[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C.A.Mihai:
Going further

I tried to get Google services with a Google installer apk and it didn't work, so I decided to go for the solution you provided. I still have few more questions, because I am not entirely sure about the procedure:

First of all, I will use:

- Odin v_3.09

- The 2nd PIT attached to this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265477 -- this one: I9500_pit file.zip - [Click for QR Code] (1.0 KB, 16010 views)

- Russian firmware from sammobile [I9500XXUGNG3_I9500SERGNG3_I9500XXUGNF6_HOME.tar.md5] -- PDA: I9500XXUGNG3, CSC: I9500SERGNG3, MODEM: I9500XXUGNF6

I have all drivers properly installed and tested.

Second of all, this is what I figured out from reading on how to do it:

1. I add the PIT file

2. I check the Re-partition box

3. I add the firmware to AP

4. I look for Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time to be checked

5. I get my phone in download mode and after Odin recognizes it, I click start and say a prayer.

My questions for you, MAX 404:

1. Are the chosen files the right ones for my GT-I9500CN (PIT and Firmware), in order to be able to use the Google services?

2. Are these steps all I need to do, or am I missing something?

3. What's the worst can happen? (because it's my first time doing this I'm kinda scared, but I'm trying to gain confidence)

Thank you a lot!

Looks good , see this thread also for reference is for the S2 but still valid

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/mod-partition-internal-memory-app-t2538947

Also note point 6

Note 6: If you flash I9500 stock firmware for China region, it will flash sboot.bin with it, that leads to have a Chinese bootloader (download mode will be in Chinese language and boot splash name will change). Even if you flash other stock firmware, it will not change the bootloader. So flash "GT-I9500_sboot.tar" (attached) as pda in Odin and it will fix the issue.

You did flash a Chinese firmware? Is your download mode in Chinese? , one last question what is the size of your internal SD?

Regarding your questions

1 Yes

2 seem to be all there, always double check

3 Even if you have done it 1000 times is still scary….is normal , just read make sure everything is set and go , Should be fine but there is never 100% guarantee that nothing will happen , as long as you can get into download made there should be no problem.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C.A.Mihai:
Okay, I got everything ready and I am going for it.

About what you asked me:

1. You did flash a Chinese firmware? -> Yes I flashed a 4.4.2 Chinese stock firmware (I9500ZNUHNF1_I9500CHUHNF1_I9500ZNUHNF1_HOME.tar)

2. Is your download mode in Chinese? -> Yes, the download mode is in Chinese.

3. what is the size of your internal SD? -> I am not sure what do you mean by internal SD, but it is the 16GB version and the SD card is just 2GB.

I will get back here with the results to let you know how it went.

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
Hi

1 Ok

2 See note 6 on my last post

3 Go to Settings / More / storage / and tell me your available space and usded space.

Good luck
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C.A.Mihai:
Good morning,

Here is the the info about the space:

[IMG="Avaialbe space I9500"]http://www.secondinsights.com/space_I9500.png[/IMG]

From what I could understand, I can flash the "GT-I9500_sboot.tar" after I flash the PIT and Russian firmware, or it has to be done before that?

Right after I get an answer from you about the bootloader I'll start, because I can't figure out what else could go wrong.

Thanks a lot for your help and patience!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
Hi mate,

The NON CHINESE PIT gives you a Internal SD size of about 8.2 to 8.5 GB of memory , the CHINISE PIT give you about 11 GB ( used space + available space) , advantage more memory, disadvantage make it only compatible with chinese roms.....or r customs roms with that PIT

regarding this GT-I9500_sboot.tar for what i understand you are right.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C.A.Mihai:
It worked

Hello,

Again thanks for all the help. I eventually did it after the root method failed and it is working. My S4 bought from China runs now an Russian stock firmware. :)

[Xperia Z2 Accessories] BlacKca7:
indeed it does, you should order it and let us know, i would but i dont thrust new sites
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] thelastofmykind:
i would definitely buy it but there isn't any cut for the magnetic charger, don't feel like opening the flappy microSD and charger every time for charging.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Abby Oddie:
Slip your Sony Xperia Z2 into this custom fit Matte Back Black TPU Case by Diztronic and experience the peace of mind of knowing your investment is well protected. Flexible, yet stronger and more durable than silicone, TPU offers excellent shock absorption and abrasion resistance while maintaining a thin form factor.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] lddk23:
Just bought one

I just ordered a matte black Diztronic case from their website listed by the OP. I haven't even received my new-to-me-but-used Xperia yet, but I'm thinking ahead! I have the same type of Diztronic case on my Nexus 4 and it's been absolutely great for over 1.5 years use, and a handful of good drops. I do wish the cutout was there for the magnetic charger, but I still wanted to see what it was like, maybe even cut that section out by hand if the rest of the case makes it good enough to keep.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] lddk23:
Love it, but...

FWIW, after a few months, I love this Diztronic case...except I do dislike taking the phone out of the case to charge in my dock. It's not annoying enough for me to use something else, however, as this case is really perfect fitting, durable, not slippery, and looks nice if you like the matte finish. The other slim case I bought has a cutout for the charging dock, but still doesn't actually fit (with either spacer option). I'd have to 3D print a custom cradle spacer with additional clearance on one side, and that's not worth it. So, alas, I will probably continue to just take it out of the case every night. I will say that since battery life is so good on this phone, I pretty much never have to charge during the day, so never have to open the micro-usb cover, or take the case off to use the magnetic charger adapter (which I usually only use for traveling).

[Verizon LG G3] causey:
2.7 Experimental seems to work fine on my device. I have not delved into very much on the G3 yet. Used it extensively on the Note 3.

Thank you, keep up the good work

Thanks! I've been thinking about doing something like that. Wouldn't take too long. Might be a way to boost sales as well. I'll give it a go when I've got some free time.

How well are you on updating app icons for ones you don't have?

Some theme developers suck at it... sadly.

Did not know that. I'm working on a free version atm if that's any consolation.

Thanks! I collect all the requests and If a user only requests a few popular ones I usually have it updated in a day or two. Larger requests might take a week or two. I want to hit 1000 icons soon.

Great Icon set BTW :good:

Heimdall isn't seeing it. Android file transfer will open, but it'll tell me to restart my device. Odin won't detect it. Jodin won't detect it. I even borrowed a friend's PC to test it, and it didn't see it. What's the deal? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] muiriddin:
It used to be that a mac would not see a GS3 unless android debugging was on. However somewhere along the way that work around seemed to break as well. I don't typically use my old mac laptop anymore, however the last time I plugged my GS3 into it I could not get it to mount as a camera, or as a media device.

I did not test using adb and thus adb push, however that would probably work if you properly configured adb on the mac. I actually used bluetooth file transfer to move data from the mac to the phone the last time as a work around...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] trevonator126:
Dang. It wouldn't work on my friend's PC either though.

[Nexus 4 General] jayRokk:
Is this legit?

Found it after searching for CM11s (Since thats what i been running on my N5) and i came across this video of a Mako running CM11s.

Now the video is just a screen recording and the 'about phone says mako and everything check out but all that is easily changed with a quick build.prop edit.

anyway here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgxK25xhI2c

looks like everything is working.
[Nexus 4 General] StatusUnknown?:
It still is a cool find even if its not the real thing. I'm downloading it now.
[Nexus 4 General] ..::Viny::..:
Isnt it CM11s is specific edition built for One plus one phones, housing changes related to one plus one?
[Nexus 4 General] jayRokk:
I'm running CM11s on my N5. That's the beauty of android.
[Nexus 4 General] ..::Viny::..:
Ok, so what difference did you found between CM11 and CM11s :)
[Nexus 4 General] StatusUnknown?:
Just extracted it. It isn't the real cm11S. Its cm11 as a base plus some one plus one apps. Still cool though
[Nexus 4 General] jayRokk:
Thought so. I was skeptical since the person didn't showcase the lockscreen or any features that are unique to CM11s.
[Nexus 4 General] StatusUnknown?:
Lockscreen is there.
[Nexus 4 General] jayRokk:
Then it is the complete port :)

That lockscreen is unique to CM11s
[Nexus 4 General] StatusUnknown?:

Any recommended car mount ?

Instead of always removing the great quick circle ?

Thx guys
[G3 Accessories] Mrpeeng:
I have the official quick case from Korea and plan to use a Kenu Airframe+. I'm waiting for it to go on sale in Amazon (I think i can order them tomorrow).

http://www.kenu.com/products/airframe-plus
[G3 Accessories] StaticMoot:
This is what I'm using with my Quick Circle case and can say it works very well. Using the quick circle apps posted in the themes section on the forums for music controls. The official case adds no bulk to the phone. I do have a Rinke fusion case as well and I will say that any extra bulk on the phone makes it not fit well into the airframe. It will hold it, but you're at the limit of the spread on the airframe. Otherwise, a great mount and it doesn't slide or move on my air vents at all.
[G3 Accessories] boiteta:
Thx

It looks like that if u want to make sure that the phone will not slip while not removing the quick circle case you need to press it from the both sided ... Than it will press the case and will harm it , no?
[G3 Accessories] boiteta:
Anyone ?
[G3 Accessories] StaticMoot:
I have no issues removing the phone from the car mount with the case on it. Just have to push the phone a little bit in the direction that the clip opens (to the right if mounted with the "Kenu" logo facing up) and the phone comes right out without messing with the case.
[G3 Accessories] boiteta:
Can u send pics? Anyhow any additional ideas?

My nexus 4 was working fine like 1 year untill we cut off our mobile carrier ,

now , when we enabled the carrier back on (sorry for my bad English , I hope u'll understand me)

the nexus 4 seems to recognize the sim since it writes : EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY | MY CARRIER (012 MOBILE)

but i cant get it to work with the sim , the sim works perfect on my moms iphone so its not a problem with the sim .

the sim wasnt cut or anything . and it was working just fine for 1 year . I tried flashing google stock 4.4.4 with a toolkit ,

didnt work . Still getting the same EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY | MY CARRIER (012 MOBILE)

and when i tried to select my carrier manually ,

I got the cannot connect to this network . try again later massage .

I honestly tried everything I know of .

Im starting to think its a problem with the device and not the operating system .

since i flashed a brand new stock image and it didn't work !

:(:(:(:(

Recovery läuft mit der Version von TWRP 2.7.1.1

Zur Vorgeschichte - was habe ich getan:

Ich hatte Android Kitkat drauf und wollte eigentlich back to the roots äh... Stock ROM & Recovery.

Habe das ROM Stock_SixthSense-M4_5.11Base.zip mit der passesenden sense6_firmware.zip geflasht.

danach ging nix mehr und ich hatte nicht auch nichts mehr auf dem M4 (leere SD Card, kein OS, kein garnix)

Nun dann habe ich folgendes versucht:

per ADB sideload zu flashen (geht nicht: "device not found")

mittles RUU nen Stock ROM zu installieren (geht nicht: firmware Fehler)

Nun ist die Frage:

Welche "Firmware" brauche ich um zu nem funktionierenden Stock ROM zu kommen und wie krieg ich ohne sideload das Stock ROM dann aufs Handy?

Danke euch für einige Tipps die ich zur Reanimation probieren könnte!

[HTC One Mini] Miiischkaaa:
Ok here we go...

I'll try to translate my first posting and add some additional infos i got right now:

First of all - the reason I have tried to flash something on my M4 - an OTA apear :)

The OTA could not be installed through the installer, because S-OFF, TRWP recovery, Unlocked bootloader, rooted ROM...

I tried to flash the stock recovery... and pow... M4 stuck... :eek:

Nothing worked - i tried:

new installation of the previous ROM

sense6_firmware and the stock ROM with sense6

a RUU from AT&T

At least I do not have any ROM on my M4

First time I had some trouble with the sideload on TRWP 2.7.1.1. -> went back to TWRP 2.7.0.0. and it works

But after finished sideload copy progress no installation starts.

Some errors ocurr everytime I tried to flash via sideload:

E: unable to mount /system

E: unable to mount /cache

I think that I chrashed the partition table as I flashed the sense6 firmware - maybe...

But any way... I don't know what I could do next :(

Thanks for any further help or ideas!

Hello everyone.

I broke a display on my Xperia S some time ago. Yesterday, I got a new display with frame. So I changed it, and it's fine now, but my MIC is not working anymore. I connected everything accordingly, at least I think so. When I try to record sound, I can't hear voice, just rustling. I tried several times to disconnect and connect everything, but the problem persists. Everything else is working fine, as far as I tried it. ROM is stock Jelly Bean.

Any solutions?
