Hi every body, i'm new on the forum so i don't really know where to put my topic so excuse me if i'm at the wrong place.
Here is my problem, i had a galaxy s2 i9100G and i used to put cyanogen on it and come back on android then cyanogen so i know a bit about flashing, root, rom stock, custom etc
Now i bought a galaxy s4 I9505 and when i decided to put cyanogen on it i used cf root for titanium backup and all the stuff, so my phone was rooted, but i noticed that on the start on the up left corner was written in red "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" and in yellow "set warranty bit: kernel ". I thought it was nothing so i continued, i wanted to test the new cyanogen mod installer so every thing worked fine and i had cyanogen. (Im sorry it's long but i prefer to explain everything from the begining).
Then when i wanted to return to android stock rom but when i start the flash with odin, 10 secondes after i click start, odin stops and don't respond, then i need to close it so the flash dont work. I searched every thing i could on internet about the knox system and every body seems to say that i can re flash a rom without problem, but i can't, i found on a forum that if i use triangle away then i can flash a rom but triangle away don't work it turn off my phone then nothing.
Please does any boby have an idea ?
Thank you in advance!
I Have I9505 with CM11
try to change the pc or the USB Cable
Also, make sure you are using one of your USB 2.0 ports when flashing.
I have an USB 3.0 on my laptop and whenever i tried to flash with the phone connected to that port, Odin would froze.
You need the right firmware for your bootloader. If you flash an older firmware than your last stock firmware was, it fails because you can not downgrade the bootloader. And triangle away doesn't work anyway on knox bootloaders. Means: if you now have knox on your phone and it's 0x1, what i think it is, there's no chance to reset it to 0x0. But you can flash the latest available firmware for your country, or, if you want, a custom ROM.

I tried on my new laptop (by the way it's also a samsung) who have a USB 3.0 port with the original USB cable, i also tried on my computer with a USB 2.0 and an old USB cable and i think also the new one. but i will try again and focus on that on that point . thank you

Thank you for your detailed answer. When i flashed cyanogen 11 i was on the last official firmware, and it's that firmware that i tried to flash via odin so i don't understand. Do i need to flash a different kernel or something like that? also for triangle away, it put a message on the start of the app that i need a official kernel (samsung) else it will bootloop or soft-brick. With cyanogen, wich kernel it is ? (i've seen on internet that CM11 works with triangle away.)
And what custom rom could advise me ? With the custom roms can have the air gesture and the stuff like that? Or do i need to be on an official firmware ?
Thank you again for your help.

CM 11 is under testing. Why u don't install the CM 10 stable version: HERE?. I dont understand the people asking for solutions that have problems in ROMs that are full of bugs. What did u expect in "nightly" custom roms?
My post wasn't about cm11 rom problems it was about flashing the stock rom, not because the cyanogen one is "full of bugs" wich is not really true. So do you have an idea for my real question?
Wich custom rom would you recommand me ? Is there anyone who have the air gesture and mouvement functions?

- About your first sentence in wikipedia: CyanogenMod tries to build a new, fresh "nightly" version every 24 hours for each of the devices it supports, which includes the most up-to-date changes to the source code, provided from all over the Internet. Of course, the nightly builds may also contain newly-introduced bugs, but hey- if you feel adventurous, you can help make CyanogenMod better by trying these experimental builds and reporting back bugs to the developers.
- Second sentence: Learn how use Triangle Away (more info: HERE) and flash again Stock ROM.
I know that nightly versions have some bugs but what i was trying to say is that they are not as much as you seems to say, and i like this rom and it worth one or two little bugs, any way you didn't answer my last question about custom roms, do you know some great one ?
For the video on triangle away i already searched for informations about it and it doesn't work, when i open triangle away uder current status there are the counter the binary and the device for him in the video but i have one the more : "System : modified" is it a problem ?
And also when i go si my status in the phone informations (in french) "Etat SELinux" is "Application" what does it mean ?
and is the kernel of cyanogen a stock (samsung) kernel like they say on the app ?
Any custom rom is great. Try it out for yourself which one suits you.

Hello Everyone,
I have few questions which I know might have been answered before (and I appologize for that) but after seeing different responses, I am a bit confused. So here are my questions:
1) I've updated my galaxy note with the official ICS via OTA but after updating it my phone has gone slower and laggy and facing the problem of fast battery draining. So I've decided to install a custom Rom. So please suggest which ROM is best which is stable, fast and have a good battery. I have downloaded Rocket Rom V7. How is it?
2) To Install this ROM I know I have to root my phone but I have read that a lot of ppl bricked their phone. So is it safe to root this phone and if yes what is the best procedure. I have seen posted in other threads that some kernels are not safe. I am posting my Kernel version can u please tell me if it is safe to root and if yes which is the best way.
Android Version: 4.0.3
Kernel Version: 3.0.15-N7000DDLP8-CL551076
Build Number: IML74K.DDLPA
Kindly suggest. Thanks in advance .
Can any one please help....
I suggest you to use LiquidSmooth 2.3. Brilliant rom, the best I have tried on Note. But notice it only got english language.
/CK
Yes! its totally safe when done in the right manner....download stock LP3 rom...GB..from stock roms thread...download pc odin and unlockroot software from unlockroot.com...
Now put your mobile to download mode..vol up then lock then menu...press all 3 until you see a android bot...click continue...
Make sure u hav kies installed in pc...open pc odin software...connect ur phone to the pc..click on PDA in pc odin and direct it to the LP3 rom you downloaded..and click on start...wait till everything is done..your phone restarts in GB mod...enable usb debugging and connect it again..open unlock root software and click root..
You have a perfectly rooted phone and safe too...now just follow the steps of RR...download RR and redpill recovery..go to CWM. .vol down and lock and menu...flash redpill..go to advanced and hit Reboot Recovery. .go to wipe menu and do all 3wipes...flash RR..
ENJOY:cyclops:
the videos in my sig may be of more help
hello take a while xda forum and the truth is that it has helped me a lot earlier with S IV and now with the note IV .
I have a problem and that the note 4 are no longer suits me as before, lag, some applications crash ... .
I got installed a custom kernel and custom rom i would like to know if it's possible to go back to official kernel and official rom.
I know how to do to roll back to official rom but with the kernel i search a bit and dind't found the kernel.
I know that 's a tall order but appreciate it if someone could lend a hand and tell me I have to do.
Thanks in advance and follow so that this community helps a lot to people who are not expert in android.
Are you sure that flashing official firmware is the right decision? Loosing root and all the good things that come with it?
Lags and all that sh^@+ happens.. but I'll tell you somenting: it happens even more with official firmwares..
What I suggest you is to flash another custom rom (one of the latest) and see how it goes.
Anyway, answering to your question about the kernel: flashing an official rom you'll flash the official kernel too.

Here is The Link of Pure Samsung Base Lollipop For SM-N910F But Remember to Update Bootloader & Modem According To ROM....
Above link Also Have Deodexed Rom(All things are Stock just Deodexed To work with Xposed & Selinux Status)
To Change the Selinux Status Use SELinux Mode Changer...
If you are Changing Selinux Status For Viper4Android Here You go Official ViPER4Android Audio Effects...
If you are on TW than Viper4Android on stock kernel
Regards your Headphone Volume you can Give A try To Poweramp Music Player if you Don't want To go Through all this Stuff...
You Can also try AOSP Roms Like Official Cm12.1 for 910F and 910G Even in Nightlies it's Stable Enough To Perform As Daily Driver (Xposed ,V4Android all will work)...

Hi there,
I'm using 4.4.2 wanamlite 2.9 rom on a i9505 with twrp 2.8.
Recently I encountered lot of problems like modem not working properly, rebooting, videos playing in slowmo, no sound etc... weird stuff...
I'm convinced to upgrade to (lets say) marshmallow (any custom rom) but I dunno how to do it properly. So here my questions:
- should I flash the stock rom and start again with root / custom rom etc? Or...
- should I upgrade with odin to stock modem and bootloader first, and after that install a custom rom via twrp? Which way is the correct one?
Btw. Should I upgrade to lolli, marsh or 7.x? Dunno whats better. I'm using touchwiz with xposed framework. I dont need tw but i find xposed very helpful. Any advice or link to guides?
Thanx
Upgrade the individual components. In your case, that means recovery, bootloader, and modem via Odin. Your copy of TWRP is ancient and the newer versions of Android need a newer version of TWRP to properly flash them. Once you've upgraded the components, download any Android 6.x ROM for your device - since you want Xposed - and flash it via TWRP. Android 7.x ROMs are available for your device, but Xposed does not work on them, and I don't expect it to work any time soon.

Thanx Stephron.
Yesterday I updated via .img the recovery (TWRP 3.2).
Now I'll look for bootloader and modem. Should I use the stock ones or are on xda some threads with better modems and bootloaders?
I think I'm going for resurrection remix or for some aosp. Any experience?
Best and happy new year .

Hi,
It looks like you have SM-G900F S5 model (Qualcomm Snapdragon / klte) with latest Polish unbranded android 6.0.1 on it.
I doubt if you are ready for flashing any custom staff to your phone as you even can't identify a proper custom recovery ....
Saying: "I'm a noob" doesn't help. Before flashing anything on my phone I was reading a lot in order to understand what I was going to do so I encourage you to do the same.
1. Before flashing anything you need to understand what is Samsung KNOX (in general, after flashing anything custom like recovery, kernel etc your KNOX flag will be triggered so if you have valid Samsung guarantee - it will be lost) - google it and read more. If you don't like this situation - stop here, otherwise go to point no 2;
2. In order to flash a custom recovery for the first time you need to flash .tar version of it via odin pc app - latest version take from here:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s5/SM-G900F/XEO/download/G900FXXS1CQD1/130602/
(Look for headline: "Instructions")
Find out more how to flash with odin -> google it and read;
3. Your custom recovery version you can find here (I recommend TWRP):
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/klte/ (use the first file with .tar extension)
Read before about "TWRP odin install method" here:
https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys5qualcomm.html
Now you are good to go for custom recovery flashing;
4. When you already have TWRP installed look for a custom Rom of your choice.
You need to decide by your own what you expect from your new rom. Look here for some custom roms and read their descriptions in rom threads:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5 -> look for roms compatible with your phone model inside following subforums: S5 Development (Snapdragon), S5 Original Development or S5 Unified Development.
When you finally choose the rom, install it following installation instructions from the particular rom's thread.
Good luck.
Hi Many40!
Thank you for your reply!
I very much apreciate your tutorial (it's almost impossible to screw up). Will give it a go!
Once again, thanks!!
Hello.
First I'd like to say that i haven't ever tried anything like rooting my phone or custom roms so that you know what you're dealing with
Lately I've been bored with my s8 plus(SM-G955F). Was even considering buying a different phone but then i remembered reading about rooting and custom roms so i thought i might give it a try.
I've been reading a bit about rooting and roms but all the information and methods can be a little overwhelming for someone like me who doesn't really know what he's doing. Basically i need help.
While looking for custom rom i'd like to try i settled on renovate ice and i have some questions.
Do i need to root before flashing a custom rom or does the rom come rooted already?
From what i understand i have to start with installing TWRP with odin but what then? root or rom?
Basically if anyone would be kind enough to provide some links with steps i need to take to install that rom and root my device and not mess it up i'd be grateful.
In case you need it I'm on the latest OTA i've received.
build number: R16NW.G955FXXU1CRD7

Hello there , you do not need to root your to flash a custom rom . All you need is to backup your data for you own safety and flash TWRP recovery through Odin probram . Renovate ice is most famous and stable rom you can try . It has same UI as the stock rom . Little changes only you might wont see me . If you want to change UI you should for another rom . Also root comes with the rom inbuild, specificaly renovate ice has two options to chose, magisk or supersu . Personally i prefer Magisk before through this app ' you can' modify your system, its like xposed framework.

So I installed TWRP like in the video.
Everything seemed to work i had a clean install of stock ore with twrp. When i tried to boot into twrp i had the "only official binaries" bootloop. So i flashed a bootloader and i was stuck on galaxy s8+ screen. Went into download mode to flash stock firmware but can't do anything. Stuck in download mode and can't flash anything now... How do i get out of it?
Edit:
Ok. Found a way to flash the bootloader. now I'm back to "only official binaries" bootloop.
Edit 2:
Ok managed to get everything to work. At least it appears so for now.
Had to flash nougat firmware then installed twrp, rom and root and it worked.
I thought something went wrong because it was very laggy but after rebooting it seems okay. We'll see how it goes from here.
Gonna google it and try to fix it but if anyone has any ideas i'd be grateful
