It is possible to flash stuff with ft in flashmode in win8.1-64. (lights off)

fastboot mode is not so good I believe. (blue light)

PC companion still overflashed (no light) the E1 after messing with ft. I left the bootloader untouched = locked.

overall, I like ODIN & Galaxy better for flashing.

you do need ft ! after ONANDROID restore, you easily get into FC loop. PC 'companion' will let you down. Only FT in flashmode will soft-unbrick your E1 !

though ergonomics in ft is kinda messy. anyway.

General BACKUP hints on E1

conclusion : no nandroid on E1 ! very bad !

solution: we must manually use dd for read write partns !

since E1 does not have CWM or ASR for nandroid backupping, we use ONANDROID after towelroot.

no E1 patch file developed yet, so only SYS and USER partition backup poss.

its nice to have a NANDROID on E1. But its bad that it cannot be restored by NANDROID MANAGER, because that relies on CWM for restore, which is non existant on E1.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicenormalfiend:
Hi,

So I'm a bit of a noob with regards to roms and kernels and all that stuff and I've found myself with a bit of a problem.

I ordered a Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9500) from Korea and received it a few days ago. The phone worked fine but was Android 4.2.2. There was no updates available OTA or in Kies so I decided to try flash my own rom.

I went about doing this and discovered that CWM recovery was already on the phone...it must have been added by the supplier, however the CWM version was in Korean.

I downloaded a rom, the first one I found, called Ozcran Rom. It's Android 4.4.2. On my phone it's very unstable, it keeps rebooting and it cannot recognize my sim card but it kind of works. I've tried to change the rom to many other ones but they all either fail to install or if I can install them they load but get no further than the boot animation.

Because the CWM was in Korean and because I'm a fool I never made a backup of the original. I've since been able to update CWM to an english version and figured out how to make a backup of the (barely working) Ozcran rom but I'm not having any luck installing a rom that actually works.

I've tried loading roms with both CWM and Odin but usually Odin fails. Odin was able to update CWM recovery for me but it seems to fail everytime I try to install a rom.

I've attached a screenshot of the About screen (when it's working with Ozcran Rom). When the phone is in download mode (in korean) it says Product Name: SHV-E300L, Current Binary: Custom, System status: Custom.

Can someone please help with this?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trozzul:
can you tell us what odin says when it fails? give us a picture please, most odin fails are because of wrong firmware for wrong devices. also did you get your stock rom from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ ? most recommended place.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trozzul:
you say its a i9500 but you said its a SHV-E300L in download mode, try flashing one of those stock roms from sammobile might have to deal with Korean language for awhile unless Samsung Korean phones come with english. You are sure its a i9500? take out the battery and tell me the model number where the battery is supposed to go.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicenormalfiend:
I thought perhaps SHV-E300L was the model number of the i9500 in Korea.

Under the batter the model number says GT-i9500. Is the SHV-E300L supposed to be different from the i9500?

I'll try downloading firmware from sammobile for the SHV-E300L...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trozzul:
I'm not sure about that model number question. All I know is i9500 sounds international so maybe that says its international but runs on shv e300l firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicenormalfiend:
Ok, thanks for the lead. I'll give the SHV-E300L firmware a go

Hi all,

after an unwary flashing ROM on Samsung Galaxy SIII LTE with ODIN by my friend,

I don't know exactly how he did it, but now the Phone doesn't boot the OS blocking on the Boot Animation

and if I try to go in Recovery mode it doesn't go.

What I already tried:

Flashing a custom Samsung ROM with ODIN (nothing change)

Flashing a Recovery (nothing change)

Tried to go through Kies (Kies doesn't recognizes the device, blocking on "Connecting...")

The only way for do something is by Odin but how you can read up, the usual paths didn't work.

There is something else for solve this problem or it definitely bricked..??

It might be because you checked it at 99%. Going from 100 - 99% is usually quite fast. Could you post later results? Maybe around 40% or so?

I had already tried various apps Stickmount, the one that you suggested and others none worked with my OTG cables and USB pen drives or with my micro SD card and my USB drive reader. As stated before, I tried an old Huawei E160 USB HSDPA stick modem and it worked using the same OTG cables that I had tried before. I found an old multi card reader and that was recognised by Stickmount and Nexus Media Importer.

This means that it depends on the card reader used or the USB sticks. The USB pen drives that I was using were both 32 GB Kingston DT Micro drives.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
The G3 stock rom is cool. I like the additional features that you can get, but there is a CloudyG3 rom available.

My G2 has built in wireless Charging (verizon) where the G3 does not. Looks like they opted to go the Samsung route (AT&T removed the Qi circuit all together) and go with the Qi Compatible replacement backplates that are $40 extra.

I really can't see a reason to upgrade to anything else.

The G2 pushes my size limitations. If I was to go to a G3, I would opt for just a Note 4 coming out in October with the 64-bit SnapDragon 805 processor and QuadHD screen.

But personally, with Android L just right around the corner, I wouldn't buy anything without first checking out what is available. With Google releasing the dev edition of Android L, I would imagine manufactures would be updating pretty frequently.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patrick0nE:
G3 is not worth buying. The answer is simple, you have amaizing smartphone, with great specs ans you won't notice any change in performance. G3 in comparison to G2 has the same performance, because of this 2K screen. There isn't noticeable difference, between screen from G2 and G3, all on G2 is really sharp.
