I decided to make this post to help people bring life back to the I9505X live demo unit. I know how conflicting some some sites are so I just wanted to write something all can follow step for step. Hope it helps like it helped me
1 Download rom from www.sammobile.com
2 Once file is downloaded you will have something looking like this I9505XXUAMDM_I9505OXXAMDB_BTU.zip (this is one i used) http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/?page=1&model=GT-I9505&pcode=0#firmware
3 Extract the zip file
4 You will now have somthing like this I9505XXUAMDM_I9505OXXAMDB_I9505XXUAMDM_HOME.tar.md5
5 Rename file to samrom.tar
6 Place this file on your desktop (this will be the tar file we want to edit)
7 Download cygwin from here http://cygwin.com/setup.exe and install
8 Move the tar file to C:\cygwin\home
10 Open cygwin
11 We need to delete some files from the tar file. to do so i will list the commands below and files that need deleting. after typing each line command please wait while the action completes as it will look like its doing nothing. commands as follows
$ tar --delete --file=samrom.tar NON-HLOS.bin
$ tar --delete --file=samrom.tar modem.bin
12 Once the last command is done just close cygwin (depending on the rom you download there maybe other files that need deleting)
the files remaining should be
boot.img
cache.img.ext4
hidden.img.ext4
recovery.img
system.img.ext4
(you can check this by opening the samrom.tar file with winrar)
13 Download odin and install from http://www.android.gs/download-odin-3-07/
14 Make sure samsung drivers are installed if they are not download em from http://www.mediafire.com/download/d2h54mx7kt4uupt/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones(3).exe
15 Open odin and connect your S4
16 Click on PDA and place the samrom.tar file in there and click start (it will flash)
17 after it has flashed install TWRP and install adams kernel explained here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256252&page=14
i hope this helps people who are having trouble installing roms on there S4 live demo unit. if you would like to know anything or having trouble message me im happy to try help.

same problem here.....seems like the command is not written in the right way
EDIT: I noticedd that when you start the program, it creates a folder inside 'cygwin-home' which is your user name and you have to place the samrom.tar in there in order to delete the two files!
btw the command lines are correct! cheers!!

Well, based on the stock ROM I downloaded it (I9505XXUAMDM_I9505OXXAMDB_I9505XXUAMDM_HOME.tar.md5),I deleted the the files sirus2012 was referring to and I am stuck at a point were the Odin says fail while flashing the ROM....
Trying to figure out if I need to delete another more file from the .TAR
After the FAIL status in Odin, I disconnected the phone, removed battery and placed it again and I had an error saying 'Firmware needs to be recovered via Kies'
I, once then, flashed again the stock ROM(without the deleted files) and noticed there was no WiFi....
So I either have a phone with no WIFI, or an error and phone can't boot
Hope I can find a way out of this!

Don't give up on that.....I think there will be a solution sooner or later....(I'll try to find it asap) because this 'phone' is really good
Or it could be something really small that we can't see and do it wrong.

Well I think I figured it out with my S4 demo unit to make WiFi work.
All the steps were followed BUT...
I DIDN'T delete the two files(modem and NON-hlos) and continued with the procedure
The most important step was .17 which redirects you to another thread about TWRP and Adams Kernel...
Following the steps there where enough to solve my issue.
And now my WiFi works pretty good(so far so good at least for the last 2-3 hours )
Let me know if it worked for you too!
Cheers!
Hey

Hi
if you have working phone,You can read dump from her and write to bricked device with this command(root required):::
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/unbrick.bin bs=1024 count=?
*** "?" mean any size you want..usually 256mb is enough ...so "Count is 262144"
--
But if you don't have working device,Please contact me via ICQ .... I have my own dump ...but for some reason i can't upload in any where,just can upload directly into your pc

There are three different cyanogenmod 12 (lollipop) ROMs listed in the development section compatible with the t530nu which are all better than stock anyway. I have the exact same model as you and have been on lollipop for months now and loving it
i understand that, i love and encourage CM and AOSP roms i have used them quite offen however i prefer stock because stock roms utilize the devices features and because there are so many devices the devs dont have time to port stock based apps in there modifications so there for i use stock roms for a daily driver. but i would always support custom roms to anyone as did you. thanks for the reply, would really like to get a stock based lp on the device.

^^what he said.
I've been checking the forums throughout the day since the LP update came out hoping that someone ported it to the T530NU. Who knows when the official one will come out since the LP update for the T530 has only been released in Spain so far. I doubt it will be released for the T530NU until the update for the T530 is released in more regions.

I imagine it's possible to port the official update, here are my thoughts. Take the LP Odin file (the tar file) and open the tar.md5 file in winrar or 7zip. Extract all the files inside (system.img, boot.img, the modem.bin and everything) and make it into an update zip, (with updater-script and everything) but tailor it to be flashable with FlashFire. No idea if it'll work but that's what I'd try if I preferred touchwiz over cyanogenmod.
Edit: On the files you want to pull, I don't think you want to use cache.img or hidden.img, but yeah everything else.

T, hey hey, you only want the system.img and the boot.img, the issue though is the kernel, my attempts at getting the firmware running "as-is"
fail, [kernel] while i can access through adb i couldn't get a read on logcat even when invoking with full/absolute path
/system/bin/logcat
the sepolicy is covering adb and as i'm learning , sometimes permission denied actually means no such file or directory
and/or the opposite :silly: gotta love android.

Nah you don't want to try this with Odin it verifies what device you have. I say try flashfire instead (chainfire even said FF is intended to replace mobile Odin as well as safestrap) but we have to figure something out for the kernel (boot.img).
@moonbutt74 I was able to flash t530/1 ROMs before anyone started developing NU specific custom kernels, is it not working here because it's an official build or something? Sorry for my frustratingly persistent dearth of knowledge.

L,
hi, this step carries risk, make a backup !!
what you need, from the full firmware img extract system.img and boot.img
pack system.img for odin flash, this is the tricky part, it's one of the following
A- rename system.img.ext4 to system.img
--- then in linux/cygwin cd to the directory where system.img is located
--- run tar as follows
--- tar -H ustar -c system.img > system.img.tar
--- md5sum -t system.img.tar >> system.img.tar
--- mv system.img.tar system.img.tar.md5
or
B- don't rename system.img.ext4 and run again in linux/cygwin
--- tar -H ustar -c system.img.ext4 > system.img.ext4.tar
--- md5sum -t system.img.ext4.tar >> system.img.ext4.tar
--- mv system.img.ext4.tar system.img.ext4.tar.md5
then attempt attempt odin flash, NOT MOBILE ODIN
do the same for boot.img

L,
hi, this step carries risk, make a backup !!
what you need, from the full firmware img extract system.img and boot.img
pack system.img for odin flash, this is the tricky part, it's one of the following
A- rename system.img.ext4 to system.img
--- then in linux/cygwin cd to the directory where system.img is located
--- run tar as follows
--- tar -H ustar -c system.img > system.img.tar
--- md5sum -t system.img.tar >> system.img.tar
--- mv system.img.tar system.img.tar.md5
or
B- don't rename system.img.ext4 and run again in linux/cygwin
--- tar -H ustar -c system.img.ext4 > system.img.ext4.tar
--- md5sum -t system.img.ext4.tar >> system.img.ext4.tar
--- mv system.img.ext4.tar system.img.ext4.tar.md5
then attempt attempt odin flash, NOT MOBILE ODIN
do the same for boot.img

Here
But try what moonbutt74 is saying first, he's smarter than I. I'm just thinking aloud about all the (probably almost certainly stupid) stuff I'm going to try to get this working
T,
i have a though about incorrect firmware linking in boot.img and /system/etc scripts in the release
to mount and explore the system.img goto directory where extracted image is located and run
simg2img system.img.ext4 system.img
when thats done
mkdir system
mount -o rw -t ext4 system.img system
for the boot img goto @osm0sis 's AIK thread and get the linux package
use that toolkit to unpack the boot.img and check it out, you'll generate two directories after img unpacking,
ramdisk and split-image in split-image directory you will find the kernel and dtb imgs
m
yeah the link on google play is dead lol
nevermind i got it thanks

Unfortunately I couldn't find the pit file, but still there's a way. If someone has a same device as of urs and also rooted, then u can tell him to install android terminal and busybox. Then tell him to type this in terminal:
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=580 skip=2176
This will extract the pit file from the ROM and will be placed in the internal.
U can post this thing in ur device forum, so someone could help u to give the pit file.???
