Hi :),

I wonder the same thing, if the tutorial is working from a MKF 4.3 with saferoot

Thanks for your answers :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] nickp27:
When I said prior to, I meant including. If you have knox 0x0 and root either through saferoot or kingo then this should work.

Hi there !

Will this work only for NC5 ? Can't use NC4 ou NC6 ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Drasco:
Hi there,

I'm hoping someone can help me. It sounds like you guys have achieved what I'm trying to. I've got a GT-I9505 which is on 4.2.2 but I'm trying to upgrade to stock 4.4.2.

I'm using mobile odin to flash I9505XXUFNB9_I9505O2UFNA2_I9505XXUFNB9_HOME.tar (stock o2 UK 4.4.2), as you've mentioned this installs everything apart from the bootloader and I cleared the recovery partition so I can keep my existing cwm recovery.

This works really well and apart from the Samsung keyboard crapping out android installs fine as far as I can tell keeping root. My issue is mobile signal and wifi - it looks like mobile odin isn't installing the modem as my baseband version doesn't change.

So after a bit of searching I flashed the baseband that matches my build number from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2192025 and this fixed mobile signal and data but not wifi. So I also flashed the wifi fix (non-hlos.bin) that matched my new baseband - this really affected the performance and battery usage of the phone and didn't fix my wifi issue.

After a bit more searching I found out that the version of non-hlos.bin should match the bootloader so I flashed the version that matched my old baseband version (I9505_XXUBMF8_WiFi_FIX.tar.md5) and this fixes the performance issues I'm having and battery drain but still doesn't allow me to enable wifi.

I'm so tantalisingly close to getting this working! Everything is working apart from being able to turn wifi on (the button tries to toggle but just goes straight back to off).

The plus side to upgrading this way is that I don't have knox and I still have cwm installed so I've just restored my 4.2.2 backup for the time being. I'm tempted to try just a straight flash of the rom via odin but I'm concerned I'll have the same issue with wifi and no way of going back to 4.2.2 as the bootloader will have upgraded.

I've searched here on XDA and have tried changing my build.prop to set securestorage to false and have deleted wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf but this doesn't fix the problem.

If any one has any ideas or suggestions on how to get wifi working I'd be really grateful.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Boing7898:
I'm going to follow this tutorial and update to 4.4.2 from 4.3.

I really want to reset to factory settings though, will I loose root if I reset after updating to 4.4.2?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 General] commandonz:
Some of the information here could be helpful. I went from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 WanamLite, which is stock without knox and pre-rooted. It works well, recommended.
[Galaxy S 4 General] super_f:
Does it work on NC4 as well?

I am also intrested in updating to NC4 so if someone knows if it does work please tell me. Thank you very much! (Also, a guide or some instructions for how to exctract the bootloader with Total Commander whould be very very helpful!!)
[Galaxy S 4 General] pRo_lama:
You can also use Cygwin Terminal for making .tar / .md5 files. ;)

Upgrade rooted knox 0x0 to latest Kitkat?

Hi there,

On another forum here in french in the FAQ it is confirmed that upgrading to I9505XXUFNA5 4.4.2 Kitkat pre-release rom rooted with knox 0x0 is successful with latest MOP 4.1+.

But is it also working for latest I9505XXUFNC4 kitkat release?

Thx for any replies and confirmations!
[Galaxy S 4 General] apbms1:
Mine worked on nc9.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dwl99:
I'm struggling to find a guide to creating the bootloader tar.md5 file using Total Commander - can anyone help? Or maybe some kind person could upload the modded bootloader tar.md5 file for I9505XXUFNC5_I9505H3GFNC2? Would the NC5 bootloader tar file for Wanam Lite NC5 http://wanamlite.com/2014/04/03/wanamlite-xxufnc5-v2-6-android-kitkat-4-4-2-xposed/ do the job without tripping the Knox flag?

Thanks

EDIT - I came across a guide to doing this with Linux http://www.rwilco12.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=92 - could someone please check I've got the Terminal commands correct as I really don't want to brick my phone!

tar -H ustar -c aboot.mbn rpm.mbn sbl1.mbn sbl2.mbn sbl3.mbn tz.mbn > bootloader.tar

md5sum -t bootloader.tar >> bootloader.tar

mv bootloader.tar bootloader.tar.md5

EDIT again - I just took a big breath & created the bootloader.tar.md5 file as per above & everything went fine. I now have a rooted stock 4.4.2 with Knox 0x0!! Thanks for posting.

PS I've uploaded the bootloader.tar.md5 file (I9505XXUFNC5) but accept no responsibility if your phone explodes etc etc
[Galaxy S 4 General] odicamillo:
Do you have to create a .md5 file or you can flash just the .tar file?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dwl99:
I believe it will work with a tar file but I've not tried it myself. It would be safer to use the tar.md5 in case the tar file is corrupted.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pRo_lama:
Thanks for your tutorial. I made update from 4.3 MFK to 4.4.2 NDG and everything was successful. I did my own way how to extract and pack bootloader via Cygwin64 Terminal. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] gphg:
Thanks

Thank you!!!

Yesterday I installed GNE5 on my i9505, it is working like a charm. Knok void 0x0 and the phone kept the root. I built by myself the bootloader.tar.md5.
[Galaxy S 4 General] TechShui:
When I run the commands in CygWin terminal it just hangs.

Is there a newer version of tar that I need to install, or what am I missing :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 General] pRo_lama:
Hi. Right now I really don't know how I did v CygWin, because I don't have I9505 for a long time. But I made tutorial in my own language and here is the translation of that.

This is tutorial how to make .tar & .md5 file with bootloader files:

1) Make a new folder on C: disk and copy there .md5 and .dll file.

2) Run CygWin and write this command:

cd C:/path_to_the_folder

3) Another 2 commands (the second one takes a little bit more time):

rm -rf SS_DL.dll
tar -xvf name_of_your_file.tar.md5

4) This command is that long, not 2 commands!

tar -H ustar -c rpm.mbn tz.mbn aboot.mbn sbl1.mbn sbl2.mbn sbl3.mbn > new_name_of_file.tar

5) And the last 2 commands where you make from .tar file, new .md5 file.

md5sum -t new_name_of_file.tar >> new_name_of_file.tar
mv new_name_of_file.tar new_name_of_file.tar.md5

P.S.: The "new_name_of_file" is one name which is used multiple times. ;)

**6) If you want to make .tar package from other files of that firmware here is the command, then just use step 5 if you want to .md5 file. But for this step you have to use another name, not the same which is in step 5:

tar -H ustar -c boot.img cache.img.ext4 hidden.img.ext4 modem.bin NON-HLOS.bin recovery.img system.img.ext4 > new_name_for_firmware.tar
[Galaxy S 4 General] TechShui:
Thank you prolama but i figured it out.

It was actually my own fault the terminal hung. I didn't enter the command properly.

Typed fast, and left out the > before the output.tar file
[Galaxy S 4 General] tommiyau:
I successfully updated my Telstra mobile using this proceedure from 4.3 to 4.4.2 and maintained root. Used flashfire to create my boot loader archive and then mobile odin to flash the firmware plus odin 3.09 to flash the boot loader. All good and maintaine root and knox 0x00. Thanks.

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] duwerk:
Just wanted to post that I have installed Viper4Android and it works beautifully on my rooted S5. This app is the #1 reason I root.

This app will change the way you think about sound (seriously). Every time I demo the difference to someone by turning it on and off they immediately ask me to install it for them.

Installed using directions by [MENTION=4967345]docnok63[/MENTION], paraphrased below for your convenience. I have only tested this app on my rooted T-mobile S5, and only with spotify (it's the only player I use). Of course you should

always backup first

and only you are responsible for what you do to your device.

1. Ensure you are rooted. From this point on, grant all superuser requests.

2. Download ViPER4Android FX. Get the latest version under the "Android FX" heading.

3. Extract the 4.x .apk from the zip. If you haven't already, smart-install Busybox from the play store.

4. Move the 4.x .apk to root system/app using a root-friendly file browser of your choice. Reboot to reset permissions.

5. Launch the app (from your app drawer). Grant root to let it install drivers. I've always gone with super audio quality; I suppose it's up to you. It may ask you if it can modify some files to disable power saving...just let it happen. :good: Reboot again.

6. Go straight to settings/sound/music effects (at the bottom) and toggle Viper4Android as default.

7. Open root system/build.prop using a file explorer and text editor with root access. You change three lines of code as follows. Some may already have been changed.

Ipa.decode=true should read Ipa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=true to tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=true to lpa.use-stagefright=false

8. Save the file and reboot once more. Open the Viper4Android app and have at the sound settings; play around until you find what works for you (just make sure to check "Enable" :highfive:). You can edit the settings as you have music playing. When you get it where you want it, toggle the enable button and see how far you've come.

You can explore the main app thread here for some ideas on customization.

All credit due to [MENTION=1569052]viper520[/MENTION], [MENTION=3901724]zhuhang[/MENTION], and [MENTION=4967345]docnok63[/MENTION].

All I did was paraphrase. Hope this helps someone!

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] MikeyLee:
I have not been able to get this to work with the stock app on any version of KK but it works fine with Poweramp. Just have all EQ and processors in Poweramp turned off and in Poweramp settings/audio/advanced tweaks make sure everything is unchecked.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Docmjldds:
WOW...it works here for me. At first it didn't. I looked for updates and it offered v2.3.3.0 Installed that and it's really noticeable with my ear buds. This is with Google music player. I have PowerAmp premium too. Have not tested on that but it for sure works with the latest APK I referenced and it is installed as a system app. One of those build.prop edits was already set while the other two needed to be changed, just an FYI. If you aren't on the latest APK, update. I am on the latest update of Alliance ROM here on my T Mobile S5 variant....fyi.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] theoryzz:
Hi guys can someone tell me what to do if i cant find the build.prop stated above on my device?

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] riso123:
Nice one. Was just trying to get cyanide dsp working, was getting frustrated and then saw this... fantastic sound!

Cheers mate!
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Docmjldds:
It's in system folder. You need to use an appropriate method of editing that allows you to change from read only to read write. Also for me you have to be running 2.3.3.0 version of Viper. And finally, at least for me, I set this up and it runs until I also use the app Poweramp. Seems as soon as I use PowerAmp with the equalizer on, it breaks the functionality within 2 seconds of starting any song. If you use the menu function while running the Viper app, look at driver staus which not only shows the version but if you are running a song it will say yes to processing which verifies the app is running. (build prop editor by JRummy Apps in Playstore is free and works great) (Of course Root Explorer is my all time favorite, paid app that has a ton of functions, including editing)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Gassity:
So it didn't work for me, unless deleted the mod and installed everything from scratch as a normal app instead of a system one. To make it work with Poweramp, had to enable " compatible mode", add "music fx" button to "tone/vol" screen and turn it on. Now it works.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] theoryzz:

Has anyone else's S health stopped working? I'm not sure when it happened and I tried to clear data to see if it would help but it didn't...

I uninstalled the app and reloaded it from the Sammy store but still no go
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studentjunk:
Yes, happened to me. I noticed it after I let the program update. I actually just wiped the system with Kies to get it back. I'm currently restoring everything (except s health) with titanium backup after rooting again.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitefall:
Let me know if it stops working. I uninstalled the update but that didn't work, maybe I'll uninstall it reboot and reload it from the sammy store this time.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitefall:
So I uninstalled s health then went into app settings and uninstalled the update for health services, after I did that I kept getting a force close for another app repeatedly so I had to do the quick tap to get a restart. After getting back in everything was fine reinstalled s health from the sammy store and it had me update health services and everything worked after that.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studentjunk:
There were two apps. the S health and the healthservice. I seem to remember them both being updated at the same time. I couldn't figure out how to downgrade the second. That's why I tried the nuclear approach. This was after booting in safe mode and confirming that it wasn't an app conflict. I figured I'd delete the backups. If it starts acting funny tomorrow morning after I restore everything else, then I'll know there is something else going on. In the meantime, I'm going to avoid the update.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyecon82:
Yep. Mine also updated both s health and healthservice app

i can confirm that installing xposed is causing "health services" to crash. Root alone didn't do it for 2 days. Just installed xposed this morning and health services force closes every minute or so. The pedometer widget is stuck on the lock screen with 0 add trps now as well. But can't close it as S Health csnt open without health services functioning.
