It's on the virtual CD-ROM that appears when you plug your phone into your PC. Open that. allow it to recover stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xMopx:
I can't get to that since the phone isn't booting at the moment :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] airtime82:
Go to stock recovery where you see the dead android. On that screen try holding your power button and tapping vol up. If the menu appears do a factory reset and reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xMopx:
Hmm no luck, that screen doesn't seem to respond to anything. Pity software doesn't come on CDs anymore :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
OK, let's try a different tack. I'm pretty sure your phone is not running ME7, but is running something newer..

Boot into downloader mode, then try to flash the ME7 full-wipe ROM.

When it says "Auth fail" on the ODIN screen, look at your phone and tell us what it says.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xMopx:
Here's what it says:

Search suggest I'm flashing something older than what's installed currently. But I don't think this is possible, a few pages back I linked the ME7 Rom I was using until I decided to flash back? Unless the data above indicates otherwise?

Should I flash something newer, like this? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2484726
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
"Fused: 5" - your phone has MJ7 or later.

"Binary: 3" means that you're trying to flash ME7.

Somewhere along the line you've acquired a MJ7 bootloader. You'll have to flash a MJ7 ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xMopx:
I tried flashing MJ7 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2507253

Errored out again, the ODIN log is:

And the screen of the phone says:

Tried 2 different USB cables and Odin 3.09 and 3.07 for good measure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
OK, so *now* you need to get the MJ7 PIT file and flash that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xMopx:
The PIT file is part of the large .tar.md5 restore file and is applied when restoring that anyways. Regardless, I extracted a copy and applied it along with the firmware restore file, and got this error in odin:

Restoring JUST the PIT file went fine, but doing the firmware after that got the same error log as above.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thedoman:
Did you put the pit file and the restore file on Odin at the same time and run them together
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xMopx:
I tried doing them both at once as well as doing the pit file then the firmware file. The error log in my last post is the result from either method.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Uninstall all usb drivers related to Samsung. Uninstall kies and Verizons upgrade assisstant. Reboot. Then reinstall just the usb drivers and Install Heimdall and then try to flash just the system.img.ext4. Google how to install Heimdall 4.0 or 4.1 on Windows (I would give directions but ive never installed it on Windows, Mac/Linux only)

Then after installing Heimdall on the flash tab browse for the pit file you downloaded earlier and put it there. Extract the system.img.ext4 from the Odin tar (rename the tar.md5 to tar first) then add system.img.ext4 in the list of partitions to flash. Click add then remove. Then in the last tab have it detect your device and finally go back to the flash tab and click install/flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Hey I'll throw a thanks your way for that. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xMopx:
Awesome! This got the phone booting :D. But wifi doesn't work, after a factory reset to wipe data. Should I try again with Odin now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
For the sake of completeness, sure. If that doesnt work follow the directions I wrote before but this time along with system.img.ext4 add boot.img, modem.bin, and NON-HLOS.bin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xMopx:
Awesome, I stuck those in Heimdall and that did the trick!

So happy the phone is working again. I can't thank you enough! :D

Thanks guys!

Based on the recent amount of questions and issues people are having with the more recent firmware versions, I feel like maybe I should just make/write an Odin/Heimdall error/fix guide now lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
I'm sure that'd help a lot of people Surge. I try to send people your way any of those questions I don't fully understand so a nice guide world go a long way. Clearly that would take a lot of your time but it would be greatly appreciated!
[Sony Xperia ZL] ej_424:
After 1 year I'm coming back to Android scene from Windows phone 8.

I want to clarify a few things.

The model I got (6506) is a Bell Canada phone which from my understanding doesn't support the bootloader unlock. What are the limitations of not having a unlocked bootloader. It looks like I can still root it and install CWM and flash a few custom roms. Essentially the only thing a unlocked bootloader would provide is me going to 4.4 now as I could run a custom kernel correct? I dont care about overclocking my phone so the kernels aren't really of any interest but its always nice going to 4.4 before sony releases it. Will there be custom roms available for my phone based on 4.4 once its out? Also will a vanilla (CMS) style rom be possible on 4.4 once sony officially releases it for this device or will that still require a custom kernel (unlocked bootloader).

Lastly is there a way to carrier unlock this via a application or something outside of paying $20 on the websites for a code?

Sorry for all the questions and greatly appreciate your feedback. I went with the C6506 for not only the price but also because it wills upport AT&T LTE bands here in the US.

Thanks!

[Sony Xperia ZL] bhavstech:
you cannot flash custom roms like cyanogenmod etc some stock based roms root and cwm is all what u can get,any rom which requires u to change kernel vl not work .There must be a way to unlock it unofficially on xda but according to me to me i dont think paying 20$ is some kind of worth (this is my opinion if u still want to do it then first make sure that it vl not be some sort of fake).
[Sony Xperia ZL] kcorkwr:
sony zl 6506 bootloader

Sony zl user.

I have the same model with bell. Unlocking carrier will be no less than the $20 you found. Also bootloader can be set to yes, but if you are not concerned with overclocking I wouldn't suggest worrying about the bootloader. Also once there will not be anyway to go to 4.4 until the official rom is released and then ftf decrypted...give it some time and u will be able to update with root still available.

Hi, i'm looking for a way to connect my Nokia 6230 to my Wizard so that the Wizard is recognized by the Nokia as headset. Does anyone know if this is possible?

I've been looking at the widcom/broadcom stack but i couldn't get it to work yet. Insufficient memory error.

Does anyone know if this is somehow possible?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] moghisi101:
I dont think this works. However I have done the reverse using my Laptop. I used my laptop to take calls and answer them, while my PDA is in the other room! w00t
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ricadelic:
And do you think it would be possible if we get the broadcom/widcom stack running on the Wizard?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] moghisi101:
No. I dont think that has the correct services/profiles. And is it possible to get the widcomm stack on the Wizard? Doesn't it already have the microsoft stack on it?

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] beckhams777:
how did u answer the calls on your lap top??? thats awesome wanna share? thank you!

my email address is forban@gmail.com
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] TomXP411:
To be a "headset" for another device, you need the "Audio Gateway" profile.

Most desktop adapters support this profile (the Widcom stack does), so your desktop or laptop PC can be a headset for your phone. I've used this as a speakerphone when we were doing something in a class. It's pretty slick.

The Wizard does NOT have the Audio Gateway profile, so it cannot be the speakers or mic for another device.

However, SOME of the Ipaq PDA's can do this. I've done it with a Bluetooth-Equipped Ipaq, so I know that, at least in theory, it IS possible.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] moghisi101:
TomXP411 thanks. You basically explained it for beckhams777...

PDAs that are not a phone themselves are usually the ones that have this profile. If you find a device that has this profile AND uses the Widcomm stack, I may be able to extract this profile and use it on other devices also. It also depends on what version of widcomm stack they use... But, it could well be possible now that I know some other devices can do it

Thanks

T-mobile MDA (USA version) and Bt

Ok, read all the posts, so there isn't a way to use my bt earbud with music on my MDA?

it worls great for phone, but MDA does NOT have audio gateway software

Al
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] deeperexistence:
When I pair with my Mac (OS X 10.4), the mac does discover bluetooth audio as a service on the wizard... however when i try to send sound, OS X states that it could not connect to the BT Audio device... So in theory it should be possible, if the service is discovered. We perhaps just need an app on the wizard that responds to the connection request...

I'm going to see about doing the GPS fix with some cardstock, but am wondering whether removing the back cover will void the warranty? I'm guessing not, but just checking.

Technically messing with the GPS antenna connections would void it, but that's pretty much impossible for them to tell, unless you RMA it with the mod still in place.

Regardless, my GPS sucks ass right now and I'm trying to see if this mod will fix it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickmv:
Nevermind. Just did it, it doesn't void warranty, and I lodged card stock below the GPS antenna connections. It appears that it's fixed my issues! But only a drive home for lunch will truly tell.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickmv:
1. There's no indicator tape that I can see. Just some standard white/off-white colored glue on the very bottom.

2. How on Earth could they check? It wouldn't make sense to put any indicator tape on the back cover, because in order to check that, they'd have to remove the back cover in the first place. So, let's say there was tape there that indicated tampering. Only way to tell would be to tamper with the tape in the first place (by removing the cover). So if you had tampered with it, they wouldn't know, because they'd have ripped/tampered with it in order to check anyways.

I think it's much more likely that there's water damage tape or some other tape in ANOTHER location, but not on the back cover. Because I sure didn't see any, and my 2nd point I think is a dead giveaway.

Info required mate

SilviuMik, I have I9192 s4 mini duos from India, i made custom rom using kitchen, every thing works fine i am able to install without any issue using cwm recovery, only issue is no base-band and network related things like bluetooth wifi display toggle working.. i have de-odex, zipalined all apks and added few mods.. every thing works perfect. only network not visible.also i tried to flash back the modem.img which i took backup before flashing my custom rom. still it dont show up. I have made my cwm backup so when restored all works back without any issue. so any thought or input to make network work on the custom rom i made. mine is knox boot loader 0x0 even after root and installed kernel which c0bain created one for I9192, and Philz touch recovery all works fine.

I am on I9192DDU1BML1 stock rom with all the boalt wares removed. any one looking for email app for your office exchange emails without pin to un lock the screen i have it. i have used the same methode which i did in my S2.

---------- Post added at 12:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------

Also one more thing SilviuMik do you have Android PIT file so that i will try to flash a rom without on Knox boot loader and then install the BML1 without boot loader as per one of the doc to remove it from stock rom .
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] SilviuMik:
Does your baseband get updated when u flash it with Odin ?

Take care usually u need to flash it 2 3 times :)

It also sometimes depends on what tz.mbn u used in combo with NON-HLOS

Try to extract modem from stock firmware and tar + md5 it and flash it 2 3 times with Odin. Then your wifi should work

Let me know how it goes

Also by any chance do you have pit file for I9192, so that i am plannning to remove my knox boot loader along with old firmware and then may be future glitches will be out to install all other cynogen or CM11 roms.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] SilviuMik:
Well i have posted one time about a pit file that i took from Efs professional when i saved my Efs but can`t seem to find my post.

I am also not sure if that pit file can be used with Odin :(

When i get home i will reupload it
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Android Development] SilviuMik:
Here is the pit i have, as i said earlier it is made using Efs professional NO IDEEA if it will work with Odin :)

And i think u can`t remove Knox bootloader this way

As i read u need a Z3x Box and some other things to remove Knox bootloader :)

[MENTION=4344511]SilviuMik[/MENTION]

I installed the ML4 rom and noticed the battery drain is related to how I set up the SIM cards.

If I enable both SIM cards, the mobile network signal shown under Setting>Battery is fine (continuously green)

However if I only enable SIM 1 but disable SIM 2, the cell standby consumption is high and the mobile network signal turns red

If I only insert SIM 1 and remove SIM 2 from the phone, the mobile network signal is green again

I found it the same with MK4 rom. Is this a normal behaviour? I have imagined that disabling one SIM card should lower the battery drain but it is not. Let me know if you have any ideas. Thank you.

Just a heads up of something I wasn't expecting:

I just bought this phone as I really needed a dual sim and I went straight for this ROM expecting to trigger the Knox, but apparently the Knox is still 0x0 :D

Corrupted messages with non-English Languages

Hey

Thanks a million for a awesome Rom esp getting rid of so many bloatware.

My problem is that when i add Farsi/Persian/ فارسی (they are all the same language) to the Samsung Keyboard and type my messages, before it is sent, the phone says your "message might be corrupted on the recipient device. Change input mode to automatic." and the message on that device turns to question marks.

I tried using Arabic but no luck.

What should i do? Please help me out. I dont want to get back to stock stock! You know what i mean.

Thanks friend.

Since i use English language i can`t test. But, as u said did u try to modify the sms sending to automatic ?

Message App - menu Button - Settings - Text Message SMS settings - Input Mode - Automatic

Or try with Unicode.

Thank you

First of all, let me thank Silviu for all his work so far! Really appreciate it.

I'm sad that you're stopping but I understand. Nevertheless, I would like to ask if you could help me out understanding how you make these changes so I could keep your work alive.

I used to do frankenstein roms for my old S2 but for some time that I stopped and I'm just not up to date with these last roms from samsung.

I know Kit Kat is not the best from Samsung official but I have it on my Note 3 and I would really want to have this last one on my I9192. But...I would like to have a package like the ones you make, pre-rooted, and with that multi CSC you took from I9195. I dont really care if I trip Knox or not.

If you could help me out I could help you maintaining this thread, all credits for you!!! Im guessing if I would like, probably theres more people that would also like it.

Thanks for all your work again!

All the best!

If my tests confirm here I think battery drain - if I only use 2G and perform reboot after charge. - is almost the same as I could with 4.2.2

So I'll just have to adapt to other browsers that have text reflow. Something I hate the Kit Kat.

Performance in kk admit it's a little better.

As for now I can not do downgrade 'll confirm about battery drain and then take root.

I need root to schedule reboots when needed and avoid drain /
