[Q] Samsung S4 help needed... Please - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I bought Samsung S4 mobile in Dubai Aug 2013 and I used it in India now.
Here are the specifications.
Model: GT-I9505
Model name: Galaxy S 4 LTE
Country: France (Assuming based on my default language)
Version: Android 4.3 (Upgraded on December through samsung kies)
PDA: I9505XXUEMKF
CSC: I9505OXXEMK3
MODEM: I9505XXUEMKF
I has been using the mobile from September 2013. Initially, it was working fine, but after a month, the phone has been restarting randomly (but frequently) and starts with its default language (which is French). Also the phone heats up nearby the SD card slot. I searched the forum and came to know that the problem might be with battery or SD card. So, I removed my SD card and used my phone and it has been working fine without SD card and there was no issues till last week. The same problem comes up last week. I tried Factory Data reset and wiped cache too. But, the restart and heat problem occurs frequently.
Kindly suggest me a solution for me.. Appreciate the help!!!
Thanks!!!

Ask in GT-I9505 forum. You posted in wrong forum. This forum is for American S4 Active vesions and international S4A GT-I9295
Maybe some apps running in backgroubd are causing this? Did you rooted it?

In the future, you probably don't need to touch the font button, sans serif is always easier to read...
Have you installed a custom ROM? Have you overclocked the device or played with the Governor at all? Try installing something like greenify or clean master that will keep your CPU from being over worked with too many apps.
The fact that it restarts on its own makes me think there is either a hardware or firmware issue. Have you tried doing a factory reset? Have you recently updated the software? If not, is there an update you should consider making?

[Q] How do I root my Telstra Galaxy Note GT-N7000B?

G'day all.
I've been searching, and I'm unsure on what to use to root my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000B (Telstra). It's a slightly different model number, and I just want to know is there a way to root the thing and install CWM without bringing up a triangle and increasing the counter? I already purchased MobileOdin btw.
Model: GT-N7000B
Firmware: GINGERBREAD.DVLC1
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-N7000BDVLC1-CL1006149 [email protected] #2
Baseband: N7000BDVLB2
Thanks
Have you tries superoneclick, rooting will remove the Telstra ****

Nope, no go, it's not directly rootable. Has anyone rooted an N7000B?
Why would you want to root it, that's what your wife or gf is for. jokes aside let me know how you go I just got mine on Tuesday and am yet to root it .
Well I am not sure if anyone has tried an N7000 rom on an N7000B. I didn't want to end up with a shiny new brick, thats why I asked here. I already have done a search and all I got was vague answers. Has anyone successfully flashed/gained root access on an N7000B?

I'm sure it would be fine. I am running ics on my N7000 but shows as I9220 in baseband as it's based on Chinese leak ROM with same hardware.

I would also like to know this. My phone is exactly as above (also from telstra au)
...I dont really care about the yellow triangle or counter though(I can sort that out later when there is more support for this model)
I would like to be sure that the process will not brick the phone, this would suck as its only 2 days old .
best if I know that someone else has done it first
thanks.
The n7000b is just a firmware. you can flash another firmware (and it will not brick your phone). the only down side to this is you won't be able to go on the telstra mobile websites, eg. mobile foxtel,
Anyone brave enough to try to root this one?
I just got my note today and would really like root access....
bump
I'm interested in seeing how this goes as well. The itch to root and flash something better than Telstra's rubbish is growing but I am nervous about the process (it seems vastly different to my old Desire).
I find the stock rom not too bad.. GREAT battery life, the only thing I want root for is to record my calls (use it for work).
I have a call recorder installed on my stock Note that doesn't require root. Got it off the market too.
It's called Call Recorder.....

I had a galaxy note n7000b and I downgraded thw firmware to a rootable version then went feom there, seems to be working fine except my wifi (everytime I try to use it it freezes) but other then that it seems fine, hope this helps

isnt mobile foxtel just an app...
Anyone done this yet?
I tried the call recorder apps off the Market but none seem to record properly, they just use the speaker.
My note originally from Poland (!) bought via UK back in early November (can't believe I've had my wonderful toy for over six months now!) Given that there were very few Notes back then and next to none in Oz, I was very nervous about rooting and flashing - the challenge you are facing today. I spend many days reading nearly all the threads before biting the bullet and doing my first root!
All I can recommend you do is read Dr Ketan's flashing guide very carefully and make sure you have a backup. I've had a few nervous moments with black screen but always been able to recover by rebooting into recovery and restoring a backup. I'm on Telstra and never had a problem with any firmware I've used (I don't using Telstra Foxtel)
I know that the latest version requires you to flash an older version of ROM before you can root, but once done you can remove all the annoying rubbish and use great programs like Titanium backup to backup and restore the apps you want and freeze the CPU hogs!
I hope that helps you - my experience was different and I felt very alone the first few times I flashed (never having done it before) but the forums have been a godsend in helping.
PS I have never used Mobile Odin - I have found that CWM does all I need it to
So if the WiFi freezes on the N7000B, would it use a different WiFi chip or something? I did hear that the N7000B supports 5GHz and 2.4GHz where the N7000 supports 2.4 only. Not sure if this is true
Hi, I've had the n7000B for awhile now. and flashed most of the firmwares from n7000 model with no problems. been on GB, ICS. all spec about these models are the same. but still haven't found out why this is B on our model.
anyway it is safe to flash n7000 on n7000b!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy 7.7 change the Chinese Version into International Version

Dear Experts,
I am a really Android Newbie and a few day ago I bought here in China the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, P6800 with Chinese firmware.
Great tablet, but very limited access to international websites and apps
With the help of a friend we rooted the tablet with Odin, installed the recovery clock mod and tried to upload a new firmware. Unfortunately something went wrong. We tried everything that is possible in the mod menu (the menu where the tiny Android is in the back). We tried to recover, to update (we even extracted the recovery.img from the .tar file), used the wipe date and wipe... and did a factory reset. Nothing happens and the tablet was unable to restart and even unable to turn off. The Samsung screen freezes.
At least we went to the store where I bought the tablet and received a new one with Chinese firmware.
Now I am / we are back to beginning and would like to know more about how to change the chinese firmware into the European, at least Hong Kong Version.
I try to describe, what we would like to know, but as you know I am not an expert like you are
How to flash a firmware without using Odin from mod menu (menu, where the little Android is in the back)?
We
Where to get a suitable firmware for my tablet, that will help me to have an open version like Europe / Hong Kong?
How to flash back from mod menu to Chinese version - in worst case?
Can anybody help me?
Thanks for your kind support, Jenny

I really dont know the benefit from 10-posts limit but however... I have to post 10 posts before I can ask in Artemis ROM thread this question:
1.) To everyone how flashed with HSPL 3.03.00000, what RAM utilization do you have after opneing all tabs?
2.) To Sternas, Would it be a great idea to remove all the Windows Live and Marketplace apps which doesnt have any functionality since Microsoft gave Wndows Mobile up?
3.) To Sternas: Thank you for this ROM!

Yes the "T" in the name is just the Telstra branding, if you follow ausdims rooting thread you will be fine

The 'T' in the model number isn't branding. The phone is actually slightly different.
I have a friend who works for Telecom here in NZ and they also sell the I9305T.
He said it is optimised for use on Telecom's network (and obviously Telstra's too) it uses different modems and the antenna is different inside the phone.
They do however use the same ROMs and firmware. Anything intended for the I9305 will also work the same on the I9305T, except modems.

Anyway, Is there a ways not to use CWM recovery and use stock recovery? how can i flash stock recovery and keep root? and if i want to update to 4.1.2, can i do OTA without losing root? Thanking you in advance

Hello everyone!
New to this forum and new to Android phone. I have searched the whole forum and read through the dev-sections. Also did searches on multiple sites and through searchengines to find out what device model to use in the ToolKit...didn't find any confirming answer to my question.
As I have no posts from before, I couldn't write this in the dev-section, so I chose the thread that was closest to what I was looking for.
Question: What is the correct device model to choose in the ToolKit (I have version 7.0.0).
Information from my "about section"...
Phone: Samsung Galaxy SIII 4G
Model: GT-I9305
Android-version: 4.1.1
Build: JRO03C.I9305XXALK5
Operator: Telenor (Norway)
The options I lean towards since the only choice showing 4G, is number 21 (International 4G).
Problem is that it says it's GT-I9305N and not GT-I9305. It also says (Build JRO03C ALIA) and that does not match to my build either.
Then I look at the (International LTE), which says (GT-I9305)...which is ok.
And then number 14, which says (Build JRO03C ALK5), which is the same as mine...but it doesn't say 4G, which I have.
It might sound silly, but I really dont want to make the wrong choice here and end up having a phone that either "does not work at all"
or "does not work as it should". And before anyone says that I then should just leave it alone, my only intention at this point is to let
my anti-virus get root-access, so that the firewall works and the anti-theft works.
Hope anyone can be of help and thanks in advance.

Ok, so I rooted my device yesterday after reading through like 10 more threads...just took a chance, thought to myself "guts and glory" and went for it..went well =) I chose option 14 the build was the same as mine and it worked like a charm.
I am still left with a few quesitons though...might not be relevant to the thread anymore...
Does the rooting share the same build-match requirement as the flashing of a new operatingsystem?
How do I uninstall apps that were preinstalled on an operatorlocked phone?
Anders - Norway
I think you should look for app in app store, Root App delete or something like that. Then search for you operator apps/files and remove.

1. Bootloader is allready unlocked
2.For how to root look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255190&highlight=how+to+root
3. Flash custom recovery, would advice this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxZf39vI0Lc. Download the .tar.md5 and flash with Odin in PDA.
4. Go to the CM thread and download the latest nightly and Gapps (Google apps) and place on the sdcard.
5. Go in recovery and wipe cache, dalvik cache, format system and data factory reset and then flash the CM rom and Gapps right after another without rebooting, reboot and you`re done.
hi
hello does it matter that it's a different usb cable, its of htc because the one i got with the phone doesnt seem recognise my phone on the pc

[Q] How to use OTA with a rooted S4 Active?

Hi dudes,
hope you can help me. I had several HTCs in the last years with customs roms.
Since eight weeks I own a S4 Active (my first Samsung). As usual for me I rooted it (for Titanium Backup and so on).
Now I want to update my phone via OTA, but it says "Your device has been modified. Cannot update". It is still the stock rom on it.
I tried Trianlge Away, but it wasn´t successfull - the counter is still 1 (if it is 0, the OTA will work or not?).
What I have to do to update my S4A (I don´t want to use a custom-rom atm)? Maybe it is a dumb question - but I am a Samsung-Noob...
Thanx a lot and merry xmas to you all.
I'm looking for it as well, I saw something about it last week but I don´t remember were (wich xda post) I saw that.
I has something to do with install the root and then install the cwm original or something like this, if I am lucky to find it i post the solution in here for you.
Hope someone help us!

I am not to sure about the OTA updates with the International version. Did you just root the phone? No custom ROM or kernel changes? I will do some research on it though. Interested for my own knowledge as well. I know there was a method for returning the counter to zero with my s3 which might be the case.
Yup, just root it! Not even installed CWM, and just by doing it it says that I have a custom ROM and cannot update. Sad...

I think you flashed a custom kernel to root your phone. Chainfire's is the only one I know?
The Problem with Triangle Away is that the counter won't go down to zero as long as you are on a modified Kernel.
So you will need to flash original stock Sammy Kernel, then use Triangle away and the counter should go down to zero.
That's my experience with this, hope this helped.

Official 5.0.2 For Tab S 8.4 LTE

Hello few hours ago can now be downloaded from SamMobile our android 5.0.2 Official for Tab S 8.4 LTE T705, times is the basis of Hong Kong but you can flash by Odin.

Is it good for european device?
Yup as long as it is a SM-T705 not a SM-T700
Do we retain phone functionality on tablet even if we flash this chinese firmware version?
Yup and it has Google Play, as the firmware is for Hong Kong
excuse me but also have the Italian language preinstalled? but it's possible make the root?
It works ok on a Italian T705. Not freaking fast but ok. Using right now.
You can root with cfroot or with twrp.

The new lollipop is really beautiful and its aorth the upgrade. Everythings work perfectly. But I notice that its a bit lag sometimes and I can deal with it. So far, very satisfied. Try it and you will surely fall in love with it. The new statusbar also make me hooked. Now waiting for rom and kernel based on lollipop, hopefully can improve the performance of this Tab S.
Someone have installed xposed?
