Have to agree with swanseatom..I'm currently on 4.3 cwm rom of yours with knox tripped..the knox doesn't worry me as I enjoy tinkering with my phone too much. I'd like to upgrade to 4.4.2 ..as I'm using cwm already I'd like to know if there is any benefit to flashing odin version? There does seem to be some conflicting advice about new bootloaders and modems with tw roms. It's the only thing holding me back..Well that and having to do a full wipe first..setting everything up again is a pita :)

Flashed NC9, GT-I9505 Modified Stock ROM - CWM/TWRP/PhilZ flashable ZIP:, on my old bootloader, non Knox'd, phone and it is working great. Swapped the Adam kernel for ktoonsez's latest release for TW and no build prop amendment for Wi-Fi needed.

What Recovery are you guys/girls using to successfully install the ROM's?

I'm not learning impaired.... lol... :silly: See, I could always update ROMS (Stock, DeOxed, Google Ed etc) but as soon as I upgraded my Recovery to philz_touch_6.15.4 from 6.10.3 I always get Permission errors... about 50% through.... I have even fully Wipe/refresh scenario using Oden (to factory reset) then reinstalled philz_touch_6.15.4 . I can only install Cyanogen Mod.. ...weird right, I can install Cyanogen Mod using philz_touch_6.15.4 but not any other ROM here.....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tiim:
I had problems flashing this ROM with 6.15.4 as well, it's a common issue apparently. Apprently Philz now has one version for all S4 devices, which you can find here: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/jflte

I flashed the latest 6.25.4 via recovery, rebooted back into recovery and had no problems flashing the ROM afterwards.

Flashing modem or not flashing modem

Hi,

I'd like to flash a official pre-rooted ROM on my i9505 from "GT-I9505 Official Stock ROM - CWM/TWRP/PhilZ flashable ZIP:"

(thinking of going with XXUFNB8) but I'm wondering if I need to flash a modem FW as well?

I got confused as the sticky for the post says "- Modem is NOT included" but the beginning of the post says that this is the easiest way of rooting with benefits being "- Complete, Odin flashable Packages." and "- Only 1 file and you have a complete firmware including Root permission."

Sorry if this is a noob question, last time I was playing around with different ROMs was on a Galaxy S2...

Also, am I understanding this right, flashing the above ROM will leave the KNOX unchanged at 0x0 right?

The SYSTEM-DEVICE will however show "CUSTOM" but will that go back to showing "OFFICIAL" if I flash a official stock non-rooted ROM over this?

Thanks in advance

Camera Failed warning

Hi I hope you can help me with this,

I was on a custom 4.3 rom running on old bootloader. I then

updated to 4.4.2 rom but my camera is not working and giving

me a warning message " Camera failed" and once that happens

the whole system lags. I've read around that it could be a hardware

problem but when I switched back to the 4.3 rom the camera is working

smoothly again. I have tried 3 different 4.4.2 custom roms but same issue persists.

My question is could this have anything to do with my bootloader? I am planning

on flashing a stock 4.4.2 firmware with the new bootloader to see if that helps but what

worries me is if this doesn't help then I have no way anymore to go back to

a 4.3 firmware where my camera still works. Can you help me point to a solution

to this problem? Or which stock firmware I should flash to test if my camera

will work on that firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] degman:
I'm using 4.4.2 rom without problems and with old bootloader. Just flash 4.2.2 official firmware like MGA, root with CF-Root, flash PhilZ latest recovery, use Triangle Away, flash only 4.4.2 modem.bin(only GSM modem, without Wi-Fi fix) file and then flash custom rom from recovery - super slim version will be OK from this thread.

It's not compliacted when you know how. But it's taken me a week of reading around to find this answer, which is the exact answer I was searching for (and yes, I did use search and google!). I want to try a rooted stock 4.4.2 without tripping the knox flag.

I bought an S4 yesterday and to my delight it came with 4.2.2 XXUAMDM pre knox bl (or at least there is no reference to knox when in download mode). So armed with this information I will try a modified stock 4.4.2 via cwm as I have to say I'm quite impressed with stock 4.2.2.

I am assuming that in the unlikely event of facing trouble with 4.4.2 I can nandroid my way back to my original 4.2.2? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I must confess I can't understand whether wifi will be affected of not as the guide says not to flash the fix on older bootloaders, but some users have reported problems and others not. I get the impression that the adam kernel fixes this but can someone confirm?

Also, is there any need to flash the 4.4.2 modem.bin or can I stick with the MDM 4.2.2 modem?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] splitterzelle:
With cwm you can go back to any version you want (if you created a backup before of course...). I must confess I didn't test to go backwards via rom zip flashing...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dimbo33:
The whole knox thing is new to me having had an S2 for the last 2 years where you can flash around to your heart's content.

My understanding is that you cannot flash back to a previous nandroid if you have upgraded to the new knox bootloader, even if you have cwm.

I am on the MDM pre knox bootloader and I don't plan to make any changes to this in the hope that I am then free to flash around freely.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] robertogl:
It you have new bootloader, you can't downgrade using recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nikzDHD:
Hmmmm strange. Try flashing a kit kat modem no harm in flashing that. Are you on new or old bootloader? If old don't flash the lte modem just gsm modem. If your in the new bootloader you can flash both. Also ensure your apn is correct for 4g.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] splitterzelle:
Someone may correct me if I'm wrong but if you got an older knox-free bootloader you can flash a rom that is knox(-bootloader) and modem free, like the one I mentioned above, you can't do something wrong. 4.4.2 roms run with older bootloaders, in some cases it is neccessary to flash some fixes for wifi and sound that are on strike otherwise...

---------- Post added at 03:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

I'm unfortunately《knoxed》 by the one that came with 4.3. With flasing a modem I had a bad expierience with a S4 mini 9195. After flashing the (correct) modem nothing worked anymore, not even the simple phone call! That's why I'm so carefull with such updates since then.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] robertogl:
If he is on older boot loader, he can flash using cwm and it will ok. If he will have problem with Wi-Fi he can fix, but it will be probably ok ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] VogonP0et:
If you're on the new boot loader, the version of the LTE modem should match that of the base ROM version you are using. Otherwise you will have WiFi and sound issues.

Boot loaders are also part of the normal operation of the newer software, and do have version numbers. However it appears that they do not have to match. However I always the version to match the ROM, and never have any problems or issues.

You will need an alternative kernel to use a 4.4.2 ROM with the old boot loader, as a standard one won't work. This is well documented on XDA, and a quick search on your ROM thread will reveal the answers quickly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nikzDHD:
That's fine then.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] VogonP0et:
If you want the new boot loader (and you don't care about the KNOX flag) then you should use the one that matches your ROM base version. Before installing a new ROM I always flash the matching standard firmware package first, which gives me all the correct modems and boot loader. Then flash your chosen ROM, or root the standard one with CF_Autoroot

This is what I'm worried about given that I will be coming from MDM (and retaining MDM bootloader). I want to know what steps are required to fix the wifi issue.

From the reading around I've done I get the impression that I may not face the wifi problem at all as the update zip file contains the adam kernel rather than stock.

I have also read though that flashing the gsm modem (modem.bin) can fix wifi.

But if anyone has experience of fixing wifi whilst having retained a 4.2.2 bootloader I would be grateful for any advice.

I am re-reading through this thread as often after reading something for the second/third time you suddenly get it. Post 2 of this thread though says "Other than wifi, the rom is fully working, it is very speedy," I need wifi though.

Is a recovery included

One final question before I flash via CWM FNC9 - does it contain a recovery (either custom or stock)?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nikzDHD:
Nope you need to flash it with a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP as examples.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dimbo33:
Does that mean that you retain whatever custom recovery you used to flash the ROM or do you go back to stock recovery?

I think after I've flashed the ROM zip I will reflash the CWM zip from recovery before re-booting just to ensure I still have CWM (with which to restore my nandroid in case of any unexpected trouble).

Edit: re-reading your answer I think you may have misunderstood my question, which is what recovery is installed when you flash the FNC9 ROM via CWM (in the way that stock recovery is installed if you flash a completely stock ROM)?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nikzDHD:
No you retain the recovery you used to flash. A CWM rom does not contain a recovery. No need to flash custom recovery again if your already on a custom recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dimbo33:
I saw your post after I reflashed CWM. No harm done in any case.

I came from 4.2.2 MDM and the only problem I had was after installation whenever I locked the screen with the power button the mobile signal was lost. Flashing modem.bin from ML6 sorted this.

My sincere thanks to DjeMBeY for making this possible. I wanted stock 4.4.2 but could not stand the thought of knowingly installing the knox bootloader with all the trouble and restriction it brings.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] splitterzelle:
There is no big trouble with this knox bootloader, just the warranty is gone and downgrade is a little more complicated. The benefits of upgrading to kitkat on the other hand are very much worth this little "trouble". And after all, who really wants to get stuck to an oldfashioned android version foerever..?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dimbo33:
That's what's so great with the pre-rooted 4.4.2 flashed via CWM. All the kitkat benefits without the knox downside (assuming you retain old bootloader). You can revert to a completely unmodified and unflagged state.
