Yes your right but what you say in your last comment, everything about this is repeat many many times.

When people READ the opening post (good) there are not so many problems with no sound etc.

New Bootloader

I was triying all the Sunday to get the new bootloader, without success,,,,,

I downloaded the I9505XXUEMJ7_I9505VFGEMJ6_I9505XXUEMJ7_HOME.tar and tickt in Odin 3.09 Phone Bootloader Update and flash it.

then I install recovery again and Omega V13.2, but I still have the old bootloader .....

I don't know why, I tried it at least three times, only Bootloader, with all Files, Phone, CSC, etc and nothing to do .....

I didn't do a full wipe, but just for test I should have the new bootloader now ....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] phil.o:
Well, why don't you just leave this thread? You wouldn't have to ignore all the "bad guys with their old bootloaders"!?

If the stock ROM runs as smooth as v13.2 please go and change to DjeMBeY's pre-rooted stock ROMs, they are also CWM flashable.

A very well working CWM flashable 4way reboot menu can be found here.

But if you want to stick with Omega JUST because of the Aroma installer :what:

...you're still very welcome. :)

Hello i Have I9509VJUBMG6

1 is it old or new?

2 should i flash any modem?

3 which one?

4 is there any way to backup actual modem to reflash in case anything fails?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ph3n0mII:
I have the older bootloader, and even though my wifi now has a few tiny stability issues and gsm signal is slightly lower and more fluctuating, its something very minor im prepared to live with for the time being - its better than voiding my knox warranty, and still better than using a cyanogenmod based rom with buggy gps and camera, and openRIL signal dropouts that require a full reboot to fix IMO.

(I do think though that people are misinformed about knox warranty though. In a lot of countries, blowing the knox e-fuse will not and can not void entire device warranty - samsung still have to comply with statutory warranty laws. Take this into consideration and do your research, read the relevant acts of parliament first to determine if you are protected by law and able to 'flash like a boss' and still be covered for non-self-inflicted manufacturing faults or device/component failures.

There are literally tens of thousands of (if not more) combinations of modem/router/wifi type,wifi settings etc, combined with many other factors, some undeterminable, so some people on the old bootloader will have severe problems and others with have little to none, thats just the way it is, deal with it :angel:

I will say that for me in australia, the LJ7 modem gets me 1 less signal bar, but dBm is about -30 lower and asu is abou 5 higher and 3g/h+ is far more stable in regards to data dropouts than mj5 for me despite the increased signal fluctuation.

I will also say that I get far less wifi dropouts( over 30 less per day than I previously had), better battery life, and slightly better system responsiveness with latest faux123 kernel. Stock and abyss 1.7 are a tad laggy in spots and not quite as good on battery, but not by much.

Generally I must say that im realy liking omega rom 13.2 compared to stock, and this is the longest i've stayed on a stock-based rom in the last 3 years. Keep p the great work Omega devs.:good:

It is normal to have no issues with the old bootloader. It is just that some of us accidentally have gotten the new one and now do their utmost to claim imaginary benefits and have others follow them. At least that is my impression.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Dave83:
I have installed Omega 13.2 (with old bootloader), but I have 2 problems:

1. I have counter (old counter, not Knox) set at 1, and I can't reset with Triangle Away, why? Sometimes the procedure crashes, sometimes i have a soft brick. Omega 13.2 don't use a stock kernel?

2. I always have a soft reboot on pin input screen. When the pin input screen reappears, then all is well. Why?

Have you noticed improvement in signal reception afterwards? I'm trying to do the same now but Odin 3.04 crashes with invalid hash error.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasy:
Ok guys, can I have some help now? After flashing the stock ROM and rebooting, I can still see all my applications as if nothing was wiped although it seems that systemui icons like battery are changed. I also see Knox in download mode but the phone freezes with all apps FCing. Is that normal? I insalled Philz recovery twice and I can't enter recovery due to the message I posted above.

Am I doing something wrong?

I flashed the stock ROM as [MENTION=5514369]SherlockHolmes2013[/MENTION] adviced: ROM in AP, unchecked reboot, checked update bootloader and it finished ok.

I flash recovery in AP again and it finishes ok.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SherlockHolmes2013:
So why did you uncheck reboot????????????

only thing that shouldn't be checked is Partition,

If you can get into recovery I told you to do a FULL WIPE of 13.2, got that?\\

This is my last message to you,

Oh and one more thing, As soon as you do the FULL WIPE, I repeat FULL WIPE go in and activate developers options and tick the debugging mode, and then go to security and tick the 'Unknown sources' box,

Finally after signing into your Google account, all your apps should automatically start installing themselves from the store,

Arggggh, this is so tiresome, I hope you understand what I am saying,

Good luck
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] leon0602:
just install system info or simply enter in download mode: if you can read knox somewhere then you are in ther new bootloader. Otherwise you are in the old one

Auto reboot doesn't really matter. It's just there to control if it will auto reboot after finish or just leave you there to see the messages.

I'm sorry but it was the first time I do this with stock ROM and the instructions I read so far was that only F-Reset Time should be checked. Recovery gets flashed but it seems that waranty check restricts it from entering.

The file I used is I9505XXUEMJ7_I9505VFGEMJ6_I9505XXUEMJ7_HOME.tar.

Maybe it's newer BL with harder security?

It's all right if you don't want to help, you don't have to anyway. I dont' want to spam the threat with my problem but I'm afraid my phone is dead now. Could someone point me somewhere that I can get some help?

Your phone is NOT dead if you can get into recovery or download mode,

Do search in the forums. and READ, all the answers are here, Thats how I learned,

I told you to do FULL WIPE but you seem to want to not listen,. Again, if you can get into recovery you must do a FULL WIPE.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasy:
I can't get in recovery
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SherlockHolmes2013:
you can't get into download either? because if thats the case your phone is dead,

As long as you can get into download you can fix this,

Flash the CWM or TWRP recovery in Odin.,

You will have to find the .tar file , its here somewhere in XDA,

Search for 9505 TWRP recovery, and read and download the .tar file and flash that in Odin under PDA (not CP),
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasy:
That's what I'm saying. I can get in download mode, I flash my recovery but then it doesn't let me enter recovery. I get the red message I posted above that recovery is seriously......

Reflash just the bootloader alone (BL)

I'll try but the bootloader updated just fine because right after I finished rom flash I could see Knox 0x0 and after I flashed recovery I saw 0x1.

I suspect that my rom has MJ7 BL and this could lock the flash of custom recovery
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SherlockHolmes2013:
Well it worked for me, but I didn't flash MJ7 I flashed MJ3 the second leak of the official 4.3 so I have the MJ 3 bootloader which is the same as the MJ5, (according to Samsung) I have KNOX 0x1 also

You cannot change that now, its set for life

What I would do is FIRST flash the latest CF-Chainfire version for rooting.

You MUST root first before trying to flash a custom recovery,

Do search for latest CF-Chainfire for Galaxsy S4 9505 and download and fflahs via Odin,

Then you can flash recovery,

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasy:
You don't need root to flash recovery. When I first got my phone I installed Philz recovery on Stock and from there I installed Omega which was already rooted.

Anyway, It seems that I can install TWRP which I never used but in Philz I can't enter, it just goes straight to OS after boot. However, my backup is in Philz recovery which is CWM. In my phone I can't factory reset because everytyhing FCs as soon as it boots and it's unusable.

I'll try to work it out from twrp,maybe reinstall omega and then see what i can do but I saw some other security blocking errors which make me suspicious about MJ7

good friends I dared to install the new bootloader but choose to install the new rom mj7 and i do not need to install anything more moden or just install the recovery and omega flashe 13.2 and am impressed with its operation, more signal loss than pleased nothing to the time, great everything right temperature.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] leon0602:
I get trouble all the time to enter in recovery with three buttons combo. Usually I try many time (same thing with TWRP or CWM), pull out the battery and try again. Then, finally I'm in recovery. Not any trouble using the extended restart menù (when you're already in the custom rom obviously)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasy:
My friend I'm sorry for having to say this now but although I apreciate the fact that you try to help, even though with a bad manner, most of your comments are irrelevant.

Now, I understand that you have managed to do a few things but that doesn't mean that this is the secret formula for everything to work and if someone uses a different combination it won't work.

Now, please, I have an 8 year experience with rooting/jailbreaking,etc. I'm not in anyway a noob as you have believed so take one thing from me. Those **** just HAPPEN. they happen to anyone just out of luck. You may try to do the same thing that you did last week and find the same **** as me now so please, don't be so harsh.

I asked for help not because I paniced or anything, I know how to flash although this was the first time I attempted this type of thing and as I say I just asked for some extra help because I was running short of time, I have to wake up early in the morning to go to work and in this case ANY help was apreciated. I can fix the **** on my own but extra help is apreciated. I mean come one. I see this issue that may be unique. I don't know but I feel that others don't have the same due to the MJ7 or MJ8 later BL and this, I'll know tomorrow and others, including yourself may need help from me tomorrow. I noticed staff that noone ever mentiond before.

I did everything as I should. Those **** you mention about reboot in Odin and wipe data are not so important and definitely not the cause of my issue. Now as I said, I'm not noob, I'm an engineer myself, I can fix this but I just needed some extra help in order to finish earlier and get some sleep. It's too late, it's morning already here although evening for most of you. I spent the night already so please do me a favor and don't help any more. Most of your answers are irrelevant anyway. I'll fix this by the morning even if I lose my sleep and I'll drink a few coffees in your name. No bad feelings for you, just friendly advice. Don't be so harsh, tomorrow you may need help from me or from anyone in here. I apreciate your help so far, please don't help any more, I don't need it.

---------- Post added at 12:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 AM ----------

Excuse me,

but the guide indie wrote doesn't say you have to install the bootloader. So, don't. :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasy:
I finally fixed my phone and everything is back to normal although I lost my night sleep. I wasn't doing anything wrong after all but every single thing was falling last night. At the end, even when everything flashed correctly, the problem was that the sequence to hard-enter recovery has changed with new bootloader and I couldn't enter just with the standard key combo. The message showing the reason that warranty is void was exiting recovery and then I had to press volume+ power only fast. Right after that I was ok.

I need one clarification from other users with new BL. Do you all see this message with red and yellow letters when you boot and when you enter recovery? This message shows the warranty bit which is actually the reason why your warranty is void. If nobody else has it (I haven't heard anyone mentioning it at least), then I suspect that it's new for MJ7 bootloader and this might have been what killed my time.

Also in about I see "secure boot status": type: Samsung.

Finally, my modem now shows MJ7 as well so I didn't touch it, neither the LTE or GSM but I'll have to make some comparisons in reception and then decide if I should downgrade it to be compatible with my Rom or leave it like that. I think it would be better to downgrade so that it goes with the Rom.

Modem / Cellular issues

Hi All

I tried v13.1 (4.3) on my i9505 and i had issues where after 1 min or so i would lose all cellular connectivity (No network icon)

This would also occur if i locked the screen and returned.

I found that airplane toggle sometimes got it back but not always.

I then rolled back to v12 and it was all fine again. Then i updated to v13.2 and this time i followed the directions (not my usual style) and updated the modem using the additional updates before updating the ROM but had the same issue.

Any news on this one?

Did i do something wrong?
