As there was said, install KK official from Samsung thru Odin, it updates your modem along bootloader and Android update.

One flash is enough if started from battery out situation, if not it might sometimes need two flash times to get modem flashed right.

Bugs with v.6.7 kernel 3.6.3 and earlier:

c) wlan hotspot (its not wi-fi, like you or not! :) ) doesnt show connected peers

Missed HD voice feature

Hi,

I've been using this ROM in my I9506 for the last few weeks and it's working pretty smoothly, but there is one thing I 'misst: the HD voice feature.

Using the stock ROM, under LTE networks, when I called another phone with the same Network provider, voice quality was excellent due to the HD voice service that provides Spanish operator Vodafone.. This ROM seems not being capable to manage this HD voice feature.

But now to the point. I first had a failed flashed, made me worried like hell, and after a few tries I managed to flash it correctly.

The thing is that when I now boot, the phone does not show Seandroid enforcing or anything like that.

[MENTION=4992619]kornelius1982[/MENTION] [MENTION=1760939]davidl1983[/MENTION] So what is the initial impression for the official Lollipop update guys? Is it worth flashing? Does everything work fine? I read in the comments that Wifi isn't working (few people at SamMobile are reporting unchanged MODEM i.e. I9506XXUCNF3 even after upgrading, maybe one of the reasons for it). Is it so? I thought of giving it a try, with the Slovakian firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] kornelius1982:
To be honestly I didn`t check partitions, but modem is changed to DOA6 version.

I tested and after full TWRP 2.8.4 backup there is no problem to restore to CM12, just make sure to uncheck "modem" when restoring.

What about bootloader, if there`s no "boot" backup it`s impossible to revert to back to CM12.

This experiment was for my wife`s i9506. She liked new TW and I enjoy new modem on CM12.

If you want to update modem you can do the same I`ve uploaded ROM to mega mirror

just make sure to turn off the device before entering download mode.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] mubeen_94:
Kindly help me out, I have mentioned my concerns in the above comment
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] kornelius1982:
Impression is good, but for advanced users like me, there`s not much interesting.

As I mentioned in previous post, you should turn off the phone before enter download mode. (I assume you know how to)

After that everything works fine, I didn`t face any problem, but battery drain.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] mubeen_94:
Thank you, now for the biggest concern.......does Wifi turn on and, obviously work? And which version should I use? I thought of going with the carrier-free Slovakian version, but should I go with your mirrored version?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] kornelius1982:
Yes sure it works, no issues at all. I`m on carrier free phone, but installed mirrored rom without any problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] davidl1983:
Some people did not get wifi towork, but I did not encounter that problem. I flashed slovakian rom with odin v1.85.

Thank you [MENTION=4992619]kornelius1982[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1760939]davidl1983[/MENTION] Now one final question before I proceed with the Slovakian ROM. Is an advanced wipe really required? Because I will be going with the usual flashing over the stock KK
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] kornelius1982:
It`s highly recommended to factory reset the phone, due to Android version change, VM changed to ART, lots of things are changed under the hood.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] kornelius1982:
As expected knox stays tripped 0x1

I'm not sure if update changes partitions. Is it possible to resize partitions from nandroid restore?

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] iBuu:
Even the IMEI ? I personally think that you can restore that with some basic text-editing [MENTION=2171370]ROOTED[/MENTION], if its all about a file that can be lost during some flash op :silly:

I got constant bootloop when I deleted bootanimation file. Actually it boots, but then it restarts itself.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] cxxzlflo:
WiFi MAC issue

From what I have been able to gather the issue is caused by the way CM loads WNIC firmware. It will load the specific firmware based on the devices MAC address as opposed to stock Samsung firmware which includes only the appropriate firmware image.

On stock Samsung Android the devices WiFi MAC will be set to whatever is stored in /efs/wifi/.mac.info but this behaviour is missing in CM. It does, however, work for bluetooth (read from /efs/bluetooth/bt_addr). Looking at the code and dmesg-output it is evident that /efs/wifi/.mac.info is indeed parsed; any dissonance between the OTP/"burned-in" MAC and /efs/wifi/.mac.info yields a notice in dmesg to correct this. WiFi will work fine either way, using the OTP MAC.

Trying to change the MAC by software means (ifconfig wlan0 hw ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX) or with apps like "Pry-Fi" does not work either; the "spoofed" MAC is used (apparent in router/AP logs) but any connection will fail as "Authentication problem". As MAC-based tracking is not very hard to do and no special equipment is necessary not being able to change ones WiFi MAC is very discouraging when juxtaposed with CMs more privacy-minded features (app permissions, etc).

Is there any way to solve this?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Revolted5:

I've been downloading nightlies and thought I would share things that come up as I find them. Things that came up today:

- home button doesn't work

- security (screen lock) doesn't work when the nightly was run. When I wiped the cache and re-entered the security settings, but they aren't saved.

- some apps don't appear to be accessing storage. So whatsapp doesn't have my history of messages unless I reboot the phone.
