I resist long time on old bootloader.

But, when my first year of warranty pass without any problems I decided to flash new bootloader.

And yes, stability and battery life are simply better on combination new bootloader and new ROM. Definitely!

You don't need to flash the whole new stock ROM only for bootloader. Google and you will find new bootloader and new modem files only. First flash that (bootloader+modem) and then new custom ROM.

ho to get wifi to work on 17 with old bootloader
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr.Yawnie:
Worked for me straight out of the box with kt kernel and NB8 and NB9 modems. Didn't have to make any changes on v16 in order to get wifi to work on old bootloader.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nrps1:
For some reason this crashes Odin3 v3.09 when you click on start (admin + win7) and crashes Odin3-v3.07 once it has started the process. Any other ideas please?

I've tried a few times with no luck, also tried the KT Kernel, no joy. Tried updating AP and CP with GSM_Modem_XXUFNAD_and_LTE_Modem_XXUFNAD as well just in case, but nada.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] loselvis777:
wifi

I must say that i have tried everthing. im on the new bootloader. I have flashed this with full wipe 3 times, but still my wifi dont work. Then friedrich420 gave me a link for the non-hlos.bin. Flashed that, and still nothing. Then i flashed the rom v17 with full wipe and kt kernel.. And yaiiihaarr.. I have wifi...:D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] aljo00:
First impression is great!

The smoothest rom so far.

Comming from Dan GE 4.4.2

Great work!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
Try to extract the files from tar and flash one by one with the 2 flash method with a manual reboot straight in download mode between the 2 flash..

Reboot your pc.. put the phone in download mode with the key combiantion and not from power menu..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ken2802:
can i just flash these modems?

if so do you have an link to it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] otcd:
Guys thank you for this new rom, but are you sure on this strange rom number? Isnt the change log too much big and far from the rest?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nrps1:
Just tried the bin extraction actually as I've started everything again and going to use the KT kernel as above suggests that works.

It worked (in as far as it let me extract/install) in standard download mode (key press). Fingers crossed once I install v17 this will solve!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
If now works there is no reason that it shouldn't with v17
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nrps1:
Wifi works! Now to get everything restored/set up (again)!

Thanks all :D

PS - The Kernel, is there a particular main difference/preference between the four options?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
2 are custom kernels 1 is stock repacked from fried with init.d support..1 is complete stock and 1 is complete stock repacked from jeboo with support for old bootloader.. aroma is coded to show compatible kernel based on the choice about the bootloader you have made..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ken2802:
where can can i find the NB8/9 modem for the old bootloader?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] big_b0sss:
full wipe done the wifi fix great work dev thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] oluwaponmile:
You can use the SystemUI of v16 if you can't wait for a fix......that's exactly what I did and everything works fine. You don't need to flash back to v16.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr.Yawnie:
If you go to EchoeRom.com and to the oage where you have download links to i9505 echoe, you will have a link to NB8 modem. That's for new bootloaders because it has NON-HLOS in it as well. All you need to do is to open that file with 7-zip, delete the NON-HLOS from there and then odin flash the file only with modem.bin in it. Or extract modem.bin from there completely and flash that straight with odin 3.09 in CP
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] loselvis777:
What wifi fix?:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nrps1:
Ah yes I appreciate that, but wondered, what is the actual difference between them, and which is most favoured for what reasons?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ken2802:
wifi still doesnt work :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
Custom kernel allow you to perform modifications to governors, cpu, volting scale and so on ( main KT as talexop is claimed to be as stock as possible for a custom).

You should visit each tread for detailed info about each one..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Guiry:
The same for me, wify doesn't work, I've installed modem I9505XXUFNB8, even so it didn't work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
Tips are:

New bootloader (i mean anyone with the knox string on top left corner when in d/l mode) flash the nb8/nb9 stock - or bootloader modem.bin e non-hlos.bin- and then flash the rom

Old - no knox string in d/l mode- pick jeboo kernel and need ONLY modem.bin.. if accidentaly flashed also the non-hlos.bin flash one older (4.2.2) on top..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ken2802:
what do you mean with the last part?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Guiry:
**

Sorry for this stupid question, which is the new and old bootloader?

Is this the new one I9505XXUNAD?

Tks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ken2802:
did you even read what he wrote?

Old - no knox string in d/l mode
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
I mean that if you have flashed by accident a non-hlos

from new base on an old bootloader this will break wifi and/or sound.. so flashing again the correct one (old for old bootloader) you'll be fine again..

Is it not a stupid question.. point is that it has been answered milions of times.. even in my last post( download mode- string about knox!!!).. anyway yes if you have the fnad you have the new but not the newest.. so flashing that one you'll be fine..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Quiety:
First of all, there is no better rom than echoe ! I am on the old bootloader and I never changed the modem since v14. Now I changed from v16 to v17 and my wifi isn't working anymore. I tried the new modem but the problem is still there, wifi isn't working. Please help me :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ken2802:
but i flashed nb8 (modem.bin) a few times by now and wifi is still broken.

Or do i need anothr one?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] RossFixxed:
You need to flash the boobloader, link is under the v16 rom on echoe site, and the modem. Rename bootloader removing .Md5 extension. Try kt kernel.

Fixed it for me. All links on echoe downloads section, flash in odin. Read my previous posts in this thread, Friedrich really helped me fix it fast!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ken2802:
the problem with the new bootloader is knox, which wont allow you to go back to prior version.

Maybe its a good idea to implement it to the Installing instructions to flash newest KT Kernel via recovery again, if Wifi's not working?

tapatalked by an Echoenian on old b/l
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ken2802:
it does, just flash the new kt kernel
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] leoniedelt:
Wifi worked first time here. Had to choose whether i wanted EE/T-mobile or Virgin when i first booted it up? But it has worked absolutely flawlessly. It helps that i read friedrich's post and followed his instructions to the letter... ;)

Will do the battery.bin thing in the morning and see how i am doing on the talexop.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] s.p.m:
Flashed the official 4.4.2 Brazilian Rom first, then V17

trying out friedrich420 kernel and so far so good.

Everything is working absolutely perfect so far, will see how battery goes while at work tomorrow

by far the fastest and smoothest Echoe

Couldn't thank [MENTION=4401403]friedrich420[/MENTION] enough and rest of the team

Great work

THANK YOU :)

can someone help me? i flashed v17 with jeebo kernel on old bootloader.everything fine except wifi which is not working. i did a full wipe and try to install the rom again with kt kernel and it's block on samsung logo. what i have to do?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
Simply reflash with jeboo without wipe
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kvlq:
i flashed now v17 with jeebo(wiped, its a problem?i saw your answer later) again but my wifi is still not working. another idea? :| i also flashed the nb2 modem. nothing changed.

Try latest kt

https://www.dropbox.com/s/1itpw85wnqrbg2y/KT-SGS4-KK4.4-TW-INTL-03.09.2014.zip

Or maybe you have flashed also a non-hlos.bin?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kvlq:
how should i flash that kt kernel? simply put the zip on the sd card and flash it via recovery? and yes, i flashed only modem.bin not the non-hlos.bin because friedrich said that if im on old bootloader i should flash only the modem.bin
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
Yes like all kernels
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
Ktoonz kernel is my preference for old bootloader, otherwise your advice is correct.

KNOX = flash 3G+4G modem

no KNOX = 3G modem only, Ktoonz/jeeboo kernel
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kvlq:
i flash now again v17 with jeebo and after that i will flash that kt kernel that you gave me. i will be back in 2 minutes with news. hope that it will works.

V17

Hi.

This rom is Excellent but i have just 1 small issue with it.

1. Fast Dormancy comes up with an Error "error occurred in sub:main_vv3 (java line: 380) Ref: attached jpeg.

How do i get rid of the "Padlock" in the Navigation Bar?

I could not have WiFi with your modified kernel (yes I have the latest bootloader and NB2 modem) I changed the kernel and it worked straight away.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angeloumbao:
After flashing the latest version why does my phone always reboot to recovery after the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen? On old bootloader.

*can install the rom well, bu won't boot just keep restarting to recovery. any help?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] BlackAngel1971:
@ Friedrich420

Thanks for the great work. :good:

The v17 is running super fast and extremely low battery consumption is recorded.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ra6o74:
If you did what the dev said in the OP, just go to recovery and wipe cashe and dalvic cashe
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angeloumbao:
so no need to wipe data? i'm coming from omega v24.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
would also love to know the reason why fast dormancy crashes on the new roms :/ worked on the early versions

kernel is probably same issue i had, i think the wrong kernels (at least ktoonz) got included as a mistake.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Acer4605:
first of all this is another great ECHO rom no question about that

I really like the fact that we can choose for the different options to customise the setup to our own taste.

Some remarks

Concerning the bloatware if I'm not mistaken their was a request to adapt the title bloatware in order to clarify if you need to select the items that you want to be included or don't want to be included, unfortunatly not adapted perhaps for the next release.

I also noticed that the homescreen is off center and as such the weather widged google quicksearch are for me on the center page dispite the fact that the homescreen Icon is on the left side of the "homepage" were the weather widget is installed on.

Concerning WIFI I'm on a new bootloader.

Due to my own stupidness creativity of flashing and other things I had to flash my version 3 or 4 times and during the flashing I changed the kernels I used

adams Kernel thanks to the upload of [MENTION=4714483]daxgirl[/MENTION]

Kt kernel

Talexop Kernel

I can confirm that my wifi worked out of the box the only side note I have here is that I had to turn it on manually in previous versions it was turned on automaticly

Kernels:

Adams kernel it's a little bit difficult (as a noob) to adapt the frequenties and other tweaks you have to install an app like android tuner free don't know anything about the battery life since I just used it shortly

KT Kernel was on the old boatloader battery friendly, on the new bootloader I don't know it yet perhaps [MENTION=5269805]Mussels84[/MENTION] can give his thoughts about this

Talexop tried it on the slim version (but since I don't have any email apps I went back to custom version) [MENTION=2601728]leoniedelt[/MENTION] who's the Mistress(no disrespect :D) of powersaving tweaks might give you a hint or 2 in order to extend your battery life there.

unfortunatly the theme redkat 1.2 is not working on this rom. it might take a couple of days before the OP is adapting his thread, however he might not very much like our Echoe community since we are updating faster then lightning hehehehe.

thanks to [MENTION=4401403]friedrich420[/MENTION] and all the other defs for creating such a great ROM and being kind enough for their endless support on their ROM

you guys have my deepest respect!

This thread's community is simply unbelievable! The way you guys help each other and provide feedback is just one of a kind, really!

I don't have the device (unfortunately), but from reading the posts here it just makes me admire your determination, guys... old bl, new bl, this kernel, that modem... jeez, makes me relieved we have only one working bl and 1.5 custom kernels for the n3 ;)

All my respect for ya guys! Just continue being the amazing bunch of jewels that you are!

(And update the damn bl already, will ya ;))

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ra6o74:
You had to wipe data before flashing the rom. IF YOU COME FROM ANOTHER ROM IT'S A MUST!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Acer4605:
the bootloader or the boobloader :p :angel:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] daxgirl:
I would, actually, RESPECTFULLY, disagree :)

The truth is, that wiping data is a long time dying dinosaur of android flashing comunity. I mean, flashing a new rom replaces your system apps with other kind of system apps from the same oem that in 99.9% of cases have no problem using the same sql database (which is your data, basucally).

So, dalvik executables are being rebuilt upon reboot anyhow anyway... the only thing I see fit to wipe in most cases is the cache partition.

My theory is - flash dirty unless proven wrong. Meaning, wipe data if needed post factum...

But that's just me... and now [MENTION=4401403]friedrich420[/MENTION] will kill me, so farewell to you guys... ;)

Hey,

I’m also on Omega V24 and would like to try this ROM.

Don’t you have problems with missing WiFi? When I tried this previous ROM version v16 I could not get my WiFi on.

I’m on new bootloader: BL_I9505XXUFNAD_481100_REV06 and modem: I9505XXUFNB9_GSM_LTE_Modems
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angeloumbao:
Sorry can't tell you at the moment. Because I can't still get the rom to work. I'm on the old bootloader BMG5.

Did everything I can Wiped Clean, Wiped Dalvick Cache, and WIped cached parition and in aroma did full wipe.

Everything in installation runs smooth. But after the installation process I still can't to boot it right. Stuck on Samsung Galaxy S4 logo and always reboot to recovery. Tried different kernel but it wouldn't just work. Can anyone help?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Darkwing_X:
Already tried, wipe cache and dalvik again in recovery ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angeloumbao:
yes, tried everything. But when I install another rom still boots okaybut when gonna flash echoe again same thing happens. every boot on s4 logo restart on recovery directly. any idea?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] daxgirl:
Try downloading the zip again, make sure md5 match.

Then reinstall. If it still reboots into recovery, try flashing cwm 6.0.4.4 compatible with your bl in odin when it does. See if it'll boot then. Sounds like for some reason it's recovery corruption in your case.

Anyhow, try re downloading the file if you haven't already done that :)

Edit: make sure you're installing kernels that are compatible with your bl. Failure to load system into ram after loading kernel may also cause recovery reboots.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] s.p.m:
Fast dormancy is working fine on new bl

In fact it was already pre-disabled so didn't need to do anything :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tabish84:
Where is the link for new bl. I am on fn8 bl
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angeloumbao:
Downloading now. I'm on 6.0.4.7 would flashing a newer recovery will be better rather than a previous one? And can't see a 6.0.4.4 recovery my last Philz is 6.15.9 can't seem to find a lower version. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] snwman:
Tried upgrading from v16 yesterday and had 3 problems. 1 was aroma installs jabbo (spelling) kernel even though I selected talexop kernel. Im on old bootloader which his kernel works fine for as I was using it before upgrade.

Another after installing rom was the 4x5 launcher cant remember the exact name but not the s4 one starts with a c. The widgets dont align properly. So reflashed and selected note 3 and worked fine.

Also on contacts menu I use my sim contacts but it showed no contacts at all. Now its strange cause v16 worked fine.

Im sure problems have been discussed already read back few pages couldnt see them but im only awake so could have missed them
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angeloumbao:
+1 to the kernel names randomness.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mupper:
THX for this rom.

I have the new Boatloader and the 16er Echo Version. No Problems.

I installed v17 with default kernel, new Modem and i didnt get WIFI to run. Make complete whipe, tried it 3 times, no luck. Tried different Modems, no luck.

I installed the Rom with the ktoonz kernel and i get WIFI!

Dont understand that.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] daxgirl:
Mannnnn... just shows you how much I understand in s4 recovery vss... jeez!

Anyway, if it STILL loops back into recovery after you redownload and reflash the rom, then flash the latest pure cwm you have available for your bootloader.

Cheers, my man, and good luck! :)

or stay on 6.0.7.9 version since the versions of Echoe Roms are going so fast that you keep on Flashing forward and backwards in order to keep up lol

If you keep going back to recovery system is not well formed once installed.. make sure the rom you have is not corrupted by checking the md5..
