[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.
Regards

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.

When I tip the icon, a windows appear and close immediately....
Some one know what's append...?
Thank you for your help !!!

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..?
Thank you by advance!!

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.

This morning I tryed to flash TWRP recovery and I brieked my phone. Now when phone is connected to Computer i Device manger shows only Qualcomm HS-USB QLoader 9008(COM34). The phone does not boot in Download Mode nothing just black screen. I have Z3X box but I can't find model in Samsung Tool v18.2.
Odin can't view the phone, Z3X can't find the model. I made USB JIG but is not working with this model on other models is working.
Can you give me advice what to do ?

Of course I am not sure as I said I have not tried it. However since you have a brick phone then you can try anything. But the best thing is to bring it to a Samsung Service Center. Tell them you tried to update and this happened.

From the previous thread about GT-I9300I there is another version which was released for India. I suggest you check first if you have the Indian version using CPUz app before flashing/upgrading.
Read this if you have this Indian version then the update might not be for your phone.

thats the firmware i downloaded and it hard bricked my device

If I'm not mistaken, India has two models, one with 1.2 Ghz processor, and another with 1.4 GHz processor (please correct me if I'm wrong). If you are from India, just go to your device update section and check if the update is available via OTA.
Or just install Kies and try to update from it. Sammobile says the 4.4.4 for India is avaiable from Kies.
No need to flash anything via Odin if the 4.4.4 update is available for your country (except if you have previously installed another firmware). :good:

[Q] Note 3 LDU n900x help

Hello to all holders Live Demo Unit! and the developers out here
I want to summarize in this topic (maybe someone will correct if I'm wrong).
Many guys out there are having LDU unit and few of them might be using it properly but i want to ask people and the developers to help people like me to get it to working properly. I know and want others to know as well that with a Live Demo Unit YOU CAN'T DO PHONE CALLS or TEXT MESSAGING due to its nature. So, we need a custom/stock firmware that will transform Live Demo Unit in to a working tablet note 3 that works on WiFi and for multimedia purposes.
In the beginning when i had it in my hands i upgraded the android to 4.4.2 leading to upgradation of boot loader to newer version and later i came to know that there isn't any going back, you cant downgrade your boot loader.
after installing the firmware with Odin i noticed few issues:-
1. Periodic boots
2.Videos, camera (in video mode), YouTube were not working and as soon as they are opened phone restarts
3.Battery draining issues
4."Network operator" eats battery more other processes (always on the mobile network signal) even in airplane mode
after researching got to know that all the issues were due to modem. i collected all the demo firmwares as well but could got them working , as the modem file (CP_N900XXXUDMK1_LLK_REV03_CL1252918.tar.md5) was not compatible with version higher than 4.3 so in short i was stuck
i downloaded various firmwares stock as well custom and yes cyanogen too but not successful
then i installed cygwinand removed the modem and other files from the stock and thought that it might help in any way but nothing as far
please if any one know how to correct the issue is more than welcome
thanks

If you have kk BL you only have to flash NG1 modem minimum.....use @Khizar method...

i did that already but still no success. thanks for replying
anymore help would be appreciated.

come on guys please help me out with it !!!
stock 5.0 is out, shall i try it..will it be worth??
any ideas would be appreciated

AFAIK that is not always correct.
If the LDU has a modem board, you can make it working with phone calls and SMS.
Use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ to check if your LDU has Modem Board or not? (under MISC INFO section).

but it doesnt have a modem in it.i have checked it.

can you please guide me which rom to install.

Step 1. Chech your version of LDU. Snapdragon/exynox. Use phone info samsung from play store.
Step 2. Find the tread in general about the leaked firmware for note 3 ( snapdragon) or exynox ( this variant of note 3 has from today official lolipop) and install by following the instructions. It's all here, just search a little and you'll be fine

what you suggest ???

Stock S5 rom? Nonono
---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ----------
Find leaked lolipop rom for SM N9005. No other rom!!!!

stock s5 rom for note 3
ok
lolipop rom for SM N9005
will it solve the problem of reboots and video error ?

You will find that rom in general thread! Download odin, firmware and follow the steps described vrey well there ( including pictures). First you need to make your phone to work normally, after that you can try different roms. For now just install a pure samsung rom

Help with a troubled Tab 4 7.0! (Downgrade & QA)

Hi community I just need help to figure out what to do with my Tab 4 7.0 the history begins this way:
I get this Tablet already used not brand new it looked to have Android Lollipop 5.1.1 when I got it and didn't appear suspicious and lend it to one of my kids, the problem begins after some time the Tablet didn't connect to the Play Store anymore proly because my kids was trying to root it via KingoRoot or other apps to mess with some games, so after that I decided to solve the problem doing a Hard Reset but it didn't work, the tablet still can't connect to the PlayStore via RH-01 error message.
So I decided to flash it with the official stockl rom from Samsung, my BIG surprise is that this Tablet never get Lollipop 5.1.1 it didn't ever get Lollipop at all accordingly to this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/links-galaxy-tab-4-official-lollipop-5-t3102844
Because my tablet is the SM-T230NU (the model accordingly to the box is SM-T230NYKAXAR) model and that model never gets LL, so I figure it out this was a modified rom? Even in the Info about the device over settings it says the model of the device i "Nexus 5" instead of Tab 4 or whatever Samsung call this device but not Nexus 5 that is a phone from LG.
So I stopped here, because I've heard it can be dangerous to Downgrade Android versions? If not what should I do? Use Odin3 and flash the rom mentioned in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/links-stock-galaxy-tab-4-firmware-t3013128
For the T230NU USA variant? Hope u can advice me about what to do and give some tips because this will be my first flash on a device.
Thanks in advance! :laugh::good:

They probably flashed a custom rom with broken GAPPS, just restore with Odin and the official rom.

By restore u mean flash it with some of the roms provided in this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab...mware-t3013128
So there's no problem if I have 5.1.1 right now and get down to 4.2 as is the official one?

Convert n900v to n9005 ( international Version)

Hi - I've been lurking on XDA for quite awhile and finally took the time to create an account.
Here is my issue/need -
I have a Note 3 that I want to use in another country. I have used it as a 900v but there are a few issues, so I am wondering, If I root,etc. and load all the 9005 firmware will it then be a fully functional 9005 ??

WOW.....

Oh well... I figured it out on my own. 100% success. No Knox Trip running Stock n9005 firmware and all correct bands working :good: :good: :good:

Would you mind sharing your method? I am quite interested in this. Being relatively new to the realm of knowledge, I would greatly appreciate your input and experience.

Howto?

Hi! anyone can post solution to convert N900V to N9005 please?

Hi, I don't know if this has any relation to my problem but this is what has happened :
I wanted to add a custom rom to my SM-N900V so I upgraded it to Android 5.0 but I upgraded it to pl1 so I downgraded it to of1 and rooted using Arabic tool app. I flashed twrp through Odin and flashed hyper drive custom rom but that rom was rubbish. So I decided to switch to Aryamod rom and flashed it through twrp but after rebooting got stuck on Note 3 logo on searching I found out that the stock kernel has to be replaced with darklord kernel so I used Odin to flash it and on rebooting I got past the note 3 logo but got stuck on Samsung logo (it was blinking) after waiting for 20 min I again started searching on xda, I found out that before flashing Aryamod you have to be on stock 5.0 firmware. So I again used Odin to flash 5.0 but it failed so I tried again and this time it worked ,then I again rooted using Arabic tool and after successful rooting when I plug in my phone to my PC to unlock it's boot loader the phone only charges and I don't get and USB options on my phone, Odin does not detect any device neither does the Arabic tool and when I see the list of and devices there is none. I reinstalled the drivers of my phone tried many cables and different ports disabled and enabled USB debugging 100 times and even dialed ##366633# and disabled and enable dm mode from there also but all without any luck. I really want to connect it to my PC to flash stock firmware again. Pls help me.
