Hi,
I want to flash the I9500XXUAMDE_I9500OJKAMD9_ILO.zip Stock ROM (Full hebrew , designed for GT-i9500) on a factory unlocked AT&T SGH-i337 using ICS 4.2.2.
I tried flashing it using both Odin and TWRD recovery with no avail.
IMHO the problem is with the CSC , I cannot change my CSC to ILO.
I hope there is a walkthrough for this.
In the worst case I need ANY FULL HEBREW (with RTL menus) Stock ROM (with no AT&T apps) for SGH-i337. :fingers-crossed:
THNX ALOT
That would be very, very unwise.
I9500 has the exynos octacore system while the i337 (and i337M and i9505) have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 silicon.
If you manage to flash that i9500 rom into an i337, you would be pretty much guaranteed to hard-brick the phone.
There are very good reasons why the variants of these phones have their own sections of forums
NO!!! Dont do it! You'll hard brick your phone
yes its possible. but it will hard brick it for sure.
THnX AlOt GuyZZZ :good:
It seems I inadvertently bought the better phone it has the same specs as the GT-i9505 which leads me to the question will the SGH-i337 support GT-i9505 ROM ? :fingers-crossed:
BTW "Brick" status (unsuited firmware flashed on hardware) is unrecoverable (physically damages the hardware) ?
I won't be able to boot into recovery/DL mode and flash a working ROM ?
Had a friend flash a i9500 rom as soon as the att g4 was released. He visited the jtag box. HARD BRICK. No you can not run those roms. Besides, for every i9500 rom released they do a i9505 rom also..or very soon after. In my guide is the list of i9505 roms that will work for you.

yes they are; root, install recovery (one click three way is easiest, and who DOESNT like a good three way?), and make sure its an auto-loki ROM. There are touchwiz (keep samsung features) and AOSP (no samsung features; closer to stock android), and Cyanogen nightlies that have several issues.
I am running Goldeneye 1.3, Ktoonsez kernel, Xposed framework with multiwindow hack, etc. 100% stable, 100% smooth; all Samsung features work fine. Based on an international ROM, and screen smear is fixed, camera is quicker too.

Hi Axman,
In this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295557 is there a ROM with Full RTL Hebrew menus ? that's is the prime attribute I'm looking in a ROM right now.
Let's be more specific unlike what you've said currently there is no "Hebrew" ROM for the GT-i9505 (official in sammobile.com or non-official) is there a way/is it possible to customize the current official GT-i9500 Stock (meaning no carrier apps, am I correct ?) Hebrew ROM http://hotfile.com/dl/207318277/2500212/I9500XXUAMDE_I9500OJKAMD9_ILO.zip.html to work on SGH-i337 device ? If yes, how hard is it ?

again, the link you have here is for the i9500 stock right? And you are trying to flash on i337 att, it will brick, This is NOT good. maybe you can ask the dev of that rom, and see if he has any way you can do this.
I am not for sure about this, but I think Wanam and Omega roms have hebrew.
I could be wrong, but upon first boot, it has many language options.

Is there an SGH-i337 (or similar) ROM emulator for Win 7 x64 ? I want to check these ROM's while keeping my phone intact.
I know there is an Android emulator for Eclipse but I don't recall if you can boot up entire ROM with it,

There is one, as soon as my tech arrives, I will get some info on it. It is SLOWWWW
on windows, but it lets you emulate the booting of the rom, pretty cool. But I can't stand the slow thingy
Is that what you are looking for?

Hey Ax , Sorry for the lag I was hell busy this weekend...
I don't need something fancy , just something that will let me check the ROM's initial boot and config.
I could give it a try what's the program's name ???
I wonder why there isn't an Android OS emulation option in Orcale VirtualBox
One Q is very important - does the factory unlocked (GSM free) feature is ROM dependent or it's built in (flashed in) the device (e.g my SGH-i337) ?

ROMs take time to port. It isn't as simple as just changing a few config files and recompiling. There are proprietary drivers, etc. that have to be figured out first.
Be patient. It'll come.
Well no offense but until they create the port and include the features from stock your losing functionality not gaining speed.

Methinks that we all need to show a little patience. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but it is my belief that until we can unlock our bootloaders, we cannot flash third-party ROMs, no?

No.
Also there is already a CM10.1 alpha build available. It doesnt do anything though and you dont even have data on it. As others said we need to get proprietary drivers and such sorted out to have anything usable. It will happen, just takes time. Hopefully Nexus 5 rumors are true because if so we will have a ton of great AOSP support really easily on this phone then too since drivers would be nearly (completely?) identical.
Bout how long do you guys think? The S4 was pretty fast to get a stable Cyanogen mod up
screw cm Omnirom is coming lol
Just wondering if there is anything special to know about rooting etc on the G2. Or is it as simple as others? I have had MANY android phones from Xperias to Galaxy's, htcs and most recently the Nexus 4.
Is there a noob guide on here I can't find much but admittedly I'm on Tapatalk at the minute.
How do I unlock boot loader or even can I?
Can I just fastboot flash a custom recovery?
What is this root checking that voids warranty is it like Samsung yellow triangle?
Sorry if any of this is stupid but I've never had an LG.

first things first what model of g2 do you have/ are planning on getting(to recommend proper rooting method), anyways I recommend ioroot for rooting your device(easiest way and lots of support), second to unlock bootloader and flash roms/kernels without issues you need to loki your device or get a twrp/cwm with loki built in to it. As for flashing recovery the easiest is to use freegee from the play store and choose which recovery you would like to use, once rooted the root check is in download mode it will say if it's rooted or not but using lg flash tool and going to stock removes this and there aren't any stupid questions if I do say so myself. Hope this helps any thing else let us know

That does help thanks I've learnt to ignore the unhelpful and ignorant.
It is just the international version it should arrive tomorrow. So from what I understand I can follow any root and boot loader unlock guide that matches my version. And can fully return to stock with no traces or issues?

yea pretty much as long as you don't flash the wrong file everything will be smooth anyways this is the international thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development-d802) so you can sart planning what you want to do once it arrives and trust you gonna love it

(both recoveries include loki already)
As a last note if by any chance you want to try stock kitkat (you can try official without root by flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2664933 through lg flash tool) or if you root first you can try(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2665985) although you will lose custom recovery and need to use the flash tool to jump down to stock jb and start again have fun :fingers-crossed:
Similar Situation but with Sprint
Hello, I'm kinda in the same situation. except the G2 is with Sprint.
First, i'd just like to say that i can root, twrp, custom with quite a few HTC and Samsung phones but have yet to tackle an LG. It's actually my girlfriends. I told her not to accept any updates when she recieved the phone today from the local Sprint Store. So as it stands she's completely stock to my knowledge. I've included pictures.
Since she's on Sprint and NOT International, i can only assume the guides that you posted to help our other friend will not help me(or at least to an extent). I'm definitely not opposed to reading and learning, just really unsure where to start as the G2 is only split on the carrier level at Development. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

the rooting works with the g2 as long as it's stock 4.2.2 and the recovery guide for twrp plus 2.6.3.3 from here(http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/g2spr) should work but I did see somewhere that an update to the sprint model added some spark thing(I don't know what it is exactly) that does not play too well with custom kernels
on another note the reason for it splitting on a carrier level is so that no one flashes something that isn't for them which would cause lots of unwanted problems but of course if you want a rom for your model you head over to the sprint thread look for the one you want and flash away, and always remember to have a backup it can save your phones life someday

also forgot to mention there are other methods of flashing recoveries from play store like freegee, goo manager, rom manager, etc but I did not include because I am not sure wether they include loki or not which is important if you wanna flash certain roms and mainly different kernels
Wow that's some great help and info there mate thanks for all the help! Seems like everything I need all in one place. Its out for delivery today so will hopefully be playing with it by this evening.
From what I can tell from a little reading there isn't a UK KitKat officially yet at the minute? Is there any I can manually flash with minimal to zero bloat? Just standard LG software?

Well like I mentioned before if you root first you can flash this(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2665985) if done correctly you keep root but will lose recovery because as of yet there isn't one and since its international bloat is minimal unlike when it's from an American carrier
Once you root, using freegee to install recovery is trivial and yes it includes Loki.
I used ioroot to root my G2 and I have no complaints, everything went through smoothly

Thanks a bunch! It seems as though this is going to be unexpectedly simple!
I highly doubt I'm going to be flashing anything other than a modified stock Rom for her. Stability, battery life, with no bugs is all I'm looking for as it's not my phone. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Also, I get why they're split at the development level, it's just that running through the QA and General sections is a little tougher. I do so appreciate all the help and advice!

Replacing factory firmware!!!
Hello,
i Am newbie here, recently i brought a LG G2 D802 supposedly from a EU store and i am in Finland, but to my surprise the software firmware is Asia made, Hong Kong to be particular. it goes like this, D80210b-HKG-XX build JDQ39B kernel 3.4.0. With this original Stock software, the 4G option is not shown( i know it can be done by hidden menu but i want to get a permanent fix); the MMS setting althought i did it manually by inserting the values provided by the Network service provider.Still i am unable to get that fix.
I am in turn to contacting my seller for the correct working OPEN stock rom installed G2 but if the case does not go like that then i wish to root it to the OPEN international ROM . From what i have read, if you update then it goes back to the HKG rom, if there any way i can remove the factory rom with the OPEN Rom and receive the update OTA and it will not revert back. I have been doing my research on this but i am not able to get the answers... Hope some one will shine some light on this.
Thanks in Advance !!!
I've tried this two times and both I had the same result. I downgraded back to 4.2.2 with the D80110g_00.kdz for the tmobile g2. Then I rerooted it and added philz touch recovery. I flashed with the kitkat baseband in the cloudystock 1.1 fourm, then the rom with the patched 801 kernel after. Everything boot's up ok, and the phone works. But when I turn off the screen and back on its all grayed out with yellow lines. I have the reboot the phone for the screen to show up again. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Do the same process except do not use 80110g. Find the 80110c kdz.

same issue here. Cannot run any stock KK roms at all. I've flashed so many times and have had to return to stock. I wish this problem could be identified.
Did anyone out there figure this out?
I'm having the same problem on my device, tried several stock ROMs but nothing works even when using different basebands.
I have this problem as well and no, you're not doing anything wrong. Devs have absolutely no idea why this is happening. It seems that this is only happening with users that bought the phone and have the G build pre-installed. People that bought the phone earlier with the C build don't have this problem.
I gave up and just flashed the official KK TMO ROM with root installed. I lost my recovery but hopefully devs can get recovery on stock KK. If anything, I can always KDZ back to 4.2.2 and re-install the recovery if I want to go back to AOSP ROM's.
FWIW, I bought the G2 a week ago. When did you get yours?
I think you hit the nail on the head with G build comment. I got my phone about a month ago from TMO and it came pre-installed. I wonder if something in the actual hardware is ever so slightly different with the latest G2s...
I flashed with the C build and it didn't fix it also, guess I'll stay on 4.2.2 till there is a official kitkat root.
Anyone around in this thread with the line problem willing to test a kernel?

How do you find if you have G or C build? I thought all tmobile g2's are c build. I am getting mine tomorrow, hope it is shipped with JB rom - if so, i think it will be better to stay. After reading a bit, i heard many say tot method is working fine as explained here.
Which rom (xd thread?) are you using? Does wifi calling work?

If you go to software you can see the build, it either ends with C or D. Most likely D since you'll just be getting it. And it will be JB not KK. There's a new AutoRec file that gives KK users recovery, but since you'll be getting the D version, you'll most likely have the white line glitch issue. There's a way around it, just PM me for further questions and I'll help ya out.

Do the same process except do not use 80110g. Find the 80110c kdz.

same issue here. Cannot run any stock KK roms at all. I've flashed so many times and have had to return to stock. I wish this problem could be identified.

I am in the same boat as most these people.. bought my phone a week ago, i am rooting as i type. Will probably have the issue and completely willing to test a kernel. Should i flash your rom as well first?

Hmmm.. so i have a completely stock g2 non rooted (working on rooting right now actually) but when i go into settings, my build number ends with an 'A' ?? not c, d or g.... what does this mean? Man, rooting seemed so much easier on my HTC or samsung phones! No complaints though, i love this phone

It does seem confusing, but I promise you that it's a bit more painless than you think. I'm assuming your phone did indeed ship with TMO KitKat? Then in that case, once you're done rooting, all you have to do is install the AutoRec apk and that's it! Let me know if you need a link for AutoRec.

Mackster I'm on 4.2.2 which is rooted, is there anyway I could use a custom kitkat rom without getting the white lines? I dont want to keep downgrading everytime it happens.
Hi Everyone,
Im using an att LG G2 with Paranoid Android installed; I bought the phone at release I am pretty sure and through att. I believe it to be PA version 3.4 and Android version 4.3.1 from looking af the about phone settings. Basically Ive had this phone on loan to someone for about a year and it is just bogged down with shovelware. Netflix wont even load. I was comfortable playing around with ROMs before but ive been in the Ios scene lately and am out of practice. I have some recoveries but I'm concerned with having not played around on the phone's root for several years now so I'd rather not use something that may be incomplete.
My main concern is having the phone back to its speed from before, getting rid of all of the apps, and starting fresh. Id like to keep PA, hopefully upgrade to the latest version, but if i can just factory reset that works too. I'm pretty sure i could reinstall PA starting from scratch with a clean phone. I've been through the forums different times and I really do find that the info is all consolidated well. I hope I don't come accross as lazy or unwilling to search, I just had a bad experience flashing my Galaxy S2 so whenever I'm not certain on the process I try to consult with people more involved.
Thank you all for your time,
Andrew Rapp
Forgive me but I've had this phone on the shelf for a bit and am seeing now that paranoid Android is relatively dead. That'd be unfortunate since I really dug the interface! But if it really is no longer being supported would anyone have a suggestion on a ROM upgrade? Thanks again!
Cm13 or 12.1 both available with a few variants based on them just give them a whirl.

I had CM back on my s2! I could get down with checking it out again. Going through their website is a lot of helpful information, however, most of it seems to be garnered at first time users. I'm using this guide here:
https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_d800
and I'm curious if I can skip the first half (installing a custom recovery); because I'm pretty sure I have one installed already from when I flashed PA. How would I go about checking?
Just reboot into recovery to check the version.
But it would be best to update to TWRP 2.8.73 (latest version).

So once I've updated TWRP (which I do have installed) I can skip that first half and just do the second part? Thanks for the help btw; really trying to bring the phone back to life since I love the screen and size
If you have flashed Roms before you know the rule, read the first post then read it again then read it a third time
Make sure you have the correct bootstack, I suggest the official CM ROM to start with by Drastic then you can always try the others AICP,Bliss,ResurrectionRemix and Crdroid.
I like AICP for the customisations been on it for a couple of days to try out.

I know, being cautious to a fault here >_< I just ended up using flashify to update twrp; that was easy enough. I'll use the app to make a back up I believe and then try following instructions on the website! Thanks for all your help, hopefully I won't need to return XD but still keeping the topic open just in case!
Nope! I get an error when trying to install the CM zip file. In red it says:
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1KI-d800.zip'
I was able to get in what appears to be a broken CM installation, which fortunately includes file system exploration and messaging. Accessing the phone from the computer is no problem either. Any idea what the issue here may be?
Bump!
Not sure to be honest,if you have followed the steps in the OP post up in the thread by @drastic and I am sure the more knowledgeable will help you solve the problem.

Ahhh thanks! Yeah I'd been doing the 12.1 downloads from the CM site but yeah that process seems to be the same. Could it be possible that my something weird had been done with the person I loaned the phone too? He liked to tinker and I wouldn't put it passed him to have done something funny with it, or even I before having loaned it. Coud the bootstack be an incorrect? Is there a way I could check?
Can you get the phone back to stock Lollipop,if you think he has played around this may be the best option.

I was thinking that'd be the best option; just to start everything over. Would that process be extensive? I'm on a work computer so I can use recovery and get the files on my phone but anything too complex or needing me to use installers I'll probably have to wait until tomorrow

Should give you all you need, it could take an hour or two but will give you a fresh start.
