[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cannon_Foddr:
And you think that I haven't used search ?? :p

I have, but I've only tried the 'simple' things (soft/hard rest etc) since for a newbie like me many posts are very confusing

for example this one (although its for rooting) has a bit about

however looking at 2nd post & there's a link to WiFifix where there are many files, which I am unsure which one to use.

Kies 3 tell me I have PDA:MK8 / Phone:MH8 / CSC:MK5 (BTU) & there a MK8 AND a MH8 file there - so which one do I use ? (BTW, I updated the firmware originally using Keis so I don't think the WiFi fix is really relevant, but reflashing the ROM with Odin MAY be useful to know.. if only I know WHICH rom to use) I won't be able to use keis since v3 tells me that 'Your device current firmware is not supported to update via Kies'

> I've read about flashing a Modem with Odin - but that didn't say where I can get it from or which file to use

> I've read articles about 'Knox Warrenty' being '1' or '0x1' (or whatever) - so how do I check that ??

> I've also read about 'freezing' the Knox apps to 'allow' me to turn on my Wifi - but to do so Titanium is recommended (& it has to be the paid for version to 'freeze' apps)..

which I cant download because I have no Wifi (& it costs a FORTUNE to do so using PAYG)

> I've also seen posts about UNROOTING the phone by using Odin & install stock ROM (in case you need to send back to Samsung)

In second post there's quite a few United Kingdom BTU (I

assume

I need a BTU for an Unbranded Sim-free phone) with different version.. I I assume for the latest version it's the first one in the list

United Kingdom BTU (November 2013) (NO DOWNGRADE)

PDA: I9505XXUEMK8

CSC: I9505BTUEMK5

MODEM: I9505XXUEMK8

Version 4.3

but how do I find out if the Modem is correct ??

& since I have problems with the Wifi with the

latest version

- perhaps there's a problem with it in general,

can I downgrade back to 4.22 ?? I've not seen any mention if this is possible & once again - WHICH one do I use ? there like 3 or 4 different ones

> I've also seen post elsewhere that direct me to sammobile.com - I assume my GT-i9505 is the same as a 'GT-i9505LTE' (that is how much of a newbie i am) since that is the only UK BTU they have...

Checking firmware on the site & it shows

PDA: I9505XXUEMK8

CSC: I9505BTUEMK5

Modem: I9505XXUEMK8

Latest firmware version

GT-I9505 Galaxy S 4 LTE

PDA: I9505XXUEMK8

CSC: I9505BTUEMK5

MODEM: I9505XXUEMK8

Added: 2013-11-22

PDA and CSC match (I think) with Keis (as it only show the last 3 characters) but once again .. how do I find out the Modem ?

FYI in 'About Phone', which might be useful for anyone who can offer me proper advice into which file(s) I should use (I forgot to add it to first post), I have :-

You find it yourself, they're all over the place. SamMobile being one.

Download mode.

Download the APK file to your PC, plug your phone in, transfer to phone's memory, using a file browser/manager on your phone, install it?

Yes that'll be the most recent

I don't get what you mean. Correct for what?

There is a massive problem with the updates lately, Samsung have pulled almost all of the 4.3 updates in UK and US from what I've read.

I think you can install a 4.2.2 version but that won't get rid of KNOX, people are still trying to work out a way of getting rid of it.

Again, not being funny, but you just wrote/copied the bit you need to look at.

So, I currently have a custo-- nvm it was like that.

-ahem-

I have the Stock APK of The Sims 3 that comes with the Phone Originally (Backed it up) and I did the download and what not, everything seems to be fine.

The game runs fine until I finish making a character and/or when I load the game.

Meaning :: The "App" works but the "Game" doesn't. Has anyone had this issue?

And yes, I also tried another version of the game, but it gets stuck in the EA screen...

So currently I have 3 "installations" the Xperia Play Backup, the downloaded, and the 2D/Basic Version (Which is impossible to find @n@)

Any clues on how to fix this?

factory reset, clearing dalvik cache and cache partition on the recovery might do the work or flash another rom, going back to stock firmware using odin will fix this problems.........

Hi,

I want to put a RSS feed from Simple RSS widget onto a Cooper panel. I've seen examples of this, nut was unable to do thus myself. I figured out that they must have used Tasker to do this. However, I have no idea how... I've looked over the internet and have not found much help for my specific issue there. Any help provided here would be most gratefully received.

Thanks.

I did with the help of this theard:

1) Download the OTA.zip and copy to your phone.
2) Boot into recovery.
3) Flash the OTA just like you would a ROM.
4) Reboot.

Then I flash it with TWRP 2.6.3.0

After flashing I got this message:

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip "filename"
E: Error installing zip file 'filename'

I tried Dalvik/Cache wipe but it didn't help.

Now I can't boot into Android, it show GOOGLE and then blank screen

I can go to TWRP but when I try to use ADB sideload to connect with my computer, I get this message:

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip "inner.zip"
E: Error installing zip file 'inner.zip'

I don't have any rom in SDcard but the file "signed-occam-KRT16S-from-JWR66Y"

May anybody help me with this problem, please :(

In the worst case, where can I fix my phone with fee :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Any changes to the /system partition or by rooting can cause OTA to fail. Flashing OTA is only recommended to a pure untouched stock rom.

Follow the guides in my signature to flash 4.4 without wiping your data.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
why dont you just search your issue and for fixes... Put your phone in recovery and use adb to push over a rom. I dont want to be the bad guy here but why flash an OTA zip if you are already rooted just flash a stock rom. So many of you make things so much harder for yourself than it has to be.

Sorry for bashing you but you also should always keep a nandroid on your phone. Do some research or try what I suggested and good luck but for future reference be mindful of what may happen if things go wrong
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mecatro:
I used OTA because I didn't want to reset my phone. I know it was stupid :(

I read some topic and they said my problem is TWRP 2.3.6 isn't compatible with android 4.4

(I should use CWM is).

I think now I have some think like android 4.4 in my phone but it can't boot

The problem now is I can go to recovery but can't usse adb to push a rom.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TE TOQUE:
So I've been looking around for an aluminum protective case for my note 3 since it came home. As most of you have heard from others, the full aluminum cases despite the protection, suffer from drastic signal loss. I figured I couldn't go wrong with an aluminum bumper and bought two awesome looking bumpers off ebay. One is a gorgeous solid aluminum bumper with no hole for mic but really nicely made and a thin aluminum bumper with all openings. The biggest drawback of both of these bumpers is that there is no camera protection. As all of you have noticed the rear camera is raised a bit, which makes these bumpers a no go if your laying it down on rear. I saw a full protective case on Ebay that was composed of three pieces : aluminum frame, silicone style case and aluminum rear with a cutout. I went ahead and ordered for a measly $14 and some change, thinking it wouldn't be a big loss. My package arrived today from Hong Kong and I couldn't be happier. I absolutely love it. It is the exact look and feel I wanted. For those who want a nice solid aluminum case with no signal loss I recommend you get one. I hardly write stuff on here but I felt compelled to share my experience.

Here's the link to ebay ad.

I'm pretty sure its for NFC as well. Plus it helps with reception as opposed to solid rear cases with affect reception.
