QUOTE(joeboto @ Oct 21 2013, 08:50 PM) So that means s4 3g is knox free? Yey now i can flash cm \○/ Dunno...but any rooting or custom flashing seems still increase the binary counter and change the official status. And TriangleAway not working for the 3G version. Just ready a full stock M'sian firmware standby...incase you need to go to service centre...lolz |

QUOTE(sebastianX11 @ Oct 23 2013, 09:43 AM) hi bro it is 9505 lte 32gb selinux status is permissive (check from about device, or do i check from other place) fw: JDQ39.I9505XXUBMG5  need root to block ads! that is the core reason for me to root  Excellent...your firmware are free from active Knox and good for rooting. Do not do any OTA as your next firmware gonna be DMH6 which is Knox activated and new bootloader that make rooting pain in the a$$...lolz For rooting...you can use Chainfire CF-Autoroot from the link below http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219803This post has been edited by waveweaver: Oct 23 2013, 09:55 AM |

QUOTE(sebastianX11 @ Oct 23 2013, 10:09 AM) rooting i am quite familiar just that i dun have time to read up knox and selinux thingy...  thanks again! I see..BMG5 is the last M'sian firmware with Knox free old bootloader...so..keep it. If you wanna upgrade or flash any custom rom...just find one that built without any bootloader on it. |

QUOTE(sebastianX11 @ Oct 23 2013, 10:28 AM) also how do i know the built is with bootloader? i usually flash wanam on s3 as it it more stable and fast is it the same on s4 rom? that said, means should i keep a copy of bmg5 from sammobile Some custom rom will state got old or no bootloader...or new bootloader. If it not stated...look at the rom built based firmware..anything newer than BMG (exp..DMH..EMJ) have new bootloader. Flashing that will activated your Knox and you need to be very careful...not to tripping it. IF your Knox activated. .it will have Knox Warranty Void 0x0. Any rooting..flashing will trigger it to 0x1 and void your warranty. Try to downgrade your firmware from Knox bootloader firmware to non-Knox bootloader firmware via Odin will simply fail...and trigger your flag to 0x1. |

QUOTE(droidtrix @ Oct 23 2013, 11:39 AM) Thinking twice whether want to get this S4 LTE device as now the they have some sort of monitoring system for warranty purpose.. If you're interested on buying S4...better buy it now as it still have old firmware right out from the box..which still give you some choices for rooting and flashing. Later on..who knows. Maybe it will comes with a new firmware that already have Knox activated and SELinux status enforcing right out from the box..like Note3. By then..there's no point buying S4 anymore. |

QUOTE(romeo57 @ Oct 23 2013, 06:37 PM) Well, it's possible. If you're using their simcard, and also if they have the updates already. I believe updates are based on our firmwares. .no..? If we use M'sian firmware...we receive M'sian OTA only..not Korean or any other countries OTA. |

QUOTE(romeo57 @ Oct 23 2013, 07:05 PM) I'm not sure. Last year, using S3, i went to Aussie and put their simcard. Right after that, i received an update. I dunno whether its a coincidence or what. I didn't check (or cant remember ) the size and firmware though. You can receive OTA using other country simcard...but you be receiving M'sian OTA...not Aussie OTA. Otherwise you gonna brick your phone lor  |

QUOTE(romeo57 @ Oct 23 2013, 07:30 PM) I'm confused. If like that, then the phone will brick la if i flash, let's say Germany's FW? OTA is not a full firmware...sortta receive whatever new or patching only. That's why the OTA size is small compared to full firmware. If you flash other country firmware..that's okay as you flash full firmware hence changing the whole phone system... You can still flashing certain part such as modem..kernel..etc |

Or simple example..
- Your phone is on BMG5...next schedule firmware is BMG6.
- Aussie phone...their firmware already on BMG6... and their next schedule firmware is BMG7
- You go to Aussie...your phone will receive the M'sian BMG6 OTA instead of the Aussie BMG7 OTA as Samsung server detect your phone is schedule to receive M'sian BMG6 as the next upgrade.
