Maybe I miss something. But when wipe data from stock recovery MH8 have wifi and can be rooted without loose wifi. After that I use terminal to disable knox and is same thing like that rom. Maybe I dont understand something, but if I flash that or if I flash stock from sammy is same thing. Wifi works great when data is wiped and rooted.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
ZHUDMI1 won't work... :( I've tried to flash it and failed on Aboot!!!?? WTF?? Newer FW and impossible to flash... Bollocks.. :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bizzy_B:
Thank you very much. It never took my interest because I didn't want to use knox, but now I understand
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Magic_Knight:
Probably nobody reading this thread has ever been interested in Knox security features but as I wrote in a previous post that flag might be used by future firmwares and applications to detect modified devices from untouched ones and decide whether to work or not.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bizzy_B:
Hopefully this will not happen. Would be too much foe a free phone
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
I've prepared new version of MH8 - untouched (KNOX on board and so far no annoying messages) and Pre-Rooted... ;)

Now, in Download Mode my System Status is OFFICIAL but Device Status is still CUSTOM.. Nothing can be done about it..

Can anybody with new Bootloader and KNOX 0x0 test it and report how it went?? Hopefully it will stay 0x0 afterwards..

I think we have to wait till 4.3 official is out (with open bootloader)! And then the adventure begins again! ;)

Maybe the following statement by Samsung can provide some cue about Knox and possible effects of the association of firmware components extracted from different ROMs:

Question...

I installed your Stock Pre-Rooted XXUBMGA I9505, the phone took an auto update to UDMH8 and I lost root. Can I now use this new update you just posted (I9505XXUDMH8-PRE-ROOTED-KNOX_FREE-Odin) on the phone without messing it up, and get my root back?

Thanks... this Knox crap is driving me crazy.

:confused:

Hi,

I have a question for those of you who has successfully installed the de-Knox-ed version:

Does Titanium backup properly work for you?

I have rooted mine since the OTA, I was able to remove the Knox files, but when I restore my backups, I get fc for all app where I have restored the data.

Any experience on this?

Thanks,

Daniel
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chubby65:
It's not always best to restore data mate as it can lead to all sorts of problems

I normally always advance restore data but sometimes have to clean install because of problems like yours
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sarbe:
I had that problem mate and installed them again from Play store.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jmw2207:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tickie:
Same question only which would work best... I9505XXUDMH8-PRE-ROOTED-KNOX_FREE-Odin or I9505XXUDMH8-PRE-ROOTED-FULL-Odin this last one you just posted.:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
??????? Which version?? KNOX FREE?? Both versions have working root so I don't really know what have you done...

Use ODEX FULL...

====================

OP updated, new links for MH8 added (Android Host & Dev-Host), ODEX FULL is recommended.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] papazaf:
Hi guys ,I am a new user , i have tried to read 472 pages , but I am confused...

Now my phone is on I9505 XXUDMH8 official out of the box, when i update with the

[ROM] WORLD PREMIERE: I9505 XXUDMH8 ODEX rom found in this page to get root access, (i want it to restore with titanium backup)

, do i get status official, and knox number 0x0 , or is there somthing changes for my current "virgin" status?

sorry if I am asking the obvious, but i am realy messed up with my new S4

Is there any safer way to get a temporary root on S4?

Thank you
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] 00raq00:
Same for me
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Can't see your screenshots but it's really weird. Everything works just fine....

As I said earlier, Device Status is CUSTOM but System Status in DL Mode keep changing from Custom to Official, back and forward... it's sooooo confusing...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] 00raq00:
I can't start SuperSU because KNOX is closing it, so i can't freeze KNOX in TB.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Seriously?? I'm really puzzled now... It's all OK here, no messages, KNOX on-board, no issues at all and I'm using the latest Odex FULL..

Try to flash KNOX FREE version and see how it goes, I've left both versions , check OP
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] 00raq00:
I'll try. Now I'm downloding KNOX-FREE version.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] monkteo:
Odex - FULL

Odex - KNOX FREE

the difference between this 2 rom it's just the knox ? right ?

thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Odex FULL is untouched (KNOX on-board) and has been built different way.... ;) As STOCK as possible ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] 00raq00:

Hi, I urgently need some help, since I might have bricked my phone!

I have been flashing ROMs from this thread since almost the first day I bought my unbranded S4 (in May) without issues.

When trying to flash the latest XXUDMH8 ROM, it always fails while flashing modem.bin (MDM), leaving the device in download mode only.

I have tried several things, including:

1) Trying again :) - no go.

2) Flashing the stock recovery -> this makes the phone bootable, but no Wifi and very buggy behavior in general.

3) Flashing the stock version of the ROM, which again fails while flashing modem.bin (though it tries to do so AFTER flashing system, in contrast to the rooted version, which flashes modem.bin before system and therefore fails much earlier).

4) Flashing the ROM I was running prior to this mess, but it instantly fails.

5) Flashing the modem.bin separately by creating a Odin-flashable tar file with just the modem.bin file. Of course, this fails, too.

Any help would be appreciated...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mitky82:
Use odin 3.09
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Nemphys:

Not now. Now isn't possible to get root safety.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Magic_Knight:
So far any attempt to produce a working rooted firmware with the latest firmwares and leave Knox status 0x0 has been a failure. Maybe someone will find a way but IMHO Samsung did things cleverly... Knox means "secure" and rooted means "potentially unsecure" ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Did anyone with KNOX 0x0 tried to root it with CF-AR? Did status changed afterwards? In theory, KNOX Status shouldn't be affected as you're flashing recovery only... It's too late for me to test it but it would be good to know... I could make self-rooting FW - all in 1 file ;)

You can fully unroot from SuperSU when you have finished with it.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Kriomag:
it means all knox related apks are removed, but the SElinux is still enforced so you will not get warning mesages as knox apks are not there but your apks will still not work, just crash with raport to send to google... i just recovered from backup to MGA as this CWM MH8 is still unusable for me - almost all titanium backup apks crash after restore, even when i restore only data and apk is installed from google play.

Thanks for this recommendation. I will try this one.

But I have 2 Adam kernel, the other one is KNOX-free. Which should I use?

Use the option available within Titanium Backup
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] montojo2003i:
Like how? I mean what particular option?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mjrider:
Maybe somebody tries this already. Can't we add extra rules to the selinux ruleset? So that su, TB and other apps are allowed by selinux. And maybe in the end make it so that knox doesn't complain anymore and apps who don't work on a rooted phone can't detect su anymore.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lewis0214:

I think I will downgrade my phone to MH1 via Odin because I had no problem with MH1 ROM previously.

I hope the next ROM will be stable when it will be released. :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] themissionimpossible:
There is some options in TB Pro menu that deal with system dalvik cache integration, but maybe I misunderstood that function and actually this is not a real deodexing...

"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."

Now how can I fix it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Kriomag:
didnt you know? that after mh8 only mh8 ? ;) yep...

forget about odin now, only option to get older firmware to work now is to restore nandroid backup or install it through cwm with custom kernel because all stock kernels older than mh8/mh6/mgg dont work anymore - i tried today like a thousand times to flash mga with odin with custom packages i made.. evry time i upload mga stock kernel phone wont boot or boot after long time on galaxy logo and then sd card and wifi are not working. with custom kernels like KT everything is ok.

damn my english ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TemporaryTester:
To put it simply, you don't (via Odin).

Once you're on MH8, there's no going back with Odin, as there is an irreversible bootloader change. You can go back using CWM (i.e. flash a custom recovery, then flash one of the prerooted CWM packages), but I believe research is being done as to whether this hard-voids the warranty (i.e. Knox 0x1).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lewis0214:
I tried to connect to Kies (as my phone said) but it was not connected.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TemporaryTester:
If it's still in Download Mode, Kies won't recognise it. Can you boot back into Android? If you can, install CWM and do it that way. If you can't, you need to Odin back to MH8, then get into Android and proceed.

The bootloader screws a lot of things.

Hi...I'm on stock mh8 rom...and I used cf-auto root to root it.... is there a way to change device status to official ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lewis0214:
No I cannot. Only Odin mode is availabe. Recovery and the android system is figuratively blew off. If I try to power on, the odin mode is start automaticly. Try the Volume Up+Home Button to boot into recovery, but still the odin mode was started. Volume Down+Home Button is works so I can boot into Download/Odin mode.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chubby65:
Don't restore data that's your problem mate
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Kriomag:
the problem is...

MH8 kernel, just install Ausdim Kernel v17 , every backup will work then. if you have FC make factory defaults in settings, then restore user app data with titanium, dont restore system apps data - it couses FC.

So it's mean that A1 haven't block it :) Happy days! :)

You don't need to do anything.. It should be ALL as OFFICIAL and BASIC ROOT ONLY!!!

DO NOT MODIFY or mount SYSTEM as WRITABLE... Your phone will reboot and Status can be changed to CUSTOM afterwards...

You can't flash ZIPs from Stock Recovery as they need to be signed by SAMSUNG...

After you flash CUSTOM Recovery , your Binary Counter will show 1 and all will change to CUSTOM...

Not much point at the moment as the TWRP and CWM Recoveries DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY!! :(

NO, it will just update the Firmware.. DO NOT flash CSC at the same time with ROM... Flash it afterwards as CSC ;)

Fair enough and as I said, I can't test it because my phone is Factory UNLOCKED.... :D

Feels like the upgrade from MDF to MDM/ MDN took some of the (micro) lag away.

I am not sure but I THINK the pictures taken after the upgrade are a bit darker, also could be that I am an idiot ;)

Do you have any additional plans in further development of this rom?

P.S. please don't ever use the gooim servers, it sometimes took me over an hour to download a cm10.1 rom for my sensation. those are ~150mb, would take me days to download a S4 rom even on my 120Mbit line ;)
