Hey mate. 2nd option is better but you won't be able to upgrade it through KIES or OTA. Don't worry too much as I'll keep it up to date so in future use Odin instead.

Help needed

Hi..

After a short trip away from SGS phones.. I am now back on SGS4 i9505

I did CF-Root today and now I have set up everything like I what it to be...

But...

If I flash a Pre-rooted rom now... Will I have to set up all from start again ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] malybru:
Hi,

If you flash over ,you should be fine.

For your information WiFi is not Mobile Internet. If Mobile Internet sometimes breaks from work you must set the right APN...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] joeherlev:
Hmmm.. but how to flash over?

Do I need custom recovery ?

Where to get CWM recovery?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Use Odin and just flash it. That's it.

Which apps are removed by flashing the deodexed package for UBMEA?

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9505 mit Tapatalk 4
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] oblique1:
My device is currently stuck in a bootloop with:

"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"

I've loaded up Kies and it sees my phone is there and tries to connect but will sit there for a few minutes and then says that I need to reboot the device (this doesn't help either, same every time).

I'm unable to boot my phone in to recovery mode. However I am able to boot into download mode. So I've tried flashing root and/or CWM onto it but it fails each time. As does trying to flash stock firmware (or so I believe that's what "I9505XXUBMEA_I9505OXABMEA_I9505XXUBMEA_HOME.tar" is).

I've searched and found some people suggesting that I try and flash a stock ROM through Odin, but unable to find one in a .tar or .tar.md5 format :(

I'm completely stuck now and unsure what to do. Can somebody please help me out.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Brownie2k:
Just a quick question for anyone that might know...

My phone doesn't show the LTE option in Network Mode, but my network doesn't support or have LTE at the moment... should it still show in Network Modes though?

Hi,

If you are talking about the Slim ROM,then ,there is a drop down list just below the CWM section on the first post.

Otherwise,very little is removed.

Hi,

Look in the first post:

"GT-I9505 Official Stock Packages:"

Look for "Original Stock ROM"

:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] oblique1:
Hey. Yeah I did notice that, but it's a ".zip" and I was under the impression you couldn't flash those through Odin?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Brownie2k:
I think the file you need is inside the .zip and you just extract it and flash as usual
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] oblique1:
Ahhh ok. Thanks mate. The download is taking ages from Hotfile (as usual) so I'll try it as soon as it's done. Thanks guys :)

WiFi issue, modem on i9505

Issue with no wifi is caused since now, with current roms, modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin have to be from the same package. Unfortunatelly, not always even stock roms, during odin flash, apply non-hlos.bin file.

So, this is the solution, at least for XXUBMEA revision.

Use odin to flash prerooted full odex version of XXUBMEA software from first post in this thread (file I9505XXUBMEA-PRE-ROOTED-ODEX-FULL). Watch odin during flashing. If you see both modem and non-hlos file flashed, you are done. You will have both lte/3g/gsm and wfi.

Afterwords, you can use cwm and / or odin, format system with cwm and almost everything else for flashing other versions of firmware, as long as it is from I9505XXUBMEA series, lte and wifi will remain.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Brownie2k:
I've noticed that the MEA rom says it's Multi CSC, so I want to change mine from Germany to United Kingdom, but I can't quite figure out how to do it. I tried the *#272*IMEI# and it doesn't work anymore. I've also tried the S4 CSC changers, but they too don't bring up the list of CSC's. Is there any other method to do it besides ODIN?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] fAiLOfax:
+#1234# says then "xabmea" :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] corkie1:
Sick of waiting for the OTA so am gonna flash it. Just a few questions though - on page 1 you have 4 downloads available (as below). I want to use the pre rooted rom - I guess I just need option 4. My question is do I need to flash option 2 & 3 separately or are they already included in option 4?

Second question after i flash this i was just going to do a factory reset and then clear the dalvik cache - is this correct?

Finally is there any real need to change the CSC or should I? I live in Ireland

Many thanks

gt-i9505 official stock packages

1) original stock rom

2) stock kernel

3) stock recovery

4) pre rooted rom
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Brownie2k:
I do believe the pre rooted rom actually includes the stock Kernel and Recovery in with it already. Every time I've flashed an update, my Recovery is always returned to stock.

CSC I'm not too sure about and i'm looking for how to change it too. This firmware uses the German CSC, and I want to change mine to the UK CSC, but i'm really not sure how to go about it, as all the apps out there don't seem to work with the MEA firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jba.33a:
Did you try Samsung Galaxy S / S2 / S3 CSC by Manniakk?

Needs root naturally.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Brownie2k:
Yes I've tried that, but when I click Change CSC, it asks for root, then does nothing at all.

Do I need to flash the CSC package via Odin first before I do that? I just thought with MEA being Multi CSC that the CSC codes would be there already?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jba.33a:
If you flashed that multi csc package, cscs are in there.

You need root for CSC changer. Did you flash prerooted version?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] corkie1:
Thanks for that. Is there any specific reason you want to change the CSC? I'm kinda thinking it should be fine - i think the only difference would be waiting for the German CSC to get the updates and that may or may not happen before the other regions - who knows really. I guess though instead of waiting for the update you can just get the update off Sammobile or wherever and flash away anyway so im kinda thinking the wholse CSC thing doesn't really matter?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Brownie2k:
Yeah I flashed the prerooted version. Are the multi CSC's not in that version?

If so, i'll just flash the CSC package with Odin and then use the CSC changer to change the CSC to United Kingdom. Does that sound right?

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 PM ----------

I've just read that using a UK CSC would be more beneficial to the rom and improve network/data etc.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] james_lpool:
I would be interested to know the above answer.

plus with having the german version kies will no longer support the fw, im guessing when using the uk csc it will?

Might be totally wrong but I believe csc has nothing to do with signal etc. I would imagine the only thing that effects signal is the modem.

I read somewhere someones play store has changed to German after flashing this fw. Has your's?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Cygnust:
Hi,

I have exactly the same problem as you.

came from BOG CSC and rom (bouygues france) directly to MEA pre-rooted and slimmed rom.

Tried the CSC changer app, says that SU rights are given, but nothing happens then, tried with the manual method, same.

Also tried to flash separately I9505_CSC_OXXAMDB tar file with odin, nothing happened.

As far as I understand, my csc seems to be locked to BOG ..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jba.33a:
one more suggestion - try to root again with CF Autoroot http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2219803 and then try csc changer app again...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Brownie2k:
No, my store is still English.

Everytime I try to use the Galaxy S,S2,S3 flasher it just says com.android.preconfig not found, so i'm guessing that means I have no other CSC's on my device?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] oblique1:

Have you got any instance of Kies open?

Is it saying anything about PIT file not found?

Are you running windows? Tried a different USB Port, or even right clicking Odin3.exe and running as administrator?

I'm adding the .tar.md5 file into Odin as PDA. I then made sure all Kies related process were closed via Task Manager. I am running Win7 x64. I just tried then running Odin as administrator and it made no difference.

I bought an i9505 from Hong Kong. It came with the CSC for TGY. I managed to change it to BTU for the UK. As I am in Australia, I try to get XSA, but I cannot get this.

Whenever I try to flash something in ODIN, doesn’t matter which version, it fails with the error:

boot.img

Complete(Write) operation failed

The only way to flash something if for me CWM. So I flashed Omega which works for me at the moment. I more would like to go with the stock ROM.

I am after a GT-I9505 Stock ROM for Australia (XSA), which is flashable as zip (CWM/TWRP/PhilZ flashable ZIP) like the on the first page of this post.

I have seen the Script to make ODIN flashable Roms, but I think I cannot do this :crying:

Hi all...

I have flashed the latest Pre-rooted rom for my i9505

In #1 it says that one of the good things with this Pre-rooted rom is that is can work with KIES and that it will stay orginal..

But... I have just connected my PRE-Rooted i9505 to KIES.. And it says that my device does not support updates in KIES

Have I done it wrong or ??
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] james_lpool:
I was under the impression that it would still work in kies also, but after i updated mine, kies tells me it cannot be updated either, i am assuming it's because its the german version and not the uk. i guess its a little miss leading because at the top of the front page it says you will still be able to update via ota and kies.

once the uk version is released will it be pre-rooted and added to the front page does anyone klnow?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] joeherlev:
Then I will need the Danish / Nordic version to be Pre-rooted
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Guys, KIES is rubbish and to make it work you will need to set correct CSC...

This is the latest FW and it's NOT supported yet... (too new for KIES :p) and have CSC OXABMEA (8 codes included), it was originally set to DBT..

I'm using CSC_BTU and I'm unable to upgrade through KIES because there's NO XXUBMEA for BTU yet... :p

Why you want to use KIES anyway if you have my Pre-Rooted ROM's much earlier than updates through KIES or OTA???

So if I understand it right, the Kernel is the crucial issue regarding root. With AMDF Kernel, root is working, with AMDM Kernel not. It seems, that the Root Restriction settings from Samsung are not active in AMDF Kernel. Am I right?

This means, we will need special kernels for root. Ether it can be an official Samsung Kernel without Root Restriction, or an appropriate Custom Kernel.
