Hey,

Did you read my OP regarding 4.3? - Apparently not good enough :cool:

Here we go again:

Regarding Full Version Image.

Full System Version image has now been replaced by a shared folder, containing almost all the Apps I've removed from the Slim System Version. The only files you WILL NOT find in this folder, is KNOX, FOTA , the Polaris Viewer files+libs and a couple more you don't want...

The files is not packed in any way and can, without problems, be downloaded directly to the phone, the choice is yours.

Instructions:

Download link to the 43 Removed APKs folder, found below.

Download to PC or directly to your phone.

If downloaded to phone, go directly to step 4.

Connect phone to your PC, wait for PC to recognize it.

Copy the desired files to your External / Internal SD-Card.

Now using e.g. Root Explorer, note that it will start-up in your ROOT, copy the desired files to ROOT/system/app/

After copying, check and set file permissions, should be 644 octal.

Now reboot your phone and the selected app(s) will be automatically installed, ready for use.

Please report back it something doesn't work as I expected.

4.3 Removed APK's folder link

GT-I9506 4.3 Removed APK's from Slim Version. <--------- Download folder link, updated 2014-03-17

Please make all reports in the thread, I don't have time to answer all the PM's.

That's why I call it a SLIM version.

I tried to flash this last night and it didn't work.

I have an i9506 (SHV-E330L) Korean version of Galaxy S4, it's currently running 4.2.2 Proxyme ROM and Philz recovery. And everything is working perfectly fine.

So I downloaded 3 files and flashed them with Odin v1.85

- GT-I9506_v422_System Firmware

- GT-I9506_v422_Kernel Image

- GT-I9506_v422_Recovery Image

First, I flash kernel image, Flash successful. Then i flash Recovery Image, flash successful. But after that I can't access recovery to try to perform factory reset. Well, I thought okay, so I flashed the System Firmware, then the phone restarted but it wont even boot up. I can't go to recovery either. The only thing I can do is go to Download Mode.

So i tried to flash the Proxyme ROM and that's the only time it boot up and now it's working again. Is this ROM compatible with my phone?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] xenix96:
Dear friend your device is SHV-E330L Korean variante and not the International I9506.

Currently this Pre-Rooted Stock ROMs are only working with the International I9506

If something will change in future DeHaWK will post it in 1st Post.

So next time please read carefully OPs 1st few posts in this thread or other threads.

Hi DeHAWK.

I follow your conversation from a few weeks and I really appreciate all the work you provided for our phone. The camera of NOTE 3 does not interest me, and like many people I anxiously await the day when you shall show us that you successful to bring the Rom KK on F **** k phone. But I think some apps like toggles and settings S5 be interesting to customize and update our model S4. I wish you success in your quest for the GRAAL (KitKat) and offers you to offer you candy bar when you succeed. Thank you for your efforts .....

yea it would be great to implement the S5 features and UI to our S4. dont import the new settings ui cuz it needs some hardware like fingerprint and might cause problems.

Hi all

I'm on stock 4.3 Tmobile Germany firmware, if I flast the 4.3 slim with same csc version I'm triggering knox right?

Cause the only thing I need is root, that's why I'm asking!

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Harsher:
Hello.

I found this today, and first, Thanks a lot DeHawk for keeping our i9506 up to date.

I tried to flash the 4.3 rom you made, from the samsung 4.2.2 original version that I rooted through the method available on this same forum.

But unfortunately, While it says the firmware is valid, It doesn't work. When I start flashing, after phone being detected in download mode,

it just gives

"

Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> SGS4_43_Firmware.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

"

This mindf.cks me?

What am I doing wrong?

Has someone any idea?

Edit: Wait, just thinking: I saw something about "write protection; enabled" on the download mode screen?

Could it be that thing that impairs my ability to update the phone? If I am right, how to disable it?

Edit 2: Nevermind, I solved this by using Odin 3.

But on the other hand, flashing the CSC only and hidden file didn't solve at first the samsung keyboard Force Close problem, because I used the France-Orange file (I am french and on Free network, which share some bandwith with Orange).

I then trien to solve it by using Tmobile version, as actually I bought the phone from a T mobile customer, but it didn't work. Should it be really specific for my carrier, Free.?

I circumvented the problem by downloading google keyboard from google play but I am not very at ease with that as it is quite known to collect personal data, and third party app are not really good or trustworthy for me.

How could I make samsung keyboard working please?

Thanks by advance for your help.

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

Yes, it will trigger the KNOX bit. But it doesn't matter unless you later want KNOX. - Not sure about the warranty...

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

So you are on 4.2.2, lucky you. You don't need to follow the KNOX OUT instructions and use the combined CSC/Hidden image files.

The 4.2.2 to 4.3 is the exactly the same image as the KNOX OUT, but it should easier to flash CSC and hidden.

In 4.2.2 you don't need the hidden, just the CSC. So please try flashing the firmware again, but now put the 4.3 CSC ONLY in the CSC box of Odin. Try follow the 4.2.2 to 4.3 guide and flash the CSC you want it should work.

im running nordic firmware 4.3. would lke the nordic csc ofcourse
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey

What is it you don't understand?

It's quite simple;

Download the 4.3 KNOX OUT image, unpack the downloaded file with 7-Zip to get the md5 file.

Download the 4.3 Open Nordic combined CSC / HIDDEN from the 4.3 KNOX OUT section. Unpack with 7-Zip to get the md5 file.

If you have already tried any other root method, I recommend that you start with flashing your ORIGINAL firmware before using my image.

Make a factory reset after the original firmware flash.

Now just follow my KNOX OUT instructions very carefully.

I used Odin v1.85 but it turns out that newer versions also should work.

Specially the csc / hidden flashing is very important.

After successfully completed flashing instructions, I strongly recommend a factory reset.

Hey guys.

Received this PM from a guy in Australia, he had tried other root methods before he contacted me. I helped him and below here is his latest respond.

Thanks for your answer:

Well, I followed the instructions for GT-I9506 4.3 - Stable, slim and Pre-rooted

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6he3hscczvdLXcySXVPX0dfcWc/edit?usp=sharing

and used this as I am from France:

FTMBML1--------> CSC image only for GT-I9506FTMBML1 - Frence Telecom - Orange.

FTMBML1--------> Hidden image only for GT-I9506FTMBML1 - Frence Telecom - Orange.

then this one, as it didn't work with the previous one, as I bought a T mobile handset.:

DTMBNA1--------> CSC image only for GT-I9506DTMBNA1 - Germany - T-Mobile.

DTMBNA1--------> Hidden image only for GT-I9506DTMBNA1 - Germany - T-Mobile.

I am gonna make the try for just the CSC only file, I will make a system save then flash again these files.

If it doesn't work, I will try to use the 4.2.2 revert rom and restart from the beginning.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Because you have decided to install the full KNOX. Full KNOX package is not active as standard. So you have at some time choosen to download and install the full KNOX. My kernel and system can't prevent the yellow warning, as I don't expect people to have made the full KNOX upgrade.

EDIT

And you never told me that you had made the full KNOX UPGRADE.

If you had told me that, I could have warned about the yellow warning.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] mezo91:
Is there something bad from those 2 lines? It doesnt bother me but if there something wrong please do tell.

I was on latest 4.3 stock rom Nordic countries.

Flashed your knox out slim prerooted rom, the csc/hidden exactly, booted to recovery installed the csc. Did t wait for phone to boot, when I saw samsung logo I fprced booted to recovery did a wipe factory reset and wipe cache.

Anyway the rom is running, but if there is any problems from the yellow line please do tell.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
I've the yellow line too. No problems.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
I have a test kernel that you can try.

I've been running it myself with no problems. But again, I'm on 4.2.2 bootloader so I can't see any difference. I'll give you a link later today. It should at least remove one of the lines, the red one. But since this version is newer than an other I made for testers, it might perhaps do something to the yellow one too, I can't tell. The kernel functions itself is identical to the one you run now. I just made some minor changes.

Let me know if you are interested.

Regards.

EDIT

I'll of course also release it to my testers.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
New 4.3 special KNOX kernel send to testers. The red warning about SEANDROID ENFORCED is fixed, as in the previous version. But perhaps this version will remove the yellow warning too and just give the normal warning about the insecure kernel.

Just flash your new kernel,

No change, the yellow line about " warranty bit : kernel " is still there.

OK. So you only have the yellow line.

At what time in the boot process does it appear?

Is it only while you have the GT-I9506 logo and just before the boot animation?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] mezo91:
Can you briefly explain why these 2 lines appear?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
First line, the red one, saying something about SEANDROID NOT ENFORCED is because my kernel is in Permissive mode. That one I can get away by fooling the bootloader to believe that we are running ENFORCED. The yellow one, I never heard anything about until about a month ago. It seems to appear on phones where KNOX in some way has been activated. Still trying to figure out a way to fix it. Not sure if it's the bootloader checking something that was created by KNOX or because a bit has been set by KNOX somewhere.

The normal red: SECURE FAIL: KERNEL, is because I can't reproduce the original Samsung signature.

I'll release a new 4.3 system image, it will include a couple of apps that it seems people wants.

Will also release a special system image for you guys with this yellow warning.

Need to find out what the heck is causing it. Don't worry, it will NOT harm the phone. Actually running it myself...but as you know - 4.2.2.

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

If you are on 4.3, you will probably get:

I am on official 4.3 knox vodaphone spain

At the first time I flashed knox out after that

the csc and everything went fine.

After that I flashed Sony Walkman and had some problems with the sound.

So I decide tot do it again I flashed the original Spain vodaphone from Sammobile.

Did a full whip and tryd to flash knox out again to odin. At the end I get a yellow line says warranty bit :system and it is stuck in odin at flashing system.img at the end.it is not flashing me anymore 4.3 knox out.

When I am flashing the stock 4.3 there is no problem.my knox is 0x1.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey

Seems very strange. First of all, you should not have flashed the Vodafone firmware again to get rid of Sony Walkman. A factory reset would have removed it. Furthermore I don't know that app; Sony Walkman. I tried to find it at Google Play, but with no success. Should it be compatible with our phone?

There shouldn't be any problems with flashing KNOX OUT again. Do you have KIES installed? If yes, get it out of your PC or prevent it from autostart with Windows (msconfig).

And kill all running KIES processes.

But best to uninstall it and keep only the drivers. Sometimes KIES can really screw up the flashing in Odin.

If you don't have Odin install at all, try reboot PC and try another USB port. What Odin version are you using, also trying a different USB cable sometimes help.

When you have done all of the above, make sure phone is fully charged.

Go to Recovery mode, make Factory Reset and then Clear cache.

When phone reboots, go directly to download mode and try KNOX OUT once more, following my guide very carefully. Report back.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Well, the systemui.apk has nothing to do with the KNOX OUT. It's mostly in the kernel I did the work. In the system I just removed the KNOX and other unwanted stuff. But what about the API level and the versions of smali/baksmali. When I first made the DeOdexed apks, I realised that my smali and baksmali wasn't doing the job right. They didn't give me any errors while decompiling and compiling but some apks simply didn't work when installed on the phone. It turned out to be the versions. They were simply to new (latest release). So I switched back to an older version and it worked.

You could grab the original two files and deodex them on your system to see if it helps. Btw what about your jdk?

See ya
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] morenoro:
You can try this:

1. Open SystemUI.apk with zip or 7zip and extract and backup these:

- res-layout-system_bar_settings_view.xml

- res-layout-system_bar_notification_panel_title.xml

2. Back up the two archives (you´ll need after)

and delete them from SystemUI.apk

3. Now you can decompile and recompile SystemUI.apk

4. After that, insert via zip or 7zip the two archives into your compiled SystemUI.apk, and voilà.
