This is the guide for updating to 4.3 from stock unrooted state or while having a custom rom on it.
Many people have suffered bootlops or worse issues when trying to update to 4.2.2. Alright. Thisthread will also be used for helping people who hace bricked their devices and i will actively help whenever i can.
This process is quite tedious for unpatient people so stay away from the thread if you cant follow all the steps.
Pre-requisites:
Galaxy S4 I9500 (exynos/octa)
odin version 3.09 (attached to 2nd post)
A stock 4.3 firmware package (take it from firmware thread)
cwm 6.0.4.4 by S.a.M.e.R_d (for root users) link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489234
adonis.pit (8.94 gb) (attached to 2nd post)
cf autoroot(for root users) link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292615
Degrated Shadow's KNOX Remover.zip script (attached to the post
some patience and brain (no links for these .. lol.. cant attach either)
Scenario 1: You aren't rooted and have all the status's official and old bootloader on 4.2.2
Best way for you is to connect to the kies and download and update and install it through kies.
Do not download otas.
For some people it gives bootlopping error and for some it just works alright. It bootlop'ed for my brother but not for my friend who were on same stock firmwares and all.
if it is bootlopping now
1. Go to recovery (when phone is switched off press power butoon+volume up+home button)
2. Wipe Data/Factory Reset (this will wipe your data and its necessary because now you cant downgrade without triggering you warranty bit)
Scenario 2: You are on prerooted stock firmware.
Download the 4.3 firmware package(with 4 files)
Set the drivers up on windows
1. Open Odin v3.09
2. Put appropriate files in AP BL CP CSC
AP=previously PDA
BL=bootloader
CP=Modem
CSC=file starting with CSC
3. Download the adonis it and put it in pit.
4. Connect device in download mode (when phone is switched off press and hold power button+volume down+home button)
Voila you are done.
Scenario 3: You are rooted and are on custom roms or a custom pit (adonis_c.pit comes with 11.82 gb storage which is incompatible with 4.3 firmwares.
1. Flash pit seperately without the firmware package in odin v3.09
2. Perform a battery pull then put the battery back
3. Go into download mode (when phone is switched off press and hold power button+volume down+home button).
4. Flash the 4 package file
AP=previously PDA
BL=bootloader
CP=Modem
CSC=file starting with CSC
5. Flash cf autoroot by chainfire by putting it in AP
let it root and install stock recovery
6. Go back to download mode and install GT-I9500-CWM-6.0.4.4.tar Build #1 as AP
Step 7 and following are to be followed for using custom roms although they arent available at the time this is posted. wanam has relesed 3.0 but is a test rom
7. Boot back into recovery and go to mounts and storage
Format everything except the ext sd card
8. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache(in advanced menu in cwm)
this whole step might seem unnecessary but always be at the safer side
9. Install the custom rom and boot back into android
10. Flash the KNOX remover script by me
11. YOU are good to go
Voila you are done
NOW FOR ROOT USERS
after setting up all accounts and stuff
1. Go to play store.
2. Update supersu.
3. Open supersu and install the binaries.
4. Flash the KNOX remover script by me OR Install Titanium Backup link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=en
5. Freeze or delete all knox crap. ( I prefer deleting).
6. Reboot.
Now you are set and ready to install all the apps and root is working.
Scenario 4: you are on 4.3. want to flash a custom rom. and dont care about warranty.
1. Flash CF autoroot by chainfire/ Flash latest perseus kernel
2. Then power off. go to download mode (power button+Home button+volume down)(
3. Flash cwm 6.0.4.4
4. Flash any custom rom you want now from recovery. but remember to format system atleast once before that.

@runedrune (for solving my doubts in day to day life)

Alright. SO this thread will be used for hel;ping people who have soft bricked their devices or similar issues like not getting root or sound problems
My friend @nickboy360 is going to help you all in my absence although he will buzz me when there is a confusing case.
This place wont stand for spammes and they will be reported.

Firmware package is necessary to have the lastest kernel, trust zone, etc...
No. Since our bootloaders are locked, an all in one rom flash would brick you. That, and safestrap (as far as I know) does not flash any other partitions other than system and data. Also, flashing those via ODIN is MUCH safer. I've not heard of anyone bricking from flashing a corrupted image via ODIN since ODIN verifies the MD5.

jasmine was built from pulled aka dd'd partitions from an updated phone this was built from the factory images straight from samsung untouched. only difference other than what is listed in op is possibly better symlinks etc. as i read mr. hyde was having a problem with reboot command because of symlinks
So... I should flash this over jasmine? O mean whatever you think beans I always appreciate everything you do and go with what you say buddy. Now if I flash this since I have jasmine already on NE9 I can just flash this in SS without any complications or do I have to flash kernels and firmwares again?

I would say not to dirty flash this since this is an official base compared to jasmine's pulled base.
Once you've flashed NE9 firmware, you never need to flash it again... unless you downgrade to NCG. But yeah once you're on NE9, you're good. :good:

How do we flash the ODIN firmware? What option do we check? IS it the bootloader section in ODIN?

Stock LG D850 20F Lollipop 5.0.1
This thread is based on my original post found in the AT&T G3 Lounge Thread..
What's new is I've just packed 20F into a flashable zip for those with TWRP already installed. It's not much.. but I know many would prefer not to use ADB or terminal.
What's this thread have to offer?
Flashable/BUMP'd D850 20F "rom" (system/boot)
Flashable D850 20F modem
Stock D850 20F partition images
Patched/BUMP'd D850 20F boot.img
Manual directions for installing TWRP if already on 20F
Manual directions for installing 20F if flashable zips aren't your thing
The above mentioned can all be downloaded HERE ON CODEFIRE
Flashable "rom" directions:
1. Put D850_20F_Lollipop_Stock.zip and D850_20F_2.0.1.c1.13-00050_Modem.zip on sdcard
--For root: Also grab the SuperSU zip from Chainfire HERE
2. Boot into TWRP
3. Hit install button and select each zip file you need
4. Swipe to flash... done. Rom flash will take a bit.. be patient.
5. Reboot phone when rom, modem, root is flashed. First Lollipop boot may take up to 5 minutes.
In some cases you may need to wipe cache/dalvik/data(factory reset) in TWRP if the phone gets stuck on boot animation or if things just aren't acting right. To avoid data loss be sure to use something like Helium or Titanium Backup prior to upgrading to Lollipop. TWRP backups/Nandroids don't hurt either.
Having issues with internal sdcard permissions afterwards? Having issues with downloads not saving? You may need to fix your sdcard permissions. In terminal emulator or adb shell enter:
Code:
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0/
Some have mentioned external sdcard issues.. not sure if anyone has way to fix that? Maybe same command as above only pointing to ext-sd?
MD5:

df2564aa824b35dbaf8bd886b5210b4a D850_20F_2.0.1.c1.13-00050_Modem.zip
Below I am including my original directions for manually flashing Lollipop.. whether completely stock and already on 20F... or already rooted/BUMP'd/TWRP'd.
You do not need to pay attention to any of this below if you are just flashing the rom above... these are the original manual directions only. #learn2read
If you want TWRP just downgrade aboot.img and laf.img to KK.. then BUMP'd TWRP will work. Must be rooted to be able to flash TWRP obviously. If not already rooted -- Root with THIS METHOD HERE or use THIS ONE-CLICK METHOD if typing an ADB command scares you.
If rooted and on stock 20F Lollipop follow #1
If already TWRP'd/BUMP'd on KitKat (or using AOSP) and want to manually update to rooted stock 20F follow #2
#1
Download D850 TWRP HERE and rename to twrp.img. download stock KK aboot and laf images HERE. Stick all 3 on root of internal sdcard. You'll also have to flash a patched stock 20F boot.img so that the Lollipop system still boots when using the downgraded aboot.img/laf.img. You can download the patched boot.img HERE. Stick it in the root of your internal sdcard.
Now issue the following commands with ADB shell. If using terminal app on phone do not use the "adb shell" command:
Code:
[SIZE="2"]adb shell
su
md5 /sdcard/aboot.img (confirm md5 = 348064a6d4f8d5b7d3eeec79d86de5bd before proceeding)
dd if=/sdcard/aboot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
dd if=/sdcard/laf.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
dd if=/sdcard/patched-20f-boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot[/SIZE]
You are finished and can now reboot back into the rom. You are now rooted, BUMP'd and TWRP'd on Lollipop!
#2
If already TWRP'd/BUMP'd and you want to upgrade manually to 20F Lollipop... download the patched boot.img HERE and stick it on the root of your internal sdcard.. along with the 20F modem.img and system.img. (@timmytim[/MENTION] shared system.img in the lounge thread HERE so be sure to thank him)
You may or may not have to "factory reset" in TWRP. YMMV.
[If flashing system.img you must be in TWRP, not the rom, while issuing these commands]
[May need the "Koush Universal ADB" drivers to get ADB goin' in TWRP]
Code:
[SIZE="2"]adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/patched-20f-boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
dd if=/sdcard/modem.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system[/SIZE]
If flashing 20F system via this method you will also need to root since the system.img is stock. Download SuperSU zip from Chainfire HERE and flash the zip in TWRP AFTER flashing the system.img. You are finished and can now reboot back into the rom. You are rooted, BUMP'd and TWRP'd on Lollipop.

Following method #1 downgrades your bootloader so that BUMP works. If you did method one(#1)... you are BUMP'd/TWRP'd...
BUMP = G3 unlocked bootloader method.
Any kernel's (and roms with new kernels) flashed thru TWRP on your phone will need to be BUMP'd from here on out unless you go back to 100% stock.. including proper bootloader. Most custom zips should already be pre-BUMP'd so that should not ever be a worry.
Anything that needs to be discussed further about BUMP or unlock does not belong here.

Yes to both of the above questions. @jaybird38 to make restoring 4.4/aosp nandroids effortless.. be sure to backup the modem as well. you may or may not need to reflash KK modem when using 4.4 roms. @louvass yes, that's exactly what the flashable zips are for.

In teh future I may reply to people using this post rather than making a new post just to say "yes" or something...
Sorry to sound noob by it needed to be clarified since I did not see it anywhere but I suspected it was BUMP"d just wanted to be sure before start flashing away roms
deodexed or odexed?
edit: thanks for the update. I assumed it was odexed but wanted to verify. I'll hold off until there is one deodexed for modular packages then.
Flashed and booted up into the setup. Thank you very much!
Next challenge is to port D85520i and get it to pass security checks!
Great work, mate.
Just a heads up, thought most will already know this. Started process at ~100% and ended at 90% battery. Major heat increase during optimization (expected) and debilitating lag for the first ~10min (also expected.) Device is slowly settling down after a reboot.
***UPDATE***
Also probably no surprise to anyone but me, I had to reinstall busybox (even though I did a dirty flash)
Any advantage of the stock LG lollipop? I went straight to CM12 when I got the phone. Wonder if I should try stock out.

I mean think about it ....... Stock camera which is always on point ... And now you have a rooted stock lollipop so you can use a lot of root access apps. Maybe XPOSED modules... There are advantages in stock rooted lollipop. Its user preference. I am on Illusion but will probably make a backup of this for safe keepings

tbh, the only thing Stock got on AOSP is the camera. If you want a flawless camera experience then Stock, if you don't mind the average photos and limited options with the camera then I'll stay on AOSP
Appart from the aosp experience that you may like, there are some extra features packed in stock roms such as a better camera, remote controller, dual view, knock code, one handed operation, circle case support and so on... The better camera and remote controller itself are two of my most used features on the phone so stock lollipop is not an option but I have to admit that aosp lollipop has its strong points too such as a more cleaner interface, more battery life, more updated OS... So, it's a decition only you can make.
If I flash this on a stock backup will I still be able to restore stock 4.4 or my cm 12 ROM.just don't want to loose them.

Exactly this. I've been hoping for cloudy for a long time, but I think i'm about to go back to a stock rom. I use my camera a lot, who doesn't, but the AOSP roms just don't quite cut it. If you do get something like CM, use the Lenovo camera, much better images.
NEW THINGS ARE COMING. KEEP AN EYE OUT.
Hello!
I have taken the system.img and boot.img from the flashable zip for 20f that @autoprime made and made a ROM base. It is prerooted, deodexed, has busybox, and has support for ArchiDroid Init.d (basically Init.d found in the ROM, not the kernel). It should be ready to flash as is, but a more experienced dev may want to look through my updater-script. It was created using ArchiKitchen (Busybox and ArchiDroid Init.d) and JoelDroid Batch Deodexer (Deodex system apps, priv-apps, and framework). Please flash with caution. I believe everything is kosher, but I haven't attempted to flash it myself. Just like with autoprime's flashable zip, please flash the modem before flashing this if you are upgrading from KitKat. Feel free to use this as your ROM base, just give me credit if you use it.
It's been pointed out to me that I didn't mention whether it was debloated or not. I ran the archi and romcleaner debloat scripts found in ArchiKitchen on it. I am not sure if this wiped the at&t specific apps or not. I also believe Carrier IQ is still enabled. I wasn't sure how to clean Carrier IQ out.
The Q&A thread is here. Not sure why it isn't accessible from the bar at the top like usual.
Instructions for flashing:
REMEMBER TO MAKE A BACKUP!
1a. If coming for KitKat or AOSP Lollipop ROM, wipe data/facory reset and wipe system.
1b. If already on stock Lollipop, dirty flash SHOULD be ok.
2. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache (optional).
3. If coming from KitKat, flash updated modem for 20f.
4. Flash ROM.
5. Rewipe Cache and Dalvik Cache (optional).
6. Reboot to system.
To fix issues with xposed, after flashing the xposed zip, download and flash the zip here to stop the Force closes. Alternatively you can freeze quick circle and the weather widget apps prior to flashing xposed.

Thank you for the work, excited to see lollipop development take off
Is it a debloated stock?

Not really. I'm not a true dev per say. I just set this up as a base for other devs to use. got the basic stuff out of the way. As I mentioned in the OP. I haven't flashed this yet, so exercise caution when flashing. Everything should be fine, but it does include the boot.img, so if everything isn't proper, it may be bad. Either way, if you decide to flash, please make a backup before and keep the KitKat restore file readily available.

I've been around for a while now. Attempted several large projects, but usually ran out of time. As such, I generally only deodex and such for other devs to use, but if I can find the time, I will definitely try to expand this. I will also post a truly debloated version at some point. I might attempt to flash it soon. It only affects system and boot.img, so if the boot.img is set to extract to the proper block (I checked against my own D850 for the proper mount block), everything should go fine.
i will flash and see wish me good luck..Lol

Sounds like a boot image issue.

TekGadgt. Thanks for doing this. I look forward to a working release.
This same issue happened when folks with a custom recovery tried to take the ota for Stock Lollipop. I wonder if the same fix for that will work here.

That's odd and somewhat unlikely, since I flashed the exact same one from autoprimes system.img and boot.img. Did everyone that flashed upload their modem as well? And did everyone wipe properly?

I gave this a shot and it did hang at the LG logo with blinking l.e.d. a little longer, but still returned to recovery
TEAM WIN RECOVERY PROJECT (TWRP) version 3.2.1-0
What is TWRP?
Is a fully touch-based custom recovery, which allow you to flash some zip files, backup some partitions and restore the device.
This recovery is specific to Galaxy S6 Edge, model 404SC(SM-G925Z/Japan model, carrier Softbank). But i tested and worked on the Galaxy S6 Edge SCV31/carrier Au KDDI too. I didn't tested in any "Docomo" variant. In case you want to try, send me an message and i will provide the modified "stock kernel", to be able to boot on system.
I recommend to not try to flash this in any internacional model.
Compiled with the latest omni sources 8.1.
https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/
Warning:- I will take no responsability for anything bad, that can happen after flash this recovery!
Flashing this recovery, will trip the KNOX and void the Warranty. If you are ok with that, proceed downloading the recovery, flash with the Odin and enjoy.
In case you want to keep the warranty, this is not for you!
Starting from Lollipop, flashing any custom binary, will end up in stuck at boot. This is due to dm_verity. To be able to boot on system, after flash the TWRP recovery, is necessary to flash an modified kernel.
You can flash my custom permissive kernel for 404SC, from this link:- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850510939
Kernel source code:- https://github.com/frankbrazillian/android_kernel_samsung_404SC
This kernel is very close as stock, only making this kernel permissive... Compiled with Linaro toolchain gcc 7.
Or if you want to keep the "stock kernel", you can find the link to the model 404SC and SCV31 stock kernel, on the second post.
You will find the link to "stock recovery" too, in case you want to revert.
How to flash the Recovery?
I recommend to flash with Odin3 v3.12~
Link to download Odin:-
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1etF4YP6nJYq-CQEzZJqDv7YS39rQSsbT/view?usp=drivesdk
Note:- After flash the TWRP recovery with Odin, is necessary to put the device in recovery mode(pressing the combo POWER + HOME + VOLUME UP), and swipe to allow modifications when prompted, to make this recovery permanent. If you won't swipe to allow modifications or leave the device restart to system before enter on recovery mode on first boot, the TWRP recovery will be replaced automatically for the "Stock recovery", and you will need to flash the TWRP recovery again.
In case you still have doubts, post an message and i will try to help you.
How to root your device?
Download the latest SuperSu from this link:- (https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822.zip), or the latest Magisk from this thread :- (https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445) and flash with the TWRP recovery. Since both root tools are systemless, if you wipe the data/factory reset, you will lost the root access. After flash the SuperSU with TWRP recovery, you will see an red message on top of the screen on boot, saying the Kernel is not SEANDROID ENFORCING. Don't worry, this is normal, since the SuperSU will edit the Kernel to be able to get root access.
Feel free to test and let me know if this recovery worked for you...
And please press the "Thanks" button, if this helped you in anyway...
Regards....
Frank.

Obs:- In the screenshots, the header color is mustard, but on the device is the real color "blue".
Since this doesn't interfere in anything, i just leave in this way....
Some screenshot's about the Kernel permissive and root.
In case you want to revert back to stock or want to keep the Stock kernel.
After flash the Twrp recovery, is necessary to flash this Stock kernel or the Custom permissive one. Both are already modified to be able to boot on system. If you flash only the Twrp recovery on Stock rom, you will be stuck at boot. This is due to dm-verity.

Obs:- For the SCV31 model, i didn't compiled yet the Custom permissive kernel, so is necessary to flash this Stock kernel, after flash the Twrp recovery or the device won't boot, due to dm-verity. This stock kernel is modified to be able to boot on system.

Basically exploiting the buffer between reboots while in DL mode. Smart. Hopefully when they fix it they simply throw an autoreboot after file complete, rather than some obnoxious knoxx hoops to jump through. I'm going to test this on my s6 right now. Actually I bet they end up making a softknoxx that gets flagged after any download, and throws a verify function.
So... Anyone who flashed this recovery on 404SC or SCV31 on Nougat, can give me some feedback?
Any issue? Worked for you?
@adipurn ..... Custom permissive kernel for SCV31 NN, with the deepsleep fixed, already done.
I will send you to test, ok?
Compiled with Gcc linaro 7.
Still need some fixes....

Hi....
What do you mean, settings might not display the latest changes?
About the reboot problem, this can be a problem with the rom itself and not the TWRP. Can you give me the link of the rom you flashed? I need to reproduce the problem.
About the MTP, i'll try to fix it....
Maybe i will build an recovery specific for this model, just in case.
Thank's for your feedback anyway....

I was talking with adipurn who are helping me with tests of the custom kernel and he said, they can flash custom rom with TWRP without any bootloop, but the TWRP are not working with aroma. I need to figured it out, what is necessary to get aroma working on TWRP.
The link of the rom you post, i believe is not for your model... It's for internacional model or some chinese variant. Thats why you got problems...
Untill i fix the compatibility with aroma, try to flash some custom firmware specific for your model SCV31.
As soon as i can fix the mentioned issues, i'll update the thread with the links for download.
Thank's again for your feedback.

Actually the aurora rom work for most model if you flash the right kernel, and i am using it now. ( i reboot device by force )
I can't post outside links, cause i'm new here.
The rom and kernel is downloaded from other post by aurora team( not in xda ),and scv31 is in the support list.

Ok... Here is the link to download the stock kernel and stock recovery in case the Twrp won't work on your model... This is specific for the SC-04G model on Nougat.
Kernel:-
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gEh32YnXxJk5qWgT4WPVtX3vjRGMxivQ/view?usp=drivesdk
Recovery:-
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X0hRIUgZBKk4PuRLtPrETqFRG3cyFNaq/view?usp=drivesdk
First flash the TWRP recovery with Odin and after flashed, the phone will boot. Don't let the device restart to System.... Put the phone in recovery mode, (Power button + home + volume up). Swipe to allow changes to system. After put the phone in download mode and flash the "modified" stock kernel to be able to boot.
Reboot the device and you are ready to go...
Let me know if worked for you....
I will be uploading an new Twrp version, as soon as i fix the issues..
Press the thanks button if helped and enjoy....
