Stock att kernal, updating camera firmware

I've been searching for the stock kernal for at&t users for s bit now, can't find it I'm trying to fix the annoying "updating camera firmware,please wait..." message. Unless there's a better way, I'll just assume you have to flash the sock kernal to update it. But if you flash the sock Kernal, wouldn't the phone fail on boot?

No, I'm running Wanamlite v1.0.
I just reinstalled the stock AT&T rom to allow the camera to update, but when I ran the camera, no update appeared. So I figured it was all set. After re-rooting, I re-installed Wanamlite and KT kernal, open up the camera, and sure enough the message re-appears. I didn't perform any wipes. But it looks like I'll have to because all the AT&T bloatware was re-installed again.

Your mistake was reinstalling Wanamlite again. Here's how you install non AT&T ROMs
1. Root your phone. I used the one click TWRP and Loki method.
2. Factory Reset and install custom ROM.
3. Install AT&T kernel. Let it boot up. Open Camera.
4. Reboot to recovery. Install custom kernel. Wipe cache and Dalvik. Fix Permissions.
5. Reboot. All done.

Thanks, you're right about my mistake lol I ended up just installing someone else's ROM and it works perfectly. I'm a bit lost reading your instructions, It was my understanding that custom ROM's would not load with stock kernel?

You need a carrier kernel for your custom ROM.

Exactly, its nice he can recommend installing a stock kernel, but they are not to be found. I asked in another thread and didn't get an answer. I somehow got it to work just wiping and installing Omega 5.0 Then to get wifi to work I installed ktoonez kernel.

okay, assuming you're using the AT&T variant, I did this:
I got the looping "installing camera firmware" and tried faux an ktoonsez with no luck
I flashed this tmobile stock kernel and the camera firmware updated successfully by going into the camera app.
I then just flashed faux kernel back and everything worked great.

I use shabbypenguin's auto loki CWM recovery, but you'll have to definitely flash the loki patch after the tmo kernel to make this work.

[Q] Your device has been modified..

Hey People,
i previously rooted my phone on stock firmware along with changing the kernel. I have no restored and removed root back to stock but i get this message when doing a OTA update as i need the latest update to enable 4G on my phone. It says Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available. How do i go about fixing this? I have done some research and used the triangle app to reset the flash counter which now says Official rather then Custom In download mode? If i flash the firmware does it automatically Re flash my Kernel or is that separate? I have looked for the stock i9505 kernel i Just cant seem to find it.
Will appreciate the help
Thanks

flash stock firmware, stock kernel included

It's normal that it says that. Just install Xposed framework, then Wanam Xposed, there is an option to fake the system status as official and thus you'll be able to update firmware OTA.

Thank you for your answer, but unfortunately I can't use Kies since I use Linux and there is no Kies for Linux. May be another solution like adb?

Thank you!
I wiped the data, without success, then I flashed everything again with Heindall 1.4.0, then wiped everything again. Now I have official status and should receive OTA updates.
Edit: but after rooting the official status is lost. Now I think this may be normal.

Help help help....

I have looked but cant find anything that is exactly like my problem...
I was using Omega ROM but wanted to go back to Stock unrooted firmware.
I flashed Stock 4.3 (XXUEMKF to be precise - both Baseband and Build) using Odin 3.04
Now I cant turn wifi on (common problem I believe???)
When I go into Download mode I dont have any KNOX lines and my Binary is Custom not stock!!!
What is the best way to get my baby working..... im in the UK if that makes a difference

You did flash a stock 4.3 and yet you still got no Knox Void warranty in Downloadmode? try to flash the wifi fix on Djembey thread and Do you really need to make another thread regarding this issue?

Knox failed to install in kitkat

Hi folks!
I upgraded to KK via OTA.
I'm using knox a lot (don't laugh)...
When I tapped to open knox, it starts to install. This is where the problem is. Installation always stuck, randomly at any point. The furthest I got was up to 78% and it just stuck there.
I had cleared the cache partition using the N3 recovery as my phone is not rooted. Same issue.
Also I notice that after upgraded to kitkat, copy n paste doesn't work all the time...
Can anyone shed some light on my Knox n copy paste issue?
Thx in advance

Potentially an issue with KNOX on KK, buuuut, I'd hazard a guess you need to do a full wipe as the old JB file system is probably interfering with it, JB + KK have different structures so maybe causing the issue.

Oh dear. .. I always hated full wipe on a stock rom...
Thx for the suggestion though

Hi, I too have exactly the same problem and it happened after I downloaded the latest updates released by Samsung for Note 3 (KK) in India. I am a regular KNOX user. I have dropped a support query to Samsung. Let me see what response I get.
It is surprising to see that there is no way to re-download and re-install the KNOX apk. Googlling only gives you ways to uninstall KNOX
I wish there is a way out without factory reset.

Hi,
Had the same issue and fixed it without the wipe. All I did was to go to app settings and clear the cache of knox installer app. After the reboot knox updated successfuly.

[REQUEST]I9505 4.2.2 custom rom bootloader modified for downgrade from 4.4.2

Hii all, i have a I9505 where i must go back from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2. I know this is no simple cause bootloader is locked but i listen someone have modified the stock rom for fix the bootloader problem. Someone have this rom allredy cooked? I hope you can solve this

I would need this hack too. There is a mayor sound problem with bluetototh on 4.3 and 4.4.2.
On 4.2.2 there was no problem, so will be very good to possible downgrade

maybe if we are more people asking the same thing someone will care us

This will never happen. No developer is interested in downgrading their firmware to 4.2.2.
What you could try is to find an old custom 4.2.2. rom and flash that on your phone. Maybe it works and maybe it doesn't.

I found old 4.2.2 but the wifi isnt working. I am noob in modem versions

Try flashing the KT-SGS4 kernel kernel and let me know if that fixes the WiFi.

Thanks for reply. Will test tomorrow and let you know the info.

you downgraded to stock 4.2.2? Cause i get the bootloader error in odin everytime, i can only downgrade via the Aroma revolution HD custom rom by phyl recovery but when i check the firmware version it show me again the 4.4.2 version.

You can't downgrade stock 4.2.2. You can only try to downgrade with a custom rom.

right but modem-firmware version will remain that of 4.4 the same when downgrade to 4.2

Hi.
Finally managed to test. I installed prerooted stock 4.2.2 via custom recovery. Then installed mobile odin and via this installed official stock 4.2.2. After that installed kernel link from upper posts and wifi (and everything else) works perfect. The only thing i need to do is reset counter with triangle away. It does not restart counter. It goes ok with reboot and confirm resetting, but when i check the counter still persist custom binary. If anyone can suggest me what to it would be perfect.
Later tonight i will post links which firmwares i installed.
