[Q] i9505 4.4.2 Constantly Soft Rebooting. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone, sorry if this is in the wrong place or something, i'm pretty new around here.
Anyway, i have a S4 i9505, rooted and with Philz touch recovery, however, lately it's been constantly soft rebooting whenever it feels like. It is never during anyhting in particular and often it is running perfectly smoothly up to the point where it crashes. At first i thought it might've been a problem with an xposed module or something, however, after disabling them all I no longer think it is.
When the crashing started to happen i was running this firmware:
Model: GT-I9505

I have busy box, and xposed, and very few other apps. If anyone has any ideas of what could be doing this, or knows if is there is a way for me to view logs that could tell me, then any help would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou

[Q] [i9506] WiFi being blocked by device security.

So here's basically everything that's happened so far :
I rooted my i9506 using this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529064
then I tried to disable softkeys via build.prop by adding the line "qemu.hw.menukeys=0" and I rebooted. It never booted, so I decided to reflash the stock ROM, and flashed a different region stock ROM than it originally shipped with, via ODIN.
Original ROM info :
Model: GT-I9506
Model name: GALAXY S4 LTE-A
Country: Czech Republic (Vodafone)
Version: Android 4.3

What I flashed :
Model: GT-I9506
Model name: GALAXY S4 LTE-A
Country: Australia (Telstra)
Version: Android 4.3
Changelist: 2210443

Product Code: TEL
PDA: I9506XXUBNC1
CSC: I9506TELBNC2
MODEM: I9506XXUBNC1
And it gave me an error saying that the ext4 was invalid or something like that, so I downloaded the original ROM and flashed that.
This time, it worked. But, the problem is, I'm unable to turn on WiFi. It keeps saying "Security Notice: Your device's security has blocked an action that is not permitted, No further action is required." when I try turning it on.
It seems that its from KNOX Notification Manager. This KNOX is really getting on my nerves, it's so annoying. And I wasn't aware of the KNOX flag either, and now I don't know what to do about that either.
How do I fix this?
Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Yeah, I actually bit the bullet and just flashed it. My real concern was that it had the initial 442 release issues, but Ive been running it alittle while as I set it up and it seems nice and smooth, but being from UK I also flashed the XXUFNB9 UK Modem as well and all seems fine.
Your right friend, There are no differences apart from it seeming a little smoother, a few Icon changes and updated apps and some God awful bloatware crap that you can thankfully uninstall without being rooted.
Ill report back in a few days on Battery life and reception once modem settles.
cheers
Feels smooth yes, except messaging and hangouts, which stutter a lot on opening/using/closing.
Does this rom contain the BTU csc like the previous one?
Downloaded and flashed last night, all in all i cannot see any visible difference versus GNE8 (last official build), but using it, it does seems a tad quicker, but the main difference is my battery life is way better.
I always wipe data/cache an cycle the battery but all the latest builds over the last few months have been worse on battery life (though others do not have this issue), but for me since taking off charge this morning, 5hrs later only a 7% drop, versus 20% before.
Are you guys updating using Odin or OTA? It still hasn't hit OTA as far as I can see?

[Q] Which KitKat after a move?

I've got the following identifiers for my phone:
AP: I9505XXUEND1
CP: I9505XXUEND1
CSC: I9505TELENC1
I've moved from Australia (Telstra) to the US (AT&T). I'm on Jellybean, and rooted so that I could do backups with Titanium Backup. I've started to have stability issues where SystemUI crashes occasionally, and at a rate of about once daily. I haven't been able to identify the cause of the problem. Seems like aLogger only shows me logs when I start it up, which I usually only do after a crash.
I'm considering making a move to KitKat. However, I'm not even sure if there is an upgrade out there for me. I don't see one for either Australia or US. Anyone know if there's an appropriate one for me? And while I'm at it, should I consider changing my baseband from the Telstra one to an AT&T one?
Thanks for your advice.

That is the latest firmware for the I9505 ....BUT is not possible to root with towelroot to avoid knox warranty bit tripping ( you have to re root after flashing with odin)
you could flash something a little bit older like , so you can root

Regarding the frequencies not 100% sure , AT&T has some frequencies that the I9505 does not work with so it may depends on the specific frequency in where you are at check this:

Hi buddy,
Thanks a lot for this wonderful work.
This is an awesome ROM and working flawless.
I am having one problem but not sure if it's a real bug or only my problem.
I have flashed V7.0 with full wipe on my Note 3 International (N9005), everything working great but whenever I am calling or receiving any call, The incoming voice volume is very less (even though I have made the volume control full).. It's very hard to understand if I am travelling or the person on other side is speaking gently.
any fix for this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Callprabs
