[Q] Installing Custom TW 4.3 roms on SGH-M919V

hey
So, i need help!
I have the canadian variant SGH-M919V model.
Currently I am on original stock 4.2.2 (not rooted) rom: M919VVLUAMG1_M919VYVLAMG1_M919VVLUAMG1_HOME.tar.md5
I had flashed the 4.3 modem of my model: M919VVLUEMK5 (modem.bin and NONHLSO.bin) three times via odin 3.07. So the modem did stick.
then through Philz Touch 6 CWM 6.0.4.5 AND Philz Touch 5 AND TWRP 2.6.3.1 i did complete wipe three times in both recoveries and flashed GE v14 and Omega v16 roms.
Then I booted into the system. my phone kept freezing up a lot , especially with phone dailer app, youtube app, and browser. It would FREEZE, and become unresponsive. I had to pull battery out, hard reset. Even then it kept freezing up more.
I did many wipes, and reflashed my model's (SGH-M919V) 4.3 TW modem three times again with odin (modem.bin and NONHLSO.bin) and then full wipe and installed the aforementioned roms again, same issue!
I've used GE v8.0 (4.2.2) perfectly well. No issues, it was the best rom, battery efficient!
Please note, i have the OLD bootloader from my 4.2.2 original stock rom!
What is wrong here? Can anybody help please?

First off you are in the wrong forum. This one is for the 9505 and 9500 versions of the S4 not the 919. There is a 919 forum specifically for the 919 and all its minor variants.
In that forum you will find a modified stock 4.3 ROM that let's you retain your current bootloader, doesn't install Knox, and gives you a full updated phone without all the negatives.

First off, you failed to understand. Lol, but I can see why you seem to have responded the way you did.
Secondly, my phone isn't "919", clearly you don't read well. My phone model doesn't have a forum. And NO, M919 is NOT same as M919V. My phone matches more with I337M and 9505.
M919 modified stock 4.3 ROMS aren't for my phone and services. Doesn't work.
This is a very good advice for you, please improve your reading comprehension skill.
More and more people are losing these basic skills, such a shame.

[Q] Problem with PAC-rom on my tmobile s4 SGH-M919

So I have a T-Mobile Samsung galaxy s4, and I recently rooted using Odin and then I flashed the PAC ROM (BTW I have CWM). But the problem is, sometimes when I turn my phone on , it gets stuck in a bootloop. I then have to go into CWM and clear the dalvik cache,reboot, and then it will work. And I don't think I have messed up while installing because I have previous experience in rooting and flashing. I would appreciate it if anyone had a fix to this, thanks.

[Q] Samsung S4 SGH-i337m - Can I root it normally

Hey people of XDA,
It's my first time posting so forgive me if its a repeat or dumb question but here goes my story :
I bought a used S4 that was rooted + aws enabled. It was working fine until one day it got stuck on the Samsung logo during boot. I tried clearing cache and factory resetting from the recovery but that didnt work. So I proceeded to reverting the phone to the stock rom with odin, which I got from Android rootz ( Google telus s4 stock rom, its the first link ).
So that worked, the phone booted its 4.2.2 but , no Wifi and no sound no AWS. My question are :
- Why arent the wifi and sound working if it was stock ?
- can I root my S4 following the steps in this thread : (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293800 ) ?
- does it matter which version of Android im on ? for instance, I was thinking about installing the stock kikat for telus before rooting ?
- Does it matter if i use odin 1.85 vs newer versions
THANKSSS

1. I would install 4.4.2
2. If it wont work with odin1.85 use the 3.09 version
3. Install philz touch recovery and select "clean to install a new rom" so everything will be cleaned and the wifi should work fine after flash with odin
4. root it with www.towelroot.com
5. I hope I answered all your questions

Hey,
I really appreciate your help...i just started all this stuff yesterday so lm going to look into philz touch recovery. Also I think I know how to root using odin so im just going to do that once my phone starts working ( unless that doesnt work on 4.4.2 ? )
However, Right now can i just use odin to add in kit kat stock rom for telus ( or any other stock rom for that matter - maybe the one i used was bad )? I honestly want to worry about rooting and AWS after getting the phone fully functional
Thanks again i really appreciate your help

Galaxy S4 without network signal. Please help.

First, I have a Galaxy S4 i9505 (4G), the problem does not affect my device, but the device's my cousin who is a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500 (3G).
He recently purchased the unit from another person, the unit worked well, but had a small defect in the charging connector ...
He asked me to sell one of my cases and battery why his battery was apparently bad, why was not possible give loads on the battery, I managed to solve this problem.
The problem came when he asked me to update the device to Android 4.4.2 KitKat by several improvements, I downloaded the latest firmware available at SamMobile site and after that did the flash using Odin.
Knox had in 0x1 (the unit had been modified) and I read on some forums that night, that when doing upgrade directly from 4.2.2 version, especially XXUBMGA the EFS partition changes shape, thus having little network problem and signal.
Link : http://www.grupoandroid.com/topic/83400-modem-mg9-y-posteriores-modifican-la-efs/
My questions are, it is possible to resolve this situation? I read previously that the IMEI is restored from a backup made previously it is possible to recover the network signal, but made no backup of EFS ....
I also read a long time ago that it is impossible to downgrade to ROM's with lower versions if there Knox installed.
I did the update of Android 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 using Odin.
If possible downgrade, any of you can share the ROM XXUBMGA 4.2.2 for S4 i9500? Or tell me some possible solution installing another ROM / modem?
I am currently trying different modems and using the OmegaROM in my cousin's S4.
Thx

Extract the modem.bin file from the ROM download and flash that through Odin to correct this. Or simply flash the ROM itself again if you don't want to go through the hassle of getting just the modem file out of the download. Either option will restore the network.
The IMEI in this case likely has nothing to do with the problem you're having, unless the IMEI reports itself as null or starts with 049. If you want a proper backup of the IMEI, you want to download AntaresOne's backup tool from the I9505 Development subforum and follow his instructions to make the backup.

N900 Not Rebooting System After Flash

Hi all,
I've recently been gifted the note 3 n900 and rooted it. I also installed TWRP and CWM as well, and when i go to install a ROM, it does say successfully and then at reboot, it shows the samsung galaxy note 3 screen, after that it goes blank. I've to do a battery pull to get it back and then restore a backup. I've tried many ROMs and also did rooting again, still nothing.
I've been using the galaxy s4 i9500 for about 2 years now and that is rooted and i've been flashing roms on it all year long with no problem. I'm just not sure what's going with this.
I'm currently on 4.4.2 official stock as I can't do much. Lollipop has not yet come to my region i think.
Any help would be widely appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Same Issue here but I am even not getting a samsung logo or a custom rom logo.

Hi
I had this problem for a couple of days, I found out that I flashed a incompatible rom via Odin. Can you can go into fast boot mode and tell me what it says at the top? Mine said " Couldn't do normal boot " which means the rom I flashed was not supported for my device. I went to the Samsung website to download a rom that was compatible with my device, I flashed it via Odin and it worked.
Thanks

I Just got my error fixed. U need to flash your bootloader via odin

I found that flashing the Stock Lollipop Rom worked, just as mentioned above by the above post. Yes, just by updating the bootloader i think it works. I've done it by getting the Russian stock rom from sammobile (even though i'm not in Russia), works like a charm. Really love the new feel to the note 3 n900. Just need to find a way to get permissive kernel now and ites perfect.
