Hi, a little help here! It fails! I didn't touch the pit file. And I'm on 100% original samsung's rom.
[Galaxy S 4 General] nielsvg:
how do i install this? and is this safe (as can be) with odin?

i just extract the zip UEUBMG8 XAR.zip and in odin 3.07 i choose the bootloader and choose the file I9505GUEUBMG8_I9505GXARBMG8_I9505GUEUBMG8_HOME.tar.md5

do i have to choose the pit file also and under what then: pda, phone or csc?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Theshawty:
You can't install the bootloader, modem or pit.
[Galaxy S 4 General] nielsvg:
the how to?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Theshawty:
Not possible at all. You can only flash the system, csc and boot.
[Galaxy S 4 General] nielsvg:
But you can flash the latest leak with odin or not?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Theshawty:
Yes, but only the three parts I mentioned. The renowned dare devil [MENTION=4695277]Aerys[/MENTION] learned that the hard way ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] nielsvg:
and what does the thing doe you cant flash? what for effect will have this?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Theshawty:
Bootloader: controls the download mode, etc. I don't know much about it.

Pit: partition table

Modem: controls LTE, 3G, GSM, etc.

The modem and pit should theoretically be flashable as the hardware is the same on the I9505 and the I9505G but the bootloader protects these partitions specifically. Kinda like what S-ON does on HTC devices.
[Galaxy S 4 General] echo_rc:
Yeah... now we need to thinking how we can unlock the bootloader so we can flash modem and PIT
[Galaxy S 4 General] Febby:
What ever you've thought or will think, others have thought 10x more steps lol... at the moment many think it is impossible. I hope it.changes soon because I'd hate to sale my 32GB S4 :(

[Galaxy S 4 General] The111:
Out of curiosity, do you know why not? It seems odd since the M919 is supposed to be the same hardware as the 9505G. Not sure how the 9505 compares to those two, but at best it is identical and at worst not, so I would have guessed if this worked on there it would work on M919 too.

Hi all, i need a little help with this. I choose tar.md5 in PDA section in Odin, but it fails. Any ideas how to flash this with Odin?
[Galaxy S 4 General] K3yMaster:
If you need help then you need to provide more details. What exactly does it say when it fails?
[Galaxy S 4 General] kivanov:
1. Writing NAND. Error.

Something like that
[Galaxy S 4 General] wohenyingyu01:
Because this .tar.md5 file includes the Modem and Bootloader modules, which is not acceptable by normal i9505. All you need to do is: extract the tar.md5 and pick the Platform and CSC modules, something like system.img.ext4, recovery.img, boot.img, cache.img.ext4. and re-compress them into a new md5 pack and you are good to go with odin. :) Of course you may need to do it under Linux.
[Galaxy S 4 General] kivanov:
That was my idea too, but i'm not sure which files i should remove. Could you please give me a short list? :) I suppose that boot.img is bootloader, but as far as i know phone's bootloader will prevent ODIN from flashing unsigned new bootloader.
[Galaxy S 4 General] wohenyingyu01:
Just like i said, the "1.system.img.ext4, 2.recovery.img, 3.boot.img, 4.cache.img.ext4".

"boot.img" is not bootloader, It is something like boot animation and should be a part of ROM. "cache.img" is CSC and it's not necessary. :)

BTW, NON-HLOS.bin and modem.bin constitute Modem, which determines baseband, All the other crap is BOOTLOADER.
[Galaxy S 4 General] kivanov:
Thanks a lot! :) That's i need! :) And what about flash counter... does it increase?

Hello everybody,

I updated my Xperia Z 3 days ago. Everything was perfect, until I plugged my KossPorta Pro headphones in and played some music (I am using PowerAmp player). I noticed sound is now more distorted, less enjoyable and less crispy. Last 4.1.2 update .307 had better sound. I am not sure about stock player cause I am using PowerAmp for Bass and Treble EQ and better customization, but anyway I never ran into problem with poor quality sound on my Xperia Z until 4.2.2 update. I tried everything (factory reset,wipe everything,other update versions) but still same. I am quiet dissapointed, good quality music is very important for me.

Somebody with same problem?

Any suggestion?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
I don't have the same problem. Have you tried other head-ear phones?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flakac:
I tried, but quality was same. :L Btw, I downgraded yesterday back to .307 and sound was great. I went again to 4.2 and but nothing was changed, poor quality again. I really like 4.2 update but sound is important for me :)

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] aritrea:
Hi guys,

I noticed a decent vertical offset with all my touch inputs. Whenever I press the screen, it recognizes the touch event about 1cm below the actual input I made.

The weird thing is that this happens only in certain apps, speaking of chrome for example.

Furthermore the hover point of my spen is in the right position, but as soon as I touch the screen, it's too low. Very annoying when pressing links in chrome..

Anyone experiencing the same issue? I'm running the latest firmware bmf2 with my n5100

Ps: you can check it by hovering over the screen, pressing the spen button and then drawing a line..

Edit: this example seems to work only with gmd spen control enabled. Nevertheless the described issue is still present when using chrome and spen control disabled...

Edit:

Possible workarounds:

- flip to landscape and back

- use chrome in multi window mode
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] jutley:
I can confirm I have the same problem I thought it was just me lol.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] aritrea:
Thanks for your reply

Found out a strange thing:

If I start chrome in multi window mode (using alternate window mode) it seems to work just fine. Does this work for you, too?

At least it seems to be a software issue.. probably fixable (hopefully :) )
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] severoprisan:
It's the same for me too. Only in Chrome and sometimes the top part of the page is hidden under the address bar.

I think is software related.

Same on mine as well - very frustrating, and I don't see anything on Samsung support pages
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Baldrick1963:
Happens on mine too. To clear it try flipping it to landscape and back
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] aritrea:

Gonna post this in op as possible workaround

This is a known problem in Chrome:

https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/chrome/AL-j4HFZOEc/pHxtMmIaa6AJ

As you note, you can easily fix the offset by switching to landscape mode and back. I'm am curious, though, which other apps you've observed this problem with. The only app I've had a problem with is Chrome.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] aritrea:
And gmd spen control. If you activate it (try lite version) and draw a line with spen button pushed, you will notice exactly the same offset. Imo it's the same issue, though I have no idea what should cause it for only a few apps and not for others as well..
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] bigmout:
Interesting... does it go away if you switch to landscape then back to portrait the way Chrome does?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] aritrea:
Nope, still present. But didn't play much with it since I prefer gesture control. Haven't reported it to the developer either..

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asarangan:
Thank you for posting this. I almost threw out the phone because none of the other suggestions seemed to work.

This worked for me, but some critical steps were not mentioned in the post.

My phone was automatically booting into emergency mode. After installing the LG UNITED MOBILE DRIVER, just plugging in the phone (in emergency mode) was not enough. It did not load the drivers, and nothing showed up under modems in Device manager. There seems to be different types of emergency modes. I had to do Back + Volume up + Power and then plug it in to get the phone drivers to install. Once it showed up, I disabled the LG modem.

I also had to install the "msxml.msi" program that you had in the same KDZ_FW_UPD_EN diretcory. Without this, the program was crashing with some error messages (sorry, I didn't write them down).

I also had to run "Windows Enabler.exe" in the same directory. I am not sure what this does, but without it, the program was crashing.

Once I got past all that, at first I thought the program froze because nothing was happening and windows complained that it was "Unresponsive". It took a couple of minutes for some log messages to show up. Once it got going it took about 5 minutes to complete.

Then the first boot took a very long time, around 5 minutes. It seemed stuck on the startup screen, but eventually it took me to the phone initializations etc.. and then it worked fine after that.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s_m_a_s_h:
I am running wanamlite 14.3 (didn't want to upgrde to 14.4 due to getting use to the ROM).

Recently I found that the UK lotto app I use uninstals after a reboot or power off/on. I contacted the developer and he said to contact google, as the issue was out of his control.

However, I used T Backup and made the app a system app, that seemed to have done the trick as the app doesn't uninstal now.

Yet, aside from this problem often when trying to access my camera, the camera app will freeze and become unresponsive and after several reboot will then only work.

Also, after a full recharge the phone sporadically discharges to fast (after1hour of browers use) and/or over-heat causing the phone to turn off automagically.

All of these issues have been occuring over the last 3-4weeks.

I am unsure what if any relation to one another this has and why, as I haven't downloaded any new apps.

Advice and guidance would be appreciated, to resolve these issues.

Can you suggest a stock type ROM? or are you suggesting to go back to my out of the box ROM?

The reason I ask is that my original stock-ware was Gingerbread and I'm now on JB, and I was earlier told I cannot go back to GB (or it's hard to). I do have a nandroid backup both of my original stock-ware and one related to my current ROM (once I configured my apps and setup etc, after the original flash).

Well after my initial posting my battey failed. I'm sure it's the battery and not something on or happening to my phone. I hope.

Battery charged to 100% disconnected charger, phone ran down to about 90% and switched off!!

Will only switch on when connected to charger.

I am away from the UK so looked to buy a new battery.

I am now on the 2nd reconditioned battery, I say this as it's obvious that somebody has been tampering with the battery (looks and feels empty [no cells] and the battery feels flimsy/empty to hold). I can only assume it's reconditioned, as the wrap around samsung label peels back to easy. Tried a similar battery on Sat; it charged to 100% then switched off completely at 50% and needed to be plugged-in/recharged, the battery indicator displayed 0%!!

I took the battery back and went to another store after a refund, only to buy a similar feeling and looking battery. I can only assume samsung don't distribute here hence fake **** everywhere.

However, when using the phone all apps worked and it felt speedy(er), I guess.

Just a question: can something on my phone be causing this battery killer or its all down to fake batteries, I know my q sounds daft given the obvious physical fake battery appearance but I just wondered if anything on a smart phone can kill a genuine battery in such way? My original battery was just over 2yrs old came with the s2 new on launch.

(FYI, I do use a battery calibration app when changing batteries and roms).

Off to get a refund for this 2nd battery (same problems with the 1st one) and then into the near city to find a genuine battery (fingers crossed).
