Hi everyone :D

My phone is rooted and I'm using Titanium backup.

I'm trying to remove 2 apps using Titanium backup from the play store.

When I first remove the app from play store it works.

After a couple of hours I go into play store to check and there's those 2 apps again. I've done it 3x today.

Can someone help me with this issue?

Thanks!

Pro tip = just use a file manager with root permissions and delete it out of system/app or system/priv-app. When I've used tibu to delete or restore things it's caused nothing but problems. I perfer root explorer but there's free ones also.

[GT-i9505][5.0.2] No sound or calls after upgrade to CM12-Nightly

Hi,

I've upgraded my Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) yesterday from CM11 to latest CM12 Nightly (no guarantees, I know). I formatted /data, /cache, /system and dalvik-cache beforehand.

Following the upgrade, no sound on the device (speaker, earphone, etc), and I cannot make or receive calls. The device registers on the network, but constantly drops the connection and indicates "No Service". I've tried booting the app in safe mode to see if that made any difference - it didn't.

I suspect it's a modem/baseband issue, but I don't know which version it should have, nor where to get it (or how to flash). It could be something else (hardware, different software/firmware/driver issue), but I've ran out of ideas.

I cannot attach new link for a screenshot of the device info, but it's here if you don't mind copy+paste: i.imgur.com/aqzLmg1.png

I'd appreciate any help with this, as currently the device isn't too useful as a phone... :rolleyes:

Thanks!

Hi,

It seems a modem problem to me, maybe when you installed latest firmware the modem didn't stick (that happens from times to times), try reflashing it.

Hi,

What do you mean?

Hi,

Unless you're having WiFi, signal and/or sound issues you can keep that baseband ;).

Hi,

KNOX bootloader won't let you downgrade your firmware, do not even attempt as it will lead you to a bricked device. I suggest you giving a look at the KNOX Q&A Thread to check if there's really a big benefit from rooting without triggering KNOX.

All the best,

Hi everyone,

i come from a Galaxy S2, tried a few roms until i sticked to Cyanogenmod.

for a few days i have a S4 now, it doesnt say which model it is, only sgh-i337 with at&t network (plus millions of apps from att and others)

android 4.4.4

baseband version I337UCUFNJ4

i think its a I9505 but it doesnt say anywhere.

an important thing might be, that i will take the phone to europe (austria) and use it there, cause that's where i actually live.

right now i'm still in the us with an att sim card (simlock).

now i'm planning to put the google play edition 5.0.1 on it (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2557353)

but i'm not sure if my order would be the best one.

that's why i wanted to ask you if this would work:

1. these are the instructions for 5.0.1:

Make sure you are using the latest modem and recovery for your variant, TWRP preferred

1) Full wipe

2) Flash ROM

3) Reboot

im not sure how to find out if im using the latest modem/baseband, the I337 confuses me somehow, can you give me a hint or tipp with that?

Well after making sure i'm using the latest modem, I would put CWM recovery on it cause that's what i used all the time (should work as well as TWRP) or the other way, CWM --> modem

After CWM I would likely do a backup before continuing.

After i clarified the modem and CWM I would go ahead with full wipe - flash rom - reboot - root - sim unlock

could you tell me if this should work or should i change something/do different?

did i forget anything?

thank you very much in advance!

Lollipop upgrade, warranty info

Hello :)

I'll try to be short and precise with my question.

Intro:

I already owned two smartphones, S1 and S2 and flashed booth of them without any bigger problems. None of them had warranty so I didn’t worry about that.

Now I bought myself a used, few months old S4 I9505 which has a valid warranty and I don’t want to void it but I want to install Lollipop on it, I tried to search for the answer but I wasn’t satisfied with the results.

Question:

Is it possible to upgrade to official Samsung lollipop rom without losing the warranty and keeping Knox? If the answer is YES, which rom do I have to use?

Additional information

The phone was bought in a Slovenian Mobile Phone Shop by the previous owner, but for some reason in the phone details page you can see United Arab Emirates, I don’t know why. I tried OTA updates, but no new updates. I also tried using Kies3, same thing. Detailed information about my phone and rom you can see in the three attached pictures.

Thank you all in advance for helping me, I really appreciate it :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

As was already said, it's very likely a modem problem, to make sure it sticks on your device, flash it a couple of times.

Hi,

That may be inconsistencies on Lollipop firmware, well, a thing you can try doing is increasing animation speed: go to developer options and set Transition/Animator/Window scale to 0.5 or off.

Hi,

AFAIK if you install the stock firmware for your device via Odin you'll have no problems! Just check on SamMobile the latest firmware for your model.

Hi,

Check SGH-i337 forum, I'm not sure if GT-i9505 ROM works on your device, as it's AT&T variant. If you were using a common i9505 it'd be the correct steps, but as you're with another variant I'm not sure...

All the best,

Also, if I have a backup of an old ROM and I want to restore to it do I just do a memory wipe and restore to the backup? Do I need to reinstall the original rom before I do the backup? When I tried to restore a backup all it would do is boot into a black screen and all I could do was hit okay for every application that was crashing.

Here comes the Noob everyone :D

Been flashing nexus devices for years, so I know what I'm doing. Have a Galaxy S4, Sprint tri band edition (SPH-L720T), and the warranty ran out yesterday (it's a work phone so to collect if the phone crapped out, it had to be stock, but that's over now). I have an unofficial Dirty Unicorns build that I want to flash, and need some insight first. I've already rooted it, and installed the latest Philz. Made a complete backup of my stock setup. Now I want to flash my dirty ROM, but I need to make sure there isn't a step I am missing. Need to know if anything else needs to be done to the boot loader or anything before I go ahead and wipe everything and install this ROM. Anyone that can give me any insight would be helpful. Be as technical as you like, because I'm experienced enough to know what you're talking about.

Also, the ROM I'm flashing is 5.0.2 and I'm on 4.4.2, so I want to make sure there isn't something that needs to be done to prepare the device for lollipop.

The closest I've ever come to flashing a Samsung device is my son's old Galaxy tab 7, so I'm not too savvy with all this just yet. As far as I've read, Sprint variant doesn't have a locked boot loader or anything so I should be good, but I don't want that to be bad info.
