[Q] Need Help - loosing root - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hi guys
Been a while since I've been on the forum.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 - Tmobile and tripped the knox protection.
The issue I'm having is that I keep on loosing root after reboot.
This is the specs of the phone as is:
Model - GT - I9505G
Android 4.4.2
Baseband - M919UVUEMK2
Kernel [email protected] #1
Build KOT49H.08.19.2014
My phone is acting funny (loosing signal, no satelite connection on gps) so I need to root again and install a new rom and kernel. maybe update the modem.
I'm using windows 8.
Please advice where to take it on the next step.
Thank you

Update to the NH7 bootloader. Or at least reflash the stock MK2 firmware and root with CF auto root

You have a i9505G......You need firmware for that device. Not M919........
And what do you mean "loose root"? What method did you root with? I hope it was for the i9505G......

When I checked my phone now, looks like I have M919 Galaxy S4
Not sure, than maybe I've installed the wrong firmware?
Loosing root, meaning that I root the phone, than when I check it after a while is not rooted anymore.
I'll fallow this instructions and maybe that will fix it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/help/nb4-to-nh7-firmware-upgrade-via-odin-t2880284

What you need to do is MAKE SURE you have the M919.
If indeed you do follow the guide from that you posted.
MAKE SURE CF-Auto Root is for the M919.......

Cool. Will do so.
If the firmware showed different on the phone the hardware label model, does it mean that i've installed the wrong one in the past?
Thanks!

What is your model number? See mine?

I was thinking to go with the other one ))
I fallowed the guide there and installed M919UVUFNH7_M919TMBFNH7_M919UVUFNH7_HOME.tar.md5
Now on start, was thinking to let the phone sit a little bit, but I am getting " Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped" multiple times. Like a lot of times and I keep on hitting ok.
Any idea why? Is that ok?
Should I just move on np?

It worked for me too. BUT BE WARNED, CHOOSE THE RIGHT FILE OR YOU'RE PHONE WILL BRICK.
For example, if you're phone is At&t i747 then choose that file, but if you're phone is I747M Canadian (My model) then choose that file.

My Tab S is currently rooted and running on the UK version of the Samsung Firmware 4.4.2. Is it possible to flash/install Samsung Firmware from a different country, one that now has 5.0.2, without the Tab S experiencing any adverse effects?

Thank you for the quick response. I'm quite new to this rooting/flashing process and was wondering what are the differences between the Samsung Tab S Firmwares? I was thinking if it was possible to flash/install the Canadian 5.0.2 firmware via Odin but wasn't sure what to expect in terms of what my Tab S behaves and looks like now. Does it matter that my Tab S is rooted?
Thanks.

I also flashed a TWRP Custom Recovery.
You don't need to use cfauto root as well as twrp. Twrp is capable of rooting any device on its own. Just Install twrp, boot into twrp then select reboot. You will then be prompted to root.

Software Update

anyone else get the prompt to update the software? are you going to update?
Got it and did it 2 days ago
Same and same
probably too early to know, does anyone know if this update will affect root? coming from htc, i remember updates were frowned upon as they can make rooting more difficult.

There's a search function for a reason and the devs on here don't have time to just hold your hand and walk you through everything you have to be willing to help yourself and learn how to do things on your own and then if you have a problem or run into trouble then ask for assistance but don't ask to have your hand held through it all.. Learn about what Odin is and stock roms And a few other things in order to accomplish a downgrade..

Here you go.. Make sure you substitute the Verizon firmware for the AT&T firmware as @TechNyne66 said, the OGG firmware.. As long as it's firmware from AT&T you should be good to go.. However if it still errors out and doesn't work that means they (AT&T) have blocked it and you'll have to enter into recovery and select full system restore in order to fix it and get it back to where it is right now.. I'd first make a backup if I were you!!

If you are past the the PH4 update this is not the thread for you.
If you are still on PH4, stop trying to downgrade your bootloader, unless you are flashing a Binary 3 bootloader.
All of this has been explained within this forum. Check my profile and go to my posts. I've already wrote it all up two or three times...

I'd suggest keeping twrp. Make a full device backup with it to sdcard. It's your safety net should anything ever go wrong. You'll be glad you did one day.
