Need someone to help asasp

Morning everyone.

Could really use someone's help. I need someone to pull the folder located at data/misc/wifi/sockets/ and upload it somewhere so I can download it. Need this as soon as possible if anyone can help me out. Just use something like Root Explorer and long press the folder, and select Archive.

Trying to fix something wrong with my Wifi/Bluetooth, and I suspect these files are corrupt on my system.

Would really appreciate if someone could do this as soon as possible. Thank you in advance.

those files are sockets - not standard files (reported size 0 bytes in total commander, no size report at all using terminal to list directory contents: ls -l )

1st character is "s" for socket, "d" for direcotry or "-" for standard file

they cannot be moved or copied as standard files.

I would say whatever root cause of your troubles is, those things are not it (unless some process have created them wrongly) - kernel / wifi driver relaed issue ???

Hi guys, I kinda need some help here. I'm pretty new to this device (i9500).

I use terminal a lot. So I have many binaries that I put in internal sd, and set up the path pointing to those in my mkshrc.

But everytime I try to run those binaries in terminal, I got a permission denied error. Even with su privilege.

I've tried different path to point to internal sd,

/storage/sdcard
/storage/sdcard0
/storage/emulated/0
/storage/emulated/legacy
/mnt/sdcard

and still the same. I can read/write normally on internal sd using file manager. Just on terminal, I can't run any binary in there, always it shows permission denied. And what's exactly the real path (not a symlink) to internal sd? Sure I can put those binaries in /system/bin or /system/xbin, but after flashing a rom, it'll be wiped and I had to set it up again. So I prefer to put it in internal sd.

I'm on Euphoria Lollipop rom. Does anyone have an idea?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntaresOne:
Hi mate,

You must run them with busybox, in case of a shell script/binary:

su busybox sh /sdcard/[b]*name*[/b]

Or if you prefer, skip "su" but first give su privilege to Terminal

Real /sdcard path is /data/media/0

Hey!

I'm in Australia.

Just ordered on ebay a second hand Galaxy S4 I9505.

It is unlocked.

Would like to put latest lollipop on there.

I noticed on Sam theres loads of new lollipop releases for I9505. Even some out today!

Is it ok to just go with any lollipop 5.01 for the I9505 is there there something specific i should pay attention to?

For example im noticing words such as "La Fleur" and "Black Edition" which is confusing me cos im quite new to all this and want to make sure I get a firmware which doesn't affect frequencies and whatever else.

Please let me know.

Hello,

i have a S4 I9505 where i flashed the newest 5.01 from my provider 3 Austria. But this is full of bloatware which i dont need.

Is it possible to flash the orginal Samsung Lollipop Firmware over the Lollipop from my provider?

And will it keep all the settings? Or is it better to do a full factory reset?

@MartK87

anything in brackets is carrier specific (carrier bloatware included on top of base - boot animation, apps , etc)

Black Edition is same i9505 but with fake-leather back cover - includes few wallpapers and minor stuff like that.

It is not so strict on flashing only your country FW - I know that whole europe (or even further) was running german (BTU) leaked LP before every other country started to get their official versions.

I remember from i9070 that hong-kong based FW was causing troubles in Europe but apart from that - pick one and flash (out there everyone updated to leaked JB based from Russia ;] )

Not sure about Australia as it is closer to Asia then Europe

@Crazy x

Yes - just flash non-branded FW with Odin.

Your settings should stick - but it is always better to backup before flash (in the event sth goes wrong or system is unstable after flash - factory reset and restore apps from backup)

Oh hi, I recognised you, our Janice dev :)

Well thanks for the reply, I finally solved it. Those binaries in /sdcard doesn't have any execute permissions, and I can't change the permissions in any of the sdcard symlinks. So I use the real sdcard path in my mkshrc, /data/media/0, because I can change the permissions through there and I gave execute permissions to my binaries. All works fine now. Thanks again!

Hi, I have a question. I flashed CM 12.1 (full wipe) and all works well. So my plan was to change a few things in CM 12.1 day by day until it is exactly like I like it and meanwhile flashing back to my old Rom (nameless 4.4.4) for daily tasks. But every time I try to restore the CM 12.1 nandroid (I use CWM 6.0.4.7) from my 4.4.4 Rom it doesn't go past the first splash screen showing Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505. It just boot loops there.

Hello I would like some help with an SGH-1337 Galaxy S4.

My dad recently took my S4 and gave me his iphone (pity) because the bigger screen is easier on his eyes. However, when he first took it, it was already rooted and he couldn't bypass his company's password protection because of the root so I had to install the default firmware for him. However, today he learned that his company's firewall only supports androids with firmwares 4.1 and below while the very earliest S4 firmware is 4.2.2. Is there a way for him to get the S4 on a firmware that's 4.1 and possibly not too tinkered with so it can still bypass the company's email firewall while bypassing the wifi firewall?

Multiple errors - Help recovering the phone PLEASE

Hello,

I am using the Galasy S4 I9505 international version. Stock Samsung OS 5.0.1 Lolipop.

I wanted to install custom Rom as the 2 years of OS support ended.

I rooted the phone using ODIN.

I wanted to backup the current rom. Hence installed ROM MANAGER.

Clicking backup in ROM MANAGER rebooted the phone in recovery but there is no option coming for back and restore or to install new ROM. Tried multiple times but backup option not available nor ROM MANAGER does it

But after this step, once the reboot is done, the SYSTEM UI has stopped error comes. So i uninstalled the ROM MANAGER. The problem still of system UI stopped error persists.

Since CWM was unsuccessfull, i tried installing TWRP ROOT, but i got an error "Package Access Helper has stopped". Due to this, i cant install the software. I tried installing other softwares like Go Launcher, Call log backup & restore but couldn't due to the Package access helper has stopped error.

Now the stock OS is also not working and i don't know how to install custom ROM too. Please help to recover from the situation.

Thanks and kind regards,

Flashing the ROM will not upgrade modem/bl if it is what you mean. Second solution is to flash latest official full package (with the .pit file but not sure) and it is a factory reset...

Flashing an European version is OK as long it is not carrier-specific (I have flashed the SIO/Slovenia OE1 and it is working flawlessly in France)

Hi,

You can try downloading the stock firmware from Sam Mobile and then flashing it via Odin.

Hi,

If you don't mind Knox, you can try using CF-AutoRoot, never failed to me.

Hi,

i9505g shows it's a "GPE" (because of the firmware), try changing your recovery to check if it's not a problem with CWM and the Not Registered on Network error can be fixed with a modem update AFAIK.

Hi,

You can try moving stuff with an USB OTG Mouse, however I'm not sure it will work as you'd have to do this "blind". There are some screen mirroring softwares, you could try using this approach to activate a screen mirroring program (which will likely use adb).

All the best,
