[ROM] Roto KA1 [Deprecated: Use Roto-JME instead]

It was fun while it lasted, but I think we can safely skip KA1. I'll leave everything here for those that want to play, but I'm going back to Roto-JME and crank out a new release of that.
Here are the pre-packaged KA1 firmwares, pre-rooted.
I am recommending that you flash CF-Root-Tab-KA1 to get ClockWorkMod 3.0 if you do not have a protected bootloader.
Use Roto-KA1-Full.zip if you are coming from any firmware other than Roto-JME.
Use Roto-KA1-Upgrade.zip if your current firmware is Roto-JME.
Use P1_add_hidden.pit if you're not coming from Roto-JME.
I have made the following filesystem changes so far:
Deleted Gmail.apk, Maps.apk and install_flash_player.apk to free up space for rooting.
Added AppWidgetPicker-1.2.1.apk
For those of you with protected bootloaders, either package will work for you too.

I have not modified the filesystem on this initial release.

KA1
I'm still making packages, have no time to actually use it. Its smooth, especially the curtain.
JL1 modem. So far gallery hasn't went 100% cpu. Theres a new "Active Applications" widget showing how many apps are in the background, with some type of meter or display or something.

sorry still confused, is this an actual rom or just an add on package to the JME rom.

Can you port to cdma devices

Hi, Roto
I have flashed the original JM* series ROM so the bootloader already got protected. Is there any safe way to downgrade?
I went through the whole thread of downgrading JM6, but eventually was confused and didn't dare to try.
Any of your advise will be highly appreciated.
EDIT: I will give a try no matter how according to the guidance.

essentially what you get with this is a Clockwork Recovery, so we can flash future roms instead of using Odin.....am i right on stating this?

oh, so then KA1 is the follow up to JME?

Thank`s Roto
but update fails from JME v2
The Setting`s for a full flash ?
Pit yes - no
Repart yes - no ??
Sry for my English........

Arguments for upgrading?
Excuse me, but isn't KA1 an Asian ROM?
What are the arguments for upgrading from Roto-JME, if you're an European SGT user?
Thx!

Just flashed Roto-KA1-Upgrade and CF-Root-Tab-KA1 over JME(non-protected bootloader), everything seems excellent so far, very smooth moving through apps and menus, no problems with screen auto-dim, even the Readers Hub is updating properly(hasn't updated properly for me through the JMx roms).
Edit:
Market just updated properly.
Swype v2.4.44.10881 is full-screen for those who were wondering.
Thanks rotohammer and chainfire for all your work on these releases.
Cheers,
Rob

Asian and English. The Asians lost out on JME, so now its their turn. Would be nice to combine all the locales though.

Roto,
What about us fools that have signed PBL,SBL,zimage???
Do you have anything for us signed bootloader people? Or are we screwed?
Thanks for all the hard work!

Yes it does, It matters what CSC is on the phone, and Where the phone came from. Meaning the Version of the phone we have will NEVER come to the USA . (Which is were I live) thus no software updates in the USA. Where my phone came from when they get the update I get the update.

Just plugged my 2 day old Xperia ZL into PC companion and its dowloading 10.1.A.1.434 to update...

AWESOME! I just got it! I couldnt get it yesterday But I got it tonight!
Only 2mb so I wonder what changed?

i heard some ppl said that it would not let u unlock BL

^ You may be right. The member in the thread linked below claimed he had an unlockable bootloader and lost it after the 434 update. If you were planning on unlocking and flashing ROMs, you may want to wait until someone can confirm it.

No, the BL unlock status doesn't change with the 10.1.A.1.434 update. I updated to .434 and BL unlock allowed says "yes" for mine.

best (and fastest) way is with kies simulating an emergency recovery. It downloads directly on your pc. you have only to discover the temp file in the internet download directory unzip and voilà.

Hi:
I was intrigued with your comment, Can you explain how you do that? I have limited exposure to KIES and when I tried to do an emergency recovery to get stock my device did not show up in the window. There was a prompt for a recovery code. I have no idea what that is about or where I would retrieve such a code. Thanks!

shortly:
kies3 -> connect the device (the drivers will be installed) -> select "tools/firmware upgrade and initialization" -> click yes and accept to everything ; skip backup -> some components will be downloaded and installed on PC (the device will not be affected) . At this point the appropriate firmware start to download in a temporary folder. Discover this folder via an appropriate tool ( like procmon from sysinternals.com filtering the sm-p605.exe process - in my case C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp3C06.tmp). when the download is finished this file is renamed from .tmp to .zip and inside it you will find the firmware (.tar.md5). Hope it helps

What is the difference between the note 10.1 2014 November and December 4.3 firmware on Samfirmware, one is from Taiwan and one is from Afghanistan. You think there are any lag fixes in those builds? Seems weird they don't have a December build for us...

Hello,
Sorry to bring back this topic but i would like some advice for my Chinese tab : JSS15J.P600ZCUAMJ1
It got many force close and the fact that google service are not available is pain in the ass.
I checked on sammobile and there is TAIWAN PDA: P600ZTUBML1 CSC : P600ZZTBML1
Is it compatible with my version so i can flash it? (need to auto-root first)
Thanks a lot !

Has anyone been able to root this thing? Their old zip doesn't work on this one.

can't have root permanent... everytime i need root i must start SUPERSU and ask for update.. then without reboot i can use the app in with root priviledges!
i hope someone come out with a solution!!!

What about theX9007 platform?
This is great news about a new, stable release, but everything says it is for the X9006 only. Myself and others have the X9007. I use my X9007 in Europe and the USA... and have no intention of using LTE in China. If I flash this, will I essentially have the X9006?
I am currently running the last X9006 beta that was OK to flash on the X9007. All my cell networks are working fine, including LTE. If I do this, will I need to perform a special modem flash for baseband... or only if I want a "Chinese" phone? Everything I have always heard is that both phones are exactly the same hardware.

Don't know.

I do not know how it behaves with other countries. I have changed with the German A70 of the Telekom to the free firmware. For Vodafone there is still no new firmware. You could try the PHN software for Netherlands. But if it does not work you can not go back until Vodafone releases a newer firmware than the current one. Everything at your own risk. Just look at sammobile.

Which free firmaware, and how do you flash (change) the firmware?

Don't expect regular monthly updates as the A series is only scheduled for quarterly updates

It came however in the free firmware without Branding already 2 new updates. while Vodafone and Telekom have not rolled out yet. In these updates, the camera and the fingerprint scanner has been improved.
You can load the firmware at Sammobile and flash with Odin.
However, at your own risk.
Somehow Samsung is strange anyway. There are newer firmware in India and Iraq than in Europe.
