No. you mean product code

connect to kies and tell the last 3 letters under firmware info (???)

App issues on galaxy s4

Hey all,

Im having some issues with my new phone. I rooted it using the me7 root method (That doesn't unlock the boot loader). I did this so that i can download apps like dsploit, droidsheep, and faceniff just to mess with my family and friends xD Once the boot loader is unlocked i will flash some ROMS.

My issue is this: Ive downloaded all of the apps i mentioned above but they all have issues. Faceniff runs but never detects anything, droidsheep just goes to a black screen, and dsploit gets stuck on the initializing screen as it trys to load. All of the apps says that superuser perms have been granted when i start the apps but nothing else happens. I also downloaded Shark(the android version of wireshark for those who aren't familiar) and it says that it wont work unless the tcpdump file is moved to a certain directory, so i figured maybe thats the issue that all of the apps are having. The thing is that i cant seem to find where the tcpdump file is installed by default on my phone and i really don't have any other idea as to what could be causing the problems :/ Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

In that case hopefully a re flash or your Rom will solve it.

Try to flash Omega again as "no full wipe", and no mods or kernel flash. And see if that works.

If that works start adding any mods or kernel you wan't one at the time to see if any off them is causing this behavior. I haven't seen any other reports on this.

Google Play Edition S 4 LTE support

I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4 Google Play Edition GT-I9505G, purchased directly from Google, running on T-Mobile's network. One of the reasons I purchased the phone was I understood it would work on T-Mobile's LTE network. Unfortunately, I don't currently live near where LTE is available so I am not able to easily verify this.

There are many sources on the Web that say this phone supports T-Mobile's LTE Band IV (1700/2100), but what I consider the official source, Google, does not list those frequencies for LTE in their specs.

I'm new and can't post links, so insert a dot between 'play' and 'google.'

play google.com/store/devices/details?id=samsung_galaxy_s4

Does anyone know for sure if this phone works on T-Mobile's LTE network? If so, are the specs on the Google page above in error?

edit: I think I figured it out. Under LTE on the Google page, it lists AWS. From what I can tell, AWS is another name for Band IV. They sure do seem to have a lot of different ways of describing the same thing in the world of cell phone frequencies.

ClockworkMod won't access external SD card anymore!

I've just tried to install the latest version of ProBAM onto my I9505 Galaxy S4 via the latest version of ClockworkMod which I installed via ODIN and I received a error which prevented me from installing it via the external MicroSD card even though it was the exact correct size.

I'd already made a Nandroid backup to the external MicroSD card as well as do the full wipe including cache and dalvik and I thought all I needed to do would be to restore said backup onto the phone, copy the ROM to the internal memory then install the ROM from there via ClockworkMod again when I got the following message:

E:Can't mount /external_sd/

I double checked the MicroSD card via my PC and all the files were there including the Nandroid itself so it couldn't have been a problem with the card itself.

I put the card back into the phone and tried to access the MicroSD again, without success.

I even tried mounting the external SD itself via the relevant option but still had no joy.

Can anybody tell me why this happened and how I can fix it even though as far as I know this shouldn't have happened in the first place.

PH S4 Root

Hello guys! Another XDA noob here. I would just like to ask if this version of the Galaxy S4 could be rooted with CF-Auto Root.

It's under Globe, (one of the carriers here in the Philippines). I was wondering since I don't know if this has a locked bootloader or not and if I can safely root it to get a really nice ROM since I'm sick of Touchwiz. :)

I would also like to ask how I can backup my current ROM without a custom recovery since I'm not rooted yet.

Sorry for the super noob question.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
You have a GT-i9505, so CF-Auto Root is no problem.

If you want to flash a custom Rom there is no need to make a backup, you should set up from scratch anyway.

But what you can do after rooting is Odin flash a custom recovery and make a backup before flashing a custom recovery. You won't have a backup of the full stock version but at least you will have a backup of a working situation.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raiken_:
Thank you! So it doesn't matter even if it's locked to a carrier to root? I was thinking of flashing Omega or the GPe Version of it.

So I'm supposed to use CF-Auto Root, Install Custom Recovery, Backup, Flash the ROM, am I correct?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
No it doesn't matter if the phone is simlocked to a specific carrier.

Well can't say for all Rom's but if you are going to flash Omega there is no need to use CF-Auto Root because the Rom is pre-rooted.

Just flash a custom recovery, I can highly recommend Philz, and flash the Rom through the custom recovery.

See installation instruction here for the TW version and here for the GP edition.
