[GT-i9500] CWM 6.0.3.1 RECOVERY & ROOT (Big Update on NEW VERSION! )

update 3-5-2013: the developer Cofface himself is now in XDA and posted a new verison of recovery HERE!
* All credit goes to Chinese developer Cofface *
GOOD NEWS!
This should be the easiest way to root the i9500 (yes, the so called 8-core one) by now.
Tested on FW I9500ZCUAMDG and should be working on others.
Recovery Feature:
1. Based on CWM 6.0.3.1 (Thanks CM Team!)
2. ROOT your phone
Just download the recovery and unzip it, flash the cofface_I9500_cwm_recovery_en_new.tar as PDA in Odin.
Then turn off the phone and enter recovery by pressing Vol Up+Home+Power keys, and select ROOT YOUR PHONE, reboot, DONE.
Download: Hotfile Dropbox
update: Some Russian FW users reported this will not work, i've inform the developer Cofface and will update later if he fixed this. And here is a way to root Russian FW.
update2: I've talked to Cofface and he is on vacation now but if you need further helps, feel free to contact with him via Gtalk: [email protected]
update3: Here is a video tutorial by ashwin123, thanks!

So are you able to get titanium backup to work now? This root is full root right? No catch anywhere?

Hi !!!
Good news...
But i tried, and it doesn't work.
After reboot, i see that SuperSU is installed, but it is not working. Impossible to update the binaries, and no "root applications" working.
Was a good try

You, good sir, probably did something wrong. Mine's working just fine with Titanium Backup Pro, rooted.

About mine, i pushed CWM with odin, then did a reboot, clicked the "root" option, and did a reboot.That's it
BUT, my i9500 has the russian firmware, wich is : Russia - 2013 April - 4.2.2 - I9500XXUAMDK - I9500SERAMDK
It may be the "problem"..!?

Yeah just did the process..... Unable to get my root apps to work... i have a feeling it has to do with the firmware. Mine is also the russian fw.... Gotta flash the chinese one and then see..

Perhaps? Perhaps give it another shot using Odin which is in the ZIP, be USB debugged, and set not as a camera?

Thanks Gseeker... I'm in China, and bought mine here too, but i flashed the russian firmware to get the european languages (the chinese firmware has got only chinese, english, and corean languages).
And unfortunately, i didn't get your CWM method working on it...

Baseband Version: I9500UBUAMDE
Build Number: JDQ39.I9500UBUAMDE
Mine worked.
Bought it from in the Bahamas, uploading the system dump (non-root) as we speak.

How did you manage to get the update? And do you think you would be able to post the marshmallow update when it's released?

I love it. I hope you will create full odin for Android 6.x of N920A. Unable to update over US with AT&T

Acquisition of the software is definitely a great thing. My only question is this.... In past Samsung phones, flashing with Odin trips an "e-fuse" which forever forces a modified state on the device. For those of us that need the warranty or use the device under the AT&T Next plan, will flashing this void the warranty?

N920AUCU2APB2
That is the build number. It is the same as Verizon's note 5 MM update.
I do not have the ATT note 5 to test this on so when the file is uploaded I will need someone to confirm for me. Thanks!

That's confusing,how can it have a mm build # and be 5.1.1 ?

have a look.

the MM beta is N920AUCU2BPB2, this is N920AUCU2APB2. coincidentally, N920AUCU2APB2 is the version all these various root methods are based on.
so, is this maybe an unreleased update from ATT? I can't really see any differences, and the phone works fine. I'm almost tempted to try one of those root files, but frankly I'm a little tired of wiping my phone when it gets buggy like chimera did to it.

That's the purpose and the fun of testing

I've tested those root files posted here in 5.1.1. None of them work. I flashed back the stock boot image and my N920A is still working fine. But I don't want to flash this MM Odin files because I don't want to loose everything that I have downladed. I know I can backup first, and I already did, but I prefer to wait for the official MM upgrade from AT&T.

We're are now just waiting for Wanam to Patch an Xposed module for Samsung Devices that run marshmallow, it seems that the Note 4 for some reason isn't using the same method as the others and will only put us in a boot loop.

All you have to do is install latest twrp which is the sprint 3.0 and install the latest SuperSU which is the 2.68 which is made especially for the MM. There isn't a kernel yet bit that's being worked on. Here's where you can do it at:

I think its because of the OTA Marshmallow update is Odex'd though I'm not 100% sure about that. Anyways within a week Wanam should have a fix out. (Hopefully) Though the only thing thats stopping him at this point is that he needs Logcats to find out why its bootlooping.

you guys are nuts. i thought xposed is only fully functional on a deoxed rom? stock is not deoxed. even if it gets working. it wont fully work unless you deoxed the rom your self. or a dev releases a deoxed version.

Nope, works on odexed lollipop rom just fine. Wanam recently posted a test build for Sprint Marshmallow. Not on marshmallow myself, so I can't test it.

I can still help you.
But I want to ask you are you only rooting this device or you want to install custom ROM after rooting??
If you want only the root then I cannot help you with out unlocking boot loader but
If you want to install custom ROMs then I have solution for installing without rooting your device.
