Flash stock ROM using flashtool. As simple as that. You will get the stock phone as you got when you unboxed it.

Reflash your custom rom or restore a factory image (ftf) using flashtool, not much other stuff to do.

If you dont want to loose your data, dont wipe factory reset, just wipe cache.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhd-android:
I've got a wireless charging receiver on its way for the S4. I'm conscious of the fact that this may impact NFC performance, so I've thought about adding an NFC antenna to the S4 case instead of relying on the antenna that's on the battery. Another neat side-effect would be that I'd be able to use NFC with some 3rd party batteries I own that lack an NFC antenna.

Here's my concern. Most of the information I've read says to buy a Note 2 antenna from eBay, and use that. However, I'm skeptical that they're compatible. A lot of S4 batteries (including good brands like Anker) initially claimed to support NFC, but found out that the antennas they had stuck on their batteries didn't work because they were designed for previous phones. A new antenna design was required for the S4.

[Q] If that's an issue with the battery-integrated NFC antennas, is it not going to be the same with the NFC stick-on antennas meant for the back case?

I looked for specific S4 antennas, and found only hilariously incorrect ebay listings like this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-TMobile...er_Cell_Phone_Accessories&hash=item20d56c5a89

That claim to include an NFC antenna, but by their photos clearly show that one is not included. When questioned, the seller told me that the antenna was "integrated into the cover". Uh huh...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CountParadox:
A bit late. but whatever,

If youre getting the official QI back, it has one inbuilt.

If youre using an aftermarket qi ereceiver (like a sticker type)

then you should get a note 2 antenna.

its literally that, an antenna, a coil of wire.

I did see some s4 specific designed antenna on a chinese wholesale sight, but cant remember where...

realbbb is a very sharp guy and former Bionic owner who went through all of the "Cheescake" leaked update issues we had with that device while Motorola was struggling with the baseband firmware in the early rollout of VZW's LTE network.

This workaround is a version of the method we used when you got stuck on a non upgradeable test leak and had to revert to a prior version to move forward.

It is exactly the sort of creative thinking that is required in situations like this when you find yourself stuck by unforeseen circumstances.

This can easily and safely be tested by anyone who is currently on the update and has lost root, since the full XML.zip was released shortly after the update went live last week.

Hi All

Could it be that the described procedure (copy the first 416 bytes of the header etc.) just works fpr WWE ROM's? I tried to modify my German ROM 1.06 according this procedure...but without success.... :(

Thanks
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] LumpiStefan:
Maybe you have to explain first, what you have tried, and what didn´t work....

1. As much as i know, there is now German 1.06 ROM with big storage. There only exists a version with the T-Mobile 1.01 ROM.....

2. Changing the first x bytes of the rom is neccesary to flash the ROM. That has nothing to do with big storage....

Hi everybody

i love HTC One its a great phone as we all know HTC One has had some build quality issues. anywhere in world people have issues they get replacement

İ'm from Turkey and my friend bought One HTC One here cost us 1999 turkish lira which equivalent $1100 or £720 after we bought the phone phone we noticed that phone has dead pixels, paint coming of the metal, glass was 2mm higher and gaps so went back to shop where we bought so they said they have to send it to HTC service which is called KVK so phone was sent on 07/06/13 i havent recieved anything called HTC service everday last 2 weeks they are saying we will send e mail to service now tell them yo send you immadietly new handset so i call service they say we have not been contcted by HTC than i call HTC they than say they are waiting response from their higher departmant so on on. only way is to hire lawyer and take them to court and it takes money and time they no that thats why. anything over 1200tl comsumer protection agency can not get involve only courts. in Turkey only Company is top notch with after sale is Samsung thats why many people buy them i tell anybody to stay away from HTC
[One (M7) General] Tw1tchy:
Why didn't you bring it back to the store where you bought it from? Also there is no paint on the HTC One. Personally I think your lying but who knows.

[One (M7) General] dahmmy:
.maybe HTC aftercare is poor in Turkey,but theres a lot of stuff not good in Turkey mate..
[One (M7) General] fethi2:
totally agree with you in Turkey companies don't respect the buyer (customer) they only sell and they don't handle kinda situations and don't care about people having problems. when you buy a phone you have to get in touch with an outsourced service. so you have to deal with people only doing service business. this becomes huge problem for customer because services want to earn money and you usually get refurbished device in best case scenario. my friend in this case ( what was happened to me when i had same kind of situation at darty ) you have to accept this impolite situation, ask your phone back and sell it. sorry for your situation but this is the best thing to do.
[One (M7) General] cihanleanne:
to make such a comment you have to first reveal where you from than i can reply you

thank you but its been 45 days. ı do not even want the phone anymore had enough taking them court all 3 of them Turkcell,Kvk and HTC

Consumer laws clearly state that a rapair time for a product under warranty shall not take more than 30 days.

Take your invoice and the service records to your local consumer court (tüketici mahkemesi) and they will issue an order for full refund. I had a similar issue once and court didn't require any money, not even a lawyer, that was the best part.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ChaosMinionX:
Looks like I have a hard brick with the device manager reporting qhsusb_dload. This appears to be related to corrupt partitioning, the last thing I flashed was a zip package in CWM and rebooted the phone and it didn't reboot by vibrating and showing the Samsung logo, it just was black.

I pulled the battery and attempted to power it on again and I was getting no response from the device, I plugged it into my pc and that's when I saw the qhsusb_dload missing driver which I found drivers for, but it doesn't help me.

My question is, is this something JTAG can fix? I don't want to take a chance on warranty replacement and getting a MF3 factory phone since I wont be able to Loki. Any info would be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GiantBallSack:
Yes, unfortunately it's down to JTAG with a RIFF box or similar equipment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ChaosMinionX:
Figures... now I gotta find someone that can do the JTAG/RIFF repair.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GiantBallSack:
I found this on GSM-Hosting, and was reported to be a Samsung driver. If the driver installs successfully, QPST will probably see the phone, but I doubt that ODIN would. I still think you are down to JTAG, but here's the driver if you want to mess around with the phone some more
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ChaosMinionX:
Thanks, I had the drivers after looking on google so now it shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM6). ODIN so far doesnt appear to be able to see the phone any longer. Will QPST be able to do anything?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GiantBallSack:
If you had a full flash file, you could flash it with QPST and unbrick it. Those files are extremely hard to come by, only the service centers seem to have them. It may be possible to backup a different S4 and flash it but you may end up with an identical copy of the other person's phone. My only experience with QPST is changing the service programming for CDMA phones. Hard-bricks I had equipment for. I have it installed, I'll see if I can pull a dump of my phone that can be flashed, but I still wonder about the EFS partitions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ChaosMinionX:
Alright thanks, yeah I can get the phone in QPST its listed in Download mode. Wonder if a dump from a working phone could fix it?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
I've done a lot of research and experimenting in this area, because I'm currently stuck in a similar situation with my phone stuck in QPST mode. If you have any knowledge about a working .hex file for this device, please let me know (PM me if needed?).

Pretty much. Unfortunately in my case, JTAG appears not even a viable option. Might be different for the OP, however. Probably has a different "style" of hard-brick.

There's a few people on the forums with JTAG boxes offering service. Perhaps the most reputable would be [MENTION=1602851]connexion2005[/MENTION] - his website is mobiletechvideos.com. Costs $60 for an S4, plus extras (rush shipping, rush processing, data recovery, etc.), last I looked.

Only problem is, if you're hard-bricked because of the MF3 update somehow, you might be SOL. Last I heard, mobiletechvideos.com sent back a phone to another XDA member, unfixed for this reason. Still waiting to hear the whole story on this, so I wouldn't discredit mobiletechvideos.com yet. They're very good at what they do, and they've repaired thousands of hard-bricks on many different models of phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GiantBallSack:
We worked on a good bit today, and QPST just wouldn't cooperate with the phone in anyway. It wouldn't write aboot.mbn like the phone needs. A full flash in .mbn format is needed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
Correct. Also need an appropriate .hex file too for certain operations in QPST.

I've tried flashing certain .mbn files that are explicitly designed to convert the entire device into a glorified 16gb, unformatted flash drive (which is repairable using very careful DD commands from a linux PC), but I can't get the device that far. Problem is, the only .hex and .mbn files out there for the MSM8960 are not signed, and the device refuses to accept them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ChaosMinionX:
I didnt have MF3 official on there, the only files from MF3 I used were the Modem, and Tasks's latest AOKP had MF3 RIL. I wonder if I am in the same boat as you?

I do however have a replacement device on its way tomorrow, I wonder if ATT has officially gone to MF3 for replacement warranty devices yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
I certainly hope they haven't. If they have, I'd rather pay the $199 deductible on a new device through insurance instead!
