[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Scope2:
As a long time user of Fox Hound (currently on v3.5), I feel like trying something else, but was wondering if somebody could write me a list of the various steps I need to do to move from 4.3 to 4.4, including bootloader, etc (including all bug fixes, etc required to resolve issues), please if its not too much to ask link to the various files I need to load. I had a close call last time I flashed and wouldnt like to spend hours working out how to stop the boot loop, etc, I had then, hence me asking for some help/guidance. :)

(sorry if it has been asked before, but there are hundreds of pages to go through.. Im not being lazy, and Im sure it will help other users moving on to Echoes rom)

Hello!

Thank you again for your great work.

I wanted to upgrade to 14.1 (currently on your other KitKat V2.2 ROM)

Did you depricate the other version since you seem to put allot of updates in this one instead of the other?

So i downloaded that Samsung Phone Info app stated somewhere in this topic. My current bootloader is I9505XXUDMH5. I understand this is the old version?

The part that scared me of is this

What does this mean for me? What reason would i have to stick to the old one? Is it something about KNOX or that warranty bit? (The Phone Info app says it's not found btw)

I hope someone can shed some light on this for me :)

Thank you for your time!

PS Nice touch on the "Boobloader" typo it cracked me up :)

the GE version is based on google edition roms. if google dont update it - the echoe team cant update it.

samsung leak updates all the time, so this one gets more updates. the new bootloader on v14 will give you KNOX. research it to be certain you dont care before updating, as it CANNOT be undone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Perfectly put!!

Thank you :)

Hello,

Thank you for your reply,

I've did some googling and found this page:

http://androidforums.com/internatio...security-locked-bootloader-new-firmwares.html

Basicly if i get the new bootloader i can enable KNOX

When i flash a custom ROM the KNOX bit wil be set to 0x1 and this will make the usage of KNOX impossible?

Also your warrenty seems not to get voided when the KNOW flag is set

So basicly i need to ask my self if i care to not be able to use KNOX? Or is there something else missing?

Am i on the right track here?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr.Yawnie:
Basically knox 0x1 means that your warranty is void, and Samsung doesn't accept warranty to your device anymore. So they most likely won't fix it if it breaks. This is against some EU directives, so if you are living in and bought the device from any European country that belongs to EU, you can theoretically fight against Samsung and gain back the warranty. Sometimes so they fix the devices without any action from your side, sometimes not.

But theoretically knox 0x1 means you no longer have warranty and that you can't use knox security anymore like you said yourself.

Wow Guys! I feel so helpful when you guys re-quote my instructions hahaha. for those who are having problem doing the steps just ask me away :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] maniaknl:
Thank you for your reply!

(Sorry for the questions I'm kind of a newbie when it comes to these things)

So basicly i need to find me a stock rom with the new bootloader and flash that on my phone prior to flashing this ROM?

I've been looking arroun d on "Samfirmware.com" would this stock ROM work? (Latest one from the Netherlands)

Model: GT-I9505

Country: Netherlands

Version: Android 4.3

Changelist: 2082040

Build date: Thu, 09 Jan 2014 12:59:25 +0000

Product Code: PHN

PDA: I9505XXUENA4

CSC: I9505YXXENA3

MODEM: I9505XXUENA4

Seems like the Modem is just NA4 so i probally need to flash the NA5 one over it stated in the first post of this topic
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
no.. that one is 4.3... so yes you get knox triggered but its not the newest bootloader that will allow you to use v14.1 without problems..

This one is the one you need if you are planning on flashing v14.1 http://www.sammobile.com/2014/01/16...-kitkat-test-firmware-for-galaxy-s4-gt-i9505/

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TheBeast:
I'm currently on stock 4.3 (with knox), rooted, got philz recovery. I'm wondering if i can install v12. I've been looking at this thread and I want to make sure I understood it well: So i need to clean the phone (reset and wipe), then there's something about android_secure (I don't have that so I'm guessing I can skip this? Does it matter?), then install zip through philz recovery. Right?

and

Q1: Does it matter what baseband I currently have? Or I can just install this rom from whatever fw?

Q2: Will I be able to go back to stock 4.3 again? And how, just flash it with Odin or...?

I apologize if I asked this in a wrong place. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr.Yawnie:
V12 installation is no problem for you :) just make a full wipe and then flash the rom. If mobile network doesn't work as should, you need to flash 4.3 modem, but I think you have one already if you have knox.

If you want to flash v13 or v14 (kitkat), you need to flash either NA1 or NA5 stock odin firmware first, so that you will get the latest bootloader. If you don't do that, and flash v14 on top of stock 4.3, you will have a fully functional rom WITHOUT wifi. So that will be the only drawback IF you flash v13 or v14 and not the stock odin flashable firmware.

With v12, you don't have to worry about that at all, just full wipe and flash the rom ;) make sure to make nandroid backup first so you can go back to where you are now. So yes, you can go back if you want.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
Good to see [MENTION=5327466]Mr.Yawnie[/MENTION] again on the tread. We can' t thank you enogh for what you do..!!

ONLY weeknights and then I want to do something else instead, rather than reading 20+ pages on all the threads every day. Sometimes more than 50 if there's interesting things happening. Too much for me to keep up haha. Next weekend I won't get off from army unfortunately, because I will have 3-day combat shooting camp over the weekend.. So next time you will see more of me in 2 weeks.. Plus tomorrow before I go back there :)

Okay just so I can confirm. I'm on Echoe 3 Jan KitKat 4.4.2. To get to Echoe 14.1 I need to do the following:

Install stock firmware with NA5 (backup data then wipe data)

Install the latest Philz receovery.

Flash Echoe 14.1

Done

Correct?

---------- Post added at 02:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 AM ----------

Slightly confused, have the stock leak now been removed?? If I cant get to the stock leak, that means I cant flash 14.1??

Yeah, it's like that.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kimitza:
Another succesful test,i flashed V14.1,then i restored V12. It's working too. Now i have NA5 baseband on 4.3 rom :).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] franzyroy:
It's normal, no reason that it doesn't work, there is no bootloader on Echoe.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] superbegita:
And yet you don't a ZeroLemon xd there it's theBIGthing ! I reach 17h screen on so for sure it's really amazing!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kimitza:
But i already flashed NA5 stock, before that i had NA1. I have updated boobloader.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] franzyroy:
it makes no difference what I say. if you can go back to v13 so Android 4.3, this is because it is a custom rom without bootloader.

---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

I don't believe you can comeback at a stock 4.3 with the bootloader of Android 4.4. I know several persons who have tried without success.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr.Yawnie:
You can't odin flash 4.3 on top of 4.4, but you CAN recovery flash 4.3 roms on top of 4.4 rom, especially if the rom doesn't have bootloader itself (pretty much every rom).

So yes, 4.3 roms work on 4.4 bootloader, you just can't odin flash Stock 4.3 firmware and get back 4.3 bootloader, that's when you will soft brick your device.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] superbegita:
Hummm i was ondering i want to flash v10 towars the 14.1 with the NA5...i don't need in logical to flash before hand the stock NA1? i can flash the stock NA5 then the Echoe 14.1 and Wifi will be ok? i have saw some people who had troubles on the Galaxy S team forum...but i wonder
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr.Yawnie:
Yes just flash NA5 first, no need to flash NA1. Or if you are on old bootloader without knox, you can just flash the rom without pain flashing NA5 and getting knox. Only drawback in this is that you won't have wifi. But if you have unlimited mobile data plan, then that method would work well as well :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] superbegita:
Yeah indeed i have no unlimited date (even if i use Opera who transform my 500mb in 2.5go hehe).It's for that i ask ok i see ^^ thanks you! so i amsh the NA5 stock firmwire then the E as i planned to do but was just wondering^^

I have use good trick for have my s4 (239€ in last August about i will say 300 dollars i think about) but in exchange i have a decent price to pay each month^^

By the way it's the best way to have very good mobile price and also for the i don't know how to say the suscribe for mobile.

I will say how it's going ^^ ah and i hope it's ok for you Mr Yawnie ? long time no see you i have read you was very busy.

For battery life i can't compare see i have a ZerLemon 7500mAh i reach easily the 15h screen on see 17h with brightness to 50% and Wietc with a various use (Xda developers,music,video,Opera etc).

Humm i am back so i have succeed for the NA5 modem BUT still no Wifi...i have use the CP ...NA5 .tar.md5 with Odin 3.09

My baseband is indeed in NA5 but don't know why it doesn't work...Impossible to activate Wifi or search some networks except in 3g/4g

Edit : yes again so i have flashed the NA1 and stil the same.....maybe the CSC what do you think guys? i am pretty bothering see i use usually Wifi...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] superbegita:
If i can allow me buy a ZeroLemon 7500mAh like me i hang in here 5 days with a almos 17h screen on with brightness at 50% Wifi etc and you will have a excellent TPU protection free with the battery^^ the weight is not that big

Ok it fix! it's was the Bootloader 1st i have to deal with him...but i prove him the respect it due to me! hehe no without kidding i have thought to seek an app for saw if it was my bootloader and indeed it was the...ME2 0.0 i have forget to check the update bootloader see i have never use it before as option...not surprising so...U.U

Sorry for distrub you next time i will o as i have just mad ehere seek and think xd

So for other people here my expérience! so with the NA5 bootloader and at least NA1 modem (baseband version) and the CSC NA5 it work perfectly!

i have reboot and my Wifi was activated! just to put my code for my Wifi.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] radko93:
I flashed stock 4.4 NA5. All four files. Maybe you don't have the new bootloader flashed.

Hehhe in same time^^ yeah indeddd i have noticed it after read to CHECK the update bootloader...but like it's was the first time of course.It loook like it doesn't have update it when i have flashed as you the stock NA5 leak so not surprising.

Hello KitKat!

Finally 100% working v14.1 :laugh:

Just odin the stock NA5

I used the old version of Philz, (last version of Philz 5) coz the new ones (Philz 6) got some issues. (Thanks Chief [MENTION=291422]Friedrich420 for this)

Flashed Echoe 14.1

After flashing 14.1 just before setting up the phone, let is settle for about 5 mins before setting it up. (Believe me, this was chief [MENTION=4401403]friedrich420[/MENTION] tip)

Minor weird issue encountered

When the battery almost out, at least 10% or 5% below (mine's 5%) the brightness bar disappear on the notification.

I almost freakout haha coz i ain't flashing any mods.

Just charged it and it will be back on the notification.

However, some apps and games got some problem running on 4.4.2 (FC, black screen, graphic glitch etc) and they don't like xposed or gravity box installed lolz.

But, it doesn't matter, those apps gonna update and fix anyways.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] apsis:
I'm just curious, do you guys think that while the leaked boot loader locks up against older boot loaders (no downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3), that Samsung might release 4.4.2 official that will be thinking the leaked loader will be higher - so that you can't update to the official version and will be stuck on the leak?

I'm just asking this because I would really love to flash the leak, but I'm afraid that it might be locked up for upcoming updates with the leak boot loader.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Abaddon:
that probably won't happen since they're the one who made it. lol I'm 100% sure you can update to a new BL once there is a new one. :)
