Some users have confirmed that everything works without fullwipe .... most important thing is that you after that have WiFi and LTE,

if it does not then it is best to follow indie's instructions.....

Mobile Connection Issues

Hi Team,

I installed the stock firmware 5 times and I still have connection issues for the mobile network. Wifi works fine. 4G shows up but the actual connection to the network is indicated with the circle with a line through it. Even the 3G network is flakey at best, it connects some of the time and then the connection drops out.

I decided to install version 5.0 to see if I could overcome the issue but it has remained and I'm not sure what to do to rectify the situation.

Any ideas?

I've got a strange problem.

Mine is a international i9505 from Australia.

I upgraded to ME2 and the old Omega.

I am attempting to install omega 5.

However came across this strange problem, my Baseband Version seems locked??? I tried installing other modems and back to Stock ROM, it still thinks it is CUSTOM and the baseband version is stuck on I9505XXUAME2, any reasons?

Attempting to Restore to Stock: I9505XXUAMDE_I9505XSAAMD8_I9505DVUAMD8_HOME.tar.md5

But still thinks its custom.... I tried factory wipe and full wipe nothing works.

I've even tried to install the modem manually through here:

It's been posted by others that they had to flash the modem more then once to get it changed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] OptimalKiller:
Just to clarify the steps you have followed :-

So you followed this process. when you flashed the stock firmware did you test to see if you could get wifi working, if it failed you would need to reflash the stock rom again.

Once you have that working you should then be able to upgarde to omega without any issues.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] memphisuklf:
Followed that exactly how it is written. After flashing the stock rom I checked that LTE, Wifi and dual camera were all working, which they were and then flashed recovery and omega 5.0. Can't figure it out either can get the wifi working or the dual camera but not both.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] miodrag.cutura:
I'm soooo happy that flashing stock XXUBMEA just once had my wifi never to stop working:)

I have a question, what am I suppose to modify in build.prop to increase Play Store app compatibility, maybe a firmware version or something, just to be able to install apps as before. For example, I cannot update samsung Watch On (there might be other apps and further updates...) I mean, it will get sorted once Samsung release update to the wider public, but before that...:)

Thanks in advance!:)

Wait wait, so I need to reflash stock AGAIN after already doing it the first time installing Omega. If this is an update why do we have to reflash everything again, can't I just upgrade from 3.1?

I don't understand why there is no issue with doing this with other phones but s4 has the stupidest way to install roms. It's really frustrating, i'll backup with titanium and try to just upgrade. Not gonna wait 7hrs to download stock firmware from Hotfail.

I think the key to getting wifi and lte to work is to get everything back to official status with the stock rom.

SD card not recognized

Had same issues with my exFAT 64GB Sandisk card, ususaly after upgrading roms.

After formatting it to FAT32 (with SDFormatter); all such issues were gone (two rom updates allready with no issue).

Usually the unrecognized card was still available via PC USB (with card reader), so I backed it up, formatted to FAT32 and restored.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gnarg:
If you have ME2 modem just keep it there because on MEA modem the Service Mode (*#0011#) do not work, therefore you cannot check if you got HD Voice or enable it.

There is no differences in signal reception.

I had the MEA modem and had to flash stock ME2 to get it back, tried to flash only GSM modem but didn't change.

Flashed about 15 times so I gave up and flashed stock ME2 firmware, then MEA.

Did you change the kernel by any chance, to get your wifi working.

What I did was the following flashed stock rom, wifi did not work. Then I had to reflash stock rom again then I managed to get the wifi working.

I then opened the camera app which then upgraded the firmware on the camera.

Once that was done I then reboot my phone into Philz recovery selected the option to install new rom and flashed Omega Rom.

When I was flashing stock rom I also used an official samsung cable, not a 3rd party.

(for advanced and experienced users)

>> LONGER, BUT CLEANER OMEGA INSTALL <<

If you do not like the idea that you should install Omega over stock ROM without wiping in between, you can take little different approach. This is tested with Omega v3.0, v3.1 and v5.0 - and everything works flawlessly. :victory:

Unfortunately I can not test LTE, because there is no LTE enabled network here yet.

This probably would be completely unnecessary if Format Data option from Wipe section in TWRP worked as expected.

What you need?

- 7zip or some similar app

- stock ROM - I9505XXUBMEA_I9505OXABMEA_I9505XXUBMEA_HOME.tar.md5

- Odin flashable tar of original recovery or you can make it yourself - extract recovery.img from I9505XXUBMEA_I9505OXABMEA_I9505XXUBMEA_HOME.tar.md5 and create originalrecovery.tar with recovery.img inside

- I9505_Omega_v5.0_XXUBMEA_md5_3693A3791C0DB93347937572BFC9BFA1.zip

- copy of all apk files from data/app folder from I9505_Omega_v5.0_XXUBMEA_md5_3693A3791C0DB93347937572BFC9BFA1.zip

How?

1. Go to download mode and flash original recovery with Odin

2. Go to recovery mode and do wipe data/factory reset

3. Do wipe cache partition and wait for phone to reboot completely (until it came to initial setup and language setting)

4. Turn off the phone without finishing setup and go to download mode

5. Flash I9505XXUBMEA_I9505OXABMEA_I9505XXUBMEA_HOME.tar.md5 over Odin and wait for phone to reboot completely (until it came to initial setup and language setting)

6. Turn off the phone without finishing setup, go to recovery mode and do wipe data/factory reset

7. Do wipe cache partition and wait for phone to reboot completely (until it came to initial setup and language setting)

8. Turn off the phone without finishing setup and go to download mode

9. Flash TWRP (CWM and PhilZ should work too) over Odin

10. Go to recovery mode and flash I9505_Omega_v5.0_XXUBMEA_md5_3693A3791C0DB93347937572BFC9BFA1.zip and wait for phone to reboot completely (until it came to initial setup and language setting)

11. Turn off the phone without finishing setup and go to download mode

12. Flash original recovery with Odin

13. Go to recovery mode and do wipe data/factory reset

14. Do wipe cache partition and wait for phone to reboot completely (until it came to initial setup and language setting)

15. Finish initial setup

16. Install APK files extracted from data/app folder

17. Enjoy in rock stable and clean Omega 5.0!

Optionally you can flash custom recovery later if you need it.

I cannot get 4G (LTE) working on MEA at all, even on the stock version.

These are the steps I am taking...

1. Loading up Recovery (TWRP) and Advanced Formatting (System, Davlik, Cache, 1 more that I can't remember the name)

2. Turn off the phone and go straight to Download

3. Installing the stock rom provided by indie 2 times before restarting the phone.

Wifi works fine. 4G shows at the top and the data arrows light up but I have the circle with a bar through it indicating that it's not connecting/connected. This is on the stock rom.

I have tried loading up Omega 5.0 on top and applying the "fix" provided by Indie but it does not make a difference. I have also tried installing a modem I know to work in the past ME2, still no success.

I have reformatted the phone twice now and I am still having no luck.

so even on stock rom you cant not get 4g working is that correct? did you go into the network settings and make sure your selected LTE auto connect?

Yeah, I double checked that because when I installed Omega 3.1 it wasn't showing.

4. I checked that wifi and LTE were still working (they were)

5. I installed TWRP via Odin 3.xx

6. I jumped into recovery and installed Omega 5.0 (I did not wipe) - When it loaded up LTE and wifi were still working

I will put the rom through it's paces, but when I had it installed without the LTE working everything was running smoothly.

First time I did not have Wifi (enabling did not work)

So I flashed the stock kernel one more time (no wipe this time)

After reboot Wifi was enabled :)

If you have wifi problem, do a full wipe before flashing stock xxubmea firmware, reboot and test wifi, if not working flash it again.

Now I'll proceed to the next steps ....

(Flash TWRP Recovery , and Omega rom install)
