Understood!

Here is the requested information

PHONE INFORMATION

Baseband Version: L720VPUAMF9

Android Version: 4.2.2

Build Date: June 25th, 2013

Now, I've already used ODIN to root the phone – are you describing something different that I may need to use it for? I've flashed the TWRP recovery following the link in the first post of this thread.

Thanks for your help, by the way. I truly appreciate it

The Kernel can affect wifi connectivity and how the phone runs.

This has good info.

What is PacMan on is it 4.4.2 or is 4.2.2? If 4.4.2 you will need to update to NAE 4.4.2.

You can buy the Triangle Away from Play Store.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] churchey360:
Has anyone took the update from NAE to NG2 yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] churchey360:
I took the update and my build number updated, but my modem and software still say NAE (Happened to me late time too) so hopefully the .tar file gets released soon or a way to redownload the update file and place it on my external sd card and reflash it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] 2WhiteWolves:
Did you unroot first before update? Is your bootloader NAE or MF9? How is your phone running?

Flashed SuperS4 with TWRP. NOTHING is working

I recently flashed my Samsung Galaxy S4 to BeanStalk rom using TWRP. Everything was great. Decided to try our SuperS4. Now it gets stuck at the blinking android screen right after the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen. Tried going into recovery mode. Gets stuck at the TWRP logo screen. Anyone know what I should do lol.

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

No matter what I do I am still getting stuck at the boot screen for SuperS4.

Are you on Sprint L720 or L720t? If you are on AT&T that will happen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] EliteN00b:
Im on Sprint. Got the TWRP working. Still doesnt get past the android screen after the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] 2WhiteWolves:

i have the L720T

Sorry, I have an emergency. Hope someone will help you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] 2WhiteWolves:
I seen that you are on TWRP, get the KT TWRP from the SuperS4 OP page where you got the ROM from. And don't forget to boot into recovery after flashing/ installing recovery, then flash SuperS4 ROM. Just follow instructions. Hopefully that will work. I used KT TWRP for SuperS4 and everything went well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] EliteN00b:
How are you liking SuperS4? What's the biggest perks you've found so far. I'm using Beanstalk 4.4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] 2WhiteWolves:
I'm on L720, I really like it, on Odexed v.1.5, runs really smooth. I use stock kernel, I'm really not knowledgeable on KT KERNEL (I think that's what it called) so that's why I flashed stock. KT kernel is good (if you know what you are doing) but people have reported on how to set things up on it.

But I'm kinda confused about the spark, some say you will lose it, but on the thread for L720t says it isn't gone.? Do you know? Did you lose spark on Beanstalk 4.4? I haven't read through the whole thread yet, so I still have some reading to do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] EliteN00b:
Honestly in not sure about spark... Not that knowledgeable about Roms and kernels and whatnot lol. How would I check for spark?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] 2WhiteWolves:
The only way I know how to check it is to download something. There is some kind of app to get the speed of how fast it downloads and uploads. I think it is suppose to be around 50mbps. But it all depends where you live or where you are at. It could be as low as 30mbps, but if you were only 12 to 17mbps, 30mbps that would probably be spark. I think the app is called OOKLA SPEEDTEST, or just type in speed test in play store.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] EliteN00b:
I'm only at 4G LTE right now. Have to be in the right spot for spark before flashing anyways.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] EliteN00b:
I'm getting 12Mbps download speed.

Install philz recovery with Odin. Then boot into recovery and go to advance options and click "re root". Then install supersu from playstore. Then download Cyanogenmod (or any other aosp ROM) and Gapps. Then boot into recovery do a factory reset and then flash ROM then Gapps and reboot and enjoy :)

NOOB Custom Rom Question

Hello Everyone,

First and foremost. I would like to say thank you to even that has helped make this community a great place. While I just registered my account today I have been on her for the better part of last 6 Months. After not having a cell phone for 6 yearish job finally required I get one so I chose Sprint and the S4. Have been flashing roms for the better part of these last 6 months. I have tested almost every rom I can find here and there in trying to find one that suits my needs and likes. There are things about TW I like and things about ASOP I like as well.

I found an I9505 Rom that I REALLY like and blends the TW / ASOP in a way that I like. The only fault that I found. Is that SMS / MMS fails. Mostly with error code 1. Negalites Rom had/has and issue with the current version that I am unable to see the digits dialed on the dialer. Im not a fan of white dialer at all.

With that being said. This rom appears to be workable with the base band and PDA L720VPUFNAE. I noticed with in the settings PRL is 0. Which I suspect is the root of my problem.

Below is what I have tried to date on this I9505 Rom. Everything works Wifi 4G 3G just not SMS / MMS

Grabbed the APN from Stock Rom and put them in place with 0644 Permissions

Tried ##Data# to get to Hidden Settings Menu (No Go Appears the APK is missing here)

Used KToonsez kernel which seem to have the most promising effects

Also tried the suggestions on this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1794956.

Excluding the use of all other SMS Programs as I have found that I liked TW because it combines LONG sms messages. Have yet to find one that will do the same thing.

I've tried flashing and I9505 Modem which probably wasn't the smartest of things (It failed)

Really after a long winded story. Am I fighting a battle that can even be won? Or is there physical limitation that prevent the I9505 Rom from working on the Sprint S4 SPH-L720 phone? Is there any possible suggestions any one has that might lead me in the right direction.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] churchey360:

Yesterday, I flashed SlimKat build 7 onto my phone. Everything seemed to work fine, except that I was stuck in digital roaming mode when connected to 4g LTE. This seemed to only be the case when it was connected to 4g LTE. When connected to 3g, it showed to be on Sprint's network. I also flashed SlimKat build 6 to see if was a problem isolated to build 7, and I had the same problem.

I flashed back to CM 11 that I was running, and everything is working fine. Anyone have any suggestions?

If you haven't made any modifications to the device, I really can't think of a solution. I went onto Zoomtel's website, and I read this

I'm pretty sure you have that model (since you've used your Evo with it), but that might be a possible issue.

An alternate solution would be to look at [MENTION=673989]crawrj[/MENTION] 's Native Hotspot Mod

I've never used Zoomtel, so I can't exactly say for sure what the issue is :confused:

hi,

Is anybody able to view iphone emoji via sms? All i get are 2 black diamonds with questions inside it. Even when I send myself an emoji, i can see it on my side but when I receive it, it shows two black diamonds.

I am able to VIEW emoji on twitter / facebook / instagram .. yada yada just fine but cannot seem them inside a SMS using both the stock SMS app AND with Handcent + Emoji app.

Just wondering if anybody else has this problem or is it just me. If so, I am going to reformat.

(rooted stock 4.2.2)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nu2tilt:
I appreciate the reply. I've checked with Zoomtel as well and it appears they haven't tested the unit with Android 4.2. When I connect the router to my GS4 the router can't seem to find the source. It looks like something with the usb connection. Unlike with the Evo; when you connect a usb device you get an option window (USB Storage, Disk Drive, PC mode or charge). When you connect the GS4 you don't get these options. The all the lights on the Zoom are active, except the usb light. I'll take a look at the native Hotspot option.

Thanks again

Remote Backup

Hey everybody, before I created a thread, would anybody mind pointing me to the correct thread regarding a problem I have?

I recently broke my stock rooted S4. The digitizer cracked but the screen survived without a scratch. Before I file an insurance claim, I want to back up the entire ROM including app data from my computer. My goal is primarily to back up my text messages along with specific app data, let's say like the level I'm on in Candy Crush Saga for example.

My experience with phones involves just rooting various Galaxy phones primarily using Odin. I have played around with various ADB tools and some things to do with SQLite in the past and forgot most of it, but with a well provided instructional, I'm sure I can figure it out if needed.

Thanks in advance to anyone that's able to help me. I'll do my best to respond as soon as possible if you need any more information.

Stock rooted Sprint Galaxy S4

I believe using CWM

Edit*

I believe USB debugging should hopefully be enabled if it helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Salil999:
Go into cwm and make a backup. This will do a full nandroid backup of the phone, preserving text messages and app data (like your candy crush saga)

It basically saves the state of the phone at the point to when you back it up. It's very useful in my opinion, and it has never failed me. I'm not too sure if the backup will work on a different phone, but I AM pretty sure that you can retrieve your app data.

An alternative would be titanium backup:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup

I personally have never used titanium but all I've heard is positive feedback.

However, if you're going to replace your phone, I would suggest saving your backup to an external sd card and holding on to that sd card!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] TeckEe:
I appreciate the help, but unfortunately as I said earlier, my digitizer is cracked rendering the screen useless. I'm trying to make a backup blindly, but it's not working too well at the moment. I'm looking for a fail-safe way of doing this possibly through download mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Salil999:
You don't need to use the touch screen for cwm.

Unless you mean your screen won't display anything at all. If that's the case, then I think it's back to square one :/

I think there are several android tools for Windows that can do backups. If your phone can turn on, then it can work.

Now we're talkin. Thanks a lot, this seems very promising. I'll look into it tomorrow when I have more free time but I think this may do the trick if it doesn't require the screen and can backup app data as well. Sorry if I was unclear about the screen not displaying anything at all, but yea, that's pretty much it.

Thanks again.

Plug in a MHL cable to a monitor so you can see your phones display and just use this app to backup https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup.license
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] TeckEe:
Ok, I tried the 1st method with no success. Not only did I fail to get the program running, I realized eventually that I would have to select an option from my phone which is currently impossible. So thanks anyway for the suggestion Salil.

As for your suggestion of using the MHL cable, that sounds like an awesome idea. I looked into buying the Samsung Dock but didn't have the funds just yet. Looking into just the cord and an adapter though seems like it'll just have to do for now. Do you know if the phone will be able to boot into CWM through the adapter before I go through with my purchase?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Salil999:
As long as your hardware buttons work (by that I mean the volume buttons and the home button), you should be good. You don't need to do anything with the touch screen, but it must be able to display at lest something.

And yeah, sorry if my suggestion didn't work :(

GiantJay's idea might work!

Yea, I couldn't get it to make a connection at all and there's no clear "how to" videos on YouTube or even any helpful relevant posts in the thread for step by step instructions.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] TeckEe:
I tried using that exact same video several times for reference. After leaving it for about 10mins to "backup" and being able to successfully reboot it, I never seen any new files made to the sd card. I also didn't take note of how much space was on the internal storage before and after to see if an internal backup would work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Salil999:
Did you make sure to backup to the external SD card and not the phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Jimlarck:
Your best bet is talking with your carrier provider, and if you're using WiFi and experiencing the same problem, try another one, if it still doesn't work, call the place where they sold you your device and ask them to fix it or send you a replacement.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] TeckEe:
Yes, I tried both. just mentioned the internal storage part for reference of whether anything was backing up at all. Making it back up to the sd card makes it that much more difficult though since you have to press more buttons to get to it.

2 other things I should mention about it is I made sure to install CWM through Odin and 2nd, I used a 64gb memory stick that has enough space on it for a back up and was used as the primary memory stick for my S4, so I know it's compatible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Salil999:
I've heard of some issues with 64 GB cards. Make sure it is formatted to exFat file system (you can do that through a computer) The installation method isn't that important, as long as it works.

And you don't see any files at all when you back it up to the external SD card? The only other thing I could think of is that maybe your external SD card isn't mounting properly due to some physical damage to the device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] rsngfrce:
First of all, I'd recommend asking this in the Spring forum rather than the Sprint forum... ;)

Second, try using a different USB cable and/or USB port on your computer. That is known to be a possible cause of this failure.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
Looks like you are trying to install an older tar file, or since you said you just bought your phone the wrong firmware. If you truly have the L720, then you should be loading NAE. However, looks like from where the failure is occurring, you actually have the newer L720T which means you need to install NC6 I believe. Make sure you know what phone you have before you make it a paperweight.

Hi guys

pleeeese I want UNLOCK MY SAMSUNG S4 sph-L720
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] rsngfrce:
That is a GOOD point! TheCodexNecro, you should go into System Settings on your phone, then the More tab at the top, then scroll down to the bottom and click About Device. The first thing listed should be Software Version. The last three digits of this show what version you are on and you wouldn't (generally) want to be going backwards from this (and if you have a newer phone with the Knox bootloader, you can't). They always advance in alphabetical order, so NC6 is newer than NAE is newer than MK2. It is VERY unlikely you would have purchased a new Sprint G4 with MK2 software I think.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
That was my exact point. My caution to him is that if he just bought the phone it is probably a 720T, which means the only software he can install is NC6. NAE & MK2 for that matter are for the 720, not the T version. So while he is in the about phone, or better, remove his battery and see what the model number sticker says.
