Update:

I extracted the file from the 4.2.2 stock system dump and replaced it.
it has a different sha1sum than what was on the device but still i get the same error when sideload the 4.4.3 zip



got error "status 7" when sideload : "/system/bin/debuggerd" has unexpected contents."
can anyone extract the stock debuggerd file so i can replace at (/system/bin) ?

Why are you making your life more difficult than you need? Just flash this odin package and be done with it.

Hi there. I have I S4 9505g. I'm not rooted and fully stock. Can I use Odin with this system image to get root. I have experience with rooting and flashing just new to this device. I'm assuming that I have to go through and root first then put twrp on. Thanks

Yes you may. You'll need to install SuperSU from the app store before or after flashing this, but, the su binary is up to date (1.99r3) and ready to go.

Also you could just flash twrp with ODIN before rooting. Either way, this will fix you up.

Great Job SamuriHL I don't have the GPE S4 anymore but I'm glad you are keeping everyone up to date

Thanks man. Yea, this one took a couple hours longer to post than I'd have liked because of changes they made to the scripts. I had to re-architect my build odin script to reconcile the changes. But the modems, recovery, and full images are all posted. Not too shabby considering it was literally one day after the Nexus devices got their factory images. ;) :D

My phone is rooted, and I installed Xposed framework. How do I install 4.4.3 without losing everything?
With Odin you lose everything right?

You won't lose your data. But it will overwrite your system partition, yes. You don't have a lot of options if you wanna get to 4.4.3 with the current environment you have on your phone. ODIN is pretty much it.

It is better to do a wipe data, to do a clean install? I'm afraid that Xposed and its modules can cause problems.

Don't know. I don't use xposed at all. Personally if it were me I'd flash it, see if it boots...if not, factory reset it and start over. But I'd at least try to boot it up without wiping data first. I go out of my way in all my utils to make it so users don't have to wipe data so you never know....it could work.

I've updated all my ODIN TAR threads to make it COMPLETELY clear what EVERY step is as it seems it was too difficult to follow.

Should be able to freeze the updater apk whatever the file is. I don't know it off the top of my head but look through them and you should find it.

    I used it with Xposed and it just overwrites it. No damage done at all. You will just need to reload the framework and reboot.
