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.

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.
Hi I am using Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500. Recently i have updated my S4 to KitKat 4.4. But after updating it to 4.4.2 i faced some of the following issues;
1. I created new folder in my Apps Menu, but now m unable to delete that new folder. The folder is empty but still m unable to delete it. I even tried renaming it or keeping the folder name blank. But still not able to delete it. I also tried, long pressing on the folder, but the only option I am receiving is the Cancel.
2. Previously i was able to hide the installed app but now i dont see the Hide App option.\
3. The globe option, which supports multi languange, disappear from my keyboard. I have selected other language like Hindi and Marathi. But still the globe icon is not displayed. There is no other keyboard installed.
All of the above issues were not found before the update, but since i updated my S4 to KitKat 4.4.2, this are the problems occured.
Please help me with this.
Thank You

I bought a Samsung galaxy note 3 n9006 factory and had all the languages, among them the serbian. Then sm do a complete wipe and format internal memory and tried to install MIUI rom and not liked. After that, I took off all ROMs with SamMobile and all ROMs have only Chinese and English.
Whether you can help to you in my n9006 throw in other languages as English a little bit?
The problem I and Tastura because it has a toolbar that can not take off.
Do pos Toji some official ROM that has the possibility to choose a larger number of languages, not only Chinese and English, and how they can take off the toolbar with the keyboard?
Thank you in advance!
Flash the firmware that you had on originally .
Then you did not have a official FW on it. SM-N9006 is a chinese Note 3 version ONLY. Did you make a backup? *alreadyknowingtheanswer*
Probably somebody in Serbia in some way put the Serbian language in my note 3 before I bought it, although in addition to the Serbian language was still a lot of language in the list. Unfortunately I'm not the ropes that first backup software because it never occurred to me to look at whether there is an international search for software that in itself has a whole suite of language.
I've found csc package in zip format, which should be flashin of recovery, but unfortunately not a factory recovery, but not TWRP Recovery 3.0.0 can not install it.
So now I have this problem and I see that nobody has a solution for it

I tried to install any recovery from the list and none of them is working on note 3 n9006. The only version 3.0.0 works. Do you have another solution for installing ROMs that have a flavor installer?

SamMobile you have the right to take off the original 5.0 software for n9006 and to flash using Odin.
Plug the USB debagging
Go to Settings » About phone » and tap “Build number” seven times to enable “Developer options”.
Go back to main Settings page, scroll to bottom and select “Developer options” from there.
Under Developer options, look for “USB debugging” checkbox/toggle and make sure you Check it or turn it ON.
After rigid install Recover twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4 with odin
after then you can install any rom to the N9005. My advice to install dark lord rom because najstailniji. I'm talking from experience because I tried everything prot note 5 and only dark lord is working properly
