Ok keep having this problem after rooting and using Titanium to remove bloatware

Do the removal and then go in and clear cache and Dalvik and phone boots up ok but everytime it keeps reverting back to German language and want it set to English

This is bug in the phone or something else anyone else experience this?

Cant flash the custom recovery.

I tried several times to flash both of the recovery files of chenglu and phills but they do not seem to get installed, odin gives me PASSED message but still i cant boot into custom recovery so i can install root zip! Am i doing anything wrong? I am following the steps very carefully but is there something i am missing??

can i also just flash the cwm and root without flashing any rom, just staying official and remove bloat? if i understood everything right, running the old bootloader on 4.2.2 knox shouldnt be tripped as long as you stay on this bootloader.

My i9506 should arrive within the next days. Once I get it I will try to root it using Kingo (kingoapp.com) and post the results here.
I found some nice Youtube videos where people are rooting their Galaxy Note 3 (what - as we all know - is hardware wise pretty similar to our device) without tripping KNOX: youtube.com/watch?v=jTCH0gmRT0A
The thing that amazes me the most about this program is not only that it offers one-click-root but also one-click-unroot with restoring everything back to official!

Since the i9506/E330 is currently not listed in the supported devices section of Kingo I am pretty curious if it works. At least they are advertising on their main page with "All Devices Supported" so I am pretty optimistic.

Has someone of you made any experience with this program and would like to share them in the meantime?

[XDA won't let me put any links to external sites, as long as I have less than 10 posts, so I had to change them to plain text - sorry for that!]

i know this kingo app but currently i9506 is not supported. So use it when you know how you bring back you device if you get a hard/softbrick. the devs from kingo app also say that .... and if you search on google/xda you will find people who tried that on unsupported devices with hard and softbricks.

so i only want alert you and think about that twice before you do that since currently you wont trip any knox thing on i9506 with 4.2.2 firmware bootloader if you root it over cwm....

My bad, I did not know that! I thought the worst thing that could happen is that Kingo did not recognise my device and that's it. I was not aware that it tries to root even if the device is unknown to it

The reason why this app got my attention was a post on their Facebook site a couple of weeks ago where they listed a table of all Galaxy S4 variations (including the i9506). With this in mind I thought that by now all of them should be supported and maybe they just missed to update the "Device"-section on their homepage.

I already had some softbricks/bootloops using CWM on my current device (Galaxy S2) but was luckily able to fix them every time. In order to avoid this from happening to my S4 this Kingo app sounded pretty nice... But as I can tell by your reply you do not seem very keen about it at all :/

Dear xenix,

I am in the process of comparing between the i9505 and the i9506 and I really dont know which one to purchase specially they are prized the same!! but I am sure that i9506 is much stronger in terms of processor but i9505 is better in terms of support and development so I am fearing that i9506 will not get much support or development in the near future so I'd like your advice as a i9506 user. Appreciate your reply

well its depending on your own priorities what you exactly need and want do with your device.

My Top prio's what i need on a device is:

1. cwm
2. root
3. cm based custom rom
4. aosp based custom rom

The first 2 points are must have for me and next 2 points are wishes since i can debloat the official firmware with root access.

So if i where in your position i would decide me for the I9506 cause it have cwm and root available since it have also the s800 processor

So set your priorities and decide wich device you want

Cheers

Dear xenix96

Thank you for your quick support.I already decided to go for the i9506 but I have one issue that is holding me which is; the seller has a brand new one never been used and I checked the imei, about software and everything which shows that the phone is genuine and its a i9506.The only problem is that the box is for I9500 not i9506 although the imei sticker on the box is the same one behind the phone and the one called from *#06# but the model written on the back of the box is i9500 with the specs for the i9500 so is that normal ?? how about you check the back of your box and verify it and attach the photo if you can.you can see the attachments to understand me well.

So as i can see when i compare the pictures you got a original I9506 with right IMEI but wrong box ......
If you bought it as new from a reseller then i would throw that box on their table and request the right box or request the money back!!!!

Cause you need in case of warranty the right box (thats a requierement from my reseller)!!

If you get it from a private person then you got bad cards ....In attachement you find pictures of the original I9506 box ....

Try different USB port and do not use any USB HUB, connect cable directly to pc.
