How to tell if my i9505 is "International"?
As per instruction, "INTL I9505 DEVICES SHOULD USE A CUSTOM GE KERNEL TO PREVENT RANDOM REBOOTS".
How do I tell if my i9505 is an international device?
Also, what is the danger of flashing a different kernel?
Thanks,
Ian

Hi,
I have an S4 i9505 running this rom, and the Ktoosez #1 Kernel. I am interesting in flashing the alucard kernel and have downloaded the GE verison. I am just wondering if I need to run any scripts or clear any settings before I flash the alucard kernel? Or does this get done automatically when I flash? Sorry if this is a repeated question, I have done a search.

Questions
Hello everyone !
I just bought a i9505 and i have some questions about this rom !
First of all, is this rom for i9505 ?
Is every functionnality are working ? (4G and stuff)
Samedi can five me a feedback of this rom ?
Thank you for everyone answers !

question, will this work on S4 GT-I9505? sorry for being a newbie, i don't know the difference of a google play edition of i9505.

Samsung S4 "Unknown device"
Hi, out of the blue my s4 is not recognized by any computer I have, I've tried 3 different computers and the message is always the same "problem installing the driver" or "the device cannot install because the hardware malfunctioned" . I've tried in w7 and xp. Same computers in which the phone used to work perfectly, and I didn't make any changes.
I think I have tried everything now, I've reinstalled the drivers, kies, several times too but nothing. I also tried to reinstall the ROM with all the wipes, and still nothing. Of course I tried debbuging mode and without it as well. It must be a phone issue, because it doesn't work in any computer, but I don't now what it can be. I don't now what else to do.
Right now I'm running the last Danvdh 4.4 Google Edition with ktoonsed kernel, I also tried Googy, and it runs smooth as always.

Verify in settings about phone, normally none international devices specify another model number , like Canadian it says i337m or JFLTECAN. Or you can check back your battery and there is specified the model.
Install a new kernel don't have any problem, just verify the next things:
1. Kernel is compatible with your model: a lot of kernels are compatible with all i9505 models in AOSP and GoogleEdition kernel versions.
2. The kernel Zip is downloaded correctly: open the zip in any file explorer (windows or Android), if don't open is corrupt and you have yo download again. Another secure check is MD5, almost all developers give a MD5 checksum to verify the files, try to calculate your time download MD5 and compare it.
3. The kernel has to be compatible with ROM installed: there are kernels for Touch wiz, AOSP and Google editions, select the correct one. Caution with AOSP, not all AOSP-based ROMS are compatible with this kernels because has a lot of modifications, verify first in kernel forum (not in ROM forum) if is compatible.
I hope this could help you.

Don't worry, just flash the new kernel. You can clean dalvik and cache , but is not necessary.

Google Edition is just a variant of i9505, like at&t or T-Mobile, but with the difference is a clean android ROM without touch wiz and all Samsung blootware, updated by google.

Just a few questions, did you try with another cable? Sometimes USB cable have problems. Did you try uninstalling all Samsung devices and connect in PC ? Using different USB ports in PC? Did you try in Linux? Did you try connecting with other ROM like CM or Touchwiz?

Hi, I did try several cables, even different computers, nothing works. I have tried another S4 (with stock ROM) and a S3 (Alliance ROM), when I connect them to a computer in which there are no drivers installed (right after installing windows in it), the computer says SAMSUNG_DEVICE, but when I connect mine the computer says UNKNOWN_DEVICE. In computers with the drivers installed, the other two work just fine, but mine is still UKNOWN_DEVICE, or cannot complete the install due to a hardware malfunction. I tried WXP and W7. I don't have access to Linux.
At the moment I have only tried the Danvdh ROM, I've done a clean install twice already not solving the problem. I haven't tried yet another ROM because I like this one and I was hoping anyone to know what is happening. Next step is trying another ROM, but it doesn't make any sense to me.
Thanks for the response.

Device detection could depend of device sign, maybe is something with device or is a configuration in ROM or Kernel. Do you have last boot loader?

No, I don't. Can I edit the device sign with root explorer? If not,can you recommend a ROM which does it all together? I can't connect via odin either, the message is the same.

Odin I believe only works with Samsung stock ROM, you could try that just to be sure is not device problem. Check if your build.prop file in system is correct, verify it with an original build.prop (search in Google)

I tried a STOCK ROM, the problem remains. I can't understand what happened, because the USB is not broken because the computer recognizes something.. I don't understand. I don't know what else can I do.

OK, just to rewind
Cable problem ? Not, because it works with other phones.
PC problem ? Not, because it works with other phones and drivers are OK.
ROM problem ? Not, because other ROM doesn't work too.
Phone problem ? You don't think so, because it charge. But if I remember, charge USB needs only 2 pins and not the 4 one, PC communication needs the 4 pins. Try with a OTG Cable to connect a USB storage to your phone and if it's detected then I have no more ideas but if not then maybe is phone USB problem. (Hardware problem)
USB OTG is an USB cable with female USB - micro USB to connect a USB to you phone, is useful because you can connect a keyboard, mouse, USB storage and other devices. It works with the 4 pins and maybe help to detect where is the problem.

I just bought the USB DOCK in eBay, I'm going to replace the hole piece. I'll let you know what happened. Thanks a lot.

Hi at all I represent my problem with news:
If I skip manually tracks volume remain equal for all tracks, but if I don't touch the phone and tracks changes automatically at the end of one, the next track has an upper volume. To normalize the volume of this track I have to change track to another and then return to this one...
I've tried also to change from MUSICFX to DSP manager but nothing change.
I puntualize that only volume changes, not EQ presets not applied or other.... only volume locks on upper db..

So the device driver is already installed but still no connection, maybe you should turn on usb debugging, try this:
Go to Settings, Developer options and check USB debugging then connect your usb. If it doesn't work, then your ICS update may have caused the problem. You may have to restore your tablet to HC and recheck your usb connection before upgrading to iCS. Good luck!
Did you try this?
Under Settings/Storage there is a menu in the upper right corner.
Open it and then check MTP.

Good info, I wonder if the ICS update disabled this setting? That would definitely cause the usb connection problem.
I know from the GNEX that it happens sometimes if you're flashing a custom ROM so I thought it might be the same case here.
I just updated to .17 today and I'm still having the same issue he is. I haven't tried installing the driver, but my TF101 doesn't connect...
I updated from the .zip here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546113
I guess it may be because I had the problem before the update so the simple update didn't fix it.
Is flashing the .zip from this thread like a new ROM? Will it wipe my data??

Did you try Nebucatnetzer's advice on Post #10, that may help? Click the MTP off and on a few times just to make sure then leave it on.
Yeah I did try that, and I turned on USB Debugging as well just to see if it would work. Still no luck Does anyone know if the ROM from the "[UPDATE] CWM - Stock + Root - 9.2.1.17 US Updated pi/2012" thread does a full wipe like it's a new install? Or is it just the update itself?
Quick question, what is your Bxx serial? Asus started changing code midstream in the B70 tabs, I have one of them and it's acting differently from my B50. That's one reason I favor an ota update rather than manual, the update codes may be different for different serials.
At this time I suggest a full backup then a factory reset to stock Android. You may have to go through a lengthy update process so make sure you're plugged in and fully charged first. Good luck!

Mine is a B50. The reason I manually updated is because I rooted it a long time ago.... Anyway, I'm going to do that and just let the OTA's roll through. Hopefully I get my USB connection back! Thanks for the help!

Good for you, my B50 is doing great after ICS and yours should be no different. Make sure your wifi is exclusively servicing your tab so there's no interference. Be patient, it will finish in due time. Talk to you later!
If we already have this thread. Does any one have an idea why adb can't see my TF?
Driver is installed, devices shows up under device manager and I can access the storage. But adb isn't working. USB debugging is checked.
It works with my GNEX though.
Updated to ICS, lost root and usb connection. I have the drivers installed and nothing happens. I've messed with MTP, USB Debugging and nothing works. If I boot the transformer into recovery and then connect it to my PC it can see the connection but does not have the proper drivers for it though.

Can't connect to pc with USB cable

Hi is anyone have the same problem with there S4 connecting to PC with USB cable. I have all the drivers installed and I also tried connecting to another pc and same problem.. I also tried 2 cables and no good. I can connect with cable with odin but I can't move files with windows explorer.
So you have tried this on 2 pc's correct, you have keis loaded on both? Are you sure usb debugging is enabled in the dev section?
Are we guessing what phone you have here? Is it a iPuke S4?
Noobs: if you need help, and an accurate help...use this when asking, MAKE IT LAW!
1) What model phone
2) What Kernel
3) What recovery
4) and any other information you can provide.

I had the same issue as you op, and unfortunately I don't have a good solution. The only thing that fixed it for me was flashing a different rom. I was on Jedi and it wouldn't let me connect to PC (at first, it worked fine but a day later it stopped).
Flashing another rom (mint) fixed it for me.

Not sure if serious. Jk, thanks. But I still think I could have figured out a better solution than completely ditching a rom.
I tried everything listed, from updating drivers to trying to mount the phone through twrp. Nothing worked, even re-flashing the rom, so that gave me the idea to try another.

Did not mean it that way, first troubleshooting step should be, are you having the same issue on another rom, if 2 roms have the issue, it is a more serious problem, but as you tried, it is a issue with that rom, so that person can find answers in that rom thread.
calmness sir, it was all in good meaning.

OK, I337 rooted, unlocked, Goldeneye 7/10 ROM, 3.4.0-917495 kernel, USB debug enabled, running Net10/TMo, via *#0808# set to RNDIS+DM+MODEM, and AWS enabled via *#0011# OP process (I'm now getting 14.3M downloads off H+). wifi-Kies is Titanium frozen, as is restored crapware std email client. I had this problem once before when I left USB setting at RNDIC+DM+MODEM without completing the QPST process, but all was well after I did it right. Only other change I'm aware of is that I installed the Samsung USB drivers for the S3 so I could do the same AWS fix for the wife's i747. Anyway, the Samsung don't show in device manager now, even after reinstall the S4 drivers. Get a phone beep on plugging in, that's it. I plug her S3 in, get beep, screen says connecting as media device, windows 7 says installing drivers, via windows update, and eventually gets it done, saying "USB composite, sgh-i747, CDC/ACM, and ADB interface" (as shown), much as with S4 when it's usb driver install is successful. A puzzlement for a noob, for sure; clearly it's inside the S4, as when I try usb connect into an XP 'puter, while I get the phone beep, there's no usb recognition by the XP either.

To mighty developers: Can ROM cause problems or damage USB connectivity?

Can ROM somehow cause problems with USB recognising of my SGS4 I9505 ?
Charging is fine, but can't be recognized by PC.
Shall i try this damaged SGS4 with other ROMs flashing with custom recovery and SD card, or it can only be hardware problem, so no need to try other ROMS ?
My question is simple and i need simple answer (like yes or no). I won't explain how many threads i've checked- simply i'll tell what i've tried.
1. Dozens of cables
2. Few different laptops with different OS
3. A lot USB ports
4. Cleaning phone USB port
5. Replacing with another 2 USB boards from other SGS4
6. Hard phone cache and factory reset
7. Delete all drivers, reinstall em, also KIES, Error code i receive in device manager is 43. Tried to force Samsung drivers for this device, it accept them, but gives error code 10 - device can not start.
Phone can't be recognized in all modes. Last time it was connecting properly was when i flashed last ROM with Odin. It is STOCK rom. - I9505XXUHOB7_I9505YBTHOB7_DBT-Stock ROM Galaxy s4 and it has received several updates OTA from Samsung.
I have 2 more SGS4 which connects and works fine with all cables. They have never been flashed or rooted.
Shall i try this damaged SGS4 with other ROMs flashing with custom recovery and SD card, or it can only be hardware problem, so no need to try other ROMS ?
THANKS a lot in advance !!!

Shall i try this damaged SGS4 with other ROMs flashing with custom recovery and SD card, or it can only be hardware problem, so no need to try other ROMS ?
My question is simple and i need simple answer (like yes or no). I won't explain how many threads i've checked- simply i'll tell what i've tried.
1. Dozens of cables
2. Few different laptops with different OS
3. A lot USB ports
4. Cleaning phone USB port
5. Replacing with another 2 USB boards from other SGS4
6. Hard phone cache and factory reset
7. Delete all drivers, reinstall em, also KIES, Error code i receive in device manager is 43. Tried to force Samsung drivers for this device, it accept them, but gives error code 10 - device can not start.
Phone can't be recognized in all modes. Last time it was connecting properly was when i flashed last ROM with Odin. It is STOCK rom. - I9505XXUHOB7_I9505YBTHOB7_DBT-Stock ROM Galaxy s4 and it has received several updates OTA from Samsung.
I have 2 more SGS4 which connects and works fine with all cables. They have never been flashed or rooted.
Shall i try this damaged SGS4 with other ROMs flashing with custom recovery and SD card, or it can only be hardware problem, so no need to try other ROMS ?
THANKS a lot in advance !!!

You need drivers I've ran into this multiple times. What OS are you running on your computer?

PLS ! Read 1st post !
Just need to know has ROM anything to do with USB connectivity?
So should i bang my head and search for flashing without custom recovery, root and USB connectivity !? Is there any chances to flash that way another rom, an will it fix usb connectivity ?
If ROM has NOTHING to do with usb connectivity- then i'll just leave it that way! It is simple ! But no simple answer yet

Download mode is separated from the rom. So no, the rom has nothing to do with usb connectivity while in download mode. Another rom will not fix your problems.

But simply- i've explained that i have 3 abolutely equal phones GT i9505 and other 2 has connectivity and it is all fine with them, also it is written that i have wiped all drivers and reinstall em several times.
Do you think that there are special drivers for third Galaxy s4 ?

Whenever I try to connect my phone to the PC it says "USB device not recognized"

Whenever I try to connect my phone to the PC it says "USB device not recognized"
Was thinking about copying some files from the PC to the phone when suddenly it doesn't recognize it. Could it be that the micro USB port on the phone is broken somehow? All I can do right now is charge the phone. Is there something I can work around to fix it on my own or do I have to take it for the repair?
Think you need to get it to the repair. First try another USB cable. Then you can try to get it on the other rom or factors reset it to make certain how it is a USB port & not the software even actually chances for that are slim.

Well, there is no dust in the port and I don't think that it got "weared out" or something since the phone is not that old. I was trying CM 11 and then went to stock to try something out and when I wanted to copy some files to the phone the PC couldn't recognize it. And I flashed the newest firmware from Sammobile with Odin which got out September 27th and it all started after I flashed it. The worst of all I am also experiencing some weird bugs like the wallpaper turning black when I drag apps over to move them to another screen on home which is gone after I reboot the phone. So this new firmware is for sure buggy, and the worst of all I can't get to an older version because the PC can't recognize the phone anymore. Jeez this is screwed up.
EDIT: Okay a bit more digging around on my PC and I found that if I uninstall the driver in the Device Manager that has an exclamation mark when I connect my phone the "connected" sound is played on the PC and it starts installing a driver and then I get the error message. So I guess it's this stupid firmware.

Shore you can, though sideload. ?
Oh, but how do I do that? I guess it has to do something with the phone's stock recovery or something.

Actuality forget it and use FlashFire instead it's more simple.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/flashfire-t3075433/post59962696#post59962696
Did you try on another PC or with another cable? If you did my bet is that it's not software but broken USB connector on the phone (plenty of those on alk S3's including Neo's).
Best regards.

No, I didn't try it on a differrent PC yet but I will. As for this FlashFire thing, it says it's for rooted devices, and my phone right now isn't, since I can't connect it to my PC(it all happened the same day - had CM11 all worked got to stock had UI bugs and PC couldn't recognize it). Is there some way of rooting it without the PC? I tried some apps but none worked even tho some of them did before on older firmware.

If the KingRoot doesn't work I am afraid that you will have to get a little creative & use ADB over WiFi.

Oh dear. Yes, KingRoot doesn't work, even tho it worked before like a charm. Okay, how do I do that? (I'm sorry but I really never did any of the things you suggested here)
Puff. First of all enable adb & over tcp (wifi) in developer options.
https://dzone.com/articles/use-adb-over-wi-fi-without
Or use some of the apps.
The commands & how to use them.
http://www.androidlegend.com/how-to-use-adb-fastboot-commands-with-your-android-device/
You need to push SU bin & app along with Busybox bin (command extension).

If this doesn't help you or you don't know how to do it I am sorry but I can't help you more than this.

You can push & a older kernel image & then use kingroot if it's easier for you like that...

I will see if I can do this. If not I can try to connect the phone to another PC or send it to repair if the other PC doesn't recognize it. But then again, thanks.

Where did you download firmware from?
Which did you take (name it)?
Was it multipart or single part ROM?
(probably single as you only named AP slot)
Which Odin version used?

As you own an Exynos phone while mine is Snapdragon I might not be able to help more.

KIES installed or just SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones?
If the device manager said unrecognize usb then try to download the driver from Samsung Open Source. If it isn't working, try another cable (you can borrow it from one of ur friends)

@rafayet1159 checked USB port on device?

Even if charging is working, data contacts can by dirty.

As long as you can't access download mode I don't see a chance.
Perhaps other can help better if you post your question in the special Note4 Exynos forum.
