Did you the rom manager to boot to download mode? Try to boot to download mode in the traditional way. It happened to me, regardless what Odin version I used I flashed the BL ok, Odin screens came up with PASS but Wifi didn't work when using the rom manager to boot to download mode.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Reggy Noble:
Guys,

Why don't you make a nandroid back up before testing a new rom?????

New bootloader or old bootloader it does not matter. If you restore your JB android backup while you are on KK and new bootloader, it will work without problem.

I tested Omega KK rom and Foxhound KK. And now I'm back to my Foxhound 2.0 which is android 4.2.2. As I don't see significant benefit moving to KK.

And I have no issue at all with my JB rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] markworksfx:
This has been solved two pages before your post just go back to v19 and dirty flash the new rom

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bigmaxy:
Thanks for the tips.

For those who are thinking of trying 4.4.2 with the old boot loader I also had success. I'm on I9505XXUBMEA

My steps were.

Downloaded Omega v23

Downloaded I9505XXUFNB8_GSM_LTE_Modems

Backed up with Titanium Backup and Nandroid using philz recovery

Powered off completely and then started download mode.

Using Odin 3.07 I flashed I9505XXUFNB8_GSM_LTE_Modems using phone.

Rebooted into Android. (Most likely not necessary)

Rebooted back into recovery and did a dirty upgrade to 4.4.2 using Omega v23 from v19

Rebooted into Android. (Wifi not working)

Rebooted back into recovery and installed KT-SGS4-KK4.4-TW-INTL-02.24.2014.zip

Rebooted back into Android (Wifi still not working as I hadn't done the buildprop thing) Didn't know how to do that without looking it up.

Rebooted back into recovery and installed Jeboo_Kernel_i9505_NB8_Feb24.zip

Rebooted back into Android. Wifi is happy now.

Noticed that camera wasn't working

Powered off completely and then started download mode.

Using Odin 3.07 I flashed GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUBMH1

Everything working as it should. Thanks all. :)

Edit. Went back and did the editing of the build.prop stuff just because I could, Jeboo was working fine.

I just used ES Explorer to enable root and allow R/W access to /system

Went to /system and found build.prop

Edited ro.securestorage.support=true TO ro.securestorage.support=false as per the KT thread.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MRDOCA:
Old bootloader:

I dirty flashed 23 over 19 and installed kt kernel 02.24.2014

Edit build.prop via instructions on main op of kt thread.

Get a profile and script. I recommend lateralus as I have amazing battery and performance.

Profit.

Do the roms you bring out with every new firmware that rollsout sammymobile actually have something new ore better than the v23 ore is it just the region that the new fimrware comes from?????

:D:thumbup::thumbup:

Cuz I'm now on the Germany based rom wich works flawless (like all omega roms) so want to know before flashing if its just the base-rome that changes ore does it comes with improvements. ..tnx in advance for all youre work...???

As NB9 has the same changelist as NB8 both ROMs are quite equal. You could stay on the NB8 modems but flash NB9 though. There will not be a loss of quality. We flashaholics will flash every new ROM anyway! :D

I have just dirtyflashed V24 over V23 and ALL is working as expeted. (Again) :):good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Gotcher:
I'm also coming from Omega 19 with the old bootloader.

So I did everything you said, flashed the ROM via my Philz Touch recovery (latest version) and booted it up (noticed first lags and stoppings at the lock screen), turned the device off after and flashed the modems via Odin. I then flashed the kernel via recovery.

Everything booted up fine after these steps (pretty fast, too!), but after I got to the lockscreen, my device lags very hard and doesn't even recognize the unlock swipes/PIN entries at all sometimes. When I successfully make it to my homescreen, everything seems to be running smoothly, but because of those very big lags, most of the time I'm just not able to unlock the device (screen turns off randomly when trying to enter the PIN, too.). Is there anything I can do now? I tried to complete the steps with a fully swiped device and a dirty flash of Omega 23, but neither worked.

Another question when there's no way to fix my problems yet: when I'm going back to Omega 19 (I have a nandroid backup ready on my external SD), I can't hear any mp3 files/can't watch videos. Is this a problem of the baseband? :( Do I just need to go back to the linked baseband for Omega 19? I really don't know why the sound is not working anymore, because it seems that I still have the old bootloader (no KNOX information when I'm in download mode)... Thanks for any help! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] phil.o:
This seems to be the lockscreen issue being on the old bootloader?!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Gotcher:
Thanks for the very quick answer! :) I'm not sure whether this is the problem or not, though... I can set the unlock method when I dirty flash the ROM from v19, but the major lags on the lockscreen are still there... Am I the only user who has this problem? I never read anything about this either. I just can't explain it because I really followed all the steps (and this isn't my first flash)... :eek:

BTW, I just went back to v19 (with the old modem for v19, too) and everything seems to be working again. I can now hear music again and watch Youtube videos. Strange that modems are able to destroy all the media experience of your device :laugh:

Will there be a KitKat version for Omega for the old bootloader where the user doesn't have to change the kernels (aka without KNOX)? I heard that the kernel source is available now

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] phil.o:
Both of you, did you powered off your phones completely? You have to boot manually into download mode to flash the modems correctly. Don't use reboot menu or any apps.

Have you already tried a custom kernel? KT or Jeboo? Talexop's new stock kernel is also available. Using one of the custom kernels you have to pay attention to this

I am a little confused about this Knox counter 0x1,so i am still in Omega v19. If you have the old Bootloader and you are in the official 4.3 JB, and then you update to the official 4.4 KitKat by Samsung (no custom Rom) via KIS or OTA update what happens??? Does the Bootloader updates to the new one too??? I think that 4.4 works only with the new Bootloader. Does the Knox counter goes to 0x1???

i see there are still guys with wifi issues and so on ALL KK4.4.2 Custom ROMS are working on OLD BOOTLOADER if you use KK4.4 TW Custom kernel Like KT Kernel or Z-Patched Like Jeboo Kernel or the new Telexop v2 kernel on old bootloader to get wifi working got to build.prop file and change this line ro.securestorage.support=true to ro.securestorage.support=false on new bootloader has to stay ro.securestorage.support=true the new omega v24 has it by default set to false thats why guys with new bootloaders may not have wifi just chage it back to true if you are using the new bootloader and finally the lockscreen issues can be fixed by doing same thing open build.prop and change entry security.mdpp=None to #security.mdpp=None and all options in lockscreen will became available

Wifi won't enable

When I upgraded v22 to v23 then v24 I lost the ability to turn on WiFi.

I've reflashed the ROM, reflashed the modem, factory reset, and scanned the forums.

I notice it said during the installation that "(if wifi is not working is normal)", but I assume it's supposed to somehow start working! :)

Note that in my case **wifi will not turn on**, and this is not one of the connection issue faults.

Has anyone had this issue? Any suggestions? Any help very gratefully received (after running up a $120 data bill last night downloading v24 over non-wifi)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jsobell:
WIFI not working problem resolution... possibly

OK, it seems that the solution to this (and this is obviously not stressed strongly enough in the original in the installation instructions) is the the system absolutely must be powered off completely before the modem is flashed.

Yes, it mentions that in the instructions, but I would guess that many people upgrading don't bother flashing separately at all, and when they do (like me) they may assume that selecting 'Download' mode from the power menu is enough.

Can I suggest that the instructions have that bit

emphasised

, then you can avoid people becoming frustrated or disillusioned due to their accidentally skipping a seemingly irrelevant detail :)

Remember, we provide instructions to make life easier for people, not to test their attention or reading skills.

Anyway, I'm posting this so anyone searching in future will hopefully see this comment and know how to fix it without getting ripped to shreds by other members.
