Has anyone tried flashing an S rom on the K or vise versa? I know they can use the same kernels, I have done that one numerous times. I just don't know if you can flash the actual roms. There isn't any difference in the roms except maybe the carrier labels. Please correct me if I am wrong.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Technecium:
There are different apps from each carrier, too. For example, each carrier has its own app store and navigation apps. My guess is that you can flash a different rom but you will lose functionality. I am on olleh and I can connect to wifi hotspots without having to authenticate because my mac is registered to their network. I doubt skt will let me connect.

let us know how it works out for you.

What is the best rom for E300L in terms of battery life and performance?? I am currently on stock 4.2 MG2 firmware
[Galaxy S 4 General] Technecium:
Flash the roms that are available and test each of them for a few days. Then report your findings to help others out.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mohaimed:
i wanna try the advanced stock MF4 rom. but for that do i need to flash the stock deodexed MF4 rom first? cant seem to find the link
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
You need to restore a nandroid of the mf4 rom if you have it. If you don't it is really hard to revert to a lower rom version without making your phone a little screwy.

Also from looking at each rom for the s and the k you can crosh flash the roms. The only thing is that if you have a k and flash an s rom then you won't be able to use the native korean olleh apps and vise vera. But to be honest those apps are crap anyway. You can find bettet ones on the market. All the system apks are the same when it comes to framework etc. They are just branded different. Also I just flashed an s rom and had no problems with anything. Hope this helps someone with the s and k models. I don't know why LGU+ has to be so different. Lol
[Galaxy S 4 General] mohaimed:
i already uninstalled all the korean apps.. they are crap. so you are saying that i can flash S or K roms on my E300L? can you suggest any rom for me probably advanced? i want battery life and performance..i am a noob.. just afraid to brick my phone. thats why i am seeking so many advices.. hope u dont mind.. thanks

i am on stock rooted E300LKLUAMG2 firmware rooted and cofface recovery installed
[Galaxy S 4 General] Technecium:
No, I was referring to firmware for the 300L. Putting s/k firmware on your device won't be a good idea but as I have not done it with this device, there is only one way to find out. Do you really want to know? These have different model numbers for a reason.

I would suggest the latest version of the firmware. Updates that Samsung made to the kernel and firmware will probably outweigh any modifications made in earlier versions that have been tricked out.

Stay on mg2, root it, freeze or dump any apps you don't use and get Greenify to hibernate any battery draining apps.

Honestly, if it isn't for your model, don't use it. I have had 4 Korean phones that have similar models in other countries and versions for each Korean carrier. And every single

time its the same. The Korean models are different and most roms, kernels, etc made for the US or international versions or carriers do NOT work interchangeably.

You either have to wait for something to be put out on a Korean development site like matcl or make something yourself.

Last note. Don't be afraid of bricking your device but don't do anything foolish either. I don't care what anyone else says, when it comes to flashing firmware on Korean phones stick with the right model number. It might boot but I assure you something will not work correctly.

If you don't believe me, then try it yourself. I have.
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
I have a e300 k and I flashed an e300 s rom to check out my theory. If you flash an s or k rom on your e300L then you would sury brick your phone. The only difference between the kt and skt carriers is one serves the northern part of south korea and the other the south. Other than that there is no difference. While the e300L is the same hardware LGU actually does their own firmware where as skt and kt let samsung do it for them.

I tried to flash L and K to my S.

And phone loaded normaly with that fw but no signal was detected and I did not find a way how to change the receiver in some hidden menu. But it was a month ago when I start with this phone.
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
It is kind of a bad thing, but a good thing at the same time. Depending on how you look at it. The good in it is that it means that LG will make sure things get fixed like they should and they take the time and effort to do so. The bad is that someone would have to make a custom rom just for the 300L. As far as updates go, yes, they are going to continue to make updates when they find something is wrong or they want to add things to their software to make it better, or some times make it worse.

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

I had the same problem at first, but then I flashed the 300K kernel on top of it and it worked fine. It is funny that you can use the 300S kernel and the K rom, and the S rom but the K kernel. For some reason you can't use both in tandem ... But like I had said before, their are differences in carrier branding. That is easily fixed by nulling out the carrier inside /system/build.prop. When you do this, restart the phone and the build.prop should fix itself based off of the sim card carrier that you are using. When I was deving for another phone I would do this all time to test things out. It does not however add or take away from the bands that your phone runs on. If you don't mind me asking, but where are you located? Are you in Korea?? I am currently in Korea and I think that is the reason why I was able to have signal. Hope this helps out a little bit.

hi.. i ami in Bangladesh with E300L running stock MG2 rooted and custom recovery installed. i just got the phone a week ago and have been looking for custom roms and kernels. I have seen that E300L has very few development in the Korean Website compared to S and K. you are saying that it will be fine to flash a S kernel in my L version? is it possible to change E300L to E300S?

I have also created a thread for some custom roms and kernels links that i have gathered from different Korean Websites. Can you test the E300L versions for me? i am little noob and afraid that i wont b able to fix it if it gets brick or something..

LTE Call function E300S

Any news on the fix on how to receive and make calls in E300S when LTE is enabled?
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
There isn't a fix. It is a restriction in the LTE network itself. They are talking about adding that feature to the LTE networks but they don't know when that would happen though. And that is a world wide thing.
[Galaxy S 4 General] keieypi:
Thanks for the info, I have a E300S and currently forcing my phone via SKT Hidden Menu to access LTE is there another way that my phone could access LTE signal and then automatically switch to 3G when there is a call or I would make a call. Thanks!

---------- Post added at 01:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

I doubt it very much there's any other way then skt hidden menu app. Why don't you just leave it on automatic ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
The thing about leaving it as automatic while using the phone in another country is the fact that it would more than likely going to default itself to either 2g or 3g. Whenever this happens you either have to set it as LTE all or LTE preferred for the network that your country uses for LTE or 4G. Also setting it as WCDMA will default to 4g, but some carriers in the world still haven't incorporated calls over 4g yet either .. Make sense?
[Galaxy S 4 General] N1NJATH3ORY:
Yeah dude it makes perfect sense, plus you answered your own question lol. Really the carriers are too slow to adopt new standards, so the only option is keep setting it manually, as that's the only way for now....

Best Carrier in South Korea

Which is the best carrier in South Korea for a GS4? I haven't found great comparisons and can't really read Korean.
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
Honestly, either SKT or KT. I am currently in South Korea ( I am American ) and I have KT. They both run on the same network and pretty much the same towers. The only difference is that KT is the network for the northern part and SKT is for the southern part. LGU+ really sucks. Like right now their entire service is out. Cell phone, internet, and cable. It has been like this since 1300 on 16 August. Everyone is furious. LG said it is because they are upgrading the service, but I highly doubt it ... LOL
[Galaxy S 4 General] Technecium:
I have had contracts with KT and SKT. My experience with both were good. I can't say for sure but I am inclined to say KT is faster but I it may have been the devices used at the time. Both offer some sort of VOD, music and navigation apps on their devices. I do prefer the olleh branded services (KT). SK's stuff was kind of chunky.

I have never dealt with LG but they are the underdog and most people around me don't even consider them when getting a new phone. I don't exactly know why, but it is like they are the 'Lee Jeans' of telecommunications.

Sent from my SHV-E300K
[Galaxy S 4 General] Jaistah:
that is odd, in the SKT hidden menu, do you have an option to select AUTO for the frequency or bandwidth? because here in the Philippines whenever there is an LTE connection available it automatically connects to LTE and switches to 3G when LTE is not available. But you have to subscribe first to the Network providers for LTE to be enabled.
[Galaxy S 4 General] JoesCup:
Are both Carriers doing well with LTE-A? That seems to be SK's edge. Also debating between buying in the states and getting just a plan or buying a phone in either the airport or on yongsang.
[Galaxy S 4 General] GalaxyNexusPH:
Hmm my KT phone does not auto switch from 3G to LTE with the auto mode here in the Philippines. I have to force it using the LTE B3 or LTE ALL then switch to WCDMA ALL to get 3G only. Auto mode switches to the connection with the best signal strength so if 2G has better signal than 3G or LTE your phone connects via Edge or GRPS.

Hi I updated too the above firmware yesterday, since the update I'm having some issues for example, when I play videos in the stock player the video plays fine but as it's playing it will stop rewind about ten seconds then it will play again it does it with every file yesterday it would keep rewinding then playing every five mins or so it's really annoying..

And just now i was taking a 360 panorama picture I got about quarter of the way of taking the image everything got deleted and it made me start from the beginning again, same with YouTube videos playing just stop mid way or while playing totally stop with the video count timer at the beginning of the video, it's like the phone reset it's self while performing tasks

[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
The thing about firmware on our phones is that if you are flashing official firmware that is lower or higher than what you currently have on your phone, then you need to flash either through Odin or Kies. If you flash through CWM then you will wind up getting boot loops and other oddities within the system ...
