Did you try it ? What were the results?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
the new 4.4 bootloader allows 4.3 custom roms, so the same will be possible with custom 'near stock' 4.4 roms as well.

you may be restricted with what official roms you can odin install, but thats it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jds3118:
Thanks ! I'm on an I545 with an unlocked mdk bootloader (which I believe is gold lol :D) and have been loving Echoe 4.3 roms and would like to try Echoe 4.4 tw and 4.4 google edition rom but looks like I'll have to wait :banghead:

Hey guys, now on 14.1 and was previously on echoe kit kat 3 jan rom, in the last month, i had no issues at all, basically everything was perfect.

Now i get random "no sim entered" messages asking to reboot. whats happening here?

Can i also use the ktweakers app which I had on Echo Kitkat on 14.1?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] abemann:
. U don't need the new bootloader for Google Kitkat.

I got old MDM bootloader and running the Echoe Kitkat Google Edition. Works very fine;)

Yes I know it's possible if we were using the mysterious "test" kernel.But it's not on xda anymore - so there's no other way than updating the boot loader.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
even that kernel was imperfect and caused problems.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
You guys im sorry but there's a reason why i advice people on the old bootloader not to even bother with using the kit kat Echoes.... And that's why im not offering support about issues arising from having the old bootloader- beacuse you will have issues and there's nothing we can do to help you.... Because the solution is only one: to use the new bootloader or the banned kernel which is not a panacea btw... It does give you wifi (ONLY IF YOU USE THE GE 4,4,2 ZIP FILE I CREATED you have wifi that connects right away btw..), but there are many many other stability issues...

And to quote myself from OP:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
those of us on the old bootloader have a simple thing to do: wait until the firmware is officially launched, and see if anyone makes a kernel that works for 4.4 rom + 4.2 bootloader.

if that doesnt happen, then we stay where we are or update to the new boobloader. thats it, no magical fixes yet.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] franzyroy:
Yet there are those who say the opposite. JB Echoe it worked well with old bootloader, I had it. I question not but do not understand why this was possible in 4.3, is not in 4.4.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
JB Echoe worked with old bootloader only for one reason.... Because of the "wifi trick" i discovered and got accused for. And later on when JB sources were released because we had custom kernels with JB sources... Same thing will (will is the key tense) happen once the official kit kat is released and 10 days later the KK sources are released so that custom kernels can be build with KK sources...

As to your why question.... noone knows why.... Noone knows why sammy wants to become the next iphone... It seems like moneywise it doesnt affect them...

About people saying the opposite, I ask for even one user to be 100% truthful and tell me they didnt have random reboots while on old bootloader and banned kernel, that wifi doesnt take close to a minute to connect unless you flash my 4.4.2 GE WIFI Files and that it doesnt get stuck randomly on its own... And all the other issues people have been facing (external sd card, settings/security fc'ing, etc. etc. etc)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
because 4.4 isnt even out yet. we're dealing with one incomplete leak.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] franzyroy:
It is true that the sources were not yet delivered, I forgot it!

So there are liars! ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
lol :D

If i judge from Note 3, sources were out one week after the official 4.4. was released and then custom kit kat kernels came out...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] franzyroy:
Good new!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] minhas4all:
Thanks for your time n sorry for bothering but again I will say that I want to use 14.1 n love it... I tried many times to update my BL ...

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
You are very welcome :)

Im pretty sure we had other users having difficulty with updating heir bootloaders..

Im gonna ask the help from other users who had this problem but eventually solved it to jump in and offer their help my friend :)

hey guys, does this ROM support Samsung Kies? I current installed this ROM and won't connect to Kies as it states this device is not supported.

Any workaround as I use Kies to reinstall my data and applications.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] R1ckman:
If you're thinking of flashing custom ROMs it's probably a good idea to use Titanium Backup to take care of your app/data backups as opposed to Kies. I appreciate that doesn't really answer your question though :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
My friend KIES only suports official ROMS or Devices that may have been modded but with TRIANGLE AWAY still show "Official Status". What the fellow XDA'er said below is what you should do... Use Titanium Backup and if you are new to flashing, trust him (and me) you wont be able to live without it!! The only way to restore your stuff via KIES unfortunately is to flash via ODIN PC a STOCK ROM...

You are exactly right my friend :)

I the german forum they wrote something to uninstall first the app and then flash the update. BUt i dont know if that is incl theme.

1.

Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4 > Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development

2.

AT&T, Canadian Bell, Rogers, Telus, Virgin Samsung Galaxy S 4 > AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development

3.

T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4 > T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development

And for some strange reason the ECHOE ROM is found in the following section: Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505, i9505G >

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] superbegita:
I can help you see i have done the same thing before realizing that my BL wasn't update too.So in the official Kitkat Samsung leak you should have one of the 4 folder name BL etc use this one and with Odin 3.09 tick the case update the bootloade etc to the down left corner you should see it easily

Another trick very useful.

There:

When you flash don't tick the Auto-rebot.

Make the flash one it's will be done.Wait the case to mark PASS in green.

There once done.Shutdown your phone, then reboot it without waiting in Download mode.

Do it again and tick this time the Auto-reboot. (flash the bootloader again) Normally it will flash very quickly and your phone wil reboot even if it's will be marked RESET in Odin.

It should be alright now! !

Download the application named P¨hone INFOS and you should be able to see if your new bootloader NA5 is there.

Tell me if it work^^

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

My advice flash the stock leak NA5 and after that flash the 14.1 Echoe Kitkat 4.4.2.

Don't forget to tick the update bootloader after you will flash the leak or you won't have the Wifi neither.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
New or old bootloader? If new, have you checked if really the fna5 one?

In terminal emulator tipe:

su

getprop ro.bootloader

If it' s not correct follow begita' s instructions..

If on old bootloader ,instead you need a kernel wich has been banned, or to update your bootloader with the knoxed latest one ;)

No need to root as root is already in v14.1 but i'm not sure which version of philz have a bug.. maybe 6.15?? i use cwm so i don't remember exactly. Just make a small search in the tread is posted several times.. you'll avoid a status 7 error while installing..
