[How-To] Install Official I9505 Firmware on T-Mobile M919

**You must already have Root Access before you begin**
I regulary receive requests to assist in updating the T-Mobile M919 to the latest I9505 LTE Firmware. Below is a very easy process for doing it yourself:
**Required** FlashFire - Play BETA - PREVIEW
1. Join the G+ community using the same Google account as you're using for Play on your phone/tablet Here.
2. Sign up to receive the BETA versions from Play Here.
- Use the link provided after sign-up to download the app.
Instructions:
1. Download the latest Official I9505 LTE Firmware from Sammobile.com.
2. Extract the System.img.ext4 and Cache.img.ext4, e.g. I9505_5.0.1_OB7_Official_Firmware, then place these images onto your device (use either internal or ext-sdcard).
3. Open the FlashFire app and "Agree" to the Terms and Conditions.
4. Press "(+)" twice to bring up the "Actions" menu.
5. Press "Flash firmware package" then locate and select System.img.ext4. FlashFire will scan the .img which may take several minutes to complete. Press "ok" once the scan is complete then press the checkmark to continue.
6. Press "Flash firmware package" again then locate and select Cache.img.ext4. FlashFire will then scan the .img. Press "ok" once the scan is complete then press the checkmark to continue.
7. Press “(+)” once again to bring up “Actions” and select “Wipe.” Under the “Options” menu select all partitions except “Internal storage” then press the checkmark to continue.
8. From the main menu Tap-hold-drag your "Actions" and place them in the following order:
- "Wipe"
- "Flash firmware package"(system.img.ext4)
- "Flash firmware package"(cache.img.ext4)
- "Process Cache" (Use default settings).
- "EverRoot" (Use default settings).
9. Last, press the lightning bolt then "Ok" to begin the flash.
The screen will turn black then display the contents of your system before beginning the flashes. Once complete your device will reboot and pause on the Samsung splash screen for about 3 - 4 minutes before completely rebooting. Done!
Tip: for blazing fast speed turn off animations from Developer Options and reboot!
Notes:
1. You must already have a compatible custom kernel installed. Recommended Kernel: Lolli-Test-TW-07.02.2015 (source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/tw-lollipop-kernel-v1-t3024631).
2. After flashing I9505 firmware your wifi password may be forgotten upon reboot. To resolve this issue use ES File Explorer with root access enabled to edit the following build.prop line: ro.securestorage.support=true to "false"
3. You may also continuously receive an annoying security message. You can disable this message by using TiBu to freeze or remove the SecurityLogAgent.apk. Thanks to @Nana Ayeh

Completely stock except for root and ausdim's kernel. Runs well on the M919 and can easily be a daily driver.

Nice! will be curious to see battery life reports on this.

After I'll restore the backup do I get OA7 modem and bootloader on my m919 device (like I odin it) ? Why mot just odin this Rom from the Leak thread ?

No the leak's modem will not flash on the m919. You can go flash the leak if you prefer.

No, it won't. You can flash the AP file only and get a mostly working ROM except for wifi.

Thanks guys!! DL as we speak. Looks promising!!

I used 2.8.4.0
The rom is flawless other than the Wi-Fi PW mess up, which by the time I backed up and restored he already fixed. I have to have Wi-Fi calling but I set it up to my liking and the next time I leave I out on business I'm going to restore it. Also there was some security issue that kept wanting me to restart which I'm sure I could have figured out had I played on it a little longer and had service. Awesome job!

Can someone do us others who use PHILZ recovery a huge favor and make a back up on there? if not its okay ill just be patient thanks btw.

No WiFi calling, I assume?

correct

I am downloading the ROM. I am halfway through. I will post my comments! Thanks a lot. I have really been hungry to taste TW Lollipop on SGS4.
EDIT:
The ROM is now my daily driver. Thank you all for the hardwork. I found a fix for the security notice bug. I installed titanium backup and with root privileges uninstalled security agent log and that was all. There was no annoying security alert afterwards.
Camera works fine except dual shot.
The 's finder in the notification drawer is awesome. Mobile data, hotspot, wifi, great battery life. I will update you if I find anything else. I will be more than glad if we get the leaked update in a flashable zip format to make things much easier.

I will upload a new version of the backup with SecurityAgentLog removed. Good find, thx.
As for a flashable zip, I prefer backups as they retain samsung factory permissions and selinux contexts better than an updater script. A good updater script can get close but a backup is a mirror image of the Odin flash.

I can't wait to have that update the SecurityAgentLog removed. I have subscribed to this thread so I will receive an alert once you update it. I have still not had any issues after using it for almost 24 hours. So stable. It's indeed a daily driver. Thank you for your commitment to developing our S4.
EDIT:
I did not see the changelog earlier. Thanks for removing the security violation message.

Sorry for my question...but, am new with kernels, FW, etc on Samsung devices.... I got S4 Tmo...NH7, no root, wifi doesnt work...to flash this Leak Backup first I need to flash Leak Firmware, root (Chanfire o TWRP in Odin), then into recovery restore this backup or with NH7 rootting my devices can I restore the backup? Jej sorry for my english...

great job
dears,
many thanks 4 ur great effort, its real awesome
after install the leak can go back to my previous rom 4.4.4 when i need

HELP: Issues updating rooted device to OOS 3.2.8

hello all,
I have a rooted OP3 running the latest TWRP recovery. Using these instructions I am trying to upgrade to 3.2.8 from 3.2.7. There are no errors displayed during OOS or SuperSU install steps.
But when the phone reboots - it stays stuck at the boot animation. This happens across several attempts. I do not have xposed installed, if it helps. Repeating the above steps with a 3.2.7 image works without issues.
Is there any way I can figure out where the 3.2.8 reboot is getting stuck at? I *do not* want to do a fresh install.
Any thoughts/ Suggestions? I have already posted at the above thread and thought I'd try my luck here too.
EDIT: Can a MOD please move this to Q&A forum. Just realized I posted to Guides, News & Discussion.

That's my last option. But that's as good as starting from scratch. In which case, I might as well postpone until Nougat arrives on the OP3

Flash the new Beta 10. i'm currently using it with root and it works great

Not sure what you mean - without a phone. I was able to roll back to 3.2.7 with zero issues
I was mulling over installing the Beta - but I understand Nougat is due in Jan? Also, is there a process to move to b10 without losing data?

i got the impression that your phone wasn't booting xD
well, every time i flash those betas (9 and 10) TWRP asks me for a PIN that doesn't exists and to solve that i need wipe everything... so i wouldn't count on that

Did you download the full 3.2.8 zip from http://downloads.oneplus.net? I did. And to my surprise, it erases the whole userdata partition, including TWRP backups and downloaded files (including SuperSU zip). So big warning if you try with that zip. I assume that this zip is intended for those reverting from Nougat Beta, to go back from F2FS to EXT4.
My solution was to restore an old TWRP backup that was saved on my PC and then reflash a modified full 3.2.8 zip where the last line in the update script was removed: the one that erases userdata partition. So before flashing full 3.2.8 zip from http://downloads.oneplus.net I recommend you to remove the last line in the update script.

No, I downloaded the Full ZIP from this official thread on the OP3 forums. I was aware of that line though. And from previous experience - the first thing I do when I make a TWRP backup is to move it off the phone. That and I purchased Titanium Backup long time ago. I use it to back up stuff surgically and sync it up to Dropbox every night. The app also seems to have the ability to make a recovery-flashable "update.zip" - something I have yet to try.
Appreciate the heads-up though.

OK. I also use TB, and from now on I use cloud storage :laugh:
After the full modified 3.2.8 zip I successfully flashed official SuperSU 2.79, Xposed v87 and Bluspark r25 kernel. I use F2FS on data partition. It boots and runs fine!
The only thing I'm a bit concerned about is that it stays on the bootlogo (OnePlus logo, Powered by Android) for about 25 secs before the bootanimation begins when booting to system. Much faster before. When booting to recovery (TWRP 28, Bluspark) the time on bootlogo is normal (short). Any thoughts on that?

I wish I had, man. You went a number of steps ahead when your phone went past the boot animation
As a afterthought - try looking through your logs.

I fixed it!
If anyone tries to flash from 6.0 to 7.0 and it wont boot, do what i did //
Use EMUI Recovery to grab the latest running version and let that install if you can, and then update it to EMUI 5.0 on AL10
Then install TWRP on 5.0 (I used 3.0.2.0) from this thread = https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/twrp-3-0-2-0-mate-8-t3521215
After booting into TWRP on 7.0 the first thing i did was decrypt the data partition by going into Wipe -> Data -> Advanced and then changing it in the Change File System option from ext4 to ext2, and then back from 2 to 4.
It will take 20-30 mins to do going back to ext4, this is normal. then it is DONE
This allowed it to be wiped and decrypted for my AL10 model, otherwise you couldnt access the data partition properly. (And just wiping the data partition didnt work for some reason, not sure it just had errors.)
Then I flashed this rom and everything has gone smoothly since. Not a single worry at all in the world after that, no need to reflash any root privs or anything. Props to everyone for their software/firmwares respectively, I own none of this and am just saying how/what I did to get this working even after screwing it up.
If anyone accidentally flashes 7.0 over 6.0 and it wont boot, try this... ^^
EDIT - Changed, something I did didnt work the second time, fixed.

I never flashed Gapps, i went into HiApp and installed the play store through there and then updated it, worked perfectly.
After i reinstalled the rom because of some errors with the camera i was getting i ended up having some problems with google play services but I just downloaded the latest online and installed it, been smooth since.
AND i can confirm, im not getting and "read more" crashes or Messenger crashes whatsoever. Sorry to hear about your problem! If it keeps happening try backing up data, reflashing the rom or flash stock first then reflash it and try installing google play store through HiApp.

Sorry! Updated.
I went and changed it from ext4 to ext2 which took only less than 1 min, and then from ext2 to ext4 which took about half an hour.
Then it worked!

If you try anyways, make sure you make a backup of your current rom before flashing and tell us what you did/results.
If its on a 6.0 rom you can follow the mini guide I had written, get yourself into EMUI 5.0 before you flash it. either by the official updater if you can by Restoring through the EMUI recovery back to stock and updating, or flashing an EMUI 5 rom and getting 3.0.2-0 twrp on there first.

Update : Been running this rom on EMUI 5.0 since release and it is super stable and amazing to run.
Been the best rom ive had on my Mate 8, definitely deserves some more attention. My battery life is about 15-25% better than emui 4.x and the phone doesnt have wakelock and app sleep problems for me at all compared to previous roms ive used.
We just need this rom with Kang VIP and it would be 110% sweet!
Waiting for a release of Xposed to come out so i can test and report back.

ive seen some users installing this rom over the latest kangvip, that way one has best of both worlds

Hi jbmc....how to do? You mean flash kang and then dirty flash HRT? How will have both functionalities?
Also, in OP it is not clear what to wipe and what not to...
"Card brush is not necessary after the success of double-clear, otherwise it may lead to ROOT failure"....what this means exactly?

There is a new hrt b584 version available , I saw it available on the Chinese website but don't have baidu

Thanks a ton for this! Worked awesome!
Since I went from stock 5.0.2 -> 5.1.1 ... I tried not wiping data and it seems everything still works fine! My apps, settings and data are all there =) ... so far w/o bugs.
I installed cyberian 7.1 camera(primary reason for my attempt at the upgrade) ... and seems to be working 100% w/o issue =)

An update, its still working amazingly bug free!!! (w/o data wipe)
Also, *I think* battery life has much improved ... but that may be because I wiped cache and also turned off Stamina mode after reading it sucks battery life rather than help it lol!
I did run into some battery level quirkiness within the first few days of install, but hoping it was just some learning curve the OS had to do w/ battery ... time will tell =)
I do have a question tho, just noticed you state the bootloader/recovery is "locked"? Does this overwrite my previous "unlocked" state and its relocked now? Or does an unlocked state persist? Thanks

No,this doesn't overwrite your unlocked bootloader. your unlocked state is persist.You can check by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* /Service info/Configuration/Rooting status:

Sad update, seems my phone has fallen victim to the "LP upgrade & damaged battery" coincidence =( ... I know its not a fault of ur ROM. Phone works fine from 100% to 50% then a 50% it rapidly drops to 1% and shuts off =/
That being said, ordered a replacement battery kit + back door + NFC tag. Hopefully normal battery functionality will be restored after its replaced =)
Seems to be a widespread problem =/ Its weird because I had LP 5.0.2 on it previously.

Battery replacement went well, back to full expected usage time!

Bro I have tried locked bootloader. But I think GenTarkin installed on unlocked bootloader successful. First you should flash stock.ftf and after go further as first post.

Dirty flash I love you dirty flash blahblahblah
Thanks for this, just what I needed without the hasle as Gen said I just flashed over the rom I was using (mx 8.5), wiped dalvik and that other thing but kept data and now my phones overheating has stopped, installed xposed and my tweaks reinstalled themselves... Because of the dirty flash some of the apps needed updating but apart from that its ask good... Nice one

Zip is updated with Xposed and SU 2.79

There is a problem with Facebook and Messenger app (normal, not lite versions). When my girlfriend is trying to run these apps the screen just is just blinking (black&white) every 0,5 of sec. and nothing else is happening. Reinstalling those apps does not solve the problem.

Can i flash this rom from stock rom 14.3.b.0.310?

[GUIDE] How to flash Android 9 Pie (PixelExperience, Havoc OS etc.)

Hello fellow XDA members and flashaholic people! This is a guide about flashing sGSI or GSI (semi-GSI) Android Pie images on VINCE.
This guide is for VINCE only! Please don't try it on WHYRED it may work or it may not.
First you need to treble enabled custom recovery. I suggest OrangeFox V8.1 https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5/development/official-orangefox-recovery-project-t3807479
You can either flash it via TWRP or extract zip and flash recovery img by fastboot method.
Second you need treble enabled custom Oreo ROM, I suggest Cardinal-AOSP as it's vendor.img works flawlessly. https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5/development/rom-cardinalaosp-t3774232
And third step includes the GSI image. You can find several GSI's here; https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development
After downloading .zip file from any ROM you wanted extract it to get its system image and move it into the either internal storage or SD card. [SYSTEM IMAGE ONLY NEEDED]
I tried Pixel Experience 9.20 and Havoc OS 9.18 builds both booted without issues.
Please note that you need GApps package for ROM's (Except PixelExperience) you can find them here; https://opengapps.org/ Suggested package is Nano one. But if you want more you can go for bigger packages. I always use Mini version of it.
Steps to get Pie working on our device:
1. Reboot to custom recovery (if you have) flash OrangeFox R8.1 treble-enabled recovery. [If you have already have OrangeFox Recovery skip this step]
2. Touch Wipe and wipe /system /data /cache /dalvik and format /data
3. Flash cardinal-aosp ROM to your device You do not need to install GApps as we are going to use Pie anyway.
4. After flashing reboot to system it will directly go into launcher without setting stuff up. Reboot your device to recovery again.
5. Touch install, touch install image and flash the system image you've extracted. Wait for it to complete.
5.1 If you installed other than Pixel Experience please install proper GApps right after. [IF GAPPS WONT INSTALL BOOT THE DEVICE INTO SYSTEM FIRST AND WHEN BOOT COMPLETED PLEASE REBOOT RECOVERY AND FLASH GAPPS IT WILL WORK] After GApps installed go to wipe and do a factory reset in recovery. Reboot the device into system.
6. After you set up your device there is several optional operations you can do;
6.1 Root: You can use Magisk v17.1 or above to get root access. [Flash via recovery, if Magisk app wont appear in app menu you can install it from apkmirror safely]
6.2 Modules: Magisk modules like V4A, Unified Hosts Adblock etc. works. [Tested].
6.3 Kernel: You can use Genom Kernel or Dark Ages Tercero kernel. [Tested Dark Ages Tercero, works]
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND I DO NOT DEVELOPING ABOVE GSI IMAGES OR HELPING TO DEVELOP. IF YOU HAVE ANY BUGS TO REPORT PLEASE REPORT IN PROPER FORUM POST. I CAN HELP ABOUT INSTALLATION ONLY.
Ah, and there is few screenshots i'll share (Pixel Experience 9.0):

Since i did not have any problems about lag or freeze dont need to flash it. Though im not sure about VoLTE but it seems broken for me too. I still wait for official or unofficial Pie ports (which even redmi 2 and 3 got)

Any other bug or issue that you've found in the ROM? Camera problems? Bluetooth or Wifi's MAC changing or reverting to 00:00:00...? Battery drains, memory leaks, crashes? GPS problems? anything?

In few hours of usage i did not encountered very-serious level bugs. Battery was fine and didn't seemed like to draining. Bluetooth and WiFi had no issues for me either. Only VoLTE doesnt works and as may you know thats global issue on it. Did not faced any mem-leaks or running out of memory problems, with freshest install it used up to 1.3 GB mem and with some apps like social ones it went up to 1.6 to 1.9 GB but ROM was overall butter smooth without single lag or freeze. No FCs either, GPS works i guess it was enabled by default on fresh install as usual but since im not using the GPS that much i did not tested it fully though.
As you can guess those are still experimental/beta builds could have issues that i did not encounter. But overall was very fine for me. I'd keep it but it kinda messed "about phone" settings as it goes manufacturer and model both goes by unknown or phh-treble. It's very natural since i installed as GSI image but still bothered me.
Almost forgot; In Havoc OS settings goes direct crash if you touch battery in settings. PE works fine but it has problems with Dark theme beign not applied correctly. Also i did not used or tried substratum or its themes.

Thank you for your instructions. I wanted to install a GSI 9.0 ROM since Pie came out, but other threads with instructions were too complex or convoluted that I thought it was harder.
I would like to make some clarifications on your steps:
* I used the unofficial PixelExperience 9.0 GSI image, as you said. It feels and behaves almost exactly as the official PixelExperience build for our device, but with nicer interface. The image is HERE. Just as a sidenote, the System image comes with DPI = 360, things look a bit too big. To make it look like MIUI or the official PixelExperience build for vince, a dpi of 390 should be set (this can be done from settings > System > Developer Settings > Minimal Width, under the "draw" section).
1. Reboot to custom recovery (if you have) flash OrangeFox R8.1 treble-enabled recovery. [If you have already have OrangeFox Recovery skip this step]
2. Touch Wipe and wipe /system /data /cache /dalvik and format /data
* At this step, I had to make "Format Data", and only then reboot to recovery again, and make the wipes to all other partitions. Without rebooting the wipes weren't possible (it was showing errors while trying to mount partitions). VENDOR PARTITION SHOULD NOT BE WIPED
3. Flash cardinal-aosp ROM to your device You do not need to install GApps as we are going to use Pie anyway.
4. After flashing reboot to system it will directly go into launcher without setting stuff up. Reboot your device to recovery again.
At this point, you must check that the hardware works correctly. Touch, screen, audio, BT, wifi, RIL, LTE or whatever you use. If something doesn't work at this point, it won't work after installing the GSI image.
5. Touch install, touch install image and flash the system image you've extracted. Wait for it to complete.
* In OrangeFox, at this point before flashing the GSI's .img file, the recovery asks for the type of image. For noobs and careful people, "System Image" must be selected before proceeding.
5.1 If you installed other than Pixel Experience please install proper GApps right after. [IF GAPPS WONT INSTALL BOOT THE DEVICE INTO SYSTEM FIRST AND WHEN BOOT COMPLETED PLEASE REBOOT RECOVERY AND FLASH GAPPS IT WILL WORK] After GApps installed go to wipe and do a factory reset in recovery. Reboot the device into system.
6. After you set up your device there is several optional operations you can do;
6.1 Root: You can use Magisk v17.1 or above to get root access. [Flash via recovery, if Magisk app wont appear in app menu you can install it from apkmirror safely]
* When installing Magisk through recovery, the framework will be installed, but the APK won't appear in the app list. It must be downloaded separately from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v6.0.0/MagiskManager-v6.0.0.apk
The following modules are working without issues in my setup:
* Youtube Vanced
* Google Product Sans font
* MagiskHide Props Config
6.2 Modules: Magisk modules like V4A, Unified Hosts Adblock etc. works. [Tested].
6.3 Kernel: You can use Genom Kernel or Dark Ages Tercero kernel. [Tested Dark Ages Tercero, works]
Cast and mirror screen are broken. After choosing a screen to share the phone's screen to, SystemUI will crash. Apps with cast capabilites won't detect Chromecast devices (the cast button won't appear).
Thank you for your help

I don't know what is "MagiskHide Props Config" but is MagiskHide working normally for you?
I'm currently using the Pie "V4 zip" from this thread but MagiskHide isn't working. If it is working normally for you I will try to flash in your way then.
And can I flash 9.0 GSI image over any 8.x roms? Or it must be PE or Havoc?

Can't Show the Image File
After extracting the Hovac OS GSI file (a link that given) can not show Image file it shows file different files in different formats.

This is the correct link, you don't downloaded gsi file (I did the same thing, currently running Havoc 9 ):

sadly i can't flash pie rom because my phone is encrypted. i will try this someday, once i backup my files and do the full format (including internal storage)
i want to try PE pie

Biggest thanks to you as i was in dilemma to try the PE 9.0.
However, the stock camera is so dark so i installed Camera2API, resulting the camera app FC, installed the crashfix Gcam apk i found somewhere in this thread not so long ago to no avail, the camera is still broken. Anyone having the issue ?
TIPS: I tried both Dark Ages and Genom Kernel, the brightness is crazy, i think its the late display driver provided within it: the brightness level is scaled incorrectly, with the 50% on MIUI is 0% in PE, and 50% in PE is equal to 100% of MIUI (the max brightness is at 50% and sliding all over to the right does nothing); clean flashed the whole thing and not using custom-installed kernel at all.

MagiskHide Props Config" its a module that replaces the ROM's fingerprint with a certified one. This way you get ctsProfile: true and basicIntegrity: true, thus passing SafetyNet. This combined with MagiskHide allows me to use some apps that rely on SafetyNet.
After flashing the Treble-enabling ROM (Cardinal OS) you can install GSI system images based on Oreo or Pie.

seems like i need to do a format data in recovery. but right now i cant afford to loose all my files in internal storage. once i back up all my file then i will do the format data.
i wish there is some way to decrypt my storage without formatting
btw, i got my storage encrypted because i flashed miui stable rom

it's work but hotspot doesn't work
in cadinal i already check it's work but in gsi have a problem

And.. what If I installed a Treble ROM and I want to go back to stock MIUI, or a non-treble ROM? What should I wipe before going back?
