[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The first thing to do is backup all the data from internal storage. Then grab a PIT file for the I9505 (should be easily found on the forums) and your stock ROM from your carrier. Point Odin to the PIT file and flash the ROM in the BL slot (I assume you flashed last time in the AP slot). See if that restores the device. But be prepared to take it in for service if this doesn't work.

How to unlocl bootloader and disable write protection?..may model is gt-i9505
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The bootloader is already unlocked on these devices. If you are having issues you may not have an I9505, but an I337 (AT&T S4) dolled up to look like an I9505. To verify, enter the device's download mode and look for the model number there. The displayed model number will be the correct one.

KNOX preventing from downgrading to Android 4.3 or 4.2 ?

Hello Everybody. Something prevent me from downgrading to android 4.3 or android 4.2 on my S4 I9505 and I'm wondering if this could be KNOX related :

- At first I had my S4 I9505 running firmware Android 5.01 I9505XXUHPK2 and it was not rooted. My plan was to downgrade to Android 4.2 or 4.3.

- As I wanted to save the EFS Directory I start by rooting the device using CF-Auto-Root as described here : https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2219803 that was not such a good idea as this turn the Knox flag to 0x1 but I that I was not aware of this side effect...

- then I downgrade to Kitkat 4.4.2 using odin to flash i9505XXUGNK2_Repack_XEF_@EDZAMBER.tar.md5 and subsequently flashing Bootloader_GNK2.tar and Modem_GNK2_FULL.tar

- Everything was fine at this point and I tried to flash various 4.3 and 4.2 firmware starting with XXUB (kNOX free) XXUD (including KNOX) XXUB or XXUE and each time the result was the same : I got a FAIL! (Auth) . After this error I reboot in download mode and flash i9505XXUGNK2_Repack_XEF_@EDZAMBER.tar.md5.zip frimware or any I9505XXUG firmware successfully but I can't downgrade.

Some point that may matter In download mode I have in the upper left corner :

WRITE PROTECTION : Enable

eMMC BURST MODE enabled

here are the details of the Odin log :

Perhaps it will help you if you read and understand the entire thread "downgrade lollipop to jellybean?".
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twick:
Thanks for pointing me to that thread, at least now I understand the issue with the bootloader. I'm tempted to try the method explained in https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76258311&postcount=51 Do you know if it has worked for many people ? Also I'm not sure I understand it correctly : do you really have to flash the file bootloader_i9505_nb2.tar and the file Wifi_i9505_nb2.tar (in PDA) twice ?

I also understand from that thread that there could be some 4.3 firmware compatible with 4.4.2 bootloader, are you aware of any such firmware ?

how i do flash android jellybean on the I9505 S4?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawke84:
I'll change the wording on this, what i mean is that you cannot use knox software if your company uses it to allow you to use your own device for corporate emails etc.

you CAN continue to use newer firmware that contains knox but the device will always be considered to be insecure.

hope this make sense

Done with Samsung

I'm done with Samsung because of this. I was going to upgrade my Galaxy S2 to the Note 3 but looks like I'll buy an LG or Sony. This is unacceptable to me. In the last two years that I've owned my S2 I've gone through 3 phones because of general hardware failure, never because of a brick or bad flash. Even under the most gentle care, I don't trust any smartphone to last 2 years without needing to be serviced.

I'll vote with my wallet.

Custom Kernel

Sorry my question, can i install any custom kernel zip on my I9505 Stock Rom 4.2.2 XXUDMI1 with new bootloader and i have Knox 0x1, i have custom recovery can a flash it ?

Thanx
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
No, I'm not guessing, I'm simply READING the forum. There are multiple reports to confirm this is the case. I haven't tried it myself, because I was not dumb enough to flash the leak and/or the Knox bootloader from the later builds, although I was dumb enough to buy the S4 in the first place, which is my last Samdung product of any kind for the rest of my natural life.

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

Since you have already triggered the Knox fuse, there's nothing to worry about, since you cannot unring that bell. You can flash a custom kernel with custom recovery, if you want to, because it won't change anything. It's not going to be any more triggered than it already is. It's a binary state: 0 or 1. It's not a counter.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterParker:
ok thanx, I heard that some user were without sound and wifi and phone? could happen?

Thanx again
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
That happens if you flash the ROM with the old (non-Knox) bootloader. If you flash the full ROM with bootloader, you won't have the issue.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0ch3:
Just flashing CF-Autoroot worked for Colleague of me. But you will trigger knox to 0x1. If this happened already, you have to worry about nothing.

But you could use the prerooted 4.3 Rom If you have flashed full 4.3 with the new Bootloader.

Hello to everyone!

I would like to buy an second hand Atrix for 100 euros and I don't know if it is a good deal. As (former) owners of this phone, would you do this deal?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
So why are people so bent on not willing to search even the most basic things? :rolleyes:

STOP BEING LAZY AND USE SEARCH.

Hi peslap,

Your thread has been moved from Atrix 4G General to Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. Please post in the correct sub-forum in future.

--wedgess
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
Avg deal on Atrix - 50-80 USD

not sure what the conversion rate is from Euro to USD, but as long as it falls in that range it is a good deal.

I would definitely get this phone again. despite all the drama that has happened with bootloaders, ICS, etc., my time with this device has been great. It may have hit its official EOL and may slowly be marching towards its developmental EOL (remember, epinter said he had issues getting 4.3 to boot at first, and we don't know what kind of revamped system KK will bring), but it still is able to do the basics and provide a good performance to the user of the device. Case and point, look at how many ppl are still tracking this device/using this device.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xfire68:
I just bought a used one on The Bay as I felt it offered a good deal for $95 in great condition. It was unlocked but, needed the Bootloader unlocked and Rooted. Non-contract phones for around $100 USD are mostly single core low storage and RAM. There are other older tech phones out there that fall in this category but, I went with the Atrix and so far am happy I did!:good:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
It's still a good buy since you can unlock the bootloader, and have fun loading custom Roms.

Really the unlocking of the bootloader is the only thing that saved this phone.

The ability to throw (say for example) Cyanogen Mod on this phone makes it a good primary phone, and IMO an excellent secondary device...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidrums4:
As a current "user" of a Motorola Atrix, I encourage you to not do do so. I don't know if that's a cheap price but with the wifi/bt problem I got on my Atrix (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1205775, that's why I wrote down "user" between quotes: because of that my phone not only got wifi/bt broken, now speaker doesn't work anymore and can't pick up calls) I think people must not buy any Motorola phone again. It's incredible that someone make chips with planned obsolescence.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdysj:
Of course good phone,as if you don't watch hd videos.;)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpl101:
I love the phone so much I've gone through probably a dozen over the years. I don't want a new phone with a larger screen, I like a small phone. I like hdmi out, swappable batteries, and micro SD.

As the last post mentioned, the phone does have a serious design flaw. The WiFi/Bluetooth chip stops working. That's the biggest reason I've gone through so many of these. I know people who have never had the problem, but I've had it on close to a dozen deviCes. Perhaps it's my usage that gives me such high failure rates. As of right now, there is no known fix for the WiFi problem, the.main board requires replacement.

Your mileage will vary of course and you may get an Atrix that lasts you for years with zero problems. My first one lasted over a year.

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

Also, all the other parts are very easily replaceable, like the screen, digitizer, speaker, etc.

Only problem that can't be fixed cheaply is WiFi. Besides that, It's one of the easiest phones to work on.

Here's a little clue to the question of attic being good. I I was recently upgraded to the Sam d4 by Att and liked it until they locked it down. I I kept finding reasons to send it in and get a replacement that was not locked down. 3 times.

Finally I sold it and bought the attic new on eBay for 118 USDA. This was the phone I was upgraded from which I had unfortunately broken.

I loved the attic and hope to use it for a while.

I don't watch movies or television on my cellphone ever.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportscrazed2:
I paid $40 on ebay for a used one. Condition is better than i expected to be honest. Everything seems to work fine but if I had to use it with motoblur i would skip it. Honestly couldn't give 2 craps one way or the other if bluetooh dies off. Wifi would be a bummer but not a deal breaker for me.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
So what you're saying is, you're pleased by the overall condition because you're a very non-demanding person with low standards?

I mean most people would definitely be very upset if their bluetooth and/or wifi quit working...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sportscrazed2:
I'm pleased with the condition because I paid $40 for a phone that was $200 3 years ago and everything seems to work. I never use bluetooth so if it happens to die i would never even notice. If wifi died that would be a bummer but I only really use wifi while at home and when I'm at home i'd rather use my laptop or nexus 7 than my phone so it wouldn't be that big of a deal.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aarond1004:
Bluetooth? Why? Who uses it and for what? Earsets? More of a nuisance than anything else.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
Your opinion, not the majority opinion of others.

By the way, a little fyi. Did you know that there are laws in place about driving and phone usage? Did you think about the fact that bluetooth allows drivers to use their phones without breaking laws? Oh and by the way, for military members like myself, its against base policy to talk and drive. Which means that bluetooth is something that can help servicemembers answer their phones without violating policies and getting their on base driving priveledges revoked.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aarond1004:
FYI talking while driving is talking while driving through a warder or not.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
Hands free = no violation

Not hands free = violation

Bluetooth = hands free

[THEME] Transparent Statusbar & Toggles (for stock Jellybean)

My bad, I made a couple of changes on my system, I only checked it on a unmodified LGSystemUI.apk. However, I forget I changed framework-res.apk & android.policy.jar. I feel dumb, sorry. I'll see if I can patch it.

PLEASE BEWARE THAT STATUS BAR IS

NOT

TRANSPARENT ON STOCK LAUNCHER, ONLY THE TOGGLES ARE.

Apex Launcher works fine

I was able to make it last for only a little awhile (on stock launcher), but after awhile it would change back.

Anyways this method is Universal (will work on all stock Jellybean L9).

Flashable zip here

I see your running lgms769 correct. I should be able to simply create a flash-able zip for you.

However, I would have to do some testing on a odex rom. My 10d is deodex, not sure if using my apps will give you a bootloop.

Hi bro..if u want transparent statusbar on custom launcher u need to modify 2 files; android.policy.jar and LGSystemUI.apk, its ok for deodexed system, but there is a small problem, if u made modify on android.policy.jar (deodex) and try to push that file in framework odex,that will cause bootloop. Bcs all files inside framework(odex) folder must be odex, for system/app(odex) no problem if u have deodexed app like lgsystemui.apk.

To prevent this problem use android.policy.jar odex file ;)
