Straight talk S4 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering if any of the s4 mods works on the straighttalk version of s4 model s975I

I was researching this phone a bit more. Looks like the SM-S975L has the same CPU as the i9505. Does anybody know if CWM or twrp and any roms from i9505 would work?

Take a look: HERE

Is there anyone working on this phone I hope so b from what I read it is the same as i377 hardware but different firmware but not sure if it is true. Found that info on other forums I have looked at. I am hoping there will be cwm or twrp and maybe one rom.

KERNEL screwed my phone!

Ok, first of all, my phone model is i9505 (Samsung Galaxy S4 International version).
I installed last week a new kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297379 on my phone.
Today I tried to install the cyanogenmod 10.2, now the recovery edition of PhilZ Touch says everytime that there is a prob i9505G etc, which I don't understand.
I think the kernel changed my phone number to i9505G, someone who can help me with this? Thanks.

Yeah sure, just installed stock firmware 4.3 so nothing editted, PhilZ CWM recovery and that's it.
Since the kernel it won't install cm10.2 anymore so yeh...
Nothing much to explain, I don't know why this happens to me, my model number jftlexx is correct but in recovery it gives a bunch of errors with i9505G and the model name of it, forgot it I think it was like jgdlet or something.

i found this after reading cm10 that you need to install a compaltible recovery for this "Make sure you have the LATEST version of ClockworkMod recovery. Other recoveries may work but will not be supported by CyanogenMod" either you use a Clockwork recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397108 or you can try it with TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468187 and make sure the file you download is not corrupt, please check the Hashcheck that u got the proper file.

Seeking help for identifying suitable ROM for my S4 I9500

I have purchased S4 I9500 from a local shop. I am not sure about the country of origin of the Phone. There is SU app available in phone which means the phone is rooted. Please have a look at the attached screenshots and advise me about the phone. Is it on some custom ROM? I want to install S5 kind of ROM on it. Where I can find suitable ROM for my phone.

The build number makes me think yes, it is on some kind of custom rom. Since it's a I9500 then all ROMs in this I9500 threads should be working on your device. If you are looking for S5 kind of ROM then I suggests OzcanRom by @citymen34 :angel: it works great on my device and contains most of the S5 apps and features. Make sure you make a full backup in recovery first then flash the new rom in case it's not working :victory::victory::victory:

You need to download Odin and flash TWRP through Odin.
Click the Odin3 v3.07 file to start Odin. Auto Reboot should be selected by default. If not, select it and only select Auto Reboot and also make sure re-partition is not selected.
Power off your phone. Then hold the power button and volume down until you see the warning screen then press volume up button to get to download mode
Now connect your phone to the computer. You will see the com port light up when Odin recognizes your phone. Press the PDA button, browse to the TWRP .tar file and select it.
Finally press start :victory:
Press thank if I help you :angel:

your phone is #CHINA CLONE. sorry but you ain't lucky dude, am sure even when booting it doesn't display I9500, just Galaxy S4.
P.S. Wrong section for such questions.
Oh . But I don't see anything low in quality or less in features.

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505G which I flashed a custom rom on about a year or so ago.
I have since tried to update/flash it again with no joy. My baseband version is (meant to add my baseband when my phone loaded, it didn't.... Its something like MEA on the end.
I tried updating it so many ways, all different roms, stocks, baseband updates, god knows what else and I spend a lot of time on it also.
When ever I try to flash a stock rom using ODIN it fails. I recently tried to flash 5.1 I9505GUEUDOH2 Full Restore hoping it would just solve all my issues but now I seem to be in a boot loop.
I honestly don't know why this has happened.
Please can some one give me some advice or point me in the right direction?
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Thank you in advanced
Dom

Okay, so I managed to sort a sort of fix, I guess.
I used odin in download mode to flash twrp recover using BL. I launched into recovery and installed a I9505 rom onto my phone. So its currently working and I will probably leave as is in worry that if I continue to mess around I may brick it for good lol
Thank you

My guess is you were flashing the wrong roms. You probably have an I9505 and not an I9505G.

SM-G935U Question ....

.
I have been looking around and reading a lot about this model phone G935U. I am wanting to run a custom ROM on it,
but I would need a custom recovery in order to flash the ROM correct ??
I do not think there is a custom recovery ( TWRP ) at all for this model G935U because our bootloader is locked.
So with no recovery we have NO CUSTOM ROM's right ??
Or is there a way to flash a ROM via Odin and not have TWRP ? I can not believe I got this expensive phone and I can not flash ANYTHING.
Thank you for any ideas or tips. BTW I am rooted and running ......API3 boot-loader.
.
I can't believe it either. You'd think you'd read up first.
FlashFire. Google it

Oh thanks. I do remember hearing that name before. Issue now would be, what to flash since none of the roms are labeled for G935U. DO you know of any ?
thanks
