Support spanish language??
[Galaxy S 4 General] deepak179:
Thanks a lot AL_IRAQI.

I was on leaked Chinese ROM, falshed the four files of russian ROM through Odin and everything is working fine now. I have one question though if anybody can answer. In Chinese ROM when I installed an APP, i used to get options to allow selective permissions to a particular app. But in this russian ROM apps are installed the old way and I don't see the selective permission option popping up automatically. That was a good feature and is it possible to activate that feature in this ROM. I know there are some apps in the market which can do this but I am asking for some option present in the ROM itself.

Support spanish language?? ii´m from Mexico can install?
[Galaxy S 4 General] khantastic:
you can if you have i9500.

and there's Espanol in languages, so i think yes spanish is supported
[Galaxy S 4 General] mzag2121:
OK thanks i have I9500 then proceed to install great!
[Galaxy S 4 General] hafeezluqman:
Thanks

I updated my i9500 just now with only AP file. Its running good. But factory reset and erase internal memory is compulsory after update. Or else it will have issues.
[Galaxy S 4 General] khantastic:
good to know..

if 4 files are being used to flash, it will automatically do all the wipes (including internal memory).
[Galaxy S 4 General] HITMAN-CREED:
Sir I have a friend who has i9500, 16 gig , stock 4.4.2 kitkat

what should we do? flash 4 files? or which ones?

and should we tick re-partition? or not?

and is it possibile, that we lose IMEI??
[Galaxy S 4 General] khantastic:
its always good to back up imei and efs, but this is a clean stock update so you wont loose anything.

you should flash that single sammobile AP file, if you feel lags and other issues, we can always format then.

EDIT: no. DO NOT tick re partition.
[Galaxy S 4 General] HITMAN-CREED:
Thanks a lot for your reply sir,

can i ask so, what are the other 3 files then?

what do they do?

and we dont need pit file? yes?

and should i tick F.reset time?
[Galaxy S 4 General] khantastic:
if you have downloaded the zip file with 4 files in it, then use all 4 to flash, it will wipe internal memory (so make back up)

and no we don't need pit file. (assuming you have never used a pit file before either)

EDIT:

yes F.reset and auto reboot are TICK

Anyone know how to properly root this lollipop? Because I used twrp recovery to root my phone and I am having problems with Titanium Backup.. Someone please help!
[Galaxy S 4 General] rush2ashu:
Where are the 4 files

Hi All,

I have a official OS version on Samsung G4 i9500. I have downloaded the Zip file from Sam mobile site I9500XXUHOA7_I9500SERHOA7_SER.zip on my windows machine.

I have unzipped the file on windows using unzip extract software.

I see only two files : I9500XXUHOA7_I9500SERHOA7_I9500XXUHOA7_HOME.tar.md5 and SS_DL.dll.

How and where do I get the 4 files mentioned in the first page. Is my download file is corrupt? :crying::(

Can any one share a link similar to Google Drive link in the first page? I have not so good internet connection.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 General] khantastic:

i was on leaked chinese lollipop, so i tried to restore this update, couldn't do it because when system was restoring it showed me i have 19** free space and it needed some 24**mbs.

so i have tried to flash chinese leak (because thats the only rom i have to flash with odin) with 8gb pit... it didn't work. i still have same free space.

then i flashed just the pit file (risky thing to do) bit still no success.

so i am restoring back my chinese leak back up.

Thanks for sharing, I am on chinese rom crap too with all the 5 files (I know, I'm a newby), but all that AL_IRAQI says it's not clear for me, what does it mean those terms, and how you did it:

1.- How can I back up EFS?

2.- What is NJ1?

3.- What is Philz?

4.- What is NL1 and how can I flash it from Recovery?

5.- What do you mean by restore 5.0.1?

6.- How to flash Super SU?

Thanks for your support.

[Galaxy S 4 General] danielscouto:
Follow the instructions in the beginning of this topic, installing via Odin 4 files.

In my case, I thought I'd use this updating because I use the google services. (calendar, contacts, maps ...) linked to my Gmail account. Much more functional.

After all updated, internal 16Gb, 10Gb'm using.

ok.
[Galaxy S 4 General] khantastic:
just download the rom (either 4 files from first post or single file posted one or two pages back) and flash it with odin. forget rest of the things now.

philz is a custom recovery, TWRP is another custom recovery, look for it, flash it and then from that you can make efs back up.

you can back up imei using this tool

[Galaxy S 4 General] Walmer:
well,

I flashed the Lollipop given in Sammobile, Everything is Okey. But.....

1.-Some apps are not working good due to compatibility issue (Titanium Backup included).

2.- The MicroSD still unwritable, Lollipop does not fix this.

3.-Some issues removing system apps, the icon still in the phone after remove the app and for some reason the Play Store shows as it is Installed.

4.-I miss Xposed Framework ?.

My Opinion: Is a very good Android, smooth, fast a very good change in regarding notifications, but I will wait until the apps get compatibility and the Developers make some Mods to remove BloadWare and fix the microsd, etc etc.

By other way, I did a downgrade and all is good, I just wiped everything except my external MicroSD Then I restored with the Nandroid Backup that I made with TWRP before flash Lollipop. Now I have my OzcanROM v6.2 with lollipop modem.

Hope this details could help someone,

Serious Lollipop bug

Hi,

I am on official Russian lollipop. One annoying bug is when my ringtone volume goes to very minimum after every call, even when I set it to maximum volume. Anyone can help fix it ? ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] jagnik:
Just flash via odin, then do factory reset with stock recovery.. its done..

Don't panic.
[Galaxy S 4 General] JagiChan:
I did not understand your question? I installed the ROM and the default language is English :) All the menus etc are in English.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hafeezluqman:
First you flash the firmware downloaded from sammobile. Its the original and unedited lollipop. Install it and you will get your IMEI back. Then you have to backup the IMEI first and then you can go for custom roms.

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

Download one file rom from sammobile. Flash it with Odin. Its the best and original. But it takes 6 hours to download for free subscription users.
[Galaxy S 4 General] elspinat:
1. I have no problem with Titanium on the official or any cm12 ROMs. Have you updated SU binary?

2. Install and run SDFix from nextapp from play store. This sorts the SD writing. The same Kitkat fix works on Lollipop too.

3. If you get Titanium Backup working you can remove system apps and bloat. Or just freeze. Restoring them seems a bit of an issue, though.

4. Xposed would be great... I've been without it since December. There are some tweaks I really miss. However, I'm not holding my breath for a lollipop capable release anytime soon and won't let it stand in my way of enjoying Lollipop. :) I get that this is largely personal preference though.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hafeezluqman:
One file is the original and unedited firmware. Some users are getting problem after flashing 4 files. But i flashed my i9500 with single file firmware. Its working very fine and no problems. One file flashing is also good for downgrading.

---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

Battery backup and heating is same as kitkat. Nothing changed in lollipop update except the new UI and decoration. But it is recommended that you all update to lollipop. Because ART is the future and all apps are going the lollipop way.
[Galaxy S 4 General] adnano1234:
I did all ! Nothing changed:)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Rahul41:
If I manually update my GS4 with russian firmware will it void my warranty, and can I downgrade to the kitkat after updating to lollipop.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hafeezluqman:
Warranty will void and downgrading will change your phone IMEI to null. And also backup all data before flashing the firmware. And after updating to lollipop, do a factory data reset and erase internal memory. Out of 16gb, i got 7.5gb usable.
[Galaxy S 4 General] iSirCasm:
1) You have to root your phone again for Titanium Backup to work. (And if done, updating SU Binary might solve the problem)

2) It's not a problem of Lollipop. Root your phone. Install ES File Manager. Go to Tools - Root Explorer - Mount R/W and then select "RW" for "extSdCard"

3) Use any debloater tool to remove those apps. It's easy.

4) Hold your horses. We all miss the Xposed Framework. :( Hope they will soonmake it for ART runtime too.
[Galaxy S 4 General] adnano1234:
This is what i did from the first :)

Thank you hafeez. Is there any way to recover my phones warranty if I update it with russian firmware. I bought my phone just 3 months ago.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hafeezluqman:
No way. Because this update is for russian phones. Phone will show its made for Russia. Rest everything is in english language.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dheon5:
Just download the official rom from sammobile and flash via odin 'n' your warranty won't be voided.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hafeezluqman:
I voided my phone's warranty within 10 days of purchase. Bought it and updated it to 4.4.2 on first day and after 4 days, installed Cyanogenmod 11 and i found a bug ( Screen becoming grey after playing videos for 5 minutes ) in it. And then i am back to kitkat. And yesterday i installed lollipop and finally my phone is running and looking good than before. In i9500 case, its better to upgrade because its less heating and its showing battery more accurately.

I'm currently running:

Android Version: 4.2.2

Baseband Version: I9500ZNUCMH2

Kernel Version: 3.4.5-1176533

It's a Chinese phone, I'm currently living here.

Will flashing this ROM work on all I9500's regardless of region, modems? Should it impact 3G / Call quality etc? I'm reading conflicting info.

I know this is probably a stupid question.

Internal storage & SD card access

Hello Everybody.

I have purchased the Galaxy S4 i9500 just 4 months back. Since then i have been waiting for the lollipop update as i learnt from the internet that the update would fix the SD card issue and bring more space to internal storage which is only 8GB now.

But i am shocked to hear that the SD card access via third party apps like solid explorer is not fixed as assured by samsung though there is some performance improvement as stated by the members of this forum.

But no one is ready to talk about how much internal storage space is available after the update. I am left in the dark whether the internal storage has reduced further or increased or the same. Moreover no one is giving proper details as to any apps which are available which can give sd card access vide 3rd party apps at the same time without touching knox or some other crap and voiding warranty.

So my questions are :

1) Did lollipop bring extra internal storage space ?

2) Did lollipop reduce the issues faced with knox ?

3) Is it possible to use 3rd party file managers and 3rd party software like GPS to access the SD card fully without any issues

4) If point No.3 is not possible, is there any way to root the phone under lollipop, at the same time without triggering knox ?

5) What other useful beneficial things the lollipop introduced ?

6) How is the battery life when compared to kitkat ?

7) Is there any overheating or other hardware issues with lollipop

8) Finally is it worth to install it atleast after a couple of FW updates ?

I hope if anyone answers these questions in one post, it will answer the doubts and queries of many as far as lollipop is concerned.

Thanx a lot
[Galaxy S 4 General] hafeezluqman:
I think it will not work. Because China has TD-CDMA band and not WCDMA. Bands are also different.

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

1. After lollipop update, i did factory reset and formatted internal memory. I got 7.47gb free. Samsung bloatware is taking the space actually.

5. Nothing Beneficial, except new UI and decoration. ART is the future so upgrading is recommended.

6. Battery life is same as kitkat. But it is showing battery percentage more accurate now.

7. Almost same heat as kitkat, but only when gaming or video recording. While using whatsapp and browsing, it is warm. No hardware issues.

8. I recommend upgrading because new Touchwiz UI based on lollipop looks good. And another thing i noticed is its using RAM very well. So update to lollipop.
