Hi all,
Im having some problems with my I9505 from poor wi-fi, slow transfer rates, and some problems with cam, when using 4.3 camera version recorded vídeo is garbled, tryed it with several roms never with stock 4.3 because of knox, and major battery problems too, phone starts to soft reset when in low battery and charge times are not consistent.
I have now a Omega rom v19-XXUEML6 baseband XXUEMJ5, cant see anything about knox on download mode.
I want to send it to warranty,
The plan was, to go to a pre-rooted stock rom install triangle away reset all to original, and install the latest version available for TPH and test the problems again, the problem is that i need to do it safely or all the problems might not be fixed in warranty if knox is tripped somehow.
Apreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

since u never flashed stock Samsung,u should not have Knox counter ..
Go to download mode to confirm,if there's no Knox counter there,simply use triangle away,reset binary counter to 0(make sure to return to stock 4.2.2 first) then send it to warranty.

Hi the problem is that i need 4.3 to check the camera malfunction. And to use triangle away and make all original i need a rooted stock ROM.

Maybe i didnt explain correctly, o tried a lot of roms just to fix the 4.3 camera app, none of them work, video recordings image is completely out of focus and i dont know the word to decribe the picture garbled, mixed in bands...
To complain i need to test the camera app in 4.3 stock rom.
Any other help?
Dial *#0*# and test the camera from there.
It doesnt help. As i said it only happens on video recording, there is no test for that on the option.
Again, the only thing im asking help for is to install a clean 4.3 stock rom with staus original to return to warranty
Thanks again for any help.

can i unroot it ??? because i wanna upgrade it to kitkat if can ...
please someone help me ... new on android ...
which country firmware i need to download ???
will my phone brick if i download wrong firmware ???
If you want to unroot fully download triangle away to reset your counter and run it then uinstall superuser. That's pretty much it if you are on stock with stock recovery. If not you can flash stock through odin and it will be back to factory. There is a stock 4.4 prerooted 4.4.2 available which you could flash without needing to unroot

I know it might all sound too overwhelming cause that's how i felt when i was in your situation but reading a lot of threads and gaining as much knowledge i somehow understood what i needed to proceed ahead and flash newer custom ROMS,since you are 4.1.2 and rooted in order to upgrade to 4.3 or 4.4.2 custom roms you don't need to unroot or use triangle away,all you need is custom recovery (philz touch 6.26.0 or twrp 2.7.0) ,you need mj5 bootloader(i'll explain about bootloader in detail below ) and last but not the least backup your current 4.1.2 stock rooted ROM as well as EFS partition.You can visit dr ketan's thread on how to back up your efs incase your imei goes corrupted chances are rare but it has happened with people so backing up EFS is must.Now after you have taken care of 4.1.2 ,you can proceed with flashing a custom ROM,since you want to flash 4.4.2 there are several deknoxed,dedoxed and pre rooted ROM's available by developers and they are just like stock samsung ROM.
Now comes the tricky part and it depends on an individual how he goes about bootloader part. Since you are on 4.1.2 stock rooted ROM your bootloader is outdated,there are few 4.3 Jellybean bootloaders but MJ5 bootloader is the BEST cause it's deknoxed ,meaning it won't void your warranty so even if you upgrade to 4.4.2 you can always go back to 4.1.2 stock ROM ,unroot your phone ,reset the flash counter via triangle away and then take it to service center.If you flash MK4/MJ9 bootloaders which is built in if you officially upgrade to 4.3 you'll be KNOX ,so when you root your phone knox will be triggered and warranty will be null,there's NO WAY currently to reset knox once its triggered. There are no benefits of knox but samsung has its own theory of implementing it for security purposes.Also one cannot downgrade back to 4.1.2 if they flash a knox bootloader you'll be stuck on 4.3 or 4.4 roms
So let's say you flash mj5 bootloader ,then flash the kitkat ROM from one of the links available on xda only draw back being on 4.3 jellybean bootloader (whether its mj5/mk4/mj9) you cannot charge your phone when turned off when on samsung touch wiz kitkat ROM.Kitkat bootloader is available but it's KNOXED which as stated earlier knoxed bootloader will void your warranty but you'd be able to charge your phone when turned off.
I know this is a lot of information at once for you to understand but main thing you should worry about is backing up EFS partition and which bootloader you choose, once you take care of those two things, ROM flashing is easy if you follow the correct steps on how to flash it (mainly making sure you clean your internal memory of phone clean).I am on mj5 bootloader and just this morning i flashed 4.4.2 ROM and everything is running smoothly,no fc no bootloop nothing.
Hello
I recently got my S4 i9505. I'm planning to root it
I have Android version 4.3
I used to flash costum roms on my s2 but I'm not really planning to do much flashing on my S4. not soon anyway
So as I connected the phone to Kies to make sure the drivers were downloaded so I can proceed with rooting
Firmware update popped up
I'm not sure what the best option for me now.
Should I root now and then I'd be able to flash a costume KK rom? and are there any stable ones that are better than the stock?
Can I use kies to update my rooted phone?
Maybe I should stick with JB 4.3? Which one is better 4.3 or 4.4.2?
I remember facing some issues when I update my s2 back. So I searched for the KK Update for the s4 and some people weren't so happy with their KK update
I know that doesn't represent the majority but still it could happen to me
So I confused myself
What is your advice to me?
sorry for the long post
Also I have an extra question What is KNOX? and do I need it?

First, the most problems in 4.4.2 are fixed, so if you flash the officical, latest firmware of your country you shouldn't have any problem.
An important thing: if you flash a custom rom, your warranty will be set 0x1, that means, you lost your garanty if you flash a custom rom, that's the so called KNOX. You can use knox like a second system on your phone, with all secure data in it, you can only access with a passwort and all datas are locked without this passwort.
Root your phone after the software update if you want to root it.

That's wrong, just not with towelroot.
thank you for your input
So I flashed the SuperStock ROM the other day. To get Samsung Pay working.. can I just flash a stock TMobile firmware (i have a tmo model) via ODIN and restore the phone back to stock ? I understand Knox will still be tripped once I flashed it. Will that prevent Samsung Pay to work ? Anybody do this before ? lol

Hi there! Nice to see you around... used your ROMs years ago on my HD2!
Well, regarding knox, as far as I could read so far, there is no way around it, except a dev has a something hidden and didn´t tell the community yet. Once tripped, there is no way back and samsung pay won´t work, unfortunately. I already tested by "unrooting" and flashing a stock rom through odin. It will state that the rom is official but KNOX = 1.
Hey guys,
I always used custom rom in my life, i was at Xperia Z1 and the stock was very bad... But with S6 i don't feel i need to get a custom, i enjoy a lot the Samsung work on the stock, but after looking the Miui 7, i really thought in flashing the custom rom.
So the question is... I saw that Knox and Samsung Pay will not work after the process, is there a way, later, that I can get back to original and get the Knox and Pay working again? My concern is about the security on Knox and the Pay when i sell the phone in the future, because I don't use this feature...
Thanks a lot if anyone can answer me!
Im no expert on android devices but from what I am heard you have to do a full factory reset to a stock rom and samsung pay will be enable but knox counter will still show that it has been tripped.
