[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuzzychicken:
There is another thread where all ROMs are listed. I have tried flashing those stock ROMs but I have not been successful.

So I went back to 5.0.1 stock ROM and let the phone update by itself, still I have not been successful. I am super confused why repeated updates could not fix this problem.

I have EFS backups from 5.0.1 stock (before I started flashing business). Do you think I can use that? I am not too sure of CSC and PDA are in the efs partition, hence the question.

Thanks again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AndyYan:
For what I know you *have* to use the full firmware for those partitions...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuzzychicken:
Yes, I totally understand that. Since I9505G firmware is hard to come by and att Galaxy S4 is similar in hardware as that of S4 Play Edition, Is it worth giving a shot to that. I am on att MVNO so, in theory, it should work.

---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

I found these files. Do they constitute *full* firmware with approx correct file sizes?

These are not the newest files so I will not be able to update the bootloader but assuming that I update after flashing these, it *should*fix it.

Thanks again for help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AndyYan:
Looks "full" to me, though you don't need that PIT file unless the device is actually bricked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fuzzychicken:
Thanks mate.

My Bootloader and baseband is 2 versions updated to this one. So I don't want to flash those. In that case, there is a mismatch. What troubles should I expect?

At the moment, the phone is working just fine except the cellular data. Worth the risk of going ahead?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] natedog1528:
how would I install this kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1ll1nt1m3:
I just started having problems with wifi in the stock SGH-M919 and custom roms. (Not sure what I did, radio problem, I think) This rom installed fine and the kernel fixed the wifi. Its connected and downloading updates now. The only thing I see so far (I just installed it), is that the camera crashes. I flashed twrp right off the bat. I will reinstall it all to check when I get a chance. Thanks

Update:

Odin 3.12,

flash the full (sammobile) M919UVUFOK3, wipe data, and the wifi doesnt work but camera does

flash the M919VWXUGOL1_Boot+Rec+Sys.tar.md5, wipe data, and wifi doesnt work but camera does

flash twrp-3.2.3-0-jfltexx.img.tar, still no wifi

TWRP,

install Lolli-Test-TW-07.02.2015.zip, and now wifi works but camera crashes

M919UVUFOK3 and Lolli-Test-TW-07.02.2015.zip dont work (just thought i would check)

I dont have an active sim card for this phone so I cant really test it completely. That kernel does fix wifi though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1ll1nt1m3:
Im not sure what is going on. I just did Odin the stock firmware (samsung-firmware) three times as well. I can get wifi to turn on like normal now but it will not connect to 2.4Ghz wifi. It seems like its in a loop. It works fine with 5Ghz though. I tried 3 different custom ROMs too. I have 3 other Samsung phones (and 3 printers) that work fine on my 2.4Ghz. I see that both stock firmwares flash modem, aboot, boot, recovery, system, sbl1, sbl2, sbl3, cache, hidden, rpm, tz and hlos. I dont know what Im missing here.

It works fine with 5Ghz so it has to be something in my software, right? I am really bummed that i didnt dd this phone before I started messing with this one. I wont ever skip that step again, lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BanditBoy:
Same here...

M919V alone, WiFi doesn't work but the camera does.

M919V with the Lolli-Test kernel, WiFi works but the camera crash.

I need to keep this device alive but T-Mobile KK is dead. Less and less apps are compatible with it. At least with Lolli, we can get more juice from this device. A bit more at least...

Has anyone managed to put it to work? WiFi and camera?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Teracotta:
What tool did you use to repack the tar? I tried this with 7zip for a 4.2.2 rom, and it gave me "samsung has detected unauthorized firmware..."

I'm getting this now, but if it works, it's a start to potentially getting VoLTE on the M919. The SM-G900T started on Lolipop so the VoLTE and IMS apps may work when ported to the stock.

TAR_MD5_PACKAGER
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Teracotta:
thanks, I managed to do it with 7zip

wifi doesn't work and that's because of the bootloader. however I have idea on how to make this work

I found on the Galaxy S3, TWRP will flash the BL of alternate roms but not through ODIN. I used nandroid of T999 to flash T999 bootloader onto i9300

since the hardware is the same for this, we need full nandroid backup of M919V, then flash M919V bootloader, then the rest of the ROM can be flashed as normal except baseband

that will turn an M919 into M919V, while keeping the M919 baseband, CSC and radio's

however we need someone to donate the nandroid lol, I don't have that device

I'm running Windows 10 and I have USB 3.0 ports. I've uninstalled HTC Sync Manager and retained the drivers for this phone. When I connect my phone to my computer while running Android 6.0, I stay connected. When I connect my phone while I'm in download mode, my phone keeps connecting, disconnecting, and reconnecting continuously. Is this behavior normal? I'm afraid to flash anything at this point. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Dont know how but pressed VolUp+VolDown+Power and gone to bootloader state. After that have to unlock b/l again and after that when gone to Recovery, my TWRP is still there :) what a sweetness....

When enter to TWRP just some quick tex "Decrypting phone" and immediately rebooting to a normal state with all working phone states!

Is there any way to lock b/l again, turn to OEM state and to do a normal/regular HTC updating???

[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] RsFan23:
Hey guys,

so a few days ago my phone received some official automatic updates, so I decided to install it. Today, all of sudden my navigation bar stopped working, back, home and recent apps (not sure how it's called) - all together stopped working. Sometimes I manage to press back, but it's VERY inconsistent, so now as a solution I have to you an app from google store called "Back button". I also have a dead zone in upper part of display, but that problem appeared long time ago and I didn't bother to fix it/bring it to the store (my phone still has warranty I believe), since I could still kinda live with it. But not with both the dead zone in upper display and the navigation bar. Anyone has a clue on how to fix this? Or should I bring the phone to Sony store?

Honestly, I am very disappointed in Sony, previously had Xperia mini, which had problem with back button once again, as it would automatically press back whenever the phone overheated just a tiny bit. Found a solution after having to root and flashing a custom ROM, so it didn't really bother me after a while. When it was time for a new phone, decided to go for Sony once again, which turned out to be a big mistake, same issue once again! Next time I am going to avoid Sony at all cost.

Thank you in advance if anyone knows how to fix this.

And merry x-mas (soon) :)
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] reikar:
If you have warranty, then go with it.

I dont' think software update caused it since you already had another dead spot at the top.

If you are trying to unlock it, I believe firmware M15020e or M15020d can be unlocked for like 2.00 (via ebay)

the newer firmwares L, M etc.. cannot.

Your firmware will be listed on the box or in settings/about phone info

If you have the newer firmware, you could possibly "downgrade" to the m15020 d or e version.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] henovec:
Downgrade new LG-M150 phones

By now downgrade is the best solution to unlock this device with M15020L/M/N firmware. If someone with the older firmware (E,D) that actually can be unlocked, pls submit it so we can downgrade, even when we'll still need a method to do so, cause there's no LGUP DLL for this model yet.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] danielnogo:
Hey all, I am looking for some advice. I just bought this phone a couple days ago it's refurbished, when I boot my phone up, it gives me the "custom unlocked" indicator that tells me the phone is rooted, but I have no super su or any of the other tools needed to utilize root. It seems like they rooted it and upgraded it to nougat before giving it to me. While I enjoy nougat, there are many apps that won't work because it is rooted, and without supersu and root capabilitities, I cant hide the root from them, or do lots of other things I would like to do.

What is the procedure for flashing super su onto a phone that is already "unlocked"?

Experienced with rooting phones but having it halfway through the process like this has made me really nervous to try anything without some instructions.

Thanks in advance for any help you provide!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] bladez:
Are you sure you have Verizon Note 5 (e.g. N920V)? As far as anyone knows the Verizon model is unrootable and with a locked bootloader, so if you have a rooted Verizon Note 5 (which I highly doubt), some people might be interested in taking a look at it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] danielnogo:
I am 100% positive, it has the verizon logo on the back and it is the note 5. Keep in mind I dont have any root capabilities, but apps such as mario run, netflix,, and samsung fitness, either don't want to download through the normal channels, or won't run once i download them from places like aptoide. It sucks because i've paid for many of these apps and i cant use them because its saying im rooted. For instance samsung fitness gives me a message saying due to a new security policy they dont allow the app to run on rooted phones.

Honestly though I would love to downgrade to marshmallow, many apps have serious glitches with this nougat update on my phone. It's incredibly slick looking but apps like gta san andreas have major graphical glitches, and audio in apps like fl studio mobile can be really glitchy and testy at times.

I can upload some photos of my phone and the screens im talking about if youd like.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] firstblud:
I've been browsing a lot the past few days and just want to make sure my understanding is correct.

Here's my current situation:

- Installed TWRP 3.1.1 with magisk 14.0 rooted on stock 10j

Are my following assumptions correct?

- Firmware version and ROM must match. For example, i can't have a 10p firmware and a 10q ROM.

- Kernel can be any version regardless of the ROM version. For example, I can have 10k kernel with a 10r ROM

Question:

1) With TWRP and root, would I be able to downgrade ROM version if I'm on 10r (using https://xdaforums.com/v20/developme...shable-zip-t3681312/post74037281#post74037281 )?

2) Is the ROM from the link above including kernel update as well? Does that mean a ROM always overwrites the kernel and if I want to customize the kernel, i'll have to flash it after applying a ROM?

Thanks
