hey thanks for the link vmagic, i finally finished downloading it but its in .ZIP format and Odin can't seem to detect it. tried changing .zip to .tar but didn't work, should i totally convert this to tar first?

EDITED:

Nevermind, i just installed it via CWM and install the deodexed Fix as well, there's a big difference with the UI performance. No lags at all! NICE! thanks again!

[Galaxy S 4 General] Jaistah:
Nah.. its impossible to get a signal here in the philippines for DMB. I'm trying to see if there's a way to change frequency so it could somehow get a different wave like china short wave or something.

Nope, no s4 with 3gb ram. It might be the leaked galaxy note 3 which has an octa-core 2ghz proc and 3gb ram. But its only a rumor.
[Galaxy S 4 General] vmagic:
This is .ZIP just install CWM.

If you want use Odin:

I am trying to configure 3g/lte network my e300s. We use band3 in Dubai, so I chose LTE B3 Preferred. When I do that, it connects to 3G only and doesnt switch to LTE. If I put LTE ALL, it will connect to LTE but wont switch to 3G. I am on me7. What should I do?
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
I would leave it on lte all. That is going to be your best bet bro.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jattal:
Thanks man

But our LTE doesnt carry voice, other phones switch to 3G when we talk.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Jaistah:
Does any body know how to disable or remove the Video Call icon in our Korean S4?

not sure if there is a process that we can disable in the background for that.

Root Problem

Hi there i just rooted my phone today SHV-E300K, after i rooted my phone did not work properly it restart always and sometimes it hangs, how to restore it back can someone help thanks..
[Galaxy S 4 General] Jaistah:
How did you root your device? What Instructions did you follow from. Here?

Also please provide your baseband and current firmware version, you might need to downgrade and first or upgrade depending the way you rooted/flashed your device.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Icatek:
Frequency

Dear mates, compliment for the forum, my name is Giorgio, writing from Italy and using a SHV-E300S Korean imported last firmware, last kernel, rooted BUT I found frequency 1.6 Ghz... what about yours?
[Galaxy S 4 General] haron09:
Yes i follow the instruction here,

here is my

baseband E300KKKUAME1,

Kernel Version 3.4.5-645203

OS 4.2.2

by the way what is the difference between E300S,E300K and E300L??

And can i use the firmware of E300S to my E300K unit?
[Galaxy S 4 General] pilottyung:
I had same problems before. Read my recent posts & hope it helps.

Marketing Value hit for $12 billion in terms of money and a total of 6% drop... It's said been said 'probably because of low S4 sales.' 10 million sales announced recently. How can this be correct...
[Galaxy S 4 General] Yaoshi_2000:
Which rooting method did you use?

I just purchased a brand new Galaxy S4 (SHV-E300S) from SK here in Korea. It's currently loaded with Android version 4.2.2. The baseband version is E300SKSUAME1 and the build number is JDQ39.E300SKSUAME7. I would like to root it in order to delete the bloatware. I've read through this forum several times, yet I'm unsure which rooting method is safe for my situation. It seems that you were successful with a phone that shares the exact same specifications as mine. Would you please specify (or direct me to) the steps that you had taken to root your phone. Were there any issues? Is there any indication now that your phone was "tampered" with?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Arviter91:
Just rooted my 300S. I know the troubles so I'm going to help you my brother.

Just follow each step specially STEP 2!

Good luck! :)

Has anyone solved the 80 characters issue?
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
You can use the root function in Cofface's CWM. All it does is install Chainfire's SuperSU 1.30.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Yaoshi_2000:
Still looking ...

Thanks for your prompt post.

Incidentally, 3 of the 4 links in the cited post don't work.

You're in Las Vegas. How did you come into a Korean SKT variant of the Galaxy S4?

I really would like to hear from someone here in Korea who has successfully used their rooted SHV-E300S with SKT.
[Galaxy S 4 General] GalaxyNexusPH:
SKT has 80 chars, KT has 140. We fix that issue by modifying the CSC in /system/csc/feature.xml.

You need to change <CscFeature_Message_SmsMaxByte>80</CscFeature_Message_SmsMaxByte>

I set mine to 160 chars. You need to be rooted to do this and you need a root file explorer.
[Galaxy S 4 General] marbulas:
Thx a lot and sorry for my late responsivity...

I edited and now uploading this.

init.d script has really simple code(only 3 lines) so you can add the source and binary in your kernel to work :D(I think it could be better for someone)
[Galaxy S 4 General] marbulas:
I made an simple some of init.d tweaks for better battery and performance...

It will not disturb lots of internal parameters about the schedulers related in CPU governor...
[Galaxy S 4 General] marbulas:
I updated main post.

And I changed a little rule in this post for the people who want and I hope it could be helpful for..

When the links downloading latest new firmware appeared in this thread, I'll look up and update it on the main post.
[Galaxy S 4 General] morph80:
Is the lack of voice over Lte due to incorrect voLTE settings?

I checked those in KT menu and they are the Korea carrier settings.
[Galaxy S 4 General] marbulas:
I don't know what you mean properly... if you mean not working VoLTE, it relates with the recovery.

Do this : Flash stock recovery -> Flash full stock firmware -> flash cwm recovery -> root -> flash stock recovery.

I think this will solve your problem.

But... do you really want to use VoLTE?

It works only in same carrier members and the quality of calling is too awful.

I'm in SKT and I used HD VOICE like VoLTE as you know but I gave up.

I think carrier companies don't have any responsitivities about their poor services :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] Jaistah:
You can easily edit the frame.xml to change 80 character limit. Use root explorer:

Goto /system/csc/framework.xml

Look for maxsmsbyte and change 80 to 380. Save changes and reboot phone
[Galaxy S 4 General] Arviter91:
Got that fixed also. Thanks!

On a side note. Has anyone experienced a a little unresponsiveness when rooting their S4? The scrolling speed on my S4 kinda slowed down to a point that it feels heavy sometimes and the screen responsiveness is jittery, sometimes buttery smooth and sometimes laggy. Can anyone help me on this issue? Used Cofface CWM and Chainfire SU and on latest ME7 firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
Do you have a lot of background apos running? I had that problem when I first got the phone. But now I don't. So try removing background processes from your downloaded apps.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Arviter91:
Checked it but there barely anything running on mine....
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
Ok then go into CWM>advanced and wipe the dalvick cache. See if that helps. If not, then I would suggest restoring your nandroid backup. If that still does not fix the issue then I would recommend flashing the rom again. Making sure that you perform the data/cache reset. After you flash the rom or any rom or restore for that matter it is always good practice to wipe the dalvick cache. Some times the little thingd left behind can really mess with your system.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Arviter91:
Wiping the dalvik made a difference. Thanks man! My phone is back to its buttery smoothness!
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
No problem. We are always here to help out anyway that we can. Knowledge is power and a helping hand always shares that power.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Icatek:
frequency

Dear Sirs, unfortunately I haven't got an answer yet.

My E300S is last firmware/kernel and rooted but the frequency is 1.6 even many rumors were telling should be @ 1.8

Is is a kernel limitation? What about yours.

Thanks in advance for the answers.
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
It is going to show 1.6. It has one quad core at 1.6 for things like games and extreme multi tasking and one quad cire at 1.2 for better battery life. Hope this answers your question.
[Galaxy S 4 General] darkrance:
It was just a rumor apparently. Or, 1.8 is overclocked.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Arviter91:
Excuse me sir darkrance, have you or anyone tried using the DMB app? I was kinda curious if it worked...

P.S. I'm also in the PHL :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] GalaxyNexusPH:
I googled DMB and we don't have DMB here in the Philippines.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Arviter91:
It would be nice to watch the NBA finals (other than LEAGUE PASS) on the S4. Anyway thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
The 1.8 wasn't a rumor. They do consider our phones to be a 1.8 cpu because the two arms do work in tandem. As far as the DMB goes, Korea is pretty much the only place that it will work. Unless you can find an app that will trick the phone into thinking it is connecting to a DMB source but in reality it is catching over the air signals.
[Galaxy S 4 General] GalaxyNexusPH:
I googled dmb and found that other countries have dmb channels too but the Samsung app is only for korean channels. Unless you find a way to decompile it and search for your local dmb stations it won't work.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Hameed14j:

Hi all :)

I would like to ask about the differences between:

Galaxy S4 in South Korea

SHV-E300S

SHV-E300K

SHV-E300L

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
Nothing really. Just the firmware is different.
[Galaxy S 4 General] marbulas:
No. It seems same because of the hw specifications but internal firmware(frameworks and system apps) and kernel source of E300L are still different. E300L is still different than others because of LG UPlus' 2G carrier network. Of course, the difference of sgs4s in Korea is really tiny than before but those are not as same as your thought.
[Galaxy S 4 General] marbulas:
DMB works like 1Seg in Japan. It works with on its hw specifications(wireless broadcasting network from service provider, chilpset and antenna) and sw specifications(embedded kernel source and application). Just porting DMB app is wasting your time. DMB is separated mobile TV solution. It's not related the WLAN or Carrier networks packets are delivering on. Like FM radio.
[Galaxy S 4 General] badpixel:
I have a E300L, does basicaly the same mean rooting/flasing/other mods are the sam on all e300 devices?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Jaistah:
Yes, only difference is rom/firmware.

It would also sometimes depend on the kernell, but that's about it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Jaistah:
Any new rom updates for our SHV-E300? wish I could have that latest german rom in korean handsets :cool:

How to reliably flash Cofface's CWM?

With my old stock (counter zero) S2 (SHV-E110S), I was able (thanks to this forum) to flash a pre-rooted stock image and then flash CWM manually. This was completed without triggering the custom binary counter.

Can this be done with a stock S4 (SHV-E300S) here in Korea? It has Android version 4.2.2 ... baseband version E300SKSUAME1 ... build number JDQ39.E300SKSUAME7.
[Galaxy S 4 General] vmagic:
Can anyone give me a ROM E300LKLUAMEA (SHV-E300L)? Thanks :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] kara1000:
hello i want to know there are a custom rom for the shv-e300s

with all the features of the europeen version
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
At this time there are no custom roms for our phones except for deodexed stock roms. Once more source for exynos 5 is released then we can make custom roms.
[Galaxy S 4 General] 4m40.adm:
Has anyone ever seen 4G/LTE Icon on their SHV-E300? I am from philippines and have not seen it go to 4g. The most is 3G HSPAP, and what is showing on the icon is 3G.

Anybody can share screenshots of 4g Icon on their unit?

I read from other forums that if your icon is 3G it means your unit is roaming?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 4 General] GalaxyNexusPH:
Check the PH thread. I posted lots of screenshots. You need to set LTE All in the KT Hidden Menu to get LTE connectivity.
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
On our phones it will not show LTE because 4g is LTE. Just on a higher band. But here is a screen shot for you.
[Galaxy S 4 General] kevins39564:
I havent seen anyone actually find a fix for this. But im on the shv-e300k. Rooted with cwm cofface n all. Finally got real root a while back (root validator said i had root at first but su didnt work) all good now. Busy box works n all..

But..

My $70 allcast dongle dont work now. Something about resetting counters.. but triangle away dont support this model. I like my root cause im in korea n I can use the dns app on 4g rooted.. pandora netflix on 4g. and avast full features.. n emoji.. few other things. But not being able to use my dongle is killing me. It connects. Then immediatly disconnects. My galaxy note 10.1 and s3 both nonrooted work fine with it. Just not my rooted s4. Any tips?
[Galaxy S 4 General] GalaxyNexusPH:
I actually don't see LTE or 4G unless I set the KT Hidden Menu. Even if I set it to LTE preferred I can only connect to HSPA+
[Galaxy S 4 General] 4m40.adm:

Any similar experiences?

[Galaxy S 4 General] GalaxyNexusPH:
Same thing here . Can't call or receive calls while on LTE.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Modo44:
I had the same prob but if you take take the sim out, you can update ota when no sim is in the phone. At least it works on my shv-e300s.
[Galaxy S 4 General] motabe:
me too same thing ,when i change it to LTE all it gives me LTE speed but no incoming or outgoing calls but i can receive sms messages.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jattal:
The standard LTE doesnt carry voice, so it has to swtich to 3G to receive or make a call. So, its has to be in preferred LTE. So we want the gurus here to figure out why it doesnt swtich to LTE when its on preferred LTE. Is it a software bug, or other sitting that has to be applied

And i know I'm in a HSDPA+ are a I can connect to it with my uk s3 :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 General] Gillion:
You may need. To ensure that the device says official in the status settings.

If that does not work... unroot and return to stock.

If that does no work and it is looking at the binary counter you may be in a bind as I have yet to see any reset work for Korean versions.

Can you try looking at the korean tech websites to see what they are up to (assuming you can read korean/hangul)

Ok I managed to unroot I did the kies update then vol up power home n cwm was gone. Wiped cache n factory reset. Had some rebooting issues at first. Did restore from backu with kies. But then it went from official to permisive. N screen mirror still didnt work. Factoey reset again still permisive and screen mirrioring works now. There's got to be a way to root and keeo screen mirrioring working. If not how can I get back official status

looks like there's a new June firmware for the E300S? http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SHV-E300S&pcode=0#firmware

"E300SKSUAMF3"

-new camera firmware

-fix for scrolling blur(i think that's what it means)

-move apps to sd

anyone tried it yet?

I'm rooted, on ME7. not quite sure how I should go about it myself

cheers

I just update with Kies so its not formating my device or u can use OTA also ..

If u use ODIN then u will be formatted ..
[Galaxy S 4 General] Arviter91:
Cause I have mine rooted and the OTA says I have a modified device
[Galaxy S 4 General] bududroid:
OTA will fail if u already modify the system/rooted device ...

If u update through odin / flashing with Odin ur device will be formatted and u lost ur root too

Can I just unroot then update? Then root again lol
[Galaxy S 4 General] MrDSmith:
Hi, everyone. My name is Adam, I'm an English teacher at an academy near Busan, South Korea, and I have a masochistic fetish for rooting/experimenting with my phone late at night instead of resting up before teaching early kindergarten classes.

If you, like me, have the SHV-E300K and have rooted it, you may have noticed the auto-reboot, and, as my students say about homework (in jest), it makes you "want to suicide."

Well, after using all my stubbornness and reading all 29 pages of this thread, here are some pointers.

1) Download "E300K-ME7-Stock-Deodexed-ROM-signed" (use the search box at the bottom of the thread to find it. I forget the page), "i9500-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.2" (same thing), "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.34" (you already know), and "e300k-me6-root-kernel-init.d" (It's on Page 2 of this thread, but don't go looking for it now. Finish reading first)

2) Change your screen timeout to 10min. Your phone sleeping is what causes all the trouble. Copy "E300K-ME7-Stock-Deodexed-ROM-signed" and "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.34" to your phone's SD card.

3) Get into download mode. Alternatively, learn how to get into download mode, then do it.

4) Use Odin (The thread says 3.4, but I used 3.7 with no issue) to load "e300k-me6-root-kernel-init.d" under PDA. If you don't know how to use Odin, please learn how to use Odin.

5) Okay, when your phone reboots, pull the battery out. Like, right away. Don't worry, it isn't a race and you're not being graded, just get it out.

6) Pop it back in and go back into download mode.

7) Load up "i9500-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.2"

8) Repeat step 5

9) Almost done. Instead of going into download mode this time, go into recovery mode (not the type where you roll your buddy on his side).

10) Wipe data/factory reset/clear cache/clear dalvik cache and all that blah blah blah

11) Install "E300K-ME7-Stock-Deodexed-ROM-signed"

12) Install "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.34"

13) Reboot

14) Go into "About Phone" It should look like this:

Model Number

SHV-E300K

Android Version

4.2.2

Baseband version

E300KKKUAME1

Kernel version

3.4.5-645203

Se.infra@SEP-72 #1

Mon May 20 23:46:54 KST 2013

Build number

JDQ39.E300KKKUAME7

SELinux status

Permissive

15) Take a shower and go to bed. Do not stay on XDA all night.

Are there other ways of doing this? Maybe. Am I saying this is the best? Nope. But does it have to be if it works? Nope.

Custom Binary Counter Question

Does your process trigger the custom binary counter? If so, does triangle away work?

Oh ... do you really give homework to kindergarteners? :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
No matter what we do right now we will trigger the binary count. Unless you flash an official rom from Samsung. Triangle away will not work on our phones. ChainFire is supposedly working on it as we speak, but there is no telling when it will be complete or functioning for that matter. On our phones, the counter is triggered before the phone even boots. You can read all about it HERE. It is very interesting in the way that Samsung has changed things in the EMMC. But it will be worked out soon enough though. It is just a matter of time is all.
