[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
And what do those two have in common?

The default android download manager. Which sucks, by the way. It doesn't even have pause/resume.

Anyway, I would try and disable battery optimization for both, the download manager and manager UI.

Not Working brother

Hello brother,

I have followed all the steps that gave in the above link. But the problem here is, My galaxy s4 is not detecting in adb or fastboot.

And the thread is mentioned that it works on Gingerbread, Icream sandwitch and Kitkat, But im using lollipop and it has a recent security update(knox) is installed. Due to that security update i cant even go to the ODIN mode(download mode). And not even it going into recovery.

Please help me brother. I ve been not using my mobile for the past 2 months
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Knox does not prevent you from using recovery or download mode.

Unless it also somehow asks you for the pattern lock to enter recovery or download mode.

Hi there

If you linked your phone to your Google account you may be able to remotely change the password or pattern from your phone using android device manager.

Also you can boot into recovery and by lowering on the phone using power button and volume down to launch recovery. Then you can press wipe or factory reset. Warning, resetting your phone using the recovery will make you lose everything in the internal storage and apps too! However things in the SD card should be safe.

Please leave a like if this helped!:laugh:

hey guys

i accidently broke my phone's screen, but only the glass. i've ordered an other one, and i got it today, but i got some trouble with it.

its pretty cool, but... one of its side is black, the other is white. i need the black side, i tried it on, and it did fit, but the camera was hid by the white side's material, so the camera would be faded (ofc the front-face camera)

do you have any ideas about the solution? the white side is perfect tho, but ugh, a white glass on a black phone would be awful i think.

(btw there is a cut for the camera on the black side, but its faded by the white sticker. or is it a sticker? i cant get it off, and that's why i wrote here xd thank you guys in advance)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinySide:
Uh.... that a white version lol notice the logo and keys?

The faded camera is a result of you having it upside down and it's probably lining up with the sensor cut outs lol

If your phone is rooted you can use apps, like FlashFire or Flashify, to flash a TWRP.img file.

You can get the img file from the TWRP site.

Hi guys!

- got i9505 from friend

- flashed TWRP 2.8 w/ Odin

- flashed [JDCTeam][6.0.1][18 November][OMS-Substratum] The Android Open Source Project MOB31K (with gapps and everything)

When booted into recovery or system, every time I lock and unlock my phone the touchscreen is not working anymore.

Restart does the trick but that's obviously not the optimal solution.

Looking forward to hear suggestions.

I'm currently using clockworkmod, but I did previously have TWRP 2.8.x.x installed.

As far as a ROM goes I use the official Cyanogen 12.1 snapshot. The one you referred to is not for our device but rather for an unsupported one. Go to the Cyanogen website downloads page and look on the left side of the screen till you find the correct model and click on it. Once the phone's page opens there are several options, most are self explanatory.

There is basically two ROMs to choose from that are reasonable, the snapshot ROMs. The nightlies work but tend to be buggy and resource hungry. When I used the nightly builds for 12, 12.1 and 13 my phone also ran hot due to high CPU load and RAM usage. The 13 snapshot is better than the nightlies but its not as stable as 12.1 snapshot. 13 has issues with WiFi not working, short battery life and random restarts.

Basically 12.1 is my winner.

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ----------

You can use CF Auto Root from Chain fire to get root
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] missioner:
Start by downloading Odin v.3.x.x. Then go search this forum for the root instructions from Chainfire, like previous post. Download the CFRoot.tar and also the CWM recovery.tar files. If you prefer TWRP get that recovery instead.

Next enable USB debugging in the developer options menu in settings. If you don't have this menu, open "About Phone" and tap "Build Number" until it enables the menu. Connect your phone to your PC and see if Odin recognises the device, if not replace the USB cable and try again. Once Odin sees your device you can flash the root file and then the recovery. It may be necessary to reboot into download mode, Google how to do this.

Reboot your phone into recovery mode, clear the dalvik cache and reboot your phone.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for your phone if it becomes bricked. Follow all instructions in the CFRoot thread, this was successful for me. Make sure you have a fully functional USB cable and clean the USB port on the phone to ensure a stable connection to Odin.
