Thank you for the reply.

I've searched the general forum, but I'm having trouble sifting through all the information.

Have you ever updated your firmware for a rooted phone?

I understand how to use Odin, but I need a tutorial.

I'll look again.

Anyone know if it is possible to swap the mapping of the home/back buttons? I use the back button more often than the home button and find the location of the home button easier to reach in general. I realize I can't change the actual hardware icon :) ... looking for a software fix.
[HTC One Max] joshm.1219:
You can try the "Xposed Additions" module that remaps hardware keys but not positive if it will work, never used it on this phone.
[HTC One Max] SwordOfWar:
There are some options that can help with this in the ViperMAX ROM:

1. In tweaks you can set custom mappings for short press, double press, long press and swipe action for the home hardware key. The same can be done for the back key (except for the swipe action, if I'm not mistaken).

2. You can enable PIE, which basically allows you to slide your finger from the side of the screen to pop-up customizable software buttons on the screen. I use this for the same reason you describe (to make my most common actions easily accessible with my right thumb). In-fact I use PIE to pop-up software buttons to do things like "back", "pull down notifications" and "home"...

If you take advantage of those tweaks, it is easily enough to suite your needs and more.
[HTC One Max] jerrycycle:
Yes, it possible software wise. I'll pm how to. File explorer needed with root access.

It can be done with Sence or Aosp, stock or custom ROMs. I edit this ever device I have to suit my needs. I like running full screen, no status bar nor navigation bar. One reason I like my Max. Full 5.9 viewing area.

Hi all,

I have a problem. I installed elementx 0.10 kernel on my m8 international an android revolution v5.0. The description of the kernel says that system write protection is removed. But it isnt. On pimp my rom and softkeyz app after the su prompt the phone reboots without changes. And on recovery after install it reboots too without pressing the reboot button. I think the write protection is still active . I tried to s off with firewatets method but it says it cannot be s off at the time. I would apprichiate if someone could help. Thx

You'll have to use a theme in combination with AOSP based ROMs:

You can also get the launcher from google play:

[Sprint LG G2] AdamBlue:
So, I've been using the LS980 on MetroPCS fine using Justin's ROM, then the CM11 T-Mobile made for this phone - for a while at that. A poster commented that will the Telinfo app, I could use any ROM. Trying, I never got a signal. If I did, it would last for a few hours.

I went back to stock and tried again - using the LS980 CM11 ROM for Sprint, I've been able to keep a connection the longest. Using the Telinfo app, I'll be on GSM Only, then it would go to 'E' or 'Emergency Calls Only', so then I switch to GSM Auto (PRL), and I'll be back to normal speeds. Usually once to twice a day I have to do this.

Any idea why? Did I somehow screw up the radio? As I said, I went back to stock and it picked up the Sprint network fine (though I couldn't use it with no Sprint service).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] THVRSDAY:
Hi xda, I hope your Friday is going well.

EDIT: My calling problem was not fixed. I reflashed 4.4.2 NB4 Modem (twice to make sure it stuck) and the calling still does not work. Did something just completely fry when I had CM11 on this thing? Any ideas anybody? I don't even hear a dial tone if I am the one dialing out, the call still goes through though.

Everything below was my original post which has been resolved, didn't want to start a new thread though.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TL;DR: My T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4 (SGH-M919) is unable to boot stock rom, and I am unable to enter recovery. I get seandroid messages trying to do either. Fortunately, the phone can enter download mode. What do I need to do or flash to get this phone booting again? Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and help out.

Below is the long story with details:

1. The phone was given to me running stock Android/TouchWiz. Unfortunately, I do not know what version but I assume it was whatever was the latest version as of late April.

2. I rooted the phone using Odin and CF Auto Root.

3. I created a backup of this newly rooted stock rom.

4. I flashed Cyanogenmod 11

5. After a while I discovered that I could answer calls but I could not hear nor be heard during the call.

6. I restored to the stock rom using the backup I made in step 3.

7. The calling issue continued, so I figured I would just unroot and go back to like-new factory settings. This way I could take the phone in to be repaired or whatever.

8. Following this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2336392, I attempted to flash k0nane's UVUAMDL Official Tar

9. Odin got stuck connecting to my device, I believe it was because I did not run Odin as admin. I pulled the battery and repeated this step while running Odin as admin.

10. The flash was successful, however during the phone's first boot it got stuck on the T-Mobile splash screen for about 30 minutes or so. I pulled the battery again.

11. Anytime I put the battery back in the phone, it will attempt to boot and hang at the T-Mobile screen, I believe this is a boot loop?

Looking online, people suggest going into recovery and wiping but I cannot enter recovery. I just get the seandroid not enforcing messages. I'm very hesitant to keep looking through the forums and trying things because I feel like I'm on the edge of bricking the phone if I haven't already.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
I don't think the flash was successful because it wouldn't give you those messages, and you would need to flash either 4.3 or 4.4.2 not 4.2.2 (MDL) Try flashing a newer firmware version.. If it was updated to the newest then I would try 4.4.2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] THVRSDAY:
Ok so I flashed the wrong rom then. I hate to ask but where could I find a 4.4.2 stock rom? I just found a rom I believe will work but the file is titled "M919UVUFNB4_M919TMBFNB4_TMB" not sure if this is 4.4.2 or newer?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Android_Monsters:
You download the stock 4.4.2 ROM from sammobile:

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] THVRSDAY:
This is where I obtained the rom above that I wasn't sure was the newest.

I flashed this rom and everything worked, thank you both.

Any ideas on what happened with the phone call issue? My friend that gave me the phone said it was working just fine when she had it, so I assume somehow the rooting or CM11 screwed something up? Weirdly, calling through WiFi works just fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
The only thing that can foul up your phone like that would be a bad cm flash or preflash, it's super important to read and read again, check the thread for support from members and resolutions to problems before you consider the build for your phone. Ask questions and double check everything before you take the plunge.

I assume that the calling problem is fixed, a corrupt modem may cause that and re flashing the modem will correct this.

Did you flash the NB4 firmware twice? Firmware, not modem

Well modem didn't work so try the firmware
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] THVRSDAY:
I flashed the NB4 tar from sammobile twice, calls still not working. I feel like I'm not flashing the correct thing or something.

Using the Android System Info app, every entry has something in it except for Radio. It just says "Radio: unknown". Does this have anything to do with anything?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
That is a problem.. How did you get this device?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] THVRSDAY:
My friend gave the phone to me. She got an S5 and didn't want to bother with selling this S4 so she just gave it to me. It was completely pure and stock, with calls working. Something screwed up during the CM11 flash I guess.

WiFi calls still work, everything works except calls.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I flashed the sammobile NB4 tar twice via PDA in Odin as usual. For the modem, I flashed the modem bin via Phone in Odin twice. Thank you for your help, by the way.

I flashed both Fenny's firmware and a baseband he also provided. Did both twice, and calls are still not working.

I was doing some research on this whole "Radio: Unknown" thing and I started seeing threads talking about flashes corrupting the phone's EFS partition. I never made a backup of mine, so I have nothing to restore to. Is it possible that I could use someone else's EFS backup and then use it to restore my phone's EFS partition? Does it work like that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
No it will not work, this is device specific afaik.. Like I said earlier, I recommend you call T-Mobile for a replacement
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Flashing modems and such with a custom rom installed often fails. Did you try doing a restore to full stock using Odin?

It sounds like the phoen has Android 4.4 on it already so you will need to flash the full 4.4 package (can't go back to 4.3 or 4.2)

Try and, boot hte phoen without modifying it, and see if calls work then.

The EFS thing is about the IMEI number. Does your device show an IMEI number in settings? If it does, your EFS isn't the problem. If it doesn't....well then yeah. Problem is pretty much narrowed down.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] THVRSDAY:
I have restored the phone to full stock and have been using it that way since I started this thread. Everything is just like fresh from the factory (except for the knox counter being tripped obviously). Calls still didn't work. An IMEI number still shows up the phone's settings. Using WiFi calling hasn't been that bad at all, but I'm screwed in the case of a real emergency with this thing.
