Procedure for installing stock Samsung Lollipop firmwares with Knox 0x0. (I9505)

You can do the upgrade from your 4.4.2 KitKat, already rooted with Peppe130's method, as described here. You need Mobile Odin Pro and Odin 3.09 for Windows (this is the version that worked for me, I can't say whether different versions work equally well, they might). You also need the bootloader .tar for the version you are installing. The tar needs to include 6 .mbn files, aboot, rpm, tz, and sbl1-3. @ambassadii has included the bootloader .tar for the OB7 firmware in his post here. Then:

Download the firmware you want (e.g. OB7) and the latest SuperSU v.2.46 from [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION]'s page, and copy both of them on your external SD card.

Factory reset your phone, and only install SuperSU and Mobile Odin Pro from the Play Store (you can obviously backup what you want beforehand with Titanium).

Run Mobile Odin Pro, accept the download of the required file, and then press OTA/Update ZIP and locate the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip file you saved on your external SD.

Now press Open File... and choose the .tar.md5 firmware file you also saved a minute ago. Mobile Odin will automatically find and separate the different parts.

Tick only Enable EverRoot, leave the other options (inject odin etc.) unticked. Then press Flash firmware.

It will ask to check the md5 file, say yes. Mobile Odin will then do the job automatically, and will upgrade your firmware to lollipop 5.01, the phone will then enter recovery, and then it will upgrade all your applications (about 215 of them). All this will take about 5 minutes.

After reboot, turn the phone off and enter Download mode. Run Odin 3.09 on your PC and put the bootloader file in the BL field (see picture).

Connect the phone, press Start and wait for the Pass.

View attachment 3223409

After reboot, do another factory reset, and redownload SuperSU from Play Store after you go through the initial setup.

That was all; you now have a clean stock Samsung Lollipop firmware which is rooted, and the Knox flag remains at 0x0.

Two things are remaining,

1) Disable the Knox apps, you can do this with Titanium Backup by freezing all the Knox-related things, or you can delete the files manually (e.g. with adb), the forum is full of Knox-removal instructions..

2)Using a root editor, edit the file /system/build.prop, and change the line ro.securestorage.support=false (it is normally set to =true). This solves various problems related to SELinux, also documented in the forum.

Enjoy your rooted Lollipop phone! :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] c.ozzy:
Great work man :)

can you show us your knox status?
[Galaxy S 4 General] khsh97:
I don't understand it. For using mobile odin pro we need to have root access.. right? Then how can I use mobile odin pro to root my phone when I already don't have root access? Do we need to be on kitkat to do this? Or can we do this on lollipop flashed via odin as well?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tyxerakias:
Yes, if you read more carefully I say that you have to start from a rooted 4.4.2 (kitkat) phone.

Sure, attached
[Galaxy S 4 General] Descore:
Dear Tyxerakias,

YOU SIR, ROCK!!!!! :D :) :D :)

After following the procedure, I started with my i9505 UK version at 4.4.2 with no root, KNOX 0x0, and now I have latest and greatest Lollipop with root, Titanium, Mobile ODIN, and KNOX 0x0.

System status Modified is the only giveaway, and as we all know that is easily fixed (mine is more than 1 year out of warranty so I don't give a monkey's arse either way).

But this is a very nicely done hack. Also great thanks, of course, to peppe130.

GREAT WORK!

// Descore
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tyxerakias:
Thanks, enjoy it :) By the way, you should now uninstall Mobile Odin, as it doesn't yet work on Lollipop.

You forgot to specify in the title that this is only for i9505.

You have made typo mistake. In your post, it is written "4.4.2 jelly bean" instead of "4.4.2 kitkat".
[Galaxy S 4 General] Descore:
Yeah, thanks for letting me know - I felt a bit stupid as I bought Mobile ODIN Pro yesterday just to do this upgrade with your guide, but then I looked in the Mobile ODIN thread and I can see that Chainfire is working on a new app as a replacement, and will give it FREE to all owners of Mobile ODIN Pro :good:

So I don't feel stupid after all :laugh: What a great community.

Hello, this procedure works with a model I9515 ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Plumber_Gr:
I am on 4.4.2 I9505XXUFMB8 rooted with towelroot only and knox 0x0.

Can I follow this guide or do I have to root again with Peppe130's method ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 General] Sghimbosa:
Same question here, i'm on I9505XXUGNF1 towelrooted, may i proceed or do i have to update and/or reroot?

update: if it can help you, i just factory resetted, rerooted and followed instructions, all went smooth and now i'm running lollipop.

i guess it won't be a problem if you have the latest 4.4.2 update (i was on GNF1, previous one)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tyxerakias:
Er... Peppe's method IS towelroot... So no, you don't have to root again.
[Galaxy S 4 General] n3n3:
I did the root changing the kernel 4.4.2 for a kernel prior to June, the towelroot work in this kernel. After the root back the kernel of the newest room. It is possible to upgrade to lollipop, change the kernel by the kitkat, use towelroot to root, then return lollipop kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tyxerakias:
No it's not.

[Galaxy S 4 General] suemer:
can some1 explain, if its working with model i9515???

thanx. in advance.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Descore:
If KNOX is 0x0 you can always flash back to a fully non-rooted stock firmware and hand in to warranty repair. Once KNOX triggers, you can never get back to 0. If you don't care about warranty, or having a "clean" device, then you might as well use CF-Root, which is much easier and faster. But this method rocks as you can get your device back to "pristine" as-new condition, should you ever want to for some reason.

---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 AM ----------

All of the files used for this root are stock, so if you can find the similar ones for i9515 it should probably work. If you can get root using Towelroot, you can probably do the similar steps but with the firmware and bootloader tar's replaced with the appropriate ones for the i9515. There's no guarantee, but if you start with a rooted 4.4.2 my bet is that it would work.

Hi :)

Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Unfortunately I can't find any ROMs for your phone on XDA, but it looks like you can root it, take a look at this thread:

Once you have root you can have some level of customisation via Xposed Framework.

I upgraded to WM6 at the weekend and I've got a couple of issues. I'm not sure if this is for all WM6 roms or just the one I have ( LVSW(2007/04/23) RUU_Hermes_WWE_3.30.0.1). I've got the following problems:

1) When I open any message it skips to the bottom of the message which is really frustrating. How can I stop this?

2) I've hidden my sim contacts but when I compose a text message and type a recipient they still show up. How can I hide them completely?

3) I'd like the left button when viewing my inbox to be changed to "New" rather than "Delete".

Any help on the above 3 would be great. I've had a search for these issues/changes but I could not find anything

Hello,

I am just getting started with android & I am aiming at building a new version of this Piano Tiles game.

App store name: Don't touch the white tile.

I recently went through java so, I don't really have any experience in the same. I am looking forward to some mentor, to guide me on how do I move into this. I think android studio would be better suited for this task but I am not sure.

Can you just give me the libraries, classes, functions & related things to care about & possibly the steps involved ? I think I can collect the knowledge and create a logic around this.

Eagerly looking forward to a thoughtful response.

Has anyone else seen this. I can see all of my other backups, done previously, but not new ones. I've done all of the usual tricks, ES root option, searched every backup folder on sd and device, etc. I backup, stay in cwm, select restore, and there it is, with the other backups. Then reboot, and can't find it in recovery, or Nandroid manager. I see all of my backups except the new ones.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chameo53:
Apologies if this is answered elsewhere but I've been unable to find a clear and specific answer to my question. I've been flashing for a long time (just came to the N6 from a Note II) but the N6 world of unlocking is a different animal. I successfully unlocked, rooted, etc. my Verizon N6 the night I got it but am still unclear on the state of the "OEM Unlock" switch in Developer options once the initial unlock and set up is complete. I have always skipped the extra security set up when flashing anything but I do see that my OEM Unlock switch was set to off after I originally unlocked and it has remained off since then - even after several flashes of other 5.1 ROMS. I get the sense from my searches and reviews of what information I've been able to find that with 5.1 the switch doesn't stay on or persist through reboots but it still remains a question as to whether that is alright or normal. I'm not having issues and I don't have a need to re-lock since I'm now retired and have no corporate oversight I need to worry about any more.

Anyhow, just looking for clear direction on this specific question so any help is appreciated.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
This is an ongoing debate currently. It appears as if the OEM unlock toggle will persist through reboots if security settings are disabled. I.E. pin code, pattern, password unlocking. Early confirmation is beginning to come in on this. It appears some significant security changes happened in 5.1 that allow stock recovery to play a part in security features too. Still sorting through it all.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
[MENTION=3390496]chameo53[/MENTION]

Enable OEM unlock will not persist if you have TWRP recovery installed.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Is this definite? If you set it with no security and have stock recovery, it will persists after a reboot?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
That's the other side of the coin that I can't confirm yet.

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

I just flashed stock recovery.img to try it. I can confirm (for me, at least) that allow OEM unlock DOES NOT persist through a reboot.

Details:

LMY47D

Rooted

stock recovery.img

no security of any kind enabled

unencrypted kernel

swipe unlock

No other modifications.

Back to TWRP.

I just did this for a test. I have absolutely intention of locking my bootloader, but I'd like to help understand what's going on.

If you search this forum, there is an abundance of information on this topic. Some good, some not so much. Buyer beware! Every configuration is unique, starting points are wildly different. One solution may work in cases where variables are the same, but fail for many others. The final objective may be different, reflash factory image, custom rom, etc. You will need to do your research carefully and ask plenty of questions (you are on your way).

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chameo53:
Thanks to everyone for sharing insights and experience. I think the good news here is that I'm not looking to re-lock the bootloader or anything else at this point that is much beyond flashing new ROMS. If I've learned anything over the past 8 years or so I've been using unlocked phones is that rarely is there one definitive answer, solution or perspective on anything that has to do with modifications around phones. I've probably been pretty lucky (knock on wood) that I've never managed to brick any of my devices - probably in part because when I don't know or are unsure of something, I ask the XDA audience for their help.

In the meantime, I'll keep reading and trying things as the N6 community continues to grow and mature.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alioni:
Hey guys i got a slight problem.

I had the Android Revolution HD Rom and i was trying to install another one , it really wasnt my first time doing this however this time a problem occurred.

My volume side buttons are not working so i couldnt get into recovery mode using them also on top of that the rom itself didnt have the option to go to recovery when turning off the phone.

I downloaded the Quick boot tool apk from Playstore and used it to go to recovery... I WISH I DIDNT

now my phone when turned on shows samsung logo and it goes to recovery and quickly goes back to the logo and loops in that way...

Is there anyway to access the download mode without pressing them sidebuttons, i even tried ODIN but it cant recognize the phone because it keeps looping...

I am clueless now and any help would be appreciated.

Sorry for spelling or any typos i am really angry atm.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josephiskandar:
It doesn’t sound good then. Please read again threads like this on how to recover from a bootloop. If you really can’t access neither recovery or download mode using adb, that’s out of my knowledge, and you might need to read about how to fix a hard brick. There’s a thread about that in these stickies.

There are no security patches to worry about. Most Android devices are still on Kit-Kat, after all.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
So I'm reading that 5.1 allows for some customization of the Quick Settings pulldown. Customization as in, removing icons I'm never going to use (Cast Screen, Auto Rotate, etc.) and replace them with icons I do use (Hotspot). I read that if you long-press an icon you don't use is how to get rid of it. Several sites say the same thing. However, when I do that, nothing happens. Am I missing something obvious?

Dear all,

After several readings and searches in this forum, it seems I was not able to find the answer to this probably very simple (pure newbie's) question...

The "similar threads" found just with the title I wrote are not pertinent here.

I first apologize for my very bad Engish... I hope it will not prevent you to undertand the meaning of my question.

Here is my configuration: LG G3 D855, 32Go, Android 5.0, software version V20h-EUR-XX

I come from an excellet Galaxy S4 under kitkat 4.4.2 (unfortunately, strange repetitive crashes led me to change and let the S4 to Samsung guarantee).

Here is the problem:

when I want to send a SMS/MMS to one of my contacts, I do not need to see the FAX number, the email, the inhouse phone... I just have to get the mobile phone number ;)

Even if I defined the default phone number for my contacts, the soft always propose me these dummy (useless) propositions for SMS/MMS.

The consequence is that in my favorite list of contacts, there are just 6 contacts. I expected to get 6 possible phone numbers (this was the cas with my S4).

Unfortunately, I get 13 possible contacts (including FAX, email, home phone, etc...).

With such way of working, total of 63 contatcs are transformet in 173 possible "dummy contacts" and this is very difficult/slow to find out the only one right one :eek:

If you have an idea to help me to solve this "small" problem, I would be very indebted to you ;)

And of course, all my appologies if I missed the answer somewhere....:o
