Dis the tmobile s4 google edition have wifi calling or only tw?.

Why hasn't there been a 4.4 Google Edition rom in t-mobile s4 dev section?

Is there a problem with the kernel ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoboBrazil:
There's really no point. A T-Mobile version of the rom wouldn't give you anything different than flashing the i9505 version(it comes naturally from Google without carrier branding) and making it for the i9505 will let the rom reach a wider audience. The only thing you might have to do after flashing is change the apn setting for lte.

Owner of Tmobile M919 model want to install 4.4 kitkat

Hello Guys

First thanks in advance to anyone that may be able to provide me some info / input on my questions.

1. I would like to get out of the samsung branded install of the tmobile S4 and try a rom that would give me stock OS like the Google edition / Nexus phones.

2. Is it it possible to get 4.4 kitkat stock/custom rom installed on this phone ? any recommendations / issues ? i know that wifi calling is lost with stock roms but what about tethering ?

My phone is already rooted and TW recovery installed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevind07:
1.) Just go over to the Development section and browse the different 4.4 based Roms. They're almost updated every other day. I've tried a few of them and each has their strengths/weaknesses. Just always make sure that you Backup your current software so that if there is an issue, you can return to a previously working software.

2.) If you haven't upgraded to the MK2 radio yet, I would advise reading all that you can about it and performing that (provided you're still on MDL Bootloader). Tethering was still available with all of the 4.4 Roms that I tried. Ultimately, it comes down to what you prefer. I went back to a stock-ish 4.3 Rom because of certain features that a GE Rom just didn't have.

Best of luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tampoon:
i had been wondering this myself as well. this does look like the rom i want. im still on the 4.3 version of it atm, does installing the mk2 radio stuff do anything for me? and if so at what point would it be best to do the install? ( now or after installing the 4.4 rom?) i guess i dont fully grasp what the radio does for me.

thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jonahtriangle:
The radio is more like a driver for all you cellular hardware. KitKat does not like the old firmware. That being said if you don't upgrade you may or may not have issues. Updating firmware would be best before installing your ge ROM. I would test it out now on you current ROM and then switch over to KitKat. Have you rooted or updated to new 4.3? What ROM are you on now?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tampoon:
ahh thanks for the reply, im running jamals gpe 4.3 rom from the dev section,rooted, twrp recovery. was watching the forums so i never updated to the stock tw 4.3 thing, went from stock 4.2.2 tw directly to this rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jonahtriangle:
If I were you I would follow this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2544612 it worked for me. This will upgrade radio without giving you Knox. IMHO I think dandroids ge ROM is the best. Also infamous (the man) is about to drop a ge ROM any minute. I am using the beta version and its rock solid.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tampoon:
thanks for the reply. ill give that a try here later today. and keep an eye out for that infamous rom sounds like it will be a good option. do you have any opinion of the ge rom linked to in this thread? i only ask cause the 4.3 rom im on was made by the same person and its been amazingly stable for me so far
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jonahtriangle:
Honestly they are all similar. The come from the same base. I do like the faux kernel of dandroid. Can droid has been the smoothest. Jamal's was good and is fully stock virtually untouched. His development was slower than other so I jumped ship. If you like his work stick with it. I use dandroid for the built in xposed framework. I can mod the hardware buttons and status bar easily and a little less bloat. Infamous has more bells and whistles. Hope that helps. Oh and FYI I have dirty flashed between all of these ROMs no problem. I also clean flashed them as well to really compare. Worst case scenario you just nandroid backup the one you like and flash em all they are smaller size to back up. Let me know how it works out
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelus_za:
good day

i have been reading through the forums and various links

i have already tried to root my Sony Xperia Z1 with vroot and 360root, but just before i did that i connected my phone to my pc and it updated to 14.1.G.2.257 so now i have to use flashtool and downgrade to .534

so both vroot and 360root failed so i not sure if they got my IMEI number or not

anyways my current phone is branded with vodacom and along with all the vodacom bloadware, the main reason i want to root my phone is becuse i hateeeee being forced to have apps that i dont use and that i can not uninstall

phone info

device model

- C69033

software version

- 14.G.2.257

software ID

- 1276-1257 R13A

baseband verision

- 8974-AAAAANAZQ-10270011-22

i have also read that i may loose the bravia engine :eek:

so if i read right the steps that i should follow are;

1. downgrade to 14.1.G.1.534 Commercial/Journalist 1277-1398 with flashtool (as this as per what ive read in the forums already has a OTA update)

2. use this method to root the device Root MANY ANDROID! [Upd: 20.11.2013] - Added Z1 Root

3. Back up TA with	[TOOL] Backup TA v9.8 for Windows [20130928]

4. to get rid of the vodacom startup screen i should run bootloader?

5. to get rid of apps that i dont want i use flashtool ?

thanks for the asistance
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Not if you just root, only if you unlock the bootloader as well

Correct

Correct

No need to do this unless you are unlocking the bootloader, which you do not need to do

No, once you have rooted, install Titanium Backup from the play store (Free version, but I recommend the paid for version) then just uninstall the apps you do not want

No, flashtool is for flashing stock FTF's, you uninstall your bloatware using Titanium Backup

You do not have to unlock the bootloader at all if you just want to root and uninstall bloatware.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelus_za:
Brilliant thanks for the help I will gather my courage lol n try over the weekend n let u know how it goes

oki downgrade to 14.1.G.1.534 Commercial/Journalist 1277-1398 with flashtool then i rooted with Root MANY ANDROID! [Upd: 20.11.2013] - Added Z1 Root then i updated through pc to 14.1.g.2.257

how can i confirm that iam rooted now ?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Look for supper user app in app drawer, or do something that requires root.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelus_za:
ya i installed titainum backup and it came up with a warning now iam running the root again and it is just sitting on a white screen and if i touch it it changes colour not sure whats happening
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahki767:
What warning came up? try following this guide if you wanna redo it all over again
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw_oz:
Not sure what you are saying exactly, your phone didn't root that you are doing it again? make sure you have the phone in developer mode, if not under settings keep clicking about phone until it comes up and says you are now a developer or similar. Make sure you have USB debugging ticked, and then try vroot, worked well for me.

First launch of Titanium backup should ask for root permissions.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelus_za:
ok i got 14.1.G.1.534 Commercial/Journalist 1277-1398 rooted on my phone now

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jojowill:
I have a 2013 Nexus 7 with 16 GB of memory. A few weeks ago, I dropped the unit and cracked the screen; however, the crack is very small and doesn't affect the screen whatsoever. ( It's at the bottom left-hand corner.)

So, my question is this: How much could I sell it for? I've tried to compare prices using eBay, but most of the units with cracked screens have much worse cracks than on my unit.

I included pics below for reference.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] adit9989:
A unit with cracked screen is bought only for the rest of the components (if somebody needs them) I don't think you expect somebody will use it as is ? How cracked the screen is irrelevant, you are lucky to get any thing for it (most will buy a unit with a working screen and something else dead as screen is the most likely part to break, and also probably the most expensive part to replace).
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] laur3n.newm4n:
Most people buy cracked screen devices for other parts, or if the cost of the replacement screen + the used device is less than the cost of buying a new unit outright. Personally, I do not care if it is cracked a little or a lot; either way I'll be replacing the screen, so I will always choose the cracked screen listing that is cheapest, considering what else is damaged and would need replacing. Keep in mind that it's probably just easier for them to replace the LCD and the digitizer all at once so they don't have to fart around with separating them and what not.

Remember, when you're selling used items, they're usually worth a lot more to you than they will be worth to other people (like for example, my 2002 Ford Explorer is only valued at $3,000, but it's worth way more to me than that, so I will just keep it instead of trading it in).

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nrgie:
I installed CWM and init.d to my ray. Restarted and plug in to charge. Next time I saw that my phone turned off and charged towards offline. When I started it goes into bootloop. I boot into recovery and wipeout what I can but bootloop continues.

I reflashed 4.0.4 stock firmware with flashtool but bootloop stays. I flashed nearly all stock firmware GB and ICS but I have the bootloop.

Bootloop with both logo 'Sony Ericsson' and 'Sony' .

SEUS said I have the newest firmware. Companion repair says no available firmware for my phone.

I tried to flash GB and start SEUS but still says that I have the latest software.

I haven't got cwm, fastboot, adb. Bootloader is locked and never been unlocked. (not allowable)

Sony software support is a piece of s**t.

Flashing not resolve this problem.

What can I do ? any ideas ? I have only flashmode.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] technoweary:
Hi Folks,

I fell into the trap of allowing the Sync Manager update some months back, and paid the price by having my Microsoft Outlook data shredded.

Fortunately I had a back, up but even so it took a whole weekend to sort out the corruption, (in fact I am still finding corrupted data entries now and again).

About a week ago the Sync Manager driver on the PC did an update, I could not stop it and I have tried system restore to reverse it, but it just re-installs as soon as Sync Manager starts.

I am using version 2.1.77.0, it's the original version that HTC sent when they realised the update was broken and corrupts data.

When I connect the phone now Sync manager starts up but does not see the phone.

Having contacted HTC support I got the perfunctory, 'update the software' reply.

As far as I am aware HTC have issued no news that the problems with Sync Manager have been fixed.

I do not wish to risk the corruption of data again and I wonder if anyone has information that the latest update is safe?

Regards to all
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Pixel69:
On the top of the screen you have the GPRS icon which looks like [G], however the phone is EDGE, right ?

The tool I found the web allows you to display the EDGE icon like [E].

Just copy the CAB file to your ppc, execute it and reboot !

Works fine.

Nice ! Thanks...

Does this just show an E for everything or when I am on GPRS instead of Edge it switches appropriately?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
just replaces it entirely - so if you're not actually on an EDGE network, but on a GPRS network, you'll see an 'E'.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't ;)

We really want to know whether we are on a GPRS network or an EDGE network. I installed ROM 1.6.7.1 from Qtek on my K-Jam and I have the E & G icons and they switch back and forth depending on network coverage.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SkyyBoy:
FWIW, I did this registry hack & my phone is now displaying G when in GPRS territory, and E when in EDGE territory.

I just got back from a trip to Bangkok, where I use the DTAC network. When in parts of Bangkok where EDGE is available (Siam Square, Sukhumvit, Asoke, etc) my phone would display the E icon. When in areas with GPRS only (Saphan Kwai, Mo Chit, etc) then it displayed the G icon. My reported speeds on dslreports.com/mspeed confirmed my observations (GPRS approx 35-40k/sec, EDGE approx 75-80k/sec)

Hi to all,

I've the problem that this hack dosn't work on my VPAcII. I just figured out that I've 3 bitmaps in the windows-folder of my device: gprs.bmp", "gprs_connect.bmp" and "GPRSConnectPPC.bmp" - these bitmaps are displayed when I'm online - but I can't find any bitmaps with "E" inside? Can anyone of you where the hack is working find out if there are such bitmaps with "E" in the windows folder of the device - and if yes (I'm shure that they are there) post these bitmaps in the forum, would be very happy if I can get them...

many thanks

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eva_d:
Re: qtek 9100 ROM

have you done registry hack before? i've the same ROM and it works. maybe you're just outside EDGE coverage?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eva_d:
it does NOT depend on bitmaps, unfortunately. it was already investigated in some other topic and the conclusion was that EDGE icon is hidden probably in tapires.dll file.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gekap:
thanks for the info... I'm here in austria and we have EDGE everywhere available where GPRS is available, but I can't see the "E"... my next questions: is there any special configuration necessary to have an "E"-Connection? How can I figure out if I'm connected with GPRS or with EDGE?

thanks

Gerald
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eva_d:
there's no need for some extra configuration, so basically you need to use standard GPRS connection settings provided by your operator. how to figure it out? by speed of connection - with GPRS maximum download is around 5-6 KB/s, with EDGE i used to have even 20-25 KB/s. however, EDGE speeds are much depending on coverage quality, so if you have weak operator's signal (like -90 dBm or less), you probably won't get good transfer results. :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] martinlbb:
For people who can't use Edge icon (don't work !), I suggest you to try the following tips :

1- install cab or do registry hack

2 - hold down for a long time power button, since your PDA ask you if you want to switch it off.

3 - Your PDA is off

4 - hold down power button and wait, it will restart

5 - Your back, with no lost data and you've got Edge icon.

Registry change are processed iin cache.

If you juste soft reset after a such change, you loose it.

Using power button is usually a good way to integrate registry change.
