sgs4 data recovery

Hi kantjer

I have rooted my phone so when i connect via USB to my pc the debugging option automatically starts. The program runs on my pc, but on the second stage before the scanning starts, it says on the screen that a super user request will pop up on my phone. I have deleted the apps off of the super user logs to allow for tenorshare to run, but i still get no request. I have uninstalled and re-installed the program and tried on another pc, but i still get nothing. Im at a complete loss as to whether the program works. Once again if you have any ideas or advice it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hey everybody out there!

I got some questions about CM 11 & the new Trebuchet Launcher and I hope you can help me there:

I just installed SNAPSHOT M3 (for GT-I9505) some days ago; I'm gonna test the nightlies throughout the week.

Had been very happy about more features in Trebuchet; though typing on the new settings did not work (except Homescreen and General)!

Has anyone else such problems, too? (and maybe some tips?)

And another idea I'm thinking about:

Might it be possible to install Trebuchet from CM 10(.2) while running CM11 or is this just the same Launcher in CM 11 & CM 10?

(thinking about the fact that Cyanogen is just about to rebuild the Trebuchet for CM 11 because of the "new" KitKat Launcher 3)

Sorry if this seems to be a weird question; was just a spontaneous, interesting thought I had while thinking about the amazing Trebuchet Launcher from CM 10.1 and all it's personalization features.

Thanks! :)

Download Odin 3.09 (a search will yield what you need!)

Download Philz touch for Odin flash.......tar.md5 version (latest)

Turn your phone off completely and leave for a minute or so.

Ensure Kies is not running as a background process on PC

Open Odin (ensure ONLY Auto reboot and F.Reset Time are checked.

Click AP and navigate to Recovery file you have downloaded and add to Odin

Let Odin check file

Put phone in download mode (power+volume down togethar) then press up when prompted.

Attach USB to PC and Phone

Let Odin see it ID.COM should go blue and Added in the message box.

Click start

Phone should re-boot

DO NOT REMOVE USB CABLE TILL A PASS HAS BEEN SEEN IN ODIN (IT will go green AND say PASS)

Phone won't boot after installing ChainFire 3d

Dear reader,

After rooting my phone for a while and downloading all these apps I came upon ChainFire 3D. I downloaded it without checking and installed it without a big thought about the warnings it showed. Now when my phone reboots, the Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9500 logo appears but then the screen turns empty blank. So I went into recovery and wiped data. When I reboot, same thing happens. So I searched and panicked but didn't find good results. I thought if I use Odin it may work, so I flashed the stock recovery and root and then CWM. Tried again...still fails! So I downloaded the adb thing from Android, opened in cmd, everything fine but when i followed these instructions(from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2362873) it did not when I wrote 'su'. So I skipped to the next one, comments saying mount /system which alredy happened but it did not work. Now I don't know what to do and feel sad and dissapointed at myself.

If anyone has a backup file which I can use to start and then reset or a solution to anymore problems please help!

Thanks to everyone!

Hi,

I don't believe it would be possible to do such. AFAIK those devices has different antennas and different bootloaders, so you can't flash an i9505 modem on it. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong though.

Hi,

First of all I want you to check if you have knox, if you have, then you won't be able to install a custom ROM without losing your warranty. I recommend you trying CM11, it's an amazing ROM. You'll need to install a recovery and install CM11 via zip.

Hi,

You have the International i9505 variant.

Look HERE

Read up on recoveries.

Look HERE and HERE for ROMS.

Best advice would be to READ,READ,READ.

Look at the first posts of the ROM to see what the ROM is about , and would it suit your needs.

The other thing (once you have a custom recovery) is to make a nandroid.(also in the FAQ thread)

Good luck.

Any further questions , just post here.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joery1983:
Are you concerned about triggering knox?

If not you can use cf auto root:

Download the file and flash it trough odin.

Once you've done this your phone is rooted and you could try to flash a custom recovery:

http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/jfltexx

Like philz_touch

Now make a nandroid backup of your phone and efs folder and you're good to go.

Then just search for a rom that you like and which is for your phone read the instructions and flash it trough your recovery
