Well, must emit that I have actually not tested it with wifi. I'll test when I get back home. Have you encountered other issues that you want me to look into?

See ya'

Ok, as promised. I'm now connected to my WiFi D-Link router back home. This is written on my GT-I9506 while connected to it. I run a hidden network and have to add it manually. Please try to add it manually. Again I tried to add a screen shot. But I'm not allowed....don't get it..

NEW UPDATE

Right now uploading the French 4.3 system image to my Google drive. Will put it Online if any of you wants it. It's Pre-Rooted, normal odex and the KNOX files is Pre-Freezed (should work, meaning NO warnings from KNOX regarding root;).

For NON-Rooted device only, running STOCK 4.3!!!

Will be heading for bed now, upload complete.

i've created a 100/100 working EFS file , after i flashed to those Phones

Now Baseband Restored Succsefully , imei corrupted showed as /1

that's normal becasue this EFS parametres not matching to this phone (IMEI & SN)

Now Repair Original IMEI & enjoy

Note: When Flashing The EFS File you done with an error (Auth-Fail) D'ont Worry,

The Phone will 100/100 Repaired.

Requirements:

It's just us, you know...us from NSA.

Just to let you know that we keep an eye on you and your phone.

Well how did you guys get in here?

Sorry, we can't tell you. And if we did, it was no longer a secret. So please don't remove KNOX.:cool:

I've install CWM Philz and flash the ROOT file, but each time i reboot i lost SU ROOT acces, i must reboot and flash again the ROOT file (i've try the 2 files on this thread)

Do you think i can flash your rom ? cause you said :

I'm on Orange stock 4.3 KNOX 0x1 and don't know if i'm root finally :rolleyes:

I've made an nandroid back up on the recovery to be safe
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Repulsa:
Try to flash the su Binary by chainfire, if the problem gonna get fixed?!?or i might be wrong.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Ok, do not flash the Boot image and recovery image from here if you are on 4.3. Those two files are only for 4.2.2 firmware.

This is what I think you need to do: First flash the complete original firmware from Orange.

Then check if everything is ok, download and flash my 4.3 system image. Since your KNOX is now 0x1, you have nothing to worry about.

AFAIK, Philz CWM is not currently working 100% on the GI-I9506 device. I myself have stopped using CWM or any other of these revoveries. Now I only use Titanium Backup.

See ya':cool:
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Thx xenix96

I did some research and read some old messages. The problem is as you state, the CWM doing something when flashing csc. I was in January in contact with a guy who had same problem, he gave me this link to a thread here on XDA: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2622947

It explains why and how to solve the problem. It's something with 4.3 that doesn't like custom recoveries.

This guy tried the method and it made his CSC work again.

Ser ya

EDIT:

Link is not working...I post a new when back home.

EDIT:

Link updated and now working, those using custom recovery should read read and follow the described procedure.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] xenix96:
just flash any kind of 4.2.2 i9506 stock firmware.........then after reboot go in recovery and factory reset... .......after reboot 1 time to android just go in download mode and flash dehawks super slim 4.3 or 4.2.2 rom................ everthing should be fine now

do this and you will see there is no problem :)

cheers
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] boart:
You'r right, that was the problem.

So CWM can't handle the import of the csc file.

And one word to konw: I dont't care the knox status. I am quite sure that samsung can't void the whole part of warranty when u have a custom rom flashed.

I prefer a custom rom like cyanogenmod and im ok with it if the warranty doesnt include all parts of my phone.

<---- that was totaly off topic now :D

I might now have figured out how to change our cpu frequency from 2265 MHZ to 2300 Mhz as it should have been or perhaps higher...not yet 100% sure, but I'll give it a try.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] fridlack:
Hi DeHAWK

I just received my 9506 and I want to thanks for your work

And now i have some questions:

My device comes with 4.2.2, then, don't have Knox?

To upgrade to 4.3, does I need to flash via Odin the 4.3 image in the OP and in the same time flash the CSC?

I am from Spain, could I find any problem if I flash the Nordic countries CSC? Or do you recommend to extract CSC from 4.3 Vodafone Spain image and flash it?

And last one, do I need to flashthe hidden image after flashing ROM + CSC, do I need to reboot between two flashes?

Thanks again for your work!

Regards
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] sh0ne:
Dont let it upgrade by its self! Take only the 4.2.2 or the 4.3 from OP!
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey.

It's quite simple. Since you're still on 4.2.2, download my 4.3 system image, you'll find it in the OP under 4.3 stuff. Read the instructions carefully. Before doing any flashing, I recommend you to fetch an original 4.3 firmware from SamMobile (do NOT flash this firmware) and get your hands on the the files needed for me to make the Odin flash able files. Just follow the instructions regarding CSS for 4.2.2 and 4.3. Get your hands on Odin for flashing.

As already said, do NOT let the phone update to 4.3 by FOTA (Firmware Over The Air - try to disable). Then you are stocked with locked bootloader with no way to downgrade without breaking the KNOX security warranty.

My 4.3 system image is a full working 4.3 system, but without the KNOX and security policies and the ability to revert back to 4.2.2.

Please read the OP about 4.3, it contains all the information you need.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Alestilohomer:
The CSC for Vodafone spain will be useful for me too! I will receive mine in 2 days!

[MENTION=4188575]DeHAWK[/MENTION] Can you made a full stock 4.3 firmware (without knox obviously!), not only the lite version? It will be perfect, and then we can remove only what we want.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] mar10o:
Hi,

I'm waiting for my 9506 to come and I have some questions. I know the answer is probably somewhere on the 9505 forums, but I didn't find it here...

First:

Which one was the latest firmware with old bootloader (w/o KNOX) for i9506? I've checked I9506XXUAMJ2, and after unpack it, it have aboot.mbn file which means bootloader update? I need to be 1000000% sure, because I don't want to lock myself ;)

Second:

Can I use unsecure kernel (boot.img) from yours 4.3 with any 4.3 version? I'm able to repack tar files, so I'm going to build my own ver of XXUBML6 NEE with stock system image, only with custom CSC/hidden for my local providers.

Third:

Can we use modems (modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin) from KNOXed ver of firmware? If not, why?

I've made few frankenstein ROMs for the S4 mini community. Firmware was KNOX affected so I've just deleted aboot.mbn and 3 other files and it worked like that. After boot you only had to remove KNOX aps from system partition.

Fourth

Did someone tried to use CSC and hidden files from 9505 in 9506 roms? I was using i9195 LTE ver CSC in i9192 Duos and it worked!

The only thing that was wrong was the phone info under *#1234# menu.

So basicaly I want to build a ROM (4.3) that contains:

boot.img -unsecure Kernel from 4.3 DeHAWK ver.

system.img.ext4 - from latest 4.3 i9506

cache.img.ext4 - from latest 4.3 XEO i9505

hidden.img.ext4 - from latest 4.3 XEO i9505

modem.bin - from latest 4.3 i9506

Do I need to flash other files from 4.3 i9506 like:

NON-HLOS.bin

recovery.img (it's probably knox affected? )

rpm sdi tz? (don't know what's that for?)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Alestilohomer:
Wow thanks! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Wow, a lot of questions.

First:

Which one was the latest firmware with old bootloader (w/o KNOX) for i9506? I've checked I9506XXUAMJ2, and after unpack it, it have aboot.mbn file which means bootloader update? I need to be 1000000% sure, because I don't want to lock myself ;)

1) Due yo my knowledge, all 4.2.2 critical files, including bootloader, are all the same. You don't need the latest, but I myself uses the one you have checked and I'm not locked. AFAIK, only 4.3 critical files will lock the bootloader.

Second:

Can I use unsecure kernel (boot.img) from yours 4.3 with any 4.3 version? I'm able to repack tar files, so I'm going to build my own ver of XXUBML6 NEE with stock system image, only with custom CSC/hidden for my local providers.

2) My insecure kernel can be used with all European 4.3 system images, it's universal. BUT, since it's insecure, and I have disabled KNOX and some other functions like 4.3 security and policy handling you will find out that some functions are disabled or missing in the 4.3 system.

Third:

Can we use modems (modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin) from KNOXed ver of firmware? If not, why?

I've made few frankenstein ROMs for the S4 mini community. Firmware was KNOX affected so I've just deleted aboot.mbn and 3 other files and it worked like that. After boot you only had to remove KNOX aps from system partition.

3) You don't need these 4.3 versions, why should you? - It works perfectly with 4.2.2, just because they are a newer build doesn't mean that are better. And from what I've found out it's all related to KNOX and security. I do NOT recommend to flash 4.3 modem or any other original 4.3 files, at least not for now. Have heard rumours about 4.3 modems updating bootloaders themselves.

Fourth

Did someone tried to use CSC and hidden files from 9505 in 9506 roms? I was using i9195 LTE ver CSC in i9192 Duos and it worked!

The only thing that was wrong was the phone info under *#1234# menu.

I'm unable to answer this question, never tried and never had a GT-I9505.

So basicaly I want to build a ROM (4.3) that contains:

boot.img -unsecure Kernel from 4.3 DeHAWK ver.

system.img.ext4 - from latest 4.3 i9506

cache.img.ext4 - from latest 4.3 XEO i9505 <------------Why?

hidden.img.ext4 - from latest 4.3 XEO i9505 <-----------Why?

modem.bin - from latest 4.3 i9506 <-----------------------NOT NEEDED!

Do I need to flash other files from 4.3 i9506 like:

NON-HLOS.bin

recovery.img (it's probably knox affected? )

rpm sdi tz? (don't know what's that for?)

4) If anything else was needed to run 4.3, I would have included it in my version. You can indeed flash a 4.3 recovery and it will work, but it will give you a boot warning. I've tried it and I really do like the size of the letter types. But I went back to the 4.2.2 version, don't want to have to much unknown 4.3 stuff on my phone.

See ya
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] mar10o:
Thank you for your answers! Here are new ones :laugh:

1) Due to my knowledge, all 4.2.2 critical files, including bootloader, are all the same. You don't need the latest, but I myself uses the one you have checked and I'm not locked. AFAIK, only 4.3 critical files will lock the bootloader.

Ok, so I9506XXUAMJ2 is w/o KNOX and I can flash it through Odin before I start to modify my device? I want to have a clean stock firmware for emergency purposes.

2) My insecure kernel can be used with all European 4.3 system images, it's universal. BUT, since it's insecure, and I have disabled KNOX and some other functions like 4.3 security and policy handling you will find out that some functions are disabled or missing in the 4.3 system.

That's not really a problem if it's only security related addons

3) You don't need these 4.3 versions, why should you? - It works perfectly with 4.2.2, just because they are a newer build doesn't mean that are better. And from what I've found out it's all related to KNOX and security. I do NOT recommend to flash 4.3 modem or any other original 4.3 files, at least not for now. Have heard rumours about 4.3 modems updating bootloaders themselves.

I just want to have choice, because my network provider uses local roaming and it's not always working like it should. It's jumping from one BTS to another weaker or something like that.. modem.bin looks familiar, but I don't know what's inside..

I'm unable to answer this question, never tried and never had a GT-I9505.

cache.img.ext4 - from latest 4.3 XEO i9505 <------------Why?

hidden.img.ext4 - from latest 4.3 XEO i9505 <-----------Why?

I want to use XEO CSC, because there is no official firmware for Poland with specific settings, for example number formatting or APNs/browser bookmarks

http://www.numery.mobi/foto/500.png

4) If anything else was needed to run 4.3, I would have included it in my version. You can indeed flash a 4.3 recovery and it will work, but it will give you a boot warning. I've tried it and I really do like the size of the letter types. But I went back to the 4.2.2 version, don't want to have to much unknown 4.3 stuff on my phone.

Have you checked what's in download mode on 4.3 recovery? Any sign of KNOX?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] schnatzo:
Same problem here. I tried GT-I9506XXUDOJ2_NON-OC_v320 and GT-I9506XXUDOJ2-v2_NON-OC_v320.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Guys

Please chech under Settings that modem has been updated to same version as ROM.

If using XXUDOJ2 firmware, then it should show Baseband version XXUDOJ2.

Your problems sounds very much like it hasn't been updated when flashing the firmware using Odin.

Make sure to use Odin v3.10.6 .

Also; turn OFF phone, take out the battery and wait for a few minutes before you reinsert it.

Now you MUST go directly to Download mode - do NOT turn on phone.

Then just flash the XXUDOJ2 stock or repacked.

The the above procedure, called the 'battery pull trick', is also explained in my OP and several other posts.

Please test it and let us know the result.

Regards

DeHAWK.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] schnatzo:
Thanks a lot for quick reply. Here comes the result: The "battery pull trick" does not work for me. The firmware and the baseband-version was already the same. I also tried the repack-version of stock-rom, same problem. Then I installed the stock kernel back and Wifi works, after that I installed TWRP 2.8.7 instead of 2.8.5 und reinstalled your NON-OC V2 kernel. Now this works for me. :D

I don´t know, if using TWRP 2.8.7 or reinstalling the stock kernel and after that your kernel brings the result.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] SlaveSrbija:
For me is same firmware and Baseband version - XXUDOJ2.

Steps that i folowed is:

1. Flash stock XXUDOJ2 repacked firmware with Odin v3.09 and 'battery pull trick' - wifi works fine

2.Flash insecure OC kernel DOJ2 with TWRP 2.8.5 - no wifi

Now gonna try flash kernel with TWRP 2.8.7 then report.

EDIT:

Confirmed with TWRP 2.8.7 everything works fine!
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey brothers

Seems that you should only use TWRP 2.8.7.0.

When said, I only used TWRP 2.8.7.0 during my testing, never actually tested with TWRP 2.8.5.0.

So for everyone else: use only TWRP 2.8.7.0 when flashing my XXUDOJ2 stuff.

Regards

DeHAWK.

Yes. Twrp 2.8.7.0 solved my every problem with flashing GREAT newest DOJ firmware from DeHAWK.

Ok, those who use kernel adiutor and want to take backup of your profiles can do it: Go to system root/data/data/com.grarak.kerneladiutor/files/profiles.json and copy it to sdcard or extsdcard. Then after flashing or updating copy and overwrite it. So you can keep your personal profiles and settings in safe.

What is repacked verssion and this hidden image? I dont understand it. What is difference?

[MENTION=6824000]chrobakx2[/MENTION] - try WIPE all and reflash rom. I have i9506 from Polish T-Mobile and every of this DOF and J2 roms works well
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

Sorry for the late answer, but I've been busy.

Well, in the repacked firmware I've removed the hidden image, everything else is normal.

So what is the hidden image;

Normally, operators (ISP's - Internet Service Providers) use the hidden image to install a lot of applications on your phone, these can be everything from totally useless apps to more useful once.

So ISP's, normally, don't play with the system image when pushing their own apps into your phone.

A hidden image will NOT be deleted by a factory reset. You will therefore see them again after a factory reset.

My latest kernels and systems will always delete the hidden partition, so all these apps will be deleted.

Let me give an example, some of my users in Australia actually have GPS apps installed by their original hidden image, these apps comes from their ISP. If they are useful I don't know - this I will let them tell us.

The Open Nordic firmware only contains one app in the hidden image and believe me - you don't need it.

I hope this helps you to understand what a hidden image is.

You're of cause welcome to ask further questions if you fell for it.

Regards

DeHAWK.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] maccaberry:
Hi DeHawk. Can tell you that the Navigon software installed by Australian Samsung (via the Mobile phone carrier) is not worth it. Much better alternatives on the playstore. The one installed in Australia is a cut down version and you have to pay real money to download most of the useful features. In other words it is bloatware/crapware and not necessary. Please continue to strip out that junk the hidden image! Most sim cards will install the truly useful programs that the carriers provide.

Hi there, great rom so far and kernel also :good:

I have minor issue with doj2. Can't see any bt connection status when I connect my smartwatch. I mean two little dots around the bt icon.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] ilfavi:
The rom runs quite good. Sometimes it lags and I have to clear memory or restart. It is far slower than a whatever cyano 11/12/12.1 rom but it's incredibly fast for to be a Samsung rom.

There are no malfunctioning at all apart from this very little annoying bug: after every restart, the notifications access panel resets itself and I have to manually re-check all the entries. The same thing happens to some app that forgets his default assignment state.

This is normal behaviour for Samsung Rom and LE BT connection, you'll get the dots connected to headphones or a speaker.

If that's true, seems I had somehow disabled btle in previous dof2 as two dots were visible when same watch was connected.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Genebaby:
That's strange, I've never had the dots with a watch connected.

Same for CM based Rom, I have never been able to see the watch connected, the BT icon always looks like there is no connection.

I figured it was a low energy connection thing.

Stay tuned
