Letter I sent to Samsung - of course not helped me:
Hello,
Yesterday was the worst day for me.
i purchased a Samsung galaxy S4 !9505 from i private store.
when i loaded the device for the first time, i got a push update to MH8 (with the knox)
i didn't know whats ahead of me...
yesterday i tried to upgrade the version to a rooted one.
and suddenly, the wifi and the sound in the device stopped working, plus i had problems with incoming/outgoing calls.
finally, i could solve the problem with a modded version of MH8 Pre-rooted, truthfully i don't care about the root anyway.
i just wanted to check what is what, because i'm new to this whole thing.
but now, every time i boot my device, i'm afraid something will happen to it.
besides that, i understand that i can't upgrade any future version anymore, which means for me that my device is half dead already.
i'm asking you, with kind regards, help me restore my phone to its original form, so i could enjoy your updates, and google's as well
my phone is in "knox warrany void: 0x1" state as for now.

There has been a solution to the problem?
Or I got stuck and I can't upgrade?
I'm from Israel, so if you need to flash a modem or something, just so you know
Sorry my english!
Thank you!
somebody please?
Hello,
There are serveral threads about this point, please read around...
You can upgrade to new roms with the ODIN/flashable roms available, or you can set the device status to "official" to receive OTA updates.
The only thing you can't change is the knox 0x01 which is suspected to be an eFuse and therefore non-reversible (nothing 100% confirmed so far)
for questions on how to flash each thing (ODIN packages recovery flashable zips and so on) refer to the specific thread
good luck

If I as usual I upgrade to version 4.3 via Odin official from sammobile (when it is released), the wifi and sound work properly?
And how do I set the device status to "official" to receive OTA updates on my current version?
Thank you!
please?

Hi mate - As it is for know your KNOX warrenty is void....What this means is you will not be able to use the KNOX software/locker/container (whatever you wanna call it).........for the moment this is indeffinate until one of the brilliant minds in xda figures out a way to re-set it (not gonna be easy or anytime soon).....However, your device is not lost.....all you need to do if flash any stock firmware that has the new KNOX bootloader via odin. You can find stock firmware ( you just need to look for it )...Sammobile would be a good place to start maybe? Once you have loaded the firmware you should be able to recieve OTA updates but WILL NOT be able to use KNOX stuff.
Hope this clears some stuff up for you!
EDIT - Even if you have issues via OTA you can always flash the latest firmware via odin!

Yes you can install custom roms - but when you have a custom ROM then you are very unlikely to get OTA updates....which is why odin is a great tool!
I suggest you do ALOT more reading up on this mate.....people will only help so much....This is why xda is what it is....a place for people to learn and READ READ READ

I love this forum! I just do not seem much
Before I flash the MH8 Pre-rooted, i flash customs rom (almost everyone), and all was sound and Wifi, know why?
That's why I'm asking and I'm not sure.
For example, I flash the rom costum MH8, and worked (problems Sound-WIFI), and Pre-Rooted worked, why is that?
Thank you!

Could have been kernel related....I am not entirely sure....but this is wavering from your initial opening post - Knox Problem - I Can't upgrade rom - which has been answered.......I would suggest sticking to what you know works and as I said READ ALOT because you are not the only person who has had wifi and sound issues:good:......I believe your initial issue has been answered as much as it can now. Good luck in you search for answers:fingers-crossed:
Last one from me....have you also tried to flash a new modem to fix wifi???? Try looking HERE also!
Rom and LTE modem should be the same build number. GSM modem is region dependent and can be anything you like.

One bit of advice... please work on your English sentence structure (yes it is very bad )
It is an annoying challenge to understand you without repeatedly rereading what your wrote.
Now unto more important things:
1. Please fix your initial problem by returning to stock before you ask more questions.
2. Let us know if everything is working on stock and your device is back to stock form and function.
3. Read the howto documents on this site before you proceed to ask any further questions related to rooting or rom flashing.

Hey,
I was flashing me S3 today I did everything correctly, but when I finally got to the home screen I noticed a caution circle where my signal should be, I thought it was just a glitch but when I reset my phone a few times saw it was there permanently.
Here what I mean http://gyazo.com/f64104214e8eb8a044f726317225f322
I look around online before coming here and most required dailing a number but I couldn't do any of that.
Have I really messed up my phone or is this a easy(ish)
I am now downloading the stock samsung 4.1.2 as I have read flashing the stock rom can sometimes work.

How do I know if my phone is jlfte or jlftexx?
I have a:
Galaxy S4 i9505 16gb
Baseband: I9505XXUFNC4
Android: AOSB 4.4.2 (I have flashed the jlfte version but have problem with the camera)
up!
Jflte is the modelnumber for the galaxy s4. Jfltexx is the International model of the galaxy s4.
Different carriers have different modelnumbers because of their lte frequencies. All of them have the Snapdragon 600. If you no carrier restricted phone then you have the jfltexx
Alternativly you could dial *1234#
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9505 mit Tapatalk
And a jflte ROM is for every snapdragon S4. So for the jflteatt, jfltevww, jfltetmo and of course jfltexx. It's called a unified build. The jfltexx is just the i9505. So the device you own. You can flash jfltexx ROMs and jflte ROMs. They both should work.
Me Gusta!
@Me Gusta and @benni2903 thanks guys!

I never changed the ROM, I'm using the original. This is the first time i'm trying to change de ROM.
I installed Root from JflteXX and it worked. But i know that i can brick my mobile if i install the wrong version of TWRP.

Yeah, im 99.9% sure you've got a jfltexx. The VJ is just your modem. Just go ahead and flash jfltexx twrp.
Also, the i9505 is nearly, I repeat, nearly unbrickable. Almost everything can be fixed by using Odin.

What does this mean ? Does this mean 5.1.1 is available for our sprint phones
No just to get us all ready for it
This is 5.0.1 and it allows us that we're stuck on OE1 to upgrade to the latest firmware

I was on Rooted OB7, Kies told me OF5 was latest and updated me about 10 minutes ago. It took a long time to optimize the apps, (It did it 4 times!) and restarted at least 4 times after update. Things seem to be settling down now. The phone kept all my data, so if you can update using Kies you probably won't have to restore a backup. Also, the phone got real hot during the optimizing, you might want to take it out of any case you are using to keep it from overheating.

Does the TAR delete everything off your phone?
So I had a collasal messup on my T280. I accidentally soft bricked it, and am in need of the Firmware. Asking the live help brought up absolutely no help.
So, does anyone have it? I've tried looking and so far have been unable to find it.
