hi, and thks for your work !

I get my S4 for 1 week now , an i9500 with XXUAMDK. it still out of the box, no root no custom CWM ... nothing.

and I want to update using your files so I can get root access zipalign and of course firmware update.

Can you please tell me what's new in XXUABMG1 (comparing to MDK).

And is it important if I use a CSC whic is not from my country ? (It's already not from my country)

and In case I will flash with odin the 4 files are recommended ? bootloader, csc, pda and modem right?

thks again !

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] nipuna:
Thanks for your hard-work! This is the best option for anyone who wants root but don't want to loose warranty,

Having said that, few posts above suggest the phones reporting the firmware status as custom. Now if it does that, it logically would increase the counter. Dear I9000, can you confirm that it does not?

It would put our minds at ease, and allow people to flash your ROM without hesitation. :) Also, is there any advise you have to ensure that a user inadvertently does not increase the counter?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] A.S._id:
No there is no logic, because the status of the system is not related to custom binary counter. The counter is triggered only when flashing foreign kernels and recovery. There are several programs for this influence, they contain busybox, but it is usually specified in usage ...

But my rom isn't contain busybox...

Well but the status of elementary changes to the official after flashing stock firmware and factory reset

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] dhiku:
Just want to share, currently installed firmware XXUBMG1 but device status is custom and it is matter for me because device status must be official to connect to WIFI sharecast dongle.

So those with custom device status, try to follow steps below and it worked for me:

- Flash status official mod link from this thread --> i think this is optional, but I did this

- Disable SuperSU

- Reboot

- Wait for 1 minutes then check your device status, it will show Official

- After that enable SuperSU and device status still show Official

Please note that, this status will change if you reboot your device with SuperSu enable. Because supersu will start at boot, samsung will found system modification at first one minute, then your device status will change to custom.

SO if you want official status, just do step 4 again.

installing busy - triggers flash counter ?

I am using your rom. Its great. Thanks for this.

My question is if I install busybox due to app requiring it would it trigger the flash counter ?

I know it can change device status to custom but flashing official rom would correct that.

just need confirmation on busybox intallation not triggering flash counter.

thanks!

Though this is not the q and a section but I am gonna ask anyway.

Is it possible too flash a custom recovery via goo manager in my I9500. I am rooted using ur rom.

If yes then wouldn't we be able to flash roms without odin via the recovery and the flash counter would remain at zero ?

I am tempted to try this. But seems too simple for others not to have tried this before me.

Let me know if I am totally missing something and if some one has tried this before.

3- I switched off s4 for couple of hour then it boot normally and tried TWRP 2.3.1 with goomanager, it installed successfully. but a hour latter

same boot logo problem.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] ahmed534:
it doesn't matter from where u r coming. and BTW why dont you just put a custom recovery and flash a custom ROM (wanamlite for example) so you can get optimazations and bloatware removed ? (you still can go back to official status when flashing stock via odin)

it's up to you, but I don't see the point of flashing and older firm than your current one
