I'm getting a Fail message in Odin over and over. I've downloaded the .zip twice so I don't think it's an issue with a corrupt file... The .dll is in my Odin folder and everything. Pretty confused and today is my last day to send my phone back into T-Mobile before they charge me.

What version Bootloader/Modems do you have now on the phone? If the version you have now has Knox, then you can't downgrade to MDL.

If you are not sure, you can use this free app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en

If the version is MK2 or newer, you can't downgrade to MDL.

You can find newer firmwares either on the SamMobile.com site, or on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/firmwares-official-mdl-mk2-nb4-t2816508

I get this when i click start

i have a gt-1905 softbricked

please help me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rlichtefeld:
If you have a GT-1905 (which I can't find), you shouldn't be trying to flash FIRMWARE for a T-Mobile phone (SGH-M919). That will brick your phone.

If it is an S4, you should be able to take off the back and look under the battery for the model number.

You can flash ROMs, but not firmware between different S4 models. Try finding the FIRMWARE for your phone, and flash that. Also, verify your model, because GT-1905 isn't a Samsung model number.

You can find firmwares here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AziNoapte:
i messed up the writing cuz i was scared :D

I have 19505

I managed to get to 4.2.2 with konane`s guide,got the stock tar but wifi doesnt work on my S4

Can you help me fix it?

Or if it is impossible, can i upgrade to KitKat?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rlichtefeld:
Since this forum is for the T-Mobile variant of the S4, and I'm not familiar with the GT-I9505, I would suggest you try the forum for that model:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4

If you flashed a T-Mobile tar to your I9505, it is probably because of the radio/modem which was designed for the T-Mo model. There should be links in that forum about no WiFi, etc.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaimeZX:
Hello gang. Got a new circuit board installed two weeks ago. Got the phone back, started setting it up, and after about an hour the touchscreen quit working. >8\

I emailed the shop and they said "could be because you're rooted."

Smelled like bull**** to me, but giving them the benefit of the doubt I figured I'd try to flash back to stock. (Which I WAS actually stock, I had the 4.4.4 OTA update, and then rooted and de-bloated.)

Anyway, I downloaded the "Stock firmware" (SGH-M919-UVUAMDB-k0nane.tar.md5) from post 1 in the title thread and flashed it with Odin.

SEEMS to be working, but oddly enough I have a M919UVUFNH7 baseband and bootloader, but Android 4.4.2, which based on my reading, should be impossible?

Also, like several other posters, I have no wifi.

In any event, I am currently downloading the NH7 firmware from sammobile. Says 2 hours to go. O_o

Will try to flash that with Odin and we'll see what happens. Anyone have suggestions in the meantime?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaimeZX:
OK - follow-up. I downloaded M919UVUFNK2_M919TMBFNK2_M919UVUFNK2_HOME.tar and flashed it with Odin. Even though Odin said "Boot" and "Modem" in the flashing process, I still seem to have NH7 bootloaders and baseband.

Help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaimeZX:
Well, never mind. I don't care anymore. Tried to replace my glass and cracked the digitizer. Dunno if I'm down to drop another $120 on this thing now.

$300 purchase price

$100 circuit board replacement

$12 glass

Now $120 for a display? I might just call knock it off with this thing. :mad:

[Google Chromecast] Tib44:
Hello

How can I stream videos/TV shows from a WD My Cloud to my chromecast ?
[Google Chromecast] primetechv2:
Open the cloud drive on a desktop computer. Select the Shared folder you want to access... right click on it and then choose Map to Drive. This will give it a location on the laptop that anything that can access its file system can see.

Next, get a Plex account, download the Plex Media Server, and connect it to your account online (it is free with a few small limitations). Specifically, you will be asked to provide different folders for where your media is.... this is where you choose the drive that you mapped your WD cloud to.

From there, you can log in to Plex.tv and Cast your movies.

So to recap, they go from your Cloud drive to your laptop which is read by Plex and showed on their website despite being locally read by Plex Server from that hard drive letter which maps to that virtual drive, and then Plex servers get permission from Google servers to put up an https url on your Chromecast which is told by plex.tv to load a url from your local server which transcodes the file you want to see.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
All you need is any DLNA and CCast capable player app.

WD Cloud has a DLNA server built in.

Not sure what they are using these days but they used to run Twonky Server on their NAS units so you can start there.

But most DLNA servers on a NAS do not transcode due to lack of power so you might want to look into what [MENTION=3145503]primetechv2[/MENTION] said and have a PC run either Plex or BubbleuPnP server so you never have to worry if your files are CCast compatible.
[Google Chromecast] dpjohnston:
I have a WD My Book LIve and I use AVIA app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.videon.android.mediaplayer) to stream directly, using Nexus 10, to my chromecast without having to use PC. It can see all the folders on my drive that I have shared over my network.

Only other thing I had to do was upgrade Twonky software to newer version as version 5 that came on drive was out of date and wouldn't play .mp4 files. Instructions I got to do this was here

http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/foru...to-upgrade-to-twonky-7-version-my-book-live-o

I'm not sure exactly what software will be on your newer model drive but if you have Twonky 7 or other similar software this should work for you. Perhaps try the Avia app first and see if it works before changing anything on your drive.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Just going to point out that you need to purchase a new license for Twonky 7 to do the above mentioned upgrade from Twonky 5.

If your unit already comes with Twonky 7 then no need to upgrade is likely needed. But even if it is your OEM License should work.
[Google Chromecast] Tib44:
Ok so I hesitated between WD MyCloud and a synology NAS

I think it will be better if I use DS Video on a Synology beetween DLNA,

I already try DLNA (before I have a chromecast) with my usb port on my router and my TV and It didn't works great a lot of video didn't work so I think it will be the same if I use mycloud in DLNA

right ?
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
It really depends on what DLNA server you are running as they are not all equal.

The reason some files work and others don't is due to container (mp4, mkv, avi) and Codec (H.264, Cinepack, MPEG-4, MJPEG) incompatibilities of the player application or device.

You either need to manually re-encode the incompatible files to a format that is compatible with all your devices and players (Usualt H.264 with AAC Audio) or use a DLNA Server that can Transcode the video on the fly to a compatible format for your target device.

Twonky 7 does the latter when run on a proper computer but may not be available and disabled in a low processing power device such as the WD My Cloud drives.

Plex also does this but again it is probably not available for your unit since it ships with Twonky instead. And again you have the same issue with transcode is not supported on some units due to a lack of power to transcode....

My suggestion is to figure out what files you are having problems playing, and what seems to work well. Re-Encode the non working files to MP4/H.264/AAC (or MKV/H.264/AAC if you can play this container type) in Handbrake (computer required) so that all of your library is compatible without the need to transcode.

You will probably also save yourself some space on the drive in the process and all your files will pretty much play on any device.
[Google Chromecast] Tib44:
ok but I really don't want to have to re encode/ convert my incompotible videos. It takes time and I have to do it manually (I think)
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
I understand but you have to realize that the CCast doesn't play some containers or codecs and the only way to get them to work is to either run a server that does the transcoding when needed or to do it manually.
[Google Chromecast] Tib44:
ok so if I understand I have to buy a synology with for exemple a plex server to let it transcode my video automatically. I can't do this with a WD MyCloud

If I buy a MyCloud I will have to re encode my video manually if it doesn't works

that's it ?
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
You probably can't do it with a synology either....It depends on the power of the unit you buy...

Most NAS units do not have a processor capable of transcoding. Only the high end units do.

And plex will disable transcode on units that they feel are underpowered.

https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200375666-Stand-Alone-Server

https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/sections/200286217

Here is a spreadsheet that tells you what is supported by Plex on the various NAS units available.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...5-Ac4oOLPRtCkgUxU0jdj3tmMPc/htmlview?sle=true

But I'll tell you right now...The NAS units that do support transcode are all going to cost upwards of $1K US

So it really comes down to what do you think is worth to you?

Buying a unit that will do the work for you or doing the work once and be able to use those files on any NAS device you can afford?

There are Programs you can get that will do batch conversion for you as well.
[Google Chromecast] wileykat:
Anyone willing to try this... Plex running fine on MyCloud independent of PC / laptop

Hello twrp is new for me. For my older Galaxy's i allways used the cwm recovery. Which version i have to use for the N910F from Gernany? I will flash the Echoe Rom. Which file i have to flash? There are three files. For the cwm i allways flash the .zip file. Is it the same for twrp?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] utopiate:
I think both cwm and twrp are in .tar format so flash via odin.

Hey xda

I have a Xperia Z3 Black (1 Week old)

And i saw the LG G3 in a review and now im kinda interested in it.

What do you think ?

Should i switch ?

What are the Cons so far from your aspect ?

Im a poweuser im doing

-LOTS OF MANGA READING

-Lots of news reading

-Listen to a lot of music

-And i often like flashing new roms and mods :)

-Using it very often so battery is important too but if i can switch it i will buy 1 extra battery

whats not important

-camera

-waterproof (i dont need it)

thanks and regards your

Now we have BUMP, so very soon LG G3 will be a monster.

If i was you i will not ask that question, just do it.:D
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luca73n:
well my two last device was from sony the xperia z and the mighty z ultra so i don't have the z3 but i knew sony device.

well we can start fron the material a sony is much better

we can go on with stock interface and sony is a lot better

but for all the rest the g3 is a beast

now with the new rom/mod, i use Androidhd 1.6 the 2 major issue of the g3 are solved.

the issue are the battery drain, well is not a powersaver device but with it's fantastic 2k display it's impossible to do better, i'm not an intense user bur from i buy the g3 stock to now with the new 1.6 android hd rom the battery last for me the double and for me is enought to have a nearly 2 days device but this depend to many personal use.

the second issue was the microlag/refresh of the lg stock luncher, well i use apex now not stock but also in stock this issue is gone.

the camera is a good quality smartphone camera, fast as hell in focus and with the right photo app, i use lg xcam, it's a good everyday camera.

the display is fanatstic, when play 2k or 4k video give very rich detail and a great deepness, seems nearly a 3d, you see the different position of the subject as in real life.

the audio quality is good and with viper become very good.

i use the quickcircle case and for me is great idea, you can answer a call, read text message, shoot a photo without opening the case and do more.

i use also the g watch and for me i great duo.

i forget an other isssue that some people report, the signal reception, well for me is not an issue , yes if you look the signal bar it gos from minum to max very often but i haven't had no signal lost or lost call.

so in the end is the best smartphone in value for money and it has the better screen i ever see and when the developer will have the possibility to have some bump image this g3 will be a masterpiece foe a long time
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxracer89:
I'd keep z3. I havent yet tested one,but from what ive read:

Better battery

More ram (depending on version of g3).

Better performance

Basically its better and newer device. The big plus of g3 is its screen to size ratio. The biggest downsize for me is QHD. It ruins the experience. To summarize... We should swap!:D
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billy Madison:
Well, that's interesting because many bash G3 to the point that it is not up to par with XZ3. They say it is worse than Z3 in battery life and interactive performance.

I would suggest to fast forward browse topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2772242 and seek for Xperia Z3 people's comparisons. Than borrow or buy somewhere G3, flash latest ROM, compare with your Z3 and tell us which phone you'll keep and which you return.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rainbowsixpro1:
Thanks for the big answer :)

I hate using cases and i dont use one on my Z3 either if it breaks i dont have a problem because i have something called advanced warranty (doesnt matter what i do with it will be repaired for free and all that just for 5 € per month)

Screen to Size Ratio is something that i like about the G3

We should swap ? were are you from ?

:)

I heard the battery life from the G3 is now close to the one from Z2/Z3 ?

If it lasts a day its okay for me :)

How is the handling of the phone without a case ?

The problem with the Z3, its really SLIPPERY like with a cable connect it fell from my table after some minutes i didnt even notice it till it made big bump noise :D

thx for all the answers
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rainbowsixpro1:
I got the LG G3 32 GB Titan Grey now :D
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraven001:
I wold have kept the Z3 for the simple reason it's newer and it would technically get more support if you wished to keep it for longer.
