let me see if I understand...

I have 4.4.2 with 4.4.2 bootloader and KNOX 0X1...

if I use this I'll have 0x0 KNOX and 4.3 ROM and 4.3 bootloader only flashing this file?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Wuby986:
if i have understand correctly no it will not reset knox, but you could downgrade from KK to JB and then root without trip knox..

what i am woundering is if it will be possible to downgrade to 4.2.2 no knox ( even if tripped it shouldn' t show??!?? )
[Galaxy S 4 General] youngwake:
probably those who want to reset Knox counter!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] marcel112:
Maybe real stupid but this method can't really reset Knox to 0x0 , can it?
[Galaxy S 4 General] liviu_adryan:
No, it says you can go from 4.4.2 to 4.3 without triggering the knox
[Galaxy S 4 General] RedPandaFox:
Waiting to give this a try. 4.4 is not out yet in my country and want to return it to 4.3 as I am having issues with my network.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pRo_lama:
Please, where's the link ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] action294:
This will not reset the counter, and nor will anything as of today. Check the description and discussion, it has a whole different purpose.

[Galaxy S 4 General] AIkizov:
What is the meaning of this - 4.4.2 is better and there is a way to root without triggering Knox

Something that has some little importance reset Knox counter which has no solution and it seems he will remain so after Google and also began integrating Samsung Knox in Android
[Galaxy S 4 General] LEENO:
Upload not successful, please suggest host supporting 64kbs upload speed. Mega is slow

This not reset knox counter, just downgrade keepeng counter 0x0

Would Dropbox work for a large file like this?

Pretty desperate to get this tested.
[Galaxy S 4 General] iJo09:
Will this downgrade the bootloader to 4.3 one?

Have you at least read the title of the tread?!?!?

Yes it is supposed to.. we'll see when is up..
[Galaxy S 4 General] iJo09:

[Galaxy S 4 General] kalsouth:
Whats the problem with the upload? What size does the file have?

What about www.zippyshare.com its possible to upload 200mb files...for free
[Galaxy S 4 General] Pinco125:
Maybe dropbox?
[Galaxy S 4 General] vpwrf:
You could try Copy.com
[Galaxy S 4 General] kalsouth:
Pls dont missunderstand me.we are very thankfull for your work but we are waiting since 4 days for the download ;)

I think dropbox is the best way for uploading such a big file
[Galaxy S 4 General] anemal000:
Download anything yet?:crying:
[Galaxy S 4 General] pda4g:
joke
[Galaxy S 4 General] vpwrf:
The problem is that Dropbox has a bandwidth limit for public links. It's 20GB per day for free accounts. I think it's better if Copy.com is used because there's no bandwidth limit as far as I know and you get 20GB of free storage if you sign up using my referral link. The desktop client can also resume uploads if the connection is interrupted just like Dropbox can.
[Galaxy S 4 General] kalsouth:
Ok, then copy.com

But what he is waiting for since a week? Maybe it was a joke/fake...we all laughed so much -.-

[Galaxy S 4 General] Wuby986:
Mega can go to 1.1mb/s here... depends on the connection.. doesn' t it?!?!? That' s why i said go to another place and use another connection!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] RedPandaFox:
If your not able to get it to somewhere we can all access maybe share it to one of us somehow and we can upload it somewhere for everyone else?
[Galaxy S 4 General] LEENO:
copy.com and dropbox require registration, i not want upload this file with registration. Mega should be ok but it is slow, 16kbs in upload

Anyway upload started again now with mega, one week ago it freezed after about 10hours.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Wuby986:
Sorry i don' t want to sound offensive, but why don' t you put it into an usb stick and ask a friend with a good connection to use his pc to upload? Isn' t this easier? If you have chance of course..
[Galaxy S 4 General] emperorHadrian:
LOL joke

My goodness what a joke is this. No one who after a few days thinks it's a hoax?

And please Leeno, why on earth would you open this topic in the first place? Is it lack of attention?
[Galaxy S 4 General] daxgirl:
How about we decide what it's worth after trying it once it's uploaded and in a mean while give the op the normal respectful amount of a benefit of a doubt?
[Galaxy S 4 General] emperorHadrian:
How about uploading first and then create a post which seems too good to be true?
[Galaxy S 4 General] daxgirl:
Well I see your point. And i still say that I will give the op a benefit of the doubt unless proven otherwise. Now I suggest we wait for the upload and get back to the topic :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] kalsouth:
? you are right.its so noobly to create a post without uploading the file.people are waiting for more than a week to be able to download the file ? to me, this tread is fake and should be closed.

I can't flash original mkf firmware, odin returns an error and stops, why?
[Galaxy S 4 General] cpelatan:
Same here. What I did :

1. Go into recovery and did a Full Wipe (Success)

2. Go into Download mode and flash i9505_Downgrade_43_by_Leeno.tar.md5 (Success)

3. Boot, wait for the wizard (Success)

4. Go into Download mode and try to flash official MKF (I9505XXUEMKF_I9505OXXEMK3_I9505XXUEMKF_HOME.tar.md5) Fail in Odin
[Galaxy S 4 General] daxgirl:
What error does odin give you? Is it "Auth"?

Because imo it doesn't flash because the bootloader doesn't in fact allow the downgrade... as in... it doesn't work.
[Galaxy S 4 General] LEENO:
For wifi fix and knox security message flash this

i was wrong about bootloader, pda will downgrade but bootloader no.

Post 1 updated
[Galaxy S 4 General] cpelatan:
Hi

Yes, if i remember well, it was an "auth" error.

LEENO file is a 4.3 and was flashed successfully

Think there is something to package excluding a component of the .tar.md5 from an official file.

So, which MKF can be ok with which modem (as i live in france)

Thanks,
[Galaxy S 4 General] pda4g:
And what is all this after bootloader remains the same, 4.4.2 is better, there is also root for him
[Galaxy S 4 General] RedPandaFox:
Your welcome to your own opinion.

I had been hoping to downgrade the bootloader but I'm still very impressed with what OP has done. I didn't think it was possible.

I can confirm the file does work as described and am very grateful, but I have gone back to a 4.4.2 custom rom for now, until I can downgrade the bootloader too (or I need to take it back under warranty).
[Galaxy S 4 General] pda4g:
For me, the thread is another nonsense

I have nothing more to say
[Galaxy S 4 General] LEENO:
If in next firmware towelroot will not work, you will have knox 0x1 with Cfroot.

Maybe downgrade will still work so knox can be still 0x0

Somebody say thanks, somebody say nosense.

If nosense just exit from this thread and try to do some better or useful

I never talked about knox reset, i just talked about keep knox 0x0 after downgrade to 4.3

pda4g now the clown are you, yes obviously now :)

Taptalked
[Galaxy S 4 General] LEENO:
Just flash 2 files in first post. You will have modem mkf good for France

[Galaxy S 4 General] LEENO:
Anyway boot downgrade to 4.3 not remove knox.

4.3 bootloader have knox.

4.2 bootloader haven't knox. Firmware downgrade is possible to 4.2 but knox will set to 0x1 even if before was 0x0

Downgrade is useful only if towelroot stop working in next firmware

[Galaxy S 4 General] pda4g:
I have nothing to say

just my funny
[Galaxy S 4 General] RedPandaFox:
That was the hope for me. Bootloader downgrade to 4.3, then to 4.2.2 without Knox.

Would have been ideal but as I said, I'm very impressed and thankful for what you have done.

Can I use towelroot in my i9505 4.4.2 and nf2, only to root without knox?
[Galaxy S 4 General] RedPandaFox:
When I have rooted work towlroot it has done so without tripping anything further. I already had a Knox count but to my knowledge it will no set off Knox.
[Galaxy S 4 General] gbl5:
Thanks, I think I'll risk it, will Towlroot would be the best way to root it without affecting Knox?
[Galaxy S 4 General] RedPandaFox:
Im sure you have probably already gone ahead by this point but yes, that is the safest option.

For me, I have revisited here as I had an issue with my Allshare Cast dongle. I didn't have any 4.3 devices in the house to fix it (Note 2, 10.1, S4 etc all on 4.4), so I came back here to go back to 4.3.

The step 2 did fix the WiFi issue and am still impressed with how OP managed it all.

Will keep an eye out for any of his future work!

Problem with BL downgrade

Hey body,

I want to thank you first for your great job, i followed the steps as described, my knox still 0x0, but when I get to the android platform, I can't make calls, everything works fine without any issue but calls, even receiving, I can't, the app just crashes and i need either to wait for a minute with pushing every physical button to get it back, or till the phone call ends, i cannot hear etc, i managed to get back my 4.4.2 and did the same steps again, but before i tested the phone after step 1, the wifi is not working but phonecalls do, and then after step two same hell, please i need help, my 4.4.2 I am using is the same one you had, and it's an I9505 factory unlocked, and thanks again.

Regards
[Galaxy S 4 General] RedPandaFox:
I did have a similar experience last time I used this. I didn't bother reporting it because I thought it was because I had Knox 0x1.

With mine, it would crash the phone. Once you hit call, or attempted to answer the call, it would freeze and then reboot the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 General] cefkiller:
knox you are making me crazy :(

Yeah I had this similar experience of yours with my other S4 knox 0x1 but a go back to 4.4.2 then to 4.3 SFR carrier and using another bootloader solved my problem, but in this one, just bought, I don't wanna trigger the knox that's why I am asking to know first what is the problem here, and what is the cause to that problem.

Hey mate,

I followed this tutorial several times but I didn't have this issue, but I can advice you to go back to 4.4.2 with wiping data/cash dalvik of course, root, then you can follow these steps once again. If you go back to 4.4.2 and you still have no sound, I advice you to follow this tutorial as it fixes this exact problem : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2250824.

Problem with downgrade

Ive got the same problem. followed the same steps and when I apply the wifi fix. No Sound and also phone crashing when trying to answer calls.

I really cant stand kitkat and its battery drain and overheating my phone. Wish I never updated it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] cefkiller:
well in this case, you will have to flash your modem, find a modem which fits your 4.3 version (MKF for example), flash it 2 times with odin very important, you will have to uncheck auto reboot thing, so in the first time you reboot into download mode manually, but for the second time just check auto reboot and let it do its thing, once you are in the android interface, check your baseband version, it must be the same as your rom version, otherwise you gonna have a lot of problems. Try this and then tell me back. Good luck
[Galaxy S 4 General] LEENO:
Modem is included in step2

Problem solving by following step2 and wipe full data
[Galaxy S 4 General] roadkiler:
Hi,

I've managed to downgrade, but I lost sounds.

How can this be solved??

Regards
[Galaxy S 4 General] cefkiller:
Well I made a mistake, you should not downgrade the modem because you will lose the phone call functionality, but you must update it to the NB8 or NC one, then flash the kernel to regain the wifi.
[Galaxy S 4 General] albo_soulja:
has anyone had success with this and have a 100% functioning phone?
[Galaxy S 4 General] cefkiller:
I have almost 100% success but the wifi problem persists, sometimes the wifi doesn't work anymore because of /data/misc/wifi/ folder and especialy the file wpa_supplicant.conf, and everytime i reboot, my phone forgets all the registred wifis. That's the only persistant problem all the others I solved them.

But I am "working" (whenever I have time) on an app to resolve this issue (phone must be rooted) as there isn't any that fix this issue
[Galaxy S 4 General] roadkiler:
How did you solve the sound problem?
[Galaxy S 4 General] cefkiller:
Personnaly i didin't have that sound problem but tell me what kernel are you using and what's the version number (MKF etc)
[Galaxy S 4 General] roadkiler:

Downgraded

I don't know why but I did simply downgrade my GT-I9506 using odin flashing the stock JB rom from stock kitkat.
[Galaxy S 4 General] devilyuri:
Maybe it is an issue related to bootloader
[Galaxy S 4 General] albo_soulja:
Did anyone have any luck in getting this working 100%.

Ive tried many times and I either get a phone with no sound or a crashing phone when I make or receive calls?
[Galaxy S 4 General] AEkiz:
This is not a downgrade after the bootloader remains the same

Just some crap
[Galaxy S 4 General] celiocalves:
After all the steps wifi works, but no sound and phone crashing in calls.

Could you fix that?
[Galaxy S 4 General] cefkiller:
It can be fixed by upgrading your modem to 4.4.2 one buy flashing only the modem, but the wifi will stop working
[Galaxy S 4 General] glosman:
perfect

Iv had no issues.

I updated and lost root. I simply flashed the lower kernel and rooted via towelroot and restarted the phone and installed supersu. Then flashed the correct kernel for my rom.

I have 100% working phone knox 0x0 but my system status is custom. :laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 General] cefkiller:
Weird

I don't see how you can have system status custom and knox 0x0 as it was designed to trigger once your system is custom weiiird :D you sure you have both knox status 0x0 like in this picture ? [IMG="knox0x0"]http://omegadroid.co/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/attachment.php_-300x224.jpg[/IMG]
[Galaxy S 4 General] glosman:
What is even more weird is that it said custom yesterday and today it's "official" :eek: and my download mode is showing identically the same as your picture.:D I still have the files to flash should anyone need them.
[Galaxy S 4 General] cefkiller:
Amazing

Hahahaha well I'm glad you didn't lose the knox, but if you can share the files we would be thankful as someone who made the update by mistake may need them ^^
[Galaxy S 4 General] devilyuri:
Can i install those files using mobile odin?
[Galaxy S 4 General] glosman:
I wouldn't as this may trip knox. I did it on odin PC.
[Galaxy S 4 General] devilyuri:
I've already knox at 0x1
[Galaxy S 4 General] glosman:
Then yes it will be fine. May increase flash counter though but if knox is already tripped it won't matter lol
[Galaxy S 4 General] haller:

[Galaxy S 4 General] joiN85:
Hi, for a complete downgrade to 4.3

1) flash with odin "bootloader_i9505_nb2.tar" and "Wifi_i9505_nb2.tar" (Auto Reboot unselected and repeat two times)

2) flash with a custom recovery "I9505_stock_nb2.zip"

3) in build.prop set "ro.securestorage.support=false"

now sound is back on 4.3 and wifi work perfect with stock kernel ;)

ATTENTION!!!

this procedure change knox status to 0x1
[Galaxy S 4 General] devilyuri:

[Galaxy S 4 General] devilyuri:
Can i use this method for any 4.3 stock ROM or only for honk Kong stock ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 General] joiN85:
I9505ZHUENB2 bootloader and NON-HLOS.bin work with all 4.3 stock rom

They are the only ones fully compatible with 4.4.2 and sound work

but if you want a stock kernel you need to use " I9505_stock_nb2.zip" for a working wifi

and change in build.prop the string "ro.securestorage.support=true" to "ro.securestorage.support=false"

build.prop is in system folder

you can edit with root explorer or similar but with a rooted rom

Step by Step

Hi everyone! First of all: Thank you for your great work!

I went from cm11 back to stock 4.4.2 touchwiz on my S4 LTE GT-I9505 (Switzerland, AUT) yesterday. Now I would like to downgrade to 4.3, because I have issues with kitkat which remain (i.e. very bad battery life, and the sd-card problem).

Could anyone of you please give mive a step by step how to which is up to date?? I would really appreciate that, because I'm not so familiar with flashing etc, and I don't want to brick my phone (I'm a student...I just want a good working phone...-.-). And would I have to do a full backup inc system data (I actually don't know how to do this properly with TB and how to restore in worst case...)? Will OTA be available after flashing?

Every help is highly appreciated!! :) Thx in advance!
