[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
There were extensive syntax changes made in 4.4 and it can be challenging to keep track of the old vs new methods. Language.xml would have been for 4.2.2 then. So ignore the advice about language.xml then as the organization has been changed under 4.4.2.

Here are three things you can try.

First try resetting the keyboard language setting. Go the the settings menu

Settings menu > My device > Language and input

and click on the gear icon beside the Samsung keyboard and click reset settings. Now go back and see if you can select the keyboard language you desire.

If not, and it is a single language of interest to you, it will probably suffice on a 900F 4.4.2 ROM to change the default language setting. You can do that by editing /system/csc/customer.xml replacing instances of "en_GB" with the ISO code for your desired language. ISO country codes here. Note that you should use an underscore rather than hyphen and capitalize the country code to the right of the underscore. e.g. en_GB not en-gb.

<DefLanguage>en_GB</DefLanguage>

<DefLanguageNoSIM>en_GB</DefLanguageNoSIM>

If that doesn't work for you or if you want support for multiple languages, then under 4.4.2 then you would likely need to make distributed edits to multiple system apps e.g. settings.apk, systemUI.apk, framework-res.apk. There is a patch thread to do this for Motorola devices here. That won't help you directly but could serve as a template as to what is necessary if you are ambitious.

A more practical approach may be to consider migrating to a custom ROM where the multiple edits to enable multiple language support are already in place e.g. the S5 Phoenix ROM.

Thanks for the detailed suggestion, I did some more digging and found the fix. Apparently, if you are allowing any app to use the "accessibility" features (I'm using Tasker for example), the multi-language option on the Samsung keyboard will not work. Once I turned off the accessibility option for Tasker - the keyboard worked fine. Turned the Accessibility back on and the multi-language gone again.

Luckily, I don't need Tasker to sense any activity related to accessibility so I'm all good but this is probably a long-lasting bug since Galaxy S4 I think; looks like the phone does not like any other app to be able to use these accessibility permissions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Stigaon:
I had the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy S7. I read several threads that said go to Settings and Language and Input but nothing more than that. When ya in Language and Input, go to Virtual Keyboard and then add the languages you want there.

A happy Samsung convert

So any time I try to flash any ROM on odin, it fails. I've tried stock roms, everything fails. I've pulled an all night trying to figure out how to get this to work, prowling multiple sites and forums countless times. Can someone try to extend a hand? I'm willing to provide any information about the phone upon request.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] lilbeartmz:
I have this Sprint HTC M8, and i unlocked it (push "down" and lock button, it says "UNLOCKED"), which is good.

But I still cant use my Tmobile sim card on this cell. It has a little SIM card logo on top of the screen with a small "!"next to it, might means "Invalid card".

ps: I have this app called SIM UNLOCK HELPER, and when I click on it, it will says "Device Check Fail! This device is not a Sprint HTC One! Therefore, this program will not run." And i click on "back" button, it shows me "Instructions", and at the end of the screen, it says "Device : VERIFIED: Sprint HTC One"... and i clicked on "start" and "sim unlock", and it did freeze for few sec, yet still not working...

and it tells me to use *#*#4636#*#* to set up the GSM, which is the one for Tmobile, and I did, "Set preferred network type: GSM only". But still doesnt work...

Could anyone help me plz...

I'm getting confused between exe2 and exe4.

Which one should I use after partitioning 16gb sd card(Partition space=2GB)?
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] tu5h7r:
ext4 is the latest so use that ext2 is previous generation,,,,ext4 has many more features file allocations, journaling etc,,,,

I used minitool partition wizard to partition the sd card

since you are partitioning I figured you ll be using link2sd....so chose the memory space wisely...If you are going to move the game to this...the game data tends to increase eg,The Walking Dead
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] rust13:
Hey, thanks for replying. I'm gonna partition my 16gb sd card and I'm thinking of partitioning it through CWM recovery mode.

Will it be fine to allocate 2 gb of space using ext 4?
[Micromax Canvas Magnus A117] tu5h7r:
I strongly suggest not to use cwm recovery for partition(I have read that it corrupts the sd card)...do the partition on windows

i am not responsible for damaged devices though this may not happen:p warning Please make backup of system after installing recovery MTK tools for some odd reason due to lack of proper drivers wont detect ur phone:mad:

Hello to all BLU vivo iv users this thread is for gaining root access after updating your blu vivo iv to 4.4.2 usually it can't be rooted properly u can get root via recovery install method but root explorer and other root apps will not get proper su access but it won't work or will fail constantly to complete system operations meaning u can't edit system at all!!!:crying:

I made an insecure boot.img with more adb access seeing that it does not have much developer options in settings it still wont but this boot img will allow proper root.

first u must install Carliv recovery from here not my work this is for Gionee elife s5.5 but vivo iv is same device so it's safe tested myself :http://elifes55.blogspot.com/2014/07/guidegionee-elife-s55-cwmroot-required.html

use mobile uncle from market and update recovery choose recovery.img first item at top of the list the downloaded recovery img must be in base of internal storage do not place in any folders!!!

after that reboot to recovery vol up + power scroll with vol keys power to select scrool to install zip then scroll down to install from internal sdcard choose "bootimgADB.zip" wait for install to finish wipe dalvik and cache (ps when doing this it takes about a min or two idk why just dont panic and think your phone is stuck:p)

after that procedure continue to rooting using Vroot / root genius

Vroot: http://vrootdownload.org/

Root genius: http://www.shuame.com/en/root/

download root checker from market to check for root

please install supersu.zip after boot img flash in recovery then root over with root genuis
[Miscellaneous Android Development] James666PKR:
Thanks a lot for that information. There is not a lot of help aroudn for Vivo iv owners!!!

I have a problem before i reach 4.4.2, as the OTA update will not install correctly.

I have a rooted phone, with recovery installed.

I downloaded the OTA update, installed it, then it booted to recovery and gave the following errors:

CWM automade 10.07.20014 00:34:23

E:Invalid command argument

Finding update package...

E:unknown volume for path [/storage/sdcard0/adupsfota/update.zip]

E:Can’t mount /storage/sdcard0/adupsfota/update.zip

Installation aborted.

Any idea what this means? I tried unrooting my phone, and installing the OTA update again, but it gave the same error. I have emailed Blu, but i'm sure they will be unhelpful. I've tried googlin, and other people (with different devices) with similar errors from OTA updates say you cannot install the update.zip directly from recovery otherwise it gives:

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device" == "**********" || "ro.build.product" == "*************"

E:Error in /sdcard/downloaded_rom/***********.zip

...errors. Which from some peoples replies also gets their phone stuck on bootloop, so I don't want to try that.

Any ideas how to get this OTA kitkat update installed? Did yours update normally (with.without root/recovery)?

Thanks in advance
[Miscellaneous Android Development] taalibj01:
did u try choose zip from internal then update.zip but still try to get the update.zip for me

yes it would install with root but not custom recovery i kept my stock recovery cuz i knew blu would be releasing KITKAT btw amigo OS ruined KITKAT its like if it didn't update at all:(

hmm u have the answer at the start custom recovery may not install an official rom update though i may be wrong but if u can get the update.zip where it downloaded on your storage i can poke around and design it to flash via custom recovery

please in future do NOT!!!! install custom recovery before official update it gives probs

since u have the recovery there is an miui rom u can try to install from gionee elife s5.5 make sure u backup though its based on 4.2.2
[Miscellaneous Android Development] James666PKR:
thanks very much! I will upload the update.zip. I really only need kitkat for an app I am trying to use (which only works on 4.3 and newer) so the MIUI rom won't be of use to me.

If you could have a poke around and create a custom recovery that will boot it, that would be amazing, I will upload the update.zip now. I would forever be in your gratitude.

Also is there a way of removing custom recovery from the phone?

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

P.S. yes I also tried to install from zip using the custom recovery, but it said it couldn't mount /sdcard0 or /system or anything when I tried. I think the best option is for me to find a method of removing my custom recovery?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] James666PKR:
Th elink to the KitKat 4.4.2 update.zip is here: http://we.tl/FGgNDO2ts2

Thanks a bunch!

P.S. I've bricked my phone trying to mess around in CWM... hoping my nandroid backup restores properly!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] taalibj01:
so u finally bricked it just soft brick right ?

notice something strange it says it can't mount storage yet it backed up your rom it's probably just update script that needs tweaking:cowboy:

If anyone has any idea how I can unbrick my phone I would be all ears...

I have tried all combinations of buttons, but the screen just won't turn on. When I press power+volume up+volume down, the flash on the back, flashes once... but thats it... why is there no information about bricked vivo iv's or gionee elife s5.5's on the internet :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] taalibj01:
if the computer still detects it it can be saved so its not totally dead the update.zip wont install via sp tool there is a gionee firmware u can try but it might kill the phone with certain files will just have to uncheck them does sp tool detect ur phone? i backed up my 4.2.2 system.img i'll upload it and then u can try it on sp tool

hey could u upload the drivers u used for ur phone i installed almost every driver known to man kind and mtk tools still doesn't recognize the device
[Miscellaneous Android Development] James666PKR:
Just downloading now.

I was using the drivers that windows installs 'from the phone' when you plug it into windows. Those drivers worked fine... I then started messing around with downloaded drivers (probably all the same ones you have tried) and all of them just did the same thing or didn't work.

FYI, MTK Tools no longer detects my phone. It only detected it when it was booted (in CWM for me, I never tried it when it was actually working, in the OS). My phone only gets detected in 'device manager' and 'SP flashtool' sometimes.

I can upload all the drivers I tried downloading, but I think the more drivers you install, the more incompatibility there is... In the end I downloaded USBDeview and uninstalled all the 'phone' related drivers on my computer, then just used the drivers that automatically get installed when you plug your phone in.

I'm just researching how to flash this system.img file you have uploaded (thanks), using SP Tools. If you've done it before could you let me know how? I don't want to mess anything else up now.

Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] James666PKR:
I managed to install Gionee Elife s5.5 ROM using SP Flashtool easily, and my phone now works!! Well, sort of.

The screen keeps freezing, touch screen keeps now working (have to press sleep button, to refresh it).

I am hoping the OTA update will fix all these problems! Fingers crossed...

I really want to get the Blu Vivo iv firmware though, as there are loads of chinese characters on this phone, even with English language on.

If anyone could backup their phone using MTK tools, and upload the entire backup for me and everyone else that needs it, that would be great! Then anyone who bricks their phone could unbrick it by flashing the firmware useing SP Flashtool!
