Finding the stock firmware won't be easy unless you try downloading from sammoble, but you could try Fenny's stock rooted 4.4.2 rom in development.

It's very smooth without the bloatware and it has unlimited tethering.

It works best with Philz recovery.

Just follow the directions and your good to go.

Don't forget to do a factory reset.

PIN lock screen does NOT work on Fenny's rom when you first boot/restart/power up the phone. So, if you are turning your phone on the lock screen will just be skipped over.

Thank you so much Serio22, I just want to make sure it is the correct one for my Tmobile GS4.

And also would you be so kind and attach the STEP BY STEP instructions for Odin ? I am really afraid of bricking my phone. I need guidance.

People say once you do it few times it becomes easy as pie. But like I wrote above I don't want to mess up my phone.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] emeres:
One last question and I won't bother again:

When it comes to those files " OFFICIAL TAR AND ORIGINAL TAR " do I just choose any one of them ?? I wanted to know the difference between them both. Instructions don't really specify which to choose. Or is it both ?

And also there is a suggestion to " Wipe the data in recovery " after the whole thing how do I do that ? Should I do that ?

Thank you again for your help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
You don't have to worry about that, just use the tar file I posted earlier

Edit: and for the wipe data, you reboot to recovery after you flashed the firmware and do a factory reset.. Yes you should, but not necessary if you don't have any issues..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] emeres:
Thank you so much again, you were more than helpful :laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] emeres:
Sorry one more thing:

In the instructions Auto Reboot is checked. I have watched a few videos with the F. Reset Time also checked, should I check both in Odin ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
I don't think any of them are necessary, but you can check both of them if you want.. I always have F.Reset checked and reboot disabled because I like to reboot on my own but that's just me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] emeres:
So I am back to stock it took me back to KitKat and now I am unrooted. I did not do the factory reset with Cyanogen so when I flashed the stock ROM I still had the cyanogen wallpaper. Some apps did not work so I did the factory reset and everything is flawless now.

Thank you for your help and the file you have provided. By the way was that the Jellybean of KitKat stock firmware ?

Yes, there are many deleted file recovery programs. Try this one: http://www.stellarinfo.com/digital-media-recovery.htm . It has worked on my micro SD, but I've never tried it on the One. Best of luck, and don't make any more photos, videos, or downloads. It may overwrite, or corrupt your images.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brandonn91:
I'm not sure if this is an Android thing, or the website's problem, but after updating a while back to KitKat, I can no longer properly view videos on a certain website (and others I think), that I know are not Flash. I believe they are MP4. The videos will display their thumbnail, and even play a few seconds sometimes, but then just pause and not be able to continue. If I click an alternate link for the video, my Nexus 7 says, "This video cannot be played" or something like that. I've tried the same videos in Chrome, and Boat, with similar results. What can I do to fix this? Did something change in KitKat that could have caused this?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irfdiddy:
I have anexus 5 that is stuch on the google logo or is stuck in a boot lopp than it gets frozen and when plugegd in the battery logo turns on. I can go into recovery (twrp), but everything on my phone ghas been erased so theres nothing to flash. I tried to use a Nexus 5 toolkit to stock flash but it always comes up with an error. When i try something on twrp it says unable to mount....and give like 5-6 different thinbgs that it cant mount to. Everytime i try to flaash a new bootloader or something from that toolkit the phone turns off and goes into the battery logo. When i use twrp and try to do anything the phone just restarts into recovery. Is there any way i could push factory images to the phone or something else.

BTW, i dont know mucgh in terms of doing stuff with adb and terminal and all that so please be simplistic with the answers. Thanks in advance,.

You're being too vague for us to help you. What commands did you enter at the terminal? Word for word what was the error message(s) you received? Did you try flashing the factory image using both the primary and backup bootloader?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Irfdiddy:
So i followed the guide in the link posted above. This:

fastboot flash bootloader C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/bootloader.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/radio.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash system C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/system.img

fastboot flash userdata C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/userdata.img

fastboot flash boot C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/boot.img

fastboot flash recovery C:/image-hammerhead-krt16m/recovery.img

fastboot erase cache

Now, i can flash the boot.img, the system.img, the radio, but it hangs up on some of the other ones and it says "erasing..." than i have to stop it casue it doesnt work. Also, when i go into recovery it shows a spinning android logo.

Edit: Ive gotten all the way to "fastboot flash system system.img", but it gets stuck on my phone and says "erasing..."

You're not letting it finish. That's why you're having problems. It can take a long time. It also wouldn't hurt to use the flash-all.bat script instead of flashing each individually.
[General Questions and Answers] Tazz.:
Sorry if this is the wrong section, I'm quite new, but I need help deciding between two phones

The OnePlus One and the HTC One M8

I'm currently a student going into college and won't be exchanging phones or changing phones for quite sometime probably around 4-5 years! I need a phone that can conform to my needs/future needs. Here is a little of what I will get for both phones.

I will be getting:

A protective case for both phones

Tempered Glass screen protectors for both phones

A 32GB/64GB micro SD card for the HTC ONE M8 ONLY!

Along with this, I am looking for a phone that can probably last me sometime. From hardware, to size, to material. Price will not be a factor in which I am choosing. If anyone can help me decide that'd be great

Oh also, I'll be doing a lot of things with storage, from downloading nearly 200-300+ songs to many photos and videos as well as apps. Camera is also a factor as I kinda like to take face forward camera shots as well as rear camera shots. Thanks again!
[General Questions and Answers] circuit1:
bro go for Nokia N95. HTC One M8 has just 4 mp camera while N95 have a better camera and the symbian which is apparently easy to use then android. Also it has a new and unique feature calle sliding the phone where u slide the phone to unlock/pick the call without need to press the power button. It have also buttons which usually we don't see in both of the phones so no oneplus one and no htc one m8.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] whatfalcon:
Hey, y'all. First time poster. Fairly long-time lurker

Just got my new Verizon M8. And I applied the weaksauce root to it. Root checker tells me I have root. I don't have S-OFF yet (because it's not working, but that's besides the point for now, but that might be related? I have no idea, yo)

I'm currently just trying to rename the HTC emojis font in the system folder using the Root Browser from ROM Toolbox, however, upon booting up the Root Browser, it asks me to download some utilities. When I say yes, a progress bar shows up, and then disappears. Any attempts to Remove/rename the offending font file result in nothing happening.

Is there anyway to verify that the root that I have actually gives me su permissions for the phone? I figured being able to mess around with system files would be part of that.

Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] adavit:
I'm pretty sure writing and removing from the system requires both s-off and a kernel that has the writing capability.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] whatfalcon:
Bah. Well, my attempts at running firewater to get S-OFF get me to Bottle 2 and then it just dumps me back at my command prompt with no errors and my phone turning off.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
It'll work. Try resetting the device multiple times and re downloading the firewater file from a different browser (internet explorer has reported more success than chrome or Firefox)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] whatfalcon:
Right on, I'll keep trying. More of the same so far, though...

It might have something to do with the fact that the phone started updating with an OTA update when I put it down to poop after I took it out of the box
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
It'll still work with the OTA :). Make sure adb is still getting root access. If the bottles are chugging you most likely are
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] whatfalcon:
Yeah. I haven't tried factory-resetting/safe mode with the thing before trying this. Would that help? :eek:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
Safe mode wouldn't. The binary needs root access and safe mode disables third party apps. Factory reset would most likely help if all else failed. There was a user in here who had two m8's, one worked right away and the second took four factory resets until it worked. Quirky, but just keep at it. It'll work eventually :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Masterjuggler:
Ever since I flashed a 4.4.2 rom from the 4.1.2 TPR rom, I haven't been able to write to the external sd card unless I'm using es file explorer (and even then some things just won't write).

I've tried adding the "<group gid="media_rw" />" permission, but my user apps still can't write. I've already been through a few roms (SOKP, Liquid Smooth, now C-RoM), and none of them have fixed it, so I can't imagine it's rom-related. Of course none of those are TW roms, but I don't think that would matter.

The only other thing I can think off right now that may help is when trying to download something from dolphin browser, I can't even get into the external sd card. When I clock on "sdcard1" in the download directory in dolphin, it says "Can't find file or directory. Please make sure your sd card is ready, and USB Mass Storage is turned off."

Otherwise, user apps for the most part can read but not write to the sd card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
After performing the fix, did you try rebooting?

Did you try an app from the Play Store to do the same thing in case you didn't do it exactly right?

Try a custom kernel that incorporates the fix on it?

Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII with M.O.A.R. v9.0, dkp kernel dated 3/20/2014 and TWRP v2.7.0.0.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Masterjuggler:
Rebooting- yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, ohhhh yes.

Play store app- yes.

Custom kernel- I didn't realize there were custom kernels designed for that. I used the CM11 kernel, Quantum kernel, deathly, KT747 (I seem to keep coming back to KT747, been using it for months, very feature-rich), and probably something in between those that I can't think of offhand. Everything i tried has been the latest release. Whether or not those kernels incorporate the fix, I have no idea.

I am actually onto the Resurrection Remix rom right now, after trying out Quantum rom. I've been going through these things like candy lol. Trying to find that "perfect" rom is a nightmare. I think I might be sticking with this for now, until I see something that catches my eye.

If you think it might work, I can try reformatting my card. It works fine on my computer and any non-4.4 rom, so I don't think that's it though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
KT747 has the fix, I believe, but possibly only for the TouchWiz 4.4.2 (ND8) kernel. Have you thought about trying official 4.4.2, BTW?

I, too, doubt if your SD needs reformatted. Is it still FAT32, or did you format it differently?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Masterjuggler:
I have not formatted my SD card. I'll leave that alone for now then.

I was under the impression that we are still only up to 4.3? Yeah, not sure what I was thinking. Well anyway, I like having all the features in the rom rather than have to install a crap load of different xposed modules and flash a series of mods, and hope they are all compatible with each other. If all else fails, I'll go to the official release, but I'll always be watching for a stable release of a rom. For now though, it doesn't look like I'll have to go stock.

Not like I care about knox, but I was hoping not to have to go down a one way path.

Might be a good thing anyway. I haven't been getting good signal in my area, so I might as well see what nd8 gets me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Masterjuggler:
Installed nd8 and wicked 6.5, set it up, and still couldn't write to the sd card. I'm going to try formatting it tomorrow and see where that gets me. Otherwise, I have absolutely no idea what could be the problem.

Just looking for some info that I Can't find doing searches.

My note 3 was thrown at a wall. The main impact was the upper right corner, near the front facing camera. The frame was bent and the front screen was shattered entirely. The screen did not even light up at all when turned on.

I've had the front screen / case replaced. The phone now looks as good as new but the following two things do not work:

- front camera (it works but its blurred. Repair guy said it was shattered)

- GPS (cannot get a lock at all, not even sure if its being detected or what)

I have a new front camera coming in the mail (less than $10), but where is the GPS? I know it's located around the impact area, but what are my options / what could it be? The repair shop said the board looks ok, but I only found out the GPS wasn't working when I was trying to use navigation on the way home.

Can I replace the GPS antenna? If so what is the part called as I cannot find it anywhere.

I am hoping that the repair shop didn't seat a ribbon cable or something but I know this is probably unlikely and that the GPS is broke. If this is the case, what can I do to fix it?

I went to the 4G (2GB Ram) version of the S3 and back whilst my Z1 was being replaced.

you forgot to mention one Massive crucial point,

the S3 felt like a Lag-Fest compared to the Z1 with it's S800 processor and Adreno 330 GPU.

Also much of the Screen issues can be resolved by calibrating the colour and white balance,

and theres no comparison between Quality of the Z1's 1080P panel with 441 PPI compared to a 720P panel with 306 PPI (with some Pixels noticeable)

Lag fest, true that. Only thing that I miss is the AMOLED display.

S3- Lags (stock ROM, AOSP ROM's are somewhat fast)

[Xperia Z1 General] awojtas:
The loudspeaker is quieter and the earpiece is harder to hear people on call.

However I prefer listening to music with the same headphones plugged into this vs S2 or S3. The Z1 has a warmer sound to the music and I think captures the very low bass just slightly better than the S3. This is without the enhancements turned on. I find the enhancements a bit over the top, like applying HDR to every photo, it doesn't suit everything.

So I enjoy music more - but the loudspeaker is quieter which is annoying for conference calls at work.

I've heard it explained as quieter due to the waterproofing, which is understandable.
[Xperia Z1 General] raginginferno:
You know I actually find the earpiece louder than most phones I used in the past. I thought it was quiet at first as well until I realized that I am holding up to my ear wrong. I find anyone that also used my phone kinda does the same thing. Most of the time the earpiece is usually in the middle of the bezel of the edge and the screen. But because the earpiece is the very top of the phone you have to remember to slide the phone down and make sure the speaker is right at the ear canal. I still do that sometimes but I find it very clear and loud once its position correctly.

Maybe its just me... :p
