Hello everyone,

I really need your help with my wife's Metro PCS Samsung GS4 M919N.

The thing is, we are now living outside the US so I had to unlock her phone. After ordering the unlock codes, I decided to root the phone and use a custom ROM while waiting for the codes.

That is why I found this guide here: androidforums.com/metropcs-galaxy-s4-all-things-root/790899-metropcs-galaxy-s4-all-things-root-guide.html

So while reading the guide, I aimed to have the following accomplished at the end:

Recovery: TWRP

Custom ROM: CyanogenMod 10.2.1

I then started doing the guide for the TWRP recovery by using Odin. I got the message saying that the flashing passed and went ahead to restart to recovery to install CM 10.2.1 as a custom ROM. The thing is that I keep on restarting to the stock recovery not TWRP. So I went to YouTube and found a video showing how to flash TWRP using GooManager. After following that guide, I went to restart to recovery and I successfully got into TWRP.

Now, to achieve my goal, all that's left to do is to flash CyanogenMod 10.2.1 (jfltetmo).

Before doing that, I decided to make a backup. After using TWRP to do a backup, I proceeded to installing the custom ROM + gapps (wiped with the default settings). Everything was working I think (I handed the phone to my wife so she was he one testing it). After some time, she decided she wants the stock ROM instead so I decided to download the androidforums.com/metropcs-galaxy-s4-all-things-root/783769-rom-recovery-flash-able-stock-m919nuvuamf2-rooted-deodexed-rom.html ROM.

I flashed the newly downloaded ROM + gapps (same file). This time, I couldn't get the gapps to work probably because it was meant for another version. So I decided to just restore from the backup I created earlier.

So, the usual stuff. Wipe. Restore. Restart.

Seems to be going smoothly because my wife was happy to see the old ROM she was used to.

Until the phone started to restart on it's own. (It's pretty much downhill from here on out).

At first I thought it was just a random thing that probably would never happen again. I was wrong as it became more frequent as days went by.

Recently I can't just restart the phone, I would have to remove the battery and then restart it. Now, it's getting really hard to restart the phone. Please help me fix this. I prefer to leave the phone rooted, but if the fix unroots the phone then so be it, anyway my wife prefers the stock ROM so only the unlocking was necessary.

Metro PCS Samsung Galaxy S4 M919N

Recovery:

TWRP 2.6.3.1

ROMs:

Stock Metro PCS

CyanogenMod 10.2.1

Let me know if you need more information from me. Hopefully I can restart the phone so I can give you some version numbers.

Thanks everyone!

I didn't read everything but just wanted to say

VERY GOOD THREAD!

this is how threads should be done. Very descriptive, organized, told us everything you did and asked for help! Good job man! Only negative is it prolly should have gone in Q&A section but irregardless very good thread!

About your issue, I recommend flashing stock Odin tar file to everything back to stock and reroot and start over. Flashing stock will not lock it again it will remain unlocked. But should get you back up and fresh. Just be aware it will erase all your data and all of the internal SD card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
I agree with Elesbb. If the goal is jus tto get back to stock, just do an odin flash of the stock ROM. Be advised if you flash the latest Kit Kay update you will nto be able to go back to Jelly Bean. From your post it seems like you are partial to Jelly Bean. So if that's what you want, but sure you use the stock 4.3 ROM. You can find it around here on XDA somewhere with a quick search to make sure you have the right one.

As Elesbb said, you won't loose the 'sim unlock'. But you will lose root. However you can root the stock ROM just fine.

You might also consider one of the myriad of TouchWiz based custom ROMs. They are look just like TouchWiz that your wife wants, but have a lot of optimizations and options in them. Those should flash just like any ROM. If you still get the reboot issue then do the Odin back to stock, reroot, then flash the custom TW roms.

Thread cleaned.

Rather than bashing a ROM or user let's keep on topic and help the OP resolved the problems he's having. Arguing over the virtues of a ROM doesn't help anyone.

Thank you,

Before posting this thread I sent the aforementioned guide's poster (arocker). He sent me a reply saying not to use gapps as the stock ROM for Metro PCS already comes with Google apps. I'll try his suggestion first and see if the phone still reboots a lot.

If the problem persists, I will try the solutions mentioned here. Thanks a lot!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dokgu:
After trying arocker's suggestion to not flash gapps, the phone still reboots. So now, I am going to try your solution guys.

But before I do, I want to make sure that I am on the correct paths/links.

Here's what I found for the following:

ODIN

xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/27-08-2013-odin-3-09-odin-1-85-versions-t2189539

I've had a couple of chances to use ODIN but only using specific functions like flashing a recovery file while the phone is in download mode. I don't however have any experience using ODIN to put the phone back to stock where the phone gets unrooted. Having the phone unrooted is fine by me as I only needed to have the phone unlocked.

Any step-by-step guides for using ODIN for this specific purpose guys? I don't want to mess this up again.

Thanks and sorry for the trouble.

Hello PanchoPlanet,

Thanks for the link. I went ahead and tried to unroot without Windows (Mobile Odin) as per the instructions on the link. I downloaded everything and went ahead to install the Mobile Odin APK. When I ran it to install the Flash Kernel, the app told me that the device is not supported.

To my understanding the guide is for M919 devices but should work for my wife's device as well (M919N - Metro PCS). I would like to try the guide for using Windows but I'm not really expecting for it to work or I might mess it up more. I'll try to search some more and provide the links where this forum will lead me to. But if you have any ideas, please let me know asap. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dokgu:
Ok, here's what I found:

It seems like the perfect thread for what I am trying to achieve. Will let you guys know if it is successful. But it will have to wait for tomorrow. Gonna catch some sleep.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dokgu:
Okay, I'm running out of options. I was able to flash the stock ROM using Odin 3.07. The recovery looks like it came back to the stock recovery as I no longer have TWRP installed. When I install Root Checker, I see that I am no longer rooted. That's good.

But my original problem is still here. The phone reboots a lot. The phone is so unstable that it is barely usable.

I am now going to try one more thing.

I have a Galaxy S4 (I337M) from Rogers Canada (my wife has Metro PCS M919N). Mine got rooted and has CyanogenMod 10.2.1 as a custom ROM. My phone is working perfectly while hers reboots a lot. I was thinking it was because of a faulty battery. So I am doing an experiment by swapping the batteries. So far no reboots have occurred, but I will continue to monitor this.

Any ideas why the battery is kinda messed up?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Android_Monsters:
This thread talks about battery stuff and reboots:

http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/530338/20131216/samsung-galaxy-s4-problems.htm

Batteries can go bad a lot of ways. Extreme temperature, factory defect, phone drops, moisture, etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
And 100% of the time, they eventually just get old.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
That's a wierd situation, by swapping batteries you basically performed a battery pull, which acts as a reset, that in it self may have cleared your issue.

Now if battery is bad that could be an unusual problem. Maybe just replacing the battery will be the end of your mystery.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dokgu:
The battery should be brand new as the phone was just recently purchased this April.

Anyways, so far no reboots have happened and any instability has not been shown at all. Everything looks ok, yet.

Anyone know if it is safe to swap batteries? Our phones have different S4 models. I'm not sure what the implications would be. Also what is this battery pull which acts as a reset? We've been pulling the battery a lot of times but the reboot still happens but not when we swapped batteries.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
The batteries are all the same. Don't worry about that.

Even if its a new battery if could have just been bad. A manufacturing defect perhaps.

Sent from your phone. You should be more careful where you leave that thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
This battery thing is wacky, anyway swapping batteries should not be a problem, it's just an energy storage container. Pulling the battery isn't like powering down the phone or resetting/rebooting ,sometimes devs request a battery pull to get the proper wipe effect that reboots can't provide.

You inadvertently solved your problem by accident. That's a good thing.

This exact same thing happened on my mother's 6-month old S3. If you're still wondering, you could try putting the old battery and running a CPU stress test app. It should increase the current draw and trigger a shutdown.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revilionz:
Firstly I rooted my S3 for the first time & flashed using TWRP to Galaxy S5 Mini Custom Rom. And then because the rom is too laggy for me, I decided to revert to the original stock rom. As I did not have a backup, I specifically went online to download the official stock rom 4.3 @ sammobile (right one). I flashed the official stock rom by download mode using ODIN IN MY PC. Everything went well, phone works perfectly for everything. But now the issue is, I am unable to go into TWRP recovery mode even though I have re-rooted my phone/installed recovery tools from playstore after I have flashed the official stock rom, I was wondering could the main reason be that I did not un-root my S3 first before flashing the official stock rom via ODIN. Could this be soft brick?

Thank you for your time.

Need to download ROM Manager from Play Store.

With this app you can go Recovery Mode.

I downloaded it and already set the custom recovery to TWRP (Recovery Tools) but it does not work as well

Hi, i'm looking to buy either a Tytn or an o2 XDA Trion......unfortunately they don't sell these here in Australia so i'm going to have to order it overseas......now just looking through the forum there seems to be plenty of minor problems with the HTC Tytn that people are having at the moment.......now for those who have the o2 XDA Trion, please post here any problems you are having as i want to know what would be the best choice for me to buy......right now i'm leaning towards the Trion because no one really has posted any problems with the device.....thanks
[General Topics] ozziede:
I have the Trion here in Germany and I don't get any problems that people are having with the Tytn or the Vodaphone or Tmobile one. Also I think the metallic look of the Trion looks much better than the Tytn. The only problem is that I'm not sure if you can find the Trion which is a English version. I thought the Trion is only availiable in Germany and hence the quertz keyboard. If the keyboard isn't the problem then I'm preety sure you can change the rom and there is a hack to make it work with the German Keyboard.
[General Topics] irv777:
hi, thanks for the reply......i like the look of the trion as well compared to the tytn.....there is actually an english rom available for the hermes in the xda-developers ftp site......also according to a shop there in Germany (MG&C) were 'm planning to buy my trion from, they can change the the OS to english before they ship the device to me.....so yeah english rom is definitely available......

Hi,

I have a Qware TB-9718D tablet (rebrand of ployer-momo11-speed) with RK3066 CPU and Android 4.04.

I've installed the CWM-ROM-Ployer_Momo11_3-0-8_M1_software_chinese-version_4-2-2_20130425-4-2& CWM ROM (Android 4.2.2) on the tablet and it boots just fine.

However, the touch screen does not seem to work anymore with this ROM.

I have tried two touch screen fixes (which were suggested on another site): one of which was the 907c_compatibility_1.2.0.zip

Both files did not solve the problem.

Does someone else have any suggestions on how to fix the touch screen with this ROM?

Could I for example extract the touch screen driver from the original ROM's lib folder and use it in this new ROM?

Thanks in advance.

[Other Tools & General Discussion] Bikonja:
Hi everyone,

as I was looking through a Catlog log, I found the need to see it colored for easier distinguishing between different kinds of logs and even filter out some of the types. Surprisingly, I couldn't find any tools using google that do that (only direct ADB logcats, which was inconvinient for me as I didn't have a cable at the time, but I imagine lots of people use Catlog to send logs to developers). I quickly threw up something to help me with that. As it was a really a sidenote in my task it expects a Catlog logcat and nothing different and will just be dumb when something different is presented. It's also very not optimized, but it still works quick enough. It's (at least not currently) a storage tool, you just paste the unfiltered, unformatted Catlog logcat into the box and press the button to get a formatted and filtered (if neccesary) logcat. You can also easily highlight the whole formatted and filtered logcat afterwards by using the link next to the button so you can copy and paste it easily to somewhere more useful if need be (I don't recommend Word though since it will run spell-checking and freak out at the number of errors :))

I don't know if anyone will find it useful, but I thought I'd share. If people find it useful, I'll continue to work on it, maybe add filters like by a word or where the log comes from or parse other types of logs, etc... In the meantime, here's what I got:

http://www.bikonja.com/LogcatViewer

It's purely Javascript (with jQuery) and CSS based so it's even easy to pick up the source and modify (I've conviniently put all the CSS and JS within the div with the id "content".

Let me know if anyone actually uses it and if you have any feature requests.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] HansonZhang:
Wonderful job! But still have bug to be fixed!

This is really convenient form ROM developers, thanks for you hard work! But after I post my logcat there(it's about 13033 lines), then I click the "Display new logcat" button, I found that not all the logs are displayed below. So I think may be you should also use a textarea tag to display the results that you have converted!
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Bikonja:
I am glad that you find it useful!

I have added an error log beneath the formatted/filtered logcat so you know exactly which rows (both by index and content) have not been parsed (since it was a FAST piece of work, I heavily rely on the CatLog syntax which does mean that even a tiny space in the wrong place could set off an error.

As I said previously, if people actually do find this tool useful, I will try to find time to implement whatever you need and of course, fix whatever bugs you encounter! So if you use this tool and have problems or suggestions, shoot ;)
[Other Tools & General Discussion] DroidShift79:
I like this one, but the website could not pharse some rows of my pasted logcat, why is that ?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Bikonja:
I'm glad you like it. The whole thing was just a whim I decided to act on and was done in a very short time so I cut a lot of corners, that's probably why some rows were not parsed. If you could send me the rows that couldn't be parsed I'll see why they weren't and fix it.

The parser is currently very specific about what it accepts since, as I said it was a very fast whim, but if people turn out to actually like, use and need this tool, I'm open to suggestions and I'll continue to improve it to the point at which everyone will be happy :)

So please, suggest away and let me know what exactly you need, I'll cover it as soon as I can!
