Hi all,

Can I flash pre rooted .zip from recovery of doomlord's leaked jb. On the development thread its written that ics. 55 is a pre requirement, if so how can I revert to official ics.

I am currently bl unlocked, rooted with rwcovery on leaked jb.

Thanks for help :)

You have to flash stock ICS ft and flash official JB ft,or lock boot loader first before flashing JB ftf

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
With my former rooted S2 I was perfectly able to connect it with my desktop and the program Android Commander recognised it. I used that software to transfer files to the root folders.

Now I have a stock-rooted S4, I wanted to use Android Commander again. But alas, it doesn't recognise my phone.

I don't have any clue as to what is causing Android Commander to not 'see' my S4.

I would like to know if anyone is able to use this software with their S4.

Or if anyone has an idea how to fix my problem.

Thanks.

Android Commander for Galaxy S4

You have to update the ADB counsel on bin folder

Steps:

1- Download View attachment 2097524

2- Extract with replace to all 4 files on bin folder "C:\ProgramFiles\Android Commander\bin" or "C:\ProgramFiles (x86)\Android Commander\bin" if you have windows x64.

3- enjoy using Android Commander:good:

Note: either change the folder security to add permission for everyone to allow winrar to extract and replace the files directly or extract the rar file outside (i.e. desktop) and simply copy and replace the files.

If it help you, please hit thanks below:good:

hey nice guide !

I personally am a ubuntu 13.04 user

just one suggestion , you can add in your thread alternate way of downloading the whole ADT bundle and setting it up; so that separate installation of sdk eclipse adt plugin etc is not required
[Android Studio] matt95:
that's right ;) i'll add this later!

[Android Studio] 8yt3c0d3:
Hi matt, thanks a ton for this great tutorial. I have followed all the steps mentioned here and i think adb and fastbook has been installed on my system :) Running the ./adb and ./fastboot commands bring up a list of command on the terminal.

Nw i have been trying to connect my phone to flash a boot.img, after i run "./adb devices" to check if the phone is connected it shows me this :

List of devices attached

????????????	no permissions

not sure if the device is connected :( do u knw what is causing this error ?
[Android Studio] demkantor:
Being you have a path setup (per this guide) try typing either just

adb devices

or

fastboot devices

skip the ./ and see if it will work
[Android Studio] 8yt3c0d3:
I have got my device now connected in fastboot mode. Thanks again for this great tutorial. I am not a rom builder but a crazy flasher :p I skipped a few steps from the above tutorial to get fastboot and adb working on Ubuntu 13.04.

To install JDK:

Start by removing the openJDK if it exists already

sudo apt-get purge openjdk*

To install Java 8, do this

Add the PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

Update the repo index:

sudo apt-get update

Install Java 8:

sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

Install GIT from the OP tutorial

Skip Python install :p

Skip GNU install :p

Skip ia32-libs install if you are using 32bit OS

Download the Android SDK from OP and install it as mentioned there.

Setup ADB/Fastboot as mentioned in the OP

Skip Suggested programs :p :cyclops:

Now connect your device in fastboot mode and type in terminal fastboot to check if your device is recognised, if you get

"fastboot not installed error"

Try

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

connect device in fastboot and try :

sudo fastboot devices

Done ;) :D
[Android Studio] matt95:
actually i should write more to avoid that message :/ stay tuned! tonight i'll write how to solve that... sorry for making you wait
[Android Studio] matt95:
yeah that works too but sometimes you may have some problem with that command and probably it won't work on every distro, while the manual installation always works :)
[Android Studio] matt95:
you should run adb with root user :)

sudo adb devices

that should do the trick

[Android Studio] old.splatterhand:
Hello and greetings to Verona. I love your region, very nice there!

Very good guide, sir! Used this to set up my first Linux/Ubuntu/Android environment! :good:

Some points/questions i have (as a long time windows user :D):

These packages are only for 64bit i think?

Is the red line correct, cause it moves the complete download folder to development?

And the most important thing for me as windows user:

I have now all importent things for development in ~/development/ folder.

Every time i have to go with terminal to the specific folder and execute the program:

cd ~/development/kitchen
./menu

cd ~/development/eclipse
./eclipse

cd ~/development/android-studio/bin
./studio.sh

cd ~/development/android-sdk-linux/tools
./android

Is it possible to make these programs executable like adb and fastboot?

What i mean is, open terminal, write ./menu and kitchen starts, without moving to the kitchen folder (like adb).

If yes, a step-by-step guide would be very appreciated!

Or any other way to start those programs on a easy way, like linked into Cairo Dock?

Thanks in advance and keep on rockin'!
[Android Studio] matt95:
Yes those packages are for the x64 desktops, i should have said that! :good:

The red highlighted command was wrong, now i've corrected it! thanks for reporting that :D

And last thing, if you want to run that commands as adb and fastboot you only have to add those commands' directories to the .bashrc

so open up the terminal and type

$ gedit .bashrc

and then you have to write down the directories

example (the menu command is in the ~/development/kitchen directory) you should write

#Personal PATHS(you can write what you want after the #)
export PATH=$PATH:~/development/kitchen

then hit save and that's all :) close all the terminals that are open and now you can launch the kitchen just by typing menu (you don't have to type ./ before it).

if you need help again just ask :)
[Android Studio] bliizzz:
Excellent guide

awesome :good: very good guide :) thanks a lot
[Android Studio] matt95:
glad to help :highfive:
[Android Studio] old.splatterhand:
First, thank you for your super-quick reply! :good:

Yes, i thought about that, adding those lines to ".bashrc". :laugh:

I did it already yesterday, but maybe i did something wrong, cause i tried to open kitchen in terminal with ./menu and it did not work. But maybe its because of ./

The .bashrc file don't need to be "updated" after saving (like for example grub, when editing the OS that starts first on dual boot)?

Anyway, i will have a look and post the result.
[Android Studio] matt95:
when you add something to the .bashrc you do not have to type the ./ before the command :) and yes, it doesn't need to be updated, just save it and that's it
[Android Studio] old.splatterhand:
Ok, will take a look, when i booted it again.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7moooodi:
It all depends on how this happened and how well you'll fight to get a new one! I mean if it happened because of miss usage (fell to the ground for example), I don't think they'll replace it. Even if it didn't fall, they might try to say it did to avoid replacing it, so here comes your fighting and convincing skills!

Try your luck, and hopefully you'll mange to get it replaced.

Does anyone know what the differences between the GSM i9505s are?

I've been trying to figure out if I should get a 'Nexus' S4 when it comes out, or get the Tmo varient now, but there's speculation that they are the same phones with different software.

I've also found an thread about getting AWS on AT&T phones and a thread saying that Intl i9505 ROMs will work on Tmo phones.

So I guess I'm confused... it seems like all the differences between the various i9505 phones are software related and not hardware. Has anyone cracked some of these guys open to find out?:confused:

Hi Folks,

So I'm posting in the Tmobile side since I picked up a Tmobile S4 even though I'm using it on AT&T to see if its a Tmobile thing, maybe some conflict from running on AT&T or just doesn't work at all...

I setup and have created/logged in with a Samsung account in the accounts pane and when I go online to try to find the phone I get two things. The first is the site says its not available in my region. And the second is following some details on their site about enabling it on the phone aren't working. It says add a Samsung account (done), go to settings, more, security then remote management (or remote control) then more steps but there is no remote management or remote control listed under settings.

Is this working for anyone at all?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: signing in

Signing up and logging in to your tmobile, google or AT&T accounts are optional

and have nothing to do with how or if your phone will work.

You don't need to sign on to any of these three for your phone to work properly.

If your Tmobile M919 Galaxy S4 is NOT UNLOCKED it will not work on any network

except Tmobile.

It will not work with AT&T unless the phone is UNLOCKED.

Either way, the main thing I was trying to say is whatever your problem is it has

nothing to do with signing into tmoble or AT&T or gmail.

All three of those things are optional and have no effect on the phone working properly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Screwbal:
Awesome good to know. Now the only question is has anyone else gotten it to actually work if they have tried?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
It's difficult to say if it will work or not since I have NO idea of what the problem is to start with.

All I know is that you have an Tmobile Galaxy S4 cell phone.

I don't even know if you ever tried a Tmobile sim card in it or whether the phone is unlocked and so on.

So I don't know how to be more helpful to you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Screwbal:
No, I just mean the feature in general on the phone. Does anyone have the find my phone function through Samsung working or at least have tried and can confirm that it does work for you, or that you too can't set it up?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
You still are very unclear in what your really want to know, I still do not even know if your phone ever worked properly for you.

I still don't even know if your phone is UNLOCKED or not and I don't even know if you have a at&t sim or a tmobile sim card.

You never mention these things in any of your posts so how can anyone confirm anything you are asking to be confirmed?

If you use your phone on the Tmobile network you will have the option of free wifi calling which does not count against cellular minutes.

On the AT&T network there will be no option at all for wifi calling.

All the other features and options on the Galaxy S4 whether it's on the AT&T network or Tmobile network will be exactly the same.

You will not see or find any differences at all except for the wifi calling which I wrote about.

Anyway I am a bit busy, so I cannot help you anymore but I am sure there will be a lot of other people

here who can help you even more than I can.

Perhaps a mind reader will give you a hand if your lucky enough to find one. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] zelendel:
The question is clear. Has anyone had this option ever work for them?

To be honest I am not sure how the option works but it maybe GPS related if Samsung is controlling it and not the carrier.

Wayne Tech Nexus
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
The question has nothing to do with whether the phone is network locked or not; or what carrier's sim card is installed. It has to do with whether a specific function in an app works or not for AT&T users with a TMO device. I have an unlocked TMO version on AT&T network, I'll try what you are talking about and get back with you. I'm reverting back to my stock backup to check. I can't seem to find the particular app you're using through Samsung apps and it doesn't appear to be present on the debloated stock ROM I'm using.

I just happen to have nothing but time on my hands. :D

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

My experience so far is that I also cannot access the feature. You are correct in the fact that the "Remote Control" tab doesn't exist under Settings->More->Security. It should be below "Encrypt Device" but it isn't. The website findmymobile.samsung.com says that once you activate/register your Samsung account on the device, that menu will automatically be enabled; but from my experience (and yours as well apparently) that is definitely not the case.

I did a little research, and within a few minutes I was directed to a thread here on XDA from the SIII forums talking about this particular problem. Apparently, the carriers themselves have removed the ability to use Samsung's built-in mobile location features in preference of the carrier's own mobile location apps and services.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Screwbal:
dumb! :) but I figured out that lookout can do it. going on 24 hours since I picked it up and dusting off my android cobwebs still for how I used to get by a year ago. Was trying to have to install some 3rd party app that I didn't know so tried the built in stuff with no luck but with lookout pre installed and I already know it I figure that should work just fine for me. Thanks folks for the feedback and conversation!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: finally I understand...............

AH, so that's what the guy was looking for, I just could not make much sense of what he was asking after reading his posts.

There are several apps at the play store which have the same or similar capabilities.

Here is a link to one of them, it's called "find my phone" it's a free app which finds phones which have been stolen or lost etc.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5mc3AuYW5kcm9pZC5waG9uZXRyYWNrZXIiXQ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Yeah, but if it's supposed to be provided by the manufacturer it would stand to reason that it would be available to everyone who bought the device. Apparently though, our carriers tend to believe their own software is far superior to that of those who manufactured the device... I personally don't even use that stuff as I never turn GPS on in the first place; so in the event that my phone is stolen or lost, that kind of software won't do me any good to begin with.
