If you want to get an S4, make sure it's the Qualcomm variant. Dev support is more active.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jandroidian:
Oh, already had/have an S4. It's the AU Optus variant. I think it is a Qualcomm internals version. This is a recycling/re-use/repurpose situation. The S4 is running Android 6.0.1 now thanks to the jflte, TWRP teams and the mostly-helpful, dedicated XDA community which is great. Very glad to get rid of the Samsung/Google/carrier bloated Android 5 ROM. I'm just wanting to grab SMS history and maybe a couple of other bits off the S2 that the S4 has replaced. Then I can wipe the S2 and maybe reuse it for another purpose, even if that's just for my crawling-age niece to hammer at the screen so it plays fun noises ?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Your first mistake was using Kingoroot. TWRP needs to be flashed using Odin on your PC. Download an Odin-flashable TWRP image from twrp.me.

After getting TWRP installed, factory reset your device to get rid of Kingoroot, then flash Magisk or SuperSU.

Thank you guys. The link is very usefull.

I'm sorry to ask again for my motherboard issue, but :D

-There will be problems using my friend's motherboard (he broke the lcd panel)? is necessary to "clean" the IMEI? is aliexpress motherboard choice more reliable?

-Once (and if) my phone will work again with another motherboard, i'll loose all my data into internal memory? Is there a way to restore them?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibuprophen:
As long as the motherboards model numbers match, then you should have no problem with switching them out.

The clean IMEI/Serial number is only needed so you can activate service.

When you try to activate service for any device, with any provider, they will as for the devices IMEI/Serial number (which is the same) and if it's still in the system for another carrier, you can't get service until it's released from the carrier its with.

If your old motherboard can't be powered up to obtain the information inside it, then there's no other way in obtaining it.

Then why haven't you tried it?

MicroSD cards are capable of a lot of things. For example, they were used on some older HTC devices to unlock them so those devices could be rooted (a gold card). However, simply inserting a MicroSD isn't going to magically fix a device that is totally dead. You need power, which the board isn't receiving.

Kernel

Hi.

I'm new in this forum and new with the S4 i9500.

I rooted my phone and installed Custom Rom called Arrow (from this site).

Everything seems to be working fine, but i just wanted to know if i should change the kernel to something else.

I mean, maybe some kernel will make better performance or whatsoever?!

Sure you can change the kernel, but don't expect wonders. A different kernals can also make things worse. Stick with default for now, start reading and decide after that.

wrapping my head around s4 I905 Google Edition

Sorry for the noobness;

I have an i9505; ever since it was announced, I was looking forward to flashing my i9505 into a GE.

Some initial roms have appeared. I just wanted to better understand some of the terms thrown around to make an informed decision; specifically ROM, Kernel, CSC, recovery and bootloader.

The ROM seems to be pretty similar between all those who have thrown their hat into the ring: jamal2367, janjan, samuel2607, Hazanwar, m3dd0g, and maybe a few others. Is there any major difference between these ROMs? Q: Shouldn't all these ROMs be identical? They all have the same origin, and all are trying to go for the pure/vanilla GE experience

I think each of the ROM modders are using different kernels, or kernels slightly modified. Again; what is the official kernel for GE? is the "stock kernel" for GE the same "stock kernel" for all S4 i9505? My device is Model number SGH-I337M; Kernel v3.4.0-518267; is this the GE kernel? I know kernels can be tweaked to overclock or undervolt a phone, getting performance or better battery, respectively. I'm trying to turn my i9505 into a GE clone. Which kernel should I be looking for?

Some people have mentioned CSC. This is where I'm completely lost. From what I understand, CSC is the way phone manufacturers classify and differentiate phones model for specific countries and specific carriers. Is this correct?

Either way; how does CSC help or hurt my goal of fully emulating a GE phone? Would I need to change the currrent CSC in my phone to a second CSC? Would this only help future OTA updates?

also; someone has mentioned recovery. Should I interpret that as the bootloader? are these things related, or the actual same thing, just referred differently? how does the bootloader (and/or) recovery help me clone a i9595GE?

Hi guys,

I am wondering before I do this has anyone done this before. I am rooted with super su backup is twrp, custom rom and running xposed. I basically want to use snapchat which i can't log into on my phone I've read up about it and come to the conclusion I need to unroot my phone uninstall xposed maybe even use a factory image and reroot with magisk as the safetynet has been tripped also my knox has been void when I rooted it the first time around. I've never used snapchat before so I don't have a backup of which I can go to. I am hoping one of the members here has gone through the process and can shed some insight to it
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
1. Uninstall Xposed.

2. Download Magisk 14 from the Magisk forum.

3. Install Magisk using TWRP.

4. Enable Magisk Hide in Magisk Manager.

5. Select Snapchat in Magisk Hide.

6. Reboot

Follow those steps and you should be good. Magisk will automatically remove SuperSU, which is why you don't need to totally remove root. Changing the ROM you're using also isn't necessary. You will not be able to use Xposed at all if you want to pass SafetyNet, so do not reinstall Xposed.

Ignore Knox. There's no way to reset the Knox flag once tripped, and SafetyNet doesn't check Knox anyway.

Using A GT-I9506 here running Lineage 14.1 with TWRP 3.1 and found that audio only comes out of the left headphone. It’s probably a hardware bug but no idea exactly how you would address that.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil Muir:
I may have agreed with you but also tried running Samsung 5.0.1 stock on the same phone and the audio comes out of both headphones so it's not the jack but most likely a kernel issue with TWRP.

1. Make sure the radio firmware is from an Android 4.2.2 ROM. Install an Android 4.2.2 ROM if necessary.

2. Root using CF Autoroot. Note that this will trip Knox, but given the age of these devices that should no longer be of importance.

3. Find a copy of RegionLock Away, install it, and run it.

4. If an Android 4.2.2 ROM was installed in step 1, install the latest stock ROM.

There's no guarantee the above will work, but it's both far easier to do and a far more robust solution than using the service menu method.
