[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexjustdoit:
Hello all, flashed v28 of Omega rom (4.4.2) way back to my t-mobile galaxy s4 (sgh-m919? Device model shows i9505 but device name is still sgh-m919 and I bought it from t-mobile). In the past I've done this a few times, usually from stock phones, but it has been a while since I've done this and I've never made a major upgrade to a newer ROM. Im a bit hesitant to do this on my own without first posting as I hardly remember what I flashed to my S4 the first time around other than the Omega ROM, and I haven't been keeping up with S4 development at all since then, so I'm unsure of whether or not I can simply wipe and install v41 of Omega (current ROM has started being wonky, various things becoming unstable, cannot connect to camera, etc). I was reading the thread and there was enough talk of kernels, custom boot loaders, and other things that I just felt confused and decided to seek the wisdom of the forum before proceeding. But, I am correct in assuming that this ROM which carries i9505 in the title thread can be flashed to my device yes? If I recall correctly that is what I did before.

If anyone can advise me, caution me, or otherwise inform me, that would be very, very helpful,

Thanks.

Thanks for the explanation and thanks to the mods for the move, its obvious I don't post on this forum much.

Back to the topic at hand, anyone care to comment? Anything I need to do?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Specific help for your T-mobile device can be found at http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile as this is the international S4 forum. In general, you should be able to use any ROM from this forum, provided it does not flash a bootloader or modem. Most don't. The only wrinkle I can think of is that if a ROM uses a custom kernel, your device may reject that kernel. Thus you should look at the link I provided and see if there is a custom kernel for your S4 that you can flash after flashing the ROM.

Needless to say, make sure you do a factory reset in recovery to wipe out any lingering problems Omega ROM may have caused.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexjustdoit:
I may have flashed a modem previously when I originally flashed Omega ROM. If so, will this cause a problem? I'll take a look at the other forum, thanks.

I have galaxy s6 gold 64gb i just received today, which replaced another galaxy s6 black sapphire I had returned bc it came defective... so before sending back the black I did a full back up of it. so when the new phone arrived today I rooted and restored it with backup I had from the other phone and now it has no signal at all . when I go to settings and status it shows unknown for baseband, IMEI, ect. please help.. I flashed the stock with odin a few times and still nothing...the last flash i also checked nand erase all and the when i turn the phone on it goes directly to stock recovery and doesn't boot into android....

Odin the stock firmware from sammobile

Use sammobile Only register and search for g920t 5.0.2

It's there Complete stock

Boot Into download mode power off phone then volume down +home button+power all at once

Then when it asks use volume up to start download mode

USB to pc open odin 3.09 click on AP and choose your desktop firmware .

So i know understand what I did and understand what the efs is.... My question now is that if theres nothing I can do to fix the phone... I just got it delivered yesterday.. Can I just return back to tmobile and I wont encounter any issues... because it turns on and everything, it just doesnt connect to the network... can I just call them and tell them That it stop working and return it without any issues since Im still withing the buyers remorse period?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] wase4711:
the reality is YOUR mistake broke YOUR phone.

If you're asking if its ok to lie about something YOU did to YOUR phone, I think you know the answer to that..

Do you think that t mobile and all of its customers should have to eat the cost of the phone when it was YOUR fault for breaking it?

I don't think you'll get much support for that on XDA...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] PanchoPlanet:
Samsung eats the cost.

" A mere bag of shells "

Just don't do it again.

Maybe you should do some reading or ask questions first before you mess the next one up.

"Best" is pretty subjective when it comes to ROMs. But this is definitely NOT the most stable.

If you want something solid check out the Google Play edition roms.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ventzx:
Hello everyone I have a problem which requires some help.

My parents accidentally did a factory reset and lost all her contacts and phonebook, so I am trying to recover it. I tried to use Tenorshare android recovery but found out it won't work without root so I have a few questions regarding that.

I found a guide on how to root here without the knox counter going up and voiding the warranty.

http: androidxda.net/how-to-root-galaxy-s4-gt-i9505-on-android-5-0-1-lollipop-without-tripping-knox

and these are my details and also I am on 5.01 GTI9505 Galaxy Samsung 4

AP: I9505XXUH0B8

CP: I9505XXUH0B8

CSC: I9505VFRHOC1

Firstly regarding the bootloader can I use this bootloader

I9505XXUHOB7 bootloader

md5:1e02a99ed0a26a9acf5b12bdb1778c18

Since my CP and AP is I9505XXUH0B8 and the bootloader is I9505XXUHOB7, the last digit is one less and does not match so I would like to confirm if it will work.

My final question is since the storage is similar to a PC in that if something gets deleted and as long as that part of the sector is not overwritten, there is a high chance of recovery I am trying to limit over writing the storage as much as possible.

So I would like to ask can I skip parts of the guide

http: androidxda.net/how-to-root-galaxy-s4-gt-i9505-on-android-5-0-1-lollipop-without-tripping-knox

For example skipping steps 1 to 9 as I am already on 5.01 offical firmware and all those steps seem to do is reinstall 5.01 or is the enable everRoot setting essential to rooting the device.

I mean if I have to put 2.6 + gigs of data on the device then there is a high chance that the data will be overwritten.

Oh one more thing I would like to ask is can I root using an external SDCARD.

Alternatively would it be better to downgrade to 4.4.2 firmware then root?

Or is it too late and the chances of recovery is slim in which case there is no point to losing the warranty as well.

I would like to know what my options are.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this thread and for any assistance you can provide.

Kind Regards
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Changing the bootloader will trip knox.

Downgrading the bootloader will trip knox.

I don't think stuff can be recovered from the internal storage due to something called trimming. I don't know exactly what it does, but somebody had a similar issue (with photos) and another user mentioned they couldn't be recovered with such "deleted files recovery software" due to that "trimming" thing.

Anyway, if there was a registered google account on the phone, chances are that there is a backup on the account. Google syncs the data automatically (if not disabled), meaning it backs up your numbers to your/their gmail.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
As of Android 4.3 Google enabled Trim. Data recovery is impossible. So it's gone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ventzx:
Thank you for the quick response, GDReaper and Lennyz1988. I tried restoring from google but it doesn't work, the account itself while checking online is entirely empty, nothing in the contacts folder. I think either all the numbers were linked with whatapps or either they were saved to the phone directly.

Anyway now I know that data recovery is impossible I will stop looking into rooting the phone.

Once again thanks
[Java for Android App Development] droflex1:
Hello everyone,

I'm new to java-android programming and have what is probably a very basic question.

I purchased some source code to reskin and whoever wrote the code was either sloppy or very talented because it's difficult for me to follow with my limited training.

I've managed to get through most of what I wanted to do but this part is throwing me off.

I have a button that captures the current screen view and brings up an intent share popup window allowing the user to select whatever program they have for sharing the screenshot.

That works fine, however the app has a banner add at the bottom of the screen that I would like to overlay with another image when the user presses the share button. Then after the screenshot is saved I want the overlayed image to disappear and they can continue on.

// Here is a code snip-it of what I have that works for capturing and sharing:

case R.id.ShareButton:

// Capture the screenshot:

View v = view.getRootView();

v.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);

Bitmap b = v.getDrawingCache();

String extr = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString();

File myPath = new File(extr, getString(R.string.myImage)+".png");

FileOutputStream fos = null;

try {

fos = new FileOutputStream(myPath);

b.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, fos);

fos.flush();

fos.close();

MediaStore.Images.Media.insertImage( getContentResolver(), b,

"Screen", "screen");

} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

} catch (Exception e) {

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

}

// Share the screenshot:

Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);

// If you want to share a png image only, you can do:

// setType("image/png"); OR for jpeg: setType("image/jpeg");

share.setType("image/*");

// Make sure you put example png image named myImage.png in your

// directory

String imagePath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()

+ "/myImage.png";

File imageFileToShare = new File(imagePath);

Uri uri = Uri.fromFile(imageFileToShare);

share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uri);

startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share, "Post your WINNINGS!"));

break;

Hi guys!

(Please checked the attached file)

My friend has this AT&T S4. It was soft bricked and only going to Download Mode. We managed to boot in Jelly Bean using a .pit file and a PDA file through Odin, but the phone only works during the first boot. Restart and it freezes on the lock screen.

It is right now updating via an AT&T OTA update, so I guess it's going back to KitKat (was originally on 4.4.4)

Can you guys give us some guidance? We would like to install some clean LP rom (AOSP/CM) and root if possible.

Thanks in advance!
