No NA5 the latest kitakat leak for i9505 4.4.2..here is the link http://terafile.co/2a2e2ce1f314/I9505XXUFNA5_I9505OXAFNA5_I9505XXUFNA5_OXA.zip

Download it and extract...

There will be 4 files i think

Now download odin v3.09

Run it

Then follow these steps

1. Make sure only auto reboot and f. Reset time are checked..uncheck everything else.

2 click on BL tab and select the file with starting name from Bl

3 click on PA and select the file starting name with phone

4 click CSC select file starting with name csc

5 click MDM and select file starting name with CP

6 PUT UR S4 IN DOWNLOADING MODE by power off device wait 5 sec. Press vol - button and keep holding it and then press power button to turn on the device ..but keep holding vol- button until u get a scree with green android logo.

7 now press vol+ to continue

8 connect ur s4 to pc with original usb and let windows install drivers

9 when the first blank block turn yellow or blue written with id com : xx where xx is automatically chosen com port by windows press start flashing on odin .

10 it'll take about 2 or 3 minutes to flash the firmware.

After this ur s4 will reboot automatically to normal.

Close odin

If u've problems with wifi or network flash the Modem file by selecting Mdm on odin again..

For this just open odin and select mdM and select the file starting with name CP

And make sure auto reboot and f. Reset time are checked and everything else is unchecked

Now put ur s4 in download mode again as u do in flashing firmware stated above connect it to pc and the idcom box color on odin changes.click start flash it should tke a couple of secs to flash only modem.

After that ur network and wifi will work..do this I'll guide u for flashing fox hound rom after this ..just reply to this thread once u've successfully flashed NA5 firmware...and please post the screenshot of settings》about ..to make sure everything is ok.

Srry for my English hope u understand it well.

I had the same problem with Titanium backups. I thought it was KitKat related. Anyway it was a chance to clean up a bit.

Where can I find the Restore Fix - during installation?

I 've benn using the ROM for some days now. I must say, it is very nice - stable, good performance, good battery life.

This is everything you need expect the ROM, right? (Im coming from FH3.6 (4.3))

So once I have applied these files I can install FH or any other 4.4.2 based ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Joery1983:
This is the complete stock 4.4.2 with odin 3.09 included so this is everything you need. You only need to download Foxhound 4.2 from Foxhoundrom.net

There are 4 files in the zip file, for step 3 (PA), do we need to pick "AP_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar"? (its the only file left).

Also, doing these step are we flashing everything, Including the 4.4.2 stock ROM (which I presume is leaked (just as the modem, etc, are)).?

Once this is done we flash FH 4.2 through revocery?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Joery1983:
every file starts with the two letters of the buttons where you need to put them so ap goes to ap.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Scope2:
Thank you for your instructions.. Im all set on NA5, Know and a whole heep of rubbish applications. :)

So the next step is to get a new recovery and flash FH, right?

One questions.. If I did go to FH, will I be able to go back to a Stock rom, or indeed another 3rd party Rom? Im not bothered about triggering Knox, provided it doesnt stop me installing new roms... Can somebody please explain this bit?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] debbuger:
Ok here is simple tutorial on our dev's site

http://www.foxhoundrom.net/?p=1456

In odil click bl and select the file BL_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5

Now click cp and select CP_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5

And flash it in download mode..

Plz flash for 2 or 3 times ..it is necessary to flash both twice or thrice. .

Than u should get boot loop or your wifi and network won't work..then flash twrp recovery of i9505 v 2.6.3.1 google it u'll find the link..

To flash twrp select pa in odin and select twrp file and flash in download mode.

After flashing is done boot into recovery by power off ur device and holding vol+ switch as u do in download mod but this time u need to press vol+...wen u r in recovery click wipe》advance wipe uncheck all except system and move the slider once done click home at the bottom center of screen then select install 》select fox hound zip file and click install..

No u'll not be able to go to 4.3..but u can flash na5 stock anytime but root has triggered the knox .flashing anything from odin will void ur warranty.I have warned u in last post.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] leijonasisu:
I'm having an issue where I don't think Wifi is shutting down. If I turn off Wifi. It shows as disabled in the status bar and in settings.

However if I go into Settings -> Battery it shows that the Wifi has been on the entire time and that it is discharging the phone. It accounts for 7% of my total drained battery over 16½ hours of being idle. Switching it back on for an hour shows the same thing. So I am not sure that the Wifi is actually being disabled when I turn it off...

I did flash the new bootloader and modem before flashing the rom. So what's up?

EDIT: I realised it may have been the 'Scanning Always Available' hidden setting in Wi-Fi options that keeps the scanning on even when the Wifi is off for better location data. Which is useless to me because I have GPS off anyway. We'll see if the Battery Stats page shows Wifi off now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Joery1983:
The reason why nobody answers you is that this is discussed page, after page, after page in this thread.

No you can not just update to 4.2 you'll have to flash stock 4.4.2 through odin if you want the 4.2 rom to work.

And if you're about to ask: can I go back if i don't like 4.2? No you can't since 4.2 will need the 4.4.2 bootloader.

If your keyboard didn't chance in aosp style you probably ticket the wrong option in aroma installer.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Finalfour:
I think you can do it in easiest way:

1. Download custom recovery (philz for example) and flash it with odin;

2. Download only newest modem and newest Bootloader and flash it with odin. No need all fw.

3. Put downloaded foxhound into sd card, and flash it viaa pgilz recovery.

Thats all.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] debbuger:
4.4.2 source code has not yet been released by samsung..note 3 users r lucky, code released a week ago and got official kitkat...so as there is no source code there is no luck for us s4 users...wait for few days it'll be released and in next few days there will b many custom kernels.

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------

I think u can solve this prob by replacing settings related files from official 4.4.2 to fox hound rom..see if that works.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Joery1983:
The ting is that just flashing bootloader and modem seems to result in all kinds of misbehavior of the Foxhound rom. Wheter that's because people flash it the wrong way or that that just isn't working properly I don't know.

What I do know is that if you flash the complete firmware and then flash Foxhound everything works flawless.

So since you'll have to do a full wipe anyway in my opinion it's just better to flash complete stock just to be sure.

Otherwise you'll have people here waving around with logcats that are made after the rom was incorrectly installed.

Maybe [MENTION=2430512]raffaele88[/MENTION] can chance this on foxhoundrom.net and replace flashing bootloader and modem for flash stock.

But flashing full rom na5 is highly recommended. .
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Joery1983:
Well that's perfect than as I said I don't know whether it's the people who flash them incorrectly or if it just doesn't work.

You seem to proof that it can work. But most people seem to fail trying this. If you flash stock you flash it just once and all is ok. A modem mostly sticks after two or three flashes whiteout reboot maby the bootloader also I don't know. But this all isn't a real problem if people just flash stock.

So for most people I would advise to just flash stock.

It should look like this. And you can't install stock trough custom recovery.

My only concern is if after flashing this and then flashing foxhound, if foxhound doesn't work I am left with AOSP only rom. Will I be able to use my backup which is 4.3?

I am sure the bootloader has taken as my baseband displays NA5.

This isn't aosp this is official stock touchwizz based 4.4.2. No you can't go back to 4.3 but if you flashed bootloader correct you won't be able to go back nou either.

i wouldnt ask for etas here on xda... ;)

my personal suggestion: install the rom if you like it

if it gets updated and the base (MEA) changes then wipe and install new rom or stay with your old one

if it gets updated and the base stays the same then just install new version over old one without wiping

but this is my personal opinion and most here would recommend you a wipe between a rom update

mate dont get me wrong but why dont you install another rom if you want a stock theme?

there are many custom roms with stock look out there, also prerooted, debloated and so on..

the theming part is one of the main features of this rom... :confused:
