How to flash XXUAMF5 on Galaxy S4 Active

  1. The beginning task needs to happen this particular way: unzip the Odin tool and the XXUAMF5 rooting archive on your notebook with a tool that does that for you. After that is completed, you should be doing the following: launch the Odin on the same notebook and then switch the handset off.
  2. Enter your S4 Active GT-i9295 off. Then boot it into Download Mode by performing these actions: press and hold, at the same time, Volume Down, Home and Power, then wait for the logo of Android pops on the screen. Your device is in the Download Mode now.
  3. Now make sure you keep Odin launched; that’s because you will have to plug the smartphone to the laptop (this requires the USB cable of the Galaxy S4 Active i9295).
  4. After the handset and the PC are well-connected to one another (indicated by either “Added!!” or a yellow – or blue – ID:COM port number), you should tap PDA; but if the devices have not been plugged successfully, you need to use a different USB port or flash USB Drivers on your smartphone until the connection is established.
  5. After you use the PDA to opt for the XXUAMF5, you need to tap on START. Once you are done with that, have patience so that the firmware is flashed on your handset.
