IrDa - Infrared not working i9505

Hello!

I have a SGS4 with this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2544474 and Alucard KERNEL

After having formatted the Phone and fresh-flashed the ROM the IrDa is not working anymore.

All the apps that use IrDa (remotes) are causing the phone to reboot as soon as I hit a button on the screen.

What I really would avoid is to re-flash the rom...I often end up stuck in boot logo and I need to re-format. re-flash and reinstall almost everything ( I do have Titanium Backup).

Everything else works fine

Where to start in order to troublshoot the issue?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

Firmwares are HERE

Before you start , can you tell us what the firmware is that you currently have?

You have given us the baseband/radio , but what firmware is listed in "About Phone"?

:)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

Perhaps , someone could correct me , but isn't IrDa dependent on TouchWiz?

:)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theluke79:
Hi,

I've been using the same rom and IrDa was doing just fine, I THINK that if I format & flash the IrDa will be working again, point is that I want to troublshoot it, since it seems absurd to me the need to reflash just to fix IrDa.

Tx!

Persistent Wifi Problem

Sorry for the very late reply, droidstarxx. My Galaxy S4 is not modded. I rooted the phone, installed a custom kernel and reinstalled the modem drivers to see if that would fix the problem, but it didn't help at all. Also, I tried a some other suggestions that I'd read, such as turning off the wifi power saving mode. No luck with that either.

I restored the phone to stock, and my service provider sent the phone back to Samsung technicians for repairs. They replaced the antenna, but the problem remains!

Anyone got any ideas?

Just as I thought.

You have the knox bootloader , so you must flash an equivalent , or newer firmware to the one you have . ( XXUFNC4 )

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

It seems that you have one of the latest firmwares already on your phone.

The thread link I gave you earlier ,HERE does not have anything equivalent or later.

Perhaps [MENTION=4975115]samersh72[/MENTION] can help .

You might be able to get a pre-rooted version HERE but it will trigger your knox flag , and may affect your warranty.

Or you could search off-site for the latest firmware yourself.

I just want to flash a stock rom thats free of any ""EE" apps etc. I assume that the fw I should be looking at is in post 2 of that link/thread??? I mean do I need to look for the specific to mine which is XXUFNC4???
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

Yes.

However , there is no equivalent or newer firmware in that second post.

You cannot flash an older version ,because it will not work.

I think that there is a later generic version which is XXUFNC9.

That is probably the one you are looking for.

But [MENTION=4975115]samersh72[/MENTION] should be able to confirm that.

I rooted my phone (galaxy s4 9505 4.4.2) and i've istalled titanium backup,triangleaway,xposed,greenify,gmd,sdfix and other root apps.

Hi there,

Titanium Backup I believe requires root?? (I don't use it) So you would need to root your device again in order to restore a back-up. I am happy for someone to tell me I don't know what I'm talking about and correct me if I am wrong:p :angel: :eek:

If you are planning on experimenting with custom roms then a custom recovery is essential. This will also be needed if you want to change your toggle images via a VRTheme.zip??? Or if brave enough decompile/recompile the SystemUI.apk and change the images that way also??

I have always used Philz recovery but you could always try TWRP...There are links in the OP (first post) also!

S4 i9515 - How to root and unlock region

Hi everybody!

I follow xda forum for some time now, but I never needed to actually post anything, because I got everything I wanted through reading and searching the threads. Therefore, being a total noob regarding posting, I ask you all for patience and help in the following matter:

Last week, I bought a Galaxy S4 in France, but I only noticed the the region lock warning sticker after I left the store and I was on my way to the airport to come back to Brazil (my residence country). I didn't have time to activate it first with an European SIM card, and thus I found myself at home, with a device that won't accept my Brazilian SIM card. In order to try and solve the problems, I searched the forum and googled a lot, finding some possible solutions (like region lock away by Chainfire). The problem is that I just can't find specific explanation to my device model, which is a GT-i9515! It's not even listed in the forum or in this thread as an S4 variant!

All the specs of my device - as far as I can tell - are exactly the same ones as the i9505, so,

you think I could use CF-root and then region lock away?

Both of them work for the i9505.

Thanks in advance for the help!
