Matching Stock Kernel works ONLY with FW's up to BMH1.

Custom Kernels for new FW's, DMGG onwards...

It's really strange to me that you can root new FW's with CF-AR but pre-rooting doesn't work anymore, all kinds of problems and NO way to make it work :( I'm still working on it....

I'm going to repeat myself, the "New" DMH6 is the same as MH8 so I won't be doing it! I've installed it yesterday and nothing new.... :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hellcry30:
OK I read loads of pages this may be a stupid question and I apologize for that in advance but:

If i install with ODIN lets say I9505XXUDMGG_I9505VFGDMG3_I9505XXUDMGG_HOME.tar.md5 witch is the last firmware for Vodafone Romania and then i r00t it with CF-Auto-Root will work?

From my understanding u guys can not create more pre rooted firmware for Odin just zip's for custom recovery's.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] xPr0metheus:
Cf-Auto root should work, just triangle away does not work atm as i understood (don't use it till chainfire says it is safe to use triangle away again, you could brick your phone)

Cf-Auto root worked for me on mh5 :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] frans777:
Djembey, I just read the description of SU 1.60 that says SELinux+Enforcing compatibility (new SGS4) while the new version is now 1.65. Does this means the new SU should work with Stock Kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] 00raq00:
CF-Auto-Root increases KNOX counter ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tx12345:
Yes it does. At the moment Triangle Away doesn't work on the newer firmwares.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Magic_Knight:
No way. So far it is impossible to keep "original" and rooted a firmware >MH1. Chainfire managed to root newest kernel and even to make triangle-away work again but Knox official status will change.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TemporaryTester:
I have "Official" status with a custom recovery, Faux's 011 kernel, and DMH8.

If it helps, copy over BMGA's KNOXAgent and KNOXStore.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ZANGETSU786:
i was on mh1 then trying to update to mgg but it wont go pass the samsung logo? download the proper firmware from sammyfrimware
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] StuartTheFish:
Firstly, why would you even want OTA updates if you're able to update it yourself with an unbranded rom and root access?

Secondly, my phone is using MGA, says official everywhere with the flash counter at zero, yet OTA won't work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] frans777:
I've been testing some MH8 custom roms recently added but NONE of them work smooth and bugfree as the Pre-rooted Slim MH8 from djembey.

I modifed a rom cleaner to make it even more clean without making FC's for some settings , added some mods including 3minit which works perfectly here compared to some custom MH8... everything is just perfect!

Thank you Djemb!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Magic_Knight:
Obviously I meant using a stock MH8 firmware+kernel+recovery ;)

Can somebody give me stock DMH8 kernel for cwm? I flashed deodex rom DMH8 but I see is with adam kernel
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] phil.o:
Sorry, I hit thanks by accident.

Don't you think that there's a specific reason, why djembey implemented Adam Kernel instead of the stock one as usual?

You should read more...a lot more...

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mitky82:
I know about problems, yes. I just want to try something. With odex firmware I dont have problem and run wifi.

For now I need deodex and want to test something... Or just boot.img is fine. I just need kernel, if that was problem...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chubby65:
Yes mate THE STOCK KERNEL WILL NOT WORK
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lither:
I was on MGA and updated to MH8 and Wi-Fi worked without flashing MH8 Wi-Fi fix, is this normal?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chubby65:
Yep
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mitky82:
Ok, Its not important for me if kernel is working or not. I just ask for kernel... wanted to test something... nvm ill try to extract somehow from tar file.

If triangle away got to work with newest firmware, wifi will be fixed normaly and easy. I fixed with triangle with previous roms and never give up that method. No two flash, tree flash or auto reboot check or something other. Only triangle and all was working.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Is the Wifi fix intended for when your wifi doesn't work full stop?

My wifi works ok, but the reason I ask is that according to the battery graph and BBS, my wifi doesn't sleep when the screen is off.

Both are reporting wifi as being on 100% of the time.

I'm still on MGA by the way

Previously, when I switched my screen on, I used to see the G/H icon briefly which would then be replaced by the wifi icon, suggesting to me it was sleeping properly, but I dont get this happening any more. Its on constantly.

All I've done in between is briefly try MH8 modem (which I soon replaced with the original MGA modem) and flashed latest PhilZ 5.13.9. I've not flashed any kernels whatsoever, still being on the stock MGA kernel and always have been.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] StuartTheFish:
That's normal on any android phone I've ever had. If you want it to turn off, either do it manually or use an app such as tasker that could do it for you once it sees the screen is off, and turn itself back on again with the screen.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andyjg247:
Is there a setting in WiFi advanced to power it off when in sleep and not powered. I don't have a stock phone to check on. This setting is available in cyan but may not be in stock.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chubby65:
Well just take the stock kernel from the op mate it's that simple
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mitky82:
Sorry mate, i dont find in OP for MH8 only for older roms. I see again, maybe i dont see them. I find odex for cwm i think to take from them, but yesterday they was with stock kernel i think, today is with costom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
You can set your wifi to sleep when screen is off in stock ROMs and have been able to do so at least since my first Android phone which was an S2 on Gingerbread.

I know. I've set it to this. My "keep wifi on during sleep" option is set to "Never" so it should switch off when screen turns off.

My point being, wifi used to turn off properly when screen goes off. I used to see the G/H icon switch over to the wifi icon but I hardly ever see this happen any more. Even when it does, the wifi graph is still on 100%.

Wondering if flashing modems and/or Philz 5.13.9 has affected this.

Think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and flash a stock ROM back on and re-root then re-flash DjeMBeY
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mitky82:
If you use "Never" in wifi settings, they never go sleep when screen is off. Or i dont understand something. If you want to turn off wifi with display off, use second settings in "keep wifi on during sleep"
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
I think you have got the wrong end of the stick mate.

The option I set in advanced wifi settings is:

"keep wifi on during sleep", which I set to "Never"

This means, when the device is sleeping, wifi is NEVER on. ie. its OFF
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mitky82:
Yes, my mistake im on other language on phone. Now switch and see. For me it take 15min to go in deep sleep. Before that 15min wifi is still on with screen off. I use cecond settings "only when pluged in"
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] StuartTheFish:
Ah yes, right you are. I've never bothered with it since I need wifi on all the time anyway.

CRT Effect

Hi can you make crt effect for this rom
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bricenott:
I really don't understand this discussion, since if you switch to data during sleep (3g, hdspa, etc.) you'll consume more battery life than with wifi on, connected or not. Or wifi consumes more than data connection? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
You're right, a wifi connection should use less battery compared to a 3G connection.

However, keeping wifi on is great if you are within range of your router, but outside of this range, it will drain more battery compared to when wifi is off.

Also, overnight I prefer to keep off wifi as I dont need any synching to occur.

Anyway, out of respect for DjeMBeY and his thread, I don't want to start a discussion on here about the merits of making wifi sleep or not, I just wanted to know if wifi not sleeping properly is a problem for myself, or on the firmware in general.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bricenott:
Yes this is what I thought, but that means that if you are home you'll be switching between data and wifi all the time, so this is useless.. This is only useful if you don't have data connection.. (who doesn't nowadays?) :cool:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Its hardly useless.

3G will only be used at home for background syncing when your screen is off.

When you turn your screen back on, it will automatically use wifi again.

That is very good question guys.... I'm not sure as I'm dealing with person who tried to flash my ROM on BRANDED phone and he failed....

There is a big chance that BRANDED phones will have LOCKED BOOTLOADER and then you are all f***ed.....

You will be able update your firmware ONLY to the latest BRANDED one from your provider... and that's it!! (for now...)

My suggestion:

First of all, get yourself's BRANDED ROM for Odin from www.sammobile.com or www.samsung-updates.com as the BACK UP ROM in case if installing any of my ROMs fail in Odin... Then you can flash your Branded ROM and stay safe...

DO IT ON YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY ... there is a big chance that your WiFi will get blocked if something goes wrong...

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] StuartTheFish:
It seems you don't have a good grasp of English, but he DID answer, several times.

A downgrade is possible ONLY if you're on the old bootloader.

If you have already updated to the newer bootloader with the extra security crap in it, then YOU CAN'T DOWNGRADE ANY MORE.

I appreciate English may not be your first language, but if anyone has to admit fault it is you for not understanding his post properly. He clearly answered you in plain English several times.

Mh8 can certainly work with stock kernel. It just has to be mh1 or older stock kernel. At least I can put old Canadian mg1 kernel on deodexed mh8 build. Not sure if this is valid only for those still on old bootloader, as mine is still unlocked Canadian.

Not sure if the op has tried to build stock odexed rooted mh8 with mh1 kernel. If not, maybe he should? There's a chance it might took, where latest kernel, sans bootloader builds failed.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Idan73:
What do you think cwm roms are and what sources do custom kernels use (maybe mistaken here if samsung has released mh8 source, don't have time to check right now) ?

Aboot mbn file, in this case referred to as bootloader, that everyone is complaining about, does nothing cept limit as to what you can and can't do, which is what everyone is complaining about and does not have to be updated at all. Which is why mobile Odin skips all bootloader mbn files altogether.

As for battery? There's a thread dedicated how ba5ery life is great and also lots of comments how the battery drains faster. Personally I don't notice any change.

Besides I was just commenting that stock kernel with mh8 can work in this situation. That's all.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tata_brada:

MH8 is not better on any way than MGA. As gift you will propably have problems with knox and/or boot loader and/or kernel.

Lots of mods are not fully compatibile.

Triangle away, mobile odin and similar kinds of stuff not work.

Batery life will be worse.

Right? Good!
