You can't root Froyo with z4Root. Download SuperOneclickRoot 1.7 + and just click the big "Root" button after you connect your phone to your PC. Remember to turn on USB debugging in development menu in applications options.
I see you are using XXJPQ, this is an unknown ROM to us, root is not implemented for this ROM. It may need special tweaking. Have you tried the "rageagainstthecage" method?

i know i must root with SOC, but it freezes on "waiting for device".
yes, this JPQ i can't find anywhere, it came on kies, here in croatia.. i tried "rageagainstthecage", but stil freezes (not responding) on "waiting for device".. i'm crazy, do you know where i can ask for that tweaking or developing?

it will work good luck
Super One Click HAS to work.
Since you updated you might not have USB debugging enabled... so make sure you do.
Also, try removing your SD card. (know it sounds stupid... but do it anyway.)

clarkkov said:
No guys, you don't get it. It's an official ROM that we haven't seen yet (At least I haven't seen it). There is no XXJPQ on samfirmware. This is the Q version - the last JP version. If these methods are not working, we need to "crack" the XXJPQ.
Alen, can you dump your ROM on an SD card and then upload it so we can see this wonder?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes, i can't find anywhere that JPQ, strange thing.
i would but i don't know how to dump it.. instructions?
With all these troubles, is it worth being on that rom?

yeees i enabled.. and when i check drivers it says "no issue found!!" i think a problem is that JPQ. i will try tomorrow to save it and upload it.
I was having trouble rooting till a few days ago. of course, i was technically inept and kind of stupid. and though i see your problem might be a bit different because of the official ROM, but it's worth a shot.
Which version of SOC are you using? the one in the rooting thread or the latest one? the 1.7 didn't work for me, neither did 1.8 but 1.9 did the trick. Try that.
did you do the boot method? you turn on the phone while the rooting process is running on your pc and it is waiting for a device?

(still, maybe it's not only that, because, i went on pc device managare and click to update that ADB drivers while phone was booting, maybe that did the trick too. just saying, so if anybody has the same problems, to try that too. )

Hi is anyone have the same problem with there S4 connecting to PC with USB cable. I have all the drivers installed and I also tried connecting to another pc and same problem.. I also tried 2 cables and no good. I can connect with cable with odin but I can't move files with windows explorer.
So you have tried this on 2 pc's correct, you have keis loaded on both? Are you sure usb debugging is enabled in the dev section?
Are we guessing what phone you have here? Is it a iPuke S4?
Noobs: if you need help, and an accurate help...use this when asking, MAKE IT LAW!

2) What Kernel
3) What recovery

i used to have a driver problem for my galaxy s4 at&t. i resolved it by restoring back to factory stock using odin. you can follow instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261573
I had the same issue as you op, and unfortunately I don't have a good solution. The only thing that fixed it for me was flashing a different rom. I was on Jedi and it wouldn't let me connect to PC (at first, it worked fine but a day later it stopped).
Flashing another rom (mint) fixed it for me.

I am impressed here, you had and issue with a rom, before you went on a post rampage you tried another rom, and it worked, so you know now it was not a hardware issue but a rom issue, this is how you find solutions on your own. GOOD JOB. this deserves a thanks from me at least.

Not sure if serious. Jk, thanks. But I still think I could have figured out a better solution than completely ditching a rom.
I tried everything listed, from updating drivers to trying to mount the phone through twrp. Nothing worked, even re-flashing the rom, so that gave me the idea to try another.

Did not mean it that way, first troubleshooting step should be, are you having the same issue on another rom, if 2 roms have the issue, it is a more serious problem, but as you tried, it is a issue with that rom, so that person can find answers in that rom thread.
calmness sir, it was all in good meaning.

OK, I337 rooted, unlocked, Goldeneye 7/10 ROM, 3.4.0-917495 kernel, USB debug enabled, running Net10/TMo, via *#0808# set to RNDIS+DM+MODEM, and AWS enabled via *#0011# OP process (I'm now getting 14.3M downloads off H+). wifi-Kies is Titanium frozen, as is restored crapware std email client. I had this problem once before when I left USB setting at RNDIC+DM+MODEM without completing the QPST process, but all was well after I did it right. Only other change I'm aware of is that I installed the Samsung USB drivers for the S3 so I could do the same AWS fix for the wife's i747. Anyway, the Samsung don't show in device manager now, even after reinstall the S4 drivers. Get a phone beep on plugging in, that's it. I plug her S3 in, get beep, screen says connecting as media device, windows 7 says installing drivers, via windows update, and eventually gets it done, saying "USB composite, sgh-i747, CDC/ACM, and ADB interface" (as shown), much as with S4 when it's usb driver install is successful. A puzzlement for a noob, for sure; clearly it's inside the S4, as when I try usb connect into an XP 'puter, while I get the phone beep, there's no usb recognition by the XP either.
No I'm sure we're all aware that there are quite a few issues with Wifi not working on S4 with certain ROMs/Kernels/Modems etc etc.
Now I've tried so many ROMs stock & custom, loads of different Modems, an assortment of Kernels and many tricks/hacks to try and get it working but nothing.... absolutely nothing.
I'm currently on ParanoidAndroid 3.99-RC2 27/12/13. Wifi obviously won't switch on, it can't seem to even find the MAC address even though the file is there to be read from and I can view it as a text document. Even more strange is that under the '/Data/misc/wifi/' folder, all that is in there is one file called 'softap.conf' and a folder called 'sockets'. Now I haven't actually deleted the 'wpa_supplicants.conf' file, it was just never created, along with the rest of the contents for that folder. Unless what I read about Symlinks the other day meant that the actual working folder has changed recently.
But list of things I have tried:
Deleting .cid.info file
Deleting wpa_supplicant.conf file
Editing build proper 'Ro.secure.storage=false' attribute
Doing the SQlite trick
Pulling the battery whilst it's on
Using programs like Wifi Fixer - they just tell me my wifi is stuck
Using *#0011# to turn off power saving
Selecting the Wifi Region Code
Unticking Wifi Optimisation
Changing Wifi during sleep action
Using *#*#4696#*#*, It states "Configured Networks: Disabled", "Wifi State: Disabled" and "Supplicant Sate: UNITIALIZED"
More testing:
Different Modems
Different Kernels
Different ROMs
Different Wifi-Fixes
Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated or any addition tricks to try that may help.

1- Turn off ur phone. Go to DOWNLOAD MODE and Flash THIS (unrar it before) in Odin as PHONE/CP!!
2- When u finish the process ur phone will reboot
3- Try if u have WIFI. If not make a factory reset:
- Make a Internal Memory backup
- From your home screen press the apps icon in the lower right corner.
- Find and press the settings icon.
- In the upper end of the screen press the accounts tab.
- In the bottom of the next screen press the Backup and reset button.
- Press the factory data reset.
- Read the info on your cell phone screen and hit Reset device.
Unfortunately after going back to the stock ROM, I have tried both, I did the Wifi-Fix again, just to humour myself, but it didn't work. Though since going back to Stock ROM it is able to find the MAC address, which it wasn't doing on AOSP ROMs. Short of rooting the device again and fiddling with files I don't know what else I can try on completely Stock to make it work

Hello.
I have a problem with my S4 i9500. I've successfully rooted it and flashed custom recovery. But I'd also like to install custom rom on it, and there is where problem begins. Every time I flash rom and reboot it stucks at boot logo. I've tried it with Philz and TWRP recoveries and three different kitkat AOSP based roms. But the situation looks the same every time, despite waiting over 15-30 minutes the system doesn't boot properly, it stucks at boot logo. Creating backups and restoring stock rooted rom works flawlessly however with both recoveries.
I've also tired twice to install rom without doing factory reset before and then it goes trough boot logo, however stucks at "android is being actualised" window or something like that.
I hoped to get rid of ugly and slow touchwiz from my phone as fast as possible, but with no succes so far. What am I doing wrong?
Sorry for possible mistakes, english is not my first language.

It should just work.
- Is your bootloader up to date?
- Running latest modem?
- Try not to flash it from your external sd but from your internal.
- Use something like Airdroid to transer the files from your laptop to your phone. I find it more reliable then cabled.
- Redownload the rom again.
- Use TWRP recovery. The rest is outdated.
- Make sure to properly wipe in the recovery. Maybe even wipe your internal storage (/data).
That's what comes to mind.

How do I check bootloader version and update it if necesarry?
I tried flashing both from internal and external memory, with te same result (no success).
Also, I didn't transfer roms form PC, I downloaded them directly to my phone. I did it the same way with my older phones and never had an issue like this.

I was unable to get airdroid working correctly. I'm not sure if it wasn't because of SD restrictions on Kitkat. Maybe this causes my problem as well? I also realized that many file related operations like renaming a folder, deleting files and even downloading it is unsuccessful unless I use stock samsung app. I've transferred the rom later via USB cable and flashed, but the problem still occurs.

It's Korean model. I'm not sure if GT-I9500 ROMs will work correctly on SHV-E300K (if it's booting), due to too many differences between International and Korean version.

Hi all. I have a G900I that has been rooted and has TWRP. I tried flashing it with AICP 7.1.2 using TWRP after copying the rom to the root of the phone (sdcard doesn't work). It appeared to flash fine and then rebooted. No it gets to show AICP changing colours across the screen. Now the only way to turn it off is remove the battery. I can boot into recovery or download mode fine. Booting into recovery isn't much use because I can't access the file system. What I need is a tar.md5 rom so I can flash it with Odin. Any ideas where I might get one? I have tried Sammobile but for some reason when I try to download it asks me to log in but when I log in and go to firmware it logs me out.........sounds like a standard Samsung boot loop.
This is what I've used ever since my S3 Mini days: http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=SM-G900I
Download may be slow but it definitely works without any registrations

I've used their website several times before and not once has it disappointed me
Thanks for your replies but samobile started working. I got the ROM and about to try it. Will let you know how it goes.
Looks like I am back up and running. Thanks guys. Now time to try and stuff it again.
Can you suggest a decent simple ROM. I don't want a whole lot of fancy crap, just something that allows me to make phone calls, take pictures and play games.

Try Resurrection Remix 5.8.4 (the second latest build). Currently lineageOS has some CPU scaling issues which will waste battery needlessly.
I'm currently using LineageOS 13 (previously called CM13) mainly for better battery life and stability.
I have been trying to install Lineage 14 and it keeps getting to about 90% and just sits there. I will try the resurrection one soon.
Also what is the crDroid one like?
I will give the resurrection one a go. I have been trying the Lineage 14 one and it keeps getting to about 90% and just sits there.
You can wait a bit and flash MagmaROM once a stable version for the G900F comes out.
Whats the difference between an 900I and a 900F?

G900I and G900F have the same SoC, but only the NFC chip is different. If you flash a G900F ROM/kernel on a G900I, you only lose NFC.
Well I have got the resurrection ROM on but now Smartswitch says it is not compatible. I can't get all my contacts back.
I have tried 3 different ROMs and I still can't connect with Smartswitch to get my contacts and messages back. Any ideas? Is there another way to get them?
Also Windows 10 has started recognising the phone. This never happened before.

Pretty sure smart switch is only for official firmware, as with other Samsung software. I usually only backup my contacts on Google, but for messages, I'm not too sure (since there really isn't a solid backup tool that I trust).
I got most of them back from an old phone so not many lost. Only problem now is I can't seem to place the contacts widget on the screen. It keeps disappearing.
