Is anyone else having problems updating Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightlies using CWM recovery and Rom Manager?

Philz plays nice with Crash rom but you get a question when you are about to reboot after the flash:

Hey guys,

I just upgraded my s4 to the latest software update (i337mvluamg1) and now my mobile network connection does not work. I am from Canada with Mobilicity as my carrier. I bought this phone from a person which said the phone was unlocked. My mobile network was working fine before the update. I am wondering if the phone was actually unlocked through

an unlock code or just using the service menu hack (which may have been overwritten with the new update).

I am trying to figure out if I do need to use an unlock code to unlock the phone, how I would find out what carrier the phone was originally locked to, as it is required for purchasing an unlock code?

Thanks!

Use this code *#0011# to get in service mode, if you don`t see everything you could flash an older modem, cause Samsung disabled servicemode partialy in the new modems.Once in service mode you can look for a provider simlock.

Hi,

Baseband does not get flashed with the ROM.

Look HERE if you want modems.

:)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliendna999:
Hello

Ok let me explain what I mean again,

In 3g it shows up different modes such as "3g","h",and" h+"

All modes are within the 3g technology I am aware of this.

But when I choose wdcma only, I get all these modes.

I want more control. I want to choose which 3g modes to use.

The 3g mode called "3g" for example, I don't want to use at all. I only want to use the 3g mode called "h+"

I also want to use lte when available.

So instead of lte + wdcma

I would like to choose just lte + hdspa+

Meaning i don't want to use edge, hdspa, or any other 3g mode.

Again, it is beside the point if I will have reception all the time. I just want to be able to control this.

I hope finally my question is clear thanks

And regarding you calling me noob, kantjer didn't understand what I meant, that doesn't qualify me as a noob.

I meant the 3g mode called "3g". Thats when I don't have data.

Not the general 3g. I have data in the other 3g modes.

I think I understand..

So it is not the phone at all what chooses these modes.

The phone just receives what the network is at that moment?

So what if there is lte, 3g,hdspa+ all at once in the same area

What decides what network the phone connects to?

Whichever is strongest?

Cus I will take 1 bar lte over 3 bar 3g any day..

I think there should be a setting for this

Why are there no roms that has the touchwiz features but with the stock android look? Or did I miss any rom in the android development section?

Because Touchwiz (not open scource) isn`t a shell or a launcher but a modified version of pure AOSP android. TW goes very deep and its features require the TW framework and don`t run on AOSP. Read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TouchWiz.

Booting issues

Hi!

I have the i9505 (jfltexx) and I seem to have a problem with either the rooting or the recovery programs...

I rooted it with the CF-auto root method and flashed Teamwin recovery in Odin (all the latest versions)

then i start the phone, go into the recovery and flash the CM10.2 with the Android 4.3 gapps and the ASOP JB 4.3 kernel from this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2297379

then i clear dalvik and cache and reboot, phone boots and works fine, then when i reboot the phone it gets stuck on the Samsung S4 i9505 logo screen and just sits there, if i enter recovery it gets stuck in the Teamwin logo and if i enter Download mode it says the following

Odin mode

Product name: GT-I9505

Current Binary: Custom

System Statur: Custom

CSB-CONFIG-LSB:0x38

WRITE PROTECTION: Enable

then if i reroot, reflash TWM i get into recovery and have to format everything (including data) and then reflash CM and gapps it works...

I'we tried different kinds of recovery and same result but TWM is the only one able to access my external SD...

anny clues to what might be causing this?

Best regards
