[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] yutzyscott:
As the title states, I am using my unlocked Verizon galaxy S4 on T-mobile. The problem I am having is that because it is loaded with all of Verizon's software it doesn't function the same way as an S4 from T-Mobile would. I get edge, 3G and, H+ Data connectivity but, it is spotty and more edge than anything.

My question is:

Is there a way to basically transform this Verizon phone into a T-Mobile phone by flashing T-mobiles radio firmware, Kernels and, OS? I cannot find this question being asked anywhere and I have been scouring the internet for 2 days. I am rooted and running CWM recovery. I have been an avid modder since the release of the first Cyanogen mod for the T-Mobile G1. I guess what I'm saying is, I don't care how technically complicated it is. If it is AT ALL POSSIBLE,,, I just want to do it.

I am not trying to be mean in saying what I am about to say next so please, no one take this the wrong way.

If you do not know the answer to this question please do not post one. Do not post a response of NO just because that's what you've heard or assume is correct. I am posing this question to experienced developers NOT modders like myself who simply use others work for our devices. I did find in a Google search where someone posted a tutorial on how to do this but, for reasons that I am not aware, the thread was discontinued.

Thank you for any help. I refuse to give up on this. I've made it my mission and I will not quit until the phone explodes.

Now on topic, you can only flash an m919 ROM on any other s4, besides the i9500. Not sure about radios, but DO NOT flash an m919 Kernel* on your Verizon s4. Only do it if you want a fancy paperweight.

I have been on here for years. there have been many times over the years that I have helped others do something that some said to be impossible and there are time when people have helped me do things that were said to be impossible. that paragraph was not aimed at you so do not take it personal. I've just been on here long enough not to be irritated by trollers but, rather by people who do not have any clue what they are talking about answering questions they do not know the answers to simply so they can attempt to look smarter than they are. if this does not apply to you then ignore that paragraph but, you cannot say that it wasn't necessary. You say, "we are providing our knowledge" this is a broad statement that you cannot make because you can only speak for yourself and those that you know personally. unfortunately there are many more than you and your friends on the internet. So if you understand that that wasn't directed at those that are helpful, there there is no need for debate

Thank you for the info though.

Verizon is CDMA, T-Mobile is GSM. Different radio hardware required.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] yutzyscott:
There are both GSM and CDMA radios in the galaxy s4. That is how I'm using it on t mobile now. This has been a topic of discussion since the phone was released and responses have been back and forth as to whether it was possible to use it on a GSM network at all. then it was discovered that it is in fact a world phone.it is simply carrier locked which under normal circumstances would make you right however, mine is unlocked and able to utilize both. Thank you for your response.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shur'tugal:
Hi everyone, today i would like to ask for your help with a pretty big problem i have with my Kindle fire HD, you see, i was updating from my current rom 7.4.4 to CM 10.2. to achieve thi i followed this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2271909 , everything was going fine until i installed 2nd-Bootloader and TWRP recovery. The problem came up here, when i realized that i forgot to move the rom and the files for google play into the SD card, now whenever i try to do this i can't seem to get my PC to recognize the Kindle with TWRP (i can browse my files and such with TWRP directly through the kindle itself) i tried to move the required file with adb and fastboot but i can't get it to work.

The kindle is rooted and running version 7.4.6 from amazon.

i have a backup for the rom and the files but i can't use fastboot.

i have a backup for each of the following files: boot0block, stock-boot, stock-recovery, stock-system

all the adb drivers and sdk are functioning perfectly.

When i connect it to my PC with windows 7 i can see the kindle recognized by the device manager but it has yellow triangle next to the icon.

i also tried using an otg cable but the kindke did not recognize it.

any and all help is appreciated, i don't want my tablet to die Dx
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ph0enix_216:
I've never had to do this, but in TWRP, if you go to "Advanced," there's a button labeled "ADB Sideload." Then you should be able to use ADB to sideload files onto your Kindle using the "adb sideload" command.

Example:

adb sideload name of.zip

Hope this helped:)

Hi and thanks for your help now i try send the next command adb push file.zip /sdcard

I put a rom in C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130729\sdk\platform-tools in the same folder that adb.exe

and the name of the rom file is : file
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Ok if u want to simply type file.zip u need to be CD's into the directory of where u put the ROM, but as it seems u have the SDK in your paths simply putting the ROM in c:\users\cristian should suffice. Try moving the ROM there and running the command again.

One step further

My apologies for hijacking this thread. I had made the same error as the OP. however, instead of searching here for solution, I panicked and wiped the cache and user data using the SR tool and wiped everything. Now unfortunately my kfhd tells me it can't boot, which my incompetent mind tells me is likely because I have no rom?

I've tried to use first aide to do a system recovery but I get told the files are too large and it can't do anything.... Any suggestions or thoughts from people? Appreciate any help I can get. Been up late the last 3 days trying to sort this out, while I thought I was going to provide m wife with a slick android device!!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
That's odd, I wouldn't think wipe your data partition and cache would cause that to happen, then again there are some files stored under data the system uses out side of apk's so I guess that could be why. Did you get your kindle into fastboot? If you did I would suggest trying to use kfhd system restore tool if kffa didn't work.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeman77:
Yes, can fast boot. Shows up when I plug in the factory cable. When I use the system restore tool, and try and do a basic recovery, it can't copy the images over as it says the files are too big.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
All the files, or just the system.img?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeman77:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeman77:

I did. Not sure i do now post trying to do a wipe. Don't see any blue when I start up, just the original kindle letter coloring, after which I get a message saying it can't boot
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeman77:
any suggestions anyone or is my kfhd pretty much killed? there's got to be a way to load some rom on to it!!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
You should be able to load the original images over fastboot, something just isn't working right. I would say its far from hard bricked, it should still be fixable, its just a matter of troubleshooting it. If you have the kindle fire system image I would try manually flashing it but you need to know what you are doing. If you CD into the SRT folder where im assuming the IMG files are in the same folder as fastboot, try running "fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img" think I got the syntax right, haven't had to ever use fastboot myself, anyways if you run that what does it report back? Hopefully not the same error, or it might be something messed up with the image.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeman77:
thanks for the advice. ended up re downloading the images again and this time it worked. go figure.

back to starting again to get my custom rom on.

once i have a custom rom, guessing there are no amazon bits left in there that would cause any updates to come through right?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Thank god there isn't, I would scream if there was, just make sure to wipe system, cache, dalvik cache and do a factory reset when coming from amazon to cm based ROMs.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galearned:
Good afternoon: I bricked a nice 8.9 tablet several weeks ago using ADB sideload...

I used ADB Sideload to install Gapps since I was already in TWRP and was too lazy to reboot and transfer the gapps.zip file to my tablet.

The sideload installed the gapps.zip as I expected it to and I was brought back to the main TWRP screen.

When I clicked on reboot/reboot system, the tablet started flashing the three partitions (boot, recovery and system) as I was watching. TWRP then left me at the booting screen doing nothing. I did not know why the tablet decided to flash the three main partitions but, I opted to push the power button and that was the last time I saw my tablet.....

Apparently ADB sideload is only for ROM's? I had only used it to flash ROMs prior but, I thought ADB Sideload should be able to install any properly zipped file designed to flash with TWRP?

Regards
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
It should be able to I thought, it basically just sends the file over and tells it to flash for you. Does it get stuck on the bootloader now or what?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solson1231:
Hi, Ive been kinda having the same problems. Just bits and pieces of what im seeing here. You seem pretty smart so im going to ask you. Earlier i went through all the proper instructions to turn my kindle into an android system. Seemed as if i did everything right :/ Then it all went down hill after the last reboot. I wont explain everything but im wondering is there a way that i can recover my file that i had backed up before i did all that through the fastboot? Like a certain command or something? I suck at this stuff. Last place i had the kindle it was stuck booting with the screen flashing TEAMWIN. Cant get it anywhere else. Ive been reading for hours and cant seem to find something that explains how to do all this stuff for dummies.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

Thats what ive been trying to deal with. I have downloaded everything. Ive even downloaded the TWRP recovery file and it keeps telling me to burn disc. I cant connect the kindle to the computer so i cant even find that backup file. Can you help me?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] onyxwavex:
Good day everyone:

I've just purchased this great device, at least spec wise, LG Optimus G (E970 for AT&T) and now I'm just waiting for it to arrive in the mail. For the record, I got a great deal on it from Walmart Wireless online for the upgrade price of $9.99 with 2-year contract and paying no taxes on the original retail price. That's the best deal ANYWHERE as far as I was able to find over the past month or so.

Anyway, on to the purpose of this thread. I've been looking t get the largest capacity and fastest speed microSD card that this smartphone would be compatible with right out of the box. To my surprise, other than basic general verbiage like "support for up

to 64 GB of expandable memory", I couldn't quickly find any detailed specs on what types of microSD cards and in what file format would work with this phone. Well, after much searching and compiling info from different sources, thought 'd share my findings with the rest of the members here so that they would have a definite answer in one spot. :)

I started with researching on the official site for the LG Optimus G E970 and grabbed the technical specifications PDF which states:

www DOT lg DOT com/us/support/products/documents/especsheet_lg_optimus_g_final DOT pdf - Link to LG Optimus G E970 technical specifications PDF

So, now knowing the maximum size in space that the phone will support (64GB), I looked up the best rated 64GB microSD card. This of course is debatable, yet I concluded that SanDisk made the best microSD cards in this size.

kb DOT sandisk DOT com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2520 - SD/SDHC/SDXC Specifications and Compatibility

Thus with this info, I settled on the SanDisk Ultra® microSDXC™ UHS-I class 10 64GB card within included Android app for file management (Product Number #SDSDQUA-064G-A11A). This is the product number I'd verify when purchasing this item from an American retailer.

**NOTE** there are slightly different product numbers for the same exact item when being sold in different continental areas

Now, the last thing I had to verify was if the LG Optimus G E970 was designed to have Android support the exFAT file system that is the default for this microSD card. I found that LG Electronics through a partnership has the Tuxera exFAT file system integrated into LGE Mobile flagship products starting with the LG Optimus G smartphone in November 2012. www DOT tuxera DOT com/news/lg-optimus-g-smartphone-line-ships-with-tuxera-exfat/ - You can check out the article here. This was the last piece of confirmation that I needed to be satisfied that SanDisk's 64GB mircoSD card products would work in this phone and all future LGE mobile smartphone devices. Happy happy, joy joy!

So, to make this long post short, yes, based on what I've researched, the LG Optimus G E970 will natively be compatible with the 64GB sized line of mircoSD cards. In fact, according to the last link I posted, the phone will even except microSD cards much larger than 64GB once they are more commonly found consumer retail locations. Of course, only time will tell if this is true.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] pivotraze:
I purchased that exact MicroSD and it works unless you flash a non-stock ROM. After that, you have to format it to something else (I think mine is formatted as EXT4)

[AT&T LG Optimus G] onyxwavex:
Great to Know exFAT is Still Usable in Non-Stock ROMs

I noticed this thread as well during the research I've been doing here is deciding on purchasing this phone. I'm completely new to rooting and and flashing ROMs so until I do more studying on this I'll have to stick with the stock setup. My ultimate goal though it to at least root it so that I can use wifi tethering function without getting the stupid additional monthly charge from AT&T. I was able to do this on my current Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket without rooting thanks to FoxFi, but I've been reading that FoxFi doesn't work on Android OSs after ICS. If I do decide to flash another non-stock ROM then I'll mos def be looking more in depth at your thread link. Thanks!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
As the author of that thread let me tell you that information is obsolete. All 4.3 roms I've tried read and write and mtp to my exfat cards just fine, right out of the box.

Samsung 64gb uhs1 hovering around $60 on Amazon. I've tried SanDisk too but had nasty failure rate. Had good luck with the Samsung that I bought a second one. They write 15-20 Mbps and read up to 70 Mbps in a USB 3 card reader, about half that in the phone. It's faster than the phone's built in storage.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sawdey21:
There's plenty of people that would help you unlock and put on a custom rom on the lgog granted you did a little research yourself first. It's always a pain babying someone through it, but as long as you have an idea what you're doing before you start, there's plenty of us that can help. It's very hard to fully brick the lgog just so you know. If you ever want faster answers our IRC channel is probably the best way.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] [r.]GimP:
Yes, and they are on sale at best buy now for $65, and they are the minimum 20mb/s write variety. Buy it in store or online with "i'll pick up in store" and if you have any of the failure rate issues you can just replace it on the spot. Just my two pennies. It's $5 more than amazon but you get the faster rated speed one (lot of prior gen were class 6/uhs I) and the convenience of instant return/swaps.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] [r.]GimP:
Benchmark from SDTools of the SanDisk I picked up at best buy yesterday, 20MB sustained in the phone is pretty good for write speed.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] onyxwavex:
$65 is way more than I want to spend. lol, I'm looking to get 2 of them for under $50 each, thus I'll probably end up getting them off eBay some time within the next week or two.

That's good to know. I get my two new LG phones (Optimus G E970 & Optimus G Pro) in the mail tomorrow, and then I'll be picking up new 64GB microSD cards for both of them within a couple weeks, so I report back on how the cards are working for me then.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] onyxwavex:
It'll probably be at least another month or two of studying the threads before I decide to jump into unlocking and flashing a custom ROM on my 2 new LG phones. Right, now my main focus will be to root them both so that I can get the most usage out of both the Root Explorer and SQLite Editor apps.

lol, and don't worry, I'm one that likes to try and research the hell out of something first, and then find at around 5 other people who've said that they have successfully done something a certain way before I attempt it. And what ever I learn, I'll mos def post it here in the forums (at least if it isn't posted already) if I think it can help others out. :)

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Neroga:
It'll work just fine. Same with 64gb cards. EXFat might not work on all ROMs, though.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Exfat works with the zip on every aosp rom I've tried recently and most of the recent 4.3 roms support exfat out of the box now that CM added it in, so anybody that clones a cm 10.2 repo will get native exfat support without a flashable zip.

Motochopper didn't work on my VM Optimus F3 so I used saferoot instead. Beware, if you downloaded the latest firmware update, you need to flash to stock ROM. I used LGflash for that.

The app seemed to force close amd it returned me to my home screen... any suggestions? Its a VM device btw
[Android General] mandroidv2.0:
Try using the phones web browser to download and install stump root. Stump roots gui should say press grind to continue followed by a popup window that says your device is not natively supported. Click force root. After its done running download supersu by chainsfire from the app store and press normal when it asks to be updated. You should then be rooted.
