Anybody, a little help please. I have MGA 4.2.2 (dough I have the MK3 baseband, because I tried to flash the 4.3 CMW before but didn't liked it so went back to MGA)

Anyway, do I need to flash the modem separately? or the ODEX FULL includes the modem?

Thanks...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] beatmag:
Thank you to DjeMBeY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wanted to ask about the old bootloader too. im on MG4 at the moment.

But I will flash back to MGA to get the oldest bootloader.

How do I proceed to use the CWM NB8 firmware?

Do i need to flash LTE modem's and GSM Modem's?

does anyone know how to use this new NB8 rom with old bootloader?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bricenott:
Please don't rush to answer so fast, you might brake a leg... :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dontpannic:
No CWM flashable ROM's include modems. If you want to use an updated modem you must flash the modem separately using ODIN/Heimdall.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Robsen87:

DjeMBeY the FULL CWM goes really smooth, thank you very much, I'm using it with the old bootloader. Anyway since it was too long that I didn't play with the phone (previously I was with the 4.2.2) and that with this setup I'm almost without memory and I already made a backup; I would like to try the SLIM CWM Too, hehehe :silly: But I noticed something: Deleted apps (XXUFNB8 - DEODEXED) - Downloads: uploading... Not to put pressure or anything... :p Do you have an ETA? There are a few things that I really need about samsung, one is the S PLANNER and the other thing I really like is the Samsung Accuweather widget, I think that if I could install those 2 things I could live perfectly with the Slim version (now that I think a little, there are a few other that I'll install, but anyhow...)

Hi all,

The odexed NB8 version generally works, but the lock screen options don't, i.e. everything is greyed out apart form PIN and Password, and those don't work either...

Is this normal for this version? Maybe a side effect of missing knox? :confused:

It's most likely the CWM version, use an older one. 6.0.4.4 works for sure... I'm sure Phil will fix whatever the problem is eventually. The latest versions of cwm touch don't work either, I tried before reverting to 6.0.4.4.

I have no problem with pin code. Works every time. Even after reboot

To get lock screen working, download Rom Toolbox Lite. Under performance press build.prop Editor.

Find security.mdpp=None and press it. Change to #security.mdpp=None

Reboot and than you should have lock screen again.

If I'm running Cyanogenmod and have the old bootloader, could I just clear data, clear cache, then flash NB8 and this modem and have it all working or should I do something else?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dEATHfLOWEr:
I'm getting a bit confused here.

Two months ago my S4 was on MGA rom (thus with old bootloader). Then I flashed the CWM Pre-Rooted ML6 ROM together with the ML6 modem but

without

the NON-HLOS.bin (as per instructions found somewhere in this thread).

All is great but now I downloaded the Pre-Rooted ROM (CWM) NB8 to flash my S4.

As the phone is still on the MGA bootloader I thought it was as simple as repeating the step. So flash the CWM ROM and the corresponding modem file. Now lo69 posted a modem file here. But it contains both modem.bin AND NON-HLOS.bin which I thought I was NOT supposed to flash.

My question is, what is the correct way to keep the old bootloader and flash NB8?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bricenott:
If you want a newer modem with the old bootloader you have to flash the gsm one, that's modem.bin
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] splitterzelle:
Ok, cwm 6.0.4.4 did it. But this one has another issue: Softbooting into the recovery doesn't work - only off and then manually booting into it works.

Oh, man, i had almost forgotten how good some orig. samsung apps are. I.e. the camera is reallyreally cool... what a difference to that lamy one from cm 11!

Did you flash superslim or full stock pre rooted? I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong but I'm having a terrible battery drain with full stock
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] splitterzelle:
I flashed this one:

I9505XXUFNB8-PRE-ROOTED-Adam_Kernel-DeOdex-KNOXFree-SuperSlim

with clockworkmod 6.0.4.4 cause 6.0.4.7 failed (see previous posts).

But I debloated it further with "uninstall master" alias "app master" because there still was a lot of crap included.

Battery lasts 1,5 days+ @ the moment when using a lot of 3G internet browsing. With cm 11 it was less, about 1 day max.

-----------------

Notes battery drain:

- with cm 11 i reduced cpu freq to 1.5ghz

- at Samsung rom i enabled the energy save option for cpu

-> the Samsung rom does the better job at least in my case

similar problem

Same problem but all my sensors show pass via *#0*# sensor checks. Tried nordic i9505 I9505XXUFNB9_I9505NEEFNB2_I9505XXUFNB9_HOME.tar 4.4.2, then SIngapore I9505XXUFNBE_I9505OLBFNB3_I9505XXUFNBE_HOME.tar 4.4.2 all the fken same problem. Screen rotation all fine when I flash firmware, root, then flash CWM touch - everything good. Screen rotate works until the first reboot after all of this which might even be a day or 2 later. As soon as reboot phone, screen rotation dies and it is a huge pain in the arse. Sensors continue to say pass via *#0*#. Every few days i have to re-flash firmware, re-root, then re-CWM touch, no need to factory reset just those 3 steps. Has anyone got any solutions for this yet??:mad::crying::eek::confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mrpiter:
Just want to make sure that I understand everything corretly. I am currently on stock 4.2.2 with old bootloader. I want to flash NB8 and keep the old boot loader to avoid knox. Are these 2 scenarios correct?

1) If I flash NB8 using a package for Odin, it WILL also flash new bootloader and it will set knox flag to 0x1, right?

2) If I flash Philz Recovery, and then this CWM NB8 rom + this modem I will stay on old bootloader without knox as CWM package does NOT containt new bootloader. Is that right?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
1) Yes

2) No you should not flash a modem than contains a new NON_HLOS.bin, it will break your sound. Delete it from the tar, or find a tar with the NB8 modem.bin on its own. Apart from that, you're correct.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mrpiter:
Ok, cheers mate. But apart from that modem stuff I am correct that cwm will not flash a new BL, right?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cdzo72:

Triangle Away and Adam Kernel

Hi everyone,

I'm about to flash I9505XXUFNB8-PRE-ROOTED-Adam_Kernel-DeOdex-KNOXFree-SuperSlim-CWM.zip, coming from MF2 (old bootloader). A quick question: Just before starting I flashed Philz Recovery and used Triangle Away to reset flash counter (I know, kind of pointless at this stage :)). A warning message popped out that Triangle Away can be used only with Stock kernels and that otherwise it would soft-brick the device. To those who have installed the ROM above, have you successfully used Triangle Away afterwards, as this ROM has the Adam kernel and not the stock one?

Thank you in advance
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaTrED_:
If it's pointless, why bother using it?

That warning message, in your place, i would respect that! :D

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mrpiter:
What is the point of resetting a flash counter on a modified rom with custom kernel? Your system status will be unofficial either way as far as I know. I think that resetting flash counter and changing rom status only makes sense if you go back to a stock rom. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
You cannot flash a modem through a CWM zip file flash.

It can ONLY be done through a .tar / .md5 file in Odin.

It's a fallacy to have to flash a modem twice.

I think it originated due to people using the power menu to get into download mode, only to find flashing the modem fails.

As long as you get into download mode by powering the device off, then hold power button until you feel the vibration then immediately pressing DOWN-VOL then it will work first time. I've flashed many modems this way and it always works.

ie.

1. Start Odin 3.09 on your PC

2. Click CP button and browse for the modem tar file

3. Power phone off completely

4. Enter download mode (press POWER until vibrate, then press the VOL-DOWN button immediately, then VOL-UP to confirm)

5. Connect USB to phone+PC. Odin's ID:COM should then turn blue to show that it's seen the device

6. Click the Start button to flash

Antutu Benchmark Scores

After a couple of minor difficulties, which led me to wipe everything and start fresh (coming from djembey's SuperSlim good old MF2), I'm an (almost) happy user of CWM NB8!!! Thanks djembey :)

Just a quick question. When I tested my device with Antutu, I got an extremely low score (about 23200 on average), whereas with MF2 I consistently had around 27500. I haven't installed anything new - just restored my prorams (only - not settings) with Titanium Backup, and as I mentioned earlier, I installed the ROM from scratch.

Hi guys, haven't checked this thread for a few months and I don't have time to check a few hundred pages. I'm currently on your pre rooted bmga 4.2.2 rom from maybe 4/5 months ago.

A few questions if ye could help with:

Id like to try 4.4.2 - is it possible to do an upgrade to this & root without tripping knox?

If its a yes to above whats the best way?

Is it possible to preserve my existing settings etc or will an upgrade wipe everything?

Is the update worth doing - stable etc?

Thanks guys
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cdzo72:
There's a lot to know to go from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2... so I don't want to sound mean but you may wanna hold off and read that hundred pages because if not you WILL have issues.

As far as wipes... yeah you can go direct with no loss of data and not trip Knox but you really should do that reading before and it's very likely the vast majority of apps will force close

Going to a rooted 4.42 (via custom recovery) without setting Knox to 0x1? That would be new to me...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
Yes it is possible for you, because you have the old bootloader. You have to use the cwm builds.
