Hi,

1.TA only works on non-knox bootloaders.

There is no ETA for a working version on the new bootloader.

2.See 1

3.Yes.Yes

4.You can only see it in TA

5.The country does not matter for kernel to work.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
Are you sure about the second yes?

I thought that it's not possible to flash a boot image as a zip. That it can only be done using Odin.

Since all custom Rom's are zip's, it wasn't even possible to include the bootloader. But I could be wrong.

Or did you mean that it can change the bootloader (knox) status?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

I was referring to knox status. ;)

The question is not 100% clear.

You are quite right about flashing the boot image as a zip.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
Good to see that we agree on that :highfive:

Also interesting to see 2 people reading the same question and interpreting it differently.

It shows how important it is for users to make it very clear what they are asking. Something not always easy since for a lot of us English isn't our first language.

The reason is this: I'm on Omega 14 ROM, and if I want to use latest modems I need to upgrade to newer bootloader, but I don't want to reinstal ROM...

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
Just make a nandroid of your current setup.

Odin flash a recent stock Rom with new bootloader, Odin flash your custom recovery and restore your backup. and you have your current Rom back with the new bootloader.

After having a 0x1 knox flag for months i haven't followed much on rooting a 0x0 bootloader lately.

I recently got a replacement s4 and it has 0x0 bootloader atm and is on latest BTU 4.3 FW.

I was about to dive in and flash CF auto root and i just thought id first of all ask...

Is there any way at the moment to root the latest 4.3 BTU FW without tripping knox flag?

I read around a bit and seems a bit conflicting.

Hoping someone can confirm before i jump in and flash cf auto root.

Hi,

Interesting to see that your phone came back with 0x0.

So,that can be done by the service center.

In terms of not tripping the flag,there is a degree of success with a ROM from THIS THREAD.

Don't ask me which one.

I read the thread intermittently ,so you would have to figure out which one actually works.

Once knox is tripped.. when you downgrade to non knox bootloader you can never go back to newer firmware with knox.. even flashing in odin.

Did they just repair the phone or give you a new one?. With different serial no. If they accept your phone with a knox 0x1 and replace or repair it without any fee them its good for you..

You dont need to worry about k ox being tripped..:D

Hey Fellas,

My brother's friend just picked up a used Google Edition S4 (i9505G) and uses it on TMobile (usa). Would it be possible to flash a completely stock Tmobile TouchWiz rom on the phone? I know you can do it the other way around, as I have with my i337. But I haven't been able to find any solid information on this. Of course, everything should work for the ROM. It's my brother's friend and I don't want to have to deal with bugs and all that all the time. Got my own phone to flash :)

The phone is stock, locked, not rooted, running MH5.

Also, will this unlock method work?

4 - is there any working kernel for 4.3? Like adam kernel in 4.2.2

5 - if we install custom rom with knox free , so can we come back without ang problem to 4.2.2?

6 - my friends told me that if we have an older rom like 4.2 and then want a custom rom of 4.3 , we should first download stock rom of 4.3 then install custom rom.is it true?why?

7 - i saw custome rom that 4.4 was in the title of that.not only for s4 but also for s3.what is it? 4.4 does not release for s4 yet.so what is this custom rom? Base on 4.4???:rolleyes::rolleyes:

8- is it possible to use wifi direct to transfer files between 9505 and my laptop(dell 5110)? the wifi direct is really fast and i love it

9 - is there any way or application to use my phone by computer?i mean use my mouse and keyboard and lcd of my laptop to control and working with my phone?

Hi,

1.Estimated Time of Arrival

2.I do not think it works on 4.3 ROMS

Link is HERE

3.I think you have to install KIES and this will give you your current status

4.Yes,look HERE

5.If you have 4.2.2 then you can install custom 4.3 without the knox bootloader.

You are then able to return to 4.2.2

Once you have new knox bootloader,it is not possible to return to 4.2.2

Custom ROM/kernel/recovery will trip the knox flag.

This means that you can no longer use knox.

There is still an on-going debate as to whether invalidates your phone warranty.

I think it depends on what part of the world you are from.

6.What do you have on your phone...4.2.2 or 4.3

What bootloader do you have.

Check in Download Mode.

If there is anything about knox?

7.There are a few alpha 4.4 ROMS for the S4

8.I do not know about this

9.Bluetooth apps can do this.

Check Google Pay.

10.No idea,sorry

This is a possible way to get a pre-rooted ROM , without tripping the knox flag.

It is not a 100% working solution.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

1.That is the name of the kernel that was installed with your current ROM.

Check the first post of the ROM you are using for a description of that kernel.

2."Alpha" means a very early development of the ROM.

I.E. there are still many issues and problems.

3.You already have 4.3, so I am not sure what you are asking.

Hi,

I used to have my i9500 running on rooted 4.2.2 with Perseus. I upgraded through kies and now I'm on 4.3 but knox not working. I don't know why but the phone has become really bad. It lags like hell, apps keep force closing and some times the phone doesn't ring at volume when someone calls(It's not on silent too)...

I'm probably gonna install a custom ROM now, probably phoenix since it's knox free, but I need a way to backup my contacts, and email accounts since it's a pain to resign in all of my emails. If I install perseus somehow will I be able to recover the data through kies?

Also how do I root 4.3 because then I may be able to install titanium backup. Does CWM work on 4.3???

I have just flashed my first android device, a S4 using the Google Edition Galaxy S4 for i9505 Rom.

For the OTA update I was reading something about relocking the bootloader, and reflashing the stock recovery mode in order to be able to do this. Could anyone flesh out what the steps are here for me, or provide links to the bits and bobs that I need are?

Signal issues after upgrading to 4.3

Hey, great thread btw.

Ever since I've upgraded my I9505 to a 4.3 custom rom (FoxHound and now Echo rom) I've been having issues with signals. I've pretty much flashed every modem on Djembey's modem collection including the latest MJ modems and the one I've used when I was on 4.2. Signals fine when I'm at home, but as soon as I go outside, on a train, or in a crowded space I lose signal or signal has 1 bar. Everywhere where signal was fine on 4.2 is bad with 4.3... my knox is 0x1 if that's the problem. Could it be a problem with 4.3 roms? Is anyone in Australia on the same boat?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mussels84:
aussie here as well and not having that problem.

started on optus branded 4.2.2 and upgraded to echoe.

just checking, but are you sure the modem flashes worked? a lot of people rebooted into download mode (you MUST power off completely and boot up via the key presses) for it to actually work.

the other thing i'd like to know is if you're 3G or 4G - some people have mentioned that 4G doesnt work so well if you're mixing old bootloaders with the 4.3 roms, i cant recall if there was a specific 4G modem to flash to fix it, or if it was advised to just upgrade to official 4.3 and re-root/go custom again.
