[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ingenium13:
UPDATE: It appears that Sprint has fixed this issue with the MJA update (Android 4.3). When you insert a non-Sprint SIM, the APN settings become editable.

Sprint has for some reason disabled the ability to add or edit the APN settings on the GS4. To get data with a non-US SIM, you need to put in that carrier's APN. On the Sprint GS4 these settings are greyed out (as of MD9 at least)

Before going any further, YOU MUST BE ROOTED. You need to edit system files to make this work, and for that you need root. You will also want to have the SIM card for that carrier in the phone, since when you add an APN it links it to that carrier's network. In other words, if you do this with the Sprint SIM, the APN you added won't show up when you put in the other carrier's SIM.

Open the file /system/build.prop in a file browser, such as ES File Explorer. This post has a more detailed explanation of opening the build.prop file http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1948558

Add the following lines, then save, close, and reboot:

ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL

You can also likely use one of the many build.prop editors in the Play Store.

Now you need to add the APN settings. This menu is hidden on the stock ROM, so we need to get into it a different way. If you're using Nova Launcher, you can add a shortcut to your homescreen for APN settings. The other method is a dialer code:

Open the dialer and press ##DATA# (or ##3282#)

Go to Edit, and put in your MSL (Instructions to get your MSL: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2271618)

Scroll down and select Others, then LTE APN Settings

You're now at a list of all your APNs. Press the menu button, then New APN, and put in the information for your carrier. You should now have data!

Sometimes, however, the phone will only use GSM/EDGE (2G) even when a WCDMA/HSPA (3G) signal is available. The trick is to force it to use WCDMA only. I had to do this on my phone, but others didn't have to, so I think it's carrier dependent. If it shows E next to the signal meter, then it's on EDGE and restricted to dialup speeds. If it shows H, H+, or 3G, then it's using WCDMA (see above screenshot).

To do this, you need access to the Testing menu. Normally you use the dialer code *#*#4636#*#* but this is disabled on the Sprint S4. If you're using Nova Launcher, add a shortcut to the Testing menu. Otherwise, use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aebeinroth.telinfo

Then go to Device information, scroll down, and change LTE/CDMA auto (PRL) to WCDMA only.

In my experience, WCDMA preferred is not enough, it will still for some reason prefer GSM/EDGE. You will need to have already put the phone in GSM/UMTS network mode first or this won't work (Settings, Connections, More networks, Mobile networks, Network mode).

When you want to go back on Sprint just change this back to LTE/CDMA auto (PRL) then change the network mode from GSM/UMTS back to LTE/CDMA.

Nice guide. Only suggestion I have is to add in the bit on how to get your MSL if a newb doesn't know how.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ingenium13:
Good idea. Added!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ampong:
thanks a lot

thank you very much. working perfectly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] pirvu_daniel:
Hello. First of all I want to thanky you for the information in this thread.

I have a question. In LTE APN Settings I don't have nothing and when I press menu I have only the option reset to default.

The phone is unlocked and rooted. I have modified the build.prop file.

Any suggestions? Thanks and best regards.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ingenium13:
Hmm, can you post a screenshot? Mine looks like this:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] pirvu_daniel:
After I have changed the apns-conf.xml file from the phone with a universal Samsung Galaxy S4 apns-conf.xml file, I have now the 4 options to choose but I don't have the option to add APN.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ingenium13:
Your build.prop looks quite a bit different than mine. Are you using the stock ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] pirvu_daniel:
Yes. I use the stock ROM. Can you give me a better ROM?

Thanks in advanced for your time and effort.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ingenium13:
Hmm, I'm using stock, and the end of my build.prop is very different from yours. It should be the same since it's built into the ROM. It looks like entries might be missing from yours. Have you modified your build.prop in any other way?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] pirvu_daniel:
No. I have modified only the 2 last lines in build.prop. Can you post here your build.prop file to modify my file like yours? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ingenium13:
Here it is. I wouldn't replace it or make changes without having a backup of your current build.prop first. You should also really make sure you're on the stock Sprint MF9 firmware. What is your build number from Settings, More, About device?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cwb1231:
I wanted to try to set this up but i have the same problem as pirvu. i am on stock rom with mf9 odexed hotspot mod (did i say that right?)

i get only the default reset option when i get to the APN screen. i have not modifed my build.prop file yet as i am being very careful before i try anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] pirvu_daniel:
The phone doesn't work with the build.prop file from Ingenium13. Thanks again Ingenium.

I have flashed the phone again with the standard ROM. Attached is my build.prop file.

I didn't manage to change the apns-conf.xml file with a standard apns-conf.xml. I have used for this ApnBackup and Restore and Titanium Backup.:(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] clip3009:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] robogoflow:
Just a quick question to understand apn. Since hardware is the same. Would flashing a T-Mobile rom like the Google play edition on a sprint s4 allow you to use T-Mobile network or is this a impossible theory?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nicotheandroidguy:
No because it still keeps the sprint modem (where the lock is). But you could try odining tmobile s4 software ( it could brick your phone). Good luck.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] skynetko:
hello guys ;)

I have Xperia P, rooted, bl unlocked ( for my bad :( ) CWM non bootable

first thing first I know there are similar posts on xda but I find my problem quite unique!

I think that my bootloader partition is corrupted or something,

this is what i get everytime flashing (doesn't matter what kind of kernel):

c:\Program Files\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130729\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash boot kernel.elf

sending 'boot' (12436 KB)...

(bootloader) USB download speed was 21695kB/s

OKAY [ 0.609s]

writing 'boot'...

(bootloader) Flash of partition 'boot' requested

(bootloader) S1 partID 0x00000003, block 0x0000d000-0x00014fff

(bootloader) Erase operation complete, 32768 bad blocks encountered

FAILED (remote: Image won't fit, too many bad blocks!)

finished. total time: 0.631s

is that a hardware problem that can be repaired somehow, or I screwed up my phone for good?

funny thing is that I am able to boot my phone and work with it for a few minutes without any problem, but after that a bunch of "stopped working app" pop-ups appear making me unable even to click OK and only hard reset can get me out of that missery. The other thing is, that data on my phone are by some miracle always restored after every reboot. I delete app, reboot, app is back. I take photo, reboot, photo is not there.

Next funny thing- I managed to munt my sd card as mass storage, so I was able to format it with tools like SDformatter, HP USB disk storage format tool. After format I rewriten sd card with bunch of crap (movies and so on) just to make sure, old data are not there anymore. For my excitement, after reboot, old data which was on sd card before formating was back - every single one openable (and crap nowhere). Where does it recover from? :confused:

please guys help me, I'm struggling with my phone over one week now :crying:

try installing the driver in the flashtool first and also flashboot/fastboot driver as well if done.

flash the ftf file then

hard turn-off your phone by hitting power button and up volume then wait for 3 vibrations...

hold down-volume button before inserting the cable (light green indicator)

yes it is, check my #1 post in this thread...I described the strange behaviour of my phone. I really don't understand. I can make phone calls,send messages, connect my laptop to its internet through its hotspot- in other words, everything works fine, but just for few minutes...

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
That's why I asked, because I wonder how it's working after earasing boot partition.

Did you flash stock kernel with fastboot (kernel.sin) and had those errors too?

I know there is format command in fastboot but never tried it, though bad blocks are usually at the device level and not sure there anything can be done about it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] skynetko:
not my case...running on 4 years old laptop with 2.0 USB ports only...I made a new try on everyone, no change...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] skynetko:
yes, I made attempt with it, the same old story with every kernel - too many bad blocks as in the #1 post
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] skyfast:
ohh silly me, well i was talking to your earlier response. i thought you cant detect your device on the flashtool, anyway whats your device current Rom and kernel?

I did a google search and it seems to be due to bad blocks, and it seems that no one can recover the bad blocks. Thus, Flashtool can't install any firmware because not enough space. If you try with fastboot flash xxx.img it will say just that:

[General Questions and Answers] Razarim:
Hello world.

The tablet Goclever TAB A104.2 that i have seems to run quite sluggish with stock ROM, often hangs up too long loads etc.

I've spent 2 days reading up on custom ROM.

However, after a long search i came up with no answer if a custom rom for 104.2 even exists.

And i wonder how much more different the roms for other devices are from the TAB A104.2 one.

So i am posting here in the hopes that i might get some answers or even a solution.

I wanted to put CyanogenMod or ParanoidAndroid on the device but they dont support my device, at least thats what i was led to belive.

Information on Goclever tablets is allmost non existent, and the ones that do exist are on polish which in the end dont make sense to me.

Device spec:

A10 1Ghz( CPU Cortex A8, GPU Mali 400)

OS 4.0.4

Internal Memory 8 GB

Ram 1GB

So any help would be appreciated :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] one-dimon:
Hallo,

i have a problem with updating cm 10.1 to 10.2 on my i9000. Like i say, i had allready cm 10.1 and prior to that 10.0 and helly bean. Till now everything was fine and every update was OK. I have allready root rights.

Now i tried to flash cm 10.2 like that;

1.

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

wipe dalvic cache

- flash cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd.zip - 2 times

- flash gapps 10.2.x 20130813

- reboot system now

After reboot, i'm in the welcome modus - i choose German - then start - then i can choose the connection WLAN or skip with data. In this part i get allready an error massage "com.google.android.gsf.login" and "unfurnatly google account manager was shut down". After that i'm back again in the choose-connection area. After chosing WLAN or skip and use data, i always get the above mentioned message.

Restore 10.1 again

2.

like above, but extra mounts and storage - format /system

- Result like 1

3.

Just update from 10.1 to 10.2 with CWM, without wipe data/factory reset - wipe cache partition - wipe dalvic cache.

- Result 4.3 is on my mobile, but there ist still the error massage from above.

4.

like 3, but i deleted the Google account in 10.1. Just uodated to 10.2 without wiping.

- Result -> no error massages, but i can't add google account. I clik on add account - google -> but nothing happen.

I don't know what to do. Do somebody have any idea? Where is my oult?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Your foult is that you didn't read pawitp's opening post carefully. All steps untill gapps were fine, then after gapps you should have remained in CWM recovery and go to advanced restore and restore your /data from last nandroid backup from cm10.1, it works perfectly well.

I would advice you not to install 20130824 build anymore as it has some serious bugs (I run it in my i9000 and it works perfectly fine but some people had total re-formatting ofntheninternal SD card and data lost) but wait now for just short, any moment nightly 20130827 will be uploaded. The bugs are fixed there.

Then you can repeat proceeding once again as above and accomplish with /data restore. Then it should work fine again :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] one-dimon:
Ok, i try it

Last question before i try, i have to restore just /data, wich backup do i have to do, full backup or just /data?

Thanx a lot
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
OK, now the new nightly build is there, CM10.2 20130827

Do all your steps as above (download zip, go to recovery mode, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache under "advanced", install 20130827 zip, stop here) now new:

if your last installed build is 10.2 you have already installed gapps for CM10.2 so you can skip re-installing them again

now go to "advanced restore" and choose your last nandroid backup of the CM10.1, where your google account was still working fine

choose now from your last nandroid file the option: "restore /data"

after restore is finished go back to main menu and reboot the system

Unless if you have formatted your SD card meanwhile, all your data will be back like they were in the CM10.1 (also your google account) and your new CM10.2 will work fine.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] one-dimon:
Hy, i tried what you said. I restored 10.1 before it

*

wipe data / factory reset - wipe cache - advanced .. wipe dalvic cache*- install 10.2

then - flash gapps for 10.2

then - restore just data

reboot system

*

4.3 is on my mobile, google account seems to be OK. But then i recognized, that my Contacts, Keep, Google+ and some other points doesn't synchronize. I've tried flash gapps again, then restore data -> error massage "google account closed"

*

My next step was to do above mentioned again - same error massage

*

So, i do it again. After wipe data / factory reset - wipe cache a.s.o. i had a look in my storage/sdcard0. It was full of old data, so i extra formated /system and formated /storage/sdcard0. After that i flashed 10.2 and gapps again and restored data. I receive the same sh.. error again and google account doesn't work.

*

Now i restored 10.1 again completely

*

Any idea?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Did you enable contacts sync in your accounts? Other thing you can do is to export all your contacts (in "people" ) as vfc data and after the upgrade import it from your SD card. I did that as I don't like google sync functions (for having few accounts) so I only enabled sync for the apps.

Other great thing is to use free app "SMS backup&restore" and "Call logs backup&restore" (by the same developer) from play store. The apps work for any android version and backup data is compatible to restore as well :)

Try to post in the development thread of nightly cm10.2 for i9000 or read through, I think also somebody else reported problems with google account, maybe it is solved why it happened.

BTW: for next flashing don't use nightly 20130827 anymore as the new 20130828 is out and it has many bug fixes

Just one question: did you flash the gapps for 4.3 as well? Developer pawitp is a genious person and he doesn't mention it anymore in his first posts (he thinks that everybody knows it.....)

If you didn't, you can do it later as well, just download them and install zip in recovery mode..... Sorry if it doesn't work. Then would be better to wait untilmstable version is released. CM 10.2 works in my i9000 amazing, but another people report bugs.
