No, and it won't. Search this thread and you'll find the official answer.

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ----------

There is a bug in ODIN that requires to do twice the flash operation, unchecking the option for autoreboot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
That's not entirely true. There is an issue with the "Boot to download mode" with AFAIK all S4 ROM's, making it useless IMO.

When you power down the phone and boot to download mode using the HW buttons (pwr/vol down) the Odin flash works first time and no need for the silly 2nd flash.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] TheMattMercy:
So, I've run into a few problems.

I flashed the 1.0C from this thread via CWM, and it was successful, but it doesn't fix the camera problem, and I lost my signal. Also it takes FOREVER to boot up.

I then tried to rectify the signal loss problem by updating my modem as you instructed.I was on MF9, and according to sammobile, I should be on NG2.

The only problem is that I can't find a modem-only version of NG2 and from what I understand, KNOX is a horrid ordeal to go through with. So, I downloaded NAE from this thread, and flashed it in ODIN.

I powered down completely, and flashed it multiple times, but it wouldn't work. It would work when I was on standard kernel, and my 3g reception seemed better, but my apartment isn't in an LTE area... Should I be going after NG2, and if so, where can I find it modem-only?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
Living and learning. So, the advice would be entering download mode with hardware buttons :victory:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
Yes, works every time for me, I used to do the voodoo double flash thing until realised you just need to hard power off then manual to download mode (another bit of voodoo I used to do was three button combo until hawkerpaul taught me that all you need to do is hit either volume down for download mode or volume up for recovery as soon as you feel the vibrate from power off, and that's it :good:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gleggie:
Have most features been added back in yet? Or is this still mostly vanilla android
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
Sorry to quote myself, but the issue is back. Phone reboots with no sound at all (silence mode).

This is an installation from scratch of 7.9 (wiped all).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
Really, I mean, are you kidding me?????

At least read the OP if not the thread, oh, and perhaps just flash it and have a look!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] TheMattMercy:
I've got the same issue now too x__x

I even switched did a clean wipe and went back to my old ROM, and the sound is still gone! :(

EDIT: On the positive side, I have LTE.... But that's not much use when I can't even call anyone <.<

EDIT2: I reinstalled the MF9 modem, then rebooted, and my sound is back, and my LTE seems to be working still... Strange... Camera still doesn't work, but I'm at least one step forward. I'm on stock SlimKat kernel, btw.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] saintxseiya:
You messed up your modem / LTE drivers and bootloader, google for it. The sound issues come from this and some other strange behavior

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9505 mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
It does not apply to me as I did not mess with bootloader and I really doubt that modem has anything related to this sound issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Baracs:
Recently got back into adding roms - used the stock EE rom - rooted with CFautoroot jflte - installed Twrp 2.8.0.1 and tried a few roms here to go from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 - nearly all had issues until I came to your rom.

It was a pleasure to see such a fine rom and gapps install with no issues. Everything I have used works perfectly and hopefully all the stuff I have not tried will also work perfectly. :silly:

Many thanks for the rom and look forward to using for a long long time.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
Flashing new modem on old bootloader has everything to do with losing sound, and possibly WiFi and a whole world of other woes!!!!!!!

Equally flashing old modem on new bootloader will cause the same amount of fun :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
Jim, I'm not losing WiFi neither sound. Only a glitch after booting. I'm flashed a new modem to solve data/signal lost as per Tylog's instructions.

Sound is working ok, just it appears disabled after booting. How could I check whick bootloader am I using and where/how to upgrade it if necessary? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HaTrED_:

Whats your bootloader and what is your modem?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
Do you have Knox?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FlanjeUK:
The modem comes in 2 parts, you can flash ANY GSM Modem (Modem.bin) with ANY bootloader.

It's the LTE Modem (NON-HLOS aka WiFi-Fix) that's bootloader specific.

:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
You can use any GSM modem, but you can't use just any NON-HLOS aka LTE modem or WiFi fix.

Using an non-compatible NON-HLOS modem will cause WiFi and sound issues.

guys, a silly question : can i use the modem i want with slimkat ?

i have an old one installed coming from last jb carrier ROM (xxudmi1)

maybe my reception problem (in norway) were because of this old thing ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] SkyKer93:
It could be the cause of your problem , I had no problems with my old jb modem but it works better with a KitKat modem just flash the latest modem (for KitKat), if you still have some problems you can try other modems, not all work good in every country (in my opinion) :thumbup:

I have the latest stable release (7.0) and I took my LTE SIM for my M8 on Verizon out to reprovision the PRL and such, then it got stuck in what appears to be GSM only network modes.

I installed another ROM with a backup and it works fine, is there a way I can switch it back to LTE/CDMA?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
It says clean install indeed, it's more about data's I guess for now.

If needed to break gapps backup/restore process it would be specified and probably happens along with new Slim Gapps.

Wipe data/factory reset doesn't break gapps backup,only wipe system does (when updating matching rom version of course).

Tylog, I think it may be interesting to other people. How is build test going? I mean, every Device Maintainer builds PCFR (Pre-Code Freeze) version by himself from source, tests every menu, every button, every setting and reports "Ok" or "Fail"? Of course, it's just my thoughts. could you tell us more?

And one more question: in Slim's Chamber of Secrets menu there's a reference to "Settings.java" file.

Is THIS the desired one? If yes, could you give me an example of "Secret" setting, because I can't find any in this file.
