[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raymond1688:
Hi everyone,

Before blasting away with comments as to why I would do this, here's my story,

I live in Canada and just brought home a i9508, a China variant of the S4. It belonged to my dad and he didn't want it so I just took it. The i9508 doesn't have Play Store, and it doesn't work on Canadian 3G network.

So to me, the phone is useless right off the start (don't intend on selling it either, who wants it?) So I had 2 options:

1) Leave the phone as it is, and probably use it once every 1-2 years when I visit HK

2) Flash custom roms on it fully aware of the risk it will have so that there's a possibility I can make it more usable

So in the end I went with option 2.

I followed a guide and flashed TWRP for i9505 using Odin onto the phone, and used TWRP to install chainfire SU, and it actually worked (but SU wouldn't open because some sort of security on the phone is blocking it)

Next step, I downloaded the CM version for i9505 and flashed onto the phone, and that worked too. Only problem I've encountered was that the phone would only boot after a fresh install. If I installed CM, turned the phone off after the initial start up, the phone wouldn't boot pass the Samsung logo.

Up until this point, I didn't make a backup, because of my arrogance, cause I have available a copy of the official firmware, in case anything happens.

So I figured at this point, maybe if I restore the original firmware, and try the whole process again, the custom rom would work. So I went into Odin, flash the firmware with PDA, and failed. It just wouldn't work. After retrying it a couple of times, and downloading different updates of the firmware, nothing worked. Only thing working right now is, I can get into Download mode, and I can get into TWRP recovery (but for some reason, I can't flash the zips that I've adb pushed onto the phone, zip can't open)

For me, if it can't be fixed, then it's really SOL. But if there's a way to fix it, I'm open to testing anything people have in mind, cause afterall, this phone is paper weight either way. I'm interested in seeing if I could enable 3G by flashing a i9505 radio, despite warnings, although, I've never actually came across a thread where someone had actually tried it before.

Either way, if someone has any idea on how to fix the phone, and wouldn't mind sharing it, that'll be greatly appreciated.

Working

I can get into Download mode, but Odin is failing (if you need the error please let me know and I'll post it)

I can get into TWRP recovery, but can't flash files

I can get into adb

This isnt the correct forum for your phone. XDA don't follow clones :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raymond1688:
Unfortunately a section for i9508 doesn't exist, so I figure the closest one would be i9505.

Anyhow, if someone has an idea of how to fix it, I'm more than happy to do testing on it, like flashing other roms or radios.

Hey guys hopefully you can help. I recently rooted my s4 (att) and didn't like some of the features and tried unrooting it. (I have MK2). It took me a while before I realized from what I read I couldn't go back to earlier versions and update to 100% bone stock like out of the box. Problem I'm having is I think I got rid of root but I'm trying to fix the device status from custom back to official and I have no clue what to do :( I'm a little ocd and don't like the custom logo on bootup. I'd appreciate any help and have been stressed out and frustrated all day :( if its possible I'll do whatever it takes to fix it

thanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] zacharyt86:
I've been trying to do this for quite some time, it doesn't look like there is any was to do it on MK2. Once you have the custom splash screen your stuck with it, short or rooting and installing WanamXposed, which does not good if your looking to unroot and return to full stock. The reason for this is Samsung has not released/leaked the Odin files for MK2, as far as I understand.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] toxicpaulution:
What features of root don't you like? You get to change anything about the phone and even get to delete system apps?

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverRoxas:
Hello all.

Was tinkering around with my KF- And accidentally wiped everything from my internal storage and system. When it boots up I get the blue KF logo and it stays stuck there- Can't boot into recovery.

ADB doesnt recognize it.

Have a fastboot cable.

How do I atleast push files to it /boot into recovery??

Many thanks.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
To boot into recovery, after you power on the kindle, immediately let go of power and instead hold volume down usually only until you see the blue kindle logo. You can hold it longer if it makes ya feel better, it should then show the twrp logo and from there you can use adb to push the ROM of your choosing onto the device, here's a tutorial for that assuming you get into recovery. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2459498

I think I know how to get it into recovery from fastboot as well but if that doesn't work you'd just have to reflash Amazon's os with kindle fire first aid.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverRoxas:
I tried all of this- Yes, I got it into recovery, It was recognized once by ADB and when I attempted to push the files from a flash drive it stopped working. Did the flash drive effect it or? It's also not showing up in device manager at all anymore after updating the drivers to ADB.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
You cannot use a flash drive with the Kindle Fire HD as it's unsupported. You have to push it via command prompts on your computer. Follow the tutorial posted. try adb sidelad rather than adb push as the command.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverRoxas:
I don't believe I made myself clear. I attempted to push a file from a flash drive connected from my computer and after it was attempted ADB couldn't find my device. Unless I am misunderstanding you, this is what I did. I have attempted cmd prompts and none are moving to my avail.

My apologizes if I am misunderstanding you, sir.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
Ah gotcha, I was thinking you were trying to use OTG with a flashdrive. So, I wonder if the problem was that you were trying to flash from a flashdrive or maybe you are missing the adb.exe file. The folder you put the ADB drivers in should have a file marked adb.exe as well. This is what will execute the pushing of the files. Make sure you point the drivers after it is in the folder you will CD from. If you don't have this then download the sdk package and in one of the tool folders you will have adb.exe. Just throw your drivers and ROM in that folder and that will be the folder you CD from.

So try this:

a. Make sure the ROM, ADB drivers and adb.exe are in the same folder.

b. Now go into device driver and manually (choose from your files) update the adb drivers and install them.

c. Once the adb is again recognised go into the folder with all the files and find a white area and hold shift and right click on the mouse and choose open a command window here.

d. Now enter the commands adb sideload name-of-rom-or-file-here-make-sure-to-add (.zip) - at - the-end /sdcard/

e. Give a minute for the process to show in the command window. You should start seeing some percentages as the file is pushed.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverRoxas:
I attempted your method shown here and I get stuck at ADB drivers. There is no Kindle Fire device in my device manager and no bubble shows up when my kindle is attached to my pc. Could the cord be the issue? (I'm also running Windows XP, if that makes a difference.)

Also, I have drivers installed, but I'm unsure they're the correct ones. Where can I find them?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
You won't have a pop up when your tablet is plug in at this point. In your device manage do you see a yellow triangle? There should be some android device in your device manager of some sort the pops up when plugged in. To test abd being recognized type adb devices in the command window and you should see your device show in the command window within 30 seconds.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverRoxas:
After another day of messing with it, yes, finally, it's recognized in ADB. I can push anything but the .zip files for Gapps and Roms. When I try to, it just gives me a list of all the commands you can use with ADB. I've tried ADB sideload and push. Neither work.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
Check the md5sum for corruption. Make sure to have those zips in the same folder you're CDing from.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverRoxas:
Okay, so now no file is pushing/sideloading to my Kindle. I have them in the same folder I'm CDing from and it's still just running through what commands ADB can do. I'm unsure why it's doing this? It pushed once and now it won't anymore (similar to how it detected my kindle before then didnt).
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
Is adb still recognized in you device drivers?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverRoxas:
Yes, my Kindle is still recognized.

i dont os on my kindle fire hd 7

I am having a mare with my kindle fire hd 7

It all starrted when anything google related kept crashing.

I tried to find solutions to the problem but no joy.

I then tried to install a different update to cyanogenmod nightly software but i then had a major problem with not being able to turn on my wifi.

I went into Twrp and tried to restore to my previous software but when my kindle re-booted i got stuck with a flashing teamwin logo

After trawling for days i managed to get out of that but im now in a situation where i dont have any OS on my kindle.

I have followed instructions on how to push files onto my kindle but despiote finding some files on my sdcard i am unable to reboot past the blue and white Kindlefire logo.

I have tried using the kindle un-brick java option but no joy either

I would really appreciate some help solving this proble as it is really driving me crazy.

I can still access twrp and i can access bootloader to get the orange and white fastboot logo.

If someone can help guide me through how i can get my kindle working again id really appreciate it

cheers

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: make/receive calls.

Instead of running around and getting no where, why not download and Odin flash CF-Autoroot

which is the best rooter to be found and can be directly downloaded here:

http://download.chainfire.eu/328/CF...jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919.zip?retrieve_file=1

Once you downloaded it, extract the tar file inside the zip and put the tar file into Odin's PDA slot/tab.

Then go ahead and flash it.

You will be pleasantly surprised that your phone will be able to make and receive calls again unless

there it had issues even before you flashed using techfanatic9's method (whatever it was).

Good luck!

just tried this. still having the same problem will not make calls when 4glte is on. everything works fine with 4g and the other networks. not surewhat the difference between 4gand 4g lte but its has to be something
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: phone issues

Which exact rom to you have installed right now?

Also check your baseband to see if it says: MK2 or MDL

You can check the baseband by going to:

Settings>More>About device

Then scroll down to the Baseband and see if it displays MK2 or MDL.

Without knowing those two things it's not easy to help you much.

Good luck!

Hi folks, I have my Wifi Note since half a year now and I love it. Unfortunately it started having problems with lockscreen lag when unlocked horizontal. Doesn't matter what unlock feature is enabled (swipe, password, pattern...) when I want to unlock it, it freezes and some seconds later it shows the vertical (portrait) lockscreen no matter I still hold it in horizontal (landscape) orientation...

Here is what I did with the phone:

- Flashed JVU via odin

- Flashed CF-Root with CWM via odin

- Wipe EVERYTHING

- Flashed semaphore kernel for 4.3 via CWM

- Rebooted to CWM

- Flashed CM 10.2 stable via CWM

- Flashed semaphore again

- Flashed gapps

And now the phone keeps rebooting to CWM everytime I power it on. It never goes to Android, it always boots to CWM. Any ideas?:confused:

Of course, i tried to flash CM / semaphore / gapps again but it keeps doing the same. Flashing only CM does not work either

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edingal:
As of last night my tab 2 (p3100) has been playing up, have it running a pac rom, not updated in a while but all was working fine. Now when I do get it on, it lags a lot on home screen, can only really access anything for about 30 seconds before its practically unusable. When I try to power off or reboot it begins the process but ends up freezing, only way I can get it properly off it to plug it in to charge and then hold power for ages. Then getting it on again takes ages. Only thing I recall doing prior to these issues was installing the peel remote earlier that day, maybe just a coincidence but after that it all went wrong. I've just tried a factory reset and data wipe, seemed to initially solve the problem but after a few mins back to the same issues, any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] putr4s:
Try flashing another ROM, like CM 10.2 or one of the stock-based ROMs. Make sure to wipe data, system and cache before flashing. If the issue still persists, try restoring a backup that you know worked.
