I've read all the post from the beginning and it's two things I've noticed:

1. People don't read

2. They can't tell the difference between the old bootloader and the new/old bootloader and the new bootloader

just take your time and read take some notes if you have to
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cohiba90:
Yes, I do all of this and FAIL.

I don't know where is the problem:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
Reboot your pc.. try a different usb port ; use another cable.. all this are attempts that should be done..

EDIT also make sure you closed all the kies process in background using the task manager..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cohiba90:
Now, i can't install some apps from de google play.

For example, instagram, ando other apps, i can't update.

Why is that¿
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Clandaries:
Hello people,

this week i get a new galaxy s4 and i want to use the echoe rom because i used it since the beginning.

I have a question, can someone tell me how to install custom recovery and root the s4 without increase the knox counter?

Thank you and greetings from germany.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
If there is old bootloader no need to have any worryes... if not you can only have root but not recovery.. so you'll need to trip knox to have it.. not a big deal anyway.. ( only check your country warranty)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davtse:
unless your s4 happens to be on the old bootloader, not going to happen.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Clandaries:
Sorry for asking again. What is the old bootloader version?

Thank you
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
Got it already? If so go to download mode a check if there is any mention to knox in the top left corner
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Clandaries:
No no...will get it until friday...i hope so :)

Then i will ask again if i have it here.

Thank you :good:

Flashed the modem? Old or new b/l ??
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lymbe33:
i have the new modem and new bl ..the problem is that i can connect to wifi and i can make calls but i cant connect to mobile data :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
Mmmm just a stupid question.. maybe you need to set the apn?

If not just try to dirty flash the rom an top..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lymbe33:
already did it nothing happened...what do you mean drty flash rom ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
I mean flash again the rom on top without doing wipes
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lymbe33:
i just did it :/!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
It could be a problem with your provider. I've flashed the NB9 modem and boobloader today, after that KT-Kernel and everything is working great.:good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
As speedywayfan75 said or make sure you actually have the correct modem and bootloader.. go to setting/ info / and check for the basebad if it is actually nb9.. then type this in a terminal emulator ( i use rom toolbox)

su ( hit enter here)

getprop ro.bootloader (hit enter again)

It will give back a firmware name
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lymbe33:
ok i check it now my baseband is nb9 and my firmware is i9505xxufnad is right?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
Should look like this:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
Actually no if are on v16 !! Firmware should be nb8!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lymbe33:
where i can download it ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
If you want download this:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/p2qlsy19u2wq0r4/GT-I9505_WanamLite.XXUFNB9_Bootloader.tar.md5

It's the NB9 bootloader. Flash it with Odin. If wifi or mobile data not works after the flash, try KT-Kernel. That's my configuration.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lymbe33:
ok i will try and i will report you back if it works thanks :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] skeamznz:
If you don't mind being on the new boobloader you guys can always install the stock firmware 4.4 from sammobile I flashed it once and never had a issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wolper13:
Hmmm. Haven't seen friedrich post for a while now, at least a couple of pages back. Maybe he's cooking something hmmm.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lymbe33:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
Did you also flash KT-Kernel?

Here it is:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/i87uxw2l2us14gd/KT-SGS4-KK4.4-TW-INTL-02.24.2014.zip

Flash in recovery wipe cache and dalvik cache after flashing and fix permissions.

If that not works, i would call the provider and ask if there's something wrong.

Hi peeps.

Ive been been without broadband for a month or so now so desperately trying to catch up.

So i thought ok ill flash V16.

I hit an issue before evn starting.

My SD card seems to have been corrupted some how.

Question is can I flash the rom from the root of the phone instead of an sd card?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] shadeofgrey:
I'm having an issue that started at some point after I flashed the NB9 modems and bootloader. What's happening is anytime I try to go into the play store and download anything it won't progress at all. Nothing will download. Whenever I turn off wifi it will download just fine. I've tried reflashing the modem a few times but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I've downloaded things from the play store on this wifi connection thousands of times and ive changed nothing there so it shouldn't be that... Any ideas or anyone experience this?

Edit: uhm, just wanted to update you guys... I tried clearing data on the play store and now it seems to be working fine. Leaving this here in case anyone else has the same problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
Well, it doesn't matter what he's cooking for her. Important is what he will get for his work. Maybe a nice boobanimation? ??:laugh:

Wuuuuuh, I think i have to shut up now.:laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bennetski:
Well managed to flash the new Rom from the internal storage.

Next question.

I chose to have the custom boot music and although its good, its a bit good. I cant turn it off with wanam. What can I do ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] danyvw:
Using any file explorer go to system/media/audio/ui and find PowerOn.ogg and rename it as PowerOn.ogg.back
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bennetski:
Thankyou, can you tell me something else, where the hell has the email and standard internet explorer app gone ???
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] danyvw:
Maybe you never installed them from Aroma. You need to flash Rom again and select both apps during installation. Other way you can extract both apps from the Rom zip and put them on system/apps and fix permissions
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bennetski:
I aroma do you have to tick what you want or tick for what you dont want ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] danyvw:
Yes, choose custom Intall.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
What you want... if not selected is not going to be installed
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Stop lying to people ;)

Personal life?? Thats nice hahaha ;)

Can I be the biggest geek (not greek) there is? I made a "special" Note2 Echoe just for her.. with some special writing in the About Phone info ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Maybe I did!!!! Hahaha how old am I again?? :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dicko101:
Hi everyone, sorry, just looking for the best place to get advice on some issues Im having installing echoe v16? Can someone point me towards the appropriate thread?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Thaw.Bytes:
Don't be sorry, whatever problem your having, someone in the thread will be able to point you to the solution, So what problem are you having? that'll take out the guesswork, which is always a good place to start..lol
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dicko101:
Thanks Thaw.Bytes, some people like to get on their high horse about posting in the wrong thread. So anyway, I tried to install echoe v16 last week but had no wifi and the signal dropped every time the device woke up, so i tried to update the bootloader, which was probably a bad idea but I'm not too concerned about warranty and as long as I can still rom I don't have a problem with not being able to downgrade, but i had more problems, long story short some of the helpful guys on xda guided me to some odin flashable files that revived my phone which is where its at now, i have flashed I9505XXUFNB9_I9505NEEFNB2_I9505XXUFNB9_HOME.tar then I9505XXUFNB8_GSM_LTE_Modems. And my phone was stock, working fine, so I did a PTR backup and had another go at installing echoe v16 but still no wifi. So im now on the restored backup I just mentioned, I don't want to stuff around too much now as im not sure what difference the new bootloader and KNOX flag will make to rom compatibility.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Kamekazegoldi:
Since updating to v16 SNS (Social Network Services) is draining lots of battery.

I did a clean install.

Anyone else having this issue or knows where that comes from?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davtse:
Facebook contacts sync. That's always one of the things I freeze or delete immediately when I flash a new ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Kamekazegoldi:
It's deactivated....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davtse:
Sometimes that's not enough. Delete it or freeze if not using. Its draining your battery meaning its running in the background even if its deactivated
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lao Mayer:
I can't adjust the in call volume unless I move the phone awayfrom my ear in order to get the screen ON. I'm on v.16 with old bootloader and this is the first bug I faced so far.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Kappa Lamda:
Where is this to deactivate it... In TB I do not find anything
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davtse:
Its just SNS
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Thank you for the help you are offering my friend!! I truly appreciate it!! :)

Kosta my friend, the SNS.apk is in system/priv-app

Just delete it my man completely.. It wont affect anything else..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cohiba90:
my google play doesn't update the apks that they are installed.

Sometimes, i can't download new apks.

How can fix it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davtse:
Be more specific, is there an error that pops up or are you just unable to download? Can be so many things, Google service may be down, your service provider may be down etc
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cohiba90:
For example, google play tries to update tripadvisor and it is all the time saying: "downloading, downloading..."

This problem i have it with all the app that are pre-installed in the mobile and it is need it to update.

Then, i try to download other app, (from google play) and don't start downloading. It says downloading and nothing else.

I am using wifi conection and it goes good so the problem it is in google play.

If you need more information, i will try to explain it.

(Sorry about my english)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] minhas4all:

Echoe 17

Is there a Echoe v17 on the way? I really love your rom, But now im on the omega v24, dont ask why, just wanted to try it out. The batteridrain is huge on omega 24..:good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
The minute a new base is out my man, there will be!! :)

So far from what i understood Sammy is rolling the NB8/NB9 bases (which are the same in terms of changelist) to the rest of the countries... Hopefully soon we'll get a new letter ;)

Dont be sorry for anything!!

Just admit to yourself: "Hi, my name is loselvis and I have a problem.... I have to flash anything that can be flashed" ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Just longpress the home button once and clear recent apps... then go into playstore again and download...

Sometimes it does that to me as well and doing that fixes it right away....

I dont get it but google play services are really really unreliable...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
kinda relevant to the rom - anyone know why samsung didnt include ART?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lao Mayer:
Thanks, but that's not a solution, but a workaround. I used this a lot without the need of putting the phone away.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
Here is working proply.. is possible a conflict with any xposed module? Have you got any enabled? If so disable all by unthicking them and try re-enabling one by one..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lao Mayer:
Xposed is not activated. I don't need any modifications from it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] whitesnake:
another kernel with another governor maybe?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Lao Mayer:
Can't remember what kernel I used upon installing the ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
If you are on old bootloader you are for sure on jeboo (is not kt and you have wifi working) if not hard to find out..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] whitesnake:
you are on the default kernel

try Ktoonz kernel with Ktoonservativeq governor

Lol. Well if I had more info I would give it. Basically I've tried various times to flash it through odin. Tried the dual package and separately. Tried the double flash method and it looks like it's done but when I reboot the phone I still have NB8
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
Have you unticked auto reboot? And start in downloadmode manual and try another USB port.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davtse:
Manually boot into download mode. You don't even need the double flash trick. Just hold power+vol down till you get to download mode.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bennetski:
That's what I'm doing I'm manually going into download mode and then flashing through odin. I've also unticked auto reboot.

Can I just check what the procedure should be after its flashed and auto reboot is unticked. Should I manually reboot ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
That should be the trick. I've done it sooo many times since I have my phone, every time success with the first flash.

Just a little concentration is needed, 5 minutes not thinking on BOOBLOADER. :laugh::laugh:.

When Odin says PASS, remove the cable and hold the power button until the phone reboots.

as far as im aware you can just flash any 4.4.2 kernel without any issues, there are a few different kernels mentioned in the thread that you can try, if you wanted to, as everyone likes there own choice...although i'm still on the 'old' bootloader, so i can't say for sure, but i shouldn't think it will cause you any problems

Do this.. flash one previous rom, then, make format system from recovery, don' t make any data wipe, and flash the rom.. this will for sure solve
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cohiba90:
I get the same problem and i could fix it with that:

1- With Odin 3.09 install the full Official ROM I9505XXUFNB8 and put the PIT for I9505. Then reset.

2-when it is finished,use Odin 3.09 and put in BL the BL_I9505XXUFNAD and install the bootloader

3- When you finish, your mobile is with the baseband I9505XXUFNB8 and FNAD bootloader

4-with odin, Root the mobile with Cf-root for I9505

5-Install a custom recovery with odin

6- Start the mobile and insert the V16 Echoe in the mobile or in the Ext-sD

7-Use the recovery and serch the V16 and install as "custome"

Try it !!
