Bootloader Update Fails for Foxhound 4.4

I am trying to update to the latest Foxhound edition (v 4.4). It says I need to update my bootloader and radio. Currently I am running Foxhound v3.6. When I try to use Odin to update to the bootloader file from the Foxhound site, Odin spits out a red message that I have failed.

I have tried many times and have failed. Can someone please tell me if Foxhound 4.4 is for T-Mobile SGH-M919? If not, then perhaps this is why I'm having these problems.

Someone, please help me! Thank you so much!

This is the message I get from Odin

Hi.

Why any time I restart my phone, I get fc from Swype and nova?

Thanks.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Reggy Noble:
If you are still on FH 1.2 and happy with I would recommend you to stay on Android 4 2.2 and update to FH 2.0 which is still on 4.2.2.

Installing Kikat will just give you an headache without bringing real benefit at the end.

This is just my opinion.

Foxhound ROM for Samsung i9505 T-Mobile SGH-M919?

I asked this in a different posting but my question may be buried as I posted mainly about my bootloader update fail.

Can someone please tell me if the latest Foxhound 4.4 ROM is installable on a Samsung i9505 (S4) T-Mobile SGH-M919 variant? I have tried repeatedly to update my bootloader via ODIN and fails. So I'm wondering if this is because the bootloader (from Foxhound site) is not meant for a T-Mobile SGH-M919 variant.

Please let me know. Your help is very much appreciated.

Is v4.4 based on Android 4.4 (Kit Kat)???

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] freddo800:
Yes :o
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ch0wn:
Thanks for your reply.

Why should I update to 2.0 ? Do you know where I can find it?

Regarding Kitkat....would you say it's not worth? Any reason?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Reggy Noble:
There are many reasons to update from FH 1.2 to FH 2.0. here are just 2 good reasons:

- FH 2.0 is the latest and most stable FH rom on 4.2.2

- There are many great and stable mods available for this version. The great Jkay mod for example. The development is stopped but last version works perfectly on FH 2.0. Also 3minit mod version for this FH is perfect...

Regarding Kit kat on S4, it is absolutely not worth.

At least the way it is now.

Only flashalcoholics can be happy with that.

It's less stable; You need new bootloader to make it work properly; Because Samsung wanted to make it in order to reduce RAM consumption, they also reduced the quality of the Rom itself, and many more reasons....

But you can always try kitkat and make your own opinion if you want ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davy4475:
did u ever resolve this, i,m havin the same issue
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] AMDPOWERFIST:
Nope.

I just had everything installed, so i went and used Titanium Backup to uninstall or freeze the 40,000,000 apps it decided to install for me... Time consuming but achieved the same result...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davy4475:
i guess i will have to do the same
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ch0wn:
Thank you for your very detailed reply.

I'll consider downloading 2.0 (and check where it's available) :)

Once again, thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davy4475:
What all did u delete, I don't wanna delete something I shouldn't
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] AMDPOWERFIST:
I would luv to give you a detailed list. But unfortunately the apps are gone now.

Basically the best rule of thumb with deleting apps, is if it shows up in your APP DRAW and you DON'T use it - then its generally safe to delete/uninstall...

Icons that don't show up, could be system apps or part of the system function, so best leave those alone. Or if you want to trial delete something, try the FREEZE function first, give it a few days, and if the phone is still running smoothly, with no force closes, then its safe to say that that particular app is able to be deleted/uninstalled without any issues.

Worst case scenario tho, is if you do delete or uninstall something you shouldn't, u can always reflash the ROM.zip again and it will undo the damage... Titanium backup doesn't allow users to do irreparable damage to their phones... it is essentially "noob proof" to some extent... (not saying you are a noob btw)

Make new Versions of FoxHound for S4 please. Not for S5 because it's great and new. I'm German, i say everybody in the German Handy forum that your Rom the best that I ever used. Many people use your Rom. My girlfriend, too^^

You have so many options, so customable... Also. We wait for your next s4 release, too :)

Afternoon chaps, i've just got a SGS4 9505 and it's got no OS but it's rooted with CWM, trying to get a rom on there and just spotted Foxhound (used to have this rom on my S3)

Any idea how to get this phone back to life? As i said i've got no idea what bootloader it's got as theres no OS. I've flashed a 4.3 rom and a 4.4.2 rom and none worked.

Would be nice to get this Rom on there.

Cheers, an apologies if i'm asking out of turn.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Joery1983:
Before flashing foxhound I'd suggest that you first try to get it running on official stock 4.4.2.

How come there is no OS on the phone? What doesn't work with flashing? Does odin give you a fail? And at what point does it fail? What steps did you take? What firmware did you try etc.

OK so downloaded a 4.2.2 not 4.4.2 ROM and tried t flash that, it flashed OK, then on boot its stuck on the Samsung logo. I'm thinking its this bloody Knox stuff that's stopping it from working. Problem is that I'm in work now and the internet is down Lol. Classic. So grab a 4.4.2 ROM and try that instead yea? Thanks for all your replies, you've been a great help.

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 AM ----------

When I say no OS, I mean I can't enter the OS so I can't determine what it was actually on, but the Knox void flag has been activated to 0x1 so I think I can now assume that it could have been on 4.4.2. I'll do what I can to download a stock 4.4.2 tar file and attempt the flash again via Odin.

I thought id cracked it when it made the Samsung sound. Bloody thing.

For some reason this rom is running very slow for me. Mostly when i try to start up again from sleep mode. Sometimes my screen wont turn on at all and sometimes it will but the lock screen is very sluggish. Going to try to use 4.4 to see if that helps. I'm coming from 3.6 i think it was. Anyone else experiencing any sluggishness?

I also tried a crew of the ktweeker profiles for cpu governor but while they seemed to help a little bit. It is not enough of an improvement for me to justify saying its fixed. Guessing all you guys are getting pretty responsive results though.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] debbuger:
Try stock kernel in aroma..ktoonsez kernel is default for too deepsleep tweaked that it takes about 5 to 10 secs to wake up lock screen after deepsleep....or in ktoonsez use min frequency of 378 mhz.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Proboarder2712:
Stock kernel gets stuck in a boot loop. I tried adjusting the frequency of the governors but I'm still getting the same issue. I took the min up to the 700 range but it only helped for speed but not dormancy.. Only the KT kernel will boot for me. Gonna have to try the 4.4 version and see if that makes any difference. Other wise try something like 3.6 unless my backup is good. Guess the kernel just doesn't want to install properly for me.

Hi guys !

Please I about to install Foxhound 4.5, but I have a small question. Could you guys provide me a step by step procedure on how to flash the new bootloader?

Searching at XDA forum I found a step by step procedure to flash the modem, but not to flash the bootloader?

Just so you know to flash the modem I will use the following procedure

1.	Use Odin v3.04

2.	Untick Autoreboot

3.	Flash modem

4.	Reboot once again into Download Mode using (Vol Down plus Home button combi)

5.	Flash Modem once more

6.	Once done,unplug then reboot device manually.

7.	If this doesn't work, try repeating the flash process again while rebooting manually and with auto-reboot option turned off.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Joery1983:
Do the same for the bootloader do them both at the same time. Use odin 3.09 put the BL file under BL and CP under CP.
