[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Paddington:
This may work. Turn your phone off. Boot into fastboot mode by holding Volume Up + Volume Down + Power. Release when you feel the haptic feedback. When this screen comes up, look for the red letters that say "Lock State: Unlocked" or "Lock State: Locked." I think this should do it. This is how you do it on other phones I've owned, so I am thinking it may be the same here.

Edit: Sorry, I completely misunderstood the question. You want to know if it is unlockable, not unlocked. Mod can delete this post.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] NerdsMcGee:
Hey guys, I just switched from my iPhone 5 to my new (and awesome) HTC One, but I have a few questions.

1) Is there a way to use my volume buttons as a shutter with the stock camera app? Whenever I try and touch the screen, I mess the picture up. :(

2) Does Play Music support gapless playback? If not, how do I get my music to show up in Poweramp?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] josh030181:
1) someone would have to map it to the volume buttons if it can be done

2) go to settings then folders and library's and from there you can scan or select what folders you want power amp to use, I put all music in music folder that's the only one I check

My GMail accounts aren't syncing.

I have tried clearing the cache, removing the accounts then readding them; and playing around with the options in Settings->Accounts & Sync.

Note that: not only does auto-sync not work, but in the GMail app going Menu->Refresh also doesn't work.

How do I get this to work?

Thanks for all suggestions,

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _RaZziel_:
I would suggest you try and install either an older or a more recent version of gmail, or try uninstalling (back up the apk first) and reinstalling it completely. I hope that none of this requires root.

It could also be other programs conflicting with gmail so pulling some logs might provide some insight (as explained here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2185929).

If none of this works I would suggest looking further into your problem with rooting your phone since there are very comprehensive guides out there (like http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2). Just yesterday I reset my Desire Z to stock and rerooted it.

It's hard to give further advice without additional information. Does your problem persist no matter whether you use WiFi or mobile network?

Hello XDA Users.

I have a problem.

Today I hard reset my phone. 2 hours later the gears were still spinning. I soft reset it the phone and 5 hours later they are still spinning.

I believe a ROM flash may fix this. Seeing as to how Nokia conveniently locked us out of Navi+ firm its hard to find the ROM bellow.

RM-820_NAM_ATT_US_VAR237330_PR1_1_V3_Black

I've read through some posts and it's believed that the Rogers ROM works on this device to?

Does anyone know where I may find (if needed) this ROM?

Any help is much appreciated! :crying:

I am seriously thinking of getting a M919 but I really hate the slow fw update from carrier.

Does anyone know if I9505 FW will work on M919?

Since the hardware is basically the same, I am thinking if I can just extract the system.img from I9505 and wrap it into the M919 FW. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xxhorseriderxxx:
I'm wondering this as well, assuming that the modem and is not flashed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KillaHurtz:
Exactly. Don't flash the modem or you will end up with a baseband unknown/IMEI = 0.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] macaumen:
So, just don't flash the modem and the I9505 FW will work on M919?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ineffablepanda:
IIRC Steve Kondik(Cyanogen)'s current personal phone is a M919 (jfltetmo), so there should be a LOT of interesting ROMs coming out shortly.

Source: his G+ account (I don't have a high enough postcount to include the URL here)

If you're only interested in official OTAs from Tmo, they will obviously take a while to trickle out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] macaumen:
I am interested in official international ROM but not the official carrier ROM as the international ROM always gets the most updates. So I am looking for a easy port of I9505 FW to M919 since most of the hardware of both devices are the same.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cuāuhtli:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] macaumen:
So, only flash the system.img.ext4? What else in the tar is needed? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
just system.img. you need csc stuff from our cache.img, though

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gypsy214:
This is awesome. So this means that if I buy a tmobile GS4 any roms from the international i9505 work for the tmobile version? Since it is the same phone hardware. So this means that when samsung updates the international s4 i9505 we can have those updates too for our tmobile gs4 am i correct? in a custom rom of course you dont want to flash a none tmobile modem... But like on my GS3, the international already have roms from the leak 4.2.2 and due difference in the hardware we cant port those roms but in this case with the GS4 we can...

Am I correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nbeebe24:
The i9505 is not the international version but yes you can flash its ROMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] macaumen:
So, basically I just grab the I9505 FW from Sammobile, remove the modem inside and everything will be good to go?

That will be great to hear!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] macaumen:
I extracted the I9505 FW tar and saw some files I cannot recognized. Does anyone know what those files are? Should I flash those or leave them? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
depends on how you're trying to go about this. are you trying to build an actual ROM for recovery or TAR for Odin? i'm assuming you're trying to make a ROM. you need just the system.img from that. then pull our cache.img for the csc stuff so you have a signal, etc. then pick a boot.img either from the i9505 FW or from the T-Mob FW. just remember to also grab the respective modules. this is all i've needed to build a full working ROM.

NON-HLOS is another modem file. i believe modem.bin is for standard GSM. NON-HLOS.bin i believe is for LTE. regardless, don't grab either of them from the i9505 FW as they are def modem (Baseband) parts. not sure what tz.mbn is nor aboot.mbn but you don't need them. again you just specifically need system.img components from i9505. you could essentially just pull that and use everything else from T-Mob FW and it will work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] macaumen:
So, following files from I9505 FW

1. system.img.ext4

2. cache.img.ext4

3. hidden.img.ext4

4. boot.img (if i want international kernel)

5. recovery.img (will international recovery work on M919?)

Plus all other files from M919 FW?

Thanks for the help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gypsy214:
Cool but my point is that all quadcore S4 are the same hardware not the octa cored.. You know samsung updates their international ship first ad there here we have to wait for the carrier.

in this case we dont no more because we can just grab an i9505 rom from their leak updates.

So this phone is really a worldwide phone same hardware. not the octa cored.

People have been saying that this phone is not really that much of an upgrade from the S3 in this case I think it is. It doesnt matter if tmobile takes a while on releasing the newest update you can still get it from any other quadcored phone thats have it..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nbeebe24:
I get where you're coming from. I've been flashing the different variants of ROMs since I got the phone. It is definitely beneficial to have so many phones with the same hardware in the development aspect.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
1. yes

2. no (pull from T-Mob FW)

3. no

4. optional

5. optional (not sure why you'd want stock recovery, though)

you only

need

system.img from i9505 FW

not sure how much more plainly i can say that lol boot and recovery are optional.

edit: hidden.img could contain a couple of different things including, but not limited to, carrier branded crapware, boot animation, wallpapers, carrier related settings (subsidy lock), nvitems, etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] macaumen:
So we just use the T-Mobile CSC? Is that correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yes, correct. otherwise you won't get a signal and that would be why.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] macaumen:
I tried to make an Odin tar but it fails to flash into my M919 :crying:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
because an Odin TAR needs to be built in a specific order to work... it has to flash in a specific order. you'd be better off making a zip. i'm not even sure i know the correct order for a full Odin TAR.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] macaumen:
Let me pay attention to the order when I flash the stock original ROM

I will try to build one with correct order and report back. I just try to stay stock. Thanks for the help. =]

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] masum73:
I flashed M919 with system.img from 9505. The device boots up fine.Its generic with no bloatware. Except for WiFi everything else seems to be working. WiFi does not turn on. And there is two notifications that pop up "Detection information" and "Prevention Information" regarding unauthorized access. it asks to reboot and keeps coming back when you try to enable WiFi. I flashed boot.img but that doesn't fix WiFi either. Any thoughts???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yeah, you need CSC stuff from hidden.img like at the end of what you quoted me on saying. that alone can fix wifi issue. i left it out of my first build and had no signal at all plus a force close from SecPhone. added that stuff and bam, worked as it should.

unauthorized access and such could be an app that was installed with system.img if you also have rooted. KNOX and CloudAgent, for example, cause this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] macaumen:
I am just curious. Did you flash an Odin tar or a CWM zip?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AxAtAx:
That would be almost a port over no?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] daviddem:
Its same as MF8 just have different code for different country.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
you need more than just the system.img. you need to pull the cache.img as well. you also need boot.img. then you zip them all together with a META-INF folder which contains parts to make sure it flashes. after zipping, you have to sign the zip. then you can flash.

isn't MF8 newer anyway :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] macaumen:
I included cache.img and boot.img already. It just stuck at the logo. This is how I did it:

1. convert the .ext to .img in ubuntu using simg2img tool found in the forum.

2. use ext2explorer in windows to extract everyting in the .img

3. download the .zip inside this post, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42798412&postcount=2

4. replace system (include cache) and kernel inside

5. flash and reboot

6. stuck at logo :(

I know MF8 is newer but I want TGY CSC. Actually I want to know how to make the zip so that I don't need to wait for other people to release the zip when there's an update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
hmmmph your method here seems solid. although i typically stay on Linux, mount and pull the files from system.img. i doubt that would cause it to not fully boot.

did you sign your zip? i bet that's your problem. so the zip you made isn't actually flashing. it's not booting because you have wiped your /system and there's nothing there to boot to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] macaumen:
I grabbed an existing working zip. Should it be already signed? I need to re-sign it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yeah but i don't think you can take a signed zip and just throw new files in it lol i believe it does need to be re-signed. that is the only place i think could be messing you up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] macaumen:
During flashing, the recovery does "show" that it flashes the system and kernel but indeed it flashes nothing?

I can simply use the tool on this thread to sign?

Does it actually matter what's inside the META-INF folder?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yes lol this is what is read when flashing is initialized, basically. update-binary and updater-script are in this folder
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] macaumen:
I used the META-INF folder from the zip inside this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42798412&postcount=2

It is a zip based on another stock I9505 FW. I suppose it's save to use that folder without any modification?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
maybe. you would prob need to modify the updater-script, depending on what their zip had in it. i'd have to take a look at both that one and yours to say whether or not it should work.

I just came from the LG G2X that I had CWM and switch Roms almost weekly and never had the problem that I'm having now but I feel that CWM may be (at least) partially at fault (although there may be a problem somewhere between the keyboard and chair as well). The problem is now I only have 198MB left on the "Phone" that as of two days ago was just about 9.1GB. In those two days I have installed the OUDHS CWM , made a backup with CWM, installed SuperSU v1.25 , installed the Stock Deodexed/Zipaligned JDQ39.M919UVUAMDB 5/3 , made another backup with CWM and now I'm out of space. With CWM on my G2X I was use to it putting the backups on the external SD card. I take it with the OUDHS version it puts it on the phone somewhere. But I can't find out where. I've looked using ES File Explorer to search root and everywhere else but I can't seem to locate where all the backups are being cached. I'm also concerned that it may be that when roms get installed they don't just lay down on top of the the old rom's space. But I can't find anything in the forum that neither supports nor disproves that concern.
