128 GB Sandisk Ultra Micro SDXC Card does not support Galaxy S4

I have Samsung Galaxy S4 i337 now I bought 128 GB Sandisk Ultra Micro SDXC Card for my mobile when I take pictures fro camera it crypts my camera pics. can anybody give me solution ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
I just tried to flash this firmware on my i337M with TWRP but couldn't because it says it's not for jfltecan. Am I missing something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] audit13:
Did you check the updater script? If you know the rom will work on the jfltecan, you could try editing the script.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bchiu:
Is there one that had the script already edited? It's hard to edit the script on the phone which is zipped.

Would you able to share your copy of this ROM which can install on a jfltecan?

Flash the recovery for the international phone 9505

It's the same device for all intents and purposes..

Then you can flash the rom fine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Works great. Thank you. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JesterDoobie:
Also a Canadian jfltecan user, Best rom, imo, is Dandvh's GPE 5.0 (all the 5.1 releases have issues for me). Rocksolid, smooth, and I get 1 1/2 days with heavy usage on the battery with mostly stock settings. 3 days+ if it's just a music player/check email cpl times.. Beware of Google Play Services Battery drain/wakelock bug, a lot of 5+ roms that work on our device suffer from it. Not a TWRP fan, I use Philz Touch recovery (CWM based, it's quite good.) You can usually flash any jfletexx Rom's, our phone is mostly the same as an i9505, but some don't work, or suffer from serious bugs. There's a "Jfltecan megathread" here, look it up.

I used CF Autoroot, flashed with Odin. v3.4. Heimdall seems to be a more powerful version of Odin for super geeks, and imo is totally unnecessary for a "regular" flasher. And Odin is unneeded after installing TWRP/CWN. Also, Root isn't needed if you have a custom recovery already, 99% of the rom's I've tried are either pre-rooted, integrated into system, or come with a link to cf-autoroot.zip.

ALL of the "jflte-XXX's" are device variants, not CM names. CM uses that naming convention to differentiate instead of the sgh-i337m your device actually is. Rather confusing, as roms get labelled with "i9505" OR "jflteXX" at the whim of the developer, makes no sense. and drives me nutso. And mobile odin (search here, it's somewhere. It's a Chainfire app) works pretty good also.

I'm rather geeky and been flashing stuff to my sgh-i337m for months, but am not a dev, so idk much. If you've got a question, feel free to ask, I'll help if I can.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] EightBitRanger:
Have a question for anyone using ResurrectionRemix, OpenGapps, or maybe just a Marshmallow ROM in general as I'm not exactly sure where the problem is.

I have an SGH-I337M that I was able to install Remix onto by changing the script as suggested above and now my phone thinks its a GT-I9505. Well because my phone originally came from Sasktel and now I use it on Wind, I had to change the AWS settings or whatever which I was able to do fine on my previous stock Samsung rom using *#0808* as per the walkthrough here. Except now I can't do that. I've tried both *#0808# (which would immediately bring up USBSettings) and *#7284#, neither of which do nothing even after pressing call.

Is there a way that I don't know of to change the phone to RNDIS + DM + MODEM so I can continue with the patching process or otherwise change my AWS settings or do I have to go back to my previous rom?

im trying phoenix rom but is really laggy...did you try it? you think will work better with imperium ll kernel?

except goldeneye which rom you will recommend? i
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JesterDoobie:
ya phoenix is laggy and broken for me. Dandhv's 5.0.1 (i prefer the 20150112 release, aroma install+better features than later ones) GPE is the way to go imho. Needs to be re-flashed about every month or so, but everything works fine, and it has WORKING 911 (some ROM's break quite spectacularly when you dial emerg services.) But like all ROMs based on android 4.2 or higher, it breaks over time and the only way to fix it (afaik) is to flash a different rom zip, bootup once or 2X, then flash the 5.0.1 GPE again. I suspect some "long-term," "vital" part of Google's "clean-up/optimization" coding is getting stripped or altered by ROM devs (either cuz it's broken, cuz they dont get it's purpose, or cuz they disagree with that choice personally [or becuase it's model-specific. I can flash just about any i9505 ROM, but a LOT of them don't quite work right, not quite the same device hardware or kernel drivers just .0.1 different or something.]) Don't matter why,though, end result is the same, long-term (more than about a month's) usage of any rom here on XDA is all-but impossible. Got 2 months one time but I didn't have my phone powered for most of one month, so... NB that I haven't tried any of the TW (touchWiz-based) ROMs, I really want an AOSP/Nexus "clean" version of Android. Most TW Roms are HUGE, Sammy's offerings HAVE TO compress the /system partitions to cram more useless krap in there (6gb CWM backups? WTF is IN THERE guys?) when an AOSP /system partition is usually ~250MB zipped and like 600-700mb (at most) installed (seen Linux kernels that run into 1-2MB's, ffs. WTF does my phone(Android=Linux) need a 6GB /system for? SPYING ON ME) Which affects performance and battery and hence (due to how Android works) affects everything you actually DO with the device, right? Phone makers/Google got it all wrong, imo. K.I.S.S. Too busy adding more and more spying/Privacy invasion/Advertisement "features" to actually optimize their software for the available hardware and make Android really great.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] AmyGrrl:
Looking for some advice. I have a SGH-I337M that was running stock 5.0.1. Just learned how to flash my first custom rom ever yesterday. Flashed the proper twrp-3.1.1-0-jfltecan only to discover no Resurrection Remix OS roms are available to download on its main site and can't find alternate downloads. So learned I could use flashtwrp-3.1.1-0-jflteatt and ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.4-20161008-jflteatt. Everything seems to work well except I am really not happy with the microphone volume. People on Discord have been complaining they can not hear me. I had zero issues with my microphone volume on stock 5.0.1. I did set ro.qc.sdk.audio.fluencetype=fluence to none and that did improve the microphone volume. But its still no where near as good as it was when I was on stock 5.0.1. What else can I do to fix this? Would a proper jfltecan rom fix this issue if I could some how locate it? Also I read about people flashing different kernels to the device. Can someone explain what this does and why I would want to install it and what kernel is the best to use? Thanks for any help and recommendations!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
I have two SGH-I337M which use LinesageOS 14.1 w/o any issue. Maybe you can give it a try.

https://download.lineageos.org/jfltexx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] AmyGrrl:
I did actually switch to twrp-3.1.1-0-jfltexx today so I could install even newer builds. I have RR-N-v5.8.4-20170826-jfltexx-Official_31.1 installed right now. So I am running Android 7.1.2. Microphone does seem to be better with this build. Does LineageOS have been performance over Resurrection Remix OS? Like better battery life, etc. Not sure if I want to go to the trouble of switching over if it doesn't work better. Thanks!

I also have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 SGH-I317M and noticed I could also install LineageOS 14.1 nightly build on it as well. I liked it so much that I installed the latest LineageOS nightly build on my SGH-I337M. Love that the are both are on the same build and android version now. LineageOS seems better supported and I read that Oreo will be coming to both my phone. So now I am all set and read to go when it comes out. Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
AFAIK, most custom builds were based on CM which was the predecessor of LineageOS. Both CM and LineageOS are as lean as Android gets, that means you will reclaim much internal storage with less background process when compared to stock firmware. The current LineageOS's standby battery life is pretty good, but the battery is drained pretty fast and the CPU gets pretty warm if used continuously (but I have no idea how it compares to the stock firmware). Google updates the Android security on 5th every month so you might update yours once a month if you don't want to mess with them every week because sometimes something might be broken with a new build. You never know so always keep your last update on your phone so you can always flash the working one back if the new one screws up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] LedHendrix:
Did you need to modify this file in any way? Or did you just flash it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
No mod is required. Just flash this TWRP (https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys4internationalqualcomm.html) then you can install lineageOS (https://download.lineageos.org/jfltexx) from TWRP.

I337m fido

Hello, I tried installing 3 different recent versions of lineage os nougat and everything worked except that the wifi would always drop. I had to revert to Aosp to solve the issues temporarily. Can anyone suggest a solution? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] audit13:
Is the Fido phone running the latest bootloader and modem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GMeloche:
I had to unlock the bootloader, not familiar if the bootloader can be upgraded? I have the original modem, I have tried to look for modems but did not figure out what to use. The recent versions of modems for my phones seem to limitted to samsungs latest official aosp's version. So i didnt think a new modem would even affect the wifi, since cellular signal was fine. Someone suggested installing a custom kernel but I have not figured that out yet either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raptor170:
I would suggest to flash to the latest official firmware, than flash twrp and your rom of choice. Flashing stock will also flash newest modem.... Not sure if thats your issue but i would start there
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] audit13:
The i337m does not and has never had a locked bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] roms4eva:
Greetings again [MENTION=4673498]audit13[/MENTION],

I wish to install Albe95 LolliROM 9.0. The instructions state that I will have to install another modem, HPA1 in order for my WiFi to work. I am wondering if I will still maintain in the unlocked status since I have I337MVLUGOH1. Any tips prior to installation of that rom?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] audit13:
Wi-fi can be affected by the kernel too.

I would not install any third party modem as an invalid modem may cause severe problems. I suggest flashing the ROM and trying out the functions.

The HPA1 looks like a modem for the international version of the s4, not the Canadian version of the s4. Personally, I would not flash it.

Once the s4 has been network unlocked, it should remain permanently unlocked, even after bootloader and modem updates.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] roms4eva:
Thanks, I will report back to you :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] audit13:
Great. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] roms4eva:
Hi [MENTION=4673498]audit13[/MENTION],

Flash went well. Unfortunately, the WiFi refuses to work. At setup, it would not let me toggle the WiFi to the on position and neither within' the settings. Shall I install the suggested kernal (Imperium one) in the FAQ before the modem?

Any suggestions are appreciated!

edit: if you think I should avoid this rom due to potential issues from kernal/modem modifications, I'll see to it that I look at another rom to install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] audit13:
Hi [MENTION=7940552]roms4eva[/MENTION],

I recommend flashing the kernel as the modem is not meant for the i337m.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] roms4eva:
Kernal flash went well. WiFi is now connecting. Thanks for your help!

ps. do you have any recommended roms that are low on battery consumption and minimalistic? I had the slimROM for quite a while but has been giving me issues with the microphone.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] audit13:
[MENTION=7940552]roms4eva[/MENTION], unfortunately, I don't know which ROMs have good battery life as I am not using an s4 at the moment.

The problem is that some rom and kernel combinations can give good battery life but have other issues while other combinations have no issues except battery life.

You could try other kernels and even try some apps like greenify.

I recently just flashed my wife's SGH-i337M with the official JFLTEXX Lineage OS. One thing she is noticing now is that the battery is draining faster. I was wondering if I should update the modem somehow. not sure how to update a modem when i technically have the "wrong" rom on here. I have wiped the davlik cache and pulled the battery on it. It seems like it has a harder time at different times remaining connected to the tower which is obviously why it is draining the battery faster. I have also set all power saving modes to maximum. She used to get 2 days on a charge and now it is down to 1 day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raptor170:
Are you using the jfltecan twrp? Also if so, I'd say try flashing another jfltecan ROM like Tesla, tipsy, validus etc. And see if that helps first

For those of you who don't know.... I have an i337M but using i9505 roms. Have been for a long time. If I remember correctly, I flashed an i9505 TWRP recovery to make the i9505 roms work, but I'd have to find the thread I followed to make sure of that.... I was running Dirty Unicorns for a long time previous to running RR Remix 7.1.2 which is my new favorite. Everything works awesome with that rom. I was trying the Imperium LL rom today but since it needs a different baseband, I had no cell signal. Everything else worked great though, very fast and smooth.

Just a few tips in case they help anyone.

Hello

I tried for a month to find a compatible version with my i337m jfltecan. All versions still had a problem. I had to reinstall the original rom. Then I finally find on another forum the good version.

Even for the TWRP I never managed to install the jfltecan version, I installed the jfltexx.

Designed for jfltexx but works wonders on my SGH-I337M.

Go try it you will be convinced.

Here are some notes I made for noob's:

I first rooted the device by following the instructions here: dr0idv1ewsdotcom/root-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337m-canadian-on-android-5-0-1-lollipop-firmware/

I used odin to install supported versions of TWRP 3.2.2.0 jfltexx

& ClockWorkMod (6.0.4.4 i9505). Wouldn't let me boot into recovery (I think I was pressing wrong keys)

I then installed ROM Manager from the Play Store. From the ROM Manager I can reboot into recovery. I then discovered if I enable developer mode & then usb debug in settings, I can then plug phone in, hit allow on the phone and then run "adb reboot recovery" and TWRP will load. So no need for ROM manager.

EDIT: I found the way to boot into recovery: Turn phone off. Press Vol UP+Home+Power. Screen should turn on. when screen turns off release home+Power but continue to hold Vol Up. That boots into recovery. Vol Down+Home+Power is download mode.

Confirmed working with a SIM card & Bluetooth/Wifi all ok.

The S4 sgh-i337 (Qualcomm processor) can only run custom ROMs based on a stock Samsung ROM if the bootloader is locked.

If the bootloader is not locked, it still can't run i9500 (Exynos processor) ROMs because the phones use different hardware.

It's not directly made for the jfltecan, but I can confirm it does work. If you don't need F2FS, stick with 2.8.4.0 as F2FS support is all this modified version gives you.

For those who are interested in using the official CM12.1 ROM, it is possible on the i337M. Although the Canadian model is not officially supported, the phones are the same, and you can use the JFLTEXX build. The catch is that you have to use a JFLTEXX-compatible recovery, otherwise it won't let you install the ROM. And one very important note: DO NOT use TWRP 2.8.6.0. (Bootloop) One more note is that your device model will appear as SGH-i9505 in your phone info.

Download and flash TWRP 2.8.4.0: https://dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/ (DO NOT USE 2.8.6.0)

Download and flash CM12.1's latest nightly: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jfltexx
