It might, but I wouldn't dare to try as there might be more differences then you think.

Both i9502 and i9500 have the same Samsung apps and features. What is missing are the google apps which are replaced by China Unicom apps.
I followed the Wonted:Samsung S4 Duos I9502 Root+cooked rom thread to root the i9502. Please make sure you go through the whole thread as there are some concerns which were resolved in the later pages.
After rooting, I downloaded and installed Google Apps.
Now I have Samsung + Google + China Unicom apps in my i9502. Talk about bloatware !

hi there, i am awaiting my phone, and am doing some prior research.
Are you saying you manage to root successfully with that thread? I read through and it seems like there are some stability issues.
Is it just using Odin, rooting with cwm-recovery.tar.md5 and csc-root.tar.md5, and its considered root?>
Thereafter using your link to download Google APps (Playstore?) and everything function as per normal?
Thanks

After odin with i9502-cwm-recovery.tar.md5 and i9502-csc-root.tar.md5, I have problem with root.
Root was finally achieved by installing UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.30.zip in CWM.
The latest GApps for 4.2.2 at this moment is gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip.
Hope that helps.
Bear in mind that some of us are still getting some issue on every reboot...Android is upgrading...optimizing app X of Y...and others.

Hi chchong,
what does the SuperSU do?
How do I install the gapps? Just copy and run it?
Just got mine today, and attempting it

SuperSu is the program that gives you root access.
Please do a backup of nandroid backup (to the external sdcard) before you continue to install GApps.
Use CWM to install GApps.
If you encounter issues like me, try to do a factory reset.

...I read this post 5 times trying to figure out exactly what you want to do, or even think you can do! Honestly if you don't know anything about rooting then this particular phone will end up as a brick. The bootloader is locked on AT&T S4. No way around it unless you are NOT on MF3 or later... Is your phone actually rooted?? You can't reset the counter anyway.

The bootloader is locked on our phone. You wont be able to downgrade your firmware. What firmware are you current on? I can exlain to you how to get back to stock and rooted with Safestrap and the TWRP version that works for it.

The recovery that works with Safestrap is TWRP. And depending on which firmware you just flashed it will either be version that is specific for that firmware. Do you have Safestrap installed yet?

It should have booted past that screen before waiting the ten minutes. Can you still get in Safestrap? Sometimes you can have a bad download. Try one of the mirrors for the rom link and download again. Or you can try to wipe and flash it again. I had problems with hyperdrive when i tried using it. (Some roms just don't work on some people's phone). Can you try another rom like. Deadly Venom or Google Play? Seems most people have fewer problems getting those installed.

Your best option, and proven to work would be to just reflash your current firmware or downgrade back to MK2. Then root it easily with Saferoot. Then Safestrap it, which comes with TWRP recovery. Once that is done you can either restore a backup of the rom... if you have one on the SD card. Or download the rom again for the firmware you are on.
That's what I would do, (have done) when that happened. None of which is very hard to do either. So... what firmware are you on?

I really wouldn't know how to correctly walk you through with installing Safestrap through ADB because because of the different way it mounts.

there are some apps may cause they problem, uninstall the apps that add features for the device. for examples (fancy switcher.apk)

Hi mate
After you did a factory reset BEFORE you re installed any backup or re installed your Google account , did you tested to see if it was working right?
Do a factory reset and try it without restoring anything or configuring your google account
as @AbdoAdel said . it may be an app causing you the trouble

Hi!
Sorry, for resurrecting an old thread, but I have a very similar problem. Only, that not even the softkeys light up for me. It happens randomly. The phone simply won't wake up, it does not react to any of the keys. I have to take out the battery, or press the power button for longer than 10 sec. to force a reboot. In the battery stats I see, that the phone was "running" the whole time it just wouldn't wake up.
Every time I have this the battery seems to be warmer, so I'm guessing it's some kind of endless loop or software lockup.
Phone: Galaxy S4 GT-I9515, Black Edition
Stock ROM (4.4.2, Build: KOT49H.I915XXU1ANK2)
No root, no apps installed.
I also tried a factory reset, wiping cache, etc. I did not install any apps after the factory reset (I added my Google Account, but disabled the "Backup & Restore" option).
The issue happens very irregular. Sometimes 2-3 times a days, sometimes 1-2 days without problems.

Seems to have been a problem with 4.4.2
A few days ago I updated to Lollipop (5.0.1, LRX22C.I9515XXU1BOC3), no wake-up problems since then.

I think I spoke too soon. After the upgrade to Lollipop I immediately installed all my apps, did my settings, etc. No problems for almost 2 weeks!
Then last week it happened again (I think on Wednesday). Then nothing again until Saturday evening and once more on Sunday evening. Same problem. Phone simply won't wake up. After removing the battery or long-pressing the power button for a restart I see that the phone was running the whole time except that it wouldn't wake up.
At first I suspected the account sync, so I had it disabled for the last few days, but it happened even with disabled sync. I had not installed any new apps since the upgrade, so I'm fairly sure that it's not caused by any of my apps.
Battery usage seems a bit weird too (in 4.4.2 I had no "gap" between the "freeze" and the restart). See Attachment or here: http://imgur.com/cLb4sqp

What exactly do you mean by "the screen started turning purple"? Did it just freeze up, display a purple image and then die?

Yes the screen slowly turned purple then died. It froze.

anyone found solution for this problem? this issue recently happened to my Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 running without any problems on Android 4.4.2 CM 11.0-InstallerXNPQ09O for over 4 months since I replaced broken screen

Samsung Galaxy on5 (sm-550T1) soft bricked by FRP after using TWRP

Edit: here's the metropcs firmware https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwpP0WNhAe9vdXZkVUNvMXFqMWc/view?usp=drivesdk
Edit:Title is wrong, its a sm-g550t1
Hi there. I'm really in desperate need of help. I am not always a very smart man.
I recently installed TWRP using the guide for this phone, and the first thing I encountered was I couldn't install it from download mode due to FRP. So I googled that, saw it would go away if I unlinked my Google accounts, which it did. Then I made a backup immediately.
However, later I linked my Google accounts and so now, after restarting, my phone will just say Custom Binary blocked by FRP. I can no longer access recovery mode, only download mode, and I can't install anything due to the FRP lock.
I am very frustrated, have gotten little sleep, because as I said I am not always a very smart man. I rely on my phone for my work and I can't afford another one. Someone gave me the stock firmware but its in the TWRP format and I don't know how to install those files with Odin.
So please, if you have time I really need help. If i could offer any sort of financial thanks I would but I just can't right now. But I swear I'll send so much good karma your way. I've definitely learned a lot from this process, usually breaking **** is how I learn best, but I wish I did this with a throwaway.

So I've narrowed it down a bit. I need a stock recovery.img and maybe a stock system.img so I can flash them in odin. Please, if you can somehow help I really need it right now.

Fixed it by flashing POTTER_NPN25.137-33_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip via RSD Lite, lemme know if you need any of those.

Any one has this issue, i have unlock the boot loader and rooted using super su, from there the camera broken. this is Indian version.
can anyone suggest to solve this please?

The camera is fixed in custom Roms and kernels. I run LOS and Elementalv6 with no issues

Is the issue will solve if i flash this?

thanks for the quick reply

Yes clean flash the Debloated Rom from that link and you will have your Camera back as it is not a hardware problem!!

Thanks everyone, really got answers as requested. It works, flashed superSu also, got stock debtoted rooted rom, that's what I want.
But ofcourse it is stock kernel.

Does flashing the xml via RSD Lite remove root?

If your device is indian version (XT1686), install stock ROM. I was facing same issue. Installed below stock rom.
