Hi,

When I was receiving a phone call only the vibration was working with even some lag for the person's number to show up, no sounds, I couldn't slide the screen to answer properly, which means that I was able to slide, but the round icon of the slide could not catch the phone green icon. I could play no sound at all on videos, spotify, alarm, etc. Also when i go to watch a video on Instagram it doesn't load.

Currently settings about my phone:

Samsung S4 i9505 - 4.4.2

Baseband: i9505XXUFNBH

Bootloader: I9505XXUBMG4

rooting a locked in carrier phone

Hello XDAers,

I just purchased this i9505 phone for a lock in period of 30 months from Globe. I browsed here to do this sim unlocking procedure (is it synonymous to make my phone "open line"?). I read somewhere that in order to root this phone, it must be unlocked first. Is this true? This phone is currently on Android 4.2.2 with baseband ver I9505DXUBMG5, kernel 3.4.0-1032504 (Jul 5 KST 2013). As I was about to do the sim unlocking steps, as I inserted a simcard from another network, surprisingly it registered to their network and I am able to send SMS and strangely I cannot make a call. Do I need to proceed to this unlocking procedure before I root or do I proceed to root immediately? I am wondering if it would mess up my phone rooting it without unlocking? Thank you.

Just got this from the Telstra Web Support posted by one of their techs:

Samsung have advised that the Galaxy S4 with Cat 4 (GT-i9506) Jellybean 4.3 update that commenced deployment 14 March has now been halted due to customers reporting problems with their handsets after it is applied. We are expecting a fix to be submitted to Telstra for testing in the coming days although we don’t have firm timelines yet. We have asked Samsung for further details and will post them to this thread when they become available.

No WiFi at all

I am stumped with my i-9505. After receiving an official OTA 4.4 kitkat update to my phone, my WLAN stopped working. I can press the button, but it does nothing. In the settings menu, trying to put WIFI on fails - the switch just instantly goes back to gray.

I the rooted my phone and installed CM 11, but that did not help either. Same problem - everything else works, but no WiFi at all. LTE and Sounds and such work fine.

Things I have done so far:

- Flashed I9505XXUFNB9 multiple times and also flashed the WifiFix from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2192025. I also tried several other modems and radios, changing my baseband many times - to no avail.

- Tried several thread suggesting removal of wpa_supplicant.conf from /data/misc/wifi. There is no such file here.

- Using SQLite to set wifi_display_on to 0 in Settings Storage settings.db (it was already zero).

- Tried using SlimKat ROM too, same problem. Everything else works, but no WiFi.

I've really ran out of ideas. Damn official OTA update breaking my WiFi :(

Currently using:

CM 11 Nightly 11-20140327-NIGHTLY-jflte

Kernel 3.4.0-cyanogenmod-g08b5664

Hey! Many thanks for that link. I've read instructions in the thread, but am still unsure as to what to do next.

I downloaded Android System Info, and it shows that my bootloader is I9505XXUFNB9. The thread instructs: "flash an LTE modem that matches your bootloader - 4.3 bootloader? flash a 4.3 LTE modem, REGARDLESS OF YOUR ROM. (this fixes wifi and sound)"

So where could I find an LTE modem that matches my bootloader? In the modem thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39176955) there is a Wifi-Fix named "I9505XXUFNB8-WiFi-FIX-(NON-HLOS).rar", should I flash that even though the name doesn't match my bootloader?

I had exact same thing happen to me here in Australia through telstra with an ota update of my I9506 to 4.3.

Wireless is totally unavailable, switches wont work, nothing will turn the wifi on.

As it turns out the Telstra OTA update has been suspended as there must have been a lot of similar issues.

When they get their **** together I guess they will release a further update that addresses the issues.

Good luck with your phone. I tried all sorts of things. nothing worked. waiting for new update.

Screen stays on when I miss a call or message

Hello. I own a rooted S4 from Rogers Canada, which used to be on Alpha Infamous rom, an old version like the 5.0 from at least 6 months ago. Everything runned fine until recently. The phone started giving me some trouble. After missing a phone call while I didn't had the phone on me, the screen stayed on showing missed call until I happened to see the phone and pressing power to close it. The same started happening with message at about the same time.

Since I thought I might have installed a dumb apk on gplay that messed something in the settings, I went to get a new Rom. Alpha having no development for a long time, I thought I'd try something else.

I have tried both omega v25 and [23/03][4.4.2][XXUFNBH]< Echoe v18 > [07/02][4.3][NA4]< Echoe v12.1 "The Final Bean">, the latest which I run at the moment. Both gave me the same trouble with the screen staying powered after missing a msg or a phone call.

Since I don't know how to fix it, I was wondering if anyone could help me out ?

I'm no pro at rooting/flashing but I did the wipe dalvik, cache and everything before flashing both of the new rom. I didn't update the bootloader as I didn't remember clearly how or if it was necessary but the rom in general runs great so I figured out it was ok this way. The only trouble I have is with the screen as previously stated. I didn't flashed the modem either as I seem to have great download speed (without testing, simply feeling it).

So as of now, I'm running Echoe V18 with most of the bloatware disabled in aroma installer.

What can I do to fix this? I've tried googling but nothing close to my trouble came as result. Neither could I find an answer here, there's so many result I might have simply missed it.

Thanks for the help!

Hi, I am trying to put kali linux on my Galaxy S4 I9505, using Complete Linux Installer.

However, I came across an error I couldn't fix, not even after searching every XDA thread about it.

My Galaxy S4 I9505 runs Android 4.3 and was rooted using this method: w|w|w.w0lfdroid.c|o|m/2013/12/Safe-Root-Android-4.3-Galaxy-S3-S4-Note-No-Warranty-Void.html

(Please remove the "|", I have no idea how else I can give detailed information, If I am not even allowed to post my root method. And I don't want to spam the forums for 10 posts..)

Rootchecker says my phone is rooted and I able to run root explorer etc.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I downloaded the kali linux image via the Complete Linux Installer app (kalilinux.ext4.img), put it on my sdcard and then pressed the "start linux" button.

As soon as the script tries to create a loop device, I get the following error:

Creating loop device.. mknod: /dev/block/loop255: Operation not permitted
FAILED
Error: Unable to create loop device!

When I checked in /dev/block, I couldn't find a file called "loop255" however I could find files like "loop0".

When I tried to set their permissions, I got the error that I was not allowed to modify it.

When trying to run

# busybox mount -rw -o loop -t ext4 /dev/block/loop0 /system

I get the error:

ioctl LOOP_SET_FD failed: Device or resource busy

I am hoping someone could help me further. I am unsure if the problem lies at my root method (not full root or something? KNOX blocking it? Android 4.3 blocking it?), a wrong busybox location or something, or a kernel that doesn't support device looping. Or maybe the problem is something much simpler.

Hi Guys, I'm not good at jargon so basically a newbie here. Did go through a few pages and still not sure what to do. Here's my issue, OTA for Kitkat 4.4.2 is already available and was so exited to get it. Found out when I tried to upgrade, I got "Your Device Has Been Modified" and it really sucks. Then I remembered I have tried to root my phone (GS4 19505) before which I just followed some directions from YouTube. Was so frustrated since everytime I tried to check using Rootchecker, it says my phone has no Root Access. So basically I just left it as it is and I thought that my phone is still running as stock. When I browse through my device now, it says Custom. Really confused here which my phone has no root access and it's custom. I hope I won't be lambasted that this has already been answered, sorry for that since my head is already spinning for answers and the only thing I want is to have the new KitKat version for S419505 through OTA. Do I need to root my phone and install Triangle Away then unroot? or would Triangle Away work on my issue without rooting my phone? Thanks, I know there's alot of people who can help newbies and would appreciate if you can provide a walk through with me on this. Not such a techie.... Again Thanks....
