Then you've got some issues. Stuff I can't even begin to help with.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] MJHawaii:
I am not sure why your modem is not changing did you do anything different the what the instructions are in the OP?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] irishrally:
I flashed just like the OP. I ended up flashing your 4.2.2 MFD restore, fully unrooting, locking bootloader, and then just taking the 4.3 update straight from Google over the air, settings/about/system updates. Now I have the MHL radio.

I'm not sure why my phone wouldn't take the modem but your 4.2.2 restore worked nicely. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] MJHawaii:
Yeah I am not sure why you had that issue I reflashed MH1 many times with no trouble making MH1 modem stick if I was on MFD.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] CommanderROR:
Hi there,

Can someone explain to me why this can't be used to convert a standard i9505 into a i9505G?

I'm currently running a GE ROM on my i9505 and the phone is, for all intents and purposes now a Google Edition phone, it jas the same HW and can run the same software, so where are the limitations that stop us from flashing a package like this in Odin and getting an official i9502G with OTA support and all?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] tublah:
The partition layout is extremely different between the I9505/USA Variants and the I9505G, this prevents y'all using ODIN as it looks for a I9505G pit file, doesn't find one that matches, so it stops.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] CommanderROR:
Hmmm...could we use a correct. pit file then?

Flash with repartition enabled? I guess we need proper GE factory restore images from Samsung, right?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] tublah:
It's been explored extensively already. PIT files are signed by Samsung for particular devices only.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] Cal3b:
I just flashed this successfully in Linux using Heimdall

If you want to flash this using Heimdall instead of Odin:

- Download the I9505GUEUBMH1_FULL_ROOTED.tar from the first post.

- Extract the .tar

- In your terminal navigate to the I9505GUEUBMH1_FULL_ROOTED folder, for me that looked like this "cd ~/Downloads/I9505GUEUBMH1_FULL_ROOTED"

- In your terminal type "sudo heimdall flash --APNHLOS NON-HLOS.bin --MDM modem.bin --BOOT boot.img --SYSTEM system.img.ext4"

- Give it a couple minutes, it will flash each part of the update and reboot. You are now on 4.3!

It worked perfectly for me, if you have any issues make sure you are on the latest version of Heimdall.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] MJHawaii:
I made these so you do not have to use Heimdall :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
I don't believe Linux has ODIN does it? But it does have Heimdall.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] MJHawaii:
Yes if your using Linux only and you don't have windows Heimdall is your only option

He can always create a separate thread how to for anyone wanting the heimdall option it may be helpful.;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
Hence it's good info to have in the thread. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] Cal3b:
I don't have a windows computer. So I have to use Heimdall. I wanted to make it easier on anyone else who is in the same boat.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] MJHawaii:
I understand but instead of hijacking this thread you should post a new Thread here in Android development. That has a clear title, instructions, benefits ( I.E. non windows users, links, credit for using files :eek: and so on.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] Cal3b:
I wasn't trying to hijack, I just didn't think it needed its own thread.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] MJHawaii:
It needs its own thread. I'm not trying to be rude but maybe you should review the forum rules and XDA posting about Off Topic ect..that's how we keep things organized so we can search and find info for relevant topics. Your Heimdall posting may help someone else so create a thread.

MJ, I've got MH5 installed and am going to pull the images a bit later today. I'll create signed recovery and modem images, as well. Can I ask a favor? I know how to pull all the partition images. What I don't know is the right order to add them to the tar file to make an ODIN flashable tar. Can you point me in the right direction on that so that I can try my hand at making a full ODIN restore for MH5?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] MJHawaii:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] ivanoterra:
Hi

Im having a problem with the modem (well, maybe only the wifi part. Im not sure if 3g is getting messed up too, because 3g here in brazil sucks so much, that it makes hard to know if there is something wrong with it..)

And i know that isnt something direct into your 4.3 file even thou i used it to go 4.2.2 to 4.3 rooted.

The wifi works, but when i do a speedtest for example. It gets 1mb or 2mb. But my internet is a 35mb connection.

I know i wont be able to get 35mb from the wifi because there is some limit that i really dont care (20mb is the limit, and its enough).

And looks like its getting the upload right. I usually get 2-3mb upload (and thats more or less what ive got, so its "normal").

Only the download is getting strange and doing 1mb, sometimes not even that...

Anyone having the same issue ? And have any fix for that ?

-------------------------------------------------- EDIT -----------------------------------------------------------------

I reinstalled the 4.3, installed SamuriHL MH5 modem, did the OTA minor update.

Im on MH5 with OTA minor update and still.. getting 1-2mb when testing download. Upload go to 5 peek and then go to the "ok" (the normal would be 3-3.5mb, but it goes to 2 more or less).

Thats annoying because of streaming content like Youtube and Netflix. I cant watch a video without getting interruptions...

=/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
Nope. Not something that's caused by the mh5 modem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] MJHawaii:
Nobody has reported anything like your problem. Unfortunately firmware packages, updates, and even updated modems cannot increase your network speed (less network drops..Yes). That depends on a variety of factors outside your control. The WiFi issue really depends on your WiFi connection and speed from the source. In order to get an accurate speed tests I would suggest connecting to network outside your normal area and different WiFi or hotspots.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] ivanoterra:
Oh well...

Yeah, i thought that... But on my tablet (Toshiba Excite Write) it gets 12mb when i test using the speedtest app for android (the same i use on the i9505g)... Its strange =/
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] robstunner:
Sorry for the newb question, but I just got a i9505G with this odin flashed i believe. will this get all update like stock? I just wanted stock S4GPE
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
This *IS* stock. It's NOT a rom. People seem to be extremely confused on this point. It will definitely be able to get all future OTA's. That's the point of this....to get people who need it back on a stock OTA update.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] robstunner:
Cool, so theres absolutely no point in me trying to figure out how the heck heimdall works lol. (been messing with it for about 2 hours now)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
Heimdall is an alternative way to flash things. It works similar to how fastboot works on Moto and Nexus devices in that you can specify which partitions you want to flash. This TAR package is a bunch of stock partitions that will be flashed using the ODIN utility. Neither approach is wrong...it's just a matter of what you're comfortable with. ODIN makes it pretty simple.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] KrossX:
Noob question(s) in regards to this:

What is the baseband supposed to be with this Rooted Restore? MH5?

Maybe I just don't understand this baseband business to begin with. I currently have -MH5 baseband and a plethora of problems (unrelated to the MH5 bb version).

I am about to install this to go back to stock with root, but I'm a bit apprehensive about all this baseband business; don't want to end up in a deeper hole.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
The baseband with this version is mh1. If you flash this that's what you should end up with.

Carved in blood by a wakizashi...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] KrossX:
Aaaand there in lies the rub. I suppose there's no way for me to know what my baseband was before I rooted my phone to it's current non-BT/non-USB state? Is it possible that I got the MH5 from the rooting process and that, in actuality, had a different baseband?

I looked up basebands on the forums and found this thread. But I have no idea what baseband I should have had on my phone, when it had come from factory.

Gosh, this stuff is complex! I'll take this to the Q&A thread now... sorry for hijacking!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] MJHawaii:


Rooting would not change your baseband so if it says MH5 that is what your stock baseband is.

MH5 was the last official OTA so your stock firmware is that.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] KrossX:
Ah okay. Well... I now have MH1 anyway.

I did this restore. My Baseband, Kernel, and Build versions all changed... but... my goshdarn issues with BT and USB-Connectivity remain! This is so frustrating.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
Have you tried a factory data reset? I would recommend it.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] occupational_hazard:
When in doubt, do what samurai says, you will be amazed what a reset and/or wipe will do for some of the issues. But then again it could be a faulty handset.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
Definitely possible, but, I'd do an FDR first and see what happens with that. Then if it still has the same problem, um, well I don't know how the warranty works on our phones. Might be a call to google I guess.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] occupational_hazard:

[MENTION=4214610]MJHawaii[/MENTION] - Thanks very much for this. These packages are incredibly useful for people who want to tinker with their phones. Thanks for providing this so we can restore back if necessary.

As you may or may not know, I'm something of a "custodian of records" for Nexus and other Google-experience device OTA updates between various threads here on XDA and my website (randomphantasmagoria.com). From that perspective, I have a quick question about these packages...are these simply rooted without any other modifications? No busybox or anything like that? Also, do these include stock recovery, radio and bootloader images as well? I guess what I'm getting at is, if someone were to flash these, would they still be able to take an official OTA update and have it flash successfully?

Thanks in advance and great work!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
As I've sort of unofficially taken over for posting these things I'll answer this. They have to be rooted in order to run the dd command to extract the system img. But that's the only change made from stock. Most of us use the supersu zip and install it in custom recovery. Someone came up with a process for installing root by booting custom recovery in memory and sideloading the supersu zip. I automated it with a script to make it a little easier. I then wrote automation that creates these ODIN flashable packages. Everything except the system img is not just stock, but, also signed. Modems, recovery, boot img, etc...My script either pulls those from the OTA update or creates the signed files from the OTA and then builds the ODIN image for it. To directly answer your question, yes, you can take an OTA after using this. I've done so without issue. Once 4.3.1 is released I plan on doing my process again. You'll see I have MH5 posted already, as well, plus separate modem and recovery threads for all the different versions of each. I hope this helps.

You should use cygwin and run these commands from a cygwin cmd pompt.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] MJHawaii:
Do you know the difference between a ported ROM and one flashed via Odin? There's no difference your going to get the same thing whether you push it via custom recovery or through a tool. I don't have time to do any work for the M919 right now but I can assure you everything you need to get Google Edition 4.3 running on your phone is over on your phones thread. Good luck.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] aniel300:
I dont know exactly tge differences and at the same time i dont have to much knowledge but what i just did it flash a leaked firwerre inside of the rar were few file i tried all them including bootloader, phone etc and it didn't flash then a read it is brcause the m919 bootloader wont let u but then i tried only the file that say platform which means the system and it pass so bow i think i m running pure android but i thnk it won recive ota so that is why i reallly need u help ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
Woa Woa. I didn't see the non gpe phone comment before. Flashing files not made for your phone can be a dangerous thing. The partitions on the gpe are different than other s4 variants. If you flash the wrong thing you can cause permanent damage. I'd highly recommend following mj's advice and checking out the thread he linked to.

---------- Post added at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 AM ----------

P. S. You will not receive ota. And that's probably a good thing given the bootloader differences.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
Well, I showed you how to make one. You have to extract the files from the MH1 tar md5 file posted in the OP, and then use the 4 commands I posted a few posts back in a cygwin command prompt to create a new odin tar md5 that you can then flash. You will not be able to take any OTAs because they will attempt to update aboot and the modems and probably brick if they flash at all (I'm guessing the ota would fail assertion but who knows). What you want to do is non-standard so I suggest learning how to do it rather than simply asking for it to be done for you. It's a LOT of work to go through (not to mention bandwidth to host it) just to remove the modems for someone.
