Imei null unknown base band sgs4 i9500 fixed during downgrade from lolipop to kitkat

Hellow friends

While down grading the sgs4 from lolipop to kitkat might bring some unwanted problems of soft bricking your phone. Not to worry if your network is gone test all working and IMEI is null and base band is unknown. Follow these steps and grey your imei back.

Please follow the steps strictly.

1) get philz touch recovery 6.12.8 for i9500 lolipop

2) flash recovery using odin under pda

3) do not let the phone to boot in your os and get into recovery mode

4) in that clear cache clear devlik cache and erase all user data to install new firmware option in philz.

5) install 4.2.2 version of south africa in download mode.

6) again dont let the phone to boot in os let innitial booting happen after the samsung logo is seen force stop by holding volume up home and power button immideatly to force phone into recovery mode

7) Again clear cache and erase all data.

8) now flash your phone with 4.4.2 kitkat of your country by forcing the phone to download mode as like in recovery mode.

9) Thia will make your phone official for your region and you week mostly recover from lolipop to kitkat via jelly bean of southafrica because you wont be allowed to get 4.4.2 directly in international sgs4.

10) Now the main thing if you have the problem of signal null then get the lolipop of your country from sammobile.

11) The file you will get from sammobile will be xxxxfilename.tar.md5

12) If you are pc user then click the downloaded file open with win rar. Extract to say some flfolder on desk top.

13) find modem.bin file from that

14) Put your phone on down load mode and flash the modem.bin file note that this you will have to flash in phone tab in odin not under pda.

15 ) let your phone reboot and Volla u are done your network is back and so is your imei. Along with Samsung official 4.4.2
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berrari:
Couple of questions:

I have already flashed 4.4.2 Malaysia version (build I9500XXUGNI1) from lollipop (Cyanogen 12.1) and now I am having no baseband version and no imei. should I follow these steps from the current 4.4.2? or should i go back to cyanogen 12.1 and then do this?

I have read updating the modem can fix the issue; Im not able to use GPS too. Any idea which modem works best for my current 4.4.2 in Malaysia?

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear S] bogdan_wrc:
After updating the watch to the latest ROM, i did a factory reset.

now, in Gear manager i cannot see the apps installed on Gear S (there were installed through automatically backup). In Seeting at MANAGE APPS and UNINSTALL APPS it says there are no apps installed. i want to delete an app from gear S...

and the double press option in gear Manager shows only 2 options. NONE and LATEST APPLICATIONS. no S voice..no nothing.

if i chose from gear S the S voice when i double press, it works only once..then it returns to the option NONE...

any help?
[Samsung Gear S] kieso:
If you did a factory reset then it wiped all of your apps
[Samsung Gear S] bogdan_wrc:
Yes, but after it restored automatically, now I have all applications on Gear S. I have them o watch but I do not see them in Gear Manager...
[Samsung Gear S] Killerheels:
So I think your problem is not finding apps appearing on Gear Manager. What you have to do is this (as I had the same issue):

Go to your 'phone:

Go to Settings - Applications and look for the app marked for the GearS. For example I had watch styler for both my Gear and Gear S. Both have apps and each is marked for their version. You can uninstall it from the phone there.

This will then allow you to uninstall the mini app on the Gear S..... via Gear manager. For some reason uninstalling on the phone allows the GearS app to show.

You can then reinstall afresh, or remove.

Basically there are two elements to an app. The main one (on the phone) and the mini extension on the Gear S driven from Gear Manager.
[Samsung Gear S] bogdan_wrc:
thank you but NO, in SETTINGS> APPS there are no GEAR S apps... only the one from my note 4..
[Samsung Gear S] xendula:
I may be stating the obvious, but is your Gear S connected to your phone via BT when you check? That's the only way to see the Gear S apps in Gear manager.
[Samsung Gear S] calinormy:
I'm not a native english speaker....so I try to explain:

Gear S is connected to note 4 by bluetooth, I can receive notification, incoming calls, weather, i can install app from gear manager to watch BUT i cannot swipe un from the clock screen to display the pages with apps, settings, etc.

The swipes are registed well by the watch( in media player I can swipe up de first page to display the list of songs..etc

So I cannot acces settings or other apps.

---------- Post added at 08:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

I cannot acces from the clock page the next page with settings and app list. It does not appear the page, the gear stays to the clock page. Everything else works fine

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

Yes it is connected by bluetooth. I posted a few moments ago maybe this time I succeded to be more clear about my problem...
[Samsung Gear S] bogdan_wrc:
of course i cannot see anything in GEAR MANAGER unless the S is connected.

and in SETTINGS manage app...nothing..empty.
[Samsung Gear S] Killerheels:
I would start again from the ground up.

Re download the firmware of your choice from sam mobile. I can recommend the GB firmware as I have used this to re-flash my Russian Gear S and it is working 100%. You have nothing to lose!

If this doesn't work, and there is another post today on this forum, on what I think is your problem, then return the unit to Samsung under the warranty.
[Samsung Gear S] illdill:
Another thing you could try is to 'reinstall' the apps through gear manager, then they would show up for uninstall.
[Samsung Gear S] bogdan_wrc:
so...the re install of the entire ROM, from scratch...and stop recovery of apps (this messed up the apps now)... seems to be the only solution.

i cannot see the app nor in MANAGE APPS nor in UNINSTALL APPS in Gear Manager. in GEAR MANAGER it seems there are NO apps installed on watch. .

in GEAR APPS Store the option is only MOVE TO GEAR MANAGER...
[Samsung Gear S] illdill:
So try 'move to gear manager' and then see if they are available for uninstall.
[Samsung Gear S] bogdan_wrc:
already tried that...nothing. still no one appears in manage or uninstall menu...
[Samsung Gear S] bogdan_wrc:
Also, i cannot use double press on GEAR to open S voice, only recent apps. i have only this option in gear manager. ...

anyone has the latest gear manager update ? 2.2.15022599

I like the Pocket IE home page with its search, history, favourites.

But i dont like the way it uses live.com for its search.

So you can make a quick regedit and now it uses google.

can you create this cab to fix the softkey calendar to switch to agenda

This is the problem with the latest LVSW
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] princeasi:
after applying the google hack, it seems there's a problem with more than one word searching! has anyone else experience this??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] senergy:
From the PIE home page multiple word searchs work fine but from WML they dont, it seems WML passes the info with html tags such as %20 for spaces. Not sure how to get around that besides not using WML
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] princeasi:
oh I see! thanx for the response!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jiyuu0:
how to change back to the original settings for WML?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] senergy:
I dont seem to have a copy of the original settings.

If someone can go into their phones registry and tell me what the value of

HKLM/Services/Windows Live/HSAppPlugins/SearchURL

Then i will make cab to restore the settings.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mkheraj:

Has anyone else been receiving this plague? I keep rolling back to custom 4.4.4 sense lollipop has been buggy. I flashed stock lollipop firmware and ran the RUU and was successful, but has had it's issues. Had "Sense TV" has stopped working unexpectedly and the VVM not updating and just closing, had everything working including storage, just to take a crap on me just doing a simple reboot. The couple times i had TV app working, i had internal storage showing more than DCIM and MEDIA, but it ends up crashing on reboots, or on fresh flashing with device wiped

Never mind. Found superwipe.zip, flashed it like 30X, and I deleted internal storage.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strategist99:
Hello All,

Lollipop is up and running on many (almost All) devices now.

But Kitkat has its own charm.

I for myself love the Kitkat notification drawers, the two side pulldown wnere you could customise and add widgets to the left pulldown also unlike Lollipop where only the right side , GENERALLY, holds the widgets..

Also I loves the Kitkat navibar icons and despise the geometric shapes of the Lollipop nav bar.

Those are just my personal opinions, I know everybody loves Lollipop.

I know there are ways to activate and get the Lollipop Navibar and also the Notification style on Kitkat, BUT IS THERE ANY OPTION TO GET IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND???

is there any option or a flashable file for me to enable the notification style of kitkat on lollipop, I mean the pulldown bars only not the complete notifiers..

I know that themes can edit the nav bars to my liking, but is there any file for just that.

Sorry for my impatience and ignorance, but I have searched and found nothing for the solution...

kindly let me know if there is something..

regards and greeting to the gr8 xda community..

[Moto 360] langchris:
Hi guys!

I'm new to XDA (at least as an active user) and this is my first post. As probably most of you I like my Moto 360 not only, but also because it just looks elegant. And so I thought I need an appropriate docking station for it (dock, holder, stand - call it whatever you like) So I made my first "prototype" today and this is what it looks like (pictures attatched).

Right now it is just a modern holder made out of leather, wood and some metal parts.

In the next step I want to include wireless charging (already ordered electronic parts) and see if I can charge my moto 360 on it. What do you guys think? I manly did it because there simply is no other holder than the one from Motorola on the market right now.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!
[Moto 360] Parker Iverson:
That looks great! What got you thinking to make your own holder?
[Moto 360] langchris:
Thank you!

Well I mean the one from Motorola is also not bad, I like it! But I think this holder matches better to my phone (and its wristband). Also I have a lot of free time recently so I wanted to do something :)
[Moto 360] Phamwich:
Pretty cool! I'd been thinking about doing something like that myself, also out of wood and/or leather, because I love both materials.

In any case, it would be really nice if the Moto 360 was completely compatible with all Qi chargers, so that it would be an easy job to gut an existing Qi charger and stuff it into your own enclosure. The only problem is, I've found that the Moto 360 doesn't charge very well using any of the other chargers I've tried. It appears that the stock Motorola dock has some type of overheat protection and can more or less continuously charge the Moto 360 to full. With all the other Qi chargers I've tried, the Moto 360 seems to overheat and stop charging until it cools down. The result is that the watch will tend to stop charging, then continue charging, then stop, then start, and it takes much longer to charge to full. Sometimes, the charging doesn't continue until you take the watch off the charger and let it cool for a bit, even though the watch may show the charging screen.

Your best bet for now is to gut a standard Motorola dock, unless a third-party has managed to make a decent replacement. Good luck!

EDIT: Might be worth checking out this thread to see what Qi chargers would be a good idea to harvest for parts for your project: http://xdaforums.com/moto-360/accessories/compatible-qi-chargers-t2874675
[Moto 360] langchris:
new charger

Look for "moto 360 charger" on etsy.com

What do you think of this?
[Moto 360] Phamwich:
The one in the zebrawood? Looks nice, but again, I'd be concerned about the actual charging components, unless they used parts from the Motorola dock.
[Moto 360] langchris:
Yes, the one with Zebra wood (I'm new here so they don't let me post external links yet).

I built this charger. I used a QI modul I found on the internet (not a finished product, just the electronic part) and a nice piece of wood from the wood store. As an adapter I first tried the one that comes with the original charger but that one seemed to be too weak so I used the one my Moto X came with. And I have to say it works pretty good. Since that I haven't had any issues yet. The watch charges in about 90 minutes from 0 to 100%. Yes, it does get warm, but not hot. And I think it also gets warm with the motorola charger.

If you have any other questions, let me know!

And thanks for the link to the other thread, I will post my charger there as well. :good:

[Other SmartWatches] natarau:
Hi!

The main thing I am looking for, is how to make a zip version of a ROM stop erasing everything from the previous version and only update it.

More details about why I need this, below:

I have a SMARTQ Z Watch and the latest official ROM v3.7 no longer has the remote camera function. It was deleted starting with version 3.2, so 3.1 must have been the last to have it.

If I install an older version, which has the remote camera function, it works, but updating to latest always wipes absolutely everything from the phone, including any apps and files installed manually.

Unfortunately, the remote camera function is not an apk that I can find in the system/app folder, so it must be somehow else build in the ROM. I have no idea how to locate it.

Any help to this request would be highly appreciated.

this is the latest 3.7 ROM http://d2.smartdevices.com.cn/files/...3.7/update.zip

this is one of the older versions, which has the remote camera function included http://d2.smartdevices.com.cn/files/...2.5/update.zip

A bit ashamed to post about something so trivial but awhile back someone posted up an o2 dial pad skin that worked with smartdial. It had larger offset ( angled in upper left corner) shaped dark blue buttons with some photo of what looked like a jellyfish above it, all dark blue themed.

I just flashed back to an older ROM and was going through installing some apps and I cant find the skin, disappeared. I searched the forums here forever trying to find the original post or a link, and the web but to no avail.

Anyone know what I’m talking about or where to get this skin? It was the cleanest and most usable for me.
