Post #7 --> Oden Section *** Updated***

Added new Odin3 v3.10.6

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

Do you have Samsung KIES installed?

If yes; Un-install it, just keep the drivers. Odin and KIES just don't like each other.

If no; make sure to use latest phone drivers from Samsung.

Make sure your USB port is working 100%

Make sure to use HQ USB cable between PC and phone, original should work - is using original, try an other cable.

Even if you can use original cable to charge or access phone doesn't mean that it's OK for Odin.

You can also try the pull battery trick.

Have you ever been able to use Odin to flash firmware?

Regards.

Hey bro

I9506XXUDOF1_I9506FTMDOF1_FTM was replaced yesterday The previous upload was a corrupted download, just didn't realize it until to late.

The new version should be OK.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Barjak95:
I don't have Kies and I have the original usb cable that came with my phone...Odin and driver versions are the latest,I flashed many firmwares and other stuff on my s3,s5,note 3...even on I9515 value edition...its the first time this is happening...maybe I need that PIT file to flash anything?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] kotaxor:
it happen to me before, changing another cable works for me.

Does the smart watch connection work well in XXUDOF1 ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] GTI-9300:
Yes. I use the Galaxy Gear V700. No problems with Connection and Re-Connection
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Genebaby:
Thanks man. I'll give this a try I again I think.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

I see, you're not a beginner. I need to know if you have ever flashed your GT-I9506. I think the answer is no...

Last time I heard about this problem, the guy actually didn't have a GT-I9506 but a GT-I9505 and the symptoms was exactly the same...no pit file found.

I made him an image including a pit file but he realised the problem before flashing it.

Last thing I heard was that he went to a service center and they flashed an original GT-I9505 image. Never heard from him again.

Flashing a pit file should be the very last solution, it's a dangerous operation and should only be done when all other possibilities have been tried.

I've flashed the pit file several times, but only for testing purposes. Have never ever had a pit file problem and believe me, I've been doing a lot of flashing also bad ones.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Barjak95:
Im sure I have the I9506 :D but anyway thanks for a quick answer,Ill try to change the usb cable and see how that goes :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Ghorin:
You can also try with another USB port of your computer.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

This tells me a lot. Problem seems to be the hidden image.

This also explains why my repacked NEE version works - skipped the hidden image...

Regards.

EDIT

You can with no problem use the repacked. It's almost the same, just removed the hidden and replaced the cache image with NEE and modem with latest.

We need someone using FTM as service provider to test this original firmware. It wouldn't surprise me if it works for them.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Cashano:
It seems if you try to flash FMT and it fails it destroys PIT so you cant flash Repack, what i do is flash I9506XXUDOD3_I9506NEEDOD4_I9506XXUDOD3_HOME then repack then slim :)

Hey bro

Sounds possible. I think I have to totally forget everything about the original FMT firmware and then warn people's about flashing it.

To all: need someone on FTM provider to test the FTM image.

Everyone else should stay away from the original FTM and use my repacked FTM firmware.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

OK that's it. NO MORE FTM firmware. Will be removed, again.

I'll post a PIT file for Odin with flashing instructions.

Regards.

EDIT

Download link for FTM original firmware DELETED!

Now you guys know why I always try to use NEE (Open Nordic) firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Information for users with PIT file problems after trying flashing FTM orignal firmware.

OK guys, below you find a zip file, msm8974_pit.zip.

It comes from my own GT-I9506.

Download, and unpack using 7-Zip.

Put the extracted file msm8974.pit in a folder where you can find it again.

Now fire up Odin v3.09 on your PC.

Press the PIT button and select the unpacked msm8974.pit file.

To the left you will see the follow being marked: Auto Reboot, Re-partition and F.reset Time.

Do NOT change anything!

IMPORTANT: Turn OFF phone, remove the battery and wait for a couple of minutes before reinserting it.

When battery has been reinserted, go DIRECTLY to Download (Odin) mode.

Now connect phone to PC.

Wait for Odin to recognize it.

Now....guess.

Yes, press Start

Odin will now flash the PIT file and reboot the phone.

Done!

Attention: I just flashed the below PIT file while writing this, using Odin v3.09. No problems what so ever.

BUT, my phone does NOT have a corrupt PIT file.

Therefore it's possible you must flash a STOCK NEE 5.0.1 firmware after the PIT file flash.

Download link:

MSM8974_pit for GT-I9506 Open Europe.

If in doubt about anything; ASK!

Please report back ASAP.

Good luck.

Well i thought i could flash Repacked or at least and older version of FULL Sammy rom, but no go kept saying NO PIT, so i toke my own advice and tried one last time with 1.85 but with new cable and port and it seemed to do the trick.

Hey bro

Did you actually flash the stock original FTM XXUDOF1 without any problems?

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

You should be able to use Odin v3.09, the v1.85 is just to old and not recommended.

Try flashing my pit file from the above post and then try flash repacked XXUDOF1 using Odin v3.09.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Genebaby:
Yes, it was fine, I could see the start screen to log into the phone up until I did your kernel and the slim/deodexed zips in recovery. I did them both together in TWRP.

Then the phone went to French and straight to Touchwiz interface with no login account. I changed language to English, got Titanium but it froze during restore. I was coming from a CM based ROM, but only doing user apps and data.

Hi! From up to down 4 times and I can´t find the CSC file for XXUBML6. Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

Something in the FTM firmware just makes the phone acts strange.

I remember we saw the same problem with the FTM firmware when we updated from 4.2.2 to 4.3.

FTM was the first to introduce 4.3 for our phone and everyone not using FTM before got themselves into similar problems. But not as broken PIT files.

It seems to me that FTM uses a different hidden file size than other European provides.

I recently read something about pit files in the cache image.

I'm gonna unpack the FTM cache and hidden images to see if I can find anything interesting.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

XXUBML6....that's an very old firmware - Android 4.3.

Have you considered updating?

I don't offer support for 4.2.2 and 4.3 anymore.

Perhaps you should try 4.4.2, much better that 4.3 or go all the way in and use Android 5.0.1.

After flashing this ROM my 3G just won't work anymore. Wifi works just fine, but dataroaming just won't do anything, I have set the network according to my provider, but still to no avail. I downloaded the full repack NEE ROM. My region is Netherlands (PHN or TNL).

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey bro

Sounds strange, normally people have problems with the WiFi.

Did you make the battery pull trick before entering download mode?

Normally, service provider setting are taken directly from the SIM card and should therefore not needed to be entered.

Please try this:

Turn OFF phone

Remove the battery and wait a few minutes before you reinsert it.

Now go directly to download mode.

Use Odin v3.09 for flashing.

The Open Nordic CSC is universal and be used on all international versions of the GT-I9506. They use it as far away as down under, Australia and New Zealand.

Let me know the result.

Removed Calendar

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to play with the ROM to make it slimmer :p by removing the stock Calendar, I wanted to use the Google Calendar instead, but I think I removed somethings that shouldn't, because now my google calendar or any other calendar I ve tried, doesn't sync with my google account. With one of the calendar I tried, it says "The android calendar storage is disabled" but it's not existing so I can enable it.

I'm wondering if DeHawk or anyone who can help me restore my default calendar, maybe create a zip file.

Your advise are welcome.
