Update I9505 to 4.3/4.4 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
Im on 4.2.2 with root (knox free) and would like to update my S4 I9505 to 4.3/4.4 and root without tripping knox, so that I can have 4G from my carrier.
Is it possible to do this. Would I need a knox free rom, because I had a S4 before which I updated and the wifi and carrier signals stopped working along with other stuff.
Thanks in advance

If you have a KnoxFree 4.2.2 then Flash a Custom recovery and then download any 4.4.2 or .4.3 Custom rom and flash it via recovery . then Update your Modem to 4.3/4.4.2 , to fix your Dropping signal issue ..If your Gonna flash let say 4.4.2 custom rom, then Flash only the zip rom and custom kernel iE Ktkernel or Jeboo kernel

Sorry im a noob at this stuff
I think I have CWM recovery already installed. So can I just flash a 4.3/4.4 rom for example the Cyanogenmod, then do I just update modem to 4.3/4.4.
Thanks

Also can I just not update modem to get LTE since my carrier only added it on 4.3rom.

If your Flashing a Cynogenmod then feel free to follow the Dev's Instruction. Because all you need to do is Flash the Rom and Update your Modem but not the LTE aka WifiFix aka NON-HLOS. and for 4.4.2 You need to flash a working kernel Jeboo/KT .

Is it really that easy to install custom roms?

Or am I missing something?
Flash custom recovery through Odin, flash custom rom?
No root beforehand, no unlocking the bootloader?
Thx :good:

Yeah international i9505. I know it's not simlocked, but I'm used to Nexus devices where you need to unlock the bootloader 1st (the same with Asus Transformer tabs) before one do anything.
So... I need to be rooted first before I can flash a custom recovery?
Yep you dhont need ulcoking bootloader just go t android devolpment and djembay thread you will find odin end rooted stock rom

No you do not need to be rooted before hand - flash custom recovery then the custom rom.

[Q] I need assistance please!

I want to update my i9505 to the latest android 4.3 through Odin but I don't want the new Knox bootloader, could someone please give me any instructions of how I could achieve this? I don't want to install the "custom" stock roms.
*EDIT*: Could someone also give me instructions on how to compile the edited firmware.
I tried to Google it but to no avail.
I shall be grateful to anyone who helps.

In order to remain on your old bootloader you will need to root. Any reason why you don't want to? Root, install a custom recovery then flash the pre rooted rom. They are stock based.

Thank you for your reply, I'm rooted with custom recovery. However I wish to create myself a Odin copy for emergency purposes, I currently have the official MGA firmware update for Odin. I want to create a Odin flash-able firmware update without the new bootloader,
EDIT: After going through the thread all the firmware files include the new know bootloader ;(
As far as I know you can't flash via odin. I suggest you flash the CWM version this has no bootloader. As your already rooted using the knox free cwm version is the safest bet at the moment.

No modem, you can install that separately via Odin as we can't flash modems using CWM. It contains stock rom and stock kernel.

Having trouble in installing recovery in i9505

I've a 4.3 stock rom installed from the box for my s4 let version . I want to install a custom rom. In order to do that I need to install a custom recovery that I'm unable to flash. It does flash but it does not boot into recovery. It only restarts my phone. Knox New security is messy. Any idea guys. Need help urgently?

No Don't think you get kernel with it just modem
But I may be wrong think kernels only come with the rom or flash on there own
Found the stock kernel... Well... Its something closest to the stock kernel you can get. Its totally stock with one little small change.
