Hi, since the end of AdHell3 (because of Knox licenses) I've decided to update to the latest rootable stock firmware... Which should I install & root please ?

Remember once u install june or july update u can't downgrade anymore to earlier pie or oreo builds.
Thx for your reply but i know Since I'm satisfied with Android 9, it's not a problem (about 48h of battery life with the stock rom installed).
But no one can answer to my question please ? A major part of this forum is dedicated to root and no one can answer me ?
no answer so I will root the older one.... Useless post, last time I'm asking help here
I think you can root all

Another one to suggest me ?
DON'T FLASH the firmware G950FXXU5DSFB if you want to install TWRP, it seems it's not compatible with this version.
I tried to flash it on my phone and now the recovery partition is buged.
EDIT : I was wrong. After reboot, the system needed to install some updates (maybe because of the upgrade of the bootloader - v4 to v5) that's why I could not flash TWRP. After a full boot (I've done the initial setup) and then a reboot, I was able to flash recovery.

What happend?
Make sure u do all the steps correctly or else won't work .
I can confirm because I've tested to flash and root all these firmwares : it works for all of them. Now I'm searching if it is TWRP or DM-verity or RMM-state which modifies and pollutes the settings menu by adding some useless entries... (see the screenshots)

Flashing the stock firmware is easy and it fixes all ur issues 98% of times (depends if u wipe or not)
you can get your firmware files from
fw.updato.com(works really fast but sometimes is down
or
http://sammobile.com(is always up but y need an account and its slow)
And odin 3 the software needed to reflash stock firmware y can get it from here
Keep in mind that a full wipe from the recovery is recomended to solve all 100% of issues but there is a chance your issue could be fixed without a wipe.
Also you can flash the firmware from any country you like doesnt matter where ur from.
Hope this helped
So guys I have flashed TWRP on my Grand Prime Plus through Odin. And now I need to find a stock ROM for my phone.
My question is:
Does the base version (and build version as well) of the ROM you're downloading need to be same to what it used to be before??

Can someone tell me if the base version and the Build Number needs to be same for downloading a new ROM or not??
And where can I find the best ROM for my phone??
Edit: And does the region of the ROM you're about to download needs to be the same as the region you're living at? Does it make any different?
Also, how do I make a backup for the already installed OS? What do MUST make backup of out of:
Boot
Recovery
EFS
Cache
System
Data
Misc
Modem
System Image
I don't really care about losing data, I just don't want to lose my previous already installed OS while trying to flash a new stock ROM. So what do I make backup of out of the aforementioned?
Thanks.
Where is stock frimware link?
Hi all
I’m very new to the custom roms world (I’ve just got an S4 I9505 see specs below) and i would gladly appreciate your advices. Feel free to share any advice.
I am starring at the Kitkat Google Play Edition JFLTE-GPE by Danvdh (last update 28/01/2018).
Could you advice me 3 very battery friendly roms ?
Maybe Official Lineage OS 14.1 (nightly 7.1.2) as you told me stylemessiah ; JDCteam Optimized Lineage OS 13 (stable 6.0.1) ; ... ? I read also about MIUI.
Many thanks for your help.
ps: I’m French (sorry for my bad english) using the “Free Mobile” Carrier which needs XEF CSC (i mean i prefer english language rather than french, but i need to use the “Free Mobile” Carrier).
Thanks to PhoneInfo :

-According to zetcamp (thank you) I don't need to upgrade or downgrade my current I9505XXUHPK2 Bootloader and I9505XXUHPK2 baseband for this rom.
Which are the latest bootloader and modem for my XEF i9505: I9505XXUPQG1 ?

Edit 1: Thank you audit13 for your feedback. I have successfully flashed TWRP twrp-3.1.1-0-jfltexx.img.tar with Odin v3.13.1. Then i have backuped my stock rom (EFS partition included), just in case
I would like first to do a full backup of my phone (included the EFS partition which stores the IMEI numbers and data)
Could please you tell me :
-Which is the latest TWRP version compatible with my current I9505XUHPK2 bootloader and I9505XUHPK2 baseband ? is the 3.2.1-0 ok ?
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/
-Which Odin version should i use to flash this TWRP ? Is the lastest one v3.13.1 compatible ?
TWRP is not dependent on the bootloader version. I recommend always running the phone with the latest bootloader and modem and I believe PK2 is the latest.
You can use Odin version 3.07 or newer to flash TWRP.
A battery-friendly ROM is going to be stock. There may be others but I stuck with a de-bloated stock ROM for my s4.
Ive tried GPE ROM's in the past (maybe not that exact one, it was ages ago) and found issues, though they may have been fixed by now...
Personally these days i wouldn't go less than a Nougat (Android 7) ROM (not sure why youre wanting to downgrade to KitKat - much better fucntionality and app choices in your current ROM, and better again in later ROM's), at very least the stock official LineageOS 14.1 (updated nightly) on an S4, so much better than any stock ROM, no bloat for a start. Though going with a stock ROM, if its rooted you can remove the bloat at least.....
The latest modem&bootloader is technically XXUHQC1, though i have tested it for months, i eventually went back to XXUHPK2, so i would stick with that...
Note: You can always choose to upgrade/downgrade the modem&bootloader independently of the ROM (im using PK2 with Oreo (Android 8.1), the best source, in case you ever feel like trying an alternate, they are here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/ref-galaxy-s4-i9505-modems-bootloaders-t3315987 Worth sticking in your bookmarks
Note 2: They often hide some previous versions under the Click To Show Content buttons....
Hi Stylemessiah.
Ok, so for the modem and the bootloader i'm already ready to go. Nice
Could you advice me 3 very battery friendly roms ?
Maybe Official Lineage OS 14.1 (nightly 7.1.2) as you told me ; JDCteam Optimized Lineage OS 13 (stable 6.0.1) ; ...
I was hoping that because KitKat is lightweight, With 2GB of RAM it could be responsive and with a good battery life. I know that kitkat is kind of security updates outdated...
I would like to use Opera Mini, Waze, and during hiking the GPS and the Camera (no video recording). But my main usage will be 2G idle during day, and airplane mode during night. Few sms, no calls (and no games by the way, so performance or costumization doesn't matter for me).
In the old times, with my S1 i9000 i could last 6days+ with a single charge (without using much the phone indeed ...)
Thanks

so no matter which firmware version youre in custom or stock is it safe to flash modem? my brother handed me an s4 9505 16gb variant, i manage to flash imperium from a dirty flash everything seems work until i decided to clear data then clean install everything and i have no signal right after boot no imei either
its my fault ive deleted my twrp back up
I just updated my Tab 10.1 to 8.1 the other day and I would like to root it. So i have gone into the Software information and under Build Number it has M1AJQ.T580UEU4CRK5. I have gone over to sammobile and gotten the T580UEU4CRK5_T580XAR4CRK7_XAR file.
And i was just wondering if that is the right one, if it is which version of TWRP should i use to flash it.
Hello,
Follow this link and jump to the page 57: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...overy-official-twrp-gtaxlwifi-galaxy-t3437666
And for TWRP i use that : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78148267&postcount=170
I use this topic to looking/request a patched boot for build T580XXU4CRK5. Thanks
Is possible to use the previous build files patched by Ashyx ??

Hi,
indeed that is correct too but when I installing this/the A version I root it immediately my meizu device to remove all those chinese apk's stuff etc, so for this reason I could not got a newer fw update.
you must not root it your meizu device to get a newer fw (A) update if you wish ofcourse, but unfortunately with such a chinese device and its language and its unneeded apk's stuff a root is a must.. not everyone uses the english as first language.
