Hey guys,
Can you help out with a newbie question.
Im running android 4.4.2 on a rooted I9505 flashed with GPE edition rom. Im currently running I9505XXUEMKF baseband on a I9505 recognised as I9505G. On meteor network in Ireland.
My problem is Id like to get OTA updates, but these fail as I have TWRP installed. As I understand it this can be overcome by reflashing the stock recovery. Is this correct?
So my question then is how to know which stock recovery to flash? & can I do a backup of the current one I have installed in case something goes wrong?
Looking at this thread in development subform. & several are listed.

Hi, I'm new here and I'm wondering if somebody can help me with a my problem here.
I've just got a new Galaxy S4 GT-19505 on 4.2.2
The baseband is 19505XXUBMF8.
I want to install a Google Play Edition rom however none of the threads specify my baseband version, so i didn't want to go ahead and flash a rom which could potentially screw up my phone.
Is there a rom I can flash on my baseband that wouldn't be a problem?
I'm rooted and have PhilZ Touch recovery installed so it's just finding a rom that is compatible.
Thanks
Anybody?
Baseband on the i9505 cannot be flashed via recovery, only in download mode. This is why all ROMs that are flashable through recovery do not include a baseband. You can flash any ROM you like, the baseband will remain unchanged.
is the output quality of the camera the same even if the phone is running google play edition OS, ie. didn't downgrade or something?
i like to the i9500/i9505 for the camera but i hate touchwiz and all that bloat. thanks!
Hi guys. I recently flashed stock jellybean 4.3 on my S4 and am now hoping to re-root and install a new custom rom but would like a little help before I proceed.
I was using omega rom previously on 4.2 and enjoyed it so was hoping to install version 14 on my updated phone.
My problem is that I need to choose between one of the two tar files available dependant on whether I have the old bootloader XXUB or the new bootloader XXUD. Where do I find out which bootloader I have? My baseband version is i9505xxuemj7.
My second question is (sorry noobish!) can I install clockworkmod and then flash this pre-rooted rom or must I root before flashing clockworkmod and then install the rom?
If Im asking in the wrong section or am being a total noob I do apologise. I have only rooted once previously and came from years of 'ahem' apple iphone use
Any help greatly appreciated guys.
Basically, I lost my root when updating to Lollipop GPE on my regular S4. I didn't realize this before I deleted my backup (stupid idea I know).
I did find this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2794879) which, from what I assume, I can just install and my phone will go back to 4.4.4 rooted but here is my problem. Since I installed Lollipop GPE rom on my phone the model number is now I9505G even though I originally didn't buy that version of my phone, so do I flash the I9505G rom (GPE) or the regular I9505?
If it helps, I'm with bell in Canada and I was installing jfltecan roms before this all occured.

Jfltecan is refered to the model: SGH-i337M. Try to reflash the stock ROM for your model via ODIN.
Hello, I apologize if this has been covered before (I've been only able to find information regarding 4.4.2 to 5.0) but I am wondering if I would have any issues with updating to Jasmine ROM from 4.3 for my Verizon Note 3 that is being used on T-Mobile's network. My phone is already rooted so I would just need to install Safestrap and flash the new ROM correct? Sorry again for the very basic question; I am very new to flashing. Thanks in advance for any help!
Hey guys,
Was wondering if some one could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it!
I have a modified Rogers Samsung Galaxy s4 with the following attributes and I want to upgrade to lollipop 5.0:
1)Ni2 BaseBand
2)Sim Unlocked
3)AWS Enabled (Currently on WIND network)
4)Running Stock 4.4.2 firmware, however has clockwork mod recovery.
5)Rooted with Odin r
I want to do a factory wipe as the phone is getting quite laggy an d then install a clean version of lollipop with one of those new roms on it (Goldeneye). My question are:
1)If I do a factory reset will I have to enable AWS again in order to work on WIND? Is it possible on that updated modem?
2)Can some one point me to the proper thread, I tried looking with no success of anything that aligns with my specific situation .
Thanks for your help
First first you néd to upgrade to stock lollipop via odin late root+recovery (twrp work fine) ●●●●
