[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1dtms:
Great info I'm learning a lot.

Now for radios I do have a few questions. For example this thread mentioned in the 3rd post of this topic ([REF] GALAXY S4 (I9500/I9505) MODEM/RADIO COLLECTION (Odin/CWM/TWRP)

Flashing these modems change the baseband version right?

Like when you go to about phone and see whats changed it will be under Baseband Version?

Also does the modem have any impact at all on which ROM you use? For example if I'm on stock, will the India radio work better than russian? Whereas if I'm on a custom rom will the russian radio all the sudden be better than india's?

And generally when selecting radio, you would always want the newest version and just trial and error from the different regions to see which is best right? Or am I wrong for making that statement?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
Yes flashing modems will change the baseband.

No generally modems are independent off the ROM, if a modem works best with a stock ROM it will also be the best for a custom ROM.

For modems latest is not necessarily the best, they are made for a specific region and provider, but that doesn't mean they can be used in other region/provider situations. So you will need to test, and watch 2 things signal strength and battery use and find your optimal balance.

My experience with S4 modems until now is that I haven't been able to find much difference between them.

I suggest you only start experimenting with other versions if you feel you really need to solve an issue.

Hi again,

I had used Titanium Backup to remove unwanted programs from my I9505. But when I try certain dial codes like *#06# for IMEI or *#0011#, it doesn't work anymore. Any idea which program I need to re-install back? I had backed up each program which I had uninstalled.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
Odin is by far the best and u need not use Rom manager or clockwork mod recovery compulsery

But ya incase u wanna flash a rom or a mod etc u need to have clockwork mod recovery

If u do all things as its suppose to and with proper files it should not harm ur device

Most important do mention ur device variant / # only then we can guide u with the link

I am having one unique problem after another with my I-9500. I have the latest firmware MG1 installed, rooted, and returned to official status using Djembey's "official status" mod. The binary and device status are both now showing as OFFICIAL and my phone is rooted. However, when I click on "check for update" under software update in settings, it doesnt do anything. It doesnt even show me the usual splash screen that says checking/connecting to server etc.

Anyone else faced this issue? Any help would be great. Have I accidentally deleted something here?

I'm looking at buying a new Galaxy S4 on eBay that is "Factory Unlocked I9505" It is being sold in the USA by a USA seller, but it is listed as the International Eurospec version.

Is it compatible with Verizon or can I flash / update something to make it 100% work on Verizon? (100% = voice, data, text, mms, everything)

I don't mind reading if there is a tutorial or something about it. I've flashed ROMS on Samsung devices before, I've entered SPC stuff before, but only when I had a guide to follow.

Hi all,

I have put this ROM onto my phone and its almost almost working the way i want, anyway. The rom i am using is this one from djembey

GT-I9505 GOOGLE SE v1 (4.2.2)

Changelog:

- Pure STOCK

PDA: UEUAMFD

PHONE: None

CSC: OXXBMF2 (29 codes)

Kernel: faux123 - 3.4.0-440244 - CREDITS to faux123

Build date: 27.06.2013

Pre-Rooted ROM - ZIP: Downloads: <<< Android Host >>>

and i have since noticed that in his next release after he has said that he added "Latest KT Kernel included - working MTP" so to my point, is there a way for me to get that added or should i just get the next rom and remove those features? Or is there another rom that would perhaps be better? Also, i have noticed that randomly my screen slightly dims out and comes back and i dont have adjust on, i have it set on full brightness and it still randomly dims. I have had a search through the forum and somebody else posted the same issue but i couldnt find a solution. Any help is appreciated.

Question on gs4 google edition

I just got my s4 ge in the mail today and I had a few questions if anyone would be kind enough to answer.

First, is the s4 ge rootable yet?

Second, if it is rootable, are there/will there be any custom roms for it. Like CM, AOKP, or something like that.

And third will the s4 ge be getting its own section here on XDA?

If anyone can answer any of these questions it would be greatly appreciate because right now I'm really confused about this phone and can't find much info on it or these questions.

Although I hate to admit it I am a noob at this whole rooting. I am also a noob on the forums but I can assure you I am a quick learner. My question has to do with a nandroid backup. I used the obackup app to compile a nandroid of my phone and was wondering if I were to flash a custom ROM, would I be able to basically restore all my old apps and settings and user data onto the new ROM?

Hi,

You can use the advanced restore to put back some of the data,but you cannot restore your phone settings.

In the third post of this thread ,you will find ROM Cleaner,which can help to put back apps,but not settings and data.

Some market apps can restore settings,but there is no single app that will just restore everything as it was.

MF8_DBT with LTE option?

Hi there,

I hope this is the right thread to post my question:

I am presently on MEA CF-rooted. I use a LTE-activated SIM card but MEA didn't give me the network mode option to switch to LTE. Only after I installed Telinfo from Play I could activate LTE. The only drawback is, however, that I can't make or receive telephone calls while LTE is on via Telinfo.

I have the GS4 LTE international version. Does BFM8_DBT provide network mode option LTE and is it working?

Is the app actually telling you you can't access because you're rooted?

AFAIK some app like itv player, BBC iPlayer, veetle and probably Sky also look at your CSC code to determine if you are allowed to watch there content.

Since you flashed a non-standard (for your region) stock Rom you are not allowed access to there content.

During the firmware upgrade process it powered off (I guess battery was too low).

Since this moment it stopped to power on.

I left it all the night charging, with no success: battery seems always discharged.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericlui:
ok, I am using a GT-19505, root with CF-Auto-root, using TWRP recovery

the problem is, when I put a rom in sd card and try to flash it, it will usually says fail (I am sure I get the right version for my device, and I tried many different rom), no matter how many times I re-download the rom, it will says it failed. Even if it success (i.e. omega 7.1 rom), it got stuck in the boot screen forever. I tried to use odin to flash a stock rom, but it also got stuck in boot screen for half an hour before I pull battery.

so far the only successful flashing is a cyanogenmod nightly on 7/14 (I tried other days one, but they all failed to flash). I tried to restore that rom after attempt to flash another rom (omega 7.1), but find out it was factory reset after boot up. I got into the recovery and see that my data partition has 1016154 MB of stuff through the backup option.

I have no idea what had happen, and how to solve it, can someone help?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
Again there is no difference in the phone itself. Just pick the ROM you like and follow the installation instructions for it. Most custom ROM's are pre-rooted so you don't have to worry about that. For most ROM's it's just flash a custom recovery if haven't done that already and flash the ROM from there.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andymihail:
Did you try to use another recovery and had the same problem?

Perhaps you should try to go back to stock then if everything works normal, root again and flash a custom rom.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
Did you at any time format your data partition from TWRP? If so your only option is to flash a stock Rom using Odin and from the stock recovery format data again, do factory reset and start again. As long as you can boot in to download mode you should be able to do that.

To boot into download mode make sure you release all buttons the moment the blue text appears in the top left corner.
