Though I've also rooted my device, but never faced any problem like you said..
May be something missing in your device..
Better flash it to stock official firmware and then root your device again.. See what happens now....

[Q] China - Galaxy S4 GT-I9508

Hello
I have a S4 GT-I9508 model and i need to apply new firmware on them because the limitations of original firmware (google limitations). I've done the root with motochopper and everything went well, the device is rooted.
My question is
It's possible to apply the firmware of GT-I9505 on my device?
Any help is much appreciated.

I am having the exact same problem and can't use Google Play Store/Gmail on my China Mobile S4 variant (i9508). Did you manage to apply the firmware? Does anyone know if applying i9505 firmware will work? Thanks!
Maybe do a nandroid backup and then try and see?
Up, i got the same issue. ANy news ?

Hello,
No ideas about the storage, but I installed the Jellybam on the S4 and everything working smoothly. This is a temporary solution for me as the jellybam is clearly not made for S4 as we loose the camera and all other S4 gadget
If anybody now an official rom working well, i would be happy to try it :angel:
Rooting S4 GT-I9508
Hi there,
I recently bought the China Mobile 3G Version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 (S4 GT-I9508) here in Shanghai and quite obviously ran into a world without Google / Google apps / Google Play and so on. I kinda knew this would happen and the only reason I purchased this was to have 3G on my phone as I knew I could always root it later. Since you've already rooted your phone I suppose you would be the best person to ask these questions too:-
a) After you rooted your phone, are you still able to go on 3G ?
b) Any restrictions / limitations that you've noticed after you rooted it? I suppose Google Play and all the apps are fine and that you are able to download apps directly from the market?
c) Did you root the phone personally or Did you get someone in some store / etc to do it for you. I would rather prefer giving my phone to someone whose done this quite a few times than going ahead and experimenting on it. Any suggestions on whom/ where I could go to do it?
Thanks
Ben

Hello,
i bought GT-I9508 in china, too, and can use Google store, gmail, map now.
i've rooted my phone and installed TWRP recovery
and used "ROM Manager" to download and install gapps
then i've come to be able to use gapps.
but at this time, there was a problem that sometimes an error occurred which said "com.google.process.gapps has stopped",
so i've used "Titanium Backup" to uninstall gapps except store, gmail, google account (removed apps contained gapps but i don't use).
after that i've never seen the error but i don't know if this solution is really effective, so there still might be any error.
in addition, after i installed gapps using ROM Manager, i couldn't open ROM Manager any more, so i've uninstalled it, too.

Hello DUSKnenixs, thank you for your answer!!
So, I have some question... First, I'm noob in android world...
What are you meaning by "dwn mode" and "csc file" ?
What I have doing yesterday:
- first, I have installing TWRP by ODIN to come back in the factory setting
- after, I have installing the French ROM (GT-I9505 phone I9505XXUBMEA_I9505OXXBMF1_I9505XXUBMEA_HOME) by ODIN, but this step are not finnish, the status in ODIN was "FAIL" when the progress was about 95%
- after I have reboot the phone and let him start with this French ROM
I have not tested everything but the phone displays a Wifi default and asked to reboot. Even after reboot, it is impossible to activate the WIFI.
So, can you explain me, step by step what I have to do and with witch file & tool..?

Any i9505 AOSP rom will work on your Chinese SGS4 phone. The Chinese version, i9508 is basically i9505 with special software and no 4g. I am currently using an Android 4.3 rom on my i9508.
Hello all,
I have find a way to make my S4 completely in French (with French keyboard and dictionary) and with all Google App fully working without flash it with another ROM.
If someone are interested, please let me know and I'll explain step by step what i have done on my phone.

[Q] several weird issues with my new SGS4 i9505 - int. version - snapgdragon

Hi
I recently replaced my lovely galaxy s2 with its successor the sgs4 - i9505 and I was only able to get the int. snapdragon version.
here are the main issues I have at the moment and I would like to have your advice if not your solutions because I already try to replace the phone but the new one has exactly the same problems.
1. and most annoying issue : I often got error about "no network connection" when it' s not true (got almost full signal and H/ 3G icon is there but If I would like to make a post of facebook I very often if not every time I need to use the "resend " function for my status to be posted successfully..
I got same troubles with playstore .. and also with the Cisco Webex application /widget .. if I only have data connection I cannot access their server and update my meeting list.. it's working only when connected to Wireless.. (tried to reinstall.. and changed the phone but this persists..)
also ..the other weird problem I 've encountered is with Bluetooth .. I have a bluetooth Beats pill speaker, and I am not able to play music by bluetooth with the stock application .. I needed to install a paid tool called ICS bluetooth manager for forcing the use of ad2p for playing media.. and that's not very good.
And last but not least .. I bought an 64gb Sandisk class 10 SD card, but I often got issue saying that it's damaged and ask to format after having copied some files by connecting the phone with USB cable .. any suggestion ( I switched to google play music now.. but that's a workaround not a solution ..)
And to finish.. I've got a question .. what is your opinion regarding the "best" beats audio mod to use on this device ? I tried the Rockodev mod but I don't see a magic difference even with original Beats Mixr Headphones.. the difference is comparable to rocket player equalizer enhancements I think..
Thank you in advance for your help /suggestion / advice..
N.B: Am on the stock ROm ,only rooted and installed SuperSU .. and I don't even know if Samsung published any update as I can't retrieve then after the root...
rgds..

Hm, that's weird. I've used the stock app for playing music through bluetooth too and it works fine. What happends when you try to play music with the stock app?

I've got a 32GB Sandisk class 10 card which works awesome. Did you format the card before putting it in your S4? Which format are you using?

I'd first of all if your phone is running the out of the box firmware, update your phone and retry everything then report back. Some of the new firmwares are a lot better my out of the box fw was horrible. I personally would reccomend using djembeys pre rooted roms. Take a look in the Android development section for 9505 and there is Djembeys thread take a minute to read through the 1st post and give one of his roms a go.
I'm regards to your data connection issue. I used to get this issue with flipboard on my s3 but never had it on my s4.
I really would try the updated ROMs 1st as last.

Ok that could be a good idea.. but one question is what will happens if I instal one of Djembeys pre rooted roms if I already rooted my SGS4 (specially for installing titanium backup pro ) .. and due to the fact it's rooted I cannot grab OTA updates.. but in anyway I don't think there is one update available for my country.
If you tell me that I can install it without issue, then I will give it a go .
does that will add the yellow sign on the boot afterwards .. ? What is the process in my case, should I flash the stock recovery and stock kernel before flashing the rom ?
thx for your help ..I am still new in SGS4 dev... but I played a bit with my SGS2 so I know how to flash roms from recovery.. but never did it with ODIN but I flashed the recovery for rooting the phone so i should be able to do it if someone helps me with the correct process because I don't want to brick the phone or to loose the warranty forever (if not too late )
NB: for answering the the 1st answer.. with stock music app , or with Google play or rocket player all cannot play sound over Bluetooth even if that is enabled Under media and that my speaker is connected /paired..
I was able to force it using ICS Bluetooth manager and or soundabout.. but with my new JBL speaker that does not work anymore.. so I 've no choice than trying another rom... thank you..
Ok so I tried the latest Djembey's rooted stock rom and it's already quite better (was able to play music via bluetooth without any difficulty which is a big improvement but my webex widget still won't connect while on data but works normally while on wifi. I will check if play store /facebook still have same troubles or not..
Should it help to flash a CSC ? if yes which one should I choose ?

[Q] So how do i get back?

Hi XDAians.
Guys i own a Samsung galaxy S4-I9505 and few months ago i tried root it and some how i did it successfully and later i unrooted it again i am using back the same stupid touchwiz but the problem i am facing is,
1.My phone doesnt gets automatic updates.(i have to do it manually by downloading firmware from samfirmware and then installing it through Odin)
2.Knox cant be installed.
3.The camera app sucks to the coreeeee auto focus sucks every time i get a blued image. out of 5 i only get one clear image
3.After my 4.4.2 update, i cant hide apps. And the touchwiz is so much bad compared to 4.3 .
So my question is is there any way i can fix those above problems?
Now i am willing to root it back again hence i wanted to know which custom rom comes with all the system apps and software(such as wifi direct etc etc) pre installed as touchwiz and which lets me free do play with it!!!
last time i installed CM i didnt have wifi at all and it was really a mess to get that (actually i didnt ) so unfortunately had to get back to touchwiz .
Guys please link me to full root tutorials and how to install custom rom too.

A factory data reset through stock or whatever recovery is recommended.
Also you should update your apps which are closing automatically. These are compatibility updates that will run the apps on the new 5.0.1 framework.
All the Best!
Finnaly i decided to move on any good unofficial rom.
Which work smoothly and good performance.
Please suggest me rom.
Also
Suggest apps which i can back up my applications with data and.

first i want to see how it performs on Kitkat. im attaching a screenshot of the firmwares.
although, its an international model, can someone help me and tell that can i install ANY 910F stock firmware on it? also i see the device is already rooted. it does not have any logo on it or any bloatware in it other than only 2 O2 Germany apps.
can i install only German O2 VIA CSC stock roms or any rom for N910F? i will be grateful for your help im noon in this regard.
