Thanks, but will flashing any of the current KK ROMs give me a Knox bootloader?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinySide:
Roms do not contain bootloaders so no. What ever bootloader you have now is what you'll have after flashing a rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

This is where you need to read the first posts carefully,in order to see what the dev has removed from the ROM.

AOSP ROMS ,like the Slim ROM I am using,will not have knox.

Why my alarms in 9505 do bot worked when the phone is turned off?

All of my last phones with symbian os do this work
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
The simple solution is to not turn off your phone. Any device that is really turned off will stop working.

So your symbian phone wasn't fully turned off when you thought it was otherwise it could never have played an alarm.

Sorry if this makes no sense but what are the MK9, MKF, MKE models people talk about? How do I find out what I'm on? And if a guide says you need earlier than MKF what does that mean?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

This is about your bootloader, if you're running stock then your baseband is the same as your BL, if you already flashed a modem then BL will be different, just install Android System Info to check it.

To say that it is earlier than MKF is that you don't have a Knox bootloader.

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

Please try a factory reset and check if it worked, I don't know much about CyanogenMod, but most of the ROMs when jumping from a version to another (4.2-->4.3) you have to factory reset, if I'm not wrong CM10.1 is 4.2.x whilw CM10.2 is 4.3.x, so that means that you have to factory reset your device.

Hi,

I believe it is after then, please check the FAQ and Modem thread for further reference ;).

Help me to decide

Hi,

I purchased samsung galaxy S4 I9500. The OTA update failed twice after downloading around 95%. In this connection I want to ask few questions/

01. Can I upgrade to 4.4 directly from 4.2.2 without wasting for 4.3?

02. I am planning to root the mobile and to try some custom rom (CM or Pacman). In that case is it necessary to upgrade to 4.3 or 4.2.2 is sufficient? (In my previoius mobile (Micromax MTK6577 chipset) I can try all custom roms upto 4.2.2 with 4.1.0 kernel.

03. Will I lost any features on upgrading to a custom rom like air view, air gesture, smart pause etc.

Thanks for your time and reply.

Problems with 4.3 on GT-I9505 O2 S4

Hello, I have a white Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) from O2 (O2U) and after the 4.3 upgrade, my phone constantly shuts off and goes into a cycle where it shows the screen where the model number is displayed, shuts off and shows the screen again.

Ive got 2 s4's and on the knox one,in recovery/download modes,the text is what Id class as normal size.

But in the other phone,which hasnt got knox,the text is tiny.The 5 odd lines of text in download mode only covers about 10mm,which makes it really difficult to read.

Is this normal?

Also,Ive got O2 branded rom on the knox-less one,and I may want to flash unbranded UK stock,is there a way to spot which one I need to keep it on older bootloader(non knox).

And does it matter which Odin version I use?.

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

The tiny writing is normal.

Look HERE

Scroll down.

Your are looking for XXUBMGA

This is a pre-rooted stock ROM,which is pre-knox.

You will have to install this with a custom recovery.

If you want stock,and no root in order to use odin, you will have to search the net for the same version.

It should not matter which version of odin you use.

If it does not work with one,try another.

noob question for s4 GT-I9505 (unlocked international)

Can I ask So if I want to flash a rom such as "►[AOSP] Official 4.4.2 - S4 Google Edition - v11" ,

I understand I need boot into recovery then Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, Wipe data/factory reset and Wipe System, install Rom zip and reboot..but (is it that simple?) my question is:

do I need to worry about modem or bootloarder? (I am picking up in threads some people talking about right bootloader and modem)?

(I understand I dont need flash any additional kernel as the aforementioned 4.4.2 Google ed ROM v11 is included already.)

Appreciate any advice or point me in right direction. Thanks in advance.

My device:

international S4 unlocked GT-i9505,

Stock ROM samsung Android 4.2.2

device rooted SuperSU already

recovery is ClockworkMod 6.0.4.5. with Philz Touch installed working OK already.

Rom Manager Premium installed already and rom backed up already also with Online Nandroid back up also (correct date).

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

Check for the thread, if there are further instructions you should check. But overall it's only this, do what you said. If you are having signal issues then you have to test new basebands, sometimes they can crash the audio of your device, so pay attention. If it happens, just flash another one to test.

Hope this helps,
