[Galaxy S 4 General] LukeTheTechGuy:
I had a problem where my Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337M) was stuck in a boot loop because of the Lollipop 5.0.1 update. I tried everything from going into recovery mode and factory resetting it to doing the smack method on it. Then I found this way by flashing the Android Kitkat 4.4.2 ROM back into my phone via Odin. Here are the steps to downgrade to KitKat 4.4.2:

NOTE: I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. please proceed if you know what you are doing.

Before you start:

Turn on USB debugging by going to Settings>More>Developer Options. (If you don't have developer options, go to Settings>More>About device and press the build number 5-10 times and developer mode will be enabled)

Make sure battery is charged at least 50%

Backup everything if you can or make sure you have a backup already done.

Have your phone plugged into the computer

After you done those things, you ready to begin. Here is what to do:

1. Download Odin v3.09. You can download it by copy and pasting the link. odindownload.com/

2. Download the firmware for your phone. Go to sammobile.com (You will have to create a free account first) and look up your model. (For Example: you will search SGH-I337M if you have a Canadian Galaxy S4). The Model info should be behind the battery. If you don’t know or can’t find it, comment below and I will find it for you. Make sure you have the right carrier as well if it says so.

NOTE: Downloading the firmware may take a while if you have a slow internet connection. If you have a slow internet connection, make sure your computer doesn't sleep overnight while its downloading.

3. Extract both files to your computer.

4. Open Odin v3.09

5. On your Galaxy S4, Turn off your device. When its shut off, press the Power>Hone, and VOLUME DOWN key at the same time. You will see this pop up.

(Image called 5-custom-os-warning.jpg. Click file for picture if you don't understand)

You will press volume up. Then you will see this.

(Image called 4-downloading.jpg . Click file for picture if you don't understand)

DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE WHEN THIS SHOWS UP!

5. Open Odin v3.09. Click the AP Button.

(Image called Odin-3.09.jpg . Click file for picture if you don't understand)

6. Look for the firmware you downloaded and click open. You will have to wait a bit until the firmware is in Odin. You will know when its finished when you see the file name in the AP box.

7. Click START. You will have to wait as the process takes 5-10 minutes. The phone will reboot once or twice. then the welcome screen should pop up. and you are DONE. You have successful downloaded Android KitKat 4.4.2.

Enjoy!

Does this same procedure work for downgrading to JellyBean MDJ firmware? Or can Lollipop only be downgraded to Kitkat?

Thanks.

Hello all, I keep getting this error on my phone everytime I plug it through usb. The error message reads:

"The device is currently busy and its contents may not be fully displayed. If another application is copying data to or from the device, please wait for it to finish and then retry."

I have tried using multiple usb ports, restarting my phone, but the error keeps showing up. What could cause this?

Hi,

I have updated my mobile to kitkat but my camera is not working even after installing patches. Can I install this stock rom by flashing rom as I installed kitkat.

Thanks in anticipation
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j1635:
So ive been search around for a while now on how to fix this. And to anyone that chimes in and says why do you need the menu button obviously you don't use older apps, the new touch button on the screen is a huge annoyance especially since i've used my phones this way since my first S1. Regardless this is how i want it and so do many other people.

Currently this is only for a rooted phone

I have figured out how to remap the left soft key from the App Switcher/Multi window over to the old style menu key. Instructions for that can be found here

But now i don't have any way of switching to my currently open apps, after remapping the left key, the longpress now takes you to search. and long pressing on the home button also takes you to another variation of the search (both i dont use nor want). I want to be able to remap my left softkey on longpress to open up currently open apps (APP_SWITCH) and it would be nice if long pressing on Home could open the Task Manager as it did on my S3.

As far as i can tell editing of the longpress function is done via a Policy edit. Read about that HERE

Keep in mind that post is from 2014 so i have no idea if the internal code is still being handled the same way, i couldn't even find that file on my S6, but i did find a file called SEPOLICY in my root folder using ROOT EXPLORER. Do any of you know more about this and how I can go about changing this? im sure its a code level adjustment. Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasK:
Long-press home button can be controlled without root easily.

Check out this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spada.nowgesturetweaksfree

I use the long-press home to get to my last used app.

I wonder if I can remap my buttons to launch any other apps.. Will have to tinker around a bit.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipper2006:
If you guys use Dropbox, how do you get to the menu with SORT, etc.. without a menu key. This is making me crazy. I'm using nova launcher and there is no floating menu key. ????
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pratz852:
The problem is if not every developer uses it, it's inconsistent.

It often helps if the options etc. In apps are on the top, so you don't have to fidget with your phone to reach the top or use two hands.

The menu button on every app is positioned somewhere else, so I find the op wanting it justified.

All in one gestures let's you remap every key, for some odd reason on my s4 I can remap the menu key, but on the S6 for some odd reason the option of the menu key has vanished in the same app:what:
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erik Lieders:
Hi pal. Hope it helps. Make 254 button remap, then install nova launcher, in tab gestures select long press menu and then recent app. Profit! Now once tapped you have menu button, long pressed - recent apps.

So, i made it, i use it. It works.

i saw your page.. there are 2 roms i seem to like, yours and EMPORIA but idk who is best. lol i haven't even bought the phone yet but yea the menu button will be missed for me. what i want in a rom? if its based on stock i like it as close to stock as possible (no bloatware), call recording, if there's an option for increasing camera performance thats awesome, better battery life than stock original. that's it basically. and if i only want to root, how can i change menu longpress? i hered theres like a toolbox root app for galaxy devices...
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex-V:

I saw it on the screens from the new black shadow rom . . .
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Kevlar-Source:
I really don't think so... These are screen shots... Nothing user typed...

Walshieau's signature refer exactly the same version...

I just wonder where to get it. It may come from unreleased / unreleasable sources but - in my opinion - not a typo...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Kevlar-Source:
I already PM both JJ and Walshieau but i doubt they even answer...

If it were to be released or leeched it would have been already...

Wouldn't you say?

Let's home someone has some info about this or, lets wait for their answer.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Bram87:

and what u think? already a new update ;) :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Bram87:
I'm searching..:rolleyes:

update: I decompiled the Black Shadow rom and there was no radio in it..so I guess, we just have to wait..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Lurch3559:
It is a new radio, either JJ and Walsh haven't been able to extract it yet or they are waiting for the hype and commotion about the rom's to die before releasing.

In addition Rogers Canada put out a New Radio 1.42.00.10, nobody can get it at the moment because it cannot be extracted because it is a new radio bootloader.

For Rogers we have to wait for an update that includes the Radio before it can be made public.

The newer radios as I have just found out from Pof and Sleuth are not extractable due to the new Radio bootloaders, I am sure with time the new radios will emerge.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Kevlar-Source:
Indeed...

Actually, the same happens to me all the time.

But regrading 1.43.00.00, i am trying to find a radio version more suitable to use with OPTIMUS in Lisbon - Portugal with a better performance as well as battery life.

It's not a satisfaction need of the Upgrading Animal... He he he
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Kevlar-Source:
In that case how can a device with Black Shadow have it?

Maybe they could provide us with the information of which ROM upgrade has it so we could use it an then Black Shadow again...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] kastro:
I'm so dying to get my hands on a new RADIO! I never have luck with any of them on our networks!

Hope it gets extracted and released soon!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Lurch3559:
When JJ got the ROM it must have included the Radio, JJ only puts out OS only ROM's, to risky otherwise, when JJ Flashed the original Shadow Rom it likely included the radio.

From what JJ has let out this was the official upgrade that he got his hands on. Currently there is no ROM upgrade with this Radio on it, you will have to wait until JJ or Walsh extract it if possible or until the official release or an update.

Bottom line, it is going to be a while, myself and austinsync have been searching for a new radio either from Rogers or newly released ROM's. The problem is the inability to extract from a dump and there are currently no new updates at this time.

Nothing all of us can do but wait.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mrvanx:
Correct sir.

The best thing we could hope for now is an RUU to be leaked from another source which we could gte the .nb from.

real question for me is how this new one compares to 1.40 on the cingular network here in the US. 1.40 is working fine for me, but I suppose I *have* to try out 1.43 (just because) ... unless some other cingular user out there has run 1.43 and has any insightful comments to share.

I did try 1.41 for a bit, but had dropped calls at the 3G/GSM switchover, so went back to 1.40.

Wonder what radio Cingular will release when they give the "official" upgrade later this year.

EDIT: OK, I have installed the new radio ... I will report back findings from the Bay Area.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] randomelements:
Had a few calls not come through this morning (the wife thought I was ignoring her - ooops ;) ) but this is a notoriously dodgy 3G area so I'll switch to 2G while at work and it should be okay.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] over2land:
I'm on Cingular. I'm in So Cal. Previously, I've run 1.38, 1.40, and 1.41, in addition to what my 8525 came with.

I've had voice problems with each of those radios. 1.38 had tower handoff issues, 1.40 had even worse handoff issues, in addition to no signal in my office (11th floor of a building on Wilshire Blvd).

1.41 was the best of them till today, signal in the office, signal at home, minimal hand off issues. however, it had problems occasionally just randomly searching for signal... sometimes if I was on the road, sometimes not. Most often when I got home from work.

Put 1.43 on it today at the office. 2 bars sitting at my desk, miraculously, 2 bars on the 3rd sublevel of the basement (where I park). I had been able to make and receive calls with my A1200 there, but that was the only phone to date. On the other radios, I was lucky to have signal on the first sublevel. With 1.43, I had two bars and was able to both make and receive calls. A first for this phone. Also, it wasn't searching for signal when I got home, and unlike before, it is showing full signal sitting here at my home computer.

I just put it on the phone today, hopefully I will continue to see usefullness in this radio. I'll post up in a week or so if things go well, sooner if I find some horrible problems with the radio.
