Not knowing anything about the I9506's partition configuration, it's impossible for me to determine if you can or cannot flash the E330S image on it. One major risk could be corruption of key/sensitive data due to partition overrun during flashing.

I'm 99% sure that when the I9506 gets 4.4.x, there might be a PIT file accompanying the update to update its partition configuration.

As for porting, it's easier if you had a 4.4.x kernel for the I9506 to start with. Normally one would stick to the phone's original bootloader and modem components and leave these untouched, and focus on porting the kernel/recovery/platform, whichever is required.

Help! Data services not supported on Samsung SHV-E330L Galaxy S4

Hello everybody!

Nine month ago I received an Samsung SHV-E330L Galaxy S4 bought from South Korea! Everything worked OK since I updated (using Kies) the operating system from Android 4.3 to Kit Kat! After the update the data service - connection to Internet was lost! I sent the phone to local Samsung service department here in Romania and they returned it to me saying that I have to change the mother board! They could not give me any pertinent answer/explanation about this problem! I get in touch with Vodafone provider and they said the problem is with the phone!

Every-time I start the phone I receive this message; "Data services not supported (Error code; 7)

Please help me!

Thank you very much!

who can share please, what does NF3 have new in comparison to NE2 (Changelist =1524022 in both versions)?
[Galaxy S 4 General] breaker12:
Hi sir David! Just a few questions... Can I directly upgrade from SUCNC4 to SUCNF3 on my E330S? I mean skip the SUCNE2 update? I currently have you SUCNC4 installed. Is it also possible to backup my settings and apps so I won't have to install and reconfigure them after update? I'm planning to do an upgrade hoping I'm gonna get better battery life as I only have about 3 hrs screen time with power saving mode on. Maybe someone can help us know what's new on this update. Thank you very much!
[Galaxy S 4 General] davidcsv:
You can flash NF3 if you're on NC4. It will not clear data, so your configurations and settings (incl installed apps) will remain unchanged.

Use Titanium Backup to backup apps and other settings, if required.
[Galaxy S 4 General] breaker12:
Thank you very much again sir for the reply. How will I flash it? Sorry I really have no idea in techy android things. Am I gonna use Odin? I don't have cwm installed. If it's okay with you, please give me detailed instructions so I won't lose any data when upgrading. Thanks again! :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] davidcsv:
All stock rom images in this thread are Odin flashable files (that is, after you have unpacked the .tar.md5 file from the downloaded archive)

For instructions on how to use Odin, please google... there are many guides available, like this one.
[Galaxy S 4 General] breaker12:
In the guide you cited sir, it says I have to extract the zip file and f reset time is checked. Could you please verify if this is correct? Thank you very much!
[Galaxy S 4 General] dc_power!:
Extract de .tar.md5 file from the zip archive and feed it to Odin in the PDA/AP section. Do not change any default options in Odin, so leave the F. Reset Time option checked as is.
[Galaxy S 4 General] breaker12:
Sorry for the unending questions sir. But please clarify that after doing this, WITHOUT any necessary backup to do, my apps and settings are retained after flashing using your instructions in Odin? Thanks again! :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] dc_power!:
The NF3 image clears the cache implicitly and leaves the data partition untouched. This means that all the apps' data and configurations will remain unchanged.

Note however that it is always recommended to perform backups prior to updating the phone's firmware, regardless of whether the phone is implicitly reset or not.
[Galaxy S 4 General] breaker12:
Ok sir, thanks. How do I perform a backup sir? Sorry I really have no idea and seems like there are so many different answers Google is feeding me that makes me confused. If it's ok with you, please give me a guide. Thank you very very much again! :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] dc_power!:
This is what I normally do when upgrading...

- Use Titanium Backup to backup the apps and their data (and restore when requried after a reset)

- SMS, Call logs and some other settings are automatically backed up if you have configured a Samsung account properly, so these will be restored during the configuration wizard

- many other settings are also backed up with the Google account, so these too will be restored during the configuration wizard

- anything left out, I setup/configure manually after a reset.

Remember, not every firmware image issues a 'factory reset' by clearing data, most will leave it alone and your data and settings will be ok. Sometimes you need to force a reset if problems arise after upgrading, which cannot be resolved.
[Galaxy S 4 General] breaker12:
But sir, can I perform a factory reset after flashing with Odin and still have proxyme installed? I am aware that I will lose all my settings and apps and I'm just planning to reconfigure them and redownload all my apps on playstore since I don't have a storage to use for titanium back because I only have a small storage sd card. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 General] davidcsv:
Proxyme and its supporting services are part of the firmware image (if downloaded from this thread). A factory reset does not remove it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] breaker12:
Thanks sir. How about cache wipe? How to do it? Since in the main thread it says I've to perform factory reset and cache wipe. Sorry if I have to ask everything from you. Thanks again sir!
[Galaxy S 4 General] davidcsv:
When you perform factory reset (wipe data), cache is automatically wiped too.
[Galaxy S 4 General] breaker12:
It can be done via the Settings tab, right? since I do not have CWM installed and I know that you can perform a factory reset from there. Are they the same? :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] davidcsv:
Stock recovery supports wiping data and cache as well. Yes, can be done in settings.
[Galaxy S 4 General] breaker12:
Just to tell all followers of this thread:

The pre-rooted rom (E330SKSUCNF3) I just installed on my SHV-E330S is just awesome! It was simply smooth and fast! I didn't encounter any problems at all except the flashing method itself. I accidentally soft-bricked my phone and I panicked. But I just read that using a non-Samsung data cable can cause problems. Glad I was able to borrow one from my sister from her Galaxy S Duos. After that, the flashing process was smooth and easy.

I would like to thank everyone who helped me on flashing the rom especially the masters of this forum: davidcsv and dc_power!

SALUTE TO ALL OF YOU!

PS: I will try to add another post regarding the improvements in my battery life. I will still have to figure out if the problem is within my previous rom (SUCNC4) or my battery itself needs to be replaced.

Hi everyone!

I just want to ask if anybody has an idea about the changelist on new firmwares? I want to know the changes per firmware update because it's hassle for me to flash a new firmware without any major fixes or changes as I frequently soft-brick my phone via Odin.

For example:

E330SKSUCNG1 has changelist of 1524022.

So what does that mean?

Another question: What version of Odin should be used when flashing these firmwares? I tried some versions and they bricked my phone except one, which unfortunately I forgot which one I used as I have many versions on my computer.

Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] dc_power!:
That's the one million dollar question many are trying to solve :) As far as I have understood, the big boyz decided some time ago that the SIM toolkit imposes a security risk and so it has been rendered inaccessible to users from Android 4.x onwards.

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------

It is possible to enable the Delivery Reports Menu in the stock SMS/MMS app, but the Korean stock ROMs have somehow crippled this function. We have the issue in both Korean S3 and S4 models.

---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 AM ----------

Odin3 v3.09 will definitely work.

As for details of changelists, they are not available to the public apparently.
[Galaxy S 4 General] breaker12:
Thanks sir. The installation was smooth and successful. Just another question, is it possible to change the sms limit of 160chars as it automaticallyy donverts the sms to mms when I reach 160chars limit.

Another question: is it possible to edit the debloat script here? It automatically removes the samsung hub and therefore causes the screen rotation function not to work. Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] davidcsv:
For controlling sms size and threshold (before changing to mms) limits, edit the /system/csc/customer.xml file and make changes in the <messages><sms> section by altering the value for <PageLimit> and <ThresholdValue> to some number other than 1. I believe either one or both of these tags control at which threshold value the number of sms messages will change to an mms message.

As for the size of an sms message, edit the /system/csc/feature.xml file and change the <CscFeature_Message_SmsMaxByte> value to alter that limit.

Before making the abovementioned changes, make sure to remount the /system partition/mountpoint as read/write in a root explorer. Reboot the phone to make changes effective.

The default debloat.sh script consists of example code to remove certain system components (apps). It is normally located in directory /sdcard/Proxyme, but can be any filename in any location accessible by Proxyme in user mode. Although I don't remember having included statements in the example script to remove the Samsung hub as well, please remove any lines related to stuff you want to keep.

Information about SHV-E330L

Hi devs,

Please tell me what is the difference in three korean models S/K/L and GT-I9506?

Is it possible to interchange firmware of these phones like can i flash E330S firmware on E330L?

I would like to debrand my E330L which is on 4.4.2, recently GT-I9506 got 4.4.3 update so i can flash GT-I9506 firmware on my E330L?
[Galaxy S 4 General] davidcsv:
Hardware spec-wise I'd say there is little to no differences between the Korean and international variants, except for the Korean models having extra components for DMB reception (hence the antenna) and viceversa the international model having support for FM radio reception. The L model can have some minor deviations from the S/K model, but I've never touched ANY L variants of the Korean Galaxy phones, be it S2, S3 or S4; meaning I cannot comment on the L model.

As far as I know or have understood from other sources, S and K models can be interchangeable with some minor changes to the firmware image composition. L, unfortunately, I do not know...unless you are willing to test it (it being an altered image to suit the L model). I would recommend to NEVER flash an original image intended for a different model unless you are 100 percent sure that it will not cause (huge) problems.

Edit:

Are you sure the I9506 received 4.4.3?? Latest image I could find is 4.4.2 (France-Orange branded).
[Galaxy S 4 General] galliard:
How can i test b/w different images? some where i read that we can play with system img only so it will not harm or hard brick device. I was facing two issues on E330L using in Pakistan. It does not switch to EDGE, only GSM and 3G (didn't test 4G LTE). HPSAP works fine but only show 3G, got this link http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45737996&postcount=25 and when i receive call from a no. which is not in my contact list it shows unknown no. rather than displaying a no. but after finishing call it can be viewed in call log normally.

Apology for mistake latest firmware for GT-I9506 is 4.4.2, so i'm wondering if i could use this on E330L. Also read in xda forums that 4.3 version of GT-I9506 works fine except Wifi.

Correct, messing with system.img only does minimize bricks, although for some things we need changes to the boot kernel as well.

If you want to try a particular I9506 stock image, then try posting a request for help and see if there's anyone out there who could prep one for your L model.
[Galaxy S 4 General] davidcsv:
We use the term flash/flashing for writing a new firmware image or part of it with one of the following methods:

1. Odin3 - windows program, which communicates with Samsung phones put in a special Odin download mode.

2. custom recovery - this would have been 'flashed' some time earlier on the phone.

3. manually - this would require a rooted phone.

In this thread, I prefer to provide Odin 'flashable' stock (based) images only and leave the custom images arena to others.

I haven't included a tutorial for 'flashing' with Odin in this thread, because Google provides more than adequate number of references to How-To's.

Please help, as I do not know how to fix this problem. Sorry if it is very unrelated to this thread but I know you guys have the samw unit as mine.

I have an SHV-E330S and when I logout from the Facebook application, I get endless pop up message of "Unfortunately, android.process.acore has stopped." I learned from ther sites that I have to wipe the data in contacts storage to fix it. Unfortunately, the fix is temporary. Since my contacts are deleted after doing such fix, I import them from my Sd card to bring them back. But when I do so, when I try to delete one of the contacts I get the same error again. Also, I can't use the Facebook app anymore as it also triggers the problem. Please help me. Thank you in advance!

Have you considered a full reset, clearing data and cache? When I get unexplainable FC's and apps acting weird, I almost Always issue a factory reset before attempting to further diagnose the problem.
[Galaxy S 4 General] breaker12:
Already did yesterday, then restored user apps using titanium backup but system data were all fresh. Still, the problem occurred after a day. Maybe it has something to do with contacts storage in the firmwa I use (SUCNG1) for SHV-E330S. Do you think sir that it is possible to change the Contacts storage system app?

Just a follow-up question regarding the sms limit. I already did these steps and can successfully send only upto 160 characters per sms. Is there any way possible to send a long message?

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

Could be limitation in rom...guessing...but I doubt it.

Are you sure it's not just support for long messages you are referring to, where messages are automatically split into multiple 160 character messages and at the receiving end, if supported, reassembled to make it look like a single message again?

Last time I checked, SMS messages are by design limited to a length of 160 latin encoded characters and less if used for wide character languages.
