how did you get 4.3 to install proper, mine keeps saying mines a custom device now

---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

when I downloaded the firmware online tonight

and I followed the tutorial of how to install it, it said to click on

◾Click on ‘PDA’ and select file with ‘CODE’ in its name.

◾Click on ‘Phone’ and select file with ‘MODEM’ in its name. Ignore this step if there is no such file.

◾Click on ‘CSC’ and select file with CSC’ in its name. Ignore this step if there is no such file.

◾Click on ‘PIT’ and select the .pit file. Ignore this step if there is no such file

but none of these files came in the download for the firmware, so I just clicked on bootloader in ODIN to install the firmware

could this be the reason my device status is set on custom

and does anybody know how I can get it back to offical
[Galaxy S 4 General] riccardoroma:
i really like this 4.3 official Rom. I LOVE Knox that is reallt helpfull to keep my business account separated from my normal session of the phone. Battery more or less the same as per 4.2.2 maybe is managing a bit longer but i don't care. Really smooth. My device status says official and knox warranty is 0x0 so no problem so far even installing via Odin. Waiting for a root just to disable few stock app that i don't need but i must say that i can stay even without root for now. 4.3 is generally better as is it already on my Nexus 7. What to say.. so far.. so good

I've installed with Micro sd still in the slot. After the first boot i got a lot of warning because is was coming from a prerooted rom with titanium, supersuer ecc... so i had to make a full wipe. But then everything went smoothly
[Galaxy S 4 General] arnie2012:
how did you install 4.3

where did you download it from and do you have a tutorial
[Galaxy S 4 General] riccardoroma:
hello, i've downloaded from hotifule taking the link on the first post and then following the instruction always on the first post (Reboot in download mode and flash the file through odin, simple as that).
[Galaxy S 4 General] arnie2012:
yes I downloaded the zip file form hotfile

i used odin to flahs it to my mobile,

now did you click on the bootloader then select the update file

as all tutorials im seeing tell you click, PDA, CSC etc but none of them files come in the download
[Galaxy S 4 General] thatbimmerkid:
im so confused!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mittaa:
If you have a S4 with old bootloader the short answer is NO!

As far as I understand flashing 4.3 and you can only go back to some 4.2.2 that came with the new the bootloader!

Rooting or flashing custom recovery will trigger KNOX :(

If you have the old bootloader I would advice to stay with 4.2.2 and wait a couple of month until dev's might come up with some solution how to get root and custom recovery, without getting KNOX 0x1 (bad).

In my opinion the difference between 4.2.2 and 4.3 isn't that big :cool:
[Galaxy S 4 General] Lucky_Leonardus:
Did you actually read the first page of this topic???

Instructions For Flashing Firmware:

- Extract (unzip) the firmware file

- Download Odin3 v3.09 (From here or here)

- Extract Odin .ZIP file

- Open Odin3 v3.09

- Restart phone in download mode (Press and hold Home + Power + Volume down buttons)

- Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin

- Add I9505XXUEMJ5_I9505OXAEMJ5_I9505XXUEMJ5_HOME.tar.md 5 to AP

- Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked

- Click start button, sit back and wait a few minutes.

- If you encounter any issues with the firmware (Any FC, Bootloop etc)

- Boot into recovery mode (Home+power+vol up)

- Choose to wipe/factory reset. (THIS WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA INCLUDING YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD!)

- Then choose reboot and you should be good to go!
[Galaxy S 4 General] ksr007:
Yes! You can go back to MGG and above with no problem. Can't back to MH1 or older.

Extracted your file !
[Galaxy S 4 General] HaTrED_:
Recovery has nothing to do with it (I'm almost sure!).

If it happens it's probably related with your root method or costum kernel...(?)

So has anyone actually used the root De La vega method and successfully rooted their i9505, with this stock 4.3 firmware, and not tripped the knox security?
[Galaxy S 4 General] DjeMBeY:
What are you talking about??!!! Leaked 4.3 was reversible but Official 4.3 is NOT!!!!!!! You CAN'T go back to 4.2.2 at ALL!! :p

TESTED! :) :( I'm stuck with it for gooood so please read more and don't give incorrect advises... :p

So I flashed official DBT4.3 firmware.......STUPID IDEA!!

How on earth do I get a custom recovery installed and go back to CM?????

I flash PhilZ recovery in Odin, it says passed, but when I try to boot in recovery mode I get "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" error message and it wont let me.

I am scared I'm stuck on STOCK Samsung firmware forever.

Can anyone please help?

Anyone know if reflashing stock official 4.3 firmware trigger knox to 0x1?

I updated the firmware via Kies but I think something is not right so I want to reflash it again with odin. Will it trigger the knox?

Thank you

Is there a way to downgrade back to 4.2.2 from this rom?

When you flash to official rom through odin will not trigger any knox.

I know this is the 9505 thread but im just curious if you guys are also experiencing choppy browsing on dolphin browser. Its the only thing that bothers me as far as the 4.3 update is concerned. :( even typing text on dolphin is very slow now.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dktblade:
Just download and follow instruction on first page. Only one PA file. That's all. Very easy
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dean-xXx:
I don't use it, but if it's nothing wrong with you installed ROM, means is compatibility problems between the app and 4.3, if this is the problem they will update the app shortly to fix it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dryvadeum:
Does anyone think it'll be possible to reset the knox counter back to 0x0 in the near future?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Abu-khulzat:
Try latest TWRP recovery, it's working for me with no issues on official 4.3

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

Why everyone is bothered with custom system and Knox status? I flashed official 4.3 and rooted using cf auto root. Everything is working well. The device is snappier. The only problem is restoring apps using titanium. To make it work, just use this command in terminal after each restore:

su

restorecon -R -v /data/data
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dryvadeum:
Does that trip the knox counter?

[Galaxy S 4 General] arnie2012:
I finally have sorted it

I have jellybeans 4.3 with official status etc

But one problem. The camera as not updated does anybody know why this is
[Galaxy S 4 General] zackwire:
How you did it?

Enviado de meu GT-I9505 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 General] arnie2012:
Well it was weird

Obviously I downloaded the official 4.3 firmware and flashed via odin but I clicked bootloader ( this must of been what triggered the custom status)

Anyway I downloaded triangle away and ran it but it seemed to not have an effect

Then I re-flashed the rim but this time in doing clicked PDA, (still custom status)

So I wiped the cache etc in download mode ( no effect)

then I did a factory reset about 2x and that seems to have done it.

I'm sure that's the order I did it all in but I may be a bit wrong with the order

But all official now I just need find out why the camera hasn't updated.

and re download all my apps when I get home on my wifi

O I think before the 2nd factory reset also uprooted.

Due to the factory reset iv lost all my pics what was on the phone. I know it may be an easy answer but does anybody know if I can get them back somehow. I know their is that many options to sync your data with that many apps or online services. Does anybody know if maybe my pics may have synced with something and I can retrieve them that way
[Galaxy S 4 General] seco2004:
How you were able to root using CF Root? I'm trying,Odin says PASS, but the device it's not rooted, How you did it?

I was able to root flashing the zip CF Root file with CWM custom recovery! Just needed to download the Super SU app from Play for it to reappear on the app drawer. Device seems properly rooted for now, lets wait to see how it behaves.
[Galaxy S 4 General] zackwire:
Solved mine just wiping cache... Now it's all official and I can see my know status at least.

[Galaxy S 4 General] zackwire:
Same happened to me... Don't panic.

Flash the room trough odin again, wipe data and cache and everything should work fine. If your status still shows custom, wipe cache again.

[Galaxy S 4 General] ant987:
For me is great! The phone is definetely smoother than before, however there still are some lags!

I'm personally completely blown away by battery! It's incredibly amazing!
[Galaxy S 4 General] seco2004:
Installed the ROM for a couple of hours now and I have to say that the phone seems smoother, and and the battery performance is better too! The only thing annoying me a little is the "your wifi connection is unstable" notification that comes up when the signal is not too strong, but it does not affect the navigation at all so I don't mind it that much.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ongbac:
One thing that really bothers me that I cant open notifications from the lock screen... Like someone texts me via FB Messenger and before I just had to slide down the notification bar and tap on the messege and it unlocks the phone and opens the chat window. Now I have to swipe to unlock the phone, and open the app T_T

[Galaxy S 4 General] DjeMBeY:
Sorry mate, I've explained in details what's going on, and that my ROM's WILL trip KNOX flag if you had MJ5 installed already...

Bootloader from MJ5 has been secured on higher level and from now on, first time ever, it DOES check system.img.ext4 signature/hash!!

In one word, we're all screwed!! Nothing and I repeat, Nothing can be done to Root new FW without tripping the flipping flag! :p

Thank you Sammy for screwing us over and bye-bye..
[Galaxy S 4 General] Brotuck:
Yeah just read your FP. Well time to move over to AOSP i guess
[Galaxy S 4 General] seco2004:
Here's what I did: flashed the ROM, tried flashing the CF Root with Odin but didn't work. Flashed latest cwm recovery and flashed cf root through cwm recovery. I can post the links later if you need, but just Google em quick and you shouldn't be fine.

Unlike the leaked one, NOT possible with the official 4.3 at the moment, and may never be unless some developer comes up with a magic !

Hi all,

I just flashed this ROM coming from Jama Google Edition... it all went fine but after a few hours I started to get boot loop (until I pulled the battery out) even after a full wipe/cache..

After a few "wipes" I managed to boot it up, but I am not sure wether it will happen again or not. has someone experienced something like this?

Thank you

I dont think you can, since this is i9505 version while the asia is i9500 :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] xarfrost:
Yes, thanks. Surprised me whenever I turn on my Wifi and available networks popup instantly without scanning. Turned it off already, thanks again. Even if it was on, battery life was still good. But I thought it was the Bluetooth LE, not the wifi. xD

Titanium Backup

Hello all,

I've installed this ROM, I flashed the CF-Autoroot and CMW recovery.

I am trying to restore my apps with TitaniumBackup but every app that I restore gives me a Force Close after, is there any way to fix it?

I am trying to restore only user apps and nothing from system.,,,

Thank you in advance
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mr Anderson:
After having read earlier reports that TB was fixed, I have discovered from bitter experience that it is not. The only way I've found to retain app functionality is a fresh installation of the app and no restoration of data. Until TB release a work around I believe we're stuck.

This whole linux enforcing thing and Samsung's sudden security lockdown has been nothing but a nightmare for me, and the sooner I can find an alternative device from a less evil manufacturer the happier I'll be (actually I doubt that - there's always something to gripe about... :) )
