Don't panic, you are still in solid ground and can recover from this, but you may have to lose your contacts, data etc as flashing a new gingerbread ROM, would be the obvious solution. But your photos and videos would still be there, as long as you have NOT formatted the SD card too. On the other hand IF you had google gmail account, it would have backed up your contacts detail, when the sync was ON.

Actually, this thread would have solved your problem already, either you flash the gingerbread upgrade or downgrade JVU ROM as guided or you flash the rescue kit ( which is also the same) in the unbricking section. , This ROM has the bootloader in it so you would not have an issue about it.

Note:- it is possible to use ADB to recover the data and contacts, if you have recovery mode (which you indicate is not having) its also possible to use ADB to boot into recovery, only possible when your have debugging ticked in your device.

SO take a moment to think things overs as to what you want to do, so flash the gingerbread ( sure to recover) or try to recover the data? ( no guarantees though.)

"""""SO take a moment to think things overs as to what you want to do, so flash the gingerbread ( sure to recover) or try to recover the data? ( no guarantees though."""""

I mean please tell which will be the best ROM for my device ...I really loved the previous (Cyanogen 9) ROM...

so please refer me a best ROM,,,:p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xsenman:
First and foremost, you need to flash the gingerbread ROM to solve your problem and get your phone booting, only after that you should look at CM, 9, 10 or 11. BTW there is no such thing as best ROM, that why you need to read the guide on "unsure which ROM yo chose" to get abetter idea about ROM's

Everything you need to do , has been explained step by step, in the 1st post of this thread, so READ, read and read again , once you understand it all, proceed to do it, step by step

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albertdc:
I have a weird question. I now have a Verizon S4, ME7 baseband, rooted. I used to have a S3. I use s-voice via Bluetooth dialing for voice dialing and texting all the time. It worked flawlessly on my S3 but sucks on the S4. It won't find some contacts, despite reading the names back to me perfectly while telling me it didn't find them.

I remember trying the S4 apk on the S3 when the S4 apk was released and finding it didn't work well for me. I reverted back to the stock S3 s voice.

My question now is, can I do the reverse? Can I put the S3 S-voice on the S4? Does anyone have the latest S3 s-voice apk? I don't have the S3 anymore (nor would I know how to get the apk off if I did).

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
I use apps from the s3 and note 2 all the time, most work and for those that don't I use apktool to mod them to work. In the case of s voice I imagine the app will natively work and it sounds like samsung tts doesn't have much to do with your issue. Im not at home to test or post it but you could always download a stock gs3 rom and extract s voice from it to try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albertdc:
Thank you. Excuse me for my ignorance: how do I extract an apk from a ROM? Is there a reference for me to follow or is it simple enough for you to post instructions? I've installed ROM's in the past but never actually worked on them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Extract the zip, then system apps are located in system/app then copy svoice from there. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albertdc:
Sounds simple enough. I will try it this weekend. Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] android-incredible:
something very important,dont forget to make a nandroid backup before,just in case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Good point, that reminds me, in order to install s voice you will have to push the app to system and change the permissions. Hey OP if you don't know how to do this let me know, id make you a zip but I believe you're on me7 correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albertdc:
Yes, thank you for the reminder. I planned on that, but always

nice to have the reminder.

Omph, thanks for detailing the need to change the permissions. I always read about people doing that, but have never done it. A zip would be awesome, but yes, I'm on me7 - does that mean you can't make one? If nobody else makes the zip, I'll read up on changing permissions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Unfortunately since your on me7 I cant make you a zip also you won't be able to make a nandroid back up either. This is because me7 doesn't allow you to have a custom recovery. Changing the permissions is pretty straight forward though, just make it match the other apps in the system/app folder, you'll also have to mount the system folder r/w.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albertdc:
Thanks for all your help. I extracted the file - called "Voicetalk" as far as I can tell. I pasted it into the system app folder using Root Explorer, changed the permissions, and nothing happened. I then realized that maybe I need to actually run the installer - tapping the file (which did indeed have the S3 S-Voice icon) gave me the option to install. I ran the installer, it showed the permissions, and then it failed to install with the only message showing: "Application not installed".

I deleted the app from the system folder.

I then tried again by first freezing the native S-Voice app. I tried installing the apk directly from the SD card and had the same result - not installed.

So, unless I am doing it incorrectly, I think the S3 S-voice will not install directly onto the S4. Any ideas as to a way to make it work?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
What you originally did was fine, just rename the original s-voice .apk to .bak then do what you originally did (move the s3 s-voice .apk to /system/app then change permissions) then reboot your phone. Also you can check to make sure the owner is root for both owner and group. I think it might have worked had you just rebooted. Alternativley you can just copy and paste the apk to your internal sd then use rom toolbox and go to app manager, tap the upper left corner (where it shows a little rubix cube android person) then go down to + APK Installer and select the s-voice apk that you copied to your internal sd card. Afterward check in app manager and make sure s-voice is a system app, if not convert it to a system app. Remeber to reboot your phone after it installs. If all else fails send me the .apk and ill figure it out and/or mod it to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] albertdc:
You ROCK!!

Thank you very much for your help. The key was this line you wrote: "just rename the original s-voice .apk to .bak " I had not done that and the S3 version would not install. Once I renamed the original s-voice, I was able to install the S3 version. Rebooted, and voila. Now it recognizes, without a hitch, the names that the S4 version was unable to find. So now I'm in business!

Cingular is sending me out a new for $225 but in the meantime I need access to my contacts and such. I stored a backup on an SD card awhile back and I was wondering if there was a program that would allow me to look at the info and maybe put it into Outlook in the meantime.

If you wondering why I didn't have it synced and backed up on a computer the reason is cause the water got spilled on the device while I was reformatting the computer I sync it with.

You must be rooted ( sorry )

Flash in recovery, its an aroma installer , so use your power button to except and the sound button to move and select (yes Aroma installers work with our recovery)

You will also need busybox installed which can be found in the play store

Also required is terminal, which is required to finish the installation after you reboot your phone

I selected the stock ROM and let it run, it took awhile to fix permission and I couldn't wait as I need some shut eye, so I rebooted. All went well, I would wait for it to complete the fix permissions part ( its really slow so be prepared)

After installation open terminal and type su and hit enter, know type awesome and enter, you should awesome beats being installed except build prop mods, after its finished type reboot and hit enter at thus point your phone will reboot and you will see awesome beats app in your app drawer

NOTE: PLEASE PICK THE STOCK ROM as our ROM is odex, also do a nandroid prior to flashing anything, it went well for me but you never know

It depends on whether you want it done for CM9, CM10 or CM10.x.

CM9 and CM10, guides are already up (that's for an S3 feel but so many people have modded it to look like an S4. Take a look at the Touchwiz roms for quite a few HTC phones, eg. Sensation, and there's also at least one in the Galaxy Ace forums).

CM10.x, its harder because of the new lock screen. However it seems to have been done to some extent, although it hasn't been released...
