I flashed with CMG2 (5 files, including .pit), Then the 007V7 mod ROM. So far so good.

Repartitioned and internal SD expanded. But can't flash black to other ROMs.

HI SVA,

I am trying to learn to make a custom rom for 9502 but I met a problem.

I download CMG2 firmware and get the system.img, I forked kitchen git and patch it to support 9502(maybe failed?)

Root init.d deodex zipalign and other stuff like disable sound, enable data app.

But when I flash this rom, my phone fail to startup. It go to totally black(I am not sure black or just not boot) after the china unicom logo showed.

I can't make the adb logcat. Do you have any idea about this problem?

BTW:

after I flash that rom, when I try to reboot from the recovery(phliz recovery for i9500), there is not an warning for "disable offical recovery recover" nor "root".

I used the offical boot.img for the rom and unoffical recovery from phliz.

Hi SVA

Very sorry to trouble you.

I met a problem and need for you help and thank you very very much.

I am trying to learn to make a custom rom for i9502 but I met a problem.

I download offical CMG2 firmware and get the system.img and cache.img(for csc files), I forked kitchen git and patch it to support 9502(maybe not succeed...)

I made common stuff in kitchen like Root init.d deodex zipalign, disable startup sound and enable data app support, then build up the rom with kitchen.

But when I flash this rom, my phone fail to startup. It go to totally black(I am not sure black or just not boot) after the china unicom logo showed. I tried to wipe and flash other roms and my phone startup right, so I am sure it's the problem of my custom rom.

I can't make the adb logcat because it's just too fast to go black. Do you have any idea about this problem?

BTW:

after I flash that rom, when I try to reboot from the recovery(phliz recovery for i9500), there is not an warning for "disable offical recovery recover" nor "root".

I used the offical boot.img for the offical rom and unoffical recovery from phliz.

I attach my last failed updater-script as blew (I just use kitchen to build up the uncompressed offical rom without any other operation as root, deodex..etc).

SIP Calling on the GT-i9502

Hi guys!

Is anyone else trying to enable SIP calling on the GT-i9502?

I'm currently working on the smali code to find out why it's not working. What we known is that it is disabled by default on the GT-i9502, but it can be easily enabled by changing a couple of lines on PhoneFeatures class.

The problem is that even enabling the sip calling feature, the phone is not capable of dialing a sip number. I narrowed down the offending code in the CallController class, but it is a rather complicated to find out what is going on there, anyone trying to do the same to join efforts?

Hi Mark,

Sorry for the late reply to your post - been busy with work.

In short, the term "forced shut-downs" was a bit misleading ... as the apps aren't closing down, more that the phone just switches itself off with the blue notification LED flashing. The only way to rectify this is by taking out the battery - obviously a pain as I sometimes miss calls/emails etc. as I haven't realised that the phone has shut-down. (NB. I did do the aforementioned file rename of for the "optimisation of apps" and this worked perfectly).

So, could you tell me please if you ever experienced any power shut-downs with your previous ROOT? If not, then I may try to try your new ROOT method if you think it would help?

If this is the case, could you tell me please if I MUST flash the stock ROM back to the phone before I do this OR if a factory reset is the best way to go here (I am not bothered about re-installing apps etc. and all contacts are backed-up to Google)?

P.S. I am on the I9502ZNUAME3 baseband version.

Display of Chinese Cities

I'm on SVA Rom v2.5. Incoming calls display the names of Chinese cities such as Yunnan Lijiang even though my network is nowhere near China.

Couldn't get pass installing CWM. I always see the stock android recovery whenever Odin finished flashing and it reboots and that I reboot it to recovery mode. Since I have experience flashing Galaxy Grand, what I did was upon Odin reporting success and the phone turned off, I pulled the battery and immediately boot into recovery. There I saw CWM. I'm posting this in case others can't get pass this step too

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faisal:
Since there is no sticky page on this thread, I thought I should share my experience in case it helps someone else. Some of this is repetitive and is based on my experience and need. Corrections are welcome.

1.	I bought the 9502 via a friend from a US based reseller.

2.	Booted it up with its native ROM and selected English

3.	Enabled “Developer mode” via Settings -> About Device and scroll down to the "Build Number." – pressing it multiple times, which then enables the developer mode. Click USG debugging on

4.	Download Samsung drivers and installed them on the PC

5.	Used Odin 3.07 on PC.

6.	Turn phone off. Then get the phone into download mode (power, home, volume down – all at once; confirm by pressing volume up (this screen was in Chinese)

7.	Select

a.	i9502-cwm-recovery.tar.md5 in the PDA box

b.	i9502-csc-root.tar.md5 in the CSC box

8.	Confirmed that autoreboot and F. Reset Time are clicked

9.	Start. It takes a few minutes to complete and you see the PASS message in green.

10.	Once rebooted, disconnect from PC, exit Odin. Then re-connected the phone to the PC and once it appeared as a device, copied UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.30.zip on the internal SD card (I think it can be done via the external SD as well)

11.	Turn off phone; boot into recovery (power, home, volume up)

12.	Select install zip from sdcard; choose the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.30.zip

13.	This rooted the phone.

14.	For caller ID issue, I downloaded I9502ZNUAME4_Rooted_JUFENG.rar and flashed it via Odin again. This is a pre-rooted rom so I am not sure if I could have directly flashed this via Odin instead of the steps above.

15.	Then used instructions in post#4 of this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2347106

16.	Using Root explorer, renamed the existing “system/framework/framework.odex” into framework.odex.bak and copied the supplied framework.odex into its place and fixed its permissions.

17.	Then went to system/csc and copied others.xml on to the ext card for and edited it (using Text Editor, from within Root Explorer) to change the <CscFeature_RIL_CallerIdMatchingDigit> parameter from 11 to 8 (for Pakistan, 8 works fine since the trailing 8 digits are unique for virtually all situations).

18.	Renamed the existing others.xml to others.xml.bak and copied the edited file above into its place. Fixed permissions

19.	Go to Settings>More>Applications manager>all>contacts storage (not Contacts) and clear cache, clear data.

20.	Restart phone

Working perfectly for me. No FCs. Caller ID works for calls and SMS. All important stuff that I use (Epocrates, Sygic, synch with Exchange email) work without any issues. This ROM has all Chinese stuff removed (except one, which I think is an app store). This does mean that the recovery I have is the stock recovery. I think if you need CWM, you can repeat steps above and as I said above, perhaps you can directly flash this rooted rom via Odin but I was not sure so I took the extra steps. For those worried about flash counter etc, this is something they need to check.

Hi,

I may be wrong, but if you got a clone this may not be the right place to clear your questions.

Depite it will not be my choice this is not a question regarding what kind of phone you chose. This is your business only.

This thread is for Original Samsung S4 dual chip produced by Samsung for China Telecom, as well as they did with Note 2 (yes, China also has this dual chip version original from Samsung).

So all solutions presented here was developed to this phone only. Some of them can't even be applied to another single chip S4, so they will be useless for your phone if it is a clone.

Several guys here can tell you how to check your phone and find out what you really have on hands as well as where is best place to get replies you are looking for.

Ok. The PIT file goes in the PIT box (look above the PDA/CSC/BOOTLOADER tabs) You'll need this as that particular ROM as it changes the partitions. If you need to go back to a different ROM after you'll need to get the original firmware first and then flash via Odin.

CSC goes in the CSC tab

MODEM goes in the MODEM tab

CODE goes in the PDA tab

BOOTLOADER goes in the BOOTLOADER tab

Also, VERY important!, as you are installing a PIT file the re-partition tick box will become ticked. Usually for Odin flashing this needs to be unticked. Do not untick it when you flash this firmware!

Good luck!

Oops! My bad! Yeah you're right. The phone tab is for the PHONE/MODEM labelled file.

If you need to flash any other firmware which isnt based on I9502ZNUCMG2 then you'll need to flash the original samsung ROM for that version first using Odin. I9502ZNUCMG2 has a different partion layout than older ROMS so to avoid breaking the phone its probably best to flash the original stock ROM first and then flash the CWM image and root before installing a non I9502ZNUCMG2 based ROM

If it is possible, I can hide the icon for the second sim card on the status bar, and only show the status of the primary sim card including nework (LTE, or H) with signal strength, and with a clean UI as other S4 variant, like S4 google edition?

I don't use internet through the 2nd sim card, just receive call infrequently and get txt messgaes. The default status bar of I9502 takes lot of spaces by showing both of the sim card status.

A perfect solution for me, if it is possible that we can have a google edition rom for I9502? :D
