hello guys, i bought a galaxy s4 BE and i am first owner and opened seal myself, evrything is black and ahve the black back faux leather battery cover like the note 3. so the thing is it booted to regular s4 firmware without any new boot sound, wallpapers of blackedition nor the ringtones. it made an update to 4.4.2 so i left it to find also no new stuff, so i downloaded this indian black edition firmware as i cant roll back to 4.3 anymore and flashed it only to find the same stuff again, did a factory reset and cleared cache, all the same.
i used the android kitchen to extract system.img and look into it i found that it was just normal firmware from inside without and new wallpapers or ringotens
can anybody provide some help or advice please? how come the firmware that has blackedition on it and i9500Y in the CSC doesnt have the BE stuff, im really annoyed.

It's like android 4.4.2 or 4.3. Nothing special and no s5 features.

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?

When I try to downgrade using ODIN and sammobile Firmware, the device wont launch anymore - boot loop.
I have the proper files (incl. PIT, CSC, MODEM, etc.) of the desired version officially and directly from Samsung for my region.
When I try to downgrade using ODIN and official Samsung Firmware, the device is very laggy, does not recognize my SIM Card and the Basebandversion and IMEI is 'Unknown'.
Is this possible at all? The phone is not yet rooted or altered in any way.
Thanks
Hey folks!
Been away for a while. Helping a friend revert from lollipop to kit kat.
What was the last version number before lollipop?
I am looking at this thread for files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784880
And since I don't own the phone, I don't know what version I need.
Thanks!
