[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.

Can you tell which TWRP did you install? I've tried to install it but didn't work.

Hello, I have bought the same phone (Galaxy S4 GT-I9508) in China (by China Mobile) and I have already rooted.
I have dowloaded and installed the "com.android.vending-4.1.10.apk" file to have access in Google Play, but he didn't work...
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.

S5 Chinese g9006v

Are the custom ROMs made for the international S5 g900f compatible with the chinese s5 g9006v? The only difference as far as I know is the difference in LTE bands and the lack of google play.

I have not heard of anyone doing it, but, but suppose it wouldn't really hurt to try if you had a nandroid backup ready incase of problems...
I agree that it is different in those regards and those only from all that I've read. There is a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2738617 that someone made that links to how to custom recovery (in chinese sadly), how to root it, and I personally after rooting/recovery was able to flash gapps 4.4.2 on it and it worked just fine for me. I still want a custom english based ROM that will have gapps fully default installed and all the samsung stuff working, basically a GPE version ROM with all the samsung crap that gives it all the nice features that default android doesn't have.
Now, with all that said, I have seen a TON of people showing different versions compatible with the 900F version and never once seen the 9006V listed as one of those...

Oh me, oh my, the more I (try) to learn, the more confused I become.
The stock ROM from sammobile doesn't include Google apps?

They most certainly do not. I just didn't know if that meant stock sammobile ROM wouldn't have them.
So then, I guess the solution is to flash a stock KitKat ROM on the phone (I assume those do exist)?

Sammobile chinese stock rom doesn't have gapps because it is exactly the same as the rom on the phones. i believe it is pulled from OTA or KIES.
and there are stock kitkat roms available now in the original android development section, but there are bugs and not suited as a daily driver IMO. also not sure if it supports the chinese model

hope
lidroid has made couple of custom roms for g9006v model but they are not in english yet. As i know lidroid first make them in chinese then it is translated to english. And he made a perfect working custom rom for g9006v. I think english rom will be available soon. I also have been looking for a rom. But now i at least tried the root the phone. I am going to wait for a custom rom unfortunately.

Hi,
LIDROID is a good rom custom for the SM-9006V Samsung Galaxy S5. I had trouble to get it, because it's a chinese rom but with multi language and root version. English and other european langage are included. Playstore is inculded also.
It's call Lidroid 4-4-2 v1.2.
At the first time, I used VROOT to instal the root, I tried 3 times, but Vroot pass it. After I have installed a cwrm with odin v3.10 and the rom custom without problem.
It's on a xda forum that I heard about Lidroid rom v1.0 and now a v1.2 exist. But it's very long to donwload it from chinese country, and to find the good buton to click, I give you my file :

Hello
when you install the lidroid Rom, in the aroma installer you are asked to choose the csc, there are three choices: english, chinese and a third in the middle, i don't remember the exact name: choose this one, it's working great for me (3g, 4g and french language...). Hope this helps.

Full wipe again and left options at default in aroma, same outcome. Jumped straight over language sekection to sim pin selection. Perhaps will try later on another version.
I had the same problem download the rom again and flash it and everything is working fine.

Well, not really. You can flash it without Full Wipe.
I do recommend a Full Wipe since it fixes a lot of bugs and it's better to start with a clean everytime.

Well, check if the folder has got a dot in front of it like so : .TitaniumBackup . If it does, delete the point by renaming the folder and you will be able to see it. BTW, I use Wi-Fi File Explorer to transfer files from my phone to pc. It's faster and more stable.
Here you got the app. Sorry for late reply, I'm busy with the high school. I would also like to thank you for your donation!

all ok now

thanks for reply .. and good luck in school ..

No Network Signal after flashing
Hi good day!
Im a new user of SGS4 i9505.
My set-up before flashing this ROM is this:
MIUI 4.11.3 (4.4.2)
Original CSC: BTU
Firmware's CSC: TGY
Active CSC: BTU/TGY
CSC Country: Hongkong
Bootloader: I9505XXUFNAD
Baseband: I9505ZHUFNB3
PDA Version: I9505ZHUFNB3
Build number: KOT49H.I9505ZHUFNB3
On aroma installer, I selected XTE (Philippines) as CSC.
After flashing the rom and rebooting, I didn't have any network signal and the menu on Settings is greyed out.
Does it have something to do with the CSC I selected? Sorry for the noob question but I cant seem to figure it out.

Good day to you too. You have to update your bootloader to latest one, I think it's NK4, and also flash the latest modem. I have a tutorial on YouTube on how to update the modem. It's called how to fix Galaxy s4 Wi-Fi on my channel down below in my signature.
Updating the bootloader will most likely wipe all your SD card and data, so make a backup first.
You can get the latest bootloader and modem by searching on Google, Galaxy S4 Modem and enter the first link and find the latest one of them out there with a simple thread search. Flashing bootloader has the same process in Odin as the modem, but instead of selecting the. Tar in Phone section you put it on BL or Bootloader, it depends on your Odin version.
If you have further questions please let me know.

hey dude if i do a flashing faliure will kies fix it?

What FW is on your phone right now? and what are you trying to upgrade to?

Questions belong in Q&A, not General.
Thank you.

Now that this is in the correct place...
Stock ROMs do not come in a flashable zip format. Kies is not going to help you in this regard, and is absolutely useless for fixing flashing problems that may crop up. Thus, you'll have to use Odin, like it or not.
I'm assuming you want to upgrade your ROM, so please post the following information:
1. Model Number
2. Android Version, found by going to Settings > More > About device.
3. Firmware Version (AP, CP, CSC), found by dialing *#1234# in the dialer or by installing Phone Info from the Play Store and running it.
4. Service Provider
5. Country
6. Is the phone rooted? (Yes/No)
7. Is a custom ROM installed? (Yes/No, and the name of the ROM)
Some of this may seem redundant, but putting it all in one post makes it easier to help you.

N9005 doesn't work with custom roms?

Hello,
I have a N9005 that I'm tryin to install a custom ROM (I have another one already with Norma v29 working perfectly). In this one I flashed the original 5.0 firware and then tried to root, isntall custom recover, custom rom, etc., as I normally do. With this phone I can root and install custom recovery but every custom ROM i tried I always have a bootloop on Galaxy Note 3 screen (tried Norma, Phonesis, etc.).
I can reflash to an original ROM but don't understand why it doesn't work with a custom ROM.
Can any one help me? I even tried to change bootloader on a specfific tutorial for Norma v29.
Thank you in advance!

Boot to download mode and check the model first .
Is this a used phone ??

Hello. Yes is a used phone. The model is a SM-9005. The roms I'm using are for this model. I tried again a Lolipop 5.0 stock rom, then root, then recovery (until here everything works). Then applied Norma V29 and i'm stuck again at the Galaxy Note 3 screen, the blue led starts to blink and then the phone restarts. Really can't understand. Even tried the same memory card from my Note. Well the only difference is that one is 16GB and this one is 32GB. Any stock rom work perfectly but didn't want to use them.

Can it be that the internal memory size is causing the issue? is the only difference....can someone help?

Well my original phone is a 32GB. Don't know why the hell I was thinking 16GB... so most weired. If someone could help will be great. It's working with the stock 5.0 and rooted with CM-AUTO.

before flashing custom firmware you should enter the recovey and make complete format for both cache and data partitions.
after the firmware install it might take the system up to 10 minutes to boot.

Thank you for the answer. i'm doing all the steps (I changed roms on Note 3 for some time now). This one startups on the Galaxy Note 3 Screen, the led starts to blink (like 4-5 times) and restarts himself. So is not waiting time. made factory resets, all the wipes, even a script I found for fixing EFS. When I flash a Android 4.4 or 5.0 stock from SamMobile just works.

Suggests you are using the wrong TWRP version .
Read the roms instructions/ search thread .

use TWRP version 2.8.7.0.
Most custom roms do not support v 3.x.x.x

I thought I'd clean up the phone.
I installed via ODIN official fw = Lollipop.
Then root + TWRP 3.1.1.
Next installing custom rom RR 7.1.
ERROR
I resolved as follows:
Installing "CP_N9005XXUGBPB1_MODEM.tar" + "BL_N9005XXUGBPB2_BOOTLOADER.tar"
Now RR installation is successful!
But "not SIM" (can not enter PIN)
Solution:
Override file "libsec-ril.so". Here is: Root / System / lib / libsec-ril.so
Done - it works!
Files here: https://ulozto.cz/!M6PZA7EKQHNe/xda-zip
It helped me. Will it help you too?
