What about i9500 black edition????

Will samsung release lollipop for s4 9500 be in india??????????? Waiting from long period
[Galaxy S 4 General] pjuklas2:
Yss is normal. Because of this i did factory reset and it was wast of time.
[Galaxy S 4 General] RazorMC:
Would this firmware work with Mid-East 9505 (normal edition) ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] mimo2008:
Yes I had black edition on my i9505 only difference is wallpaper and ringtones

---------- Post added at 09:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 AM ----------

If it's LTE i9505 then should work.
[Galaxy S 4 General] khsh97:
I also did factory reset 3 times but they were still there. I used odin v3.07 to flash the firmware as odin v3.09 & 3.10.6 give me error and fail the flash. I was thinking that these apps are due to I use odin v3.07 and was going to flash the firmware again using v3.10.6 but Now I won't do it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Cors4ir:
Yeah, that "Flappy Droid" game is funny :D

Did you guys found it ? for those who don't, long press on the lollipop in android system version.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mimo2008:
Just a question but did you or anyone notice if the German leak had 2 planners and 3 phones? I only noticed this when I installed the black edition because if the German leak has then it could be a little bug that might get ironed out with the next update.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Vanojan:
Yes! I have the German leak still and there are 3 phone and 2 splanner apps!
[Galaxy S 4 General] pjuklas2:
I flashed with 3.09 dirty flash without wiping anything so i thought is leftovers. But apparently have to be like that.
[Galaxy S 4 General] leap_ahead:
I use v3.09 and all ok when i flash with odin
[Galaxy S 4 General] pjuklas2:
same here no problem once i get rid of it of kies. But we just talking about phone and s planner why so many and if it's normal or not.
[Galaxy S 4 General] huskyiulian:
Ok, i flashed the rom, everything works fine, but i think something its wrong, i have a different baseband ( old one i think ) , is this a problem ? and how do i change the baseband ? thank you . screenshot attached
[Galaxy S 4 General] Calaisz17:

[Galaxy S 4 General] huskyiulian:
EDIT: thanks man, its working , it seems my battery have been improved now, with the old bootloader i had like 4 hours remaining now i have 11 :D . thank you again
[Galaxy S 4 General] Vanojan:
Just factory reset it again and it will change automaticly!
[Galaxy S 4 General] droidcol:
Yes you can, I did it and it's fine.
[Galaxy S 4 General] celosantosrj:
Guys,

After root this new ROM, I used Titanium Backup to erase all crap Samsung´s apps. But I made a mistake.. I think that I erase SVoice. I can´t use voice commands on camera... Somebody has the SVoice apk to send me?
[Galaxy S 4 General] henklbr:
Stay ON TOPIC please...

Once again: keep discussions about this topic (firmware-update)...

Discussions about ROOT etc: start a new topic or discus in an existing one!

Tnaks!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bingley:
The OTA is out should anyone not want to be flashing this.

Battery life seems better for me. I'm getting worse mobile reception but otherwise everything else is good.

One question: should I remove some system apks debloating and there's an ota, if I unroot will the ota fail or will Kies work, and if nothing else, I assume Odin will restore my whole system partition flashing an update and I'll have to remove everything again? Some stuff doesn't disable.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Arkadietz:
Guys, how's your battery holding up? I believe it drains fast. For one midnight it takes 5-6 %.
[Galaxy S 4 General] khsh97:
In this firmware, Now we can copy obb files to Android/obb in phone storage directly from PC.

-------------------------------------------

Does this firmware have new boatloader?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Phone_Guru:
It's normal. If you look closer, you'll see that they are different things
[Galaxy S 4 General] radz_:
Anyone able to fix the write to sd?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bingley:
Solid Explorer can if you have root. MX Player appears to have a fix in the next update, otherwise, Google's security policy prevents it. Le sigh. Already waiting for 5.1...

Hello!

I've installed Black edition firmware on my i9505 (it was DBT - german version before). Everything works except 2 small issues. First, when I try to open Recommended apps in settings (tap on caption, not switch), I get Settings has stopped error message. If Recommended apps are turned on, when I plug headphones in, I get Recommended apps has stopped error message. Anyone else noticed this, or it's problem with my phone? Also, does anyone noticed that magnifier glass on recently used apps (placed instead of google button on KitKat) looks a bit oversized?

Best regards,

Davor
[Galaxy S 4 General] tommyukuk:
Someone posted this one that worked for the German version when i had it installed.. haven't tried it on the UK one tho as gone back to KK.. so i guess try it at your own risk.. just flash it through philz recovery or whatever..
[Galaxy S 4 General] radz_:
Thanks.. will check the zip file inside...
[Galaxy S 4 General] pjuklas2:
For me recommended apps works fine never crash. magnifier glass could be from some app. I would highely recomend to perform facory reset if haven't done yet
[Galaxy S 4 General] davor.f:
Thank you for your reply. I haven't done factory reset - I was trying to avoid it, because I have so many apps installed, and I'm not sure if there's an easy way of backing up application, and then restoring 'em after factory reset. Guess I'll have to do it anyway. Is it enough to do factory reset from Settings, or I should do it from Recovery menu?

Best regards,

Davor
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bingley:
Davor, back up apps & data via Helium or other app, then reset in recovery, wipe data & cache, then try again. Fresh is best.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pjuklas2:
As Bingley mentioned I would recommend Helium too. SMS/Call logs. Remember contacts!! sync with google or use other app just for contacts because Helium dosent have option for contact backup
[Galaxy S 4 General] davor.f:
[MENTION=3453224]Bingley[/MENTION], [MENTION=6503200]pjuklas2[/MENTION]

Thank you both for your help. I'll do as you said.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Bingley:
Also, tbh just run with the new start, open Google Play, re-install everything, re-setup everything, Spring clear out the useless.Contacts are synched with gmail, but whatsapp, sms, sd card, are not.

hello guys, im having a big problem... I tried to flash this new 5.0.1 on my phone with Odin, but every time hit the "start" buttom Fail. It says that there's no pit repartition. What i'm doing wrong?

I'm using 4.4.2 oficial firmware, and my phone fone is already rooted. What should i do, to make it right? Big thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S 4 General] pjuklas2:
Check USB drivers and uninstall Kies. Maybe try different USB cable or USB port.
[Galaxy S 4 General] khsh97:
sms and call logs can be back up using super backup app available in play store. I backup sms and call logs on kitkat and restored them on lollipop without any problem.

What is better black edition or normal ? What change except wallpapers. What better work
[Galaxy S 4 General] Calaisz17:
i took out my sd card deleted all the crap from previuos years formattted the internals flashed recovery rooted all before 1st boot. reinstalled every app fresh from the playstore no back ups. no sync app data just start new im trying to overload it now with open apps. its soo so so smooth. at first it was iffy but just let it all boot up and zoom zoom.

my modem didnt change i flashed twice and factory reset and no wifi checked and no modem so flashed seperatly and then reflashed ap again all good as well. first time using twrp coming from philz and cwm, geeez bit to get used to looks weird!

i think theres a way on s5 to mess with keygaurd.spk to get lockscreen widgets.

you can swipe in dialer and contact but you need to disable swipe to msg or call 1st.

ive downloaded a widget with a 4way reboot on it which is handy so far.
[Galaxy S 4 General] droidcol:
I didn't know I could disable the swipe to call or message to enable that! It just didn't occur to me, what a dumb, thanks man!

Yes silent mode is there.

I'm currently uploading new Rom with this base

I just realized I forgot to swap to stock kernel ?

NOOOOOOO

just put this single file in AP/PDA

I came from leaked german lollipop version

and in that leaked version all the files were flashed on the phone

so now from that german version to this uk version, i only flashed one file as only one file is available

and everything is working fine as supposed to be
[Galaxy S 4 General] mimo2008:
You said put the file in ap?
[Galaxy S 4 General] igor.brasildroid:
Someone can confirm how much space does it have in the Internal Storage??

That's the main reason that I downgrade to KitKat from Brazil, cause I had only around 8 to 9GB available using European ROMs, even with that previous German Lollipop!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] saqibniaz:
yes, you should put the file in AP
[Galaxy S 4 General] mimo2008:
OK I've put file in AP so I can get the green light?
[Galaxy S 4 General] pjuklas2:
Yeah i guess that's why so simple for u. I have stock NEE kitkat and just try use one file as there no more files.
[Galaxy S 4 General] saqibniaz:
then to be on safe side, first flash german leaked lollipop that has all the files

and then flash this single file firmware

this way it will surely work

How to know the adreno driver version in this rom
[Galaxy S 4 General] tommyukuk:
As weird as this sounds I had the exact same problem a month or so ago... One minute it was working fine.. flashed the older kk btu firmware.. then all of a sudden it wouldn't connect via any usb what so ever.

It would charge without a problem but connect it to any usb port on and PC or laptop windows 7, 8 or 10 and it would immediately fail with device not recognised or malfunctioned.. bought 5 new usb cable and 2 official Samsung cables and still nothing!

Reinstalled windows tried multiple versions of the usb drivers.. tried cleaning the usb port out with alcohol and a toothbrush.. tried a toothpick under the prong in the middle which worked worked for a moment but then went back to malfunctioned device.. was at at a loss as I couldn't even flash a custom recovery..

Then one day after getting really annoyed with it I threw it across the room.. plugged it in then it suddenly detected it.. started to install the driver from windows update then it's 80% worked ever since.. It always connects to the PC now but I have to flash stuff 2 or 3 times before it gets to 100%...

I'm sure it was something to do with the phone and the software and not the PC... I know it will be difficult but keep trying to flash something in download.. or just keep trying to connect it.. try drivers different usb ports.. powered ones.. non powered ones.. different cable combinations.. even something as small as pushing a toothpick under the little tongue in the usb port gently upwards and see if it's the connection.. that has worked for a lot of people.. you'll get it back some way!

Need Guidance

Hello All,

M on 9505 BTU I9505XXUGNG8 presently.

Device is rooted + Philz Recovery + Xposed Installed.

I am getting OTA for Android L sizing 999 MB.

Just want to confirm is it safe to use OTA as M running Xposed and Custom Recovery ?

Also on some websites they are guiding for re-partitioning even with this stock build ...

Is it necessary to re-partition to flash this ROM and I can proceed as normal with only F.Reset and Auto Reboot Checked ?

Thanx In Advance.... :)

PS: what is the meening of BTU in the product code?

[Galaxy S 4 General] cisone3:
Sir another question. may i know if there is any wifi issues on UK build roms? because the previous leeked lollipop from germany has a wifi issue?
[Galaxy S 4 General] NIK3SH:
If you're facing issues with wifi then its issue of older baseband (must be of ur last firmware) ...

Even I faced it too on first clean flash...

Try first factory reset device from settings GUI

And reflash firmware using odin...

By this my wifi issue got resolved as well baseband also upgraded...
[Galaxy S 4 General] radz_:
When you flash .tar in odin with this official rom...

0 issues.. this is from samsung.. so official released..

Bootloader and modem is comes with .tar files.. so it will be updated too
[Galaxy S 4 General] NIK3SH:
In my case,

On first flash it didn't upgraded bootloader/baseband due to which I also did face wifi issue.

Even cleaning data & cache partition didn't help.

So as a resolution I factory reset the device and again flash same ROM in which bootloader/baseband got upgraded and wifi issue got resolved.

I used I9505XXUHOB7_I9505BTUHOB4_BTU ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 General] leap_ahead:
I flash 1 time and all ok
