[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DuLLaG33:
Don't forget to install SuperSU from the store and disable the knox notifications, or you'll get spammed by them. Here is how: launch the SuperSU app on your phone and it will ask you whether or not you want to disable KNOX: “Samsung Knox has been detected. This might limit root capabilities and cause annoying popups. Try to disable KNOX.”

Select OK. It will then tell you that KNOX has been successfully disabled.

However, after this you should use a root app that can disable/freeze/uninstall system apps in order to freeze most of Knox components (and most of the bloatware of that matter). I personally use TitaniumBackup to freeze the apps so I can revert back if something went wrong, or if there are dependencies needed by other apps that I don't know about.

---------- Post added at 07:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 AM ----------

Just a quick question, I'm kind of a noob when it comes to kernels, why do you want to revert your kernel back?? Are you sure it changed when you flashed CM12? And does the kernel get backed up within a nandroid backup? (I know what a kernel is, but I don't know how bad it can affect the phone if its incompatible)

Your best bet is to do as [MENTION=5038461]CarlM34[/MENTION] said, just flash a stock ROM then wipe everything then restore your backup. (And by everything I mean cache and data, not /boot lol)

I have the UK galaxy s4 i9505, which version of cyanogenmod is compatible?

this:

https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jflte

or this?

https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jfltexx

The first one is for my device but there's not a cm12 rom, the second one looks like it's for the gti9500 which isn't my device but has cm12 roms? Will the second one be compatible with my phone?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DuLLaG33:
the second link isn't for the I9500, as the I9500 has its own (directory?). Its for the international I9505. However the Jflte is an all in one build for CM11 "Soon after the release of CM 11 M3, all Qualcomm-based variants of this device were merged into a single build: jflte" - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Jflte_Info

So this means that if you're not carrier locked then you're most probably a jftlexx. You have to double check before flashing though.

And one more thing, never flash a rom that is supposed to be for a model number "GT-I9500" on a different modle phone "GT-I9505". ( unless the developer of the rom said otherwise.)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiruuu.samad:
Just install app called phone info from playstore[emoji1] it will give you ur code name like jflte or jfltexx.i9500 code name is ja3g so its not of anyway.[emoji41]
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trace6x:
Thanks for the info, still a little confused but my phone is unlocked so I should be good to go with the second link right? I wish Samsung would just hurry up with the lollipop update so I wouldn't have to mess around with custom roms.

phone info app is telling me it's jgedlte, now I'm more confused.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DuLLaG33:
[MENTION=4805865]Trace6x[/MENTION] lol what it meant is that, if you want CM12 then forget about the first link. However the second link maybe your phone's version (thus you need to check). Just do what [MENTION=5484897]shiruuu.samad[/MENTION] said to check.

About the official lollipop, believe me, you want to wait for it a little bit longer. I have an indian INU I9500 and I updated officially but there is still a lot of issues. plus, CM12 have issues too anyway xD
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarlM34:
On the plus side....wireless charging and 128 GB memory......?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trace6x:
I've had a look with that app and it says my phone is 'jgedlte' which has confused me further, the reason for wanting cm12 is because I'm having problems with wifi dropping out on my current lollipop rom

Broken Phone

Hi guys, not sure if this is the right thread or even forum to post this in, but you're a knowledgeable bunch so I figured no harm in asking.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, I originally purchased it in Malaysia, broke it and took it to Malaysian Samsung and had it replaced on the warranty. Fast forward 8 months later I am back in the UK, my phone is completely unmodified, original everything.

I place it on charge whilst I am using it in bed, I notice that it stops charging after a while of me using it, I assumed I must've knocked the cable, so I readjust it and carry on as normal until I put it on the side and go to sleep.

After waking up in the morning it becomes apparent that it didn't charge at all and the battery died in the night, I check the usb is still plugged into the phone and the plug socket, all a-okay. Strange. I then asked for my housemates charger, no luck still wouldn't charge.

A few days later a replacement battery arrives, also wouldn't charge. Must be the USB then surely? Well, I replaced that also, tested both batteries with it and still no luck.

Any idea guys? I'd hate to see an 8 month old phone die for no reason.

Thanks

What can the problem be caused by? Is there any fix?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

It seems like a hardware problem to me, as you've already ran through many ROMs and the problem persists (specially stock). It can be also a problem with the carrier, do you know anyone who has a similar problem with the same carrier?

Hi,

Back signal is usually related to modem, so just flash an updated modem for your device and keep the ROM, no need to flash system, recovery and bootloader.

All the best,

Problem with my Phone - no carrier signal on CM 11 higher than Snapshot M9

Today I learned, that there are indeed many Samsung Galaxy S4 phones around, that are all QUITE different from each other. That also made me realize I've posted my initial question in the wrong thread - the US thread for T-Mobile S4, thought that was for me, as I am on T-Mobile (Austria) myself - but alas ...

I hope I am posting in the right thread this time!

---

Hello everyone!

I have some trouble with my phone (carrier signal gets lost after phone goes to sleep) - Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 (LTE).

Phone Info tells me:

GT-I9505

Device type: jfltexx/jflte

Original CSC: MAX

Bootloader: I9505XXUDMH7

Baseband: I9505XXUDMH7

If any other information is relevant - please tell me.

For the problem: This happens with CM 11 after snapshot M9, I installed M9 and that worked fine - updated to the latest monthly build and immediately the problem surfaced again. Latest nightly builds also bring no remedy for this.

I've wiped the entire phone several times and made clean rom (re)installs, so should also not be an issue with some interfering app.

I am not very satisfied with this situation, as people cannot call me and I have to trigger flightmode or fiddle with the carrier to get the signal back (calling then is no problem - but the signal is lost again afterwards).

I did not find any method to find infos about my modem version or csc - I read on other threads that modem problems could lead to this (but I am still in the dark how to extract that information).

In any case - if you have any ideas on what I could do - please tell me. I have CWM for recovery, so loading zip packages is working well.

Thanks in advance!

Looking at your previous post , you are on a very old firmware.
