Hi guys
So I have an s4 and an s5. Both 4.4.2 and both rooted. I connect to a Samsung TV with screen mirror and they generally connect ok. I then launch a VPN client to get to Netflix US and as soon as i do this this it will disconnect the screen mirror. Tried a few VPN clients. I think i read before about this but cant find the link. This does not happen using a rooted s3 though so im guessing its not the fw on the TV. Any help would be much appreciated as i cant sell my s3 until i get the screen mirror working properly on the s4 or s5
Thks
Screen mirroring on the S5 works properly for me. Unfortunately you didn't give us screenshots or a detailed description of your screen mirror settings, making it impossible for anyone to review your settings or spot the problem.
We can't see what your settings are - you're more likely to get useful answers if you do that in detail.

Custom KERNEL + Screen mirror doesnt work correclty. I was told even with the S4 System status Both Binary & System must be Official.
Thats ridiculous I want my custom kernel and tweaks , does anyone know how to get official status back without flashing stock kernel?

Worked for me...Hit Thanks...
Hi Guys,
I have just realised something, this is nothing to do with KNOX, it is only the official status thing that changes when you have a custom Kernel or Custom rom.
Screen Mirroring does NOT work when you are in Custom Status, this happened to be the same when I googled and found S4 was the same post after post after post of people stating the same thing (I get an error or hardware device error when screen mirror starts or it will start for 4 seconds then stop.
For people wanting to see their status -
You can see this in Download Mode or You can see this in ABOUT DEVICE > STATUS> Scroll all the way down to bottom.
There is a solution which worked on the S4, where you were able to change status from custom back to Official, Yes KNOX is still tripped if you have tripped it but the status is able to be changed back to official
Can someone please direct me to a way we can get official status back on the S5, I love my kernel and my tweaks, and I love my latest firmware I dont care about Knox. For the people who are scared about Knox, I was able to change my phone for a new phone because of a defect and this is after I triggered knox, I was sent a new phone and I placed the old phone in the bag and sent it back, guess what ? I tripped knox again lol (who cares) most of the time when you go to swap your phone they don't check.
All I want is the official status back so I can get my screen mirroring working, this is an awesome feature
Anyone?
Am I the only person with a rooted Knox-tripped S5 with custom , Recovery,Kernel & want to use screen mirroring?
S5 Development is no where near the type of dev we had when the S3 came out, pretty sad.
I think now that the HTC + LG are up in terms of hardware many people left the samsung scene leaving less devs in the area.
Hi,
I have same promlem here. when I open screen mirroring tv and phone connects and suddenly disconnect and shows a error ''screen mirroring cant start caused by a hardware problem''.
I have sm g900h stock kernel+xtrestolit rom+cwm recowery
works fine for me

No, you aren't. For me with Knox tripped and custom recovery, kernel and NeatROM2.3 it works fine and I am in custom status.
Using Xposed app "Wanam Xposed", you can set your status to Official under the "security Hacks" section of the app.
Hi
I hope all of you are well.
I have a galaxy s4 GT I9505 with I337 bootloeader , running android 4.3 , (please see pics on attachement)
I have trouble instaling supersu on my device , I rooted my phone once using "Towelroot.apk" ,but after I reset my phone I tried the same application but it does'nt work this time
I tried hard to root the phone following the steps on this link [ http://forum.xda-developers.com
/showthread.php?t=2565758 ] , but still not rooted , I got Supersu installed but not working! .
I tried "Iroot.exe" , I got an application similar to supersu ( a chinese one ) but it doesn't function as supersu
I want to root my phone and install supersu and clockwork mode or update it through odin
Please help me on this , I am ready to provide any other details regarding the phone
Thank you in advance
Enter download mode. The model number listed there is the model number of your device. That will help us help you, but I suspect you have a frankenstein phone.

Install this APP and add some screenshots.
As suspected, this phone is a Frankenstein, meaning in your case an international ROM on an AT&T S4. Proper rooting procedures and other material for your device are here. Please note that your device is a US model and comes from a carrier that locks (i.e. encrypts) the bootloader on its devices. As a result there will be limits on what you can do with the device.
I'm tempted to trade devices as I have an I9505 here in the States, but I don't want the locked bootloader.

First: I understand from your reply that the possibility of installing Cyanogenmod or official Rom on my device is 0% :crying:
the link you sent me is about the AT&T S4 .
What if I try an AT&T Rom on my device, does that break it ? ,
second: The phone is made in Vietnam and whenever I reset it it starts with Chinese language thats why I thought it's chinese
Please see the other screenshots I attached you may find something
Thank you.
Your device IS an AT&T S4, so installing an AT&T ROM on the phone isn't going to break it. The link I provided is so that if you do wish to work with this beast you have the proper tools to do so, since none of the tools in this forum will be of any aid. However, I'm going to tell you to run, not walk, to the place you got this phone from and return it, because you will not have a good experience. The bootloader is encrypted, which makes rooting nearly impossible. If you live in a country with LTE, you may have reduced or non-existent LTE connectivity due to the LTE bands on the AT&T model S4 being different from those for the I9505.
Country of manufacture doesn't mean a thing. My I9505 was sold in England by O2, yet its country of manufacture is also Vietnam. As to the Chinese language being default, that's ridiculously simple to change in the firmware, so that doesn't mean much either. Your screenshots however, conclusively prove that I was totally correct, and this is an AT&T S4. An I9505 would have "jfltexx" as the device type, not "jflteatt".

1. IMEI is clean of one GT-I9505.
2. The device type is of one SGH-I337.
3. The Samsung Serial Number is CLEAN too.
4. You own a Franki. But looks more a GT-i9505 that one SGH-i337 (Take a look: HERE for remove carrier label).
5. COUNCIL: I will try to flash via ODIN this firmware for GT-i9505 if I was you. Do it by your own responsibility.

I can't return the phone back because I bought it 5 months ago :/ and from far place . and for the 4G we don't have this service ,so i can't confirm.
by the way , I rooted the device today with iroot and Replaced the Chinese iRoot superuser with SuperSu successfully (I found a tutori on youtube) ,but still I can't install clockworkmod , I will keep trying I may found a solution for that , if no I'll get rid of this phone -_- I may sell it to my brother since he doesn't care about the warranty or rooting stuff
anyway, for the mean time I will try the Rom sent to me by "Joku1981" and see .
Thanx again

Hello Joku
I tried with the firmware you sent me yesterday , can't be flashed . odin give me the same error
I tried with "mobile odin pro.apk" than after reboot a yellow triangle with exclamation mark appeared , see attached pic ,
can I reset the phone or it just gone no way to fix that ?
It's too far for that. You need to install AT&T firmware via Odin for the S4 to function at all, thanks to the bootloader. Hopefully the device was carrier unlocked before you bought it, otherwise you'll not be able to use the S4 without purchasing an unlock code.

Hi Strephon
I got rid of the yellow triangle by following this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUbciGy7kHc and now the phone stuck on "samsung custom"
after that I tried instaling the AT&T rom you sent me , and I got red writting I saw only when trying to instal AT&T firmware ( sv rev check fail : fused : 5, binary 1 ) , I think this is not the right ROM , I even tried the other rom for AT&T I found along with the ROM you sent me in "Sammobile.com"
I have friend who has a Box , we tried installing the rom with it , but still we can't
I think i have to find a ROM with (pda I9505ZHUEMK2 CSC I9500ZSUEMJ6) I tried few roms from here; ( http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9505/TGY/ ),but none of them worked ,
Q 1, How/where can I find rom with (pda I9505ZHUEMK2 CSC I9500ZSUEMJ6) ? Is it possible ?
Q 2 ,since I can access system recovery does that mean the original ROM still not wiped ?
Q 3 , what can I benefit from the the system recovery ?
see pics please
Thanks you.
You can't find a ROM with that PDA and CSC combination, as that combination is for two completely different devices, neither of which is your device. The only stock ROM that will install to an AT&T S4 is an AT&T ROM. No other ROM will work, and your attempts to install an incompatible ROM have, to the best of my knowledge, resulted in that indicator in your third picture.
Your ONLY means of restoring this phone to any kind of operating condition is to head over to the AT&T S4 forums and start reading. I will give you a hand though, and tell you that to eliminate the custom indicator in your third pic, you need to read through this thread on the AT&T S4 forums.
The amount of help any of us here can give you from this point on is going to be VERY limited, so head over to the AT&T S4 forums to ask your questions. The device owners in that section are far more familiar with the quirks of the AT&T S4 and will be more able to help you restore this device than we will.

Thank you Strephon for assisting me through all that.
I will see with the thread you sent me .
Take care
Thank you everybody in advance for the help you may provide.
Please could you help me to understand if i can fix my scl23?
This is the thing.
I got myself a KDI au gs5 scl23 with kitkat 4.4 and as i understand its rooted with a custon recovery, beacaus of the sim unlock, and the recovery its in japanese.
The phone works fine, but when i try to use it on ultra saving mode, its says that it`s samsung account isnt activated and doesnt allow me to change it(in the settings of the phone there isnt a way to change samsung account). So it bugs on that samsung account, and doesnt allow me to use internet and the keyboard when im on the ultra saving mode. By the way i live in Argentina and cant find anyone who speaks Japanese.
So, Trying to fix this samsung account problem i upgraded to lollipop 5.0, but it lock the phone and it doesnt get any antena signal, its says insert a sim, but there is no "no sim" mesage on the mesage board.
And now im dowloading the 4.4 firmaware files to downgrade it to 4.4 and to unlock it whith service menu commands.
Have anyone been able to unlock it with service menu on lollipop, or in any other way? Beacuase lollipop fixes the samsung account problem but olso locks the phone and installs custom AU rom, only in japanese or english laguage.
Thank you very much to everyone.
same here
This is the same thing that happened to me, did you manage to revert back and unlock the simlock on 5.0? Any luck upgrading to 5.0 and using your sim with the device.
cheers

Ended up downloading the 4.4 rom for phone again, installing that. Had to clear cache and do factory data clear to get phone booting again after downgrading. Then I was able to complete the Sim Unlock steps outlined here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/tutorial-unlock-sim-au-kddi-galaxy-s5-t2891992
Super frustrating using a phone like this, as it has so much bloatware from Japan which I just want to get rid of. But up and running now, with several replacement mods for keyboard, messenger etc
A lot of information out there, thank you internet and forums like this one for having so much information to get things working again. :victory:
Hi,
So I bought an s8 from my friend in Korea but I have some issues with it.
SM-G950N
First is that the text messaging has a 60 character limit and there are korean ads that pop up from time to time.
How can i remove them? Should I install a ROM to remove it?
Anyone can please help?
Can someone confirm this for me please?

You have 2 options, 1 is to flash an unbranded Korean firmware which should get rid of those limitations as it sounds like it's carrier specific or 2 you can flash a Rom which requires root which will in turn good Knox, so no Samsung pay and secure folder

thanks so much! i will be reading more about knox and samsung pay. but knowing that flashing a rom would work makes me happy.
by the way, you mentioned an unbranded korean firmware, is it possible for you to point me where can i get that?
again, thanks so much
Same here actually. if anybody can point out where to grab a rom that works.
Change system language and disable Korean?
