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.

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

Why you wouldn't use the one from Hong Kong I don't know (since yours was originally from HK)... but maybe the rom you downloaded is corrupt or not fully downloaded.
Did you check md5? Try to download it again.. or I would suggest you go to sammobile.com and get official HK lollipop version.

True they are bad with software updates, but an official AODService by Samsung app was uploaded on Samfirmware website, and it said compatible with S7 & S6 specifically, leading us to believe that AOD is in the works for the S6, considering the new Galaxy A8 has the same chipset as our S6 but also has AOD.

yes i know that but if we think logical it has never been done yet that samsung is releasing new featers of one newer model to the previous model or am i wrong? and i still cant understand samsung they can give the a8 (midrange) the features of the s7 but not the flagship s6
i'm really fed up with samsung

The Russian build of G920FXXU4DPJN fails after applying hidden.img. Using an older version now instead as Russian seems to be the only one with 2016-11-01 security updates.

You mean firmware flashing via Odin will fail about half way?won't that hard brick the device?

Yes, flashing the Russian build via Odin fails at ~90%, on hidden.img. I was afraid it would brick the device, but it didn't. I used flashed another build over the existing one, it worked just fine.

Extract hidden.img and rename it to hidden.img.tar, then flash with AP option in Odin.
