I have the same problem, tried flash lte modem in Odin "phone" but nothing still missing
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gnarg:
Follow install instructions. Flash ME2 until you get WiFi and LTE working. If not , backup your data and do a full wipe/factory reset, then flash ME2 again, flash recovery and finally flash Omega v3.0 from recovery.

You find it all in my signature except ME2 firmware.

Installation Instructions:

1. Flash Stock I9505XXUAME2 with odin, get the firmware from here or with torrent from here or from here.

2. Make sure your all are working ok with stock XXUAME2,

check it wifi- LTE (if your provider supports LTE) are working.

If wifi and LTE aren't working flash again stock rom with odin, read the reports about this here and here

3. Flash TWRP Recovery with odin, get it from here

4. Boot to TWRP Recovery and flash Omega Rom,

DO NOT WIPE (FORMAT) SYSTEM FROM RECOVERY

- again

DO NOT WIPE (FORMAT) SYSTEM FROM RECOVERY

Wipe data from recovery is not needed, wipe your data only if you want to.

PLEASE FOLLOW THE EASY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ELSE YOU WILL HAVE VARIOUS ISSUES!

csc:

csc is not included in rom, Omega rom will backup your csc and then restore it,

this way you will not loose your csc and all will work as it should with your device, like language, keyboard language, sms-mms, etc.

Remove bloatware:

Read this post to find out how you can remove all bloatware!

Fix:

Fix for the following mods:

Enable sub Symbols on Stock Samsung keyboard

Added exit menu to stock web browser

Join more unlimited contacts in the contacts

Camera shutter sound on-off

Instructions for old bootloader!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Xode:
Holding the "back" button or disable multi window in "Toggle buttons" or in system sett.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasy:
If you use philz recovery the option to fully wipe to install new Rom is enough
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andymihail:
Multi windows is disabled both in system settings and toggles. Holding the back button does nothing. And the sidebar is somehow crippled, it has no function, only pops up when I pull my finger from the left side of the screen, but has no functionality. Don't know if is from Omega or something I installed... Or maybe because is the fact that I do not have the multi window manager installed...

Anyway, I want to use another app to use that side of the screen and this sidebar is annoying.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasy:
Any 4.3 stock Rom will give you the knox bootloader and will allow you to flash newer modems. I suspect though that newer bootloaders may incorporate differences from older ones. I'm not sure though as nobody confirmed that question.

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

Yes I can partly agree because I was saying the same until recently but what would you do if you had very bad phone reception with old modem due to the old bootloader? I personally thought that it might be better to take the risk and void warranty than have an unusable phone. The next decision would be if it would be worth it buying a Samsung phone in the future if I really wish to root.

I think it's a decision that cuts both ways. My reception is good now and I don't have warranty but at least I can use my phone.

Hi,

I had the some issue (not really a problem)...

I have re-flashed the ROM again without a wipe and turned off the new Camera in Aroma.

After re-flash the new Camera app and Gallery are gone.

I don't really like it as you have more options in the stock Samsung Camera app.

Also the old Gallery app is more than OK for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] maddnessfox:
Hi, I have been using it since v10 and I love it a lot. But it seem that I am having problem with 13.2. I tried fixing it on my own for 2 days until I gave up.

My app. Puzzle and dragon japrn version does not allow us to use root phone to play it.

The app will check for 3 things.

1. Supersu.apk

2. The kernel if its stock by checking if it's secure.

3. Root access.

So in the past. What I do is rename the superuser to us.apk.

As I don't know how to changes the kernel to secure, normally I just flash back to stock kernel.

Disable root by super user app.

And I can use the app alrdy. However this update. I did everything and I just can't load my app. I even uninstall superuser. And flash to stock kernel.

Is there by any chance you would know what the problem is.

Thank you

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

My way of getting the new bootloader, and the correct modems at the same time, and getting my old rom back, was simply to:

- back up my current omega 13.2 (no selinux in Philz)

- downloaded mj5 from sammobile

- flash using Odin 3.09 (didn't tick update bl, no autoreboot, waited until pass)

- let it boot up (probably not needed, but wanted to see if I got camera firmware upgrade as some people)

- turn off and into dl mode, flashed custom recovery

- restored my backup

Everything fine and dandy.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lacmondragon:
question

if you install the rom mj7 that comes in a single file also updates the bootloader or in the archives only when separated. or had to tick the boxes but did not have all those files
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Beefheart:
I'm on the old bootloader and don't have any issues at all. I wonder if some people on the new bootloader are trying to justify their decision by continually banging on about it in an attempt to encourage others to follow suit despite there being no requirement.

Hi All,

I have looked at the install instructions for v13.2 (I am currently on v12) and I am slightly confused regarding the modems?

1. Backup your device (nadroid backup, titanium backup, efs backup ... etc) = DONE

2. Copy rom to your device = DONE

3. Flash modems (If you already have the correct modems, ignore this step): = What is the correct modem????

Power Off your device completely

Wait a little and then power on device to download mode (Power button + Home button + Volume down button)

**If you are having the old bootloader XXUB flash GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUBMH1.tar file with odin by selecting phone.

**If you are having the new bootloader XXUD flash GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUEMJ5.tar file with odin by selecting phone.

Go to Settings and make sure that modems flashed ok

This step is necessary to be done correct because XXUEMJ5 LTE modem will break your sound on old Bootloader

Is my Modem version the Baseband version? (Mine is I9505XXUBMF8), I have also done the following -
