Well I don't know about the bootloader. I just flashed MIUI v5 over a KITKAT firmware. As far as tripping the knox flag, I simply don't care because even the guys at the "Service center" don't care. I have read many posts stating that the service center fixed their phone in warranty even when the knox had been tripped. Moreover, I think we flashers at XDA don't care much of warranty as until the phone is able to boot into "download" mode we can solve any issue by simply flashing a firmware. And if by any chance the phone becomes dead, then even the guys at service center cannot recognize whether the knox has been tripped or not !! They'll just send a request for the change of motherboard !!
[Galaxy S 4 General] luciferps:
h ican u please explain it in a more friendly way. any way we can use in one stop or some simplify way???

by doing this will it trip our knox ???
[Galaxy S 4 General] ronak.chawla30:
sorry but there is no simple way.

yes surely it will trigger knox wareanty void.
[Galaxy S 4 General] invincible authority:
So this method triggers knox, right ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] ronak.chawla30:
yes it surely does !
[Galaxy S 4 General] aakashdahake:
Ok, downgrading to 4.3 is only beneficial when we want to use screen mirroring function bcoz there is a patch available to enable screen mirroring on 4.3,

but not on 4.4.2, It had tried to downgrade my kitkat to 4.3 but it failed, now I will try this method :) [MENTION=599620]ronak[/MENTION]- does it shows official status in setting>about
[Galaxy S 4 General] ronak.chawla30:
on my device status is custom.

but i am not sure wether its because of downgrade or not. as it can be because of rootn cwm.
[Galaxy S 4 General] luciferps:
i think if we are able to downgrade without touching the boot-loader then we have found the Knox break as one can safe root in 4.3 and then remove Knox and upgrade to 4.4

seniors need help to find out if this is true
[Galaxy S 4 General] ronak.chawla30:
even normally if you upgrade to 4.4 from 4.3, it won't trigger knox warranty void. its a samsung update.

why you think upgrading to 4.4 will trigger ur knox. it wont bro.
[Galaxy S 4 General] luciferps:
that i know but we cant root in 4.4 as it is not safe and knox will trip

what my idea was

downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3 safe root then upgrade to 4.4 which doesnt have knox .knox removed. in this way knox will not trip and we are on 4.4 rooted stock rom
[Galaxy S 4 General] ronak.chawla30:
i guess you have misconception. no one can REMOVE Knox from samsunv firmware. its impossible.

even if you downgrade fom 4.4 to 4.3 without bootloader, there will be 4.4 bootloader with knox present on your phone.

there is no way to remove knox buddy.
[Galaxy S 4 General] luciferps:
then one can remain on 4.3 and safe root if it doesnt trip knox . i realy dont know someone senior guidance is needed. i mean there must be some way . as we are able to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3
[Galaxy S 4 General] Kalasso:
Actually i don't have any idea what is this steps :silly:

I downgraded but didn't do this things.

Twrp full format + flash 4.3 stock + philz flash for new rom + flash arrow rom 11 all is ok :cowboy:
[Galaxy S 4 General] invincible authority:
This is what I did.

1. Had stock XXUFNB3

2. Followed this guide to remove knox.

3. Flashed MaxFour V12 kernel

4. Flashed MIUI V5

and it worked !!! :D

THE DEKNOX REMOVAL FLASHABLE .ZIP IS ATTACHED.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ronak.chawla30:
i have posted this thread for downgrading, i.e. flashing stock firmware via odin, which was earlier impossible as odin showed fail !

flashing firmware and flashing rom are two different things. please get it clear. dont misconcept both.

[Galaxy S 4 General] puppettestpilot:
Thanks

Hi - thanks for the post, but your method is too complex for me - I be noobish n' all.

When I tried to downgrade from 4.4 to 4.3, it took a few attempts but eventually it booted.

Funny thing though, the screen had a blue tint and was really dark.

I tried a few more times, wiping in between, but still the screen was blue and dark.

I got back to 4.4 okay but I don't like some things about it.

:cyclops:
[Galaxy S 4 General] 0xDFA:
Im going to attempt this on my Verzion Galaxy S3 SCH-i535 (running stock 4.4.2, locked bootloader, pre-KNOX)

any idea if it will work with this model?

also, how exactly does this work? It skips the bootloader but installs the ROM only? I thought locked bootloader wont let me flash kernels. If anything it'd probably only allow official firmware im guessing

im currently downloading the stock 4.3 firmware, its a big file..
[Galaxy S 4 General] D_black84:
Hi , I;m trying to downgrade my S4 to 4.3 coming from 4.4.2 then i found these instructions which are very clear. I followed them step by step but everytime i get to the last step to generate the md5 sum i keep getting an error . Can you please help? attached i leave you the step by step i did in Terminal .. Thx
[Galaxy S 4 General] t2can:
You don't have to do step 7 of generating the tar.md5. You can still flash the .tar file with Odin. It worked for me, only issue I had was when the phone is off,you plug in the charger, the battery icon shows with a circle loading in the center, after some seconds the phone goes off & no signs of charging appear., but the phone is charging.while the phone is off you press or hold the power button,the phone won't switch on,unless you remove the battery and then re-insert then power it on.This was on the I9500
[Galaxy S 4 General] tiagox:
its possible to downgrade the bootloader ??? i dont care about waranty !!

its possible to downgrade the bootloader ??? i dont care about waranty !!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dwama:
true story, but only if ur warranty are still available.
[Galaxy S 4 General] androidrouen:
Hi just to say : i readed on xda (don't know where) you can downgrade bootloader : install via odin a 4.1 official rom without bootloader, update via OTA to 4.2, so you got 4.2 bootloader (OTA can change the bootloader)

[Galaxy S 4 General] skylinegtrvspec:
will the same work for the sprint version
[Galaxy S 4 General] LSGio:
so what are the benefits of downgrading if you still have KNOX? you didn't change anything except the android version so what do you get from it?
[Galaxy S 4 General] oh'neill:
This is for i9505 too?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Eddicts:

I9500 Downgrade using Cygwin

I will try doing this by using Cygwin :D

right now my firmware is I9500XXUFNB4_I9500OJVFNC1_PAK.zip (4.4.2)

i wanna downgrade to 4.3 because of horrible battery on 4.4.2

so I will download this I9500XXUEMJ8_I9500OJVEMJ8_PAK.zip (4.3)

then follow your procedure is this correct?

[Galaxy S 4 General] weedkill420:
Downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3

Which firmware do we extract first 4.4.2 or 4.3.2.? Wish you where a lil more specific on your directions bro. Some of your commands are miss-typed wrong as well and too close together. Btw if your already on 4.4.2 if im not mistaken the bootloader is locked. That means if you installed the firmware with the locked bootloader it embeds it into the phone now. So theirs no downgrading period unless you can remove the bootloader from the phone not the firmware correct.? ive heard of people removing the bootloader thats embedded into the phones system but i haven't seen a thread or info on that anywhere and if this is true wish somebody could point me into that direction fast. far as im concerned this method would only be good for is removing the bootloader from a stock firmware preventing our phones bootloader to lock. idk if what i all said is true if not please re-correct my mistakes i would love to know.?

hi everyone

i want to change my phone kernel. my device work with Liberty s4 rom v7a.

is there any have to compatible (custom) kernel for htc one s with liberty v7 rom ?

any suggestions ?

my purposes to find a best custom things for my phone. that's mean; which ROM, Kernel, Boot, Recovery bla bla

and are these have compatible.

thnx a lot
[HTC One S] benJX:
There is no custom kernel yet for this rom. Only the one provided with the rom.

What hboot are you on ? What kind of rom are you searching for, Sense or AOSP ?

Are you S-OFF ?
[HTC One S] natmacax:
thnx for the answer

hboot 2.16

i prefer to Sense Roms. others is really useless for me.

yes s-off and super cid.

and i am confused. roms, kernels, boot, hboot, cid , s-off, firmwares , interface differences... bla bla bla

liberty rom is stable and very likely. even also 4.3v. my purposes is; i installed the rom but what i need to do else ? or this is it. thats mean libery rom v7 installed, s-off, hboot 2.16 enough. no any things
[HTC One S] benJX:
Roms

: You said it you want Liberty rom (Sense 5.5). If I may, I advise you to have a look on MaximusHD (Sense 5)

Kernel (=boot.img)

: There is actually no custom kernel available for Liberty, so nothing to add here.

hboot (=bootloader)

: You are on 2.16, Liberty is compatible with both 2.15 and 2.16, so you have nothing to change here. I would had that most of AOSP based roms are made for 2.15, while almost all Sense (5 and 5.5) roms are made/compatible with 2.16. You want a Sense rom so stay on 2.16.

S-OFF/CID

: I think you know what's the aim of having superCID and S-OFF or you wouldn't have done all that.

Radio

: It manages wireless communication of your device : 2G, 3G, HSPA, even Wifi. If wrong radio is used with wrong rom, it results in bad signal quality, wifi issues or/and random reboots.

If your Radio is actually 1.20, with Liberty rom you probably don't have access to HSPA. You can actually fix it by flashing this radio through recovery.

Why you need 2 months to port it on SP?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jimRnor:
Basically this mod wont effect too much battery usage, try reflash your rom without wiping data then reflash this mod.

I got 4 steps to port and dev a mod to a device

1)porting process,gathering the mod to include and write the script

2)when complete the test zip, I gotta upload it to the facebook to let my tester to test it (the most time uses

3)when complete the test,I have to rewrite updater-script and test it again to ensure no updater-script error or else

4)I will use about 6 hours to create and edit the thread

this is the basic step that how I dev a mod,I will need 2 months to port to SP because it still have different chipset with XTX :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AirBlaster96:
Haha okay then, Btw i write you couple of times in xperia z thread and when i flash mod there is no bootloop only problem is that it doesn't flash everything so after that i flash everything manually once again and it work without problem (at least i think so),just a tip for you im trying be helpfull :D and will you Keep it updated with the last version of xperiaz all the time?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jimRnor:
Ok I will remember your tips :D

Yes I will keep the update of XZ, but before that, I gotta let my mod work on z1 first since the System are huge different...

So did you mean that the XZ version works on XSP too?:confused:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AirBlaster96:
Yes it work perfectly, well i don't know if everything is like in xperia z (i mean sound) but there is no crashes, no bootloops :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jimRnor:
and that will be easy to port it to the SP :)

thanks for your information, I will try to rewrite the updater-script and test it, would you like to be my SP tester?Of course proper credits will have for you

Yeah i would love to be tester haha thank you for that :D

[G Pad 8.3 General] CarboniteMan:
Just bought a LG G Pad 8.3 a few days ago after reading the many positive reviews online.

Was especially looking forward to the supposedly high quality screen with excellent color accuracy, as it is also marketed by LG.

So it is with disappointment to discover that my unit does not exhibit these qualities.

The screen on mine has a low color accuracy, especially with reds.

Red colors deviate quite a lot and look almost orange. This results in a poor viewing experience and was not what i expected. Most review videos and photos i have watched does not show this color imprecision.

I suppose i am not the only one with a screen looking like this.

It seems like the screen has not been calibrated properly from the factory.

I feel that i have gotten an inferior product and questions if this is general quality problem with the tablet?

[G Pad 8.3 General] EdenGottlieb:
A lot of us have a yellowish screen (including me), I personally fixed it using Screen Adjuster, then the CM 11 built in color adjuster. You can try the color correcting methods I mentioned or use your warranty for a replacement.
[G Pad 8.3 General] CarboniteMan:
I don't really consider my screen as being "yellowish". The whites displayed are pretty neutral i think.

I already tried Screen Adjuster as you suggested, but i have not been able to get any improvement with it. Rooting is not something i want to do for now.

I suspect that LG is sourcing different LCD panels for this device, and that they are not all of equal quality or calibrated to the same standard.

The early production units, among those sent to reviewers, seems to have screens of higher quality with more accurate colours.

Mine is a 402 production.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Zarrick19:
With the replaced display I also noticed orange-ish red. The white is white, black is black, no lightbleed or yellow-ish screen. I compared some pics on a professional Dell U2412M IPS monitor and the red was really horrible orange-ish on G Pad.
[G Pad 8.3 General] CarboniteMan:
Thank you for sharing your experiences. Please cast a vote in the poll.

Could you perhaps show a photo of your screen?

I think that LG at some point changed the IPS panel used in G Pad 8.3 for a different one. After all of the problems reported with the early productions this would seem appropriate.

It seems, though, that the color calibration of the panels have gone wrong in the process.

It's regrettable, as i otherwise like the aspects of the tablet. I guess i will just have to live with it or buy something else.
[G Pad 8.3 General] tatkovladko:
I think that the major problem is the gamma curve setting. If you can and know how to, try the kernel posted in the Android development section, which has improved (normal) gamma, although it has possibly some other minor issues unrelated to the display, but nothing unrecoverable - you can flash back to stock kernel easily.

I am currently running with it so you can rest assured that the tablet is not going to die, or something :)

P.S. Maybe I spoke too soon - had to revert back to the stock kernel because I got apps crashing and also some spontaneous system reboots with the suggested kernel, probably due to the additional tweaks in it, apart from the gamma tweak.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Subtleone:
Although I do not have any orange issues, it is true the colors are not perfect, but nor are they bad, at least on mine. My monitors are all color-calibrated and I too have made comparisons. You can use Trickster Mod to adjust the colors, but the gamma really requires the kernel of the ROM in my sig. Bear in mind that though Dell produces a nice monitor, if it is not specifically color-calibrated, then it too is not a reliable source.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabling23:
Hi, I'm currently using the stock rom with the stock kernel and I was wondering if there is a way to change the screen color? (with an app maybe??)

When I was using the Aero kernel I could do it from the Aero app but now with the stock kernel I don't know if there is a way to do it!
