Hi,

If you intend to stay official, then you will not trip any Knox flags.

You are also in the enviable position of being Knox free.

If you stay custom, you can flash whatever you like, as soon as it's available.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taniokoba:
Galaxy S4 running AOSP 4.3 ROM, rooted, will not power on after reset.

Last known installed software: Triangle Away - given root access, but not used to reset flash counter.

Phone's current status: switched off, able to charge via wall outlet (LED flashes red when charging, green when full charge). Holding power button makes the phone vibrate, but not turn on. Attempting to enter either download or recovery mode only makes phone vibrate, unable to enter both modes. Battery pull does nothing. Plugging phone via USB to computer yields no results (no prompts even for QHS USB).

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Literally nothing but restarted the phone; it was running in a perfectly functioning state for at least 2 weeks before I restarted it. Last major change I remember doing to it is installing Triangle Away and granting it root access.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kesgreen:
Thanks for the reply.

So, if my interpretation is correct, you would advise me to install a custom ROM instead of an official one so that I can avoid having to deal with Knox? Are there any disadvantages of doing that?

I have been trying to educate myself, but there are so many different guides - it gets confusing! I'm just wary about doing anything which cannot be undone, especially since the phone works fine at the moment.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
As I interpreted yes! If you go to a custom ROM you will not update the Bootloader, and so you won't have KNOX. The disadvantage is clearly triggering the Flash Counter (because of root), but this you can reset easily...

When it comes to learning by yourself I recommend giving a look in the FAQ, there are plenty guides available there, and I believe they are all accurate and good! Because a FAQ writer most of times has already a good experience ;).

Hope this helps,

re: recovery mode

Before you can solve any other of your issues your phone needs to get into recovery mode.

So, you need to download and odin flash either the CWM or TWRP custom

recovery for your particular phone's model #.

Forget about all the other stuff until you find, download and flash the TAR

version so you can flash the recovery using ODIN in download mode.

If your phone is a i9505 then you need to get the twrp or cwm custom recovery TAR file for that model.

Good luck!

Doing a factory reset in TWRP or CWM custom recoveries will NOT loose ROOT.

Mobile Data not working

Hey guys

i updated to 4.3 o nthe weekend and since then my mobile data isnt working. im running everything stock, vodacom here in South Africa. i spoke to a call centre agent and tried the proxy address cos i think its a registering problem. i couldnt even make calls. then i could, then mobile dat works for like 10 seconds then back to nothing. on wifi everything works perfectly.now calls dont go through, it even said once im not registerd on the network. can somebody help?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mussels84:
i cant advise you to which one, but you may need to flash a different modem for your region. you flash them via ODIN on a PC by powering off the phone, removing and re insterting battery, and using key combination to enter download mode. (i think its home, power and volume down)

once there flash whatever modem your phone requires in your country - whatever modem came with your 4.3 rom must be incompatible.

(if the ROM you flashed did NOT include a modem, then your old modem firmware has remained but is incompatible. in this case you may need to update to a newer modem rather than downgrade - again i cant help you as i dont know what modems you need for your country)

Hopefully a quick question.....

Hey Guys,

Right so here's my setup:

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505

Android Version: 4.2.2 Stock ROM

Build Number: JDQ39.I9505 XXUDMGG

SELinux Status: Enforcing

Rooted: Yes

Secure Boot Status: Samsung

Knox Counter: 0x1 after rooting.

Very simple question that has probably asked a million times, however I keep reading conflicting threads.... I know knox is irreversible and voids warranty etc etc, and that the boot loader on MGG firmware is locked, However my question is can i still flash a custom ROM without a custom recovery? and I imagine that I cant flash a custom recovery with a locked bootloader?

I really want to flash Cynogen Mod ROM but is this actually possible?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

I am wondering where you read that the MGG firmware means a locked bootloader.

The only thing a 0x1 void knox means is that you cannot use knox software.

As far as I know,you can still install a custom recovery with odin,and enjoy any ROM you like.

Some issue

Hy. I am a new Galaxy S4 owner and I have some issue and I hope somebody will help me to solve them.

1. There are some games what not supported for GT-I9505 in Google Play Store. Like Dark Knight Rises, Fifa 12 or Amazing Spider-Man. How could it be possible? As I know the Samsung Galaxy S4 is the strongest and greatest phone of Android devices. So why these games do not supported? I tried to install and run but the game crashed.

2. I started to use Samsung Link. I like it, it is an easier way to share or watch movies, pictures or listening to music. But can I change on of the hosting service? As a Google Drive user it would be easier to me to use it instead of Dropbox. Can I change it?

3. This question is connect to Samsung Link. How can I do it, that Samsung Link share that files I choose and not everything? I mean I just installed the iGo Primo last day and when I opened the Samsung Link, the iGo sounds is on the "Newest content" and thereby I can see anything on my computer. In the settings on my phone I cannot edit the folders but there are only 4 folders. I would like to that things will be shared I chose before. Or to set that the "Newest content" will not be the main page when I launch the app.

Thanks in advance! :)

Hello,

I need a confirm if I understood correctly about rooting my i9505.

There are only 2 methods:

1) CF-autoroot, it disables OTA. Any update must be flashed manually and everytime it will wipe my phone

2) flashing pre-rooted fw: it will keep OTA. Next OTA will disable root, so in order to re-root I need to use again one of the 2 methods (either getting again disabled OTA or flashing a pre-rooted fw, wiping everything).

Did I get it right?

I am fairly sure that it is the kernel that determines what format the sd card can use.

Apps should be backed up by Google,and should re-install upon setting up a new ROM.

To save data,use Titanium Backup(needs root),or Helium.

SGH - I337M Colombian Stock Firmware

So first post... I have a 'Colombian' SGH I337M galaxy S4, I say 'Colombian' because everyone refers to this variant as Canadian, I don't know if it is because they are in Canada or because that is the generic name, anyway, I live in Colombia, my provider TIGO uses SGH I337M S4 variants which has JDQ39.I337MUMUAMG7 preloaded on it. I have been reading on Omega v15 forum the possibility to install that rom on my phone, but everyone with I337M seems to have modem problems and with reception because there is no newer modem to android 4.3.

My question is that they refer to a modem or firmware ( I don't know - noob) called MG1, I suppose they are taking about a specific build but when I look at my build it finish in MG7. Is my modem (and firmware) newer than the one they are talking about?

I ask these because I want to try Omega 15 but I337M user are clearly having problems with their modem and most of them are waiting that their specific providers release newer modems, so if my modem is newer (by any reason; I really doubt about that because I live in Colombia and we usually don’t have the best and newest firmware) maybe I could give it a try and have a different behavior and they may try the modem specific to my region to see if it works for them… but I want to know first if it is newer or older firmware and modem.
