[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ReaperKK:
I have a m919 and I just did an upgrade to kit Kat Ota. Since the upgrade my phone randomly resets. It was a stock phone no custom rom or root even. It'll crash at random times, writing texts, making calls, plug the charger in. Often times it'll do three or more resets.

I've down a reset from the settings menu as well as gone into recovery and did a reset, didn't help.

I'm thinking of installing a custom rom. My phone is incredibly more frustrating to use especially with 4.3 it worked perfectly. Any one have any recommendations as what to do?

Hello again I was wondering if you could help me update my t-mobile galaxys4 modem I tried to install infamous s4 rom and the wifi wants to work but not really I was told I probably need to update my modem thanks a bunch
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
It sounds like the system files got borked during install. Or it's a hardware problem.

If it's a hardware problem it's tougher to fix.

But you can try to fix software problems and hope they work.

If you want a stock ROM, you can try using Odin to flash it. That will give you the exact same 4.4 set up you have now. And if it's as simple as the OTA install got messed up, that should fix it.

Next you can try installing a custom ROM. If the problem is that your OTA was borked during install, this will cure it as well.

If you do a custom ROM and the propblem persists, it's a hardware problem.

The first thing to look at though in terms of a hardware problem would be the battery. Take it out and inspect it. See if it looks to have any physical damage like bubbling or other mishaped parts. It's a known problem on a specific run of batteries that wer eproduced. It's possible you still have one that just now is going bad. Though it's unlikely that it would go bad exactly teh same time you did an upgrade. I'm not one for coincidences like that.

Not without knowing what went wrong, we can't. What did you do? Where did it fail? How do you know it failed? What have you tried?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
There is a ROM in the development section that looks like exactly what you are looking for. Right now it's one of the only TouchWiz 4.4 ROMs. You can't miss it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] phrotac:
The digitizer/lcd assembly is the same for all variants of the s4. That piece also contains the sticker of which you are referring. It sounds to me like the assembly was replaced with one from a used Sprint s4. I work in a cell phone repair shop as a tech. I specialize in Android, Apple, and repairing liquid damaged phones.

i've been having this problem with my sgh m919 for the past couple of weeks, when ever i want to use YouTube on my phone, i get this error message, "unfortunately YouTube has stopped". i've tried clearing cache, and clearing data, force stopping it, uninstalling updates, and nothing seems to be working. i'm lost for options on what to do, all i want is youtube back on my phone. can anyone help??:mad:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Toastalator:
So I've clearly been out of the loop for awhile. I come back and there's so much new stuff that I've tried combing through all day but I'm so very confused.

What exactly is knox? I've seen posts where people think it's the bane of androids existence and some where they say it doesn't matter at all. And now a lot of roms say "Knox free", unless you already have it. Is it samsung trying to secure the boot loader or what?

And I think because if this it's made upgrading a giant mess. You have new modems but they're hybrids or you can upgrade but only if you have a certain one, or you can use it but it causes sound issues. Then they're new versions of android, 4.3/4/4.4..., and can't figure out if I can just flash a new rom with a higher version or if I need a new boot loader or new modem or what needs to done.

So my question is this, what exactly do I need to do to update to the current stable version of android for my tmo gs4?

I'm currently running Frosty Jellybean v3 (apparently now discontinued), on 4.2.2, baseband MDL, and I assume the MDL boot loader.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] phrotac:
Neither, actually. Provided it is being reported correctly, that model is the International Google edition. It is the exact same hardware as the m919, so, for all intents and purposes, you can safely say you have an unlocked GSM phone compatible with T-Mobile and AT&T both. That is, if it is being reported correctly.

I'm not a complete noob,,, Just partially...

I'm have this same issue trying to get KitKat on to my T-Mo S4... Stock... Rooted a few times using the Kingo app on Win 7 - But currently un-rooted.

I'm getting this when I attempt to update the OS to KitKat (via Recovery Mode):

"/system/xbin/dexdump" has unexpected contents.

Of course it also fails at 28-29% when I tried it from OTA update.

Can someone point me to where I can learn how to flash the mk2 tar file and where to find that file...?

I have an ATT s4 MK2 build. I just switched to T-Mobile, and want a T-Mobile modem/radio... I'd also like to go to a KitKat 4.4.2 ROM (from my 4.3 ROM).

Can someone please advise the steps for going to a T-Mobile "build." I had a painful softbrick when ROMing my "MK2" build, and I am confused by the forums different answers to switching to the T-Mobile modem (and if these directions apply for an MK2 build which can not use the Loki Exploit for ROMs)

A simple "yes you can" or "no you can't" would be much appreciated here. Thank you :)

Ok I have decided since my phone is out of warranty, I am ready to take the Knox plunge and replace the bootloader to get away from hybrid modems.

You are correct. You could odin to the stock 4.2.2 or 4.3, but you need to first remove root or odin will fail, or at least it does for me anyway. Good luck with your venture ;)

The TMO and ATT radios are compatible. There is no need to change it. Honestly, I dont think you can flash the TMO radio on an ATT phone anyway since the bootloader is locked down. Simply unlock, put in your TMO sim card, and set up TMO apn ;)

Need fix: Mobile Odin Modem Flash borked phone, now stuck. Offering bounty

So I have read flashed, read some more and I have gotten nowhere in 5 hours. Going to reach out here:

Situation: used Mobile Odin to flash the 4.4 modem from Fenny's 4.4.2 Stock ROM with MK2, (I'm a dumbass). Upon reboot I would get the SG4 logo then the blue mobile odin logo, then freeze. Was able to get into TW 2.7 but nothing would write, would say that it appeared that ROM wasn't rooted. Odin'd cf-auto, brought me back to stock recovery, odin'd TW 2.6.3.1 so now i'm back into custom. Went to go to one of my backups on my extSD, and it restored. Now I'm stuck at the SG4 logo. Attempted to flash firmware back to AMDL to start over..... nothing is happening. Still stuck on logo. Looking for any suggestions, $20 bounty for a fix
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
If you are able to get back into recovery, get back to the part where you had twrp 2.6.3.1.

Then restore your backed up rom like you said you already did. (You may still be at that point, but it's not clear if you overwrote that restore when you tried to use Odin.)

Once you are back at that point, wipe cache and dalvik from your restored rom. See if it boots then.

S4 android 4.4.2 root

Is there any way to root android 4.4.2 without tripping KNOX counter?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] phrotac:
Thank you for clarifying. Roms are installed through recovery and not with a computer. That is why you are having problems. Simply place the rom on your external sdcard, move anything you want to keep from your internal sdcard to your external sdcard, and turn your phone off completely. Boot into recovery by holding the volume up button and your power button at the same time (the m919 does not need to have the home button pressed to enter recovery or download mode). Now, Im not familiar with cwm because it is an inferior recovery, IMHO, but you need to wipe system, data, cache, dalvic cache, and your internal sdcard. When changing roms, you need to wipe your internal sdcard. If you are only upgrading a rom, you do not need to wipe your internal sdcard unless A) The developer of a rom tells you to, or B) The rom has gone through an OS change (ie - going from 4.2.2 to 4.3). Next, install the rom by choosing the eqiivalent of "install zip." Navigate to the rom and install. Once finished, wipe cache and dalvic cache again and then "fix permissions," or the cwm equivalent, and then reboot. Set up your rom. Profit!

Hi, I'm from Canada and have a Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919V.

I have a problem updating my phone using OTA. Background information:

I got my phone from Wind Mobile, and rooted it (I'm not sure which root) around 3 months ago. Before I rooted it I updated to 4.4 kit kat using OTA. I recently unrooted my phone. The Android version it says I now have is 4.3. I used Triangle away to reset flash counter before I unrooted. My unrooted method is using Superusers full/complete unroot. I then continued on to perform a factory reset and wipe cache using the 3 button mode. After the reboot the phone would give me a notice that I have an update available. I would download the update and hit Install. When the device shuts down and reboots again, in the middle of installing the update at ~17% the sideways android would say error and reboot. I'm not sure if I should use Kies like it suggests after it tells me update fails, or use Odin. After searching for a week I came to the conclusion that I might not be able update because I'm already at 4.4 and the phone doesn't recognize that. I'll include photos below. Thanks for the help - Tyler

Tumblr: Starts up, navigates fine, but NO pictures load even though there's plenty of traffic on the network.

Waze, first start up, nothing but the waze logo screen. Can't even back out, have to force close the app.
