[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JoeBear1975:
I have been scrolling through forums, looking for anything that would help me to root my S4, but I haven't had any luck. I was told that the people here are awesome & very helpful & to ask any questions that I may have & I have a couple. First off, do you need a SD card before rooting? I feel quite sure that you do. (As you can tell, I've never rooted a phone before, but after hearing all the things that you can do with it after it is rooted, I feel the need for speed.) My second question is, how do you root the S4? As stated before, I am new to all this so any HELPFUL advice is welcome. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ROMANTiC KiD:
For one, wrong place to ask a question. Second depends on what firmware your on. MDC, MDL, MF9?

I also have the Galaxy Tab 2 & want them to work together, so do I (& can I) root the tablet as well? Thanks again.

LOL, GR8!

I have NO idea about what firmware I'm on, or how to even find out.

Thanks for the link.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ROMANTiC KiD:
To check what firmware you are just check settings about phone

Yes you can aslo root tablets just takes awhile to search

Don't risk it lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Esoteric68:
This statement says you clearly don't need to be messing with rooting at this point.

You need to do a LOT of reading first. Scan these forums, read everything you can find, ask tons of question (in the right forum) and when you feel like you know all there is to know then read some more.

Too often people attempt rooting/modding their phones and end up bricking because they didn't even know the most basic of things about their phones (i.e. firmware version and how to find it).

[App Stores] mynote:
Hello Community,

i released an app in Playstore which is an antithief app. It was/is used by more then 35.000 users now. Well, Google blocked the app.

I recoded some parts to fit the disclaimer (visible, disclaimer on Startup, whatever) and released it again. I had the same app released as "testproject" which was not designed for Publishing.

Google checked it and blocked my account. - completly.

Now i have tried to send them some mails, letters, whatever but i didnt get any Response. Is there any way to get in contact with Google? What would you do when you got blocked?

If you flashed the c6602 version, you won't have LTE. Try the 6603 version. I always like to use the unbranded one from Germany. If you did flash the 6603 version, download the 6606 firmware and only flash the baseband. then type *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer and in the radio settings make sure it is set to LTE/CDMA/GSM preferred.

Hello I live in philadelphia USA I bought a z1 from Craigslist brand new unfortunately it's my own fault but I had my phone on charge it fell and was hanging from the wire and it manages to rip off the flap now it's lost I need a new flap is it possible to get one they don't have the phone here Sony said they can't fix it due to not being released here any ideas?

Try amazon, or any UK based phone websites.

But it should be released in US soon and then you can get parts

Called sony

I called sony parts and after being ****ed around to a third phone number that I had to call they quoted me $80 to replace one stupid freaking flap. I think it's worth just being careful with you phone for the time being. That was not including the postage to get it there qld -> nsw. And they mentioned they would do a pressure test to make sure it's water resistant again. Does anyone know if you can just get a life case similar to the iphones case?

Perhaps a Kernel problem ?

Hello Mattiadj,

I don't know why it doesn't work for me.

As a matter of fact, the system sees that i have 2 internal SD.

I have a Gt-i9505 (French version) rooted with CF-Auto Root.

I have init.d support with universal init.d

The Rom is samsung MH8.

I've installed Folder Mount and patched the system.

I think the problem might be a Kernel problem. Which one do you use ?

Thanks a lot.

PS: I used your patch when I had a GS 3, and it worked perfectly.

ciao sto usando GOLDENEYE 14 MK9 e ho riscontrato alcuni bugs con la versione 4.1

ho eseguiro un full wipe completo prima dell'istallazione della rom.

-lag fotocamera all'apertura presente a volte

-blocco totale della fotocamera all'apertura a volte

ho notato che i bug relativi alla fotocamera si presentano maggiormente quando la batteria è sopra al 15% e il flash è impostato su auto e cmq quasi con maggiore probabilità alla prima apertura della fotocamera dopo un riavio

-alcuni programmi hanno istallato dati nella memoria interna del telefono(avast e un buckup di clockworkmod)

per il resto funziona perfetto

Hello and thanks for your effort.

I'm on latest golden eye with a test v5 with minor changes about performance and big change about compatibilit and never had your lags.

Have you really full wiped your phone? Some apps can make some folder on internal in early stage of boot. I can't do anything for this behaviour but no lags and no problems. If you want I can PM your my beta version but I don't think it solves your lags problem.

Take attention to make a real full wipe. If you need you can add me to hangout with mattiadj150789020496@gmail.com
