same here.

flashed BL/Modem 3 weeks ago from PK2 to QK1.

I ONLY put XXUHQK1_COMBINED.TAR into field CP and had success only with ODIN 3.10.7. (it first failed then it went okay)

I started with the highest available Odin and tried some others, all went through without errors, but didn't changed BL/Modem (checked with app "Phone INFO ★SAM★" [1])

according to this:

https://www.**********.com/odin-version-samsung-device-compatibility-list/

and this

https://www.**********.com/download-odin-tool-for-samsung-galaxy-devices-all-versions/

I last picked Odin 3.10.7 cause the last stock I flashed years ago was Android 5.0 Lollipop => Odin 3.10.7.

In the first run with Odin 3.10.7 I got a FAILED too, but a second run went through without errors and successful changed BL/Modem.

I don't know if this matters too: I connect my phone for the last successful odin run to an USB2 port, even I got no error or connection problems with USB3.

Odin

I had the same Odin experiences as you did. But since using 3.1.0.6 I haven't had a problem, regardless the rom version or other flashable files.. It's listed as the Samsung edition and that seems to be true.

menu buttons light up continuously

I found a small bug. It doesn't appear all the time but sometimes it happens.

When you wake up the phone by pressing the power or home button the lights of the buttons light up. Normal behavior would be that the lights go out after a few seconds. But sometimes the lights stay on, even after you log in (I use a pin code) start the browser for example and they are still on. Until I touch a button then they go out.

I use rom v10.1

update to XXUHQK1 successful

Hello and thanks for the answers.

I used ODIN version 3.13.1 as indicated in the guide recommended by SIDE here: NEVER forget that guide -> https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/general/guide-i9505-how-to-clean-install-custom-t3864377

In the same guide, under "MODEMS & BOOTLOADERS" there are the files to download and the instructions to follow, which I report:

MODEMS & BOOTLOADERS COLLECTION

GT-I9505:

Latest Modem QK1Modem

Latest Bootloader QK1Bootloader

You can find most of the Modems & Bootloaders HERE. Just search for your device model.

Steps:

1. Open Odin

2. Reboot your device to Download Mode, connect it to PC and put Modem (CP Section) + BL (BL Section). Untick Auto Reboot in options before you flash and when you have flashed it, Reboot to Download Mode and Flash Modem + BL again with Auto Reboot on.

3. Done! Check what Modem and BL you have, if Modem and BL didn't change.

Some explanation:

- For Stock Rom to your WiFi, you need to have the same version of Modem / BL as your Firmware. For example if you have QK1 Stock Rom then you need to have QK1 Modem / BL.

- On Custom Roms doesn't matter. You can have the latest QK1 for GT-I9505

or the latest for your variant.

Perhaps the reason is precisely this that I have the last variant for my model. How do you know for sure?

Even with the modem and the current S4 bootloader it works fine, so I don't keep it that way.

Thanks again.

P.S. GPS tried little but for now enough.

**EDIT**

I did the update with HEIMDALL and it was perfectly successful. I attach a phone info screenshot. Thank you all for your help

I edited the post, adding the passages to the answers. I explain: In the first time I used ODIN version 1.13.1 but, while following the guide, the update was not successful. Then I used HEIMDALL 1.4.0 and successfully upgraded. I posted photo confirming update to XXUHQK1 version. I hope I have clarified and apologize for the previous post. Thank you.

Translated with Google translator I apologize for errors and incorrect words

Ho editato il post, aggiungendo i passaggi alle risposte. Spiego: In primo tempo ho usato ODIN versione 1.13.1 ma, pur seguendo la guida, non andava a buon fine l'aggiornamento. Dopo ho usato HEIMDALL 1.4.0 e ho fatto l'aggiornamento con successo. Ho postato foto che conferma aggiornamento alla versione XXUHQK1. Spero di aver chiarito e mi scuso per il precedente post.

I tried to update modem and bootloader again and thought I had to flash both in one step, but twice to be successful. At first attempt, i've got a "fail". Probably I misunderstood / hadn't read correctly the flashing instructions :rolleyes:

I've noticed that my YouTube really struggles with any sort of 60fps video. Surely the s4 should be able to handle 720p60 at least?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] rotkovich:
I just tested 1080p60 and the phone handled it just fine (latest 10.1) through NewPipe.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
It's all formats and (lack of) hardware support.

Newpipe allows forcing mpeg that is easier to decode at the bitrate served.

Seems your PIT is messed up. Where you put the PIT file? If you have 9505, go to my guide and download the PIT file from there, go to PIT tab in Odin and put it there, connect your device to PC but on different usb port. Then try to flash the PIT.

Hello

my first impressions :

All installed fine and smooth, rebooted fine and fast

I used aroma aswell v 4.1 . on a I9505.

Hardware buttons are working fine , most of the features I tried are working.

When phone is in sleep mode/ standby /locked whatever .. battery is amazing , almost no draining in the whole night, impressive

But yes there is always a but :) when the phone is being used, it gets really hot and battery drains really fast, this was tested with normal usage (whatsapp, messages, email ....)

I was wondering if maybe there could be an incompatibility with some apps installed or if some apps should ba avoided, typical those cm, aio, and battery apps ..

Congrats on the good work

hello, I install the new bootloader and modem firmware. the cell phone with the Rom stock part, all set up and all installed everything ok. then flash twrp and ok, all wipe e clean, I install the rom lineage, magisk and gapps, but when I turn it on it comes up in the loading screen with the colors flashing and goes to infinity. I noticed something that he never did before when I updated the rom and that is that after the samsung s4 screen it stops and restarts and then turns back on, arrives at the screen with the P and the flashing LEDs and does not go forward. I re installed firmware stock rom, flash all, re flash rom, wipe, reflash rom. nothing to do, with stock rom part. Please help me. Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Retrial:
The bootloop you describe after samsung s4 screen is normal and it's caused by Magisk. It happens only once in the first boot. However you should be able to pass the bootanimation after that. May I ask what model do you have? What Version of Rom you trying to install? What Gapps do you use? Try again clean install, flash Rom v10.1 and Pico or Nano Gapps. If all goes good, then reboot to recovery and flash Magisk.

kinda strange though, as soon as phone was locked/sleep, it got a lot cooler and no battery drain, but just 5 minutes of usage and it was getting really hot ..

yes, i do wipe and format data. I have pk2 modem bootloader because firmware is pk2, I also tried modem and bootloader qk1. With the old bootloader firmware and modem the lineage os version 9 was going.

however it remains a i 9505. from years i changed many roms.

Also, tracfone, usa, sm-s975l- is there a newer modem/baseband than original? From what i can gather going to samsmobile is only original available.

Don't know if i understand correctly but

i.g.:

opt. los16 is pre-rooted (su), you can disable root if you like in settings>system>developer options.

if you want to update from 14.1 to 16.0, you should simply stick to sides first post, you don't need to unroot. Also Retrial's guide is recommended to flash latest modem/bootloader and a lot of other neat things:

- flash latest TWRP 3.3.1-0 (see first post or Retrial guide)

- flash latest modem and bootloader for your device (described in Retrial guide)

- flash optimized los 16 (described in first post or Retrial guide)

Good luck and happy flashing

Hi all, Is it just me, that play store shows in settings/about "uncertified" and that i can not use Google pay anymore (used it without problems on OptLOS 9, 9.1 and 10)? BTW i also can not install amazon app. In magisk the safetynet check also fails. For me these "problems" seems to be since i updated to optlos 10.1.

The link I posted is the downloaded package of stock FQA1 for SGH-M919 straight from Samsung. I've used it on mine to fix a rollback issue to FOK3 from a custom ROM. If you Odin (use 3.12.10) roll back to a factory fresh version of FOK3 and then hook it up to Kies 3 (don't use smart switch), it will ask to upgrade to FQA1 and download the same package but might update other firmware files on your M919 prior to installing.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Buff99:
Is your SElinux state permissive or enforcing?

You will need to switch to enforcing for safetynet to be able to pass;

you will need safetynet to pass to be able to have playstore certified

(once safeteynet passes kill playstore app, delete data from app then restart and you should get certified).

I don't know why amazon doesn't appear (I suspect the pixel3 fingerprint we had to use for magisk).

You can still use amazon app by going to amazon website and searching for "amazon app android" and downloading from there.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] meiertom:
Thank you. Switching to enforcing let me pass safetynet and play store shows now certified.

Just one more question: do you have any hint to get Google pay working. If i try to add a payment methode it fails, because Google pay says " phone is rooted" Google pay and the Google play services are checked in magisk hide and before i switched to 10.1 it was working.
