Hi

Is it possible to just update to v 38 without a wipe?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] MVKA:
Hello

Should work just fine. Try it yourself and if you have problems then flash with wipe.

Sorry about the noobish question but I wasn't here for a while and I want to make sure that i'm not going to damage my phone. I'm using Omega v12, version 4.2.2 / I9505XXUBMH1 and I want to upgrade my phone to the newest 4.4.2 omega rom.

I'm using the very old bootloader and i don't have knox on my device. On the first page under installation instructions they say that I need to flash new bootloader aka BL_I9505XXUFNAD_481100_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5 although they did mention in the end that in version 4.4.2 old bootloader can be used aswell.

so what are the advantage/disadvantage of having the old/new bootloader? Should I stay with the old bootloader or it will give me lower performance?

Thanks in advance.

You can flash V38 with old bootloader without problem.

Normaly, new bootloader + custom rom, you lost warrenty and not possibility to return on Android 4.3 rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] petrusconsult:
On your old bootloader, the system may start very slow (almost always) and may be some issues.

It also may have problems with new modems

On the newer one, there's 99% of chance that everything will run smoothly.

The best way is to flash the latest one, but on the other side you will get KNOX.

It's up to you to choose. Remember, if you flash new bootloader - there's no way back.

i just flashed omega v38 rom version 4.4.2. I'm with old bootloader and i'm having some problems with reception. is it possiable to flash new modem aka Modems XXUFNC9 -> I9505XXUFNC9_GSM_LTE_Modems.tar

even though i don't have the new bootloader?

thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] culbuto:
Modems XXUFNC9 is not new modem. the last is XXUGNH8.

If you want to flash modem with old bootloader , don't flash LTE, only GSM

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] culbuto:
No problem with gps for me. I use Google Maps, Waze. Mapy gps, and all works fine.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Xode:
I had the same problem as you ... tried on every GPS fix, a few times I did factory reset with a different stock FW but without success until I found THIS :)

I made ​​a bit differently and now I have a GPS that works properly :o:o

1.Make nand backup

2.Install from Play Store Samsung Galaxy S / S2 / S3 CSC

3.Change CSC (I changed in DBT) or another you prefer ...

4.After that shuts down your device, go into recovery and restore the backup which you made ​​before.....

5.Enjoy it again with GPS... ;) ......... And of course, all the credit to [MENTION=5209491]Ereniemis[/MENTION] :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] danixx:
Finally I solve the problem with the gps changing the csc it was the only one solution, I fund it before I read your reply, I would save a lot of time if I would check in your comment before, but thank you anyway. Apparently is caused by changing and trying many roms, but after all I´m always return to Omega rom

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasy:
If you are using the xposed module "disable location consent", uninstall it. It's not valid in new play store. At least that was the cause of the crashes for my case.

Sorry for my newbie questions in advance.

I am currently running Omega V19 with KT kernel on the AT&T I9505 16GB white variant. I'd like to upgrade to the new Omega V38 Android 4.4.4 rom.

I'd like to know how I can get my phone upgraded from the JB to KK ROM.

I have read the instruction that this Rom works with the older JB bootloader so this is good. At this point is it as simple as just updating my TWRP recovery from 2.5 to the newest version 2.8.1 and flash the Omega V38 via TWRP? And the flash the KT ATT 4.4.2 kernel?

Aside from KT kernel what are some other good kernels that is for AT&T?

Thanks

Is this only to update the app. I installed Omega V38 two days ago and noticed 3minit was not downloading nadmaj battery icons. So I downloaded 3minit app and overwrote it on system/app folder. Then wiped cache and it started working as it should.

Today it gives message to update app.

Are your steps required in my case?

I am currently running Omega V19 AT&T 16GB white variant and want to upgrade to the new Omega V38 4.4 KitKat. Can someone review my steps below to see if it's correct.

1.TWRP Recovery: Upgrade to the newest version.

3 Flash KT kernel for TW 4.4.2

4. Reboot.

Does that sound about right?

Also any recommendation for other working kernel for the AT&T variant besides KT?

How can I downgrade from Omega V38 (4.4.2) to Omega V19 (4.3)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] culbuto:
If you are on new bootloader, it's normally not possible.

If you are always on old bootloader, simply flash V19.

i don't care about knox anymore ---- is there a way to downgrade?

i installed omega this way:

i was on 4.4.2 stock

rooted without tripping knox

installed omega v38 with mobile odin pro without tripping knox
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
You have new bootloader so you can't downgrade to 4.3
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] culbuto:
If you was on 4.4.2 stock, before, you have new bootloader, you can't downgrade on 4.3 .

The problèm is not knox, is that new bootloader is not compatible with android 4.3 .

...3Minit batt.mod has been "cooked" in the Omega rom, so you do not need to "flash" it again ....

...You can reflash V38 with no wipe to avoid the issue or extract "stock systemui" from V38 zip file and then copy / replace it in the system / priv-app .....

...If you want to update 3Minit batt.app, then download it from HERE, extract the file that contains "3Minit batt.app." uninstall (just like any other app) 3Minit batt.app and install this new updated ...
