[ FAQs ]
====================================================
Q1 : How to increase the abnormal limitness of volume of earpieces?
A :
http://koganefusube.blog.me/70167096326
SGS4 in South Korea has Yamaha's sound codec(YMU831) and the parameters of all of the volumes can adjustable in rom.
/system/etc/ysound.xml does, and I found that the stock values of them limited in 81.
I just changed from 81 to 100 and tested on my sgs4.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q2 : What recovery can I use?
A :
You can use recoveries for i9500(not 9505) to E300S, E300K(I can't sure for E300L but if you know clearly plz post that)
Now I'm using Chenglu's touch CWM 6.0.2.3 and flashing update.zip and making/restoring CWM backups are working fine.
Chenglu's recovery => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267820
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q3 : How to set the wallpaper in the full resolution without the notification bar?
A :
http://koganefusube.blog.me/70167678454
A way to solve this is editing stock sammy wallpaper application.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q4 : How to root?
A :
1. Change your recovery be CWMed.
Like uppon FAQ, I suggest you Chenglu's CWM Recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267820
2. Download SuperSU v1.32
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
3. Reboot into recovery mode(VolUP + Power + Home button for few seconds)
4. Flash SuperSU v1.32 you downloaded.
5. Reboot your phone.
6. Enjoy
In 20130519, phyb the developer in matcl announced his work. Thx to him if you want and helped by for your geeky smartphone life
※ You'll meet an error if you disabled and re-enabled su via SuperSU. If you do that, a way to reroot as flawless is just rebooting your sgs4. Then, SuperSU will work fine.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q5 : What EQ or audio effect can I use? Stock MusicFX is boring and useless
A :
I suggest you 'ViPER4Android' if you got root your SGS4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
I tested and applied flawless on my SHV-E300S.
It's funtionality is awesome and better than MusicFX or any EQ apps which doesn't require root permissions.
※ Note : Be sure CWM backup first for something unpredicatable situations, and some of functions in this mod consumes battery and system resources much than before you applied.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q6 : I can't access the hidden modes from inputting 319712358 via dial pad to change the settings about RIL
A :
E300S can access skt hidden mode with 'skt hidden mode +'. You can search it on Google Play.
I don't know about other ones(sorry) but if you know about the another way like this post the reply anytime
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q7 : I want to hide the suggested application list when I plug my earbirds at my sgs4. How can I?
A :
Unfortunately, SGS4 doens't have the setting UI about PageBuddy unlike previous sammy android smartphones
So if you want to do that, debloat all of the apps about PageBuddy.
(Or maybe just disable PageBuddyNotiSvc in Settings? I can't sure about this... if someone try and this is the way what I meant, post the reply anytime )
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q8 : My sgs4 mobile data connection looks slow even if I connected in LTE. What should I do to be better?
A :
Disable fast dormacy and disable geltle fair sleeper.
You can use gokhanmoral's FastDormacy toggle in SGS4 to disable fasl dormacy
and you can disable gentle fair sleeper with inputting a line in terminal.
( echo "NO_GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS" > /d/sched_features )
You can apply this code as init.d script or any apps doing like this
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q9 : I want to change the color of notification bar and panel. What should I do?
A :
Install Xposed Framework and Nottach Xposed.
Xposed Framework : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Nottach Xposed : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285074
Note : Nottach Xposed is not for SGS4 in Korea as official so if you meet any bugs in use, that's not a bug. Just not fit for.
Note : Don't change the battery icon. If you do that, Nottach Xposed will be applied as abnormal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q10 : Default background of Holo UI looks not fit for XXHDPI(FHD). Can I change it?
A :
Install Xposed Framework and DitheredHoloBackground
and use the app what I uploaded in this thread.
DitheredHoloBackground : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173001
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q11 : How to remove the carrier logo on the status bar with editing SystemUI.apk?
A :
1) Open the SystemUI.apk with Alzip
2) Go to res\drawble-xxhdpi and change tw_stat_notify_operator_logo.png into a picture filled blank with overwriting that file.
I attached an image file to change.
Note : If you just delete this image file in SystemUI.apk you want to edit and reboot after paste this, you'll be under endless reboot.
3) Paste the SystemUI.apk into your phone and reboot
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q12 : Is there a way to make a CWM backup and restore it as easy?
A :
You can use Online Nandroid Backup and Nandroid Manager,
You can make a CWM backup without rebooting into recovery via Online Nandroid Backup.
(Note : If you want to use this flawless, install busybox stericson's one)
You can restore a cwm backup and flashing 'update.zip's as you want as possible without rebooting into recoveryt via Nandroid Manager.

Not only bootloader but also the fixed kernel.
In other words, it doesn't on latest one.

Can someone please verify the exact steps on how to root SHV-E300s? I mean, do I need to install custom firmwares using Odin first before rooting, etc.
It's not only for me, but for others who have this device and want to root. And n00bs like me.

Hello marbulas,
Thank you for starting our S4 info and discussion thread.
I updated the root kernel supports init.d scripts an hour ago.
I think your scripts have been still the best in sgs2.
happy end of holidays

Root?
Can you please post the rooted kernel? I can read Korean or Chinese and google translate can't translate the page for me. Also, it is asking for business information and things like that. It would be awesome if you could post it though. Thank you.

Here are ME6 rooted kernels which I repacked as supercurio's method.
Choose kernel to be matched with your carrier and flash it via Odin.

For now with latest sammy build, yes. Latest way to root is flashing kernel fixed for. All of latest sgs4s are same on this problem.
Fortunately, a way to root appeared. You'd check the main post

Thanks for the links. I am going to be trying this in a few. Keep up the great work and please don't forget our great phone. But which one of the files that were posted do I flash for root??
EDIT: Nevermind. I saw the differences between the files. I have to get some sleep or something. LOL.

Just updated via software update. File size is about 50+mb & it says improve stability. Updated & noticed phone running little smoother.

One thing that I would do to help make this thread complete is to add the stock non rooted kernels to the OP. That way if someone messes up they can fix their phone without any problems.

I haven't updated to the ME6 firmware yet. I still have the stock firmware (out of the box) MDK. Do I have to update/flash the kernel posted here to root?

If you have stock sammy rom, you don't have to look for the stock kernel.
Just make a copy the stock rom and open the tar package with data compressing softwares(alzip?) and delete files except boot.img in the tar package. Then, that's the stock kernel to turn back.

Exemple:
to port S5 launcher to their ROM, E-team needed to decompile, Mod , recompile TouchwizHome.apk to make it work without Knox, You see ? But for S5 I don

By "knox-free" he means there is no knox implementation in the rom, so in future if theres a root method or a method to flash a custom recovery without triggering knox then you can run this rom without triggering knox at all.
also if this rom was made with my kitchen(not saying it is) then there is still some knox files, my tool needs to be updated

Will this work on the T-Mobile S5? And is there bluetooth tethering?

will this work on the SM-900I???

I'm going to give it a try

[ENABLER][G900][05/06][KK/LP] S5 Enabler v1.61

Welcome to S5 Enabler (by Hearten S. [dEAdHeart])introduction page!​
* 1. What is S5 Enabler? *
Enabler for Galaxy S5 is a simple file which can make your device (Korean models only) bootable with most of Touchwiz custom ROMs which are compatible with Samsung kernel. You can do these processes by flashing a boot file via Odin and copying some files to your device, but this Enabler was made for some people who can’t use their PCs or who have some problems with running Odin.​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
​
* 2. Caution! *
If you don’t know what is Philz (or CWM, TWRP), Knox Warranty Void, rooting, and custom ROMs, click or tap ‘Go Back’. Installing a custom recovery to install this file will make your Knox Warranty Void from 0x0 to 0x1 and get some limitations with A/S, also you can't use my KNOX any more. At your own risk!
Even if your device bricks (not booting), or your device doesn't work well, I am not responsible for it. Even though, the files were tested by my device, but your device can get bricked. Therefore, I prefer you to use this only when you do a nandroid backup before flashing ROMs or you're able to debrick your phone.​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
​
* 3. How to install *
- Download ROMs, MODs (only when you have), and Enabler.
- Enter (custom) recovery mode. If you have 4 way reboot mod in your previous ROM, you can tap Reboot - Reboot to recovery. Otherwise, you can turn off your device and press Volume Up + Home + Power for 3 seconds to enter.
- Do a factory reset. (This isn't essential.)
- Install a custom ROM. (You can install some other mods such as WALKMAN, Patch, etc.)
- Install Enabler.
- Reboot your phone.
- Enjoy! ​

* 4. Simple Q&A *
Q : What things don’t work?
A : T-DMB, and Mobile T-money (Mobile Cashbee) using NFC won’t work.
Q : I think there was support for LG U+ devices... but I can't find it. Where is it?
A : There was Enabler for LG U+ until 1.21, but since it has plenty of bugs such as Wi-Fi, BT, and Mobile Network don't work at all. Fixing these things aren't possible to me. Therefore, I decided to stop supporting LG U+ devices.
Q : I'm using SM-G900K (Galaxy S5 KT). I want to flash KitKat custom ROMs, but why there is only Lollipop version?
A : Since I am not using SM-G900K but SM-G900S, I can't export some files. When someone sends me files that I need, I'll be able to support it.

I think thread is necessary, eventhough it has been discussed. Also it is not bricked(correct me if Im wrong)just not booting due to incorrect Boot.img, which brings me to the next important subject with these Korean S5's, is it possible use custom Kernels?

Firstly a big thanks to @geohot for his awesome app - Towelroot, so don't forget to hit "Thanks" in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157
Unfortunately, this app does not work in case of Samsung stock ROMs: FNF4 or newer
Fortunately I have found a way A way is based on my very old idea, published 14 January 2013 (but only HERE, because I'm XDA member since March 2013).
Ready? Let's start!
1. Download and install Towelroot app (https://towelroot.com/), but do not use it yet.
2. Download XXUEND3 100% stock kernel (PC Odin flashable file):
>> KERNEL_N9005XXUEND3.tar.md5 <<
3. Go to Download Mode, load file as AP using PC Odin, connect the phone, click Start, wait for start up your phone.
NOTE: After this step you can see that wifi not working but don't worry - everything will be fine after restoring your original kernel (p.5). To continue (p.4), you will temporarily need a data connection.
4. Run Towelroot app and tap "let it ra1n" (after that you can remove Towelroot app)
5. Download your original kernel, matched to the ROM version you are using. Flash it in the same way as in p.3:
>> Recent kernel versions for SM-N9005 <<
(N9005DX, N9005VJ, N9005ZH, N9005ZT users - go to the "Kernel_DX_VJ_ZH_ZT" folder)
6. This step is not mandatory, but I recommend to install SuperSU app from Play Store (thanks to @Chainfire).
7. Enjoy your rooted ROM and KNOX 0x0. All data, applications and settings will remain untouched

"My ROM"... you mean - this ROM?
[ROM][N9005][ALEXNDR] GNG1 KitKat 4.4.2 Multi CSC (Developer Base, KNOX 0x0)
No! I have tested this root method using pure stock XXUFNG2 from Sammobile!
"My ROM" is prerooted "my ROM" you can install later, using Mobile Odin PRO (KNOX 0x0)

How have you test this if you have Knox 0*1??????

It's simple
"Set Warranty Bit : kernel" message has not been displayed throughout the entire procedure its enough for me to be 100% sure

Downgrade the entire ROM to XXUEND3 is not possible (bootlop) - that's why my thread is very useful
Your firmware is XXUFNG2 (last ITV update, according to Sammobile), so do as I wrote in #1

Hello _Alexndr,
I have your rom FNG2 with know 0x1. So this method reset the knox with 0x0?
Thanks!

YES, you can wipe data is not required if you choose same CSC as you are currently using

I did not notice it, but I used data. OK - I'll change the order of operations on #1 (first - download and install Towelroot).
EDIT: done [/QUOTE]
hope i didn't get you confused i had towel root downloaded already but towelroot needed internet to make it rain so need data on

Hi, thanks for your work. Now that a new rom is out (N9005XXUGNG1), how can i extract kernel to flash it after root? Can you post it?

wife need ?
I'm H3G user, firmware after recent OTA update is ....etc....UFNF2.
Need wipe and I will lost all my data and installed apk if I use this method?

No need to wipe if you choose same CSC as you are currently using

try with free download manegar (or like downloader) still slow,but not more than 20-25 minutes

Anyone knows how to install miui for N910H variant? 'Cause most ROMs made for N910C can be used for N910H while N910U can't (for example eRobot ROM is said to be for N910C only at the main page http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/rom-erobot-rom-note4-10-xxu1coi6-t3220827, however, I flash note-i N910H modem and the rom runs perfectly)

Does it matter whether my N910U is on 5.1.1 or 5.0.1 bootloader?

I tried to install it on n910c variant, did full wipe, cache, data, sistem... but remains stuck at Note 4 logo.... what to do?

It's based on 444? Why not 511. Just curious.

did you check your downloaded zip file,firstly try to unzipped it if it false try to download again ,if okey try to again install it

It's based on 4.4.4. - I'm not sure if you can install it without bootloop on anything else besides that version ... So you'll have to downgrade to 4.4.4 first, than install this rom ....
P.S. I remember some people saying that they've menaged to get it working on a 5.0.1 bootloader, but I'm not sure if it works ... So the best bet is to go for the 4.4.4 one

Why not 5.1.1 ? ?
