v2.5

Excuse me, please - I'm so poorly made, it was not necessary to publish v2.5 version. I didn't know that you just finished version v1.9. We had to wait till you again will have free time and you can do v2.5 version. I am very sorry.

SVA, do I need to root if first to flash SVA rom or can I only flash a custom recovery because your rom is already rooted?

The old procedure for root (i9502-cwm-recovery.tar.md5 + i9502-csc-root.tar.md5) failed and I had to unplug the device during ODIN and flash again the rom to recover the phone.

Can afirmative can I flash philz instead of i9502-cwm-recovery.tar.md5?

Thanks

Install and activate SVAsettings Xposed (you need also Xposed framework) and inside it there is an option to choose background color of the notification. Change it to black.

Hi SVA,

I have finally gotten around to downloading and flashing your v2.5 ROM which looks good, I am having an issue with freezing though.

This is how I flashed the ROM on the device.

1. I first flashed stock I9502ZNUCME4, as I remember reading earlier in this thread, that you should be on this firmware first?

2. I had to then flash CWM back onto the device.

3. I installed your zip file through CWM.

4. Cleared cache and dalvik cache in CWM.

Did I miss an important step, which is causing the freezing? The problem is that when the screen goes to sleep, I am unable to wake it up again, as the device is frozen. This has also happened a couple of times whilst I was using the device, and it has also rebooted on its own too. Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. To those who are having issues with the download link constantly failing, I recommend using Free Download Manager.

Thanks SVA, the ROM seems to be working well after flashing I9502CHUCMG2 and wiping data.

Another quick question, do you know why all incoming calls would display as an unknown number? I selected the 10 digit number setting when installing the ROM, which I believe should be right for Australia. We have numbers like 0400 000 000 and 07 3312 3456.

root and take off unicom rom

hello guys,

it's the first time i'm posting here.

i will get the new Galaxy S4 duos I9502 in few days from china(unicom),

right now i'm using an old nice Galaxy S1 i9000 , i didn't feel i need to change it until now but i used many roms, right now i'm using last Slim version.

so it will be a big change from first Galaxy S1 to the S4 i9502 lol

i'm in Morocco, it's maybe late since the phone is already "on road" , but i'm asking if it can work by here and of course if i can root and install a "standard" android 4.2.2 with google play..

ahh another question, does the Galaxy S4 i9500 and i9502 have the same battery..

thanks to/for all.

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

sorry guys, i think i didn't read all posts, i just seen now that some guys tried what i'm asking for but having problems i think to root and make it work with google apps...., i will try once i will get it and share here.

but i still want to know is the I9500 and the I9502 have the same battery.

good luck for all .

Hi all,

I am getting the i9502, pretty anxious about this.

Been reading around and it seems there are contradicting results for different methods.

With my limited experience on Android, all I know at thi point is I should not be flashing my firmware unnecessary (thereby changing the baseband) as it may render my phone useless, right?

My aim is just to get google apps back into the phone, so I can get playstore and the other usual apps to use..

What should I do to root it, and get to that stage?

I found this.. though I am struggling with the chinese

bbs.hiapk.com/thread-4858530-1-1.html

Am all ears, thanks in advance :)

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

Hi all,

just to add.. did a bit of reading.. it seems like.. its just to use Ordin and copy the 2 files.. thereafter it is root.

Is it that straight forward for you guys?

After rooting, what is the step to get Playstore?

Once Playstore is in, everything else will work as per normal i believe.

thanks all
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merkava74:
Just rooted my i9502 and this is the summary:

I followed the steps on page 2 of this thread, essentially using odin to root using the 2 files;

Once rebooted, the optimising apps X of Y started; I can live with that;

As expected, SuperSU doesn't work; I can live with that too, cos all I wanna do is get Play Store, I don't need access to any files in the root directory;

Then I went into recovery mode and installed the Gapps zip file. Installed successfully;

Rebooted, and now I occasionally get a com.google.process.apps has stopped message. I can live with that;

Play Store works perfectly, and I managed to get all my apps without a hitch;

Google Maps work perfectly;

I used Chrome instead of the default browser cos the default is in Chinese;

Caller ID doesn't show, cos the way I recorded the format is different from the way my service provider here (Singapore) sends it. for example, our local mobile numbers have 8 digits. I will always save them with their country code, as I travel frequently i.e. +65 12345678. However, when I receive a call, the number shows as just 12345678, and so doesn't match with the contact in my phone book and thus doesn't show. I downloaded TouchPal contacts, which is a workaround but solves my problem;

And one more thing: Starting and shutting down the phone, I will get the China Unicom logo and music...

Overall, I would say my need for a dual sim overrides the bugs that I am facing above, and so I am satisfied.

However, if there are solutions to the above problems I faced, I would be grateful if someone could share them.

Cheers.

What do you folks think are the odds of the 9502 getting bricked If I tried to flash stock i9500 rom on this? I understand I will most definitely lose dual SIM functionality, but if I don't care about that, anyone have any thoughts or ideas on what may happen?

In case you're wondering why I bought the dual SIM if I didn't care, I wanted the 32GB version of the S4 and this was the only one available :)

i9502 shortcomings (as compared to i9500)

I seem to be having the following shortcomings in the dailer, camera and gallery

Dialer:

As mentioned by merkava74, there is a problem of the phone matching local call numbers to contacts with international number.

Under Contacts,

1. Favourites tab is missing

2. import/export option is missing

3. merge accounts option is missing

4. accounts option is missing

5. contacts to display option is missing

Camera:

1. there are only 6 modes as compared to 12 modes in i9500

2. unable to zoom in all the modes - basically zoom function disabled

3. only one setting option at camera on screen - flash setting icon other than the icon for switching between front and back cameras

4. no settings available

Gallery:

1. no option to view details of photo

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _SVA_:
Manual solution for caller id after install ROM:

Make a backup copy of all contacts or export them to sdcard

Fix in the file : /system/csc/others.xml:

<CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit>11</CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit>

from 11 to the length of the phone number in the your country for example 8

Open - Settings/Application Manager/All and clear data of "Contacts Storage"

Reboot

Recover or Import all saved contact

Now should all work

And (may be) you must try 8 digits caller id length
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] euroclie:
Hello,

I'm using SVA ROM 2.5 as well (good job, SVA, it's working perfectly so far!), and here in France we do also have 10 digits phone numbers (aka 01 02 03 04 05), but when converted using international format, it becomes 11 digits, because the leading "0" is replaced by "+33" (+33 1 02 03 04 05 with the preceding example phone number).

From what I can see, since Australia international code is "+61" instead of the leading "0", maybe you should try the 11 digit caller ID fix (which is the default fix when installing the ROM, if I remember correctly).

The 11 digit caller ID fix works fine on my i9502, so it should work for you as well...

Best regards from the other side of the planet!

The NOOB is back!

Hi Mark,

OK, I am back again as I wanted to try your new rooting process (as the phone is switching itself off a lot more now) before maybe going to the SVA ROM.

Trouble is that I seem to be having problems already :-/. Note: I had already rooted the phone as per your first tutorial and now I believe I have to flash the old stock ROM back to the phone first before re-rooting (where I am on the ZNUAME3 version of the baseband).

In short, when putting the phone into download mode (volume down c/w home button and power button depressed), then pressing volume up (to confirm download mode) and then connecting the USB cable plus running Odin 3.07 as an Administrator ... the Odin programme is not recognising the device (no blue COM port listed). I find this very strange as it seems to point to a USB driver problem ... but, obviously, I had no problem with drivers from the previous root and can still plug in the device where it is recognised as a "Samsung Galaxy S4" immediately.

As a result, I have downloaded the USB drivers again (which took AGES by the way - again, very strange) and got nothing … just a prompt from the windows Vista system telling me that my device needs to install drivers.

Could you perhaps tell me where I may be going wrong? Was I right to attempt to flash the original firmware back to the device (ZNUAME ... tar.md5) before re-rooting via your 2nd method?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarrkDaviid:
Thanks for the help, it is however still saying 'Unknown' when set to 8 digits, 9 digits, 10 digits and 11 digits. I cleared Contacts Storage and restarted after each change, so I am confused as to why this isn't fixing the issue. Is there anything else that you can think of, which could be the issue?

In Windows 7 (and presumably Vista) an icon should appear in the notification area saying that Windows is searching for drivers, and when you click on this, a list pops up. What is the name of the driver that Windows is trying to find / install?

Yes, you should go back to stock before using a different rooting method.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarrkDaviid:
The Caller ID functionality is working for me now on SVA v2.5 with 11 digits for Australia, it appears that the problem may have been with the one specific SIM card. The Optus SIM card said 'Unknown' for all incoming calls, though I have since tried a different Optus and Telstra SIM card, and it is now working. If anyone else has this problem, try a different SIM card.

SVA 2.5 Installation Instructions

I have also written up a procedure on how to install SVA v2.5 on your device, for those who are new to flashing / would like some detailed instructions.
