Set permissions from recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Thal_BR:
How I do that?

In recovery i had:

Reboot system now

applly update from adb

apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

apply update form cache

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] stijndebruin:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Sorry for that but it is because of the way Samsung releasing their firmwares... SamMobile and Samsung-Updates are always First to serve so I was FORCED to get Premium Account in order to make my work easier... since I've got Premium it will be stupid not to use it for big files as well..... I'm also using Dev-Host for smaller files (up to 500MB)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Olli0077:
Use ES File Explorer.

Use on the Left side Root Explorer.

Choose Mount R/W

Enable /system r/w

then you can delete in system/apps

i had flash the last UK unbranded rom for I9505 and it doesnt have under network setings the ability to change from LTE network to 3G/Gsm, simply just didnt got the LTE option there.

Is this normal on the rom ? even if uk doesnt get LTE except for EE now, it still did had to have LTE option there i think or not?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Which network are you using??? Mine DOESN'T show it neither but only if Three SIM card inserted. LTE is back with Orange SIM...

Settings are probably stored in CSC and not available because your provider don't want you to have it ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] zige:
MDM version isn't working on me... Root explorer says that i'm not rooted... And then i tried backup apps with titanium backup, it started but then it restarted full phone... And yes, i followed intsructions.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] marcochapita:
really? ye mine is three sim card, but when i had it on S3 LTE even if i didnt get any LTE signal from my sim card the option was there. so this is a smarter phone right? if the network doesnt have Lte ,he doesnt show it to change it ? i actually find that so diferent from S3,because its a option under settings that go and hide because the network doesnt provide it. but thank you for explain that to me.i only got Three sim card so i cannot test it with other card.to see the option available.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hunhool:
Have you tried in Settings/more networks/mobile networks/network mode and choose 1 from there.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:

They all have been tested.

I need more information to help you

Honestly, same thing with my S3 LTE.

Try different SIM (I've tested it on Orange) and you will see.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] zige:
Oh sorry mate.

I9505, and hybrid MDM. Also tried that MDN but both have same thing.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Impossible! Perform F.Reset and should be OK.

I'm using MDN for about 10 hrs and nothing wrong with it.

Fully rooted, I've deleted few files and no annoying messages at all!!

You must be doing something wrong.

Sent from my GT-I9505
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] zige:
I know that i didnt do anything wrong. But i will test that factory reset later because now i have to flash working rom back to my phone because i need to go.. But will test it later and i will report if it worked or not. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
If you have any issues Always perform Factory Reset.

If this doesn't help, come back to me ;)

Honestly, Im using my ROMs not only creating them.

All has been tested before released.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] zige:
Yeah i know and i'm not blaming you :) You are doing wonderful job!

Tell me my friend, should i do factory reset BEFORE i flash your rom or after that? Or maybe both? :) What you think?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Before is better and it will be enough, no need to repeat it.... ;)

What firmware are using atm??

I've created MODIFIED CF-AutoRoot (CREDIT to Chainfire) , working Full Root Access on all STOCK firmwares including latest XXUAMDM/MDN...

If you want you can try it instead??

password: djembey2013
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] zige:
I think that i will try flash it again, because at this moment i have DBT MDM and it's saying that i'm on roaming status?? So i'm littlebit confused because i'm on home operator network.. :D Your MDM didnt say anything like that so that's way i want to try again.

So i will now try to factory reset via recovery first and then i will report back in about 15minutes :)

---------- Post added at 03:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 AM ----------

Oh yeah mate! It was that factory reset which helped! Thanks a lot mate! :) I also renamed/deleted the KNOX thing which you mentioned at first post, so i think now i dont get anymore those annoying messages?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Haha :) Let me remind you something:

And you did. Next time follow the instructions, if you don't understand, ask.... ;)

The messages are gone for good. I'm testing it for the last 10hrs and Not even a single one. ;)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] malybru:
Hi,

And welcome.

The difference is the firmware.

MF2 is the latest.

MEA is the earlier one.

:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dublinz:
CSC isn't problem for MF2 (MEA have multi 8 MF2 is (SER)? I am coming from MDA (IRE)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Just flash the MEA and leave CSC as it is.. Do NOT perform Factory Reset and your CSC will be untouched though. ;)

Hey guys,

I don't know why but my s4 is battery draining like hell on the slim dmea,i had before the slim me2 and had perfect battery life.

It seems that a process called media which has obviously something todo with downloads is always active.

So im not downloading anything and since the first day on dmea its eating my battery

Does someone have similar problems and knows a fix?

And what is this process doing exactly?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Media Scanner sometimes goes crazy, common issue... Some of your files can be corrupted and it will scan them forever... Check your files , restart your phone and try again if still the same, perform Factory Data Reset.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] idriline:
Good evening Dude's

Those rom seems to be really interesting, i prefer the samsung rom for several small things not present on CM 10.1 and basically i m just waiting a CM 10.1 for make a correct portage of ubuntu touch but there it's not the topic for discuss about that

On this post there are 3 kind of rom if i understand well ?

the complete official stock with any root and no requirement about custom recovery

stock rom already rooted (same than stock but rooted)

and deodexed (for be able to remove app inside rom )
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] malybru:
Hi,

Yes,on all counts.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] idriline:
Woot it's amazing :)

Mine (Lux) is not update to this version 76xxx and still on 58xxxx (kernel version)

one of these work for all europe countries, and if the update is agree by kies OMG great great works :)

the 3 advantages i see on a rooting phone, it"s the ablility to calibrate the batery statement, configure the kernel, and use titanium backup

3 advantages but not the less root on stock rom :p really better than my previous Htc

[MENTION=4398524]djembey[/MENTION]: Oke i have a huge issue. I upgraded to the latest version, MF2. Did a full factory wipe with that on friday and since then didn't change anything. But now i noticed that i can make calls and can receive calls but when i make a call the person on the other hand can't hear me and it's the other way around as well. When I make a call the person i'm calling can't hear me.

Everything is MF2 -> rom -> kernel -> baseband. What can I do and what might be wrong?

By the way, I flashed the deodexed slim rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TemporaryTester:
Try this...

Format /system, /data, /cache (don't just install over), install ROM and kernel, then boot it up. That's what I did.

Also, would anyone happen to have the original android.policy.jar? I don't have it from BMEA, and pretty much every CWM-flashable ROM has it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nek_nek:
Just flashed the BMF2 firmware. I checked the status of my device, Binary status says Samsung Official and System status says Official, so I go on checking the phone for changes. Then I checked my device status again Binary status says Samsung Official but System status says Custom. How did that happen?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] stesmi:
Hi.

Is that how it works?

I flashed MF2 a while ago, flashed over to MEA then back to MF2 - does that mean that until I do a factory reset I am still on the original CSC? (The one that came with ME2) ?

Well that's good news if I understood it correctly.

Also - I don't know if you remember my issue I had with me getting the security warning with MF2. You suggested flashing again in case something didn't flash correctly so I tried a number of things:

1) Flash MEA - same warning.

2) Flash MF2 twice, one after another - same warning.

BUT something I noticed is that I only get that warning once - not once per boot but the first boot after flashing, then I haven't seen it. I played around with both MEA and MF2 and both had the exact same way of working regardless of flashing once or twice - ONE warning and never again. I've been on MF2 now since I stopped playing around with it. Oh btw, don't take this as criticism or anything negative, I just thought I'd add my experiences with the ROM, and I don't care if I get 1 warning once during the install time of that particular rom ...

Another question if you don't mind answering. Yes I've searched but I haven't been able to find it, but I'm totally sure the answer's out there ..

Inside the odin .tar.md5, I'm guessing boot.img is the bootloader, cache.img.ext4 is the cache partition, modem.bin is the modem, recovery.img is the stock recovery, system.img.ext4 is system, but what is NON-HLOS.bin? And where is the CSC stored?

What I'm wondering is - can I take the stock prerooted (your) MF2 odin, replace the modem in the tar with the ME2 modem and replace the CSC with the XX MF1 multi one and just flash?

If it's easier to point to somewhere else to read up on stuff, then by all means - point away, but I've spent some time searching without finding an answer.

It's because your su is detected (SuperSU).

If you really care about it - get TriangleAway and click "System modified workaround" and reboot, that way for a few minutes after booting, the su binary isn't there (it's renamed), then during the check the system will find that su isn't there and say it's Official. After a few minutes a script renames su back to su and root apps start working as they should.

But that's if you care about official status.

Official status and $5 gets you a coffee (in some places).

I simply don't get it.. I got a S4 Vodafone branded, and i flashed your deodexed MF2 Rom on it. But the vodafone crap keeps returning.. even after wipe/factory reset.

What am i doing wrong ?

Thanks for your swift response, i didn't have time to try it yet.

But what i am trying to accomplisch is to get totally rid of any vodafone related stuff and try to run as generic as possible, whether it is NL or DE..

Will the above accomplish this ?

It keeps installing vodafone related apps everytime i reset to factory settings.. i don't want that crap at all, i could probably remove it with titanium backup.. but i dont want it to appear even >_<

After flashing you need to remove battery and then immediately into stock recovery and wipe cache and factory reset. Follow the instructions on the original post exactly. It should work. One thing I am not sure about: you may need to flash the stock rom to change CSC (that's how I did it but it may work with the modified Rom too)
