All those having issues with Knox... Chainfire said the following at https://plus.google.com/u/0/+Chainfire/posts/5ggu7naWtaW

'CF-Auto-Root for the new SGS4 I9505 firmares (GG, H8, ...)

The new firmwares that came out today have SELinux enabled and set to restrictive. This generally made SuperSU sad.

Other nasty side effects of these ROMs include a new bootloader, a new warranty status inside said bootloader, the apparent impossibility to downgrade after having flashed the wretched bootloader, and a bad taste about Samsung in general.

I guess this all KNOX related or whatever, seeing as it was much hyped in today's unveilings and the ROMs were also released today.

It took all day but it seems like I have SuperSU (now v1.60) running properly(?) again, and I've made a new CF-Auto-Root package for it. Undoubtedly, after I get back all your reports about how it doesn't work at all or even a little, I will update the other CF-Auto-Root's, the flashable ZIP, and the Play Store sometime tomorrow. But not tonight - tonight I am le tired.

While this version should now be compatible with all sorts of Enforcing SELinux shams and other false-sense-of-security-inducing hypeware, it doesn't actually disable any system components. As such, every time you use root, you'll get a nice popup about how your system has been compromised by the nastiest of all attackers (namely, you). To get rid of this annoyance, adb shell or Terminal Emulator this command (after running su , of course):

pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid

That's about it. Oh yeah - don't run Triangle Away or Mobile ODIN on these firmwares until I've updated them, or your phone will explode. Enjoy!'

I followed everything he has said and my phone operates without any problems at all. I am also using Apex Launcher, I can resize the icons in apex settings for my homescreen, etc. Everything works and I have no regret. I am also waiting for Mobile Odin and Triangle Away to be updated. It is all thanks to Chainfire for his hard work for at least getting rid of the Knoxy thing.

Updated here, no problems. Stock unrooted.

as I posted in the thread : (( [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S4 | Ask any question | Noob friendly. ))

I'm now having problems which is that my Wi-Fi isn't working at all, it stays grayed out. Here are some more details :

Android version is : 4.2.2

Baseband version : I9505XXUBMEA

Version number : JDQ39.I9505XXUDMGG

Since I've been wandering about and I saw there was Wi-Fi fix thread, I used it and flashed it through Odin (the I9505XXUBMEA-Wifi one) but it changed simply nothing.

Then I found a I9505_XXUBMEA_Modem file, downloaded it and flashed it through odin. Nothing changed, wifi still not working.

It was updated through Kies which now tells me the firmware isn't supported by Kies and when I try to update it from the phone, it tells me I'm running an 'unofficial version'.

(Before that I was running stock rooted)
[Galaxy S 4 General] ewok666:
I was on MGA (pretty sure anyway), rooted with folder mount installed. Immediately after the upgrade a heap of apps (non root types) needed reinstalling as they kept crashing.

My main problem is that folder mount doesn't work and I have to make to with the crappy 8GB internal memory.

[Galaxy S 4 General] getdunexpected:
As far as I understand, only people with root are facing issues. Mine was stock DBT non rooted. I was skeptical about updating after reading all these posts but I couldn't resist and updated anyway. And thank god, it works like a charm! I'm on MH5 btw. And the battery life might have improved ever so slightly - I've lost 25% with 1:25 screen time 2 hours wifi(no 3G) in 14 hours! :)

And yeah, I updated with Kies. No OTA.

[Galaxy S 4 General] dagnammit:
Just to add I'm stock not rooted, just updated and no probs so far. As mentioned earlier though I can't see Knox or the lte option.

While updating there was a message from kies asking me to remove my sd card, something to do with apps installed??
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dean-xXx:
So, overall... is there any improvement over BMGA? The lag/stutter while scrolling app drawer is still there?

[Galaxy S 4 General] marcochapita:
Does anyone put knox already working? Because now we have know store in applications
[Galaxy S 4 General] DANOFDANGER:
I updated last night, things seem more stable and a tad faster.
[Galaxy S 4 General] negrobembon:
Being unable to even downgrade is way too restrictive, and also some people here cant even use a launcher, that's as restrictive as it gets
[Galaxy S 4 General] Obagleyfreer:
I actually found the upgrade really smooth and fast. I could install launcher fine and also restore my CM backup.

The only problem is you can't downgrade stock firmware through Odin, why would we want to?

Once Samsung release 4.3 then it won't matter anyway.

Can you change the SELinux status from enforcing to permissive by tapping SELinux in about device 3 times?

[Galaxy S 4 General] Moz007:
I wanted to try this new rom instead of my current MGA full stock, the result was catastrophic: errors in all directions, phone unusable and unable to return to MGA with odin! Fortunately, I was able to restore a nandroid backup, but restoring did not be complete because I still can not flash a stock rom MGA and I have my baseband in MH8.

The best is the enemy of the good! F *** ing true!

[Galaxy S 4 General] cosimoss:
Perfectly stable on this one and the most important option to arrive was the enablement of LTE:

Unbranded UK: PDA:MH8 / PHONE:MH8 / CSC:MHA (BTU)

All unbranded phones where originaly shipped with this option disabled. I had to use Battery Monitor Widget to set this option in order to get LTE working on O2 before this firmware arrived. Now it's all fine:

[Galaxy S 4 General] ixon2001:
I actually find this latest update to be good, battery life improved slightly and feels kinda more responsive than it did before, but i generally leave my S4 stock as i found no valid reason to root it or install any custom roms this time around like i did on past gen Galaxy phones.
[Galaxy S 4 General] damador:
reaon for root is titanium backup
[Galaxy S 4 General] dagnammit:
I'm unbranded on three, updated to the newest firm ware the other day but I still don't see an lte option.

Apart from that, I'm happy with this update especially the better battery life now.
[Galaxy S 4 General] gyrex:
I think battery life on mh8 is worse with internet usage on a mobile network when compared with mga but wifi life is better when compared to mga.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Obagleyfreer:
Apparently once you flash this MH8 update and then flash a custom ROM it triggers the flash counter and you can then no longer flash ANY stock firmware in Odin. You can't even re-flash MH8, so you're basically stuck on custom firmware.

I can't believe Samsung are pulling this crap!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] dazza7111:
3 don't use lte yet. That's why there's no lte option according to man in 3 shop
[Galaxy S 4 General] jayjay2244:
Im on official stock atm. Which i flashed with Odin. It still works...
[Galaxy S 4 General] Obagleyfreer:
So you upgraded to MH8, then flashed a custom ROM and then you were able to go back to stock ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 General] jayjay2244:
Yes, then flashed Android Revolution HD 3.0 and now im back to MH8. But after MH8 Android Revolution crashed all the time and i kept getting UID'S inconsistent..
[Galaxy S 4 General] marcochapita:
That's because three font have lte yet. When they have the option will appear :)

[Galaxy S 4 General] joecool666:
hi yes you can root and restore back to MH8 .but there is no triangle away fix yet we have to wait for c-f to update. so your warranty might be affected. hope this helps.

how to disable knox and this app checking? i can even play asphalt 8 because it is blocked.. :( damn you samsung... htc one? more and more tempting...
[Galaxy S 4 General] Hexgore:
There is no option to disable it. Seems to me that Samsung rushed out Knox far too quickly and didn't bother quality checking it. The update feature for the security policies doesn't work either and all the Knox stuff in the menus is in broken English. I hope they push out another software update soon to fix it.

All this is doing is pushing me closer to just flashing CM.

Which region has the least number of bloatwares included?

There are two MH8 ROMs as of now: BTU (United Kingdom) and TPH (Portugal). Both the same build date and changelist.

I downloaded BTU yesterday, but TPH came out right after, so I haven't flashed yet until I get your opinion guys. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Hexgore:
In theory if you're using general unlocked firmwares rather than network branded ones the amount of bloatware shouldn't be too different. But if you're rooted you can remove the bloatware yourself anyway.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pos51:
I've updated to MH8 a few days ago now and cannot see any app/evidence of Knox at all on my device. Can someone please point me in the right direction so that i can see what all the fuss is about
[Galaxy S 4 General] Hexgore:
This is how it happened for me. I have Mega installed and use it as my cloud storage. I went into Gallery and uploaded an image to Mega from there. The upload was successful but afterwards I got an error saying the phone had closed the Mega app because it was trying to gain "unauthorised access to system." Others have reported the same error just from trying to open various games. When the error comes up I tap the button to update the security policy but it does not work, it just tells me there are network problems even though I'm on WiFi and it works fine.

I went to the security settings to turn this feature off or at least try and configure it but there is no option to do so. The only way to disable Knox is to root and disable Knox processes with Titanium Backup or similar. The built in application manager in settings does not allow you to disable Knox.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Obagleyfreer:
Something I have found out is that you can flash custom ROMs on MH8 but if they come with the stock kernel then it will just freeze at the splash screen when you reboot.

You need to use a custom kernel with custom Samsung Roms not the stock kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dazza7111:
Asphalt 8 working fine here.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Obagleyfreer:
Try flashing a custom ROM that comes with stock kernel, for example Blackbox ROM, once you flash it won't boot up (unless you choose to install with Ktoonzes kernel)

It looks to me as though your System partition stays mounted until a custom kernel is installed.

Everyone is mentioning that you can't downgrade firmware if you have MH8, I think you can't update either.

I hope I'm wrong but I have a feeling that regardless of firmware version Odin will check your binary counter or KNOX Warranty status and just abort the flash.

I hope Im wrong!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] spark001uk:
Yep same here, keep getting the "whatsapp has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device" message.

This only seems to have been happening since yesterday for me, which coincides with an app update for whatsapp. However, looking at this thread and seeing it's happening with some other apps too, makes me wonder if knox also has issues?

Custom Notifications/Ringtones

Hi guys...

After updating via Kies and doing a full factory reset, when i added the MP3's into my SDcard on their "/media/Ringtones" folder it didn't updated the sounds list even after many reboots.

Searched online and i did a clear data and force close to the "Multimedia Storage" app and rebooted, and after i reboot it did updated the sounds list but the "Multimedia Storage" app kept the CPU always at +- 80% and the phone was draining a lot of battery and the phone got really hot even with the screen off.

Removed the files from SDcard and it is still doing the CPU,HOT and battery drain issue....

Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone know any fix....?

I'm really worried and i wouldn't like to do a full reset again and set it up all again....
[Galaxy S 4 General] LorDestinY:
Fixed it...

For some reason the "DRM protected content storage" app/service was bugged and using my CPU at full all the time even with phone idle.

It happened after trying to use mp3 files in my sdcard has ringtones.

Disabled the app and all good now.

It didn't happened before the MH8 update.
