[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morikara:
Hi, Lord!

Thanks a lot for your answer!

No, I haven't tried them. But anyways, now I'm using pretty nice SlimSaber Rom 5.5.1 which works perfectly fine and battery consumption is much less than with Optimized CM 12.1.

I've used Optimized CM 12.1 Stable version from Nov 30th.

Yes, couple years ago I've been using stock ROM in the US, but didn't see 4G or LTE connection. However, then I flashed my device to SlimKat and last summer I saw LTE in Russia, but still not in the US.

I know, that 9505 should be an international version, but GSM Arena shows, that there are two modifications of 9505. I think yours is like SGH-i337:

4G bands	LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 20(800)
LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 17(700) - SGH-i337

I flashed the latest modem and BL for my model which ends on 'OK1' and there was already embedded 'NON-HLOS' file into the modem file (archive). I saw that odin successfully flashed a 'NON-HLOS' file.

Somehow, my phone refuses to work in 5 GHz mode. IDK if it related to the router, but other devices work in that bandwidth.

Thanks, but it just strikes my eye. Not used to see that.

What do you think, if I'll flash the most recent official ROM for my device? Could it help me somehow? Can I flash any official ROM or it should be related to my CSC code or whatever? Or it's better to change this code to the US code?

Appreciate your help!

Hello everyone,

I have recently acquired a used Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505). The device came up broken and by that I mean ROM-wise. It would turn on, show the samsung logo and then turn off immediately. I boot it up to download mode in order to install a recovery mod, after installing like 2 wrong recovery mods the device wouldn't turn back on. I tried every combination possible. I started thinking that the power button had broken out of the blue. The next day after charging the device it seems like that it turned back on. I tried booting up to download mode to install the CORRECT this time recovery mod (TWRP) but it wouldn't turn on in download mode. What happened was only showing the samsung logo then turning off immediately and then I was once again unable to boot the device. Before you ask, I tried every combination possible and taking out the battery.

Has anyone else experienced this issue and has by any chance found a way to solve this?

If you can't get it to boot to download mode you cannot use Odin.

If you cant power it on at all, or at least for more than a few seconds, you can't interface with it at all.

GPS Issues on Resurrection Lollipop v5.5.9

I'm running Resurrection Lollipop v5.5.9 on my Galaxy S4. I appear to have everything working well but GPS. The problem manifests itself when I launch Google Maps. The Maps app runs VERY slowly and will lock up/freeze 99% of the time. I downloaded GPS Status and Toolbox which also freezes after opening. What's strange is that MapMyRun+ seems to work fine. Any ideas on what I can try to resolve the issue?

Sorry about that

I have a Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 running on 5.0.1 build number LRX22C.I545VRUGOC1. It has been rooted with King Root. I would love to be able to flash a custom ROM, but I've come under the impression that it may not be possible (please correct me if I'm wrong). I would also love to install Xposed, but the device needs to be dodexed apparently and I can't find any kind of tutorial about how to do that or if it will work with my device. I'm not terribly savvy with any of this stuff either, so help is appreciated!

Can't boot into recovery using buttons

Hi, I have a weird situation that I can't find anybody else having.

GT i9505

Running official 5.0.1 from OTA updates (EE)

Baseband I9505XXUHOJ4

I have rooted using CF Auto Root through Odin

Then installed TWRP through Odin

I have installed TWRP Manager from the Play Store, and am able to use it to reboot into Recovery Mode successfully

However, if the phone is off and I try holding Power+VolUp+Home, I see the writing at the top:

RECOVERY BOOTING...

RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

Set Warranty Bit: recovery

This lasts for around a second and then the phone reboots into System.

Have tried battery pulls etc.

Any idea how I can boot into recovery using hardware?

Thanks,

Jono

Never mind - I was holding the buttons down for too long. I'm sure it never used to be this way but now I just release the buttons AS SOON AS the blue text appears.. and after a few more seconds it boots into recovery. Great success.

Thanks,

Don’t think I made myself clear.

Main ROM is TW, and using MultiROM I flashed few 5.1.1 ROMs as secondary ROM. On each 5.1.1 ROMs, I had storage problem which prevents me from downloading apps from Play Store and take pictures. Hence why I cannot download Root Explorer or any other Apps.

Hi , I have a Galaxy s4 GT-I9500 ( as in settings and about device ) (In Download Mode it shows a different product name though SPH-L720) . Honestly , I'm a noob in flashing and all .

My Phone is rooted and has knox value 0*1.

A custom ROM (I dont know the version / type ) is already installed on the phone showing kitkat logo .

previously it had CWM 3 installed.

What I Did is :

Installed Philz Recovery 6.12.8 using odin3 to my SGS4 . It shows a green PASS status after flashing .

Now when i try to boot into recovery mode it only shows samsung logo and " Booting Into Recovery " in short blue text . and that stays forever and not let me into the recovery . and when i reboot without going into recovery it operates fine on the kitkat Rom Already installed.

I want to upgrade my ROM and recovery, I'm just fed up with the current one .

Is it possible to do so ?? does knox value affect flashing ? Waiting for help . Thanks
