Hei guys !
I'm new on this Nexus 4 forum( i've just purchased my N4) and want to know if there are different versions of 4.2.2 for N4 depending on the region, or there is only one version for every N4 in the world.
Kinda noobish question. Sorry.:silly:
I just realized i've posted in the wrong section.Sorry
1. Just update to 4.3 and ignore 4.2.2
2.?????
3. Profit

At first , out of the box the phone came with 4.2.2
After a few days I've decided to go for the 4.3 update. Installed the update from the phone , but it seemed to drain battery pretty fast. And flashed back to 4.2.2
But i'm not sure if there are specific 4.2.2 firmwares for my country or there is only one firmware for all N4 devices

AFAIK, there are no such region specific firmwares for Nexus 4.
you can flash any custom rom 4.3 based and with kernel you like and you wont get problems. :good:
I had read, after updating to 4.3 through system update a factory reset was recommended in order to avoid such issues.

Thanks for the reply.
I don't want to root because I don't want to void my warranty. And about the factory reset after 4.3 update, I did do that, but still the battery was worse than on 4.2.2
Maybe I should of kept 4.3 for a few days to see how the phone settles with the new update. I dunno.

Hi, i have been reading 4.3 update for my version of galaxy s4 and i have a couple of questions. Is it recommended to do this update?(i have version i9500). Is knox included in 4.3 update? I mean, i only read that knox bootloader is for i9505 so far...
PD: My current android version is 4.2.2 JellyBean (Official firmware)
Thanks you in advance
Get one thing straight, this 4.3 is an official update, so yes, you should upgrade. Yes, Knox is included. There will be loads of nuisance saying don't upgrade and all, but stop paying attention to clueless comments.
1. If you have a rooted device would suggest you to a wait as many people with rooted devices don't want the 4.3 update. Else you can definitely update to 4.3.
2. Yes obviously 4.3 includes the Knox for i9500 as well.

Isn't there a downside of having Knox? Btw, has anybody tried out the unknown firmware yet? Should i perform a factory reset if i decide to update my phone via ODIN(There's no update for my country yet)?
Thanks you in advance

I don't really know, it is put there by Samsung for a reason. If you don't like Knox stuffs then you can disable/freeze them via Titanium.
You can download Indian 4.3 ROM and flash it via Odin. I don't know whether it'll wipe your device or not, but it's an official ROM, so I guess it should not wipe your data. Still, to be safe, make a full backup of your phone via Titanium or any software of your choice.

I heard that u can't root the device if u have Knox bootloader, so i dont think Titanium will work. Did u already update your GS4? If so, how's the overall functionality?

There's a way around, and it's pretty simple. Just look under general section, there's a topic by Degraded Shadow (sorry if I misspelled).
No, I have not flashed 4.3 yet, only one reason, I use a custom kernel, and I know that kernel is having a typical wakelock problem at the moment, when it's fixed I will flash 4.3. I am excited by the users feedback though, lots of people said lot less lags in camera and gallery, the device feels smoother overall and finally a true full screen browser and all.....all are users reviews, not mine
Is it safe to upgrade my i9500 to 4.3, because i heared some problems of battery draining , overheating and some other problems, im still on 4.2.2 MG9 build, is it safe to upgrade and not be afraid of having any problems ?
After upgraded my S4 i9500 from 4.2.2 to 4.3 XUEMJ5 via Kies, I'm having a lot of troubles regarding battery drain and overheating.
I came to the Samsung Services Center yesterday and asked them to downgrade my device back to 4.2.2, but their answer is "Sorry, we cannot do it. Once upgraded to 4.3, there is no way to reverse to 4.2" ?!?!!?!?!
Is it true? Has anybody tried to downgrade your S4 from 4.3 to 4.2
Thanks for your advice!

I had the same issue. There seems to be a problem downgrading to certain 4.2.2 roms. I eventualy managed to downgrade using the South African version (I9500XXUBMH1) . After you've flashed this,you can re-flash whichever ROM you prefer.
Give it a go and let me know.
Cheers
you are you kidding

Are you really serious? So you can downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2.2 using that firmware? What does your knox say in download mode?

Unfortunately it states:
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Warrant Bit: 1
But it doesn't really bother me for now, until I have to send it back for repairs I guess
I'm sure the Chainfire guys will eventually be able to reset this counter as the TriangleAway is currently not supporting the GS4 I9500.
Cheers
So is there a specific way you have to flash it or do i just use odin?
Do i flash the roms back to back or what?
I need help. I got a Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH - I337) Rooted from AT&T. I got two problems.
First I cannot update my version from JellyBean 4.2 to 4.3. Every time I had downloaded the update when the device restarts and it reaches 21% on the update it said's "Update Fail". What can I do?!
NOTE - (Someone told me that because I rooted the phone I cannot update my phone through AT&T servers)
Secondly my device from time to time restarts it self.
And sometimes the wifi stars connecting and disconnecting every few seconds.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Having root can stop the install.

Do a factory reset and see if that helps, do a backup before you start.....good luck.,...
Ok. So theres no manual update? No way I can update my phone to Jellybean 4.3?

The ATT updates can fail due to the device being rooted as stated by others here. Just as it has been recommended do a back up and a factory reset to see if it helps with your rebooting issues and wifi. Check your baseband under settings/about and if it ends with MDL i would recommend that you DO NOT update. The reason for this is that since you are rooted you can install ANY custom ROM on your phone, you can even install the latest google edition ROM 4.4.2. If you do the ATT updates and your baseband changes to MF3 or MK2 then you will be stuck with just limited ROMS and you will also be stuck with all the ATT/TW bloatware. Trust me 4.4.2 is soooo much better your phone will run alot faster and you will have the latest google version on your phone. I was on MDL and all the ATT updates failed on me and i just decided to install the google edition ROM and man oh man I LOVE IT!

Nice where can I get a Google Play Edition ROM?
Question: Having the google play edition on my phone can I keep updating it until I have kikkat?

What's your baseband first???

You may not be able to flash 4.3 roms and above with no issues. Your bootloader is locked down and no custom kernel flashing either. Also, only TW roms. That said there is newer beta Safestrap 3.7.1? that is letting 4.3 TW roms flash. I think!
I am on an original phone and not up on Safestrap. Read all you can here about it. Threads will be in General and Q&A.

On MF3, your only option for a recovery is Safestrap 3.65 and you can only flash other 4.2.2 ROMS. Trying to use the updater in the GPE 4.2.2 ROM will possibly brick your phone. If you update to MK2 then you can have 4.3 ROMS but the 4.3 GPE ROM uses a different kernel and so you won't be able to use it.

Yes, but if anyone is asking for the record it's still in beta, only on Hashcode's goo.im, and if they're still on MF3 they should stay if they want GPE and check which ROMs are compatible in the Safestrap thread before going to MK2.

Appreciate the info--I did know about the beta. Too much to keep up on with this phone--
Sooo I have a Note 3 9005 and am running rooted 4.3 jellybean. I wanted to upgrade to the official 5.0 rom for some time now but couldn't find the time (or couldn't be bothered tbh ) but latetly I've been thinking about it again and have decided to do it. I remember when i first looked into it, i read somewhere that i can't directly flash the 5.0 rom from 4.3 and i have to upgrade to 4.4 first and then 5.0?
Is that true? Has anybody done that? (upgrade from 4.3 directly to 5.0)
Anything I should know before doing it?
Thnx in andvance!
Btw, I have the MJ7 build
Are you rooted?
Just updated to the latest rom for your region, i would do a full wipe before changing android versions though.

Yes, I am rooted (Knox 0x1) and also plan to do a full wipe. I remember reading something about the kernel versions from 4.3 to 5.0 not being compatible and that I have to update to 4.4 first, that's why I am aksing.
Thnx for your answer!

Really? Why waste time on this. Go ahead and flash 4.4 then 5. What's the big deal.
Hi. I got a problem here. Whenever the phone finishes install an app (from Play Store), my phone would just reboot randomly. Is there any solution for this.
Thank you.
My Note 3 (SM-N9005) is running on Android 5.0 (Lollipop) / Not Rooted.
Weird issue. How long have you been running your current firmware?
Don't want to sound too obvious but maybe you'll need factory reset

I used this firmware for a few months already. I tried downgrading to Android KitKat (4.4.2), the issue wasn't present, until after I updated my Note 3 to Lollipop. I have just factory reset 2 days ago, by the way.

The Lollipop Update was an OTA update. And yes, I have flashed the correct firmware for my region.
Try flashing the entire ROM twice with Odin with a factory reset between each flash.
Stock ROMs can be found at updato.com or sammobile.com.
Yeah..me also got same issue as yours with official lollipop rom..
After flash custom roms..all issue gone
Dont know oso why...
Is there any Samsung Stock Ported ROMS for Note 3 (N9005) that I can install on my device?

Not sure what you mean by Stock Ported .
Samsung stock based custom roms are in the Android Development section .
