Hi, i have a problem. My phone wont mount everything. I mean i can't flash firmware via Odin or flash custom rom via CWM. I dont know why. I go to CWM>Mounts and storage, and i press mount /data then my phone says "Error mounting /data" ! This problem occurs in all mounts(i mean data,system,sdcard,sd-ext). I hope that somebody understand me.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ast00:
Also happened to me. Flash stock, then CWM and our should work. I never figured out the reason why it happened, but it's fixed by this.

Try a 4 package 2.2, then flash one package 2.3, then CWM. Finding a 4 package froyo isn't easy, I found it on a random Russian forum.

I have a four package 2.3 it is European xxkp or sth ...

Always use four package when you revert to stock from anything else just to prevent complications ....

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryandonovan22:
Hello All,

New to owning an android device and so far I like it, well that is Is like android, but not the slow and sometimes laggy touchwizz

I think I want to root and flash a 4.2.2 Rom onto my phone.

I have a few questions for you guys though.

Is rooting and installing a flashed ROM easy?

Once I have gone to a flashed ROM I assume I can only update be flashing a new ROM?

Is there ever a way to put my Galaxy S4 to a state in which you'd never know it had been modyfied?

I notice there are ROMS to go back to touchwizz, do they have the automatic updates as originally intended by Samsung?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazbot:
Here isn't the right place for questions. There is an exclusive section only for that. Over XDA is possible to find a lot of tutorials teaching how to root and install a custom ROM. Root is easy, it was released CF-Auto-Root, you just need install drivers, odin and flash on your phone. In order to install a rom you need to do a similar process to use custom recovery that will be able to install ROM's.

If you have i9505 you can use Triangle Away app that will erase any trace. But if you have i9500 (octa), that isn't possible (yet, as people say). But you always can return to stock rom, kernel, etc.

If i'm not saying a mistake, some rom's allow you to receive updates.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ostress:
Yes it's fairly easy. There are tons of guides here and on YouTube. Takes like 2 minutes.

That's correct.

You can revert back to stock and get official updates yes. There's a tool/app called triangle away that you need to run, then boot recovery and do a wipe. After that go in to download mode and flash stock rom from Odin. Maybe this wasn't the most detailed response hehe. I always recommend to beginners to look up a guide on YouTube that shows this step by step. Then it's difficult to fail ;)

If you run in to problems just come back here and ask. Also don't forget to do a backup of your stock rom from your recovery just in case.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BabelHuber:
It is easy and difficult at the same time :)

First of all, it does not hurt to be computer-savy. Your phone is a little computer, nothing else.

If you know what a Bootloader is and a Kernel and a ROM and if you know what an administrator is and if you can install Windows on a PC, you shouldn't have much troubles. Even better is when you already have some Linux knowledge.

OTOH if you are the type of person who has difficulties using a computer at all, or if you think Windows 7 is too complicated to handle, you will face more difficulties (OTOH you will learn a lot!).

So the rule of thump is:

As long as you follow instructions, but do not know what the hell you are doing, follow all instructions very closely. As you progress, you will know what you do, and then it gets much easier.

Have fun!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryandonovan22:
Done it!

Was easier than I imagined.

I've installed custom ROM's reverted back to a backup and the likes, just taking it through the motions so I know how to do everything.

My next question is.... How to I remove CWM Recovery if I want the phone to go completely back to stock?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazbot:
Just flash stock rom via odin founded in sammobile. there is stock roms, just put the unique file in PDA and start. It contains recovery, kernel, region customization and modem. Do wipe data and cache before flash. If it stop in boot logo, enter stock recovery and do wipe cache, and a factory reset.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mroxogen:
I just want to add a small note here,as I just started rooting and flashing.PLEASE backup everything ,literally everything.Without backing up the state where your phone is not rooted and not flashed, there is no way you can go back to that state.

Also use nandroid backup and a backing up app which backs up your ESF files.

Hello gents,

I just picked up an S4 last night on Bell...model number is SGH-I337M I assume.

I haven't turned it on yet...just charged it.

I've been reading the forums this morning, and I keep seeing posts about not doing the OTA update. Is that for AT&T phones only? I read about locked bootloaders...is the I337M locked as well? From what I read, I think it is not?

I wasn't planning on rooting or flashing immediately...maybe not ever to be honest...but I'd like to option to be there should I want to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:

Hi,

I have an unlocked GSM international HTC One, bought from Handtec (UK).

I'm going to USA next week, and wanted to buy a prepaid sim card with a 3g plan. So far the best option that i found is T-mobile. But i have doubts about compatibility.

Will i be able to have LTE with my current internatonal One with a T-mobile network ? Or at least 3G/H ? or is it going to be limited only to Edge, as i've read somewhere ? I think T-mobile only uses 1700 and 2100 UMTS bands, which i think my phone is not compatible with...please correct me if im wrong.

Which US GSM network would be the best (compatibility wise) option for my phone ?

Thanks

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raghav2511:
I may be wrong (so you may want to cross check the info).

T-Mobile uses AWS bands for LTE; International HTC One doesn't support the AWS required by T-Mobile. You MIGHT be able to use 3G/H.

Sprint is CDMA so that's off the table.

I think AT&T will be your best. You might wanna check the coverage in the intended area of use of any carrier you choose.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Rejo:
Hey, i currently have a PDA2K and was wondering if there are any possibilities of installing extra video drivers.

The reason I say this is, I currently have Betaplayer installed and my ATI driver does not seem to work due an "out of video memory" msg that appears when i play my avi files.

When i use the other video drivers the avi files seems to get stuck every few mins.

Any idea guys??

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] UNOPARATOR:
I think the real problem is you are trying to play a high resolution video on your PPC... I had the same problem when I first got my 1GB SD-Card and put a 700MB DivX on that... Because those DivX files (which are encoded for real PCs) have higher resolutions (bigger than 320x240 - the resolution of QVGA PPC - PDA2k is one of them) and bitrates need more video memory which you can't benefit from a video driver upgrade (if any newer driver is available anyway)...

###{I may not be accurate about the lines above, these are my generalizations from my experiences}###

You should use PocketDivXEncoder for converting your DivX files to be playable on PPC, it doesn't take long comparing to ripping a DVD to DivX...

I hope this would help you and any others having the same problem...

Hi,

I'm thinking about getting a GT-I9505G (I own an I9500 now but living in the San Francisco market so I want to experience the LTE service). I do like (and got used to) the TouchWiz and some of the S-* services (I know many do not like that, I find those useful :) ).

Is there a way to flash the I9505G with an I9505 stock ROM? or at least have the TouchWiz running on a I9505G based ROM?

I've been browsing the forums but could not find an answer for that...

Thanks,

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dublinz:
you can choose between either go with 9505g and flash TW rom in recovery, or vice versa with 9505 (root,flash....)

You cant "convert" i9505 to i9505g or vice versa (so far)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gilbnx:
Thanks dublinz, so the I9505 and I9505G is a compatible hardware, even in terms of LTE bands. Right? I guess this has been discussed in the forums before so sorry if I'm repeating the same question :)

(BTW, my 100th post in xda.. yey!)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dublinz:
And first thank you :)

i9505 and i9505g share same hardware, in terms of LTE bands it should be the same thought freq is activated by modem (different modem for different countries to match frequencies of local networks)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gilbnx:
Thank you for the thank you dublinz!

This is an important point! Are you saying the different LTE frequencies are controlled by the installed modem? In other words, is that all software-dependent and not HW dependent? Can I run an I9505 (or I9505G) in any country that has LTE as long as I install the relevant modem?? I'm sure I somewhat generalized the question and I'm still trying to find out the differences between "Bands" and "Frequencies" when it comes to LTE.

Thanks!

As part of the modem we have LTE driver, in some countries LTE is disabled due to fact that they dont have LTE capabilityes, in others its enabled.

To answer to your question should you change modem each time you change country , answer is NO,

If you in England and you install modem for England , whenever you boot phone English LTE settings will kick in ;UNLESS you are in roaming, in that case modem will try to negotiate LTE values with host network....

Theoretically, yes - but there is no custom recovery yet for the I9505G. None of the phone's storage will mount when you flash a I9505 recovery.

stand corrected ...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tublah:
No worries. Also, the partition layout is different on the Google Edition (more free space on the internal storage, due to system being smaller than TouchWiz). So we'd have to figure out a way to resize the GE to TW partition sizes. I'm using a I9505G right now and hoping to be able to play with the TouchWiz goodies, too. :)

I am one of the lucky souls who was able to update their RAZR Maxx HD and keep root, but the radios failed to flash. I'm unlocked too.

I looked up flashing radios through fastboot thinking the radio image was pretty obvious in the Blur_Version.9.16.6.XT926.Verizon.en.US.zip file. In the modem directory there are a series of files, but not an obvious radio image.

I've seen commands such as "fastboot flash radio radio.img" and "fastboot flash radio_cdma radio_cdma.img" on my old phone, galaxy nexus. It doesn't seem the same here for Motorla. Can someone give me a an idea of what we really have for a radio image inside of the update? I'm probably not understanding something that's real simple here, I apologize in advance.

You do not have to relock your bootloader to do the upgrade. If you have S-off then you can just follow the instructions for flashing. It will upgrade you hboot, so if you relock before doing it you can't get back to S-off because the revone tool doesn't work on the new hboot.

I looked and that zip has the stock recovery in it so you should delete recovery.img from that zip before flashing to keep your custom recovery.

Won't lose s-off or data.

PS - Most important thing before doing a firmware flash, DO NOT GO S-ON. Keep S-off until you need to return the device, otherwise you may not be able to get it back on and will have trouble restoring to stock if needed.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harvin23:
So this means the hboot upgrade would not affect my s-off right? Just a little paranoid about losing s-off and bricking my phone.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crushalot:
Correct, if you already have s-off then upgrading the hboot won't turn you s-on. Also since you keep s-off you can downgrade the hboot if needed.

Basically if you have s-off then pretty much nothing is going to take that away, and it will allow you to get out of most jams, so it is pretty hard to brick a device with s-off.

Keep you bootloader unlocked and keep s-off and have fun.
