Jup roms work good for now but when we cant flash a kernel or modem via cwm we would still be needing odin/heimdall to flash these partitions.

Since i am one of the suckers who has a locked one this is no option for me...

Keeping in mind there will be more users with a device state like mine, i will not release a ROM before these issues are fully resolved
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] berju:
Hello, thanks for all your job. I would like install your rom so i have few question.

First what i do on my phone before.

I've a stock ORANGE rom with MDD firmware

I install CWM to make a nandroid backup and do it

I root with autoroot method

So i've counter et custom mode

I use official status mode to back to official

use triangle away to reset counter

and back to stock recovery

All is ok after factory reset

Now i'm looking to install the rom, so my questions :

I've MDD i flash directly on it or i need to flash stock ME2 to have modem ?

The rom is fully fonctionnal ? NFC, wifi and LTE

I'm french i need to reset CSC for LTE ( how i check is correct ) ?

If i understand it's not possible to have custom recovery and status official with counter to 0 ?

thanks for yout help and great job.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Here you go hate, it's Stock Kernel+Recovery, open in Odin as PDA.

http://d-h.st/spk

You can flash it on top of your current ROM, it's fully functional, if you have any issues, perform FACTORY DATA RESET.. ;)

Good job ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] radiobicho:
Hi. This rom looks like perfect. I just got my S4 unbranded, sim free. Will i have any issue concern LTE (4G) if i flashed it? Wich one you advice me to flash? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Magic_Knight:
Using an old kernel on a new ROM is simply a nonsense to me :rolleyes:

Who cares of the Official status after all... I would prefer a pre-rooted rom with the same kernel of the stock one.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Feel free to use ANY KERNEL you want...........

You are getting "old" one as default because the "new" one is locked and can't be rooted (yet)...

We already have few custom kernels so keep the deodexed ROM and flash new kernel and recovery if you don't care about your warranty..

good luck
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Magic_Knight:
As far as I know a Kernel is made to work with a certain system version, using an older kernel on a newer system may lead to unexpected results (I.E. the red pixels). Since warranty is void from the moment you install a modified rom (even if its kernel status is "official") wouldn't it be better to use a "non official" kernel based on the latest one ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
First of all, Your Warranty is NOT Void if you use my ROM's , that's the BIGGEST reason why I'm using STOCK Kernel&Recovery....

TO KEEP IT OFFICIAL !!!! Your binary counter is untouched....

As I've told you, flash Custom kernel ( it takes 4 seconds... ) and you are done!!

TAKE IT or LEAVE IT....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Magic_Knight:
Ok, if warranty is still intact using a rooted rom then I presume using an old kernel is the only choice to keep it original :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
BINGO!!!

Thank you for understanding :)

I'm working on it and hopefully, one day we will get pre-rooted Official ROM with the latest Kernel on-board..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] topcat07:
Look forward to that day djembey :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Magic_Knight:
Thanks for the effort you're putting in it. Do you think it is possible to unlock a protected kernel and still keep its status "official" ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Me too!!! :D

Hmmm... I'm testing new way and it looks promising... Fingers crossed :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reservin:
Is this latest XXUAME2 from UK?

I am using stock unbranded AU firmware and dock is not customisable then I found this ROM!

So this is rooted ROM but status will stay on NORMAL right? Just in case if I need to claim warranty.

I had most of S series and flashed custom rom, but this S4 is first Australian phone so I do not really want to use custom rom YET =)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] weasle1uk:
Looking forward to it. Im going to remove most of my stock ring tones. The notification alert tones might cop it aswell lol..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Yes, Rooted and Official at the same time, can be also un-rooted with 1 click... ;)

enjoy
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reservin:
Thank you very much!! So its UK ROM right?

Ah, one more thing. Do I need to factory reset to flash this rom? Is HD voice is only difference between official and modified?

Sorry about many questions =D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
It's Not UK, it is Unbranded with Multi CSC included.

Original is completely untouched (pre-rooted only)

There's 2 modified versions, deodexed Slim and odexed... both of them have HD Voice enabled as standard....

Deodexed can be easily modded though.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reservin:
Oh right. Thanks. I will grab original one then, since I am not sure about whether Vodafone AU supports HD Voice or not:good:

I flashed a lot of different country ROMs before and I am still not sure what does CSC do. It is off-topic but since Multi CSC reminds me :confused:

Thank you for awesome ROM. Downloading now!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bladimir:
Sorry for newbie question, but as much talk about CSC in this thread, I couldn't find info if my CSC is in this multi CSC package of yours.

If this is not much trouble for you, can you provide a list of CSC included?

Thank You very much for all your effort!

Still on stock ...

Model: GT-I9505 (4.2.2)

XXUAME2

CSC: VFGAMDC
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Well, CSC is a Customer Sales Code... . Google will tell you more.... ;)

Don't worry about HD Voice as from now on, it can be activated at any time from Service Menu (*#0011#)

You can check your CSC configuration @ http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DeGozaru:
Wasn't having a fun time on the unofficial Cyanogenmod Nightly thats been bopping about for a while now so I flashed the Deodexed XXUAME2 ROM with little issue. Had a slight problem where it wouldn't boot after loading the splash screen, but a factory restore from stock recovery sorted that.

I have a different issue now in that I don't seem to have any mobile data network available at all. I've checked that mobile data is enabled from the network settings, which it is, but it still isn't working.

Wi-Fi works fine, so I'm making do with that at the moment, but any suggestions to get this working would be greatly appreciated.

I assume it may be as simple as flashing a mobile zip or something perhaps?

Thanks

-- Edit

My bad guys, I obviously hadn't checked all possible avenues of fault and managed to resolve this issue by myself.

Turns out that the ROM doesn't incorporate any other APN setting sfurther than a singular preference for TalkTalk mobile. I found and added mine (Vodafone Contract) saved and now have perfectly working mobile data. In case anybody else needs the settings for Vodafone, they can be found here: http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Samsung-Galaxy-S-Series/IMPORTANT-CORRECT-APN-settings-for-Contract-Internet-and-MMS/td-p/1084709

I believe that I've read somewhere that using Titanium Backup will result in the Device Status changing to Custom. Could I please get this confirmed?

Also, what other forms of modifications will result in Device Status changing to Custom besides using custom ROM and custom Recovery?

hmmm.. I hate to hijack your post, but is it simply by having TB that makes the changing to "Custom" or using it? The reason I asked is when I flashed this, my status was Official at first then after some time it became custom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] weasle1uk:
I have used titanium backup also removed stock apps, videos, ringtones and notifications using ES File explorer. Even edited my build.prop. Still on Official :D

Could you please also just post the Kernel? So we don't have to flash the full ROM again. Much appreciated
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Hmmm.... I'm not sure if it works this way... because if you flash the latest kernel on top of previous version, you can lose root access and then you will have to root it with NEW CF...

Download this kernel (ME2) and try :)

thank you for your work djembey! will you be hosting the DL in android host though? I cannot DL through Hotfile so I asked :(

and I am ignorant I know, but what are the new "things" in the updated kernel? :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lulabby:
Hey Djembey,

Big thanks to you, just flashed the slim version one, works great.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
I can't upload the OFFICIAL ROM as it's too big , Android Host accepts files only up to 1.5 GB... That's why I'm using Hotfile (max 2GB per file)

sorry for any inconvenience

I'm happy for you!!

Hit the Button and you are welcome :)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lulabby:
Oh I have a question, I flashed the slim version on top of the old full ME2 rooted rom, but it seems few bloatwares are still there such as flipboard, tripadvisor?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Factory data reset will clean it all up... or you can simply uninstall it all.

They are not system apps anymore.

All ROMs can have HD Voice activated from Service Menu.

It's very simple and it takes no time to do it.

NO, Slim is available to download from fast server (Android Host)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reservin:
Off the topic but I was curious. Is it unless installing custom recovery mode, it stays at official? Custom recovery is that changes status to custom?

BTW Im downloading new updated ROM!

Thanks for your work =D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jus71n:
And flashing as PDA sorts the kernel as well,?

Sorry for my stupidity, new android user here.

From what you put earlier in the tread you are using 3minitframework, but looking at it you need cwm to install it, erm how does that happen? And which is working properly

Model: GT-I9505 (4.2.2)

PDA: XXUAME2

PHONE: XXUAME2

CSC: OXXAMDB (MultiCSC - 31 Codes)

Kernel: 3.4.0-526204 (02.05)

Build Date: 02.05.2013

Changelist: 526204

Original Stock ROM: Download (Hotfile)

Stock Recovery: Downloads: <<< Hotfile >>> or <<< Android Host >>>

Pre-Rooted ROM: Downloads: <<< Hotfile >>> or <<< Android Host >>>

Is it the pre-rooted rom I want from this list?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reservin:
The last one is pre-rooted rom and I believe PDA includes kernel as well
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] samuelson:
if i was to flash just the kernel me2, do i flash as pda in odin or from recovery?

sorry if this stupid question?

was gonna be the guinea pig and test flashing kernel over top of old rom and see if it keeps root.

thanks all
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Use Odin and open it as PDA .. let us know how it went..

Before you do this, make sure you have the LATEST su binaries and SuperSU installed...

Good luck ;)

It will stay Official until you flash CUSTOM Kernel or Recovery or both... ;)

It contains latest kernel!! ;)

I've flashed custom recovery, installed 3Minit and then flashed Stock recovery, my phone is fully modded and Official at the same time!! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] starbucks2010:
Djembey,

Just a retoric question: lets say I have to return my phone for repair; if I have your ROM installed and I use TA to reset the flashing counter to 0, then to flash through Odin the stock ROM for returning it. But, if I flash the stock ROM, my flashing counter will increase to 1 and I cannot use anymore the TA to reset it to 0. Kind of going in circle, only if I miss something.

Best regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] reservin:
If I want to remove some bloatwares with pre-rooted official ROM, Can I open the pda with winzip or something and delete only few bloatwares that I dont need?

I could just download modified one but I dont think I will be needing deodexed since I am not going to use any theme..?

Always thanks for quick reply!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Hehe, mate, you've messed it all up....

If you use my pre-rooted ROM, you DON'T have to use TA because it's all "OFFICIAL", binary counter will NOT be increased!!

Same thing apply to STOCK ROM's , they DON'T affect your counter or device status...

To un-root, you will have to just click once and you are done, (there is an option in SuperSU settings - UNROOT)

Install ROM then install File Manager ,set System partition as Writable, go to /system/app and delete whatever you want... or there is a new app, automatic bloatware remover or something like this but I haven't use it so can't really comment ;)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jus71n:
WOW, That was easy enough now running latest pre rooted firmware/kernel SLIM. Offcial status. Thanks djembey

So from your last reply, I install CWM (which one is best), then 3minit, then reflash SLIM pre rooted for mods & official status.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
NO, if you are using latest SLIM, install CWM (any latest build) , flash 3Minit, make sure it works and then flash STOCK RECOVERY.

There's a chance that you will have to perform Factory Data reset to get Official Status back, but no worries , 3Minit will be there!!! :)

Best way to remove bloaty apps....? Also I take it the ROM I installed is OK on my UK phone.. as States Germany.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Yes, it's OK for UK and for any part of the world ;)

This ROM is Unbranded and have loaded MultiCSC, check it with app from Google Store (CSC changer for S3, it works fine on S4) and see what CSC you have, should be BTU (Open UK) if not simply choose BTU from the list and Install. IT WILL COMPLETELY FORMAT your phone!!

For Bloatware I'm using simple app called Bloat free :) Works very well :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
OP updated, Modified ROM is Online!!

I've fully tested it and works like charm. Newest Modem included, HD VOICE is enabled on ALL NETWORKS,

If someone want to change CSC please use this app: Samsung Galaxy S2/S3 CSC

WARNING: F.Reset will be performed automatically and It'll FORMAT INTERNAL SD as well!!

After using this app you MUST reboot into RECOVERY for the changes to take place.

Don't worry if you see some errors in recovery, it's NORMAL and it WORKS perfectly! TESTED!! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] n0ble:
Thanks. I think I may hold off a bit as it's an older version?

My phone is DF.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Haha, good one :D

Both builds MDF&MDE are nearly the same! :)

Big changes in new build MDM but is Impossible to root this build!! (so far...)

It's up to you but my I9505 had MDF installed out of the box, now I'm using the Modified version with HD VOICE and new modem and ROM BASE is the same.. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] n0ble:
Ok may give it a go.

I guess I can always go back to DF if I wish.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Yes and NO as there's NO MDF Official ROM available atm. Only MDM&MDE...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] n0ble:

My phone came with MDF as stock.

If there is no major difference then MDE will suffice.

Battery not tremendously great on the S4 if you give it use through the day.

Only marginally better than S3.

//Downloading now... hotfile... 1 hour.... tik .... tok....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Hehe, it's SAFE and it's nothing to worry about. Recovery is updating CSC properly but in the mean time showing a "NO COMMAND" and when finishing there is a "error" but it just nothing, maybe because the hidden.img is not included in package and it's a part of CSC where all Carrier Branded apps are stored....

As I said, NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT! :)

Regarding upgrade, the OTA is working on it and there will be NO leftovers at all! :)

Wow! ;) Have you managed to mess it up already?? Be careful in future :)

You welcome and enjoy! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DjeMBeY:
Hehe, quite few people including me... :D Look around, go through thread...

No worries, honestly, I know what I'm doing and I've tested them ALL on my phone. At any time you can flash STOCK Rom with Odin.

Best thing about this ROMs is that Phone Status is OFFICIAL, so even if it break down it still under warranty as BINARY Counter shows 0, OFFICIAL :)

Go for it Tiger! :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Annie the Eagle:
Actually, I am having an issue with the prerooted one I flash. It's showing the bug that Chainfire pointed out in his blog. After you grant root access to something like AdFree or Remount System as RW, phone reboots.
