has packed it yet. Did you try flashing any 4.1.2 custom roms ?
Custom roms are usually not packed with a bootloader and you should be able to flash them using any custom recovery.

Have you tried www.sammobile.com/firmware?

Our model isn't listed there. I believe someone posted the stock rom on here I'll see if I can find it.

Can you please do a dump first.
Pm if you need assistance doing that. It's all for development purposes.

Stock ROM for SCH-I435 Samsung Galaxy S4 mini. I only have 14 days on this site where the file is stored, had to pay $15 for an account cuz the download was so slow it was painful. I have the file safely at home now, and have flashed my bricked Verizon S4 mini back to like new stock. I bricked it with rooting on Towel root, or maybe kingroot, it was over a year ago, then I removed some of the wrong system files and it wouldn't boot anymore. Now it is stock 4.4.2, baseband I435VRUBOH3 BUILD # KOT49H.I435VRUBOH3 Configuration version B13.SAM.SCHI435.0 The phone hardware version is I435.05 . The link below is a full system image ready to flash with Odin, and I can atest to it works well. Put your phone in Airplane mode as soon as it comes up to prevent any OTA updates. The link is good until 5/20/17.

Need this please.

I have it somewhere. I'm inanely busy at the moment. I'll try to remember to check in here and put it on something like onedrive. I can't get to it this week.

[Q] Help with pimpim out friends MetroPCS Plz! :) (Solved!)

Hey all. So im usually not in these threads, i own a sprint note3 myself. But my friend has a metropcs s4( SGH-M919N, jfltetmo). And he wants to root but dosent know much about rooting, roms ,and such. I would say im pretty good with these things, ive had a lot of experaince, just not with the s4. So basically i did some research and im putting a mini guide below of my understanding of how to pimp out this phone! If anyone could correct, add-to; and answer some of the questions I had. Thanks Folks!
General Questions
First off. My understanding is T-mobile and metropcs software is NEARLY identical.
1.What is the current version/ name of the latest T-mobile s4 software.
2.What is the current version/ name of the latest metro pcs s4 software.
3.Are they identical, or compatible. Meaning could i odin the latest stock tmobile s4.tar software on metropcs phone, and have everything work properly. (In case i were softbricked)
4. If not could someone please link me to where i could find the official stock metro-pcs..Tars (flashable with odin)
Rooting methods:
1.)This is Chainfires Auto-Root for t-mobile S4 which some have said worked well for them. Thou I have read of issues (loss of wifi- Fails)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294005
is this the best most current rooting method for metropcs phone? Again any success or issues?
OR..
2.) Injecting twrp then flashing Update-Supersu
This is the most used rooting method for note3 and it seems fairly universal. Would this likely work for Metropcs S4?
Step 1: Place "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip" on sd card. This is Chainfires flashable root (http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/)
Step 2: Odin twrp-2.7.1.0.tar for tmobile s4 (http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/179)
Step 3: immediately boot into twrp. Flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip.
Reboot: Done
Theoretically this should easily root phone and instal twrp recovery, without changing stock software...thus, no issues. YES?
Unrooting
Again could someone please point me to the correct stock software .tar that I could odin to unroot, un-soft brick the metropcs s4
Custom roms:
I hear that the custom roms for Tmboile and Metropcs are very interchagnale
Obviously the AOSP unified custom roms should be safe to flash without issues. (jflte roms)
(Cm s4 unified nightlies: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jflte&type=nightly)
BUT:
what about touchwiz based roms. Are there any specifc toucwiz metropcs custom roms to flash. Or can any of the t-mobile toucwiz custom roms be flashed to metropcs phone.
so again. If anyone could give me their thoughts/ideas, and clear up some of the questions i had and point me to best/safest way of working with the metropcs s4. Thanks in advance, sorry i know its a lot of reading: :good:
:cyclops:

4.3 or 4.4.2? I have a Metro Gs4 and I used saferoot on 4.3 with no complications at all. And any TW ROM will work.

thanks for the reply.. but ya i was asking what is the latest official software for the metropcs s4, and what is it called. I havent been able to take a look at the phone yet, so im having to look everything up.
My understanding is that the metro pcs was only upgraded to 4.3 with the name of mk5.
was there a kit-kat update released for metro s4?

1) NB4
2) don't know but I think it does have 4.4.2 update
3) pretty identical but I would not interchange firmwares
4) sammobile.com
Root
1) no issues with me with M919 using that method
2) I wouldn't recommend doing it this way, after 4.3 it doesn't work very well.. It looks like you're looking to flash a ROM, so root isn't even needed, just flash a recovery with Odin and flash ROM.. Although this will trip Knox counter.
Unrooting just flash stock firmware
Custom ROMs: aosp or touchwiz will work without issues.. If WiFi does not work, flash NB4 baseband (safe to flash on M919N)

From what I am told the s4 for Metro is still coming our with 4.3 JB. But once the phone is activated you have to opt out of the update when it asks. I have been treating MK5 just as if it was MK2 and I have not had any issues.

Thank you so much for the Stock firmware! :good:
I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the *seemingly* conflicting responses.
So i got a chance to look at the phone. It is 4.3 Mk5, What is MK2?
So, so far your "saferoot" root method seems to be the safest most compatible root method from what ive read.
thou as far as installing custom recoveries Twrp seems to be the best, but ive read that 4.3 Is now a locked bootloader!???
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544503
that sounds ridiculous. I dont believe its locked. and i should be able to odin the latest version of twrp to the device, right? I know knox has been implemented in 4.3+ but thats no big deal
also about roms:
I know that the actual tmobile S4 did get a kit-kat update (called NB4) the metropcs variant definitely did not
you said that any touchwiz rom would work, as did @serio22 above.
But it seems that they only stock custom roms in these threads are tmobile touchwiz kit-kat roms.
but according to @serio22 above: I should not "interchange firmwares"
So if that is true what touchwiz roms can you flash? they are all tmobile roms
My understanding was I could root, odin twrp. And flash roms. Aosp roms are golden but, i would think that since metropcs even uses tmobile network now, you should be able to flash any tmobile custom rom (even if its kitkat) and have everything functioning... True??
thank you both very much @serio22 and @Kriptik210
and im sorry to be a pain im just genuinely confused, and i really need clarification, i said id have this guys phone figured out by Monday!

Firmware is not the same as ROM, that's why I suggest you flash ROM instead of firmware, any ROM will be ok. Bootloader is not locked I'm sure, Knox bootloader does not mean locked bootloader as many people think. Just Odin twrp and flash your ROM as I said earlier, rooting would be an extra step.

ah that makes sense. Well id still want to root, just to titanium backup his things first, and have a secure stock rooted nandroid backup. Though then just a couple more questions remain :highfive:
So say i were to flash any toucwiz t-mobile kitkat rom Such as.

The OS would be kit-kat. Would i need to then odin flash a kitkat baseband (modem) as well for working signal. If so how?
Also does the kitkat rom change the bootloader already on phone.
reason being. For the note3 once you update it from JB to kitkat. The bootlaoder is changed. Meaning you CANNOT downgrade even odin flashing the previous version .tar will BRICK
is this the same case? If i flash a tmobile rom (thus upgrading), would i not be able to odin the metropcs 4.3 MK5 stock.tar
OR
would i not be able to simply restore the nandroid stock rooted MK5 backup i made.
Thanks again :highfive:

Bootloader will not update and its not needed because kernels are modified to bypass this "restriction" only thing you need to update is the modem to NB4.. There is a thread already with instructions, just follow it and you'll be good.. And yes you can still flash back to 4.3 stock and restore nandroid because bootloader will not change

Thanks a millions times over good sir! I should now be able to put together the pimpest of phones haha
Its a good feeling when things all come together. Like completing a puzzle!
:laugh:

I've heard that my MK5 bootloader is locked and others say it isn't. Serio explained everything else lol. TWRP is great. XDA doesn't permit saying things are better than another but I use TWRP and I haven't had any issues with 2.6.

[Q] T-Mobile Modem Question

I have a rooted S4 running GPE 5.0.1. Since updating about 2 weeks ago it seems my signal strength isn't as strong as it was with my old ROM (CarbonRom 4.4.4) and I'm experiencing complete signal dropouts from time to time.
This got me thinking about my modem. Does it need to be updated? WiFi is working fine. My last official OTA was from T-Mobile about a year ago when they took the phone to 4.2.2. My baseband is M919UVUAMDL and poking around various XDA sees forum threads discussing "NK2" and "NK4" modems. Tmo's website lists M919UVUFNK2 as the latest baseband so my modem is out of date? I looked for a Tmo version of the just "NK2" modem and didn't find anything that wasn't a full ROM install. Just want to update my modem and keep Lollipop 5.0.X Is there a modem update I should flash?
Any thoughts and help would be appreciated.

At the moment I have not seen a flashable zip for nk2, Im on official cm12 android 5.0.2 and just updated my modem, here is what I did, I download the full firmware , extracted it with winrar, and used Odin 3.0.7 to flash the modem.bin and non-hlos.bin
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Free mobile app

Correct me if something has changed; but doesn't flashing an up to date non-hlos still randomly cause complete signal drop on devices that are not running the updated bootloader that came with 4.4?
Or rather; at least until securestorage is disabled in build.prop
Also, you will most likely have to flash them 2x with odin.
First time uncheck the auto restart box, and manually power cycle back into download mode.
Second time leave the auto restart checked.

So perhaps it would be better to odin the lastest official t-mobile ROM back onto the phone to update all the internals and the bootloader etc, then root again and re-install my preferred custom ROM of choice?

You should only flash NON-HLOS is you have the same bootloader as the NON-HLOS you are flashing

I flashes the non-hlos.bin on a different bootloader with no issues at all, that's the only reason why I suggested it

Why does it matter which version of Odin we have to use? Specifically, why Odin 3.07?
Additionally, if modem.bin refers to the modem for the Samsung Galaxy S4 then what does non-hlos.bin refer to?

Well, I say use v3.0.7 because that is the version that worked for me, your results may vary, also some say that the non-hlos.bin refers to a separate modem for lte only, others say it refers to the WiFi driver, now, you don't have to flash it of you feel it has no benefit to you, I only did because this phone is the first one I've used that has the non-hlos.bin,, so I flashed it.

Since it is possible to flash the modem (via modem.bin) as well as flashing the lte modem/or WiFi driver (via non-hlos.bin) - then is it also possible to flash the bootloader itself on the Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919) if it is running Android 4.4.4 (M919UVUFNK2)? If so, how would someone accomplish doing this?

I'm pretty sure I can make a flashable zip for you, but in all honesty, I wouldn't recommend doing that, to reduce the risk of a brick and to keep money in your pocket, I would do a full backup and flash the latest stock update to update the bootloader

Let me ask this: if it's possible to make a flashable zip to flash the bootloader to a higher version (like the bootloader from Android 4.4.4-M919UVUFNK2) then is it also possible to make a flashable zip to flash the bootloader to a lower version (like the bootloader from Android 4.2.2.-M919UVUAMDL)?

I believe I'm in the same boat. I tried out AICP ROM 5.0.2 and my signal dropped out most of the entire time and I could rarely send or receive calls/texts when it showed that I had signal. I now have restored my backup of AICP 4.4.4 and so far it seems to be working correctly. But a flashable zip would be highly appreciated if someone could do it. I would try myself but internet is extremely slow and I'm afraid I would make a mistake and brick phones other than mine.

As I remember it from my GS3 days, once a Knox bootloader is implemented (I.e 4.3+) you can not downgrade to a non Knox bootloader (I.e 4.2-)
