I've just flashed the stock firmware and nothing is changed.Touch keys are still not working.Is it possible to deactive or kill the hardware keys with software? During a reboot it stuck on the animation and i removed battery.Maybe this is the problem.But i think this is a software problem because they don't lit up too.Maybe they are deactived in some reason.Do you know an alternative solution or any idea?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orcam:
Unfortunately I don't have any other ideas, give google a go and see if you can find anyother people reporting this problem. If it isn't working with stock, then I'm afraid there is little hope and it could well be a hardware problem.

Hi there,

I've a i9505 with the optimized CM 12.1 build (the JDC teams one) and one thing that annoy me is the fact that the emoji key replace the return key.

Yes i can do shift + emoji to do a return but I never use Emoji.

New 2 Galaxy S4 (GT-i9505) - Firmware Q

Hi,

I'm new to Galaxy S4 although I know terms like rooting, flashing, firmware etc, I'm a little bit confused about flashing some Roms on my Galaxy. Please be patience with me. I'm coming from Gionee Pioneer where flashing a custom recovery, changing Roms, downgrading from LL to KK or even JB is a blink of an eye and as simply as flashing a .zip file.

Here are my questions and please, if you are kind to respond a little bit detailed according to my points in order to have a clear image on my head.

I have flashed a Lollipop stock Rom via odin, after that i flashed CM 12.1 (Lollipop 5.1.1). Everything is perfect: Wifi, Radio, Mobile Data etc.

so,

1. Flashing a new rom on Galaxy is as simple as put the zip file on my SD Card or md5 file on Odin in the AP field OR should I know/thick/flash something elese like Bootloader, CSC, a.s.o? I''m asking this because I saw Stock Firmware as a single .tar md5 to put in AP Odin, but i also saw Firmware as multi file and I had to thick: BT, AP, CSC, CP & a PIT file.

2. Downgrading from LL to KK is simple as flashing a 4.4.2 firmware from sammobile even I have Lollipop installed? I'm asking this because I saw posts that are asking to flash Modem, Radio & the Rom itself. Why?

3. Simply searching a Custom Rom for GT-i9505 is enough or should I take in considerations other things like Radio, Modem, CSC, Bootloader, etc?

4. Assuming I want to flash a new kernel having a CM 12.1 installed, simply searching for custom kernel for GT-i9505 is enough or should I know something else before I want to do that?

I know that might sound for you as silly questions but please try to explain me.

Thanks in advanced!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbomodder:
1,you only need to use odin if flashing modems-bootloaders-stock Rome or 1st time install of custom recovery or the cf-autoroot. Other wise download zip and flash in recovery.

2.there is a thread on downgrading but its a bit of a grey area. It is possible cto go back to kk.

3. Search either I9505 or jfltexx when searching roms. I'm on an S6 port on your I9505.

4.kernels need to be compatible with your current rim so for Cm12.1 u need a Cm12.1. Compatible kernel. I have a fee roms/kernels on androidfilehost site, search my user name and the S4 and you see a fair few. Good luck and happy flashing

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

Search for a deodex script, I believe there's one in the General or Development forums.

Hi,

Have you tried another keyboard? Maybe Google Keyboard, or Swiftkey...

Hi,

Check the Development forums, there may be a ROM for you.

Hi,

1 - flashing stock firmware you'll need Odin. You'll need to flash the .tar using the program, there are lots of guides out there, check the OP. For custom ROM, you'll need to flash the Recovery and flash zips according to the thread instructions.

2 - recently malybru posted a guide to downgrade, but the overall idea is: do not downgrade when you have Knox bootloader.

3 - custom ROM only needs the recovery and the zip, sometimes you may need to flash a modem to have better stability of signal.

4 - you'll need to find a kernel that supports your ROM. Sometimes you'll find kernel that supports TW, GPE, AOSP and CM, in that case download the CM version of kernel.

All the best,

~Lord

SIM problem with i9505

I have an s4 which was on Tmobile, i upgraded in a shop to a note 3 om EE and had my number ported to the note 3, ever since the s4 will not take an EE sim card, it just says there is no sim inserted, strangely though there is signal showing but when you try to dial out it says not registered on network, i have spoken to Tmobile, EE and taken it into numerous shops, essentially they are useless and dont want to know, i dont think the SIM socket is damaged as it takes every other sim and works fine. I just flashed an EE stock firmware to it but still it doesnt seem to accept the EE sim.

I have also put root checker on the phone which is saying the unit is not rooted properly, if that is so then surely i wouldnt have been able to flash the firmware to it ?.

Not sure what steps i should take now to try to sort this out, the carrier is denying that the problem was caused by them, some have said that it is locked from the EE network, if that was so i would have no service, not an uninserted sim error.

s4 - i9505 kernel for MHL and quickcharge

hi! I have an i9505 and have rooted it to use with a Pioneer Appradio and ARunchained

All works perfectly, except MHL drains the battery faster than it charges via a 2A charger. I've been pointed towards a fast charge kernel as the solution to my issue, but the threads for the head unit are all a couple of years old, so the kernels and roms are all now out of support.

Can anyone point me toward a kernel and rom (do I need a rom too) that supports MHL and quick charge? (i've been warned away from Cyanogen because of MHL) the s4 is currently up to date with OTAOS releases.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gloris:
Just wondering if anyone else has this problem?

When I'm on ANY custom rom, I always get problems playing music. It either skips, stutters or otherwise glitches. I've tried tw based, aosp, cm, it makes no difference. I've tried many different kernel settings and governors etc tried setting the sd read buffer it whatever to many different settings but still I can not find a single rom that has flawless music playback.

The only thing that works for me is the stock rom. But it's so full of bloat. I know I can get more out of this phone but it seems to mean sacrificing the ability to play music. And if I root stock and start debloating I either end up in boot loops or with a ton of fc''s all the time.

I don't use any of the "smart" features like air gestures or any of that and it would be nice to customize the overall theme a bit to make it a plain dark looking phone. But I can't use cm or any custom rom because of the music playback issue. Do I just have a fussy device that doesn't work well with custom kernels?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gloris:
Same issues with all players. Best results with poweramp which is what I normally use anyway. But on custom roms even that has problems. Music either skips stutters or glitches (sometimes it sounds like it's trying to slow down or something, if you've ever taken a recording and run it through a software that can stretch it out, that's what the glitch sounds like, only it only lasts for about half a second at a time).

But again, on stock, no issues.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
It will work. The catch is that TWRP saves the backup files in a directory with a coded name like hdjdddbe7833hdhdj thatbis randomly generates for each phone.

When you install TWRP on the new phone it will create that directory on the sd card and is the only place it will look for backup files. You existing backup file will be in a different directory.

So you have to copy the file to the new directory for TWRP to see it.

Once you get the file in the right place it works fine.
