I have absolutely no 3g on my rooted flashed to Boost S4... If I Odin stock... (not that it would bring back 3g) would I lose the Boost flash?

Bought the phone off ebay Clean Esn but I swapped the main chip with my S4 chip that was already flashed to Boost as the new one was not... works fine other than no 3g and the new phone came with a sim card... and mine didn't have one... whether or not that factors...

!!!BE SURE THAT YOU DO SOMETHING AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

!!!FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTION FOR STEP BY STEP!!!

I want to say that Im not a real programmer, I found some way to flash CID LOCKED device and wrote only shell (with userfrendly interface) and collected some useful tools.

Special thanx to itsme for his tools (if i dont mistake...)

WARNING!!! IF YOU WILL SEE CMD WINDOW DON’T CLOSE IT!!!

WARNING!!! DON’T TOUCH YOUR PC OR DEVICE WHILE FLASHING!!!

With this tool and my instruction you could:

1) Get info about ROM

2) Extract only OS from whole nk.nbf

3) Flash this OS to your G3/G4 CID LOCKED Device (even wm6 rom or latest aku 3.3 rom).

In atachment there are:

1) ShellTool.doc - instruction. Read first and please, follow it step by step!!!

2) ShellTool.exe with some other files that it need

3) Cert_SPCS.cab/EnableRapi.cab - should be installed on your device

I tryed to flash diffrent rom to g4 CID LOCKED DEVICE and its were flashed on it and worked perfect. Have fun:)

_________________________________________________________________________________

If your device doen't boot after flash procedure with my shelltool you should

1) Hold "Camera" while short pressing the "reset" button. Your device will enter in bootloader mode. You will se 3 stripes.

2) You should connect your usb cable to your device and pc and run RUU and flash this rom. ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.co...known/Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii+CF2.rar

3) read my instruction once more and repeat all step by step. its very important!!

no itsutils errors...nothing wrong while flashing...:(

EDIT: Now works. Entered in bootloader...flashed back old rom...e tried again.

Probably my error was a notification that poped up while flashing :(

hi guys ftp link is not working anymore.where can I download shelltools?thanks for help

It works well.

What I understand is this thing flash the system rom part while runing the OS instead of putting the device in a flash mode.

Btw, I was used to work with a virutal machine (emulated XP becaause of Vista) and I wasn't able to flash correctly.

Each time, it wouldn't go to the end of the process.

Hello,

I'm kind of in a bad spot. I'm trying to find a 7 inch or 8 inch tablet with a steady 60HZ refresh rate and (this is very important), USB-OTG host capabilities. I took a chance on a Samsung SM-T290NU and found to my horror that it was unrootable and could not do USB host.

I'd like to get another small (7 or 8 inch) tablet like that, but only if it can do USB host (also the screen refresh rate thing).

1. Clear Data the "Google Play Store" - Not Work

2. Disable "Google Play Store" and when asking for restore to original version "Yes" , It's working for a while but when Google Play Store Automatic Update Itself , this problems happened again.

3. Download Latest Firmware from "SamMobile" for my Phone and my Regional , Using Odin to Restore

4. Using KingoRoot to Root Again my Phone.

Until today after do step 3, Seems everything works fine...maybe you can also try that..hope it helps..;)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepankarS:
If youre rooted.

-Open root browser.

-Open etc

-Search for the file hosts

-Open hosts and add a # in from of the ip address of JUST THE LOCAL HOSTS. I.e.

Instead of 12x.xxx.xx.x localhosts

Make it #12x.xxx.xx.x localhosts.

-Reboot :)

What do you think?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razvan:
Why you want to flash any other custom ROM if you don't need any features, only a good battery?

I really don't understand this.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaka88:
Because i think some of custom ROM has bettwr battery life than stock
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedromms86:
if you debloated and make knox-free, stock rom will have good battery life, better camera, and samsung framework features (things you lost in custom rom)

if you want to try a custom rom, i recommend you try Mokee (stable) with last Fak Kernel, mokee has an amazing saving power feature and is the more stable rom (in my opinion), with fak kernel with right settings and undervolt (see in fak thread, or pm me) you will get the best battery life, my goals are the same as yours (battery life), and i already try almost every rom here (right now iam trying LiquidSmooth, but i did not like it...will try next the S5 proyect, and wait for official 4.4.4 to test, but until now, mokee is my prefered rom

Dont know if last fak kernel is working with mokee, when a try it some time ago it give me FC, but i think last version works, cause iam using it with liquismooth right now, but even with the stock mokee kernel, it has amazing battery life.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaka88:
Wooow..

Thank you very much!

I will try mokee ROM and Fak Kernel..

Doea the ROM comes with its custom kernel?

I will root my device first before flashin custom ROM and Kernel..
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loulou-13:
:eek: LiquidSmooth ???

last v3.2 milestone , it's a full stable rom ...... and with a very good baterry life ! :p

why you don't like it ?!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedromms86:
I'am using last version, get some random reboots (i think its because of fak kernel and undervolt...) i miss some launcher options like mokee have (i know i can change launcher...) i found the rom a little confusing, the way the settings are in config options, and there are too much thinks i dont use and dont like like (side app bar, pie control...etc) .

The rom is good, its just my PERSONAL taste, i like it clean,iam a big fan of mokee, and stock rom, just go to a custom rom for 4.4.4 and better battery like i like i say, just waiting for official 4.4.4 - the quality of camera we loss in custom rom its a big point for me to go back when its released
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaka88:
I will stick with stock ROM first with custom kernel..

Do you mean f4ction kernel?

Because i cant fink fak kernel everywhere

Update question

Hi guys, first of all let me apologize up front for posting this question without knowing whether it has been answered billion times before. It's my first Samsung phone after having Motorola for a long time and the transition to the new apps and vocabulary is not that straightforward.

I've got an I-9190 running 4.2.2 from a carrier and they still haven't upgraded to 4.4. But when I entered to the website above, there's a 4.4.2 firmware for my country and my device. The upgrade seems rather easy, but I'm not sure whether it will run or not. I would really like to upgrade to 4.4.2 and I'm quite confident I'd be able to do it using Odin, but my question is if that firmware could run on my device. Any tips are welcome.

Thanks!

Hi,

I've been having data issues with my HTC ONE M8 on Straight Talk for the past couple of weeks. the data service for some reasons got really iffy. before everything was absolutely fine. now sometimes I cannot access data at all, sometimes something is working and something doesn't.

when the data doesn't work:

- most of websites are not reachable

- google.com seems to work normally

- google maps might work; sometimes very slow, sometimes not working at all

- ookla speedtest won't start, but if I set a fixed server it might work

- facebook.com might work in the browser but the app doesn't work

- refreshing the page seems to help

on WI-FI I have absolutely no problem. everything works fine.

phone and txt messages work without problems.

on 3G (HSDPA) everything seems to work fine. I see problems when on LTE.

anybody has the similar issues?? any suggestions?

many thank!!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexdemonumber3:
I am having the exact same issue! So frustrating, I don't want to use 3g if we should be on "Full speed 4G LTE for up to 3GB"!

tried so many different APN's, no luck :( can't get over 2.5mbps with any of them :(
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmkgenzo:
I would be happy with anything that works right now. the service is just NOT WORKING. I am paying for a service that doesn't work and that's not acceptable.

I opened a case with the help desk; useless. I was talking to people who don't understand the basic concepts of networking. made me add a proxy to the APN; no difference at all.

then I put a complain on Twitter and got some other people "helping" via email. at least they asked for the address of where I am always having problems; hopefully, they check out the service at the antenna. I think it's not a BTS (antenna) issue but something related to their proxy, firewall or network gateway since google.com works without problems!

I talked to a friend of mine who has StraightTalk as well and he said that he had the same issue last year!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SOEBOMB:
U can try this from what I know ur phone gets chooses the strongest signal tower example u are around 3G tower it has a 9/10 signal and the 4g tower is a 6/10 strength it goes with the 3g hope this helps in ur dial pad dial *#*#4636#*#* then Phone Information....Scroll down a little bit to Set preferred network type. I was able to lock in LTE only doing this and gave me the fastest signal on my device hope with works for u. If u can post ur original settings before u change to lte option only on this post so u can always revert to ur original setting good luck.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmkgenzo:
if I lock it to 3G it actually works well. I will try your suggested settings.

on another note I wonder if it's an issue with the phone radio implementation. my Nokia/Windows phone sees LTE very very slow but it doesn't stop working completely.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SOEBOMB:
Hmmm Idk but anything's worth a try what settings do u have it on already?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmkgenzo:
if I put it on GSM/WCDMA (so no LTE) data works fine in 3G.

and if I do a speed test in 3G it gets about 5Mbps in download vs 1, 2 or 3 Mbps when LTE works (ZERO otherwise)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushpilotwannabe:
The exact same thing started happening to me two or three weeks ago. More often than not, the LTE connection simply doesn't work, and when it does, it's excruciatingly slow (anywhere from 0.01 to 2.50 mpbs, and usually less than 1.00). Do you guys have AT&T or T-Mo sims? I'm starting to wonder if going to Cricket would solve the problem, but since I'm running an AT&T sim, I'm not sure if anything would change since it's on the same network.

Straight Talk support is worthless... they think a factory data reset will fix it, when it's clearly a network issue. I just told them to stop right there and started troubleshooting myself. That's a good tip about dialing *#*#4636#*#* and turning off LTE that way. It seems like that is where the issue lies - I'm having good luck with HSPA; it's slower than LTE should be, but at least it works. It'll do as a stopgap through the end of my billing cycle, at which point I can decide whether to go somewhere else or get by on HSPA until they fix whatever the problem is.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmkgenzo:
tried and on pure LTE it simply doesn't work. the only way is to set GSM/WCDMA and it goes at 3G speeds but at least it works.

the funny part is that Google.com always works, whatsapp works, googleplay works. so it seems a problem with throttling or filtering to me.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmkgenzo:
yes. completely incompetent. asked for a supervisor; no way to speak to one.

I have ST on AT&T.

a friend of mine with iPhone 6 down in Newport has no problems. he sent me screenshots of speed test at 15Mbps.

I really wonder if it's some radio firmware issue...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokun:
Ironically, I ran into something very like this too recently....I was on an at&t straighttalk sim...lte had been OK prior to me updating to 4.4.4. It was never spectacular, but it was, at least, lte speeds. After the update I noticed it had become really sketchy...just as described, pretty much; even when mine worked it was trash. 3g was much better and totally stable. I thought it might be the update, but long story short, it wasn't. I inserted a friend's sim from tmobile and got full lte with no issues.

Now, in my case, I had been using a shaved down microsim rather than a nano sim, so I thought, maybe that's the issue. I noticed when ordering the new one, the tmobile one actually said htc m8 compatible on the page(plus my friend's legit tmobile sim got good signal and lte so I thought that's a good basis for comparison). Got the new one, put my number on it, and voila! I'm getting on average 20mbps lte. And it's very consistent too. So now I'm on the tmobile straighttalk sim and everything is fine.

Anyways, it's only $7 with free overnight shipping, so that's something easy to try. This wouldn't be the first time a new sim fixed all sorts of weird data problems with straighttalk either. I've been on with them for several years now and this is probably my 4-5th sim I've had to get for various reasons.

So, anyways, your mileage may vary but that fixed it for me. Hope it helps. ;)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmkgenzo:
it seems ST on T-mobile is not having the same issues as ST on AT&T. the problem is that T-mobile coverage is not so good in my area.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmkgenzo:
I've done some more testing.

it is really weird that Google.com works flawless while any other site seems not to work.

activating "save data usage" in Chrome seems to help. however it doesn't solve the problem. sometimes pages needs to be reloaded a few times.

even when LTE works, the OOKLA speed test gives me 2Mbps in dowload and 5-6Mbps in upload. so no matter what, I am better off with 3G.

I found an interesting thread here on XDA. I am not rooted at the moment and can't try.

If you are rooted there is simple FIX, simple disable FD8 (Fast dormacy 8)

ro.ril.enable.r8fd=1

ro.ril.enable.pre_r8fd=1

Change both to =0 and issue will be fixed.

If your not rooted only fix is to keep HotSpot enabled than data connection wont break.

I tried the hotspot trick but it doesn't work for me
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushpilotwannabe:
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I just wanted to give a brief update. My LTE issues with Straight Talk went unresolved for about 6 weeks despite multiple conversations with customer service. I experienced this in Raleigh, NC, Greensboro, NC, and Virginia Beach, VA. Then for Thanksgiving, I went to New York City and New Jersey (the part just outside of Philly), where

all

data connections were unreliable. Yes, that means 2G, 3G, HSPA, and LTE were all spotty at best the entire time.

I ran out of patience after that, and since my billing cycle was ending on 12/4, I switched to Cricket when I got home. As soon as I popped in the Cricket sim card, everything started working flawlessly again. Cricket does limit you to 8 mbps down, but that's good enough for my purposes. The issue, if it's still going on, is with Straight Talk and not the phone.
