[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
You need a pit file specific to the storage size of your device.

With a pit file, the phone storage will be repartitioned. Something like you would do on a pc when you need more storage on one partition. Only that here you don't get to choose the size.

I am not that familiar with pit files. But it is worth a try, since everything else failed.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deathvirus:
Dont the firmwares originally come with pit files ? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diddler77:
From what little I gather from the simple Odin instructions page, some firmwares are packaged with additional files. The two versions I've downloaded from sammobile for my device type only contained a single tar.md5 file when unzipped.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Check http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon if you haven't already done so, but I think you're going to have a problem trying to downgrade, as your device has a locked bootloader. The bootloader being locked is primarily designed to prevent root, but it also has the effect of preventing downgrades. If it didn't have that capability, users could simply flash a bootloader that could be compromised, obtain root, and remove the bloatware.

You posted your question in the International S4 forum, and international devices don't lock their bootloaders, which is why no one has really picked up on this until now. The only reason I picked up on the possibility of it being your bootloader is because I own an international device yet live in the US, so I'm acutely aware of the locked bootloaders foisted upon us by AT&T and Verizon.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
It is my understanding that Odin fails after trying to flash aboot.mbn because the ROM being flashed has a bootloader that is older than the bootloader currently installed on the phone.

Some models of the s4, such as the Canadian version (sgh-i337m) can be flashed from stock LP to stock KK using Odin without issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You're right about the age of the bootloader being a reason why downgrading fails. You're also right that most devices can downgrade without issue. However, the OP's device is not one of them. He happens to have one of the models with a locked bootloader, and to the best of my recollection, the locked bootloader means you cannot downgrade, period.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diddler77:
If this is true, I'm really ticked off. What a waste of time. You'd think that somewhere, on ANY of the forums and websites someone would have mentioned that my device is crippled in this manner. Every single site makes Odin sound like the silver bullet.

Why is there even firmware available for Verizon GS4's then?

Understand I'm not ungrateful for the advice, I do appreciate it. Just venting.

-sigh-
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
100% true, and it's not limited to Verizon either. AT&T also locks the bootloader. As to mentioning it, it likely is mentioned in the AT&T and Verizon S4 General forums, but you won't find that information here. As I mentioned, this is the International S4 forum, and we don't have locked bootloaders to deal with.

I know it sucks, but this is what we deal with in the US. That's why for my next device I went with a Nexus.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LupineDream:
I don't have a PIT file for OF4 firmware on the SM-S975L (Straight Talk variant) so the downgrade failed as for OP, I'm stuck in download mode with a yellow triangle.

Yeah, Verizon released this phone to Straight Talk evidently. I'm locked tight and basically hard bricked. Wicked pissed, too. Since Kies says phone model not supported. CANNOT restore.

Nexus it probably is. This phone was a waste of money.

Or at least...that was until I found a hack that let me install the old Jellybean kernel! :D http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/unif...ariant-of4-t3279890/post64511525#post64511525

Only problem is, sure, you can get your kitkat kernel back, but I wasn't successful probably because NB1 firmware was Verizon firmware at the time of my flash so my CSC didn't work, but since they're both JellyBean I got root. But as long as they're the same carrier my hack should work. Link me your firmware, I can let you try. It'll trip the hell out of KNOX though. I used Odin 3.07. It requires some by-hand hex editing. When you gain root you can disable Knox to flash other things with SuperSU.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=2924897]LupineDream[/MENTION]: Of course you weren't successful in changing kernels. The SM-S975L is not a CDMA (i.e. Verizon) phone, but uses T-Mobile towers. The SCH-R970G is the other Straight Talk S4 and it used Sprint as a carrier. Verizon does not allow MVNOs access to their LTE network, which is how you can tell that you're NOT on Verizon.

The bootloader on Straight Talk S4 devices is not locked down like the OP's bootloader. Otherwise it would not be possible to install custom ROMs to the device. I have a distinct feeling that your hack will not work. Not because it's incorrect as you clearly had success, but because of the locked bootloader on the device, which is designed to prevent the very thing you successfully accomplished on your Straight Talk device.

To restore your phone to working condition, download the S975L firmware from sammobile and flash it through the BL slot in Odin. Then sell it and get a Nexus.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LupineDream:
Hey, if I found a workaround for obtaining root on the ATT variant, users of that phone now have an fstab and an (almost complete) list of partitions and mount points for a device tree. So I hope that information at least made their lives better. In knowing they can indeed flash a kernel with said workaround. The device list, fstab, and mount points are all in my root guide now. Since after reflashing the boot image by itself the device boots again and has maintained root status, though with broken WiFi which can be fixed with a custom kernel. Oh well, at least users of my phone get a custom ROM., at least if you've got the ATT variant. All the info is in my thread for ATT variants. I' don't have my stock kernel, however. But it isn't an issue as for what I've provided, I think its enough to get a custom one for the ATT variants. Still going to sell and get my Nexus. But left it with a bang I suppose. I'll hack a locked bootloader until I'm blue in the face if it means I got root. You are indeed right, though. It isn't for ME to keep around, but please note that before I was even able to flash a kernel, I had to hack it. It was displaying secure boot status and would not allow flashing of anything. I was told they where all locked. I was never able to root OF4 before because of "locked conditions" where NB1 refused to flash before my hack.

I'm going shopping soon. :D Maybe I'll get the Verizon variant on the side to see if I can force my way in through another one of these types of loopholes. After all, my device would not flash a kernel before I did what I did to it...I was able to disable knox and allow kernel flashing by doing so. Through SuperSU. That bit was set before I did what I did to the device. All it takes is flashing of the NB1 kernel to Verizon through tricking knox it's official firmware and enough know-how to get the system to boot well enough to be able to inject root.

My device still won't flash non-official firmware or recovery. Because of a verification check in the kernel. I tried. Sig fai on kernel. But, now that Knox can be disabled, all it takes is an if/of dd flash of modified aboot in adb and then anything is possible at that point. I looked into loki_tool for always passing signature check passed to hardware knox. And clearing out EERAM before knox gets a chance to react. Loki'fied aboots satisfy knox pretty well I'd say.

The ROM displayed there iis for the Verizon variant by the way. I found Verizon-related apks in system.img.ext4. Even without the modem, it still won't flash. Have a download, rename it, extract the tar and hex edit look through the file. Yep, that's a verizon variant ROM.

One question, however, is does hardware knox do a checksum on aboot? That would pretty much make this argument a moot point.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Ask Chainfire. He needed to know about how Knox functioned so he could get SuperSU to disable it.

[XDA Assist] July9:
Hello, I have a problem with my Nubia z5s mini. I have a ROM in which I just have 2GB for installing apps. Anybody knows any ROM with more space for apps or any way to change this space? Because the phone has 16GB ROM and now I have just 2GB for apps and it is not enough for me and 10GB for photos and videos...

Thank you!!
[XDA Assist] Saber:
Hi,

Thanks for using XDA assist.

As far as I know, changing ROMs does not effectively "give" more space for installing apps. However, it is true that newer android versions such as lollipop require more app space on install because of it's new Android run-time. I've searched around XDA and there are no guides on how to increase app storage space. But, it does help if you can move most of your app data onto your internal storage so you have more room for other apps.

Alternatively, you can post in the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum as there is no dedicated thread for your device.

Good Luck! - gsstudios

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rythu_u:
Hey guys so I bought a Nexus 6P yesterday. Everything works good except the video camera, the 120/240 fps has a lots of grains, when I take it outside it dosent have much problem but I feel its not up to the mark of iphone.

Also when i change orientations from landscape to portrait it lags for a tiny second.

Is it normal to have this issue. Any ideas or fixes?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D47x:
Similar thing on mine, grain is always there indoors in 240 fps, in 120 fps it's still acceptable (at least when there's some source of light. When i switch orientation on camera it only lags for a couple of tens of milliseconds, same as an iPhone.

So i'm assuming nothing's wrong with my phone
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rythu_u:
Glad to know I'm not alone.. But it would have been cool if it worked all the time in great quality as I love taking slow mo videos. BTW I don't find the iPhone camera to lag at all .. They always seem to manage software better than anyone else.

I was thinking of getting this replaced but I'm afraid if the other one will come with more serious problems.:rolleyes:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonzaTheChosenOne:
Grain is there, because you are shooting stuff indoors, and in 1/240 of a second you get little to none light in to the camera sensor. Also, comparing looks of the 720p footage between iPhone 720p-ish 5 inch screen vs. 2k 5.7 inch screen on Nexus 6p is pointless.

My point is, the footage will look worse on Nexus 6p because it has much bigger resolution and screen.

you were on Lollipop when you bricked and now you are trying to flash a kitkat rom, this will not work as the kiktak rom files (IA32) pushed by the Phone Flash tool are not recognized by the Lollipop bios (x64).

since there is no publicly available (leaked) lollipop stock rom for the 830L model you will have to:

1. downgrade first your bios to the kitkat version using the steps in here, do the steps in 'how to use'

2. now flash your kitkat stock rom, remember to set your country code when finished flashing, on your first boot, or you will fail in the future when attempting to update using an OTA

3. optional, update to lollipop using the OTA when prompted by your (now) running kitkat android

[Thinkpad Tablet General] ionioni:
if it went to that point the bios restoring has not yet started (yet it confirms you are on lollipop bios) so you can close the tool exe window safely

this can mean one of these things:

1. (most likely) your drivers need to be reinstalled, download from here and install both files in the zip (accepting whatever it prompts you and using defaults) and reboot at the end your pc, then try again the downgrading the bios, if it still hangs on that 'waiting for root shell' try when you get ther and some seconds have passed to unplug and replug the usb to force a redetection of the new usb mode (windows does it automatically, never met a case where it didn't yet you can try it)

2. (unlikely) you are using windows in a virtual environment such as virtualbox or vmware (are you?) and it did not detected the usb changing mode, if that is the case (only if you are using windows in virtualbox, i doubt) unplug and replug the usb when it says 'waiting for root shell'

3. (almost impossible) your usb controller is bricked
