There seems to be a problem with the way of your flashing. I also have the 4.2.2 bootloader and I have no problems, what so ever, with flashing anything on my phone. So I need to ask; do you have any kind of custom recovery installed? - If yes, that's the reason why you can't get it to work. Flash stock recovery.

Try another version of Odin.

If you have KIES installed on your PC, uninstall it.

Now use the KNOX OUT version instead. Follow the guide very carefully and everything should be fine.

from 4.3 bootloader to 4.2.2 one

hello,

i have one question. is it possible, to flash the old bootloader from android 4.2.2 without knox on my i9506 with android 4.3 and the new bootloader?:cyclops:
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey

Unfortunately this is not possible.

The bootloader can't be downgraded to 4.2.2 when on 4.3.

It's locked and trying to flash it with a lower version will therefore trip the KNOX Warranty bit.

Regards.

I have i huge battery drain when browsing and when the screen is activ.

I have 4.3 original

I want to flash the stock kernel of 4.3

Is it possible and where i can get the original 4.3 kernel?

I think its the kernel but not for sure

Is it possible to flash stock kernel without problems on the knox out version?

Hi

I m on 4.3 official unrooted from tmobile Germany jss15j.i9506xxubna2, I ve seen that this firmware exists here and also the csc, so if I flash it with odin following the instructions will it wipe my int sd and I ll need to setup the phone again?

I ve already flashed the same firmware moded with rdlv script but it failed rooting although it hasnt wiped anything...so?

Thanks a lot for the support!
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey

It will not wipe your phone. But I strongly recommend that you make a factory reset after a successful flash. Your may experience strange problems if not doing so. This could be anything from apps not working properly, strange forced close, strange battery drain etc.

Also be aware that this will trigger the KNOX warranty bit.

Happy flashing.

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

I'm pretty sure that this is not a kernel related problem. Have you tried to make a factory reset and clear cache.

My development environment is down atm. due to hardware upgrade.

But as soon I have it up running again, I'll make an Odin flashable 4.3 stock kernel image and put the download link in the OP together with a stock 4.3 Recovery image.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] SasukeJ:
Hi, I have one question. I'm now running stock 4.2.2, if I flash 4.3 knox out, then I can go back to the 4.2.2 stock again if I want without incrementing knox?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey

Yes. If you are on the 4.2.2 bootloader and you are if you're running 4.2.2 stock, KNOX is not activated. You will only see a boot warning about the insecure kernel. And, if you later on decide to go back to 4.2.2, all boot warnings will disappear.

The 4.3 boot warning about insecure kernel is just for information and has no influence on the operation of the phone.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] SasukeJ:
Perfect, already installed it and works perfect.

Can I now flash a custom CWM without triggering knox too?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] pamarakos:
Worked just great!! At last my phone is rooted:)

Thanks!!

There is just a change in manufacturer number or what is called in english it was jss15j.i9506xxubna2 and now it is jss15j.i9506xxubml6, csc is the same xxubml2! Is everything ok?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
No problem, go ahead and flash it.

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

This number is only an indication of the system version. In this case it indicates that the original system came from the Open Nordic firmware. I think it's being used during FOTA. But even if the number is lower or higher than your previous number, there is no changes in the system itself.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] pamarakos:
I also get system status custom instead of official...do I have to care?

I think somewhere I ve read that I could fix this with wanam xposed but I can t find it anywhere again...shall I keep looking and do something for this? Or it doesn t matter?

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] mezo91:
I have a very weird problem :D after charging to 100% and disconnecting from charger to use the device it heats alot and battery drains fast to 89% even if not using it, it has to drain fast. When it reaches 89% it becomes somehow normal again and when using it under same conditions as 100% it doesnt heat as much :S
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey

I agree, sounds very weird. Are you one of those who I gave the special KNOX test kernel or are you on the kernel included in the KNOX OUT image?

From the feedback I've received regarding the KNOX OUT version, it's very battery friendly. I was using it myself and never had any problems.

Right now I'm running the special KNOX test kernel which I gave to a few testers who had the 2 boot warning lines (a red and a yellow).

It also runs without any problems. I've charged the phone several times at both kernels and haven't seen this problem.

I'll make a test the next time I need to charge and keep an eye on it.

Btw...are you charging while phone is switched off or while its sleeping?

Personally, I always charge during night in OFF mode.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Just a screen shot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] mezo91:
Yes im using test kernel.

Charging while phone is sleeping not turned off.

Can you give me normal kernel to flash again? Or do I have to reflash rom?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
You mean the kernel from the KNOX OUT image?

I'll look into it later today.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] mezo91:
Ok mate ^^
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] pamarakos:
Hey mate I m also getting a red and a yellow line from the beginning, red says Kernel is not seandroid enforcing and the yellow says Set warranty bit: kernel

Should I flash the test kernel too?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] mezo91:
Yes, but the yellow line will stay.

---------- Post added at 08:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 AM ----------

@dehawk

Do you think its safe to try flash note 3 cm11?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
I'll modify the original KNOX OUT kernel and make 2 versions.

One for 4.2.2 bootloaders and one for 4.3 bootloaders. There will be no difference between them, but the 4.3 bootloader needs to be fooled to believe it's running ENFORCED.

See ya
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Yes you're right about the yellow line. Haven't been able to remove it yet.

Regarding CM11, the answer is no.

See ya
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] mezo91:
any one tried and reported back? i think i can make nand backup and try if anything went wrong i can restore?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
I'll not recommend you to flash it. It's to different. My development environment is now up running again and I will give it another try with the CM11 kernel.

See ya

EDIT

Just one problem, afaik CM11 is build on 4.4.2 and I atm don't have those sources for our phone...:mad:
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] mezo91:
there are cm11 build for 4.4.2 for the s3 i9300 yet no KK sources for it :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] pamarakos:
If I'm helping for the yellow line, when I flash a custom cwm instead of saying "Set warranty bit: kernel" it changes to "Set warranty bit: recovery"

I don't know if it's helping somehow, just reporting!
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
UPDATE.

Just came back from work, turned on my S4+ and put it on charge.

It was at 10% and is now sleeping. So far no problem. Will report back later together with a screen shot of CPU Spy. This should show if there has been any activity while charging.

Will during the charging also check for heating problems. But I won't wake it up until it reaches 100% (green indicator).

So stay tuned guys.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
UPDATE:

Phone is now at 100%. Checked for heating problems every 10 minutes; ice cold.

Deep sleep during the charging period. See screen shot below this post.

From my point of view, even the special KNOX Test kernel has no problems. Guys, I do know what I'm dealing with:cool:

Furthermore; some time ago I did some research, best way to charge Lithium Ion batteries is in OFF or at least not using phone at all while charging.

Battery now 99%.

60% load when doing nothing and no apps on background
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Just installed same app as you're using. It's showing wrong frequency.

It should show 2.67 GHz as highest CPU frequency. 2.23 GHz is totally wrong. I also have a few other apps, all showing right. Something seems to be wrong in CPU-Z. The other apps also show that nothing happens and therefore no load.

I can see you have WiFi enabled, try to disable it. I will now uninstall CPU-Z.

About CM11; Yes I read about it. I suspect they're using the old 4.3 drivers for the GT-I9300 to make it work.

I've actually been thinking about doing the same. It will of course require some work, but it might probably work....but no guarantee.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] diegodu27:
Why overclock a S800 ? its powerfull enough already, you dont need to overclock it
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] pamarakos:
I agree with you...it s just that if there will be any kernel with oc capability then there will be also underclock/voltage and other governors available as well:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] diegodu27:
Yea, but there will be no kernel or custom rom for this device anytime soon, because no one make an effort to port something to this great phone, i've been trying but I can't do it alone, I haven't enough skills to do such thing, im kinda sad about this phone ...
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] pamarakos:
Is there anyone having the following issue?

When switching off the phone after a day of use it shows the shutdown animation but instead of finishing it and turn off, it starts to play the bootanimation once and it s stuck there without getting into the system, I need to hold the power button for three secs and then it replays the bootanimation but this time it gets into the system normally, I power off again and then it switches off normally showing shutdown animation once and powers off!

Can I try something?

Thanks for reading...
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey, this could be an issue. Are you on 4.2.2 or 4.3 bootloader?

And if on 4.3 using the special 4.3 fool bootloader kernel, have you noticed any other problems?

Need to know if people on the 4.2.2 bootloader has the same issue or if this only appears on the 4.3 version.

Might be my build or the changes in the ramdisk.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey

Will need a kernel that supports OC.

Have actually been working on one and tested it. But stopped further development since I wanted to do it for 4.4.2.

Might perhaps release a test version while we're waiting for 4.4.2.

Would automatically OC to 2.5 GHz, not sure about underclock and under voltage control. The S800 is a pretty smart CPU, seems to fix everything itself.

Regards.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] pamarakos:
I m on 4.3 bootloader that gives the yellow and red line, still with the embedded kernel, not flashed the fool kernel, I can't remember if this issue appeared when on stock 4.3 but I think so, so I think it s not your rom's/kernel's problem!

I dont know what to try, it s strange!
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey

I've seen this before on my own phone. But can't remember the reason.

Have you removed or frezed any apps, othet than those I removed?

Try reflash the KNOX OUT system.

DON'T flash the fool bootloader!

After successfully flashing, make a factory reset and clear cache.

Please report back.

No, nothing more removed except some samsung apps added! I haven t factory reseted or cleared cache either but I haven't got any but any other problem with anything, everything is working just perfect so I prefer not to factory reset only for this:)

I just needed a hint if available...I won t flash the bootloader since I saw some guys had some issues and since the yellow line is still there I don t mind a red one too:)

I m fine with my ROOTED phone:)

If it comes anything to your mind please let me know to try it!

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Hey

I'm sorry to tell you...you need to make a factory reset.

But before you do that, you could perhaps help me.

I need you to flash the ORIGINAL FIRMWARE for you provider.

After a successful flash, please notice which of the red/yellow lines is still there. If both is gone...very GOOD.

And I think how to fix both.

After this test, flash the KNOX OUT as you did before.

DON'T flash any fool bootloader!

REMEMBER FACTORY RESET after KNOX OUT!

UPDATE.

OK guys, I'll later this evening release a new updated 4.3 kernel.

I'll make it public from start, this because I need as many of you to test it before I go any further.

First some history; when I released my first 4.3 kernel, it was a messy mix of a 4.2.2 and a 4.3 config file. All later releases was based on this config file, and I was never really satisfied with it. Problem was, I never got the original 4.3 configs to work properly.

That problem has now been solved.:)

This new kernel release, is a build purely made on 4.3 configs.

Furthermore the kernel has been compiled with a lot of compiler optimization settings.

Some of you might see changes and some might not.

Kernel is currently running on my own S4+ with 4.2.2 bootloader and seems to work very well.

It should also run on the 4.3 bootloader without any problems.

I need you guys to test everything.

I have tested 4G/3G, WiFi and bluetooth. Regarding WiFi, please test everything.

This new kernel might also remove some other problems you might have faced.

Please test it and report back here ASAP.

Download link will come later as said earlier.

Stay tuned.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DeHAWK:
Quote "The Show Must Go On" - Queen - Innuendo - 1991.

And so it will, with or without Freddy! - Kernel is now ready for download!

Important notice: This kernel is universal. - It can be used on both 4.2.2 and 4.3 bootloaders - but ONLY with my 4.3 system.

Users on 4.2.2 bootloaders; don't mind the file name...just flash and be happy. You don't need to make factory reset!

Users on 4.3 bootloaders; flash and be happy. You don't need to make factory reset!

Depending on how this turns out, new releases will pop up in the following days. - These will only be for 4.3 bootloader users, due to the KNOX ****.

Instructions:

1. Download.

2. Unzip with 7-Zip to get the .md5 file.

3. Flash with Odin as PDA.

4...that's it.

Forgot to tell;

Still init.d support, exFAT support, all root restrictions removed, no forced policy updates....KNOX disabled, SE status for Android: Permissive... all as usual.
