INDEED!! Silly as it can gets... Google it , please... ;)

With HYBRID ROMs, you have Newest Firmware but Kernel is still from MDF build... as it's the ONLY Root-able one... The new kernel (not much difference to me..) it's LOCKED and IMPOSSIBLE to root.... We need Custom Kernels but they are yet to come.. :)

I'm working now on De-Bloated, Deodexed, Slim Version , KNOX-FREE of course. :) It should be under 1GB as the app folder in SYSTEM is OVER a 1GB... I'm planning to remove most of this CRAP..... ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] benbird7:
Can't wait for this mate. I think it can be s little confusing on main screen which one to down lol. There's a lot of downloads. Could this be tidied up maybe? Thanks for your work. Awesome.

@ djembey

can you tell me what should have been ticked in Odin:

ROM.tar: Auto Reboot & F. Reset Time

Recovery.tar: Auto Reboot

CSC.tar: ?????????? (only Auto Reboot?)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] spl@t:
it work

root works
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] braders2k:
Tip - You don't need to press the home button to get into recovery or download mode :) Just power and volume works :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kafej666:
To be 100% right he need to press and hold only volume button :D no need to hold power ;P

volume up = recovery

volume down = download mode

I installed the MH1 version with TWRP. But WiFi still not working after I installed WiFi fix many times with Odin as Phone.

How can I fix the WiFi?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Kriomag:
after MH8

wifi will not work on older firmwares, also exfat cards, i had this issue when downgraded to mga.. of course custom kernel fixes this as it has its own modules.

Currently im using MH8 with Ausdim v17 kernel - i have not seen faster configuration and more battery friendly :D SELinux is permissive, and i disabled Knox with Titanium backup. Im staying on MH8 without doubt now :)

Also MH8 has new camera firmware :) just updated it in camera service menu *#34971539# "S13F0SAGE03"

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] monkteo:
I update my camera also ! THX

after i instal second time the rom , I have root ,

I instal Adam kernel and I have Linux permissive but it's stile personalize device ! can I make something to by original (or whatever its is)?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Kriomag:
with root no, you probably cant, and what is the point science you dont have warranty anymore with knox 0x1, i played with getting official status when i had warranty... now... i don care.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
I think that KNOX WARRANTY VOID 0x1 won't affect your warranty rights as you can blame KIES for faulty Firmware update and your flag was set to 1 during this process. They can't denied! Many people had serious problems after updating through KIES...

BTW, it's KNOX WARRANTY VOID so it shouldn't have anything to do with HARDWARE.... IMHO... ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Kriomag:
i hope you are right :) but for now i really don have warranty as Mh8 is not yet out for my region ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TemporaryTester:
The only reason why I like "Official" is so that I don't see the fugly Samsung Custom screen, and instead see the "Samsung Galaxy S4" one.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] StuartTheFish:
Can the camera be updated without going to MH8? Just pull camera.apk from the newer rom? I'm more than happy staying with MGA using 3minit framework. What exactly has been changed?

What screen are you talking about? Splash screen? Boot animation? Or something else?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Obagleyfreer:
Do these firmware packages contain the updated camera drivers/firmware?

For example sometimes after flashing stock firmware via Odin when you first open the camera you get a message saying camera firmware updating.

I'm just wondering if you get the same camera updates with these packages?

I can no longer use Odin for stock firmware as I have the KNOX warranty void 0x1 flag. And I only ever flashed stock so I could get the camera drivers updated.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TemporaryTester:
It does matter on my device. I have an ATT SGH-I337. The normal one just says "Samsung Galaxy S4"; the custom one just says "Samsung", has an unlocked padlock, and the word "Custom" below it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] worms:
I'm feeling so stupid, it's the first time that I can't fix by myself a problem like this.

I have flashed a prerooted odin pack, version MH8 without KNOX (found on first post) over my old MH1 (same version, same post).

I had a lot of trouble, lag, crashing app. So I tried restore to factory settings. Results? No one with TWRP, with original recovery I have restored.

So I put back all my old titanium backup, restored and... Now a lot of app can't work, I open it and them crash. So I have to un install and install from play store, restore only data and them work.

Is it normal?!?

Is better If I flash another version?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kafej666:
Thats why a lot of developers requesting full wipe ;) This is not normal but acceptable and can be fixed in most cases by fixing permissions via recovery or 3rd part apps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] worms:
Nope, fixing permission can't help me :(

I will try with another full wipe, another time flash the rom and restore all.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chubby65:
Try avoid restoring data if possible mate
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] worms:
It's a lot of app.. this night I will try to install from zero and restoring only data.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kafej666:
Restoring applications data via titanium backup from the same ROM base is SAFE !!!

Don't spread panic !!

But not system data
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kafej666:
true
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ducy1:
Hay

Sorry if it was answered, but I would like simple answers

If i install this "MH8-KNOX-FREE" rom, do I / can I:

- get counter 0x01 - KNOX Warranty void?

- have status as official?

- flash back to any other rom?

- have root access

- CWM recovery (or able install it)

- connect it to Kies (and be recognizable)?

I have 2 S4's at the moment, one of which is leaving me tomorrow. My trouble is in deciding which one.

One has been updated to the latest irreversible bootloader stock unmodified package from this thread(thanks to my brother).

One is on a very very old BTU firmware, think it is BTU not sure off top of my head.

My question is which should i pass on?

Both are perfect in condition etc the only difference is one has been updated.

I haven't used my s4 for a number of weeks and haven't followed much on it lately so just want some advice from people in the loop!

Any help appreciated!

Regards,

Edit: Not sure why i posted this here rather than Q&A, think its cause i was scouting here for info on the irreversible bootloader rom's as i had no idea about it till today.

Did Samsung made this stupid Bootloader and KNOX to prevent Users to have root or why did they make it?

I don´t understand this, because without root I can use an IPh*ne also. Do they want that? :confused:

Just root is a big advantage over the IPh*ne, without it they lost this vantage! :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] worms:
Hello, how do you do with app that use root (like titanium or AdAway)?

I can't use because KNOX block it.

Also, is KNOX settable or block anything?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
?? That's weird but can happen... I DO NOT have any problems, all root-required apps are working just fine..

Use File Manager and rename KNOX STORE & AGENT in /data/data and then delete them from /system/app

TBH, nothing new, no improvements, NO POINT... fcuking KNOX.... :/

yeah, same sh*t... different letters... as usually... :p

Coming soon, should be Online by tomorrow... stay tuned..

I still not understanding how use my phone with knox.

It block adaway (so I have a lot of adsense) and block other apps.

I found that if I restore a app with titanium, after KNOX block it because are reading data in wrong place.

Is that possible?

Maybe is better if I 'downgrade' to MH8 without knox?

****ing that s**t time when I upgrade. :|
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bricenott:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:

Hahaha, you're missing the POINT...

Every new Pre-Rooted FW released by me is the First in the World so it's World Premiere ... :p

It's released same day when New Official FW is available... Show me any other forum/blog/whatever where you can get Latest Pre-Rooted Official FW's for I9505 faster then from me??? :p

That's my POINT... :p

KNOX is not an issue, it's a FEATURE :D

So far, you should have KNOX status 0x0 (in Download Mode) but if you flash any pre-rooted ROM or Custom Recovery it will change to 0x1.. If you don't mind then go for it! :) Everything works just fine ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tata_brada:
Bootloader you can't change (downgrade) any more.

With flash you will propably woid knox waranty fuse.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] yakuzax1:
that it crazy.... which version cwm hats you use??
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Kriomag:
why cwm only? just remove bootloader file from tar.md5 (i mean unpack only rom files and then pack into new tar and make md5 hash to it).wouldnt this work? i flashed many times different parts of roms mixed into one tar.md5 (like, different kernel, modem, cache.img etc.).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] riccardoroma:
interesting.

Now i'm on XXUBMGA Rooted with Kernel stock 3.4.0 , stock bootloader and PhilZ CMW

I would like to try this MI1 but i would like to avoid problems :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Mate, it doesn't work this way anymore... I've got latest bootloader installed and I've tried every combination... NO GO...

- if you exclude aboot.mbn from Stock FW, new kernel (SEAndroid Enforcing) won' let you start the phone, boot-loop....

- New bootloader+old Stock FW=no sound, no WiFi , no calls, useless....

- I've sent test ROM for guys with OLD Bootloader and same thing, NO GO - old bootloader+new Stock FW=boot-loop...

So you tell me, how you explain this?? :p

Yeah, just go for MI1 -De/Odex CWM flashable , no problems at all ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] macaumen:
I am running stock SGH-M919. Can I just flash CWM MI1? Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Yes but don't forget about your M919 Custom Kernel, you need to flash it after ROM but before you reboot!!

Go to M919 forum for more info ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Kriomag:
custom kernel and every combination works ;) i used MGA rom with ausdim kernel and (unfortunalely) locked bootloader and everything works fine. now im on mh8 with custom kernel and again everything is fine, i like mh8 without knox apps and with custom kernel, its super fast and it has newer camera (ISP) firmware.

so if you want odin flashable safe-mh8 you must include custom kernel into it and remove bootloader file(s), it should work then right? :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] GODSPD:
Stupid question but I have to ask, what does it actually mean when the bootloader is irreversible? how does this effect rooting the phone, changing roms or anything else? should I be concerned if my bootloader will be locked?

and what is the knox warranty void 0x1 mean?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] macaumen:
So I flash the ROM and the M919 stock kernel?

I read about bootloader in previous post. I assume that bootloader is untouched while flashing in CWM, right?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Hehe ;) Custom Kernel and Odin... What's the point?? Every time you flash, you increase Binary Counter.. It's better use CWM flashable ROM's as they're NOT increasing Counter (except for the recovery itself) You can flash 100 times and your Counter will be 1... ;)

BTW, how is your KNOX Kernel Lock status (in Download Mode) after flashing Custom Kernel through Odin?? Is it 0x0 or 0x1??

Here is more info http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2447832

CWM ROM's doesn't contain bootloader! :) I'm not sure if you can use Stock M919, I think it must be Custom Kernel...

i use MH8 rom with ausdim v17 kernel and everything works fine....amazing thing, battery life it is of very elongated... try :fingers-crossed:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Yeah, we all know TA but whole point of this thread is to make it work without TA and keep Counter at 0 ;)

Anyway, I didn't ask about your KNOX WARRANTY but KNOX KERNEL , it's above the WARRANTY thing.. I'm just curious as I haven't flash it yet.. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Kriomag:
Knox kernel lock is active only when stock kernel like mga is flashed and or tz.mbn

when custom kernel is flashed by odin as i did 5 minutes ago k n ox kernel lock remains 0
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sirbilbo:
Which Stock Recovery u mean ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] riccardoroma:
So in this case i'll have same bootloader (because CMW flashable is not affecting bootloader)

Rom MI1

Adam Kernel because it's coming with the CMW Rom and will automatically ovveride the stock one i still have

and what about this Knox Status ?

It will be 0x0 or 0x1 ?

and how to check it ?

sorry but i'm coming from S3 and i didn't have to take care about all these stuff

I would like to install "I9505XXUDMI1-PRE-ROOTED-ODEX-KNOXFree-AdamKernel-CWM.zip", but in the title of the post you say "- Modem is NOT included", can you explain why ?

So if I understand well, I flash :

1 - I9505XXUDMI1-PRE-ROOTED-ODEX-KNOXFree-AdamKernel-CWM.zip

2 - I9505_ZHUDMI1_MODEM.rar

3 - I9505_XXUDMI1_WiFi_FIX.rar

Is it correct ?

Thanks for answer !!! :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
