[Q] How can I reinstall the custom Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 rom?

I recently rooted my Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 for the first time. It worked etc, I installed TWRP too that also worked.

The main problem is, I installed a custom ROM. A google play 4.4.2 kitkat ROM. Now I want to go back to the standard touchwiz ROM.

How can I do this im stuck with my telephone for 2 days.

I'm from the netherlands,

Phone information:

Android version 4.4.2

I9505XXUFNB8

Build-number: KOT49H.S001.131204

Edit: now my mobile phone says GT-I9505G how is this possible when i have a GT-I9505. Can i turn everything back? Could you guys please help me with explaining everything as simple as you can. I tried manytimes through ODIN a stock firmware but it always fails.

Reflash

Format and clear everything ( catch/delv)

Ok, but I have no idea which modem file/version use.

If I look on the link to search my firmware version I am lost. I searched the one which I suppose should be the best: the one from my service provider, swisscom. I found the modem: I9505XXUFNB8.

But -of course- this version is not listed on the XDA-modem page.

I installed cyanogenmod version I9505XXUFNB9, should I use its modem version? But isn't it precisely the one having problems?

I found it somewhere on XDA, but should I still use this one?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
First look in the battery settings and see if there is an app using all your battery power (heat = battery drain)

If there is nothing there and the phone is 100% stock, take it back to where you bought it before trying anything that will void your warranty.

SPH-L720 Warranty Prep on MJA

I have an SPH-L720 on Sprint that may need a warranty repair for a screen issue.

I long ago rooted with odin1.85 and CF Auto Root while running MF9. I did not [knowingly] install any custom recoveries or custom ROM's. I simply wanted root for Titanium, Tasker, etc.

Recently I began researching how to unroot, etc. for warranty purposes. I successfully ran Triangle Away to reset flash counter and firmware state. I had to futz with the workaround option to get the device status to show "Official."

Once device status showed official, I installed the OTA MJA update. MJA installed fine, everything appears to be working properly, but device status is back to custom. I did a full wipe/reset, it still shows custom.

Download mode shows binary Official, but system status custom. Knox is 0x0, and I need to keep it that way.

So, what now? To get it ready for a warranty review, should I try to saferoot and TriangleAway the custom system status? Or should I flash an available stock MJA ROM with Odin 3.0x? Or should I do something using Kies (I currently know little about this path)? Or am I lost?

I don't need to save anything on the phone. I basically want it to be a fresh-out-the-box state, with the knox flag intact.

After I get the warranty evaluation (and hopefully fix), I will likely saferoot, so I'm not currently interested in going up to NAE.

Thank you!

p.s.: somewhat clearly, it seems I should have reflashed a stock MF9 ROM before installing MJA, but... it was late and I was tired of burning countless hours to figure it out. :confused: I took a risk that it'd be fine since I thought I had a stock setup to begin. Obviously that didn't work out so well. :crying:

Worth a Try

Thanks for the pointer; I appreciate it. Didn't seem to work for me.

At this point, it's likely that I'm going to use Odin to flash a stock MJA from the SamMobile repository. :fingers-crossed: I'm still wary that will trip the Knox flag.

... and fwiw, I just realized that I didn't post this in the Sprint S4 noob help thread. Argh. Should I somehow request it be moved there?

Hi,

You are starting in the right place with the quoted thread you gave.

You have your own dedicated VERIZON FORUM

It is difficult to know what to suggest to you,because this is the i9500/i9505 forum.

I know the phones are similar,but you should install software from your own forum to be sure it is safe for your phone.

You may be able to use some of the "How-to's" in the first post,but stick with installing the software from your forum.

My suggestion is to read,read,read.

Check out the Development fora,and see if there are any ROMS that catch your eye.

Also,check the Themes and Apps section.

You will also find a million widgets and apps in the market.

Just type in the search bar whatever it is that you want.

S4 driver problem?

Hi again, my SG S4 is rooted and works perfectly, except when it come to understanding drivers, I know it is from the phone itself, as I have problem in two different fronts.

1. When I connect my phone to the computer, it does not recognize the device (i did all I could with my comp, see below) and the problem only solves itself when I reset the phone.

2. When I use sixaxis controller, similarly drivers are not recognized to connect the controller and I have to reset the phone for it to work.

Does anyone has similar problem? Is there a solution?

Just got an S4 (i9505 intl) - came from a Sensation and have plenty of experience with that, just not down with all things Samsung...

I can't seem to boot my phone into recovery properly. I've flashed PhilZ touch onto it and can boot into it via something like QuickBoot, and it works fine. However if I try to boot into it with my phone off (hold power, vol up, home) the Samsung screen comes up with the blue 'booting recovery' text but then the screen switches off again. Phone then does nothing until I release the buttons, at which point it reboots normally.

Is that right? I also have to be superfast getting into Download mode - the warning triangle screen only appears for a split second before going blank, and if I don't press vol up during that time it will again stay blank until I release all buttons at which point it reboots.

Am I just being an idiot or is there something funky going on?

You have to remember that these are not games machines.

hey guys.. I rooted my GT-I9500 and am running on wanamlite ROM 4.0.. and the stock kernel.. recently I started getting crash reports every minute saying "unfortunately youube has closed". I tried finding a solution online, but nothing really helped.. in the end I wiped cache and tried doing a factory reset from recovery (philz recovery). suddenly I realized that it was erasing data on my memory card too, and in panic, I pulled it out manually.. after this when I switched the phone back on, the memory card seemed fine, but the crash message issue hadn't gone away.. so I flashed the official ROM via ODIN and re rooted my phone and flashed wanamlite 4.0 using CWM recovery.. now the SD card refuses to show up.. after hours of trial and error one method I found was going into recovery and mounting the SD card from the option "mounts and storage". but this works only for sometime and soon its back to the SD card not responding.. once it stops responding, gallery and camera doesn't open up (freezes) and the music player has no songs in it.. so I've to go into recovery every time this happens and mount via recovery.. can anyone please help? :(

Hi,

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarlM34:
Hi there,

In terms of battery life this is very user specific.....i.e what you are using the phone for. Are you a heavy user? Are you a light user? Personally I am a light (most of the time) user with a few calls, texts internet and generally get 36 hours with 4-6 hours screen time.

It is really dependent on the user as I said. Also, are you considering custom ROMS/Kernels?? Or sticking with stock?? Custom ROMs and kernels can be tweaked to aid with better battery performance and life. Depends what you want really!!

Not sure if this has helped in any way!! :o
