I have a Wind M919V running 4.4.2 with Baseband/Bootloader M919VVLUFNE1, CSC M919VYVLFNE2. Does this have an unlocked bootloader that allows me to root / install custom rom?

I read several of the guides, but they seem to be for older versions. What is the best method confirmed to work to root this version (without triggering knox) so that I can install TWRP and custom ROM? I believe I read that cf-auto / motochopper / towelroot wouldn't work

Hello,

Is there a lollipop modem that I can use with my m919v?

I have lollipop cm12 installed and read that the lollipop modem will sort out the Wi-Fi / data issues but I can only find the one for the i19505

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Yousvel:
Until now no lollipop modems or bootloader yet for m919 or m919v. The reason is because there's no official lollipop for these devices yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] whittssg:
Is there one that works or is it safer to wait?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Yousvel:
You need to wait. However, you can fully en TW Lollipop with your kitkat modems and bootloader. But you will need to flash a custom TW Lollipop kernel for WiFi to work.

This is for those who want to root 5.0.1 on SGH-M919V/M919, from the user mrTGF who couldn't post because of insufficient posts:

1. Download the latest TWRP (http://dl.twrp.me/jfltecan/) ATM 2.8.4.0

2. Download SuperSu to your phone

2. Using ODIN flash TWRP (this will root your device)

3. Reboot into Recovery (Power+Home+Vol. Up)

3. Using TWRP flash SuperSu (this will give you root control)

Works perfectly :P

Also,

Wasn't the SD security thing added with Kitkat? (there are fixes for that)

Is there a way to flash the latest OTA if I have a custom recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pjedi:
I believe the only way, is to download the firmware from sammobile.com and flash it using ODIN. (it will remove your custom recovery and you will have to reinstall it after the OTA, again using ODIN)

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

From my experience, having root access still didn't allow me to write to Micro SD Card. I had to install a entire custom lollipop ROM, which is great because I hate Touchwiz and all the useless bells and whistles. I'm now on a stock lollipop rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cryolithic:
This will cause a factory reset though, no?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pjedi:
I can't remember if flashing the OTA official firmware via ODIN only overwrites system files/folders or everything on your internal storage. I'm sure someone else here will know/remember.

Just back up important content to your MicroSD card to be safe.

M919V update.zip

I was wondering if anyone has a copy of the update.zip for the SGH-M919V.

I am unfortunately stuck with the stock recovery and after applying the update am unable to boot the system, I used the M919VVLUGOD1_M919VYVLGOD1_GLW-5.0.1.zip and everything went fine. After reboot - I only see the Samsung logo - I left the phone sit there for 3 hours and it is still on the samsung logo animation.

I am unable to use ODIN or another USB method since my USB Charge Ribbon is defective, I have ordered another one, but it will take awhile to get here.

My only option is to use the official update.zip and flash with the stock recovery.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've rooted my GS4 SGH-M919V (Wind Mobile's). I've confirm I have root access and have TWRP installed. I did a backup from TWRP and saved it to my computer as well.

I went to use the Cyanogen installer, but it told me my firmware was not supported. So I went to the manual install page and here is where I am confused:

wiki.cyanogenmod. org/w/Install_CM_for_jflte (I can't post the complete link)

I believe the M919V is a variant of the AT&T model. When expanding that section to read, it says I must be on 2 specific builds or it will not work and I will brick my phone without any chance of recovery. My build is LRX22C.M919VVLUGOD1. So am I to assume there is no way for me to run CM?

Appreciate any help. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] janosek:
Hello,

It worked with kitkat (4.4.2), but you are on lollipop, so Cyanogenmod probably has not updated the application. I guess they figure if you haven't updated already, you probably will stick with stock Android.

If you want to run CM, you will need to learn how to use ODIN and download the CM ROM.

Sorry for tagging you guys, but you guys seem to have experience.

I have a Galaxy S4 SGH-M919V. Running on 5.0.1 Baseband M919VVLUGOH1

Hey guys I have a problem. Here's what I did.

I didnt have an SD card, so I took an old phone's SD card, deleted all the information on it and placed the latest SuperSU on it.

Used Odin to flash TWRP 2.8.4.0

Rebooted to TWRP and installed SuperSU.

As my phone started up again, all the apps I downloaded were gone. Also, my contacts are gone. I only have old text messages and my pictures. In the applications manager, it shows all my old apps with an android sign on it with 0B.

When I try to open the Play Store, it closes immediately. In fact, trying to open ANY apps gives me an error where it says it has stopped working.

First time rooting and I need some help.

Thanks.

problem with 4G in méxico movistar

Hello, pretty much my title summarizes my problem... I have this same phone, Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919V and flashed with lollipop canadian version from sammobile, i have no idea how it was unlocked nor the original carrier... But it doesn´t displays "LTE/GSM/HDMSA", only shows the last 2 in network settings... Any idea of how to go around? I´ve done what you say to force with LTE preference but nothing... I know my carrier has 4G services where I am and also have a 4G SIM card... any ideas? I haven´t tried the modem.bin from T-Mobile version though, that´s what I´m about to do right now

Yes, I went straight to customer services and they changed my SIM card for a nice looking SIM xD black edition 128kb or something like that... So yes, it is definetely 4G, but somehow, as i´ve said, nothing appears about LTE appears in network settings... If I want to choose a carrier manually, it shows another carrier with 4G and that´s all, i´m about to flash modem.bin from 4.4.2 t-mobile... See what happens

Best way to get CM12 instead of stock 5.0.1??

My S4 is currently on Wind's OTA lollipop (5.0.1.)...I'm really just wanting to get CM12.1 on it...could I just odin a 4.2.2 stock firmware on it from sammobile (to bypass knox), flash CWM, then flash CM12?

I was looking at T-Mobile (i.e. m919) ROMs for CM but it seems some people in this thread have had luck with others (i337m etc)...any updates on what's best? (I have lots of experience flashing S2s...just not sure about S4s and all this knox stuff worries me)

Thanks for any tips!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] smacsmac:
No worries...got it all done. For anybody looking over this in 2016 and beyond, here's how I got a clean version of CM 12.1 on my Wind S4 (SGH-M919V) without a hitch (sorry I can't hyperlink in the following section...I'm too new a user apparently :( )

- My S4 was on the lollipop OTA from Wind on 5.0.1

- I downgraded (flashed via Odin 3.07) to 4.4 via the firmware I found on Sammobile (look up SGH-M919 under firmwares and then look for the Wind 4.4 version)

- I flashed CWM 6.0.4.4 via Odin (I got the CWM from galaxy s4 root dot com...under SGH-M919)

- I then installed 12.1 Cyanogenmod via CWM using the T-Mobile version that I found on the Cyanogenmod download page for 'JFLTETMO' , "Latest Release" (Nov 17, 2015)

Everything works without a hitch, the only thing I had to do was factory/data reset after installing CM and clear the cache and it booted up without issue (it had been looping).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dj_aj:
You have somehow managed to enter 'download mode' that is necessary to flash new firmware with odin. If this happened unintentionally then you can just take out the battery and power the device back on.

This mode is entered by holding the power button + home button + volume down button.

If you entered this mode by default then you may need to flash the stock firmware that you can download from samfirmware.com and flash it by using odin for windows.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dj_aj:
Dude, you have to search these forums and you will find the answers. I bet you that there must be over a thousand threads that tell you how to flash the stock firmware using Odin. That being said, here are the steps for your reference:

Step 1:

Download the following files.

Odin v1.85

Samsung USB Drivers for Windows

Official Stock ROM from samfirmware

Notes: You will need to install the Samsung USB Drivers only if you've never installed Samsung Kies before.

Step 2:

Flashing the firmware.

Extract the firmware and you should have a file that ends in *.tar.md5.

Open Odin.

Turn off the phone.

Put your device into Download Mode by holding Home+Volume Down+Power.

Press Volume Up to continue.

Connect your phone to the PC via USB. Odin should detect your phone in one of the COMs if everything is done correctly.

In Odin, click PDA and select the *.tar.md5 file that you had extracted before.

Then finally click Start.

Step 3:

Do not touch the phone or your computer until the process is complete.

Odin should say Pass in green and the phone will restart.

Unplug the phone and wait for it to boot.

Dear fellow Wind mobile users :D,

Is M919 the only Galaxy S 4 variant that is compatible with WIND mobile network? I was wondering if i9505 would also work.

I really like WIND but the fact that international phone versions are sometimes not compatible with their network is a huge drawback for me :(

I really look forward to buy an i9505 from a duty free shop while I am away from Canada.

Thank you very much in advance :)
