It'll work so long as the rom is made as a universal s4 rom. If its specifically made for a certain variant it might not.

Very few roms are made for specific models these days though. (Incompatible variants with different chip sets not withstanding)

samsung m919

Hallo

I have Samsung s4 4g from t-mobile , and I taken it to the company for unlocking and now it's unlocked and works fine my question is it possible to do these things without breaking the unlock feature.

1 can I update it online or offline over Odin. Without locking it again

2 can I root it with any method

3 install coustom roms or nandroid backup.

4 and if I update to lollipop if possible of course. , what well. I lose

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pr1nc3ssbytchfac3:
You can do all those things without losing ur unlock. If it was unlocked by t-mobile it is unlocked for the life of the phone now.

Ok next question , will my phone stay a GTi9505G or revetrt back to sgm6919?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mswal2846:
So we need to make a distinction between the hardware that is your physical device .... which is SGM6919 and the software (the ROM) that runs on the hardware. The software (the ROM) may be reporting your device as GTi9505G, but it is still the same hardware (device). So what the ROM reports could be different based on the ROM you're running.

Some ROMs running better or not at all on certain hardware (phones). So you need to read the OP for the ROMs and make sure they're ok for your device (SGM6919).

I've tried the ASOP rioms that are cyn based and every one the screen turns black when I make a call and I can NOT pull it back up to use the dialer if I need to, so I just re flashed the Sickness and now my phone is a SGHM919 all over again :(

You, sir, have a fouled proximity sensor that needs to be cleaned. Takes about 15 minutes.

Search my profile for threads started by me. There is a guide on how to do it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfen1086:
where?

I want to use this rom because it is more stable than the m919 roms but if its a sensor I need to know where it is so I can clean it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
Shouldn't a fouled proximity sensor behave the same regardless of rom being used?

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfen1086:
With my limited k omelette I'd say no, because some ROMs are built to have the dialer stay up.

I cleaned my sensor with compressed air, what's the next step, because it still doesn't come up, all I get when I pill down is the option to hang up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
It doesn't always. I think it is more temperamental with aosp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Wait...what?

If you have any pull down menus then the screen is on. Meaning the sensor is fine.

If its really not working do what I said earlier. Look in my profile for threads started by me. You will find a guide. Its clearly titled.

Odd problem: I'm on Beanstalk 5.0. I cannot see developer settings and I cannot enable it by tapping "Build number" seven times. I assume that's because I've actually already enabled developer settings. But I don't know what I did to make the 'Developer Settings" submenu under "Settings" disappear. Any help is appreciated!

I don't mind just re-flashing a ROM to fix things, but I hope to enable USB debugging and backup apps before doing that. I already tried dirty flashing and that didn't help.

Auth fail on ODIN?

Hi.

I have been running CM 10.2.1 for a long time. I have recently been getting frequent network drops, so I tried using the 5.0.1 Google Play Edition ROM. Ended up coming across the same problem.

Someone suggested that I upgraded my modem I think to NH7. I'm currently on baseband M919UVUAMDL.

Tried using ODIN to install NH7 and got an Auth Fail error.

What can I do? Thanks!

When I use Lollipop and I press my power button, the phone restarts itself. I've been trying with every type of Lollipop roms there are but it's always the same problem. The roms itself work but I can't press the power button to lock the screen because it'll just restart the phone. I tried looking for solutions and all I see is to install latest TWRP, but it still doesn't work. I also tried with latest CWM recovery but it gave me the same results.

Is there something else I need to do? Why can't my phone use Lollipop?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lalec:
Are you certain that the problem is caused by Lollipop? There have been cases of power buttons sticking on these phones (it happened to me on one of the two I have).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ashwinmudigonda:
Help. Dropped phone. Now it loses connection to the network frequently.

A couple of days ago, I dropped my phone and cracked the screen. I wasnt too concerned about that. However a day after that I lost my mobile service (tmobile) completely and didn't know it. A reboot fixed it, but yesterday when i lost it again, even rebooting didn't fix it. I had to remove and re insert the SIM card for it to work. But today, doing that only gives me the signal for a few minutes before I get an error that it's unable to connect to the network.

Is there something I could do to fix this issue? Or is this unrelated me dropping the phone? Or is this more serious than I thought it was?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JonJai:
Yeah I'm pretty sure because when I use Touchwiz or other Kitkat roms, the power button works normally. It happens only with Lollipop and I unfortunately can't find a solution
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Does it give you any SIM card errors?

Do you get a cell signal when it won't connect to t mobile?

My first two guesses are that either the sim tray or the cell antenna have become loose due to the drop. They may or may not be fixable. Depends on how bad they are broke.

If it were me, the first thing I'd do is take the phone apart and then just put it back together. See if you repair and loose connections that way. Should take 20 minutes at the most if you are good with that kind of stuff.

If you aren't comfortable with that sort of thing...then don't do it obviously.

If you still have the loss/damage insurance on it...you might just replace it.

Can I use i9500 screen with the M919 motherboard?

Can I use i9500 screen with the M919 motherboard?

I have a M919 S4 but only the parts I need the LCD, touchscreen and glass.

A friend has the S4 i9500 with burnt motherboard. So my question is: Can I use parts of M919 with i9500 screen?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
I think you can.

Granted the best research I could come up with in 30 seconds was a bunch of eBay auctions selling the screen and listing the same part as compatible with the i9500 and i9505. But that'll have to do.

If it works on the 9505 it'll be fine for the 919. Of that I'm sure. They are the same device.

The big difference on the 9500 was the processor. I can't imagine they'd engineer a different screen for it.

If it's not compatible, I HIGHLY doubt that it's so incompatible that anything would break. So I don't see a risk.

But if I was a gambling man I'd bet heavy on it working.

Keep in mind...it's your phone. Your repair. If anything breaks, it's on you.

I was trying to revert to 4.2.2 so I could try calibrating my dead gyro sensor, and ODIN failed. I thought, ok I'll just try again. Nothing. Tried different firmware, different odin, nothing. Flashing any piece of firmware comes with failed after 'aboot'. I tried to wipe the internal storage with the repartition and even that failed. I'm in a really awkward spot, Kies isn't working with it either. Any help?

No Sound

Hello Guys,

Sry for my English :p I hope someone can help me.

Like the Titel explain I have no sound at the speaker or headphones.

I try latest version of ClockworkMod Recovery and latest version of PhilZTouch Recovery. The ROMs which I try were Google Play Edition and Stable CM11 both latest Snapshots.

Every combination I tryed there were no Sound. I try to flash different versions of modems without any succsess.

When I change from GooglePlayEdition to CM11 I had sound for about 5 min and I can watch YouTube. But after the sound didn't worke again.

My last hope was to flash the stock ROM which I downloaded from Sammobile.com and flashed it succsessfully with Odin3 3.10.

But also NO SOUND:crying:

PLEAS HELP:crying:

Thanks and Greetings from Germany.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
The only thing I can think of is that your bootloader and modem aren't matching. Do check that using the Samsung phone info app from play store. Also make sure that the firmware you flashed using Odin flashed correctly. All the best ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] timme2k:
I think its the same ?

Thank You for your Replay. I had install the app and

Bootloader Version:I9505XXUGNG8

Baseband Version:I9505XXUGNG8

and PDA Version:I9505XXUGNG8

All the same :(

Everytime the Odin Flash passed without any failure.

Tried to install TWRP. Was unsuccessful.

I had ClockworkMod recovery (v6.0.4.4) and wanted to flash TWRP. I downloaded the app, found my phone jfltetmo, and tried to install twrp-2.5.0.0

I am concerned that I might be in an unstable state with regards to the recovery. Can anyone point me to the next steps?

(Help!) Calling issues

When I call someone it automatically connects to the line without any ringing ( only hear silence). When someone calls me I can't hear them and they cannot hear me.

People on XDA said to flash the NK2 modem. It didn't work

Today I flashed the NK2 stock rom 4.4.4 from ShinySide and the NK2 modem with LTE, which didn't solve the problem.

Checked baseband, bootloader, and modem and everything checks out to be the same.

Anyone know how to fix this?????
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pr1nc3ssbytchfac3:
The key to not breaking sound on the T-Mobile S4 when flashing the I9505 intl roms is that ur bootloader version & ur LTE modem version MUST match. I.e. both must be M919UVUDMDL, M919UVUEMK2, M919UVUFNH7, etc. The radio can be flashed to whatever works best in ur area, but the LTE modem ALWAYS has to match ur bootloader.

A few things have happened since that post: I noticed that using WhatsApp from the web browser normally presaged this error. I also jiggled the SIM card about a bit. And with these two changes, the phone appeared fine for a week or so. Then I updated my recovery to TWRP and immediately got this error. I decided to flash a 5.0.1 ROM. I still get SIM Card removed error. I lose all bars, and have no voice or data. I can't see APNs in my Settings either. It typically happens after I either use Whatsapp or Messenger. I am not sure if it's a software thing at this point or if it's still hardware.

I am planning to go to Tmo and get a new SIM card to see if that fixes things. Is there anything else I can do?

EDIT: I think I may have found the problem. I was not receiving group SMSes and I turned on a setting in Textra that would temporarily disable WiFi and send the SMS through LTE. The problem began right after that. I disabled it today, and will see if that fixes it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ashwinmudigonda:
I had this same issue. It turned out that I had set a setting in Textra to temporarily turn off WiFi to fetch MMS data. This was causing my issue. Once I unchecked it, the issue disappeared. Pay attention to all your messaging apps (Whatsapp, etc.) See if there is a setting that you have enabled recently. Try uninstalling all of them and see if it goes away. Try running it in Safe Mode and see if it's stable.

Help with data recovery on S4 with broken connector to the LCD

So,

i have dropped my Galaxy S4 a few times, (this would be the 3rd time). I have successfully changed the LCD before, and was trying to do so again, only this time it doesn't work. This kinda happened the 2nd time i had issues with the LCD connector, but i eventually got it to work. This time, no luck. After looking at my GF's S4, i notice that i must've messed up the connector to the screen on my phone's logic board... the tiny little connector is missing a tiny little pin on the edge. as well as missing some hard plastic (which i assume helps hold the connector in place). Testing everything out, the new screen i bought works on her phone, but none of screens work on my phone. Since when it's all put together, the notification light ends up blinking, i know that the broken phone essentially works, just that , so the screen just won't come on.

SO.... QUESTIONS

My first long-winded question is, since i had a pattern lock on my phone, i can't get my files off of it when i connect via USB. I had a particularly good game of SimCity BuildIt going, and wanted to get it off. And a few photos that I hadn't had a chance to back up. Is there a way, via connecting to USB to get files off (without having to unlock it)??

Second Question (which I figure is more of a long-shot).... I looked to see if there any logic/motherboard replacements available but i didn't see any in stock at legit places, and wary of buying (a probably stolen) one off of ebay. however, IF I WERE to find a replacement mother board, is there anyway that I could use the memory from this logic board so that I'd still have my files/config/ROM??? (essentially taking the HDD outta my computer and putting in another)

Thanks in advance

EDIT: PS, wow my sig is really old.

EDIT: found a mother board layout picture, and it looks as if the memory is on the board and not removable., so my second question was kinda dumb. Boo.

SGH-M919, 4.4.4, stock, not rooted. After 1 or more calls completed, a call can be placed or received, and the phone sends/receives no call audio. All follow-on calls will have no call audio in either direction. The fix is: REBOOT. C'mon, it's a phone, make a damn call. The calls connect but no audio. Wi-fi, 4G, 2G, in network, out of network, doesn't matter. This to me very much sounds like a software issue - anyone ever run into this? I'm betting it's an app I have loaded...
