I have been trying to flash XXUBMEA as apparently thats vodafone, also this one I9505XXUDMGG_I9505VFGDMG3_I9505XXUDMGG_HOME.tar.md5 which is from sammobile which is sposed to be for vodafone, none of them work, they either get stuck on boot or WIFI does not work. So close to just buying a new S4 from ebay but they are just a little out of my price range, hence the second hand option
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] phil.o:
If you already flashed one of the newer firmwares (MGA onwards) then you shouldn't be able to downgrade/flashing older firmwares (MGA and backwards) anymore due to the new bootloader, right?! :screwy:

Just try MGA...you can only win now... :p

Changing CSC

Hi there, I installed the following FW

I9505XXUAMDM_I9505OXXAMDB_I9505XXUAMDM_HOME.tar

On my Vodafone UK phone. It's gone on fine but when I connect to Kies I see the CSC is still on MDB (VOD). What's the best thing to change it to, and how do I go about changing it? Because this phone is new, I was just curious to know if any of the procedures or settings have changed.

I read this section from the OP

But don't understand what it means by you must reboot in to recovery? Does that just mean factory reset, or do you have to go in to debug mode or something again? Can someone please clarify.

Thanks

Hi, flashed MDM succesfully, no wipe, Status was not official.

So i did full wipe, after that Status official.

Next Reboot still official.

But now its again gone, NO more official.

What to do now, dont like to try full wipe again.

Thanks for answer.

Guys, what "secret" code to use in order to see the current CSC code and if needed, to change it? I use *#0011# and after that went to submenue a found only that my CSC code is 0. What is this?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Ben81:
*#1234#

SuperSU will pop up first, just press back to see the details you want.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
First of all, you need to UNPACK all files!!!! They are .tar.md5!!!!!

You can leave AutoReboot & F.Reset Time ticked for all 3 files but DO NOT FLASH THEM at the same time!!

Flash it one by one...

I do not recommend FREEZING as yor SYSTEM can reset to CUSTOM after a while!!!

You just FREEZE 1 file but there is 4 more working in the background and causing problems....

Better is to DELETE them all!! :)

CSC-OXXAMDB is a MultiCSC Official package and CSC-VOD is included. You don't have to change anything!!

Use app from post #1, CSC CHANGER for S2/S3 , run it with root permissions and you will see list of all CSC codes available in this package. Green dot will indicate your current CSC and it should be VOD. :)

Regarding reboot into recovery, it's necessary as only Recovery can activate and apply new CSC, you will see message : "CSC ..... applied" or something like that :)

Which ROM have you used???

I recommend HYBRID (MDM/MDN) or KNOX-FREE as the other ones have Knox on board and it messing with DEVICE STATUS...

any light to shed at all ?

i want it rooted again and running theese awesome roms with injected root, but worried to flash now incase goes tits up again...

DO NOT use any of Custom Recoveries (yet) as they are RUBBISH and can damage your phone if you wipe it all from recovery...

Flash one of my ROMs and you will be OK though ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] myname70:
Thanks. That is exactly my question - how to see what is my crrent CSC (ex.ITV) without using CSC changer program? Is there any "secret" codes? There is nothing in the first post about this
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
NO, because MultiCSC are shown differently... SINGLE CSC you can check with *#1234# but MultiCSC only with this app........

What's your problem??? Don't click on INSTALL and you can see your CURRENT CSC, if you want to change it, choose one and press INSTALL..

I'm getting a FAIL No Pit file error in Odin when trying to flash now no matter what ROM I use..

Also, when I connect the phone to KIES it now only shows around just 700mb free space on the Internal SDCARD.

I just want to flash to complete OOB as if I just bought the phone but I keep getting the FAIL no pit error no matter what I do.

I cannot even wipe cache from within recovery. It comes up with android and "error" then reboots.

Not sure if it is related to the loss of space? Help!

Edit: I got a feeling the loss of space is due to a OTA/KIES software updates that has downloaded, tried and failed on several occasions to install. Anyone know where OTA/KIES downloads the s/w update files to on the phone.

Are you actually powering off your device first, or rebooting via the power menu?

Certain partitions (eg. modems) do not seem to flash properly in Odin unless you are powering off first.

Any by the way, if's VOL-DOWN+POWER to get into download mode, not VOL-DOWN+HOME
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] germinus:
Sorry been a long day, couldn't remember which it was, figured I had a 50% chance of getting it right!

I have flashed so many times in the last 24 hours I can't really remember which way I have been doing it, I would say I have both powered down and via reboot power menu as there are times where it wont even get past boot up so I have no choice but to power down and do it that way, thinking about it I can't remember flashing a stock from that does not get stuck on boot up, seems to be only custom roms work, but even those still have no sound.

I will add that I always do a FULL wipe via recovery before I flash, but dont power down and then go into download mode, I tend to just reboot from recovery and go to download

Hey dj. I flashed mi1 via cwm and after some bootloops (i would guess because of xposed framework) it is running very stable now.

But what i just recognised is my battery life is so good atm. While I had 50% down in five hours with mg5 it is now 5 % in 5 hours.

But I don't connet to all my accounts now (5 mail accounts, whatsapp, Facebook, g+, hangouts etc) so i wonder if this caused the high battery drain.

Is this right? Does battery suffer under many accounts?

And if so, is there something i can do about this?

edit: I have problems in stock email apk... I cannot change notification sound. it always crashes. =( cleared data and also dalvic cache.

GOT IT!!!!.... I have sound + WIFI and complete use of the phone! It may seem like all is working but until I have tested it for 24 hours I am not going to get my hopes up just yet as for some strange reason the phone booted up in a foreign language which it has never done before, not to mention the install of a custom rom over a stock, without doing a wipe of any sort.

Will be watching for lag and random shut downs for the next 24 hours but atleast it "seems" as tho its fixed!

Opposite for me. Worst battery perf ever plus phone is hot for every type of usage. Looks like kernel issue for me, CPU is not scaling down (max or deepsleep, nothing else, checked after 6h as no more juice in battery). Even low power charger cant charge it if all running (e.g. waze with gps+3g+ screend on highest)

I can't go back to mga as SD unmounting with it (reflashing multiple times did not help).

Stay on MGA, don´t flash newer ROM with locked Bootloader so you never come back!

There is nothing new at the new Firmwares except they prevent you from going back to older ROM´s!

They have also this KNOX (Samsung build in Security APK) issue that might bring you in trouble.

Other issues were reported but I don´t care, so I don´t remember what exactly. ;)
