Hi,

Your phone has to show "Official" and be stock (ROM,recovery,and kernel) in order to get OTA updates.

If you are rooted,just flash the latest ROM.

Hi there all,

Am pretty new to this whole android scene, I've got the S4 i9500 just rooted a few days ago and updated my kernel yesterday to Adam 1.3.2 So I was browsing this AMAZING site and came across WanamLite ROM for this phone wanted to go ahead and flash this until I saw "Do NOT use Adam kernel with update, it will work but it may break some features, we have to wait for a new kernel sources update from Samsung."

Now since I'm a noob and all I guess I should "downgrade"my kernal before I can proceed with this ROM? for instance can I revert back to Adam 1.1 then go ahead and flash?

Any help / Pointers would be greatly appreciated!!

P.S.: sorry if my English is a bit weird as English isn't my native language.

4 little questions

I have been using I9505 ROMs for about a week now, since they are the only ones with call recording and I need that for my job. Besides that, having the T Mobile bloatware removed is a plus as well. My questions:

-Am I "losing" anything by not using a T Mobile kernel? It was my initial impression that in order to use an I9505 Rom you had to use a carrier-specific kernel, but that does not seem to be the case. In the half hour I have been using the Faux kernel I seem to have pretty fast data and no apparent functional issues. MMS seems a bit wonky but they do come through eventually.

-Does anybody know why call recording does not work when on bluetooth? Not a big deal but slightly inconvenient. Just wondering.

-The notification for an update to FoxHound 0.4 keeps popping up. I flashed it last night for a bit but the font is generally way too small. Any way to turn this off?

-Has anybody that has flashed 0.1 through 0.4 as they were released see any major improvements in either 0.2 or 0.3 that are compelling reasons to "upgrade" from 0.1?

TIA...

Galaxy S4 SCH I9545 will not load after installing new ROM

I think my Verizon Galaxy S4 is Softbricked - I can load into TWRP - I can load into Recovery - I can load into Download - But I can't get any ROM's to work. Even stock. My phone is rooted.

I am running Odin 3.7/3.9 on a Mac through the Wine emulator. I put my phone into Download mode, and it will not come up on Odin. Not sure what to do. Yes I have Kies installed, it also does not see my phone, when it is plugged in.

I can ADB sideload Rom's onto my phone - but every time I load a ROM it comes up successful on TWRP Boot loader - but when I start it up - my screen goes black - then it goes blue - and pink. I can see movement in the background, but it doesn't seem to be working, no Samsung screen, no verizon screen, no custom rom screen. I have tried to unroot it with Odin, but Odin doesn't see my phone. I have the stock rom from this website, but I can't flash it.

I had a backup - but somewhere along the way it got wiped. Not sure when, and I didn't think to put one on my computer. Stupid noob mistake.

Can anyone help me? I have tried to use multiple custom ROM's, but right now I'd just like to get my phone to work. Even if I have to Unroot it.

*Update EchoeRom Verizon 4.3 gets the furthest and actually loads the start up screen and plays music, but then just sits there and rotates.

I had it stock, but rooted. I tried to install CyanogenMod - (Because I have had good luck with it before on other devices) and that is when it started, AND it is when it stopped allowing me to load any other ROM's past the load screen.

I have tried to reload the stock ROM and Echoes ROM, with no success, they both come up sucessfully installed in TWRP - but when it tries to load up, I don't get past the screen where Samsung normally appears. It freezes there.

All I can suggest it to try and return to complete stock via odin.

You need to find a stock firmware for your variant of the phone , that has the same firmware as you have on your phone now , or a later version.

So I have various glitches going on with my S4. For example, I can't seem to ever connect to Wi-Fi, even on my very nice home connection, because it always claims it's "too slow."

Also, there's a persistent notification about a system update that I can't seem to install. (And my screen just blinked black for a split second.)

So, basically, I want to get that SOB installed and then take it from there. I think the problem is most likely my custom ROM. How fix? If I have to undo some things and then redo them, so be it. I hate persistent notifications. I still want to get rid of the voicemail ones for that matter.

Installing 4.3 roms on galaxy s4

hi, i am not new to flashing roms or rooting, i have had a galaxy s2, s3, and htc one and flashed many roms before, but i have been on an iphone for a good few months and decided to switch back to android and get a galaxy s4 that i want to root and maybe install a 4.3 rom or even a 4.4.2 rom. i have read alot about the new bootloader and knox and the consequences of trigging the knox flag. i am a bit anxious about this as ive never had this problem with phones in the past.i am currently on an official samsung 4.4.2 rom which i believe has the new bootloader and knox installed. my question is i am able to root and install a 4.3 rom easily with no problems other than invalidating warranty? as i have read that you cannot downgrade software once you have 4.4.2 installed but i have also seen people say that you can downgrade. which one of these is correct? ive also read that rooting 4.4.2 can cause bricks and obviously void warranty which would leave me without a phone.i have done a good bit of research and i would say that i have relatively good experience with rooting and roms, i just dont want to jump into anything and brick my phone because of being mis informed. any information would be great.

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

Well, you are correct in thinking that you cannot downgrade once you have the 4.4.2 bootloader.

However, you can root it, and you can install a custom recovery.

This of course will trigger the Knox flag and may invalidate your warranty, depending on which part of the world you are from.

But, you will be able to flash any 4.4.2 ROM

I believe that you should be good to flash AOSP roms as well.

Overheating, random restarts

Hello all you good people ,

I recently got a Samsung Galaxy s4 gt-i9505 LTE variant, after i purchased the phone, I got the official upgrade to 4.4.2 , details -

Baseband - I9505XXUFNBA

buildnumber- KOT49H.I9505XXUFNBA

After which I have had the following problems -

1. Random restarting, this has happened twice, but the symptoms seem to have disappeared as of now.

2. Excessive heating - this usually happens when i do video chats with Skype , or group video with google hangouts.

I wanted to know how I can fix this.

My region is the UAE (Middle east)

I was thinking to flashing a new build , from sammobile firmware , EITHER I9505XXUFNC4 or I9505XXUFNC5 since both of them are unbranded, and i understand that I need to flash an unlocked firmware preferably for europe.

So do you think flashing a new official firmware will resolve these issues ? Or is there another way without going through the manual flashing process. I know how to flash it , but im reluctant to do it.

Any advise/comments/rants/jokes on this matter will be welcome.

Thanks

:cool:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
Random restarts can happen for various reasons. It could for example be a misbehaving app. Flashing another ROM might solve the issue but there is no guarantee at all. Since the problem seems to have disappeared I would advise against flashing a new ROM. If the problem starts again begin with a factory reset in recovery first, and use a reflash as a last resort.

Stock TW ROM's are quite heavy and it's normal that the phone gets warm during intensive use like video chats (that uses both CPU and GPU intensively)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rossm1873:
Thank you both for your replies. So just to clarify I am able to downgrade or 4.3 or 4.2 custom with no problems even though I have the new bootloader? I won't get bricked. Am I right and thinking there is no way to root 4.4.2 without triggering knox on this model? I'm sure I read there was a way to not trigger knox on another variant of the galaxy s4 although I could be wrong. Thanks
