Thanks a lot.

I mixed two methods. Now, it is done, i think that i can't go back.

I have SuperUser.apk.

About build, I think that you mean "custom rom". I wanted to do it, but I was afraid to brick phone.

I will wait and later I will change rom with one rooted.

Best regards and thank you for your advises.

so I flashed the XXUAMDM modified stock package pre-rooted and now I don't have LTE for some reason...

if I flash the XXUAME2 modified stock package pre-rooted will I get LTE back? :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
It's known issue, you need to reset your CSC code to make LTE work again...

Read post #1 for how to do it...

Remember, you need to reboot into recovery after you change CSC for the changes to take place...

Backup your internal SD as it will get formatted during this process...

NO other option, sorry ;)

Where can I find a deodexed version of ME2? Thanks

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] currway:
Hello guys. My ROM build and baseband are both labelled MDE (stock, rooted).

Everything is good except that the phone temperature is abnormally higher than what I'd call normal, when under usage.

So I'm gonna try this ME2 ROM, but won't be flashing the CSC.

Can i seek your advice if i do these steps, would I get into the infamous no LTE, no WiFi problems?

1. Boot into recovery, format system, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik.

2. Boot into download mode, install MDE over Odin for 'PDA' only, without CSC.

3. Voila, restart as per normal.

Appreciate your advice. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Yes, that's correct way of doing it but on STOCK RECOVERY only!! The current version of TWRP recovery can damage your phone while wiping!!! You've been warned...

CSC is included in this ROM (31 codes) so if your LTE stop working, you'll have to follow steps from post #1 and after you reset CSC all will be back to normal. My ROM's don't have this WiFi issue as they are fully loaded (both matching modems are included)

FIY: The ME2 ROM is SLIM version, many apps has been removed (S-healt, AllShare, and few other HEAVY apps) to keep it light, any missing ones can be downloaded from PlayStore or Samsung Apps...

Tip #1

Read the thread, starting with the OP, before asking the same question that's been asked dozens, possibly approaching a hundred times already.

This firmware apparently requires the new bootloader in order for to be fully functional.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] donalgodon:
You already have your answer. There's a reason why some folks (like myself) are staying away form this firmware. If you use the search feature, you'll find that your situation is not in any way unique. It's caused by the bootloader being absent. You have two choices,

1. Flash another firmware with the bootloader you had before and forget about this one til the Knox checks are removed.

or

2. Flash the Knox bootloader for this ROM, which will possibly imprison your device's bootloader in Knox-ville forever.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DJ SNap:
About WiFi problems - I need to use new bootloader with KNOX to use WiFi? If yes - how can I go back to Omega v12? Is there is new recovery that I can use with this ROM?

Sure you can. U gotta download the *.md5 version of it and you can flash it as 'phone' via odin.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2201860

Odin packages instructions: Samsung Only

They come in the form of .tar.md5 file

boot into download mode

start odin3 and configure it as in picture below

connect phone in download mode to PC via USB

press start to flash the tar.md5 package

normally, phone should auto-reboot into recovery.

If it reboots into main system and your recovery remains stock, repeat above steps and untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing the 3 buttons combo to for a reboot into recovery.You should see the new CWM

when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm

to remove yellow triangle, use TriangleAway

I flashed the latest Philz, I guess it was 15.8 through Odin 3.04. Binary was Custom and Knox 0x0. But i found out, that Knox changes to 0x1 when you boot first time into recovery. So now i also have 0x1. Are there any disadvantages except of Lost the garanty?

So not flashing the recovery is the problem. Booting into it will change your Knoy status.

You should be able to see the ploy: It's only made to appear as a safety and security feature. In reality, it's a Trojan horse method for Samdung to lock down the bootloader and hamper development and something they can use as a lame excuse to not honor warranty's for those who flash custom recoveries and/or ROMs on their devices (i.e. nearly every one of us here) as such, I won't be keeping this device much longer. Nexus 5 or Oppo N1 is already my plan.

I don't mean this to be insulting in any way, but I am genuinely curious: What do you love so much about Touchwiz?

The slowness?

The bloat?

The gaudy "circus clowns on acid" color scheme that defies nearly all Android User Interface development guidelines?

The battery chewing 'features' that hardly anyone actually uses in real life?

The "safety" of Knox efuse bootloaders?

What is it? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mittaa:
I like TW too :laugh:

Slow !? (it's not) :good:

Bloatware (freeze it or remove it) :good:

Knox & eFuse ... whats that (I don't use it) :cool:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] donalgodon:
You obviously haven't spent much time checking out other ROMs in depth, because Touchwiz is slower in nearly every respect, including 3D performance, UI responsiveness, etc. due to the bloat and memory hogging nature of the UI and feature set.

"Normal" usage includes all the Touchwiz features turned on? Sorry, but I call BS. Post a screenshot that proves you've done that, which includes your screen-on time.

If you've flashed any ROM released in the last month, you are using Knox's "safety" warranty voiding, bootloader locking e'FU'se "features" whether you knew it or not.

I love tw dialer, SMS, email, music, browser, quick settings, calendar. I don't think there is any ui that has so many apps with fitting style into each other. And air view in these apps is quite amazing. Not to forget the best keyboard I ever saw on any phone.

And with apex launcher, Xposed framework, xhalofloatingwindows with floating notifications and app dialer, with wanam exposed, with gmd etc:

My device is a monster!

And why should I care about knox? I accepted that I lost my warranty with root. Every root app runs fine. For me everything is almost perfect.

I understand your point of view but cant agree. I have tried TW and AOSP roms, and TW by far has the best performance in 3d games, the battery lasts alot longer than any CM based rom and kernel combination i could find, I regularly get over 5hrs screen time. And lastly as far as i know most if not all new TW roms can be installed and you can keep your base as they do not include knox bootloader.

I don't really know what's your problem with the warranty loss.

You bought your phone and you knew that if you root it you will lose your warranty. It was part of the agreement between you and samsung. Then you tried to pretend that you didn't change anything on your phone to get a new one if you brick your device although Samsung told you not to root. So in fact what we did up to this moment was simply to cheat against the agreement and to cheat on Samsung. Now they did something to prevent this cheating and now we are back to the start: you can root your phone but if you brick it you have to pay the full price.

Hi,

What ^^^he^^^ said.

;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] donalgodon:
I don't mean to get into a flame war over the so-called "benefits" of touchwiz, but if you have all the "features" of touchwiz turned off, and stripped out and frozen, then you aren't really using toucwiz the way that Samdung designed it, and that's my point, and yes, getting 2 hours of extra screen time on a single charge is a big deal! :)

My point is that we should not have to go to such lengths to make a device work the way it should work out of the box, and we shouldn't have to be constantly wondering and worrying about the next crazy bootloader lockdown scheme that Samdung dreams up to prevent us from using our devices the way we want to use them.

We should not have to beg for proper sources and documentation for our devices in the Open Source community, because Samdung is required to provide them, but often does the absolute bare minimum at best.

IF they had a better attitude, I'd stick with them, but they don't, and they don't plan on changing any time soon. I think it's sorta' become something similar to the Apple cult, where it's impossible to see the real problems through the reality distortion field they create around their products. Knox bootloader lockdowns are not a benefit, and things are going to get worse with future updates, not better.

You will be required to run a Knox bootloader to use audio, wifi, etc. in 4.3 and up, if the most recent leak is any indication of what's to come, and they probably are. No thanks.

---------- Post added at 09:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 AM ----------

Why is it a problem to point out the issues with Knox bootloaders as they are related to this ROM? That was my only purpose, as they are a part of the new Touchwiz landscape, like it or not (and I don't).
