[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
1. Flashing ROM will NOT change the baseband or bootloader. They ate different things. Almost all ROMs come with a Kernel built in the ROM itself and ONLY Kernel will change as you change the ROM. You can also change the Kernel if you like however you'll need to find a compatible Kernel for your phone and ROM. If you haven't done it before please be cautious. It's OK to use the ROM the way it is out of box unless you are an advanced user and know 'HOW TO' in case something goes wrong. I don't want to scare you however having compatible Kernel is important, else the phone won't boot up.

2. Yes you are correct. As you are on the latest bootloader just go ahead and flash any compatible ROM. You should be fine as long as you don't attempt to downgrade the bootloader.

Hope this helps :thumbup:

download boot only?

I was running the sickness insane V7, was working great, rebooted a few times. Since things were going well I odin in the new modem, went fine, booted in for the second flash and it failed.

Since then no booting up. I've used 2 different odin's, twrp and philz, 3 different stock firmwares and fenny's fixed. Only the twrp and philz actually succeed. The firmwares fail quickly.

Am I missing some sequence or something to get back in business? I feel as if I've tried every combination to get this to work again, any help would be much appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lalec:
Try flashing a different radio. Select one that is compatible with the stock ROM you are flashing. You didn't give enough detail to be any more specific. LTE radio version has to be the version specifically compatible with your bootloader version. The GSM radio can be updated separately from bootloader.

Also, I use Odin 3.07 and PhilzTouch on my own S4 and they work just fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vayn23:
So I've recently noticed that when I set all my notifications to off/silent and put headphones in my phone will still beep obnoxiously at me when I receive a phone call. Is there someway to turn this feature off? I didn't put my ringtone on silent just for my ringtone to be obnoxious beeps lol

Hello guys.

I got a Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919) as a gift from the US.

But I live in Germany and I just want to know if I can flash the original Samsung Rom for my country?

AS I know it is the 9505dbt.

Is it possible or not?

I mean I heard that I can't use LTE with this phone in Europe.

It has a Tmobile branding which I don't want.

I don't know if it has a simlock too I'll check it today.

Is there a cheap legal way to unlock my device?

Thank you for helping me

And greetings from germany
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
You should be able to flash any ROM made for an i9505 to teh T mobile variant.

However, I don't think you NEED it to connect to a European GSM network. You can flash it if you want to change the T Mobile USA bloatware into local German bloatware.

You will need to unlock the phone though or it won't accept your German SIM card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
What ROM?

In AOSP roms there is a setting to change notifications to a soft vibration during calls. But I don't know if that's included in TouchWiz.

If all else fails, and you are rooted, you can figure out what sound file it's using for the beep and replace it with a blank sound.

A few months ago, I updated to 4.3, but I didn't know that Triangle Away wouldn't work to reset the flash counter.

What can I do now to get it back to Stock ROM? Because I want to update to 4.4 Kitkat.

odin

good morning i was wondering about odin and do i need to do a full wipe before i install the stock firmware via odin or does odin over write everthing and when i am done installing the firmware should i wipe dalvik and cashe partitions again.

thanks for your help i really appreciate it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Odin will do all the wiping for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Triangle Away will reset the flash counter on 4.3. It's worked thousands upon thousand of times for other XDA forum members.

It won't reset the Knox flag. Nothing will.

Is Triangle Away is really not working for you for the flash counter, did you restore a stock TW rom and kernel? It requires those. You can flash them in recovery and then run Triangle Away.

Never had this happen before

So ive rooted my galaxy s4 b4 and have flashed all different roms and have gone back to stock multiple times but for some reason this time it just gave up on me. i had used the cyanogenmod installer a month ago and it installed cyanogenmod 11. i loved it but i used my IR remote on it alot and i really wanted to go back to stock/ factory 4.2.2. so i used mobile odin like i always have before. but durring its process of doing what it does it just stopped. black screen. and now when i turn on my phone it just displays the samsung galaxy s4 screen and then its black. not bootloop because ive had that happen before. and when i try to go to recovery it does the same thing. but im able to go into download mode but odin wont find my phone and i have tried every single cable i have and every usb port and nothing. please help me because i really love this phone. thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LostAnkh:
I flashed the Official Stock ROM for 4.3, rooted with CF Auto Root, reset counter with Triangle Away, and factory reset. Then I updated to 4.4.2 OTA, but now my Wi-Fi isn't working at all.

Is it because I didn't do a full wipe(I forgot), and just a factory reset? Or was it something else? I just want to get this all back to Official Stock with no problems, and stay away from this kind of stuff until I've done more research (I came in unprepared...)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vayn23:
I'm on touchwiz, but I should be able to track that file down and reppace it pretty easily. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
The wifi thing is a common problem. Do a search to find the answer. I'd tell you but I never did the 4.4 OTA so I havent' messed with it myself and don't know the answer off the top of my head.

I can tell you that I had the wifi issue on 4.2 stock roms and the answer was the reflash the stock rom in Odin and somehow it all fixed itself. That's worth a shot. Or search teh board more for that answer on wifi with 4.4. I know that's been discussed here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] saleandoli@aol.com:
Were you on 4.2.2 when you were last on stock? Or did you possibly update to 4.4/4.3 because then you would not be able to downgrade back to 4.2 .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] buntobo:
Flashed the SOKP ROM, it updated the phones version from android 4.2.2 to 4.4.2.

Is it possible to flash a recovery of another ROM that I made that was running 4.2.2 on top of the SOKP 4.4.2 ROM?

I have made a complete Nandroid backup of the 4.2.2 ROM; including the data, cache, etc. so everything is backed up.

I want to revert back to the 4.2.2 ROM to save all of my contacts and export it to my SD card then flash another ROM.

I did not update the phone to 4.4.2 or 4.4 before I made the backup, it was still 4.2.2 with the NB4 baseband flashed.

Is it doable? or am I stuck with the SOKP 4.4.2 with no way to go back to the 4.2.2 rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MysticBlueDragon:
i have now the official update of 4.4.2. i used the cf-autoroot by chainfire and rooted the phone.

no notification sounds on CM11

Forum noob here, not too much of a droid ROM flashing noob though. I'll try to make it brief.

Have a Tmobile S4 (duh) with the CM 11 4/24 nightly. This has been going on for the better half of this month. Can't think of a particular event that would've triggered this glitch.

I have no notification sounds whatsoever, or they will be intermittent at best. It's as if the phone is stuck on vibrate mode. I've checked everything I can possibly think of: Volume sliders are all maxed out, both in the settings menu and the volume key shortcut. The files for my default notification sounds are in the correct location and I can play them elsewhere on the phone (so they're not corrupted). I have no porifles or quiet hours enabled whatsoever. I checked every app indicidually, and they all have notifications enabled. As I said, it's strictly just the sounds that won't play. It will still vibrate, do the LED light, and the whole nine yards, minus sounds. I even tried reverting to a backup from before when I believe this started happening, but nothing changed. Today, something odd happened, I did hear a text notification sound, but it was extremely faint. I checked all the volume settings and confirmed everything was still maxed out. Otherwise, the phone has been completely silent. Interestingly when receiving calls my ringtone works fine. But text/email/IM/Social notifications wont. Nothing has changed in the settings to the best of my knowledge.

I've scoured the web and these forums to find something similar but had no luck.

This is aggravating as hell since I frequently miss messages and what not since the vibration on this thing is too damn suttle (despite setting it to it's most "violent" setting).

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I"m kinda hoping I"m just being an idiot and overlooking something really simple.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Yes. You MIGHT have to flash a T Mobile specific kernel. It depends on if Omega has gone to the new system of having universal builds for S4 devices or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
I'd do a full wipe and clean install of the ROM and see if the problem persists. It could be something that glitched that isn't being fixed by nightly updates. Or a settings conflict.

If that's the case then a full wipe and reflash SHOULD fix it.

There is almost certainly a way to fix it without doing a full wipe and re-flash. But it coudl take hours or days to diagnose it. You've already spent a month and a half. The wipe and reflash would take about an hour to get the phone back to set up the way you like it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] quadgore:
I was thinking about doing that, but came here looking for someone that's hopefully had the same issue.

I'm also paranoid that I'd have the same issue even after a flash. Wouldn't be the first time.

I'll wait a day or two and see if anyone has any more insight.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
You arent' risking anything by reflashing. Jus tmake a nandroid backup of your current ROM first. You can always revert to it.

Just to test this you can do a clean flash, test the notifications, and restore your current ROM. That whole process will take about 15 minutes to test.

And if you stick with the same ROM, you can flash the clean version and if it works, wipe data and reflash the data from your nandroid backup. The phone should then boot up with your original settings. Though that might break the notification again IF the problem is in your data partition.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MysticBlueDragon:
so im still in the 50/50 situation. will my phone hard brick or soft brick if omega didnt use the universal builds for s4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
If you flash a ROM with an incompatible kernel you would just get a bootloop at the bootanimation screen.

You will have full access to recovery to flash a different kernel, restore a working ROM, or whatever else you need to do.

In other words, VERY soft brick. More like soft clay that hasn't even harded into brick yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MysticBlueDragon:
wow that's great to hear then i can try it many times i want.. thank you very much.. :fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Yeah it's really difficult to hard brick and S4. You have to really really try, and it involves a hammer and a bucket of water.

Just flashing things in recovery, as long as you don't stary from the basic instructions, shouldn't even give you a hard brick.

Now, you do have limitations. You have to flash ROMs from the GSM based S4 variants. You can't get a Verizon ROM and expect it to work properly. (Unless you get one of the new hybrid ROMs that work on all variants). You can't ever use a ROM for the i9500 version as it has a different processor. But you can always use an AT&T rom, or an i9505 International variant ROM.

Again worst case is that it doesn't boot, and then you just boot to recovery and start over.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST

You would be shocked how many people skip that step.

Alright I'll give it a shot and report back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] djphooka:
Hi. So I updated to bootrom 4.3 and installed the deoxed version. After a while it stopped connecting to celluar but would make wifi calls.

Well I though that updating to 4.4.2 w/ 4.4.2 modem would fix that. Nope.

I reverted back to 4.3 and tried flashing the mk2 modem. Then I had no sound at all.

Now I just tried to flash M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_M919UVUAMDL_HOME.tar.md5 and it FAILED in Odin.

Is that the 4.2.2 version? Do i need to flash stock 4.3 tar.md5? If so where can i find that?

Thanks in advance, I am soft bricked as of now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
How did you update to 4.4?

If you used Odin to update to an official 4.4 stock rom, you are stuck on the 4.4 bootloader and radio. It also means you can't use Odin to flash a 4.3 or 4.2 stock ROM.

"Sorry, The player doe not support this type of audio file"

I'm not so much a n00b but don't really understand what I have flashed wrong or right.

Wifi won't turn on and the dialer is white and doesn't connect either.

Baseband version: M919UVUEMK2

Kernel: 3.4.-440244

Build Number: JDQ39.M919UVUAMDB
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lalec:
One thing for certain, you need a ROM that is compatible with your baseband. When you start installing LTE radio that is wrong version for your bootloader and start installing wrong GSM radio you will have those types of problems. Search for k0nane's return to stock thread except be sure to use a compatible ROM. He first wrote that for UVUAMDL 4.2.2 so you need to download full stock version of whatever ROM version you were using last time your phone worked. You could also restore a nandroid if you made one prior to messing your phone up

You can get all stock ROM versions at sammobile.com however the downloads are slow and sometimes they fail and need to be restarted. You should always check the checksum to confirm the download is complete and accurate.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] djphooka:
OK, so i'm downloading the stock 4.3 version now. Will I need to re-flash a compatable LTE or GSM radio? or will that be done with this stock version? (It's going to take about another 3 hours so i'd like to D/L in advance)

Thanks for your help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] InAMirrorDarkly:
Something annoying has been happening since the upgrade to 4.4.2 when I go to type something using the stock samsung keyboard (usually in Chrome since that is normally where I would be typing, I don't recall if this has happened in any other apps) sometimes the first letter will get doubled. For example if I was trying to type "xda" I would get "xxda". This doesn't happen every time but seems to happen more often the longer it has been since i last used the keyboard. This has happened on 4 different roms, (Goldeneye and Omega i9505 roms, Fenny's base for M919 and my own homebrew rom built from stock NB4 odin tar). Is this a bug in the samsung keyboard or maybe chrome or could there be some other problem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lalec:
Can someone please chime in and answer? I can't easily find the radio collection thread while using my phone to read. If memory serves the download from sammobile will include the radio part but it's been almost a year since I've had to return to stock so I'm going from memory and could be wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] djphooka:
Ok, i'm back on stock 4.3 now but the calls still start with a loud beep when answering and sometimes the loud static on the receivers end is there too.

Baseband: M919UVUEMK2

I know I will have to root and flash custom recovery first anyways but what radio would be best for me now?

Thanks again all!

Hmmm... I got a lower, mid-screen pop-up that said "Intent Detected". I have never seen this before, and the web has little to nothing on it, what it does have,the words are found inside of "code".... anyone seen this or know what it is, or know what this means? I have searched the threads of the ROM I am using and there is nothing...Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lalec:
Sounds like progress. Since you are still having problems, are you sure that you did not update to the 4.4 bootloader when you were installing one of the ROMs that you installed? If you did update the bootloader you may need to stick with one of the next version ROMs. Having said that, it should be easier for you this time because you are not bricked and Samsung Kies (latest version) should be able to do all the work for you. After you get a stock ROM working with no problems, and only after that, root and install a custom recovery and before anything else make a complete nandroid backup and move it to your externalSD. Then you should be able to install one of the custom ROMs and even if you don't like it you can be back up in 15 minutes. Also, you probably already learned this the hard way (the same way I did), but just in case not, failure to perform a full wipe before installing a different ROM can easily cause a soft-brick. Good luck!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] A Murder of Crows:
Noobish Rom question

Hey all

I'm jumping into an S4 from an HTC Amaze. I did the normal root using Odin when i first got the phone, installed a touch-friendly CWM ReqOvery v1.0.3.3, but haven't done anything with it since. This is a first for me as i normally am ALL OVER custom roms.

Due to some strange issues i've had with the phone, i decided that i would backup, wipe, and try installing the latest official firmware. This is where i started getting very lost.

First off, i read up on KNOX and i know i'm not a fan of it, so i hope to avoid having it on my system or having it "bust" an efuse, or whatever else might happen when i root. That said, i have no idea which stock-ish rom i should use.

Is there a way to bypass/remove KNOX on the latest official firmware that doesn't break warranty or cause the counter to move up? If not, which rom should i move up to if i'm still on stock from last year?

Next, the only thing i really care about keeping from the original rom i have is the camera app, and honestly if there was a better app out there today, i'd probably just replace this one, but i do like the gimmicky features of this camera. The only thing that has hit me with Kitkat that was super interesting was Tap-to-Pay. That said:

If there is no way around KNOX, is there any reason not to flash the Google Play Edition rom?

Lastly, i'm going to be spending a lot more time reading the forum when i get the chance, but since my phone is currently out of commission awaiting an answer to these questions:

If neither the latest OTA/Official Firmware, nor the Google Play Edition rom provide me with a KNOX-Free experience with the stock camera (or better), is there an easily recommended rom?

Sorry for the noobish questions. Just not finding the information i need to make the next step. Currently sitting in recovery, waiting to see what you all say. Most likely will go back to current rom/firmware as i need to be able to get my texts in case of an emergency.

Thanks so much.
