Well if you think your phone doesnt have warranty then feel free to do what you want with your Phone such as Rooting/flashing custom rom etc.. But Remember do it at your own risk . Always follow the Dev's tutorial on how to do it .Goodluck and Have a nice day. :)

Yet another question, I'm such a nooby haha. What is flashing a ROM?

Verstuurd van mijn GT-I9505
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Repulsa:
Flashing rom is an alternative name for the device firmware, basically means to load a different version of the Android OS.It is the process used to change/Modify/Tweaks Such as completely changing the user interface/auto root/providing additional features and such :) Feel free to visit this website . and Please use the search button or ask first before you do something with your Phone. So once again "Do it at your Own risk"
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demy.:
Can I unbrand my phone when I have rooted it, so I will get the newer android versions earlier? T-mobile is very late with the new android versions. If yes, is this done when rooting, or do I have to do this myself?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejakola:
Ok so to explain stock another way, you have stock firmware right now, stock refers to the original, is this case its the original firware,

If you flash a custom rom for your phone then that would be a custom firmware essentially.

Sometimes people refer to stock as "official firmware".

So when you root your phone you will still have the same firmware, and thus still have stock.

I have a sgh-i337, its almost the same as yours except for I cant update as frequently because my carrier is mean.

Check out this page, hopefully it wont still be blank, I just made it last night.http://xdaforums.com/wiki/samsung

Just look at the bottom one, I have the at&t version, you have the international version.

Chainfires way is definitely the way, I mean he made superuserSU.

I would still rather use kingo, because I dont have to do any thing, just install the drivers and king on my computer.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demy.:
What is the point in rooting my phone, when I keep the same stock?

My phone is T-mobile branded, the update for Android 4.3 came like 2 months later than other carriers. That why I want to unbrand my phone.

The point is that you gain full rights of what you own, imagine you bought a new car but they locked the hood for you so you can not check

your oil and fill windscreen wiper fluid and so that pretty stupid ? :)

I have the same MKF too believe my phone was imported from france by swedish reseller anyway there is a special saferoot for the s4 that works like a charm, and the EU laws says that if you root your device does not void warranty it is up to the manufacturer to prove that your "rooting" has caused the issues and lets say your battery fails happens sometimes... then they can't just come and say hey you rooted your device your out of warranty if the service center tell you that then just call samsung ;)

This guide i followed:

And i have de-bloated my phone a lot runs smother and less garbage in it :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demy.:
That was a good comparison! That video looked really easy, thank you!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when I have rooted my phone I can flash(?) a custom rom, like Cyanogenmod 11, to my phone?

I want to do a factory reset, so my phone is clean when rooted. Do I have to do this myself or is this happening when rooted?

Demy.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejakola:
neither.

if you do a true factory reset then you WILL lose root.

i think i know what your wanting to do, when you go to flash a custom rom, your supposed to wipe the phone,

a factory wipe using safestrap bootloader, wipes everything on the phone except media, pictures etc.

if you want i can get you all set up with what you need to root and flash.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demy.:
I would really appreciate it if you're willing to do that!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejakola:
so you know where to get saferoot from. download all that and should be pretty simple.

if it doesnt work, just google kingo and try that. way...

next this one has got to be the most important out of all of them, DOWNLOAD TITANIUM BACKUP from google play. i would recomend the pro version.

open it and grant it SU access, it will tell you to enable 'install from unknown sources' and 'enable usb debuging' if you have not already done so.

hit your menu button, and then select preferences, then change the backup folder location to your external sd card (/storage/extSdCard)

now in the main screen of TB hit the checkmark in the top right corner, for the first time find 'backup all user apps + system data' and hit RUN, it will take a while, then do the same thing except for this time run "create 'update.zip' from app+data backups"

make sure its on your external sd card and that you can find it... I would also recommend FREQUENTLY putting the copies of both the TB backup and the .ZIP file on your computer... just in case...

now we can start having some fun.

download safestrap: custom recovery for locked devices.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2448925

follow the instructions and flash SS.

IF YOU HAVE AT&T I337 YOU MUST DO THIS STEP!!!

now i337 users (not you demy) you have a locked bootloader so you must use loki. or check this out...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2291956

again this is only for i337 users, and also i337 users as stated in the above thread, dont even try any other custom recovery, they wont work with our locked bootloaders.

next go into the safestrap app and click 'reboot to recovery' and in the top left corner hit that button, not sure exactly what it says off the top of my head but... then hit rom one and hit create. note that the only thing that you should flash is the update.zip file you created in TB else you run the risk of soft bricking like i did two days ago.

so go find your rom and make sure it is supposed to work with your phone and also with SafeStrap. follow any extra instructions on how to flash the rom that are given in the thread, and you should be good to go there.

last, download TB if its missing, and restore your missing apps ONLY .... this applies to in a rom.

if you just went back to stock and have a wiped phone what i do is restore missing apps and data and system apps too.

any questions about this just let me know. or if you brick it and get stuck in a bootloop or something stupid like i did the other day while attempting to flash ShoStock, lol let me know gs4 users, BUT REMEMBER YOU DID IT AND ITS NOT MY FAULT

if you arent a gs4 user, i may be able to help you just not as quickly most likely.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demy.:
Hello Jeremy!

Thanks again for your reply, but you went a little quick there.

First, ofcourse, I need to root my S4, I think I'm going to do that the way Hagis2k showed me. But first I would like to clean my phone, as if I have a new phone. I have lot of photo's/video's/junk on my phone which I don't want to remove manually, I'd like to reset the whole system and go back to factory settings. This is possible, right? I will back-up the things I have to keep, and then I will reset it.

Demy.

Edit : I just read it again, is the reboot to recovery, which safestrap does, the factory reset?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demy.:
Alright, so now I've managed to root my phone. Got the SU app, and verified the root. What's the next step?

I don't know if it's related or not but when you have "touch sounds" enabled the volume of the touch sound differs greatly occasionally. Sometimes it's like half the normal volume. It's very inconsistent too. These things might be related.

I thought my volume got small after update but......

hi guys

6802.i updated to kitkat yesterday.acually i bought my Ultra yesterday and i dont remember of the sound of 4.3

but one think i saw right now the main speaker ( that bigger in down of the phone) is working fine... but the up speaker is now working at all, but i installed an app called (ePSXe 1.9.17 for Play station one games) in works fine but the sound is up side down, sound is coming from phone(that speaker up of the screen when you talking...above the SONY)

is there any way to do.to those speakers work together?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
That's no speaker :p Well, it's a speaker, but it's the internal speaker (for calls), while the one on the bottom is an external speaker for music etc. The Ultra doesn't have stereo speakers, but it's an easy mistake to make when you look at it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rezadentevil:
Thanx. But why with that app internal speaker working not external?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I don't even know what app that is :p

For me the speaker volume decrease from loud to low. Now I can't hear a thing
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamzakc:
Factory Reset

The same thing happened to me. I bought the phone a few weeks ago and set it up, then connected it to my laptop to update it to KitKat. I choose not to do a factory reset for the upgrade.

However when the upgrade was complete I could not hear anything from the speaker, it was very low. I messed about with the x loud settings. In the end the thing that fixed it was a factory reset.

Hamza
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] KeikiNYC011:
For myself I didn't go ahead and reset it to factory but going into the sounds settings and notice the settings that I setup myself was factory reset and xloud was disable. Once fixing my sound settings and enable xloud the quality of sound coming from the speaker was better than before but still the quality for a bit lower when it was on 4.3 Jelly Bean.

Coming to the forums and reading how many of Xperia Z Ultra users have a speaker issue, makes me believe that some of us may have some bad internal speakers. But some of us may have software related issues

Sniper is not just a BlueTooth manager.

With it you can

1. Send/receive messages and have an inbox

2. Allows the use of preprepared msg templates and you can create your own new ones at the touch of a button.

3. Send/receive files (to your storage card if you wish) and specify default folders for different incoming file types

4. Store often used addresses in address book with friendly names

5. Scan for all devices in Range

6. Sniper, will on request, BlueJack all devices in range with a file or msg until you tell it to stop.

7. Talk to any other BlueTooth device, doesn't have to be windows mobile.

This is just a sample of what it does and it's less than a fiver :)

So, what is the better freeware alternative???

In the past if you rooted your phone you broke the secure element. If you were a Google Wallet user the app might have worked but you received a warning message.
