Can you please help me for the following:
Devise Name: Galaxy S4, Made in Vietnam
Model: GT-I9515
Android Version: 4.4.2
Baseband Version: I9515XXU1ANC2
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-928311
I bought the above mobile in Saudi Arabi which is desinged to work in Middle East & Africa Region only. Without knowing this fact, I sent it to my country (Sri Lanka) where it asked a pin No when they put the SIM. They have tried to unlock it by installing superSu but not worked. So they send it back.
When I tried to put my SIM (mobily-KSA), now it says 'un-registered network' .
So, I removed the SuperSu by deleting the superuser.apk file followed by the Full Unroot option in the SuperSu.
But still it is not recognizing the SIM in KSA. I need to go back to the original Factory firmware and I am aware that
1st - I need to Reset the flash counter
2nd - need to flash the official firmware.
If I am correct, please I need your help with following:
- Which flash resetting software will work for this model (GT-i9515)
- How to reset flash counter in this mobile
- How to install stock firmwares.
Please help me for this.
For your info. Also when I cheked this mobile in donwload mode, it displays the following
Odin Mode:
-------------
Product Name: GT-I9515
Current Binary: Customs
System Status: Customs
Knox Kernel lock: 0x0
Knox warantee void: 0x1
CSB-Config-LSB: 0x30
Write Protection: Enable
eMMC Burst mode: Enabled
Please need your guidance to bring this mobile to stock.
Thanks,

hello i bought galaxy s4 via aliexpress i been told its i9500 but when i tried to update via kies or FOTA it saying that its the last firmware
can you tell me by this info how can i upgrade it to kitkat? and if not how to install custom roms?
It seems like someone did a Frankenstine Operation on the Phone.
Based on the Firmware on there, it appears like this is an International Galaxy S4. If so, please post in [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S4 | Ask any question | Noob friendly. so that we are sure that is the device.
Based on your other Screenshot, your Bootloader is that of AT&T Canada Bell Galaxy S4 North American Version. If so, please post in Stupid Questions Thread - No question too stupid!
It is very crucial to not flash the wrong firmware as that would certainly Brick your Phone for good.
Once correct variant is confirmed, you might be able to get the correct Stock Firmware for your device.
If I really REALLY have to guess, since Product and Device code can be manipulated in the Rom, I'd trust the Bootloader, more to identify what it really is. And in your case that points to AT&T S4.
I am a bit confused since theres thousands of ways and most are obsolete.
What is the best and safest way to root this ? do I need disable knox 2.3 first ? (how) Will it trip the knox flag?
will it run good on android 4.4.2 would you recomend this ? what 4.4.2 rom should i use and how to flash this ,
odin ? any special settings ? I apreciate any hints to get the most out of this baby.

Thanx for the info, I do not think any of this will work on my phone. from june 2015
Backup is not listed as option unless i use a custom recovery like cwm
installing custom recovery will trigger knox flag and void warranty and knox will wipe it on the next reboot (can be gotten around by disable auto-reboot and booting directly to recovery)
Towelroot says its not supported (only work on older versions from last year ?)
most ways to disable knox requires root , knox will disable any root files one tryes to use

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Usually OTA's and custom recoveries/ROM's are mutually exclusive (and when they are inclusive, they have no bearing on things like Knox).
This thread should help (particularly post 7):
> Samsung Galaxy S 5 > Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > Galaxy S5 G900FD
I know, you probably already did this. There's an advantage here. If there are any snags, you can post your experience in that thread (or the linked threads) as well (once you have an XDA account). It's a Q&A forum, so your device experts are not far away.
Hope this helps, and good luck!
