Bootloader - Knox:

Omega v15 does not include bootloader and v15 will not change your knox warranty status.

Wipe:

Omega v15 is a No Full wipe rom, but Full wipe is strongly recommended if you have issues!

Backup:

Make sure to make and keep in a safe place an efs backup - nadroid backup - titanium backup - etc, in case you ever need to restore!

Installation Instructions:

1. Backup your device (nadroid backup, titanium backup, efs backup ... etc)

2. Copy rom to your device

3. Flash modems (If you already have the correct modems, ignore this step):

Power Off your device completely

Wait a little and then power on device to download mode (Power button + Home button + Volume down button)

**If you are having the

old bootloader XXUB

flash GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUBMH1.tar file with odin by selecting phone.

new bootloader XXUD

flash GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUEMJ5.tar file with odin by selecting phone.

Go to Settings and make sure that modems flashed ok

This step is necessary to be done correct because XXUEMJ5 LTE modem will break your sound on old Bootloader

Actually I don't really understand the Aroma installer either. What if I select apps there which I already installed via play store? Will I have two versions then?

Could someone shed some light?

It would also really be cool if there could be an ini file somewhere on the SD card so that your checks are recorded for the next time.

Thanks for the update Indie .. installing now :)

HD voice

I noticed that Service Mode is mentioned in the changelog for 15;

Can someone advice how to set HD-Voice? I did try the *#0011# with all required steps, but still the phone does not enter Debug mode.

Thanks

Again, One more GREAT rom from Omega :o

Thanks mate for your reply. If I flash stock ROM the one you recommended! It's gonna void the warranty right? so called knox...I assume it's irreversible ?

Thanks for V15 Indie you are an independent Legend

In your own mind! :highfive:

Who has installed & tested XXUEMJ9 modem http://d-h.st/nMW ?

I am happy with XXUEMJ8 but does 9 have even better battery life at the same signal or?

The linked free ShowServiceMode app creates an error as you attempt to go service mode..(edit it works after a reboot of the phone)

How to pull up RilServiceModeApp(197328640) ... I entered that number and hit ok but got RilServiceModeApp(2263) instead there is a step missing in the instructions AND the video

I can enter service mode fine with *#0011# but the previously posted steps after entering service mode don't work with the current OS.

Surely if we got the steps right for the new OS it could work just as well as having the app ( assuming the paid one actually works).

How much of an improvement do its have to be and is it just one end ... ie higher encoding codec on the voice send.... surely receiving voice would be similar quality unless it's just an EQ? :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] skinnie:
After flash the LTE modem with PC Odin, my phone sound just gone. Any solution?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] phil.o:
Just reflash ROM with no wipe.

Yes, first reading and then flashing is better than first flashing and then asking. :p

You just flashed the wrong LTE modem for your bootloader. Flashing the right one should bring the sound back. ;)

You'll get the knox triggered, it will void the warranty, not in all the country as they said
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] AlienSexGod:
In some countries like Australia and some of Western Europe you have a legal right to root etc , but in USA technically yes but I would love to see Samsung try to prove in a court of law that software broke their hardware unless you did something like overclock your CPU... fat chance I reckon.

If you are in a country lacking free rights (ironically the USA??) I would NOT install CPU Adjuster they can tell you has it install unless you low level formatted your internal SD before sending it in for service. You could also load stock firmware before service ...they probably wouldn't notice ... the tiny knox text doesn't come up on boot up if I go the the Romanian or German stock roms ( flashed via Odin). I am not an expert on knox ... but I think as a quick look they wouldn't notice. If they wanted to spend the time they would be able to find knox was tripped.

If you go with Indies instructions and keep the old bootloader/modem then you wont trip knox... :good:

However a very small percentage of people including me still had some gremlins and went for the more lengthy process I documented which whilst installing & tripping knox irons out everything perfectly. I think maybe because I had tried so many different roms in the past some how even full wipes didn't wipe out some software or settings . :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] phil.o:
Concerning this whole knox and void warranty thing:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dannyella:
Yes.. you can avoid knox bootloader though.. by simply making full wipe and flash like normal..

So who is jumping to MJ9?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] acarmody2002:
Hi guys and gals.

I am running Omega 12 and am still running the old XXUA bootloader. Now I was thinking of just starting again from scratch and knox be damned (Yay Australia's consumer rights) installing 4.3.

I know people have been having trouble with modems and all that, (and I know Indie the legend, has posted up instructions to make everything good) so if I just flash via Odin the Germany O2 rom XXUEMJ9 and then install Omega 15, all the modems and such will work fine, right?

Would it just be a case of, flash factory MJ9, flash Philz recovery, install Omega 15 and I'm away?

Sorry still noob.

Thanks guys.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
I have and I really don't recommend it.

Poor reception and signal drops sometimes.

MJ8 is clearly better. :)

And so far MJ5 is the best for me!

No Youtube freezes on v14, maybe it's something else mate..?

Yup, I think you're gonna be okay If you proceed like this man. :)

(And worry not about knox, it's been confirmed that it doesn't affect warranty, yay! :D

I'm also still on old bootloader btw.)

And btw if you signal is weak after doing this check my post above about my experience with modems so far on 4.3.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] acarmody2002:
So do you think maybe upgrading to MJ9 and then flashing the MJ8 modems afterwards?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nfsmw_gr:
Yes, flash MJ8 or MJ5.

Definitely not keep MJ9.

Haven't tried MJ7 though, if anyone has please comment.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] phil.o:
There are no good or bad modems. It always depends on your region!

For me MJ9 is running great. Good reception and no signal drops.

Just because a modem is not working good for somebody doesn't mean that it's also not working good for another one.

Each user has to find out which modem fits best to his region.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dinci5:
Didn't know that it's confirmed that KNOX doesn't affect warranty.

Only in some countries or all?

I'm on old bootloader as well.

If it doesn't affect battery, I'll just start from scratch as well :)

Service mod not working...15 minutes ago i updated from v13.2 to v15,no full wipe. Everything else is fine, even the wifi signal not droping now and then like in v13.2. Thanks indi, wonderfull rom!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] AlienSexGod:
An important point is that your modem/baseband wont change so got for Omega V15 without an issue just have at least J5 as per Indies instructions, and maybe go J8 if you wish
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] manikam:
For those who have upgraded to Omega v15, can you share with me your internal storage capacity? Let me know if it is full-wipe or no-wipe upgrade too.

Thanks many.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] acarmody2002:
Doesn't flashing the official Samsung firmwares change the modems too? Just asking.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] AlienSexGod:
Yeah well I reckon you are cool in any country (unless you overclocked the CPU) but technically, in countries like the USA, till it's gone to court and a legal precedent is made regarding rooting and custom software then the manufacturer can make an argument in court against you.

I believe it would be defeated if you challenged back as it has been in Au and other countries.

As I said before the key point would be for the manufacturer to prove the software we loaded broken the hardware.

Fat chance...... particularly when you also explain to the court that what we do in the process is actually work with independent software programmers to apply manufacturer bug fixes and software optimisations faster than the manufacturers and retailers in our own countries roll them out!

In essense we provide a social & user experience improvement service in regards to the equipment in question! Ra ra! :cowboy:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Yes it does, flashing a stock Rom through Odin changes everything. System, modems, recovery, kernel, and unfortunately the bootloader.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] phil.o:
Yes, because they get flashed with ODiN.

CWM flashable ROMs NEVER include any modem.

°°° tapatalked °°°

There's a tiny difference of the storage capacity of each phone. No matter if a ROM is flashed with or without full wipe.
