Nokia at its height did the same... they diversified their products and tried to satisfy all kinds of consumer... let's just hope Samsung's fate will be different from Nokia now...
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] android.zealot.fervor:
Lol.....there was a time when NOKIA was at its highest peak. But in the course of time,it starting descending very poorly. You know why,because of their poor software. Symbian was good at initial stage but afterwards it couldn't stand firm in the growing android and ios competition. I had Nokia n8 and its OS was more than crap and slow. There was lack of development for it and most importantly less number of apps. In addition to these reosons there were also many flaws in It which lead SYMBIAN to its DEATH. While if we move to SAMSUNG,I don't think so same thing will happen with it. Because Samsung phones run ANDROID which is one of the best OSes in today's market. And hopefully it will grow more and more rapidly with the course of time. The prime reoson which can cause SAMSUNG to its death is its softare optimization. The Ui and physical condition. But Samsung Is keeping its place by doing well with its UI. Well let's hope for better for both

Hey Guys!

I recently tried to connect my Galaxy s2 to Kies over WiFi instead of USB-Cable. It accepts the device and tells on the mobile screen the device has been connected and can be synchronized. But on Kies the connect-button doesnt go away...I know its a very common problem, but i havent found a solution anywhere ;__;

Is help possible? All drivers/firmwares are up to date and i already tried to reinstall Kies.

Its no firewall related problem and ive already checked the ports and shut and firewall down. Kies Air works flawlessly...but i need the outlook sync options >.<

I just flashed the new baseband but I know I be returning this phone back to tmobile a three to four months from now and I was hoping their was a way to flash the old baseband the MDL one and return back to the original 4.2.2 tw that my phone came with? if anybody can provide me witha link forum anything that can help me go back to the old baseband it be greatly appreciated! right now Im using 4.4 kitkat virgin rom

thanks a lot man helps so much! one more thing should I flash using odin when I install the older 4.2.2 rom or it doesnt matter what rom I choose to install the baseband? sorry for the noob questions :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
If you are returning, you must use Odin to flash the stock rom. No worry we are all noobs, some just know more than others. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
So by flashing a custom 4.3 knox free....I can still odin back to stock 4.2, triangle away, unroot and be good for warranty issues?

In other words theres nothing to worry about with flashing a 4.3 rom so long as I just go back to 4.2 and use the correct procedures to do so......with all the scattered info I was kinda concerned about trying 4.3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RiverCity.45:
If you are planning to return it, why not flash the OTA version of 4.3 via Kies just before you do and be done with it?

Sent telepathically
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
Im not sure im ready too...

The more I read here about the ota the more confusion I see...

I am confused about warranty, knox and all that...I have been around a long time and have owned all the gallaxy s phones and flashed em all but this new ota has me concerned....atleast with 4.2 I "know" ill not have any issues with warranty returns.

I dont have plans to return it....im thinking into the future a bit....

....I guess what im asking is....if I go to 4.3 can I easily odin back to stock 4.2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
Yes. Flashing a custom 4.3 rom through recovery (not odin) without the knox bootloader is like flashing any other rom. You can go back to 4.2 for warranty purposes just like any other time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
Thank you! :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 210euser:
If you just want a custom rom all you really need to do is update the bootloader or already be on 4.3 official then just boot into download mode use Odin 1.85 to flash twrp recovery wipe your data and flash the rom you want. Or just update to official use chain fire auto root and just update supersu it will disable Knox.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bballengphd:
Is there an updated bootloader/modem? I am on skynote 4.3 r9z, but my baseband is still LJ2, I need the mk5 modem for i317m.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 210euser:
If you can't find a Odin modem I would update to official then re root and flash away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bballengphd:
Thanks but I am not that keen on getting the official rom. For one I hate using kies, it was a mess when i tried to update with my old s3, so I have not used it at all. Plus I have tons of stuff on my current phone that i would need to restore after things are done.

Also, i'd rather not having to deal with knox if i can, even though the phone is out of first yr warranty period. I have always used custom roms on my note 2 and s3 so i will leave at that for now.:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] got heem:
Kies was easy to use for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] burnsfast:
I tried that method didn't work for me. I couldn't update or use superSU maybe the root I used didn't fully install but they way I wrote down to doing it on stock room works every time.

I haven't tinkered with any custom roms yet either, not sure what's the benefit of them
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 210euser:
The main reason to use a custom rom is to remove all carrier related stuff on your phone. It also let's you add different mods and features you want. For example you can use the note 3 roms. Pretty much turn your phone into a note 3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] burnsfast:
Oh.... now you have me at some interest. But is there a rom for my specific model of the note 2 to run the note 3 rom without any bugs. I've seen some for international ones the i5700 note 2 or whatever version that is but is there one for the i317m
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 210euser:
It looks like the DN3 rom will get an update tomorrow. Right now the only bug is the contacts app not working right. I'm sure that will be fixed. I've been using it and the note 3 features are nice.

---------- Post added at 04:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 AM ----------

I think it got re based off of the in n7105 init rom. It should work for the 317m. The OP should have instructions for the 317m.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] burnsfast:
where might i find this rom version for the note 2 i317m
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 210euser:
Look at the android development section for it. It should be one of the first roms listed. Just be aware if the update released tomorrow is re based off of the n7105 you will have to wipe again. It's nice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] burnsfast:
Thats the part that concerns me this is designed for the n7105 note 2. mines the i317m wouldnt this potentially brick my device or cause a whack storm of problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 210euser:
Right now you just need to flash the rom then devil kernel and the 317m modem. Don't worry you won't brick. I would wait for tomorrow to flash because it will be updated and it might have all the options for the 317m. I have a 317 myself
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] burnsfast:
alright ill wait till tomorrow. and hopefully i find a detailed description on how to do all this. ive only ever ran the s1 because it was bricked had to run all the modem the pda and pit or whatever a long time ago so my minds gone all fresh on the rooting and flashing roms. ive only ever run stock roms. but for 4.4 i want to get it on my device because i love the group play video and the screen recording and the other few things that are awesome on the note 3

unless there is a way to get all that on the 4.3 note 2 firmware that would be awesome as well

Hi,

I need help with rooting my HTC one xl. I have already unlocked the bootloader but cannot find any info on what to do next for my version of firmware. Because of the warnings I keep reading in the threads in regards to bricking the phone if you use the wrong software/directions I am a bit reluctant to try without some expert advice.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilviuMik:
Quick and dirty guide on how-to delete bootloader stuff that contain Knox from stock rom ( only works on Jelly Bean ) . On KitKat we have Knox 2.0 which is more harder to conquer :)

Only use it if u do not have KNOX WARRANTY in download mode

U need : a virtual machine or any linux environment . I use Vmware player + Linux Mint 16 x64

First download the rom from Sammobile and place it on your Desktop in a folder called work in linux

Let`s say we download Russia one for I9192

I9192XXUBMK4_I9192SERBMJ3_SER.zip

U can use this guide on other versions of this phone I9190/I9195

Firmwares that contain MK4/MK5/ML1/ML2/ML4/NA1/NA2 and so on from here have Knox bootloader inside

Only the name will be different but what is inside is the same

Only latest versions of firmware contain Knox Bootloader ( usually the ones released in late november/december 2013 )

Open terminal and type

cd Desktop
cd work

Now we need to extract it

unzip *.zip

U will get 2 files

First: I9192XXUBMK4_I9192SERBMJ3_I9192XXUBMK4_HOME.tar.md5

Second: SS_DL.dll

Now again in terminal type:

rm -rf SS_DL.dll
tar -xvf *.tar.md5

After it will finish to extract we can delete the files we do not need

rm -rf aboot.mbn - bootloader ( knox included )
rm -rf sbl1.mbn - part of bootloader
rm -rf sbl2.mbn - part of bootloader
rm -rf sbl3.mbn - part of bootloader
rm -rf *.tar.md5

Now we can place it back in an archive. Choose any name u want i had chosen original name for reference only.

tar -H ustar -c rpm.mbn tz.mbn boot.img recovery.img system.img.ext4 NON-HLOS.bin cache.img.ext4 hidden.img.ext4 > I9192XXUBMK4_I9192SERBMJ3_I9192XXUBMK4_HOME.tar

After comes md5 stuff

md5sum -t I9192XXUBMK4_I9192SERBMJ3_I9192XXUBMK4_HOME.tar >> I9192XXUBMK4_I9192SERBMJ3_I9192XXUBMK4_HOME.tar
mv I9192XXUBMK4_I9192SERBMJ3_I9192XXUBMK4_HOME.tar I9192XXUBMK4_I9192SERBMJ3_I9192XXUBMK4_HOME.tar.md5

Now transfer it to your windows pc and flash it with Odin :) Make sure u do not rename the file at this stage or md5 checksum will fail

Double check it before u flash, look inside the archive that u don`t have those files u just deleted :) Maybe u did not move the correct file :)

Is this BMK4 firmware different from previous versions by introducing Knox and improvement of battery? Can we transfer the rpm bootloader to previous version and enjoy the battery consumption improvement?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilviuMik:
I think u can yes :) But i also think some improvements were made in Modem/Kernel

That rpm.mbn file gets flashed in a special partition and does not get overwritten only if u flash a new one from a firmware that contain it. As i mentioned in other forum only last ones does contain it Russia, Brazil, Trinidad MK4
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trepanator56:
allows downgrade?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilviuMik:
Yes u can downgrade as long as u don`t flash new bootloader

Use the tutorial and remove the files from stock rom before flashing. If u already have the new bootloader on phone u are out of luck :P
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dijinn:
One question, I flashed the stock thing via Heimdall and my wi-fi is not working. I think it didn't flash the tz.bin, since I saw you say on other thread that it was important for wifi to work in Brazil...

Is there anyway to fix it? Or I got myself screwed?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilviuMik:
Flash it with Odin that tz file and u are good to go :)

Same procedure as making an kernel from stock or modem

tar -H ustar -c tz.mbn > name.tar

md5sum -t name.tar >> name.tar

mv name.tar name.tar.md5
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dijinn:
Well, we got another problem... Here... I'm on a MAC right now, so my only flashing thingy is Heimdall or ADB...

I tried flashing the tz.mbn file 3 times via Heimdall, it doesn't even open the recovery after I flash it... And wi-fi is never back...

I got ur version of the files and flashed everything again, still, no wi-fi, probably because of the tz.mbn

The funny thing is that Heimdall himself says the file was uploaded to the phone, but it seems it's not "installing" it if u understand what I mean...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilviuMik:
Sorry mate then :( flash an older file that does not contain Knox Hope u get your Wifi back :(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dijinn:
I solved the problem!

If someone else has trouble fixing the Wi-Fi after the flash via Heimdall, here goes!

Flashing TZ partition only won't do anything...you upload the file, but it doesn't seem to get flashed...

The solution is to flash both MODEM and TZ partitions... It seems that when you reflash the modem, the cellphone tends to check for TZ again and TADA! Now it will be there!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darktitor:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franzyroy:

So, that's the reason you removed the modem.bin file?

What is the risk to try? Except to have the new bootloader.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilviuMik:

modem is named NON-HLOS.bin i keep it :)

If u have old bootloader ( no knox in download mode ) yes risk is to get new bootloader with knox

Pls check on S4 forums maybe someone did the same as me with S4 and knows more :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franzyroy:

Otherwise, I followed your tuto and like I didn't see the modem.bin file, I removed it. At worse, I could flash it after.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilviuMik:
Yes of course , better to try then flash all the files and see after :)

Btw, S4 Mini Knox firmware contains:

sbl1.mbn - part of new bootloader , safe to delete

sbl2.mbn - part of new bootloader , safe to delete

sbl3.mbn - part of new bootloader , safe to delete

aboot.mbn - New Knox bootloader , DELETE

rpm.mbn - Resource power Management link

tz.mbn - Trusted zone ( Wifi won`t work if u don`t flash it together with new Modem )

boot.img - Kernel

recovery.img - Recovery/Download mode

system.img.ext4 - your apps/framework/android

NON-HLOS.bin - modem

cache.img.ext4 - CSC / APN settins / What bloat is to be installed depending on zone / carrier

hidden.img.ext4 - Another "system" part of apps that are too big for /system ( for now almost empty ) on S2 was full of apps

Try and see :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franzyroy:
Thanks ... I know for the S4(I9505), when we have old bootloader, we must put this (GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUBMH1.zip ) modem for that all works.

Found something related to persist.img.ext4

"persist.img is "persist" which contains data which shouldn't be changed after the device shipped, for example: calibration data of chips(wifi, bt, camera, etc.), certificates and other security related files. For sure even it's "persist" you still can replace it via fastboot, or change things if the devices is rooted, take it for your own risks"

Source: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12256604/what-is-the-use-of-persist-img-in-android

I am wondering if this is responsible for the messages sent to samsung at the first time a SIM is inserted or if the code responsible is somewhere else.

persist.img.ext4 is of a size of 4.14MB. I extracted using ext4 unpacker and found that it consists of an empty directory "lost+found"

I am not sure, so I think I should add this to the tar file just to be safe.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilviuMik:

Well i can`t predict if 4.3 or 4.4 roms will work on old bootloader :(

Let`s wait and see :) I hope they will work because i don`t want to activate Knox yet ... since i must modify Kernel to get better battery life. If i activate Knox i can`t do this anymore.

Ah wait now i read better :D Your Internal storage is "linked" with /data :) so when u Wipe data / factory reset u also format your internal storage :) Is not like S2 for example which had different partitions for both :)

That is kind of nice in one way in the case of a stolen phone where the thief decides to factory reset :D Btw, that sms sent when every new sim is inserted also might be helpful in the case of theft. Samsung would be having logs & could help. Maybe the Indian Govt. is forcing them to add that.
