I know there are apps for that.

Here's one at random.

Ok I'm trying to understand something, I have a T-MOB SGH-M919 the Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 these are the same devices correct? I'd like to know if I can install this rom for the Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2323577 on my T-MOB SGH-M919 or are these roms model number specific?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
You can flash I9505 ROMs on the M919. I've read and practiced that during the flashing of the ROM, flash an M919 specific kernel afterwards.

Most ROMs don't have the modem baked into it, and you will retain your existing Modem (edited)

If the ROM does contain a Modem not specific to the M919, DONT flash it.

Others will know how to proceed flashing a ROM with the Modem baked it. Perhaps it has to be removed prior to flashing?

ALWAYS have a Nandroid backup just in case ;)

My friend has the Sprint variant and its on 4.3 and he has 11gb and mine is the Tmo variant but im on 4.2.2 stock Rooted and only have 9gb
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: memory

The total available user memory of all variants of the Galaxy S4 is 9GB .

The rest of the 16GB's are used by the phone's firmware/rom.

And NO the number or size of nandroid backups will not give

you more or less TOTAL available/usable memory.

The more of that 9GB of memory you use up with nandroid

backups or anything else the less you will have leftover.

It makes NO difference how big or many megabytes your rom is.

The additional 6GB's are pre-allocated for the phone to be used

by the firmware/rom and cannot be changed or altered.

Check it out, here are the full specs:

scroll down until you see "memory"and read the specs. carefully.

Good luck!

I feel like it has something to do with the way I installed my ROM because everything worked fine before that

How would I go about reinstalling the recovery, I installed twrp through the goo manager app, but since I don't have any gapps right now how do I do that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: twrp recovery

You need to use ODIN to flash the TAR version of TWRP.

Here is the direct download link for the TWRP TAR

recovery file in case you need it:

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/jfltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-jfltetmo.tar

Here is the direct download link for Odin which is required

for flashing/installing TWRP recovery:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/b8w1on8pwd11yby/Odin+v3.09.zip

Odin is a Windows stand-alone application.

Good luck with it.

What's an AMR WB?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
He could conceivably have the i9500 variant, for which there is a modified PIT file that can change the partition space to allow 11GB of available user space.

This ONLY applies to the i9500 variant and you cannot use that modification on any other S4. If you try you will permanently brick your device. So just a head's up. Dont' try it.

The best way to increase available storage space is to get a micro SD card. You can get a 32GB card for like $20. It's your best option.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Katahar_Bam:
I believe its the wideband audio codec, I've installed a 4.2.2 rom and i notice it only sounds HD through speakerphone and not regular handset (integrated headset).

On traditional samsung touchwiz you can get to the servicemenu to enable it, but I'm unsure on how to get to the service menu from a 4.2.2 rom.

Is there a good way to run ODIN without access to a PC?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Sorry I have no idea.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
None.

But you can run a program called Heimdall from a Mac or Linux machine. It's very similar, though not quite as "one click" as Odin is. You need a little more computer literacy to use it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TeethMummy:
Bummer. All the good GPE Roms seem to require flashing new modems now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: AMR

It's Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband

It's an audio extended codec which adds support for stereo signals and

higher sampling rates. Many speech applications are using it too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
IF all you want to flash is a modem, Heimdall works very easily.

It's when you want to flash an entire package like a full stock rom and radio that requires multiple steps.

However, Heimdall gives you more opportunity to seriously screw up your system if you do it wrong. So make sure you REALLY understand what you are doing.

Odin uses prepackaged TAR files that have internal instructions on whever everything in them is supposed to go on the phone. In Heimdall you have to tell it where to put individual things you are flashing. TI's good. It's useful. And it works. But be careful.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Blue_Churo:
Hello,

Whenever I try to use "slow motion" video recording with the Samsung Camera, either the camera crashes or the whole device does. It works fine with all settings, just not "slow-mo" at 1/8th the speed. I can do 1/4th speed just fine, though. Would it be something at Kernel Level, or would this be the ROM?

Thanks!

re: video camera issue

Why not just download and flash @jovy23 's stock modified 4.3 kernel

which you can download HERE so when you use the slow motion feature

in your camcorder/video camera your phone will no longer freeze or crash?

Flash this kernel in cwm/twrp recovery.

Be sure to make a nandroid backup before flashing anything.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] chidz:
Ok so I reinstalled twrp with odin, but when i tried to install something through twrp recovery none of the files or zips worked. Its not something

wrong with twrp, or my files, because its not just one or two but all of the files. What else could be the problem?

Will wiping my entire phone solve this issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: twrp

If TWRP loads properly, and all the panels on it are working

then there is nothing wrong with twrp.

The problem must be with your zip files

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

Jovy's kernel does not break anything, it works great.. I and a lot of people here are

using it without any issues at all.

No need to wipe the phone except to wipe the zip files which are bad.

Best thing to do is to re-downlaod Jovy's kernel using your computer.

Then copy the kernel to your phone and flash using twrp.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] chidz:
Does that mean all my files must be broken?, they all used to work before i downloaded the rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: corrupt zip files.

If you really want to check out ALL your zipfiles for consistency

you will need to do a MD5 check on each and every zip file that

you have in your internal sdcard and external microsd card.

I would guess it would be easier to simply replace those zip files

with known good ones which are easy and fast to download

instead of messing around with MD5 zip file checker.

The MD5 zip file checker is excellent for checking zip file roms

other other really large files, but all these mods and addons are

so small that they are really a lot faster to simply download and

replace all those small zip files in your phone.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] chidz:
I'm sorry but I'm seriously worried because every zip file I've tried to install since has failed to work. What happens is that in recovery mode, when I falsh the files, it shows that it's successful, but when i reboot it, no changes take place on my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: try this

Ah, now I see... That same thing you described just now also happens and happened

to me many times when unknowingly or by error I flash mods, keyboards, dialers,

and themes which are not 100% compatible with our Tmobile M919 phones.

These kinds of mod zip files usually all flash successfully but after flashing we see

no difference in our phones at all.

I guess it's a good way to keep those zip files from messing up our phones.

If you have a M919 S4 with a Samsung Touchwiz M919 custom rom flashed then try

this, download and flash this Ktoonsez latest M919 TW JB kernel and if it flashes

without errors then go into your settings>more>about device then look under the kernel

heading and see if it says "Ktoonsez".

If it does then everything is fine and the issue is as I described above.

If your phone is NOT an M919 then download and flash a kernel which is made for

your device and check in "about device" see if it displays the kernel you flashed.

Here is the direct download link to Ktoonsez 12-22-2013 kernel:

http://ktoonsez.jonathanjsimon.com/sgs4/TW/KT-SGS4-JB4.3-TW-TMO-12.22.2013.zip

Give it a try.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: stock 4.3 jellybean touchwiz camera

Here is the fix for slo-mo, just flash this stock-modified 4.3 kernel by Jovy23.

Here is the direct download link in case you need it:

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760972765

And there is action shot and all the other features found in the stock based

4.3 M919 roms. The Wicked 9.1 is a stock based custom rom and there are

no camera or camcorder features or options missing.

If you cannot find the stock full features camera in Wicked v9.1

I would suggest to re-flash Wicked 9.1 and be sure to select it

in the Aroma installer. (double check)

Good luck!

This is almost certainly true as it fits the pattern for known problems with 4.3 TouchWiz roms on the MDL modem. And I'd bet large sums of money that baseballfanz has it diagnosed properly.

But just to be sure, this ONLY applies if you are using a TouchWiz 4.3 ROM. If you are using an AOSP 4.3 ROM then something else is the problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: baseband issues

Please NOTE: the following procedure is NOT valid for AOSP/AOKP/KitKat/CM roms.

The following instructions are exclusively for those people who are using the

Tmobile M919 stock based Jellybean 4.2.2 or 4.3 Touchwiz custom roms.

Follow the easy step by step instructions to a "T".

You can Odin flash the MK2 modem.bin while on any Jellybean Touchwiz 4.2.2 based rom

or ODIN flash it after flashing the Infamous v9, Wicked v9.1, or any M919 MK2 JB based

Touchwiz 4.3 roms. Either way it makes no difference.

What does make a difference is to follow this step by step exactly.

#1: Manually power down the phone by using the power button only.

#2: Start ODIN and put the MODEM.BIN file into ODIN'S PHONE slot.

#3: Put the phone into download mode using the volume down and power button.

#4: Plug the USB cable into the phone and into the computer.

#5: Make sure that ODIN'S [COM:xx] lights up.

#6: Un-Check the Auto-Reboot in ODIN and click START.

#7: After its done flashing unplug the usb cable.

#8: Manually power off the phone by using the power button only.

#9: Wait 20 or so seconds before you power on the phone.

After doing this the MK2 baseband should show up in About Device.

Once it displays MK2 you can flash any MK2 JB TW 4.3 custom cwm/twrp

zip file roms unless you have already flashed it before flashing the modem.bin

in which case you are done and ready to use the phone.

Here is the direct download link for the Tmobile 4.3 M919 MK2 modem.bin:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/1g...l89x/modem.bin

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mannyg78:
I'm curious how this happened. Was it because I wiped the SD? I've flashed so many ROMS and never had any issues prior to this. I will try this out. Hopefully it fixes it. Thanks for the help. It's much appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
No it has nothing to do with wiping the sd. With the update to 4.3 firmware came a new bootloader and modem. If you took the ota update you would have gotten the update bootloader and modem(plus the Knox counter built into the new bootloader). Flashing ROM via custom recovery does not update the modem or bootloader(which is good). The only minor drawback would be you having to Odin flash the modem yourself. Keep in mind ask this pertain to Touchwiz bae ROM.

It might be a good thing the ota update didn't work. If you're still on 4.2.2, best thing would be re-root(Cf autoroot) manually update the modem and flash the stock 4.3 ROM via custom recovery. That way you don't get the Knox bootloader.

re: Knox Pox

At the present time there is no fix, no work around or anything.

There are only two drawbacks if you do have the KNOX pox.

#1: It might void your warranty with Tmobile and or Samsung.

#2: You can no longer downgrade to the previous 4.2.2 firmware/rom.

Other then that there are no other downsides to it.

I'm considering getting an unlocked SGS4 (M919) for temporary use in Europe, after which I'll be moving to the US where I think I'll end up using it with an AT&T MVNO (such as StraightTalk or Net10). After a lot of reading, my understanding so far is that the M919 (which is designed for T-Mobile networks) should function just fine on an AT&T network, including 4G LTE, as long as you have the proper APN settings setup, right? Or is it better to get the AT&T model (I337)?

Also, I would be getting this phone from Ebay, where it's indicated as being pre unlocked and having a clean IMEI (clean meaning that it's not stolen?). Is that generally an okay idea, if for instance the seller has a very high rating? Or just plainly a bad idea?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: M919 vs i337

Its a lot better to get the Tmobile model M919 than the i337, the i337 has "loki" which

makes rooting and flashing roms more complicated, it's not like the M919 where you can

simply go into custom recovery mode and flash roms, kernels, mods and other things.

Also rooting the i337 is more complicated too because of the loki issue.

Just make sure that if you get a new M919 from tmobile store to have it

unlocked so it will work on all bands and the LTE/4G/3G which your

service provider has to offer.

(Unlocking is a free service if the phone is fully paid).

Clean imei means it has not been reported stolen.

eBay is excellent, just be sure the seller has a very high rating as you have already pointed out,

making sure that the sellers high rating is due to selling a lot of cell phones & not $5-$25 items.

Goo luck!

re: download issues

You must be having one of these three issues with your downloading,

#1 you may be trying to download using your phone

#2 your wireless router might have a very poor or intermittent signal

#3 perhaps your ISP is having issues at the present time which does happen sometimes

If at all possible do all your downloading from a wired source/cable not wifi......

Most likely if you were to plug an ethernet cable from your computer to the

cable modem you would have no issues at all.

Try it again in like 30 minutes to an hour see if it clears up if your ISP is having issues.
