4.3 tw version ...am i missing something ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varixial:
First post here, have searched high and low and cannot find a solid answer so would appreciate any help. Really is an amazing community here!

I have an I9505 and I have flashed it with a Google Edition rom. It also has CWM 6.0.3.2.

I am wanting to experiment with some other ROMs but they are all saying that I need the latest version of CWM which is 6.0.3.6 I beleave.

What is the easiest way to update CWM to this latest version? The .img file from the official CWM website appears useless. Odin requires a .TAR which I cant find anywhere and the CWM Manager within Android does not support the I9505 so I am pretty stuck right now!

I tried using SGS4 Flasher and have just tried Mobile Odin and both say that my device is not supported. It is something to do with the Google Edition Rom making these programs think it is a I9505G or something?

Should I restored my original touchwiz NAND backup and then try updating CWM?

Yes, you can restore a TW based nandroid and update the recovery, it is probably identiefied as a I9505 GE atm.

I have tired flashing a few custom 4.3 roms. PAC man 4.3 and PA 4.3 versions

but I have no boot animations and my phone features don't work like signal etc.

Do i have to flash the official 4.3 GE rom first?

becuase at the moment I am flashing them over the 4.2.2 I9505OXABMGA firmware.

I have a i9505 and useing latest 6.0.3.6 recovery.

Any suggestions and help would be great.

Hi,

IIRC PAC does not have any boot animation.

Try installing PhilZ recovery.(Link is a couple of posts above)

You need version 5.11 + in order to get the radio installed.

Then, re-install the ROM.

Problem with bluetooth and navigation

My S4 will not auto-connect to my Subaru Impreza 2013. It requires I press the connection 4+ times for it to connect, even then it will randomly drop out. I've read where it is mentioned to ensure that the connect with all visible devices is checked (it is), but the way I read the option is that it should be visible to devices it has paired with regardless of whether that box is checked.

Another problem I have had is with navigation. Sometimes it will not reroute or if I leave the navigation app to look at a message, or answer a call it will start to crash the navigation. I have tried killing the app and restarting (super cool if there is traffic...) but it will continue to act oddly for several minutes.

I'm pretty sure it isn't an issue with my hardware, I exchanged my old S4 with another when I thought it was just hardware issues.

Suddenly "no SIM card"

Hi, sorry for just jumping in here. But, my galaxy s4 i9505, android 4.2.2, baseband version i9505XXUBMGA, has all of a sudden decided to not recognise the sim card its had in it for the past 2 months. Ive rooted this device but not played with it any further as im not sure what im doing. Ive tried the sim card in another phone and it works fine, other sim card from other devices also do not work in this phone. It first started showing no sim a couple of days ago but i restarted it and it came back on and it recognised it straight away but over night it totally stopped working. Ive googled and searched these forums and found no answer. Ive installed stock firmware and put it back to the state it was in when i received it with no luck. Im worried this may be a hardware failure and not a software one. Really hoping somebody is so kind to throw sme light on my problem. Thanks in advance

Hi.

Is there a way to free up space in my S4.

I only have 1GB free

Apps is using 1.68GB

Pictures and Video is using 0.89GB

Downloads is 36.89MB

and Miscellaneous files is 1.87GB

TOTAL for above is ~4.4GB but it still says i only have 1GB left.

Please can you tell me where else most of the memory is?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawke84:
Touchwiz does use a lot of space! if u want to see where your space is going try this app Storage Analyser be careful deleting stuff using this app though as u might break stuff!

1GB is quite a lot just need to be smart with what uses your internal phone space. Try:

a) moving some apps to SD card in settings-more-application manager. tap on some of the bigger apps and see if the option is there to move to SD card.

b) use an SD card for your camera shots (burst will still use internal).

c) move some files around. download ES File Explorer and use it to move some of your downloads to the SD card.

hope this helps. its my first S4 help reply :D
