It appears that Samsung has disabled root at the kernel level on new kernels for the 9500 and 9505. It looks like Samsung is going back on developer community support in favor of enterprise security.

I hope they don't do that to us in the states - originally I thought it was because of the Exynos exploits but the 9505 is a Snapdragon 600 device.

What do you think caused by continuous:cyclops:
Can we get on topic please?
This is worrisome stuff - it may not affect those of you with a device right now but if it ends up being enacted across the board, you better hope that you never break it.
This is the first time I've seen this implemented on the kernel level. It is by far the most effective way to prevent root as it keeps you from being able to switch to the root user. Without the ability to do that, all software exploits are worthless. And good luck exploiting the kernel itself.

Do they do this with a firmware upgrade? If so, would avoiding any OTA updates and only flashing Modded ROM's be a way to avoid it?

I would assume yes.. and once youre rooted, you dont gotta worry about OTAs anyways....
OP suggested in another thread that this can be an issue if god forbid you need a replacement device..
I then stated that if we saved the backtostock file for the current firmware, this could possibly be avoided by flashing it through odin on a new device, but if samsung doesnt allow that by some means, were screwed
They're barring root at the kernel level on the i9500/i9505, but the difference with those models is that they have unlocked bootloaders and custom recovery with kernel source. It's possible to just install a custom recovery with ODIN and make a modified kernel (both of which are common practice in rooting anyway). They're just making it so that if you want to obtain root, you have to have physical access to the device to flash through ODIN, which is a lot safer in the long run. All this means is that Sally can't be exploited by running an APK or a malicious file to get root without her consent. (It also means that her "techy" boyfriend will have to understand ODIN to get root from now on,)

The T-Mo S4 has an unlocked bootloader. This is much ado about nothing. Read the last few pages of the thread.
i think we are flipping out over nothing. this is probably just for government phones. I think samsung is smart enough to know the heat they will get if they implement this across the board.
Worse comes to worse, carriers start to implement this, and tmobile doesnt seem interested in doing anything of the sort. the verizon and at&t guys are the ones that should be worried then.
but like i said before. making a mountain out of a molehill
It's for security reasons. You will still be able to install a custom kernel and have root. One minute people complain about an exploit the next they complain about not being secure.. it really isnt a big deal. Well I'm not a dev so I can't really say it's not a big deal but it is what it is and you'll still be able to have root.

Come on now. How tech savvy does one have to be to use ODIN. Honestly, my MyTouch 3G was more difficult to root than this thing with ODIN. Point, click, profit. I'm sure all those "techy" boyfriends will be rooting Sammy phones just as easily as they do now. At some point someone will figure out a one click solution anyway.
I agree 100% though, this really is nothing to worry about. I welcome it honestly. Its a great bump for security. Given the current state of things with the NSA and whatever else trying to siphon data like damn vampires and hack everything in sight like Jason. Though I'd say this is more for businesses, we need all we can get. As it sits, we're about as bad off as Windows 95 would be on today's internet surfing warez sites.

No after reading a few posts the updates will be sent to Samsung and they will have a time frame to release it for the google version.

Since they will have identical hardware, the G.E. rom can be dumped and turned into a custom rom with ease I assume. S4 will have 100% stable TouchWiz and AOSP (so to speak). I'm speculating as I haven't looked too much into this though.

I don't see what the big deal is. You xan get aosp roms on our phones right now. I never used touchwiz before owning this phone, but I do have to admit I like it. I flashed the few aosp roms floating around and immediately missed the features tw offers (remote control, air gestures, etc).
Ive come from all AOSP devices and I have to say it doesn't compliment the hardware on this phone imo.

I see pros and cons with the google s4. While it will be great that the device will be up to date with the latest android, the vanilla android won't be able to make use of all the hardware features the device has to offer. But a big con with google s4 is that it only comes with 16GB internal storage.

The obvious difference will be that everything will function properly.
There is ALWAYS something broke or not quite right with AOSP/CM Ports. Bluetooth, tethering, camera... you name it.
So...its obviously a little different than... "why not just flash CM or AOSP now!?"... Official Google support for the S4 is a HUGE deal.
This means nothing for me. I'm not about to pay for a device that I can do the same thing with my already owned sgs4. Flash an aosp rom. But maybe it's more than that I would assume

Whose to say this device something won't be broken. And it's quite obvious stuff will be broken but that's okay with me for any rom. I know I can expect a fix a lot faster.
For me, it's an overpriced and enlarged Nexus 4.
It lacks all the Samsung features (I know some people don't like that). It only has the vanilla Android on it which will have the same features as the Nexus 4.
Why do I need to pay $649.99 for the phone which has the same features as the one that only cost $299.99 (Nexus 4)? I know S4 is bigger, faster, blah blah blah but it's $350 different.
On the other hand, with AOSP rom available, for sure we will have better 3rd party ROM such as CM, AOKP, etc. I am actually happy to see that.
P.S. I am just sharing my opinion. No offense. =]

The aosp roms I've used have all been very stable for the most part. Just because Google will be releasing it does not mean it'll be completely bug free. I just don't find it exciting if it's not utilizing all the new tech Samsung has added.
No one really knows what's in store, but losing the ir blaster and the other sensors' functionality seems like a step backwards imo. I've owned all the nexus devices and have flashed aosp ROMs on every phone I have owned. It just doesn't excite me on this S4.
I actually like touch wiz this time around (minus the cartoon ui and bloatware).

The good thing about this will be the new customization with all the KK ROM's we do have available once the developers get the KK source from the official release right?, most of them are pretty stock without as many options as my PACman 4.3.1 JB ROM has right now.

Can you uninstall all the utterly useless Samsung apps? Does the OS image weigh any less than 1GB? If not they may have made it run better, but they didn't debloat it.
And I *highly* doubt that Samsung got rid of their own useless apps they spent money developing.
Hopefully Google comes out with a phablet form device. Then I'm done with Samsung. Might go to an LG next. Screw Knox and Samsung.

I have had only a few android devices (kyocera zio, og evo, evo 3d, note 2, and kyocera torque) and samsung has been the easiest to work with. As far as knox is concerned (on note 2) it is nothing to worry about. The first day 4.3 was out we (me and lorjay) already had knox nullified and on day 2 root was working. While the same may not be true with new samsung devices. Point is knox means nothing to xda users/devs since there will always be a way around it.
4.4 on the note 3 looks okay and should be a better upgrade than 4.3 although we will have to wait and see. For myself i like aosp better since i found most of the things i like from samsung in 3rd party apps. Only thing I miss and can't get is a feature from note 3 mods (air command).

By then i'm pretty sure most of us will have upgraded to a new phone but for those who keep their phones for 2+ years it will be nice to not be left out of KK update.

Beefed up security that bricks the phone, devs are having trouble getting past it.
if it ever gets sorted out maybe will see some development.
Pp.
It isn't about security, it's all about Exynos and the fact we have zero source code for it because Samsung won't hand it over for obvious reasons, without that source code it's relatively difficult to build roms. Some devs have done it but with the cost of it being painstakingly time consuming and with the resulting Roms being still buggy and relatively unstable. Which brings me to the assumption that because the s5 had development or other Samsung devices had good development you assumed this one would follow suit however most of Samsungs previous devices were using Qualcomms Snapdragon processors which Qualcomms been known to be good with supplying it's source code.

Another thread for the same sh1t?
Well there's nothing else to discuss except make fun of the reps who are lying to us. No root, no roms, no anything

Who cares how many threads there are in this forum? It's not like there is much to do with this device that XDA can even be helpful with.

Sooo miss my Nexus. Will now only purchase Nexus. Sick of being held hostage by ATT and Sammy. Att mostly. Hate iPhones (iOS) but at least Apple doesn't let carriers take advantage of them or their customers.

I hear you android.gt, it's ridiculous that we have to wait months for Samsung/ATT to deliver a simple update. Not to mention all the bloatware that comes with these ATT phones.

It has nothing to do Samsung. Get that part straight as Samsung has released the MM version to all carriers. It's up to the carriers to release their bloated version.

Wonder if I'm the only one avoiding the side load method because I don't want to lose everything.

I did it, made a smart switch backup, update via side load, restore backup. There was some re doing of a lot of stuff but I'm running MM.
Honestly, in my opinion MM is better in every regards. I miss weather on the lockscreen and the lock screen swipe effects, but those are a small price to pay for the battery life and performance improvements

I actually got so impatient that I did a smartswitch backup on the computer and sideloaded marshmallow then restored from the backup. It couldn't have gone smoother.
What is a side load? Sorry guys. New to this.
