Hi guys i would like to install a custom rom on my 19505 lte. I am currently on Stock 4.2.2 xxubmf8 with the old bootloader and knox free.
Can someone suggest me a good 4.2.2 stock like rom that is based on the old bootloader and knox free?
I am generally a neat rom fan from my s2 days, so looking for a similar rom that would give me features like,
Call recording
No sms to mms conversion
Stock kernal
Root access built in
Stock boot animation
4 way reboot etc
Nfc tags support
I would appreciate if someone could suggest me such a rom with link. Thanks

So here i am with a brand new GS4 GT-I9505 and i thought it would be clever to do what i did with my GS2 and root and flash a custom rom to it (Cyanogenmod 10.1 through TWRP)
Clever me forgot to back it up !!!NOOB!!! (but thats beside the point)
Now im stuck with this rom with wifi doesnt work or mobile data and a host of other problems (Such as every time i turn the device off i have to reset the time and date!)
I have looked on the net for weeks and cannot find a way to revert back to the original stock version of my phone as i wish to have this back with all of its features. Main problem being is that every video or text help that i find is for other versions of the phone. Really frustrating as i do not want to destroy/brick the phone.
Would appreciate if anyone could help me in restoring my phone to its original state/factory state. Am pulling my hair out over this. Im not new to this however step by step would be also appreciated
Details of the device:
Device - GT-I9505 (Orange/EE) Android 4.2.2

Yes this will work no plm even if u have diffrnt baseband
for example u can flash any latest firmware which is available for any region without any issues "Not China" there some language is diffrnt if I m not wrng
But make sure its only for the variant u have like i9505 etc
Edit I always suggest take a back up of EFS of your device for safety

Don't worry u take a good sleep this thing will work :good:
Installing a pre rooted ROM won't give you stock/factory state.
If you really want your Official EE ROM go to Sammobile and download it.
Download triangle away to reset flash counter and as soon as its reset boot to download mode and flash Official stock EE ROM. No root.

Hi All
Does anyone know if an app like Safestrap exists for the Note 3 SM-N9005??
In the original thread it mentions its only for Verizon phones??
The reason i ask is there are so many custom roms and i'd like to find out which out suits me the best (without having to fully test and flash 10 different roms).
Other than that, what custom roms are you guys using at present??
Bobcat, X-note and Omega seems popular at the moment
Phone facts:
Knox at 0x1
Phone on MJ7
Recovery is CWM
Based in the uk
Thanks all

I'm on crash rom I've tried them all
All good roms crash and omega are almost stock and the others are themed
@jaythenut
Brilliant, wondered why there was so many roms but most of them all do the same thing!!!
I've read up on Omega but never heard of Crash, will look in to in now.
How did you choose which rom was the best for you?? Did you flash each one individually?? That must have been so time consuming!!

Im going to flash the crash aroma now and see how it goes

I'm reading a lot of stuff about bootloaders and so on, and non-working wifi when going to TW 4.3 rom.
I'm now on an AOSP 4.4.2 kitkat rom. Say I'd like to try a sammy 4.3 rom, can I just flash the rom via CWM or do I need to do other steps before that ?
No flashing through cwm will work just fine. If any problems you can install a custom kernel I've been seeing a lot about devil kernel for 4.3

Be careful if you don't want to have Knox bootloader, and apps installed.
Some of the custom ROMs are already Knox free, so, depending on your Note II version you might only have to install a custom kernel (to have Wi-Fi like my case).
I have a N2 LTE (7105, t0lte) version, and I have now Ditto Note 3 (with Note 3 applications - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541860), and it can be installed in almost all N2 versions. I just have to follow your N2 version instructions.
Best regards

Hi folks!
I'm one of the the few lucky ones still being on the pre-KNOX 4.2.2, buildnumber JDQ39.I9505XXUBMGA. I own the international (swedish unbranded) version of the I9505. At the moment i have Root and a custom recovery installed, stock TouchWiz.
Now I want to discuss the pros and cons of WHETHER staying on this version, installing a custom ROM and a custom recovery OR updating to Jelly Bean 4.3 and only having the possibility to root without voiding my warranty.
I'm wondering:
Are there are any improvements in performance and stability with Jelly Bean 4.3?
Is there a stable custom ROM?
Is there a stable custom ROM that uses all the possibilties on the SGS4?
The reasons why I want to have ROOT is the annoying inability to move app data to the SD card. I don't want to void warranty.
Every answer/idea/opinion is welcome!

Hi, first of all, you lucky guy can flash every custom ROM 4.3 and also 4.4.2 when no new bootloader is included.:good:
the Samsung based ROMS are fully working. All you have to do is to flash a ROM of your choice and update your baseband. It should have the same base as the ROM. So if the ROM is based on a NB8 firmware, you have to use a NB8 baseband. But flash only the modem.bin file, not the non-hlos file.
for working wifi use a custom kernel like KT or similar.
The performance and the batterylife are in my opinion much better in 4.3 and 4.4.2.
it depends on your using.
just try a little bit. As long as you not update you bootloader, you're on the safe side.

How do I know that a custom ROM doesn't contain the new bootloader? Does the bootloader come with the kernel? If so, which kernel versions are safe? Which custom ROM without new kernel is most stable?
Do 4.3 and 4.4 run on the old kernel? Are there significant improvements in the original kernel coming with 4.3?
After reading about 4.4 I absolutely do not want to update to KitKat.
Many questions but the amount of kernels and ROMs is simply overpowering for someone who does not have the time to read every post on XDA every day.
Seeing forward to your answers.
I'm pre knox and have flashed various rims including the Google Edition roms. Currently I'm on KitKat TW rom using the pre rooted debloated version. You'll have to update to the kitkat kernel but this is included in the rom. All custom roms that are flashable via recovery will not have the new bootloader. Knox is tied into the bootloader. Why don't you want to install kitkat? It's better overall with the new kitkat features.
I run KT kernel it's a fantastic kernel in my opinion and has many tweaks.

Thank you for your answer. I read about problems accessing the SD card in KitKat. Or is this not a problem with custom ROMs? I want to be able to move app data to SD card.

Hi guys,
I would like to flash my AT&T galaxy s4 with an European stock Rom (preferably french). Until now, I didn't succeeded.
My phone is rooted.
I have attached a screenshot of my phone details.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Looks like you still have the MDL firmware which is a good thing. Do NOT update your phones firmware or you won't be able to flash certain things. Just get root with MotoChopper and Loki in its thread. Then you can flash a ROM that will have the French language installed or can be installed.
OK now to hopefully answer your question I would suggest something like ShoStock-i 7.0 as it is based off International firmware KitKat 4.4.2 which will bring you to one of the newest firmwares and not lock down your bootloader further. It may have the French language installed. I will check to see.
Otherwise you would need to find some dev that could port a French based firmware to the i337 for you. But whatever you do, DO NOT flash any STOCK Firmwares to get the updated KitKat firmware. You would be sorry you did.

Looks like some French languages are already installed, French Canadian/French France/ and a couple others

Thanks RockRatt for your answer and advises. I ll have a look on this rom. My phone is already rooted and i have flashed tge loki too.
So this means that it isn't possible to install a clean stock rom in order to transform my at&t into an international model. I tought it could be possible since they apparently share the same hardware.

Unfortunately no, the bootloader is locked (even with the Loki bypass). Where the i9505 bootloader was not locked.
If you were to flash a stock French firmware (it would most likely fail to flash at all) it could brick your phone.
Since we have locked bootloaders it does limit some things, but not much since you have the Loki bypass and can use real recoveries to flash almost anything. Good luck

4.4.4 GPE battery drain and hiding app issue
Hi RockRatt,
I ve finally flashed it with the 4.4.4 GPE on my phone every is working perfectly except 2 things:
Battery drain : 50% in 2 hours
Impossible to make work properly pictures, sms & calls hiding app (Hide Pictures - Hide it Pro). I ve read that since 4.4+ it's a known issue.
I was wondering if you have any idea to solve those issues.
I have already create a post for those issues but i tought you may be helpful on those matters.
Thanks for your advises
Sorry I have never tried the GPE Roms. I have just stuck with Touchwiz based Roms since it works great for me, works with my Gear 1 perfectly

Don't worry thanks for your quick reply . I ll probably install a dual boot in order to have a touchwiz on the phone in case i want to take some pics considering the quality of the GPE rom
