[Q] One question about galaxy s4 GT 9506

Hi everybody! I want to change my phone but my operator propose just the galaxy GT 9506. I read on the galaxy s4 thread that it's difficulte to root this and they are no many rom for this version. My question: can i root the galaxy s4 gt 9506 and put a firmwear from galaxy s4 gt 9505. Thank's for read my thread and to give me an answer.:silly:

Yes you can root.
No, you can't put 9505 ROM into it.
But I suspect, some mod from 9505 or 9500 may work on 9506 (same Android version should have greater chance, as we occasionally using note3 mod on our s4, it probably works as long as don't go too deep into system, like kernel things, what I am talking about is more like theme or something ) and the xposed module may work as well.
If you don't wanna AOSP ROM.
Xposed module should fit you.
I've had 9506 and return back to exchange 9505 and now I found I could get what I want on stock firmware with xposed so I'm little bit of regret actually

Most xposed mods work with S4 I9506.

Thank you for the accuracy of your answer. I hesitated between LG g2 and galaxy S4. My preference goes to the S4 because I already had a S2, S3 therefore the logical consequence was the S4. But the proposed operator by my 9506 model slows a little. Your answer made ​​me decide to order S4 and hopefully not regret my choice. thank you

But beside the lack of AOSP ROM (someone is working on porting CM11) and 3rd part kernel, i9506 really outrun the i9505, specially the GPU part...
But anyway, it's kinda over-performance... as we usually don't need that kinda performance, even for Snapdragon 600.
I think, most ROM part of customization can be achieved by Xposed modules, good luck!

I did not need a lot of customization but I just wish rooter my phone and put a samsung official firmwear to delete all apps from my operator. The choice of S4 is really out of loyalty and passion for samsung. I do not really need the full power of the snapdragon 800, 4G as starts in France and yet I did not receive. So your information is extremely useful to me because I know I just choose the S4 9506, the rooter and remove apps operators. thank you

[Q] LCD Repair question for i9505g

I've got a i9505g with a cracked display. How identical is the i9505g to the i9505? If I were to get an LCD+frame replacement made for the i9505, would it work?
Thanks in advance for any help.

[Q] MHL works on TabPro but it doesn't on S4

Hi,
I've just bought this MHL cable:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=amazonsearchshop-20
The problem is that it works perfect on my new Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 (even without extra power supply, so it is 11 pins MHL 2.0), but it doesn't wotk on my S4 (i9500, last stock KK rom, custom recovery and rooted).
Do I need to activate any extra setting on the S4? I know it is not a samsung MHL cable, but is it possible that same MHL cable works fine on one device but it doesn't on a different device even for the same brand (Samsung)?????
Thanks,

It's probably because your Galaxy Tab is not rooted.
If you want a fix, you have to make one yourself. There is a fix for the I9505 and for older firmwares of the i9500, but not for Kitkat.

Yes, you could be right, my tabpro isn't yet rooted, I was thinking in rooting it this week so, should I assume that once rooted mhl won't work on my new tab? Mmmmmm...
I will check that thread and libs and I will also try mhl in my s4 unrooted...
Thanks!

I was wondering if is possible to change the L720T's motherboard with any other motherboard of a GS4.

thats a negative

Yes you can...
L720T LCD assembly with small modification that requires a small file to the upper right side of the back will allow M919, M919N, and I337 to fit the assembly. The dock connection and other areas of the board are all the same as those models.

compatible
i9505 is compatible with Sprint SPH-L720T, the frame was not printed with L720T number, but they are the same.

The rom is the same ?
Hi,

Thanks in advance for your help.

The hardware is seemingly the same for both but the 9515 has new touch drivers which makes it currently impossible to instal things like CM or other custom ROMS and also only lets you use custom recovery without touch function.
Rooting via Towel Root and Cf-autoroot works(CF-autoroot will void your warranty while towel root doesn't)
I have tested philz touch 5 and 6(I9515 ver) on my I9515 and they are both working (no touch/buttons only. Also installing customrecovery will void your warranty)
