Sorry, but actually my question was not clear. I wanted to know if I root my original Orange stock ROM with your method not if I flash our pre-rooted ROM. I ask you this because if I have to send back the phone for repair it would be good to have the original CSC. So, in this case how to proceed? Just to be clear: I have rooted my original Orange stock ROM with your method with blocking knox (counter flash 1). How can I have now the original Orange stock ROM with original CSC and counter flash to 0 in my case?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
My ROMs are NO-Wipe but if you have any issues then you will have to wipe it all up.

It is CSC and APN related. Are you using LTE or you just want to see it in options?

Reset your APN first, if still nothing, reset your CSC. Read post #1

First, use Triangle Away to reset your Binary counter. After that, go to www.sammobile.com and find your Stock ROM. Flash it with Odin and you're done.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasb29:
I flashed the Slim Version, but i won´t get official Status. Wich file do i need to change the CSC to Germany DBT??
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
It will change back to Official after you set new CSC and perform FACTORY DATA RESET.

Use the separate CSC package OXAAMDM (DBT included) and flash it with Odin as CSC,

read post #1 for more details

Hi,

On my previous phone (Sensation), we used to get ROMS in zip form and flash them through recovery.

These zips could be opened and files extracted for modification.

Also what recovery do you use/ recommend?

:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Hey , got ya ;)

Every other Custom ROM will be a ZIP file but not those ones.. My ROM's are OFFICIAL and can't be extracted just like that. You need to use LINUX and ext4_utils to convert system.img.ext4 and then mount it as partition...

I don't use any CUSTOM RECOVERY, no need for it, but if you want to modify the DEODEXED ROM , use CWM recovery and feel free to do whatever you want ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasb29:
No didnt work. CSC is still BTU
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
READ POST #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After you flash, you need to use app from Play STore called CSC Changer and set it up......

Also, you MUST REBOOT your phone into STOCK recovery for the places to take place

READ POST #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasb29:
I have done this. But in CSC Changer there is no DBT to chosse.....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
What is your CSC when you dial *#1234#?????????? OXAAMDM??? If not, it's mean that you didn't flash it properly...

Flash it again as CSC...

ps. use this CSC http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22964708692721783
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasb29:
Yes this is my CSC but it tells me that my device was modified... ????:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Because you have flashed it.... Set your CSC to DBT and perform Factory Data Reset, it will go back to Official.

Kies won't update it because you have changed CSC.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasb29:
Can´t choose DBT anywhere.... So how should i set CSC to DBT???
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
From the flipping list!

Why are you so bothered by CSC?????????????????

Leave it as it is.............
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasb29:
Now DBT was set. But OTA and KIES says my device is modified. So i wont get updates on any way.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
You need to search before doing anything.

Yes, KIES and OTA won't work because you have changed the CSC to non-matching one.

There is NO ME2 firmware for DBT... yet
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasb29:
OK so but why is my systemstatus not official??
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
I don't know. It's your phone. ;)

Reboot into recovery and wipe data&cache.....

Hey djembey, it's me again :P.

Some questions: your super slim version only means, that you removed more apps and stuff from system?

I flashed the slim version of me2 when you made it, so now I just need to flash the stockkernel you posted and then i am on the same level as new superslim?

And I hope there is no fullwipe needed after kernel flashing?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
You are welcome, it's my pleasure ;)

thanks and enjoy!

cheers

Yes, that's exactly what happened, so just flash the new kernel and you're ready to go, no wipe needed ;)

BTW, your Device Status can magically change to CUSTOM after flashing OFFICIAL Kernel.. but people has reported that the special option "System workaround.." in Triangle Away reset it back to Official.. ;)

enjoy
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] xPr0metheus:
Yeah I read about this triangle stuff, will definetly try it =)

So, for now: Have a nice weekend and enjoy football, cause I know you like it so much :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] starbucks2010:
Hi,

I just flashed the new ME2 kernel and all went fine. Thank you for your support Djembey.

Have a nice weekend.

root+offical... another attempt

was also despaired to get root with "official" status... same symptoms as above: Original Rom was "official", slim "custom", no matter what I did (factory reset, kernel and recovery change etc.).

Finally this post, was the solution for me and did the trick: :cyclops:

Hey guys, could do wqith some help please.

Have got STOCK BTU S4 I9505 as new from shop. Just flashed the SLIM deodexed straight over via ODIN. Did a Hard Reset etc.... In settings/status it still says CUSTOM. Did not do anything that I shouldn't have.

In Download mode it says Official still. If I download the stock BTU, will it go back to Official?

EDIT: - Used special option in Triangle Away and both system settings and download mode says OFFICIAL...PHEW lol

Hello everyone,

I've used a fex day this wonderful rooted rom. Big Thanks for that.

But I have one slight question/remark : I can't seem to see the stock wallpapers when clicking on home screen.

I've reinstalled the stock rom and there they were again.

Reinstalled rooted rom, but still gone...any suggestions or is this normal?

Cheers,

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Use the Deodexed SS ROM and don't worry about your CSC...

Are you on LTE plan? Sometimes you need to reset APN or CSC to make it work... but you will see after installation... ;)

Hehe, it's in "Removed Apps", separate package, post #1.... ;)

I want to flash slim version. Can i backup apps data from apps on Omega ROM ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] weasle1uk:
Im running Super Slim and wallcharger works as should (faster then usb).

As for backup take a look at Go backup or back up folder /data/data.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kafej666:
Ye i know how to do that (using TB in my case) but i want to know, is it safe to backup my apps data from Omega ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] malybru:
Hi,

If you are using TB,it should be safe to back up from one ROM and use it on another.

Do NOT use system data.

:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] weasle1uk:
Should be. Give it a try and let us know :D

Just one thought if I may... I heard that the new ME2 rom came with a camera firmware update which really improved the photos ... mine is still S13F0SAGB39 (just dial *#34971539# and check Phone/Cam Fw version).

Any way to update the rear camera fw ?

Hi

I´ve read a lot of pages backwards before posting:

I´ve read about the csc probs some pages ago when someone wanted to have "dbt" in his csc but he couldn´t get it because in Germany isn´t a MDE2 csc yet.

So I am from germany too.

If I flash this from your #1 post

GT-I9505 Official Stock Packages: Model: GT-I9505 (4.2.2)

PDA: XXUAME2

PHONE: XXUAME2

CSC: OXXAMDB

I won´t get a german CSC (dbt)

But do I need one for getting LTE or can I just go forward and flash that thing.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Well, just flash it and you will see, it should work just fine, I don't have LTE plan so I can't really comment...

There is a CSC-OXAAMDM (DBT included) and can be flashed separately but after that KIES and OTA won't work anymore due to incorrect CSC..

You need to make the decision, just flash it and test it ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] elburo:
So if it won´t work I can easily flash back to official ROM XXUAMDM and everythings gonna be fine (status official, binary counter = 0 ) isn´t it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Yes, if you have any network issues, try to reset APN settings and perform FACTORY DATA RESET before you flash the MDM again... ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] vassalle:

Will i lose any data? and, what's Deodexed SS ROM rom?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:

Hi,

You cannot have "Official" with custom recovery.

You can always flash stock recovery and then return it to official if you have to send the phone back.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:

Is it only me or infinite scroll in nova settings cannot be disabled. At least for the free version..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Hironimo:
In a way your rom is custom too, as there are obviously modifications to support root.

I though that whenever you flash a rom in odin it will increase the custom counter if the rom does not have a correct official samsung signature.

Obviously noone but samsung has the necessary private key to create a valid signature matching the hash of firmware.

How do you avoid the custom rom counter increasing?

Did you manage to trim the firmware to result in the same hash somehow, maybe?

Also, how do you make the system believe it is official?

It would be great how you managed such as ROM?

My understanding is that triangle away will reset the customer counter to 0, but it can't make the status be marked as official, right?

Am I correct that this is the right rom if you want to be as close to official as possible but still have root?

Also, won't this all not matter in the end when it comes to warranty as soon as they see SuperSU being able to give root perimissions (if they bother to check)?

Also I assume if you want to install something really custom rom like cyanogenmod that it's rather recommended to flash a CWM right away (since this ROM won't help any in this case), then flash the rom through it and use triangle-away afterwards?

I assume there is nothing more to be done than this in such a situation?

Thanx in advance!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Odin is a leaked Samsung Flashing Tool and flashing STOCK ROM DOESN'T increase binary counter but flashing Custom Recovery or Kernel will increase it...

I'm using right tools and few tricks to make it Custom and OFFICIAL at the same time. ;)

The Official state is handy if your phone dies completely but you can't just send it to Samsung Service Center as they will see SuperSU or Busybox and your warranty will be gone..

If you need to send it in, flash Stock ROM on top and wipe data/cache from recovery.. That's it...

Using any other Custom ROM requires custom recovery and I'm not sure if you can get Official Status..

You will have to flash custom recovery, then ROM and then Stock Recovery and wipe data/cache.. It may work but not guaranteed.. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Magic_Knight:
If your phone dies how can you flash stock rom ? You are stuck with an "official" but rooted rom so if they want can refuse to repair it

under warranty.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
If your phone dies completely then even Samsung won't be able to check it against root... (theory..)

They can check things in FACTORY MODE (if is still accessible) and there you can see your BINARY and SYSTEM STATUS.. :p

BTW, if it's possible, you must flash STOCK ROM before sending it in!!

I have the same firmware for the camera as mentioned above. I have flashed the stock rom from the Netherlands through Odin. Is there a new firmware for the camera? If yes how do I update the firmware? Could it be possible when I flash the oldest know firmware of the Netherlands and do an OTA update?

EDIT: Just downgraded to MDF firmware for dutch users. Did the OTA of 74MB and my camera firmware didn't change. Maybe the above mentioned firmware is the latest?!

EDIT2: I just made a Thread on "Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" with the question to post there current firmware of the camera. Only users who did the OTA, containing kernel ME2, and never used ODIN.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Hmmm.. it's difficult to say as we haven't got any other FW versions to compare... I'll say that it is the latest one as it based on ME2... ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Duveldg:
Maybe users could look at the firmware who never updated there phone. Then we could see what firmware its on before updating. Downgrading and doing the OTA didn't change so its looking like the above mentioned firmware is the latest one. I also think doing a full rom flash al new components should be in that rom, or does OTA's contain other usable updates?

I'm using stock dutch ME2 ROM. My device is getting al little bit hotter while I use internet over 3G. On WIFi is nog getting so hot. For the record, I used an iPhone 5 for a while and even that phone is getting hot so I don't think its abnormal behavior.

When I play games like MC4 its getting real hot, but not so hot that i will worry about it. The iPhone 5 does also get really hot. Its the power that these devices deliver on demanding tasks I think. Larger screens, better CPU/GPU etc. is al demanding so don't worry about it.
