[ROM][GTi9305][XXUFNL1]23.1.2014[KK4.4.4] ▌Official Stock Rom ▌

[kenar2]

Based on Samsung Stock Roms for GTI9305:

- Stable and smooth
- Rooted, Deodexed, Zipaligned, Busybox added
- unbranded, boot sound renamed
- without any mods
- new bootloader isn't included!
- 5 Shortcuts possible add on Lockscreen
- defaultly set EN language, multilingual

All next it’s on your own risk!!!

About bootloaders:
- if you ever flash 4.3 or 4.4 via Odin or updated from OTA you have new Bootloader.
- if you bought your device and you dont know what bootloader you have, turn off your phone,reboot to download mode (hold power + volume down +home buttons) and when is there Knox flag 0x1 you have new and you are warranty off. When Knox flag is there 0x0 you have also new bootloader, but you are still in warranty and when you'll flash any custom recovery or unofficial firmware via Odin, you'll have then Knox 0x1 and you will be warranty off - so it's on your deciding. When isn't in download mode any records about about Knox, you still have old bootloader (btw congratulation ) and don't ever flash via Odin 4.3 and higher firmware - it's a pity.
PS: exit from download mode: hold pressed power button cca 5 seconds

Samsung Hub FIX for R2 and R3 HERE .... just flash it, however you'll lose possibility add 5 Short-cuts on Lockscreen

Screenshots - in 2nd post and in attachment

Changelogs - in 3th post

Customize as you like and wish!
- for good improvements I recommend install Wanam Xposed from market
- for cleaning of Bloatware you can use Rom cleaner from S4, guide you will find there, download possible HERE


Installation Instructions:
- first of all backup all your data from internal SD card, 4.3 and 4.4 has different structure tree from 4.1.2!!!
- if you go from 4.1.2 or older I recommend format internal card, if you don’t do it, on internal card were by me still data (DCIM etc...) and you can’t normal access them on 4.3, but even without formatting you can later move them from old folder to new one in 4.3 with Aroma file manager , for me easer way without format. Also is possible, that files will move automatically – also me happened
- be sure, you have EFS backup!!!
- create NanDroid backup to external card!!!
- download the *.zip file to external card!
- download to Recovery, recommended is only PHILz
- ROM isn’t full wipe, but is recommended if you get from any older
- wipe cache and Dalvik cache is automatically included
- select ZIP file from external card and install
- don’t use re-root after installation inside recovery - you don’t need it, if you'll do, then you need install again SU apk from market
- reboot and wait and wait ...
- enjoy it


- IF YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEM WITH ROOT TRY MAKE UPDATE AND APPLY SUPERUSER VIA MARKET ( then open SU and update binary and disable Knox and enjoy), OR RE-ROOT VIA CUSTOM RECOVERY (only PhilZ is recommended), THEN YOU HAVE TO AGAIN INSTALL AND APPLY SUPERUSER APK FROM MARKET.
- ON NEW BOOTLOADER AFTER INSTALLATION I RECOMMEND YOU MAKE STATUS SELINUX PERMISSIVE VIA WANAM XPOSED OR SELinux Mode Changer .....IF YOU WILL NOT MAKE THIS STATUS, ARE EXPECTED PROBLEM WITH ROOT

- If your camera doesn't work primary flash this Camera Patch. It should works . For interesting here are also older instruction: follow this (thanks @Hbohd and @P$T), if you don't have incriminated file flash relevant Stock kernel from HERE - Wifi doesn't work with old bootloader, then take photo and short video, then flash again your Rom without full wipe with kernel which you like. If your camera still doesn't work follow THIS or flash some Rom 4.1.2 (via Recovery or Odin) take picture, grab and backup incriminated files, then flash this Rom and put them to data/cwm. Don't forget backup your SlimISP_XX.bin for future. Problem with camera have only some users - Samsung issue.

[RickySiMo]

Thanks dude!

 

[chongc1996]

Ahh, smaller filesize than 4.3... I'll try clean flashing from aosp, I hope it works and I don't have to flash a 4.1.2 stock rom first or something.

 

[kenar2]

Yes smaller.
From Aosp just full wipe

Edit: R2 is a little larger

 

[MaHo_66]

Now this is some good news mate :good: gonna download it now and if it boots and all works fine I will use as my official base for S5 Elite

Thanks


EDIT: oke, some feedback on the rom

-boots fine
-wifi works
-had some troubles updating the SU binary, solved applying reroot using philz recovery
-manually pushed supersu.apk to phone and installed, cause play store wouldnt open, giving FC
-updated google play services and rebooted and got 2 or 3 more FC's from google related components
-seems overall nice and smooth
-sometimes freezes when trying to open Super SU app, pressing home button solves it though
-samsung apps are removed i guess, didnt saw it in the rom

So this far of my tests, only google related stuff is not working and to be honest, i dont believe rom will boot if i transfer S5 Elite to this base without a 4.4.4 custom kernel updated, but i'll give it a try anyway

 

[kenar2]

Ok very thank you!
Did you make Status SeLinux Permissive and applied towel root before? It should solve SU problems.

Edit: i confirm, Samsung apps aren't included, ill add.

Edit2: added to R2, solved all problems

 

[klemen241]

i would help testing but i urgently need gps and my phone working for a few days coz ii have to go somwhere. Sorry for stupid useless post. I will help testing at the end of the weeek

 

[bestfil]

1. where should I seek for stock kernel (my brother's phone has 4.3 bootloader
2. What recovery is suitable? Like for CM11 - tweaked 2.7.0 TWRP? Or it doesn't mind which one?

It doesn't mind, everyone is suitable i think

Samsung apps I'll check. I also don't know, why is missing SMemo and apks which I already added. The same problem with apps are on ported roms for S3 too

Edit: i confirm, Samsung apps arent included, ill add.

I think i know why the ported apps for the s3 roms dont work, probably youve figured it too, because of the s5 framework they work on the s5 roms, but not with s3 framework of 4.4.4, sounds logical enough to me, right?

 

[muhib.al.karim]

Downloaded this version from sammobile 2 days ago... Seems stable.. Also tested this one.. Seems to work fine so far... The camera bug which I kept having constantly on other cm based 4.4.2 seems to bd fixed.. I flashed stock rom before but that didn't even fix the camera, but this one does.

Just curious : any way to remove all the Samsung bloatware with one script or app ?.. Seems to be draining the battery a lot! ?

If I have 4.3 bootloader, wifi doesn't work? Because wifi isn't working for me.

no, no i didnt use them ..... now compiling new version with sasmung apps, and with others missing apps (will be contain the same apps as from Odin) - will solve problem with market too

Edit: and yes, for 4.4.4 must be used stuff from S5 4.4.4 .... I think in S3 threads people works on it

Yes. Wifi works only on new bootloader, we haven't Custom kernel for old bootloader ;(

 

[bestfil]

Yes. Wifi works only on new bootloader, we haven't Custom kernel for old bootloader ;(

I still don't understand. I don't know which bootloader do I have.

I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...tock-sgsiii-i9305-prerooted-firmware-t1935570 and it says:

D:\ANDROID\ANDROID-SDK\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ su
su
/system/bin/sh: su: can't execute: Permission denied
126|[email protected]:/ $ getprop ro.boot.bootloader
getprop ro.boot.bootloader
I9305XXBMJ1
[email protected]:/ $

which is propably 4.1.2's Polish ROM = 4.1.2 bootloader.

As far as I understand You say that every bootloader which is not 4.4.4 will make wifi disabled?

 

[kenar2]

if you ever flashed 4.3 Rom or 4.4.4 via Odin you have new bootloader, if not, you have old.
You can reboot to download mode, and when is there Knox flag 0x1 you have new and you are warranty off. If there isnt any records about Knox you have old and you have to wait for custom kernel.
I always recommend leave old bootloader, you'll not be warranty off

Edit: for more information you can find here topic about knox and bootloader.

PRODUCT CODE: GT-I9305
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (9 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

Is it 4.1.2?

If Yes than the only way to WIFI work would be installing newer (but worse) 4.3 or 4.4.4 bootloader?!

in addition to your info, AP SWREV 2 is 4.3 bootloader and AP SWREV 3 with blue text saying ''secure download enabled'' is 4.4.4 bootloader with enhanced security, thats causing us so much trouble, damn samsung with their crap of a KNOX and Bootloader****!

yes correct, but if i were you i would wait for a decent FW of 4.4.4 with a custom kernel, soon or later we'll get a new kernel one way or another, till then just wait and enjoy other roms. There is nothing special on 4.4.4 and you will be probably dissapointed with the 4.4.4 fw (at least i am) considering we had to wait so long for it...

yes you have old, the best way for you is to wait for custom kernel, @Hbohd already started working on Boeffla
