Canadian Jelly Bean Updated - Root!

Hi all,
I managed to root the Jelly Bean update by using the same method and files as the ICS stock root.
What I did:
I flashed the new JB update via Odin (not through kies or OTA).
Flashed recovery via Odin
Rebooted and copied Superuser.zip to my phone
Rebooted into recovery and installed the zip.
Everything seems to be functioning normally and the root works.
DISCLAIMER: just because this worked for me doesn't mean you won't brick your phone doing the same. If you brick your phone it is your own fault NOT mine.

I can confirm that this worked for me as well. :good:

So if I get this right...
Flash JB 4.1 through Odin...
Flash ATTGS3CWM6.0.1.2.tar through Odin
Reboot in recovery and install SuperUser.zip
Reboot and voila?

Just waiting for the update to finish...

If you are already rooted in ICS, just download Voodoo OTA Root Keeper and backup root, then temporarily unroot. Execute the OTA, restore root using Voodoo, ????, profit!

I flashed via ODIN, then flashed CF-Auto Root, worked perfectly

The OTA will put this stock recovery back, but the method here should maintain root. Just re-install TWRP.

My reply before assumed you were asking for the rooting files to flash. The firmware is available here

so i flashed via ODIN and I'm stuck on the samsung screen at boot. I am coming from CM10. I flashed the file from samsung-updates and used the PDA button to do it. It all looked good while flashing but it rebooted and got stuck on the samsung logo. I didn't start ODIN in admin mode. could that have been the cause? any thoughts? am I screwed?
also when i plug it into the computer it says hardware id missing in windows
new: I have access to download mode. Trying again while running as admin. if this doesn't work I'll try a reboot of the pc and try again and then I'm screwed as to what to do next?
all fixed!
i booted into stock recovery using vol up +home+power and wiped data and cache and rebooted and it's working. now to flash cf auto root

I downloaded the firmware from here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
I don't necessarily think it will make a difference if you install the JB update via Odin. It's just what I did. You'll definitely need to use Odin to install cwm recovery though.

For future reference, i've found that if you ever re flash and get stuck on the flashing Samsung logo, it's because you didn't wipe you Dalvik and cache BEFORE you flashed. I've had this problem many times and finally figured that out. Alternatively you can install clockwork mod via Odin then reboot into recovery and wipe your caches/factory reset to fix it.

All I did was flash stock recovery then install JB via Kies, still rooted.

Not sure that's even needed. The plain superuser has its own ota survival and temp unroot built in and it kept my root through a ota update to 4.0.4.

Help for a somewhat new person.

I am new with rooting my phone. I have used Rooted phones before, I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258633 Motochopper how to. I ran into a problem. I click the superuser app that was installed onto my phone, and it tells me that "The Superuser binary (su) must be updated. Please choose an installation method. Recovery mode installation is recommended for HTC devices." I click install and it tells me there was an error. I would like to root my phone along with potentially installing CWM so that I can easily install Cyanogenmod when they release a stable verison for the S4. Also would love to install titanium backup along with some Adfree apps.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

OK, so it looks like you already have it rooted.
When super SU asks that question, dont install via CWM, tell it to just install normally.
Once you have SuperSU working, Download Rom Manager from the play store and install CWM Recovery right from within the ROM Manager app.
It will give you the option to pick between two types of CWM(ClockWorkMod). The Touch version, like its name gives you the ability to use the touch screen and not only the volume up/down + Power button.

Telling it to install normally causes it to just tell me there was an error, it also tells me it is out of date as well. Titanium Backup tells me that it cant get root access and I was never asked about it.

OK, so your phone is not rooted then.
Your going to have to try rooting it again or flashing an already rooted rom with Odin.

I just tried it again, this time it said failure after the install of the superuser.apk. I just read that one of the later updates by samsung can make it harder to root. I just got my phone and i was fully updated. What Roms, are already rooted for the S4. I am actually enjoying some of the default apps that came with the phone.

Wicked (and most ROMs that don't include the [STOCK] tag) are pre-rooted...but you'll need to ODIN a custom recovery first then flash the ROM.
If you want to stay on rooted stock, follow the steps in the "root May 7 MDL" thread to ODIN a rooted kernel, and you'll be good to go.
(You don't need root access to get a custom recovery flashed)
Basically, any of your options are pretty straightforward, but they're going to involve Odin-ing stuff.

So there isn't really a way to just root my phone without installing a custom rom?

There was before the second update, with the second update rooting got just a little bit more steps

Are you still on the MDB firmware or have you done any over the air updates? Specifically the May 7 update which is MDL. Motochopper is specifically for then older firmware (MDB) and it won't work if you are already on the updated. MDL firmware. In which case you would have to follow these instructions to acquire root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41162041
I usually use a market app called root checker to quickly check if I do have root.
And yes you can be rooted on stock.

Root checker says no root. I believe it does have that over the air update installed. T Mobile updated it when they gave me the phone, because they thought I didn't really know anything about phones. I assume this means I have to follow another method to root my phone?

If you have the MDL update you have to root using the steps listed here:

This is going to sound like a dumb question but from reading all of that I need to use ODIN to install the ROOT_M919?UVUAMDL onto the phone? that should root the phone and allow me to install ROM Manager and install CWM from there right?
Also would doing this delete everything I have on my phone right now?

No, you use Odin to install one of the recoveries. You use the recovery to install the zip ROOT_M919?UVUAMD. Personally I didn't use that file. I installed the kernel in recovery and SuperSU in recovery. And no, it won't delete things on your phone.

Thank you so much, I am about to go and do this. I will use the kernel you suggested since that looks like a better option, after flashing the kernal should i reboot and just use it normally for a bit and then go to recovery and flash SuperSU?
EDIT: The steps on the thread for ODIN are for installing a rooted ROM, I am assuming its still the same steps for installing a recovery instead of a rooted ROM

Okay I didn't get any error using ODIN, however when I try and boot into CWM using Volume Up + Power it just goes to android recovery. Which doesn't have any of the options I need. Am I just booting up the wrong way, or did I do something wrong. I tried both the touch version and the non-touch version

2 options. uncheck auto reboot in Odin. When Odin is done, unplug your phone, pull your battery, then boot into recovery. Or .. when Odin is done and it reboots your phone, keep holding volume up to get to recovery.

[Q] Device saying it is rooted but cannot flash ROM's

I rooted my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 & when I go to recovery mode to try to install a ROM from SD there is no option to do so on the external or internal yet my phone says it is rooted.
I have rooted & installed custom ROM's on other android phones with no issues but this phone seems to not be as easy to root and install a custom rom :/
anybody ever heard of this ?

did you flash a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP?

I tried freeGee but the app wont load properly to use it. I have downloaded the madmack's updated TWRP and the modem to go with it but Idk how to install the zip on it without the custom recovery.

The only way to install a custom recovery on the e980 is by installing FreeGee, our boot loader is locked and the only way to bypass that is by installing FreeGee after you are rooted. You need to return back to stock using LG flashtools and start over again, once you are done with the restore, then you root and finally FreeGee, and you should be able to flash anything you like.
Hope it helps.

Once Samsung updates our OS to Marshmallow or they get CM 13 working on our phones (currently a work in progress) this could allow us to use Android Pay on a rooted phone.

That is the key question. Also, would Google detect the phone as being rooted.
For the Knox part, someone with a "virgin" phone would need to test. Both Joe and I have already rooted using the current method, so Knox is already tripped.

That is the key question. Also, would Google detect the phone as being rooted.

Thank you for posting this, now we have a method of rooting that A: Does not require custom kernels #Marshmallow and B: May not trip Knox

Has anyone tried rooting with this method and trying samsumg pay?

Decided to give this a try. Odin flashed OL1. Booted OL1 with no problem. Odin flashed TWRP, without reboot. Rebooted directly into TWRP and flashed SU beta 2.65. It booted without problem with root access. When I go into SU, it says there is an update available, but I just cancel out.
I was hoping android pay would work as I could never get it to work except stock unrooted. I started android pay and got the message "android pay cannot be used." I realized I needed to unroot in SU. I did that and still get the same message.
EDIT: Tried it again. Odined OL1, rebooted and android pay worked fine. Odined TWRP, booted into TWRP, fine. Rebooted into rom, bootlooped at Samsung logo, over and over. Rebooted into recovery and flashed SU 2.65. Rebooted into rom with no problem. Android Pay no longer works.

For those asking about whether this root method trips knox or not. Yes this will trip knox. Anytime you use odin to flash non official Samsung firmware/software then it forever trips knox. Therefore flashing any custom recovery will absolutely trip knox... forever.
Samsung and Android pay apps will not work on rooted devices. Period. The pay apps are intended for official factory software for obvious reasons. Security is the main focus with these types of apps that deal with your personal banking/credit card information. Hence a rooted device is not considered "secure".

using this method and my S6 is rooted without custom kernel which i prefer.
however, it seems like i cant use titanium backup to restore any backed up apps. Titanium app just runs endlessly.

thank you. ill give it a try. :good:

This may be a weird question, but we don't have a stock kernel to flash. Would there be a way to make a zip of a stock kernel and then use this to get root? I'd like to have a custom ROM but with the stability of a stock Kernel. This is the first phone I can think of that I've owned that didn't have a stock kernel with root.
