Do like i say...
[Galaxy S 4 General] kalnik3:
ok, i will

factory reset too?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Vanojan:
he is right! it doesnt even work on OA7 Rom on OB7 black edition rom too!
[Galaxy S 4 General] droidcol:
Ok I just flashed it and zero problems, it's a little bit laggy sometimes and don't have the swipe between the settings and dialer app tabs but overall I'm happy, thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 General] vforvlive:
swipe between the settings and dialer app tabs doesnt have anyone of us!

i dont know how Samsung use the option "swipe between the settings" in the promo video on GT-I9500....

but if you see carefully, will notice that the Wi-Fi wasnt working on that Firmware!

Also can you confirm this?

if its works for you or not...!

P.s. No lags for me soo far with the new Samsung Official release UK OB7 on non Black Edittion

The Black Edittion firmware maked me some lags....
[Galaxy S 4 General] droidcol:
I don't use the Samsung browser but Chrome, and no, that doesn't work for me and it's not really useful. And really??? Then I'll be flashing that other one again that was just released on sammobile, thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 General] vforvlive:
OK thx for reply!

I just asked for my friend who use the factory browser, im using Chrone too;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
Have you never made a factory reset? Even stock recovery don't remove the Rom with factory reset why would custom recovery do it? And would a "factory reset" be removing Rom God know how many more people would been forced to repair their phones [emoji23]
[Galaxy S 4 General] vforvlive:
Can you upload the new Official firmware for non Black Edittion that came up today on Samobile?

My Upload sucks... thats why im not done it yet :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
My upload speed is 5xx kb/s and i don't have fast link to download the firmware
[Galaxy S 4 General] droidcol:
Anyone else reporting less laggy behavior with this non-black edition release? Thanks in advance.

Worked great using Odin 3.10.6 UK VOD 4.4.2 firmware nicely updated to 5.0.1 i9505BTUOB4 - thanks for the post & instructions!

[Galaxy S 4 General] Vanojan:
Really? Is OB4 older than OB5? Lol wth samsung:eek::what:
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
According to what they say.

Higher number or letter means later firmware. But look at the build date to be sure

Edit same date hmm strange

Does anyone use Animania app? It doesnt work on OA7 rom!
[Galaxy S 4 General] henklbr:
It was already online since this morning around 0730UTC

I edited my post several times afterwards (adding pics)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bingley:
Surely OB4 is the customisation flag for the white version which is just marking it as 'white'/'normal' and ob5 marks it as black? No difference otherwise, neither are eaerlier or later.
[Galaxy S 4 General] henklbr:
only a different CSC, NOT PDA & Modem...
[Galaxy S 4 General] rboy28:
CSC is just region related so it doesn't matter. The important information is the build date and changelist. And if you look at the details both (black and normal and also the german leak OA7) have the same changelist. The kernels of the black an normal edition (OB7) are compiled the same day. There's nothing new.
[Galaxy S 4 General] droidcol:
Exactly, I won't waste my time on it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Vishal263:
I'm from South Africa, Downloaded and installed the ROM, and everything seems to be working thus far.

The only issue was I kept getting a notification about a "google play services error" just clear the cache and uninstall all updates and it should work fine.

Hello everybody,

I was wondering if this build (I9505XXUHOB7) can work on a Galaxy S4 Black Edition bought in France ? The update only works with english GS4 or any GS4 BE ?

Thank you !
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tgdebas:
Carrier

Hey i have an s4 Black edition and want to install the uk version but... if i do this and use it with my tmobile NL sim do i need to pay more because the csc is BTU (UK) or will it stay the same and can i use it without extra costs?

Greets Tgdebas
[Galaxy S 4 General] droidcol:
It'll work with any GT-I9505, no matter if it's BE or not ;).
[Galaxy S 4 General] gabricco:
is it a good idea doing wipe before and after flashing?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bingley:
Wiped and flashed, seems ok.

Things I dislike:

White theme on amoled device, it's so bad

Quick Toggles colours are terrible

Cannot get rid of S Finder and Quick Connect

Merge Chrome tabs disables swiping between tabs

Seems a little laggy and the hardware buttons less responsive

Mobile reception is worse and wifi keeps receiving no data I have to keep disabling and reenabling wifi
[Galaxy S 4 General] estebitanpn:
Awesome update....

[Galaxy S 4 General] mimo2008:
I had that trouble with the wifi on the German rom having to turn off the router and back again so what I done was once I installed all the settings etc I then done another reset on the phone and since then it worked brilliant since. So it might be worth a try one more time.

[Galaxy S 4 General] bogdan1234:
I quite like the Lollipop BTU update. However, I'm having a problem with Touchwiz Home, it keeps crashing every time I want to edit anything on the homescreen (widgets, shortcuts, etc.).

Tried both wipe cache partition and manually cleaned cache for Touchwiz Home, switched to Lite version and then back, and even deleted all pages by setting and empty one as default (thought it might be a widget crashing TW). Still no luck.

Any ideas or advice? I believe I'll have to restore to factory defaults as a last resort.

Thanks for your replies.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Zepher:
I wonder what are the differences between OB4 and OB5. Sammobile shows the same changelist 3996895. But file size with OB5 is a much larger than OB4 (OB4 - 2,40GB; OB5 - 2,56 GB) So these 160 MB it's only different wallpapers and ringtones? Any other differences?

yes it is just one file. I was already extracted so I compressed again with 7z and uploaded to my gdrive
[Galaxy S 4 General] Smartie36:
Just flashed the normal version, not black edition, onto my S4, had 4.4 NK4 installed previously and the flash went without any issues, I have none of the wifi issues some others have been reporting but I also do a factory reset/wipe cache before & after any rom that I flash so maybe that's why. Can't comment much on the rom at preset as I'm currently going through the motions of restoring apps & setting them back up.
[Galaxy S 4 General] meshobi:

[Galaxy S 4 General] SgtJamesHeller:
So now that I've been running this for a little bit I can say that it actually feels really good. The white theme isn't great on AMOLED but that's what we have to deal with. Root works fine, boot speed isn't much faster but power off speed and wifi on speed is definitely much better than on PhoenixROM. It's a bit inconvenient that the recent apps menu starts in the middle of the screen and not at the bottom but I'll get used to that. Also, I still have some toggles left over from PhoenixROM but I'm reluctant to wipe the system UI because I don't want to lose my Watercolour lockscreen effect. Does anyone know of a way I can get rid of them without that happening?

[Galaxy S 4 General] szamil:
Try using previous version of Odin, like v1.85. It worked for me rather than newer. Also I removed Kies3 and reinstalled regular Kies... but perhaps installing USB drivers only will do.
[Galaxy S 4 General] gleddemen:
Just flashed this firmware over the German leaked Lollipop. Now I have no mobile data connection =(. Tried clearing cache and factory reset, but that doesn't help. Should I just try and flash again?

Tested on Skopian, Bulgarian and Greek devices and no such issue on any of them

P.s. Upgrade from German leak too...
[Galaxy S 4 General] gleddemen:
I reflashed, and the problem persisted.

Then I flashed the non-black edition firmware (I have a black edition phone, so i tried the black edition rom one first) and now everything is working fine. I also noticed the black edition is somewhat different: It has additional 3rd party apps pre-installed, but this one hasn't.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Vanojan:
Wait a sec. You dont get touch sensetivity toggle? I dont see it on those screenshots?
[Galaxy S 4 General] SgtJamesHeller:
I have one and it works... but that could be left from PhoenixROM, as with a couple of others.

Guess that's a reason not to wipe system UI if that's true xD
[Galaxy S 4 General] rboy28:
Seems so. But our device doesn't support touch sensetivity anyways.
[Galaxy S 4 General] khsh97:
For me, Odin 3.09 and 3.10.6 failed during flashing firmware. Odin v3.07 flashed the firmware successfully for me without any errors. So use Odin v3.07 if your flash fail with 3.09 & 3.10.6
[Galaxy S 4 General] Smartie36:
So far I'm liking this new firmware, only issue I had was running out of internal storage while getting all apps reinstalled, never ever had that happen with any previous firmware I've ever flashed, I deleted the cache via the storage options screen and that recovered quite a bit of space.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Vanojan:
Ofcourse it does! Right now i do have that option on my i9505 OA7!
[Galaxy S 4 General] megazle:
can i use firmware 9505 for 9515 :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] myawan:
I have this option on OB7 as well, and yes I did clean install.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pjuklas2:
I woudn't risk if I were u.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mimo2008:
OK so it's been an hour or 2 since i installed this on my phone I've had all 3 roms the German rom the black edition and now this the UK 9505 one.

To me this feels the smothest one the German rom was OK but bit sluggish when flicking through apps and had to keep turning of my home router to keep connected to wifi.

The black edition was little better but for some reason when pressing and keeping finger on home button to close all the apps running in background I couldn't close them all at once because it wouldn't show the close all at once until I restarted phone.

This one feels like home smoother and not had any problems with this either phone not getting hot or anything.

Just thought I would share my thoughts.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SgtJamesHeller:
Agreed
[Galaxy S 4 General] slash2378:
I've a big problem

updated with odin from 4.4.2 to LP and all went fine... after some hours I rebooted and now I've boot loop... what can I do?

wipe data/factory is not an option

wipe cache didnt solve the problem
[Galaxy S 4 General] SgtJamesHeller:
Have you tried just reflashing?
[Galaxy S 4 General] mimo2008:
I'm afraid that if you can't get past loop after flashing then only option you have is reset the phone.

Hold volume + home button then power button together.

Select reset data then do fresh install but also when fresh install is done you should get the option of restoring apps.
[Galaxy S 4 General] zakkkkk:
Did Samsung choose not to put guest mode profiles in lollipop?
[Galaxy S 4 General] rboy28:
Well, the option is there in OA7, no doubt. But it doesn't work. Try to use the phone with a normal pencil. It won't work. On the S5 it works when touch sensitivity is enabled.

Jelly Bean and KitKat Firmwares doesn't have the option. That's a sufficient explanation.
[Galaxy S 4 General] slash2378:
yes didnt help

I can pass PIN code then I can do whatever I want and all seems fine for 10 secs and after that it reboots

why did it work flawlessly all day long after first LP flash? bootloop began after 2nd restart

[Galaxy S 4 General] slash2378:
Tried another battery same problem

Boot safe mode same problem
[Galaxy S 4 General] mimo2008:
Then a reset is a must. I always do reset after installing new update because there could always be a conflict between 2 major updates.

[Galaxy S 4 General] slash2378:
yes

tried wipe and all was working

after system restore now is on bootloop again

something due to Wifi/data it seems... wifi go down before freeze
[Galaxy S 4 General] mimo2008:
OK try and flash the German rom and see what happens.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Vanojan:
I dont why buy i had this problem on OA7 rom first! Also when its restarting look at your battery perecentage, its changing by every time when it restarts! My phone restarted about 20 times!

Here what i did!

Power off your phone and wait 20 minutes then turn on.

When it turns on you get 10 secs, use the time and turn off your internet connect though it will restart again.

Wait till it boots up dont touch anything and it will work! It wont restart anymore!

Or else remove your simkart and turn on!
[Galaxy S 4 General] henklbr:
So: it happens AFTER system restore? Then that's the fault!

Don't do the restore, but install everything from scratch (like you do with a new phone)
[Galaxy S 4 General] slash2378:
I wiped again some times...

If I choose restore system it restore the problem too

if I choose "new phone" everything works fine...
[Galaxy S 4 General] mimo2008:
Yes if you do new phone then it will wipe the whole thing clean.
[Galaxy S 4 General] slash2378:
it will take all night to restore all the damn phone... but hope will work after all... thanks all for help :fingers-crossed:

Hi, I have a problem with notification access. When I reboot all previous apps that has been added now have been disabled.

This happened with the German version and also with the BTU version. I carried out a wipe of cache and factory reset before installing the BTU.

any help gratefully received as a right pain to have to enable again every boot.

Thanks

[Galaxy S 4 General] jimbobmcginty:
I have the same upgrade path as you and, same as you my recovery says DBT, OriginalCSC is AUT, FirmwareCSC is AUT, ActiveCSC is AUT.

CSC version in PhoneInfo is I9505YXYH0B5 which surely means UK Black flashed OK, and I should have BTU everywhere?

No issues - RRs, FCs or anything else - but it feels like something is wrong somewhere!

Did you do a factory reset after flashing to OB7? The CSC does not change until you factory reset.

Fairly sure I did a full wipe. However, I've now tried the second (non-black) BTU, factory reset before first boot, and it was still half BTU / half AUT. Then rooted, rebooted twice without doing anything else and it's all BTU now. Solved but not sure why.
