thank you so much for enlightening me. i was using the wrong modem that time. i flashed the correct one and my problem was gone, i can now search 3G signals :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermainZ:
You're talking about the Odin options, right? PDA = all of the (stock) things: ROM, kernel, ...

I think you're a bit confused though. Custom ROMs/Kernels are just flashable zips. Kernels can also be flashed via Odin (PDA) but not custom ROMs.

Nandroid backups can be performed from CWM as you described, yes.

Restoring factory settings, if I'm not mistaken, will format /data. System packages won't be affected.

Hi,

Custom ROMS contain either stock or custom kernels.

These can be changed anytime.

It all gets reverted to stock,when you flash a stock ROM.

You can change modems anytime as well.

Look HERE

Make sure you choose the correct one for your phone variant.

Is there anything what cannot reverted to stock?

Hard reset wiped root

Hi Guys,

My S4 was rooted on 4.2.2 using one of Djembys pre-rooted stock roms. I had an issue with battery drain on Saturday and finally decided to do a hard reset after alot of other methods failed. It worked perfect but its seemed to have wiped my ROM. SuperSu is installed but the binary error comes up and closes it immediately. I did the root checker thing and it says my phone is not rooted. I tried to flash the lastest superSU and and older one 1.51 (which others reported fixed their similar issue) but it is still not working. What am I wondering is:

1.Can I install Djembys firmare again to fix the issue?

or

2. Go to 4.3 rooted without tripping KNOX flag? (if so how) :)

I've tried a load of times to update the radio using odin and although it says its been successful, when I reboot its still showing the old details.

Grateful for any advice!

just noticed above someone mentioned old bootloader, perhaps my problem? Is there a way to update
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarlM34:
You are not the only one that has issues with this....Not sure if it's Odin being tempramental or something else:cyclops:

1. Turn your phone OFF manually and leave it for a couple of minutes.

2. Odin 3.07 works best for me.

3. Open Odin and Select Phone and select Modem you wish to flash.

4. Manually place phone into download mode (Power+Volume Down.......then volume up when prompted)

5. Make sure kies is not running in the background (Odin hates it)

6. Connect phone to USB and let Odin recognise it.

7. Hit start and leave you phone alone till a PASS is seen in Odin.

8. Hopefully you base band has changed

9. If this fails try again using a different port

Good Luck:good:;)

EDIT - Just seen you edit....If you are flashing a GSM modem to OLD bootloader it should be OK......The only way to get the new one is via flashing new firmware in Odin or via OTA.....If you are KNOX free, personally I would stay this way for now

Put you phone into download mode....If you have reference line to KNOX then you are on the new bootloader...No KNOX reference...OLD bootloader.

Thanks again for your help. It seems I have the old bootloader (no mention of Knox in ODIN mode. Can anyone point me at a modem that will work properly?

"Importing" system apps and modem

Hello guys, I've yet another question (actually, more like questions) regarding my GT-I9500.

Currently, I have the ZIP files for both Nishlight and Thunder Universe ROMs (latest versions, of course). I'm interested in moving over to them from Arrow ROM v11 (current one, duh :eek:). However, they are completely debloated - which is indeed good and all (more storage and free RAM, hopefully :fingers-crossed:), but I happen to utilize some preinstalled apps like GMaps, Hangouts, S Memo, and WatchON. As well, I have the MK9 modem with me, but the last time I flashed a modem-only package, I got a fake IMEI.

My questions:

1. Would it be fine to backup said system apps using Titanium Backup and then restore said apps along with my user apps on the new ROM? I know I could redownload everything over the Play Store, but I have a a fairly small data cap - 750MB - and where I live, good WiFi hotspots are pretty hard to come by. Plus, it would take a lot of time to manually reinstall each app :rolleyes:

2. Is it safe to flash a "higher" modem/baseband than the current build number (i.e MK9 over MK1 or MK8)? Although this would apply only to Nishlight - Thunder Universe has an MK9 build number, so I figure it would be A-OK.

Sorry for posting this here and not in the respective dev thread, as I haven't reached even 10 posts as of now :o

Network problems - No Network - still getting calls

Hi there

I have an I9505 with modelnumber GT-I9505G running android 4.4.2 with baseband I9505XXUBMGA (Kernel 3.4.0-faux123-KK44-GE-custom buildnumber KOT49H.S001.131204)

As stated I now have the Google rom running on it, and everything seems fine but one major issue - I loose network. The icon is "empty" and it says "mobile network not available" when trying to make a call - it is not all the time but quite anoying as it is very often.

The funny thing about it is, that I actually can receive calls when the icon shows no network and one time I also experienced that I made a call with connection and as soon as the call went through it says I lost network - but the call was not lost !?!

I tried several things like changing between LTE/3G/2G as prefered. Changing network provider to automaticly etc.

I have searched but not found anything like this on the WWW - a lot of network issues but not like this. Does anyone have an idea of what is wrong and even better how to fix it ;O)
