Re flashed stock rom and check wifi. It should WORKED for you. Tgen flashed back GE 2.1 ROM.

Send via i9505 using Tapatalk,

ROM: PYRANA MF8 1.7 LITE.,

CSC/Modem: OLBBMF8/DXUBMF8

Kernel/recovery: Adam 1.4/CWM recovery.

SuperSU Pro 1.34, 64GB exFAT Card

Yeah I removed the quote... sorry but don't need to be so aggressive ;)

Which way is better /easier is using cwm flashable roms or ODin ? thx for this answer.. the rest of information I should be able to find it
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Hey, just flash Ausdim or KT Kernel on top and it will work again. WiFi FIX is in CWM ROM's Section. (post #2)

Worst case scenario, flash STOCK ROM (MF8) and then v2.1 on top..

Thanks for that ;)

CWM flashable ROM's are easier but you can have WiFi issues, Odin is recommended.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MariozPOC:
I reflashed 5 times........ no solution. I will restore android bkp (but is for the TW version of the ROM) end I will re-apply GE version

Anybody know where I can get a battery % mod (that's not a damn circle) for the stock battery icon on the GE ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
YES!! :) The new Kernel is LOCKED, Impossible to root it!! :( Latest working kernel is from XXUAMDF...

There's ONLY 2 options, use the Kernel from my package and enjoy your fully rooted baby, or enjoy your new KERNEL without root..

Choice is yours... ;)

Go to www.sammobile.com or www.samsung-updates.com and download XXUAMDM (BTU) . It should be around 1.5GB, then use Odin and flash it. For root, please visit my thread in GENERAL SECTION.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] topcat07:
Top Man thank you how come the file is smaller 1.5gb through those websites instead of 8gb + which is on kies?

Look around you next time!! ;) http://hotfile.com/dl/209530488/170...GT-I9505-BTU-I9505XXUAMDM-1366903210.zip.html

I have NO clue why Kies need 8GB!!!!!????? WTF??? Odin is leaked Samsung Flashing Tool and Full Firmware without extra rubbish is only 1.7GB to be correct...

If you don't know how to use Odin, READ FIRST as you can BRICK your phone if you do something wrong!! It's not a TOY to play with, be CAREFUL! :)

I'm very happy for you and you're welcome! :)

enjoy :)

ps. if you see my post anywhere, click "Thanks" and one day it will be a 1000th one.... ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] topcat07:
Thanks so much I shall read very carefully and watch some videos first, quite scared! Is there anything I can do to be on safe side like a back up on kies to restore from or does it now work like that?

After I have flashed that I will use cf auto root

Hope this doesn't get messy (YN)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] floydart:
I fall into that category and feel like an absolute numpy.

I downloaded the HD-Voice pre-rooted firmware from hotfile, ran Odin as administrator, rebooted the phone in download mode and connected via usb ..... all good so far.

Then I selected the .tar.md5 as Phone rather than PDA and started flashing ..... of course it failed.

Now, whatever I try in Odin fails and if I reboot the phone in "normal" mode I get the "firmware upgrade error" screen at boot.

Is there anything I can do to unbrick my phone?

Many thanks in advance,

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] xPr0metheus:
Is there a big difference between the kernels? Confuses me why Samsung locks it.

Man they shouldn't make root so difficult every time again but build an option to the phone (rootmodus or sth like that) that is hidden like dev mode...

Would make life so much easier
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Fast download mirror available

YES, You can make and restore backup using KIES (contacts, messages, internal SD, ....,) but it WON'T safe your apps though.

Use my HYBRID ROM if you want the latest Unbranded firmware, or use Kies to install Official Firmware and then root it with Modified_AutoRoot from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2255190, FOLLOW THE GUIDE!!

WTH??!!

Ouuuchhhhh, you f*** up a big ONE!! :( I'll look into it and try to find the way to bring it back to life... Can't promise anything though... :(

Yeah, it's all because of the integration of SE into Android environment... KNOX?? I'll call it Bollocks!! :D

After i try last night to flash german version.....the odin failed...i try another one time the same. i reset from recovery and phone boot back...But now i have no working wifi. Also the SElinux status change to permissive from enforce.... Any idea?

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 PM ----------

Remove battery few seconds.After boot into recovery. Home+vol up+power when see the blue letters on left top corner dont press any button. you see android den a triangle..Press vol up and you boot into recovery reset your phone. Will be boot back but you will dont have wifi...(

What version you have ? I have 3 devices on my hands with the same problem. I try to resolve. Please provide me info about the kernel.csc.... etc.

Also selinux status.

What you had before? Your device is a prototype ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Gonzo28:
Hello,

my status is still custom after flashing I9505XXUAMDN-HYBRID-ROM.tar

i did a factory reset and removed the battery for some seconds, but didnt work.

What else can i do?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] floydart:
Hi,

Unfortunately I couldn't boot into recovery - when I tried Volume Up + Menu + Power I got the standard "firmware update error" message.

I could only boot into download mode.

djembey sent me a couple of files to try and my phone is _nearly_ back working again :D

No, my device isn't a prototype it's an i9505 and I had XXUAMDF with ChainFire's Auto Root before I fecked it ....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Hmm... weird, get OFFICIAL STOCK ROM and flash it with Odin... It should be back to normal, then root it and clean it...

You must flash STOCK recovery afterwards.

READ POST #1!

So, is it working or not?? I'm just curious... In case it doesn't work properly, flash OFFICIAL STOCK ROM and then must work... ;)

Later on you can do anything you want with it.. but be careful...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lumsdoni:
Just thought I'd let you know that I've rooted perfectly, thanks for all your time and effort.

Used CF modded autoroot on MDM.

Reset to Official Status (checked in Downloadmode)

Reset counter on Triangle away

All good.

Skygo still detects root, but no biggie.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] floydart:
It's now working perfectly with your Hybrid ROM in post #1, thank you :)

After I flashed Stock Recovery it booted into Safe Mode, but one Factory Data Reset later (I did have the foresight to back up EVERYTHING to my PC this morning) it's now happily rooted and downloading my apps from the Play Store :)

Triangle Away next .......

Thanks again for ALL your help
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bizzy_B:
Did I understand it rigthly to flash hybrid rom first, let it boot, then flash recovery and csc as second step ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
I'm really happy for you! :) DON'T do it anymore... Stress is bad for you.. ;)

1. Flash ROM and wait, phone will Automatically reboot into custom recovery where root will be applied and then it'll reboot normally...

2. Go to your apps and look for SuperSU, if it's there, turn your phone off , boot into Download Mode, flash Stock Recovery, boot normally (post #1)

3. Turn it OFF again and flash CSC, boot normally

4. Install TRIANGLE AWAY and reset Binary counter, you should see on the screen Binary Status, if it's CUSTOM, flash Stock Recovery and check it again!!

5. Use app from post #1 to check your current CSC, if you need to change it, simply browse all codes available and press INSTALL (Warning: phone will automatically reboot into recovery and Factory Data Reset will be performed, internal SD card will be formatted)

6. All done, your phone should be fully rooted and OFFICIAL at the same time :)

enjoy

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tom-Helge:
I'll guess there is not possible to have HD Voice on a ROM with full root access atm?

Doesn't the newest stock version have HD Voice enabled to begin with, or is that something that have to be hacked to get it enabled?

And what's the differences from the ROM that have the Build Date '25.04.2013' to the '26.04.2013' ?

Flash CMW (using ODIN)

Pass ROOT (not needed)

Put rom in SDCard

Wipe all (except SDCard)

Flash Android 4.3

Surely all the features work? what's not working in the Google roms?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] xPr0metheus:
so you have air view, air scroll, smart stay, nfc (s-beam), multi window, s-voice, samsung camera ... ? And Apps working with this? Like Stock Email, Stock Dealer, Stock Browser, Stock Mp3 Play
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gaspodex:
Thats a personal preference - those are Samsung apps not native Android apps. You can probably find and down load many if them anyway from Play store (certainly some of them as that's what I have down) and people will probably do a mod with APK's in . You can add other apps that do many of those things better anyway.

Its horses for courses. I seldom use the Samsung apps at all and have always dis liked touch wiz. This way i get the power of the phone (and I like the 4.3 camera app although being able to save photos direct to SD card would be handy). If you must have the air scroll etc with pure android you probably won't have to wait long. The speed increase with out touchwiz is impressive. Now 4.3 is properly rooted I suspect to see fixes and mods coming think and fast.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jona196313:
+1 so do i
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] xPr0metheus:
Mate, you did not read :D We were talking about pure android vs touchwiz.

But galaxy s4 is based on touchwiz, and all new features are based on touchwiz and samsung apps.

So if you don't want TW and Sapps, why would you need an s4 with all it's sensors etc? If I would not want these features, I would take a HTC One or Google Nexus or sth. You know what I mean?

And I know that pure android is much faster, because all these samsung features take much space and power.

Sorry @ dj for OT

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gaspodex:
Hi ...

It's the other way round. Touchwiz and the SApps are built ontop of Android on top of the S4. The hardware is the same and is available to anyone who has the drivers and API's. The sensors will still work - your will start seeing custom roms appearing now based on the GE pure android with controllerable functionality, imagine basically a rom without touch wiz but with the picof other SApps. It wont take long - you can already download an app to use the IR Blaster. To be honest the main advantage the S4 has over the HTC One is the camera which was the deciding factor for me - it also has a slightly faster processor. This is all in the S4 hardware - nothing to do with touchwiz. This is why there is a GE version of the phone - other people can leverage the hardware as required. I brought the phone for the Hardware - certainly not for touchwiz.

Does that make sense ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] xPr0metheus:
Well, yes. I imaging Chrome, Gmail, Gmaps, Youtube and others with airview, airscroll. That would be very cool.

What about Multi window? Has it found its way into pure android?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bradden1:
I successfully flashed my phone last night - thanks to the Dev it was simple.

I then flashed Philz Touch Recovery so I could make a nandroid - I like to tinker with my phones but worry that I'll do something wrong so need a backup for peace of mind. Flashing this through Odin worked fine.

I noticed that my device status now shows as custom which I expected.

Is this because my kernel has changed it is now:

3.4.0-917495

se.infra@SEP-124 #1

Wed Jun 19 20:07:29 KST 2013

Is this the ROM the phone ships with or has the recovery flashed over it?

The phone is working fine.. I'm just curious.

Secondly.. if I now reflashed this ROM would it overwrite the customer recovery and put everything back to stock or do I now have to use the CWM versions of this ROM when the next update is out?

Thanks
