CF-Auto-Root for the new SGS4 I9505 firmares (GG, H8, ...)
The new firmwares that came out today have
SELinux enabled and set to restrictive. This generally made
SuperSU sad.
Other nasty side effects of these ROMs include a new bootloader, a new warranty status inside said bootloader, the apparent impossibility to downgrade after having flashed the wretched bootloader, and a bad taste about Samsung in general.
I guess this all
KNOX related or whatever, seeing as it was much hyped in today's unveilings and the ROMs were also released today.
It took all day but it seems like I have
SuperSU (now v1.60) running properly(?) again, and I've made a new
CF-Auto-Root package for it. Undoubtedly, after I get back all your reports about how it doesn't work at all or even a little, I will update the other
CF-Auto-Root's, the flashable ZIP, and the
Play Store sometime tomorrow. But not tonight - tonight I am le tired.
While this version should now be compatible with all sorts of
Enforcing SELinux shams and other false-sense-of-security-inducing hypeware, it doesn't actually disable any system components. As such, every time you use root, you'll get a nice popup about how your system has been compromised by the nastiest of all attackers (namely, you). To get rid of this annoyance,
adb shell or
Terminal Emulator this command (after running
su , of course):
pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid
That's about it. Oh yeah - don't run
Triangle Away or
Mobile ODIN on these firmwares until I've updated them, or your phone will explode. Enjoy!
