[Q] [i9505] Black Screen topic

Hello,
A friend of mine gave me his white i9505, because the screen was cracked and he told me that the screen didn't work, but the phone was working (LED and the both touch button works), there was sound and the network worked.
So I bought a new screen and I installed it, and here is my problem :
The screen is still black, even if the LED and the both white button works.
I thought I failed somewhere, but I didn't. So I tested the old screen with a faulty motherboard I have, and the cracked screen is working.
I am able to flash the phone via Odin, with Download Mode.
I got a blinking red LED one time when I tried to start it, and one green LED too, and the phone vibrates.
I don't know what the problem could be, the phone doesn't seem to have took water (I had one which took water, and the motherboard had some marks).
If you can help me, thanks !

[Q] Galaxy S4 i9505 reboots topic

Hi,

I have a Galaxy S4 i9505 LTE which is is rebooting every 10 minutes and sometimes even every minute.

I have also flashed the phone using odin to I9505XXUENAA 4.3 and wiped both userdata and cache partitions, to ensure all data has been lost. However the phone still does the reboots. The reboots only happen if the phone happens to be in sleep and running on battery, if the phone is either connected with the USB or with the screen on, it simply won't restart however if a certain time passes and goes to sleep then after 10 seconds it triggers the reboot.

Maybe this can even add some more info I noticed that exactly at the time before a restart is about to happen (the phone is currently in sleep state) if you press either the home or power button to wake it up, it simply does not show the screen and after few seconds you can hear a short vibrate then another short vibrate and the Samsung Logo appear.

I have also tried to monitor the logcat through ADB, and I tried to study the log for the E/ logs. Basically every minute or so the following line is printed on the logs:

Code:

---

E/watchdog (xxx)  !@Sync Y

---

(where Y is a incremental number starting from 0 from the time booting)

Attached here is also a copy of the logcat textfile generated. (Sorry I had to archive it as it is too large to attach)

Do you think this is a software or hardware issue, it seems that an android watchdog timer is not happy with some sort of thing, can anybody help me?

[Q] Can't answer the phone on my S4 i9505 topic

Hi XDA.
Recently i've been experiencing a frustrating issue with my Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505. Whenever i try to answer an incoming call (by dragging the green button all the way) the call is not opened, instead it closes. I tried restoring it to default settings and after doing that it works for like a couple of hours or so. I resetted it last night but this morning the problem showed up again.
Any solutions you can think of? Thank you

[Q] Samsung galaxy s4 i9505 wifi password recovery topic

I've searched all over the net for this problem but to no avail.
I have a Samsung galaxy s4 i9505 LTE android 4.3 which is rooted with Cwm recovery using odin.
So the problem is the only reason I rooted my phone was in order to read the wifi passwords stored in my device (coz mostly my friends enter their wifi passwords and do not show them) but in this phone the passwords inside "wpa_supplicant conf" are encrypted. :/
So I need your help guys .. just find me another way to figure this out..
Thank you

[Q] Canadian i9505 no sound, wifi, calls topic

Let me start off with I'm an idiot. Now that that's over with let me explain what I did to end up here and what I've tried to do to fix it, to no avail of course.

I was running Android 4.3 rooted with cf-autoroot. My software was messing up and with the news that kitkat was available I wanted to unroot and upgrade.

Using a guide I found online I flashed a version of 4.2.2 android. the file name was I337MVLUAMDJ_I337MOYAAMDJ_RWC.zip

Of course when it finished I had the no sound, no wifi problem because i reverted back to the wrong android system.

I then using twrp flashed VANIR and got wifi but still no sound/calls.

As per other threads I tried flashing I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_BTU with ODIN but every time i would get the error:
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.

The only somewhat success I had was i was able to flash RWC-I337MVLUEMK6-20131125124040 using ODIN 1.85 which is a 4.3 version but still no wifi/sound/calls.

Other files i have tried to flash are GSM_Modem_XXUFNA5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUFNA5(under phone), I9505XXUDMH8-PRE-ROOTED-KNOX_FREE-ODEX-FULL and even tried a pit file: CSB_signed_Fusion3_EUR_0325_V2.pit
Everytime i get Complete(Write) operation failed.

I've put CWM on but still no luck. I need suggestions or a fix please and thank you.

[Q] i9505 possibly USB port broken need to go back to stock rom topic

Hi,

My problem is simple : I have an android i9505 under 4.2 which I rooted (I derooted just yesterday by trying things...) and that'all : never installed a ROM or anything else apart this root thing one day.

When i go to DOWNLOAD MODE it says "Custom" so the Samsung warranty can take it in charge, they say that I have to put it like it was before. Of course I don't have any mention of knox since i'm still in android 4.2

So I want to install a stock ROM but I CAN'T do that with ODIN : I tried 4 PC, 10 USB ports, all the drivers in the world, did a numerous wipe cache and stuff but nothing works : the device (in download mode or in normal btw) is not recognized. In the best cases I have a "unknown device" popping up but no version of Odin recognized the device.

Can I install a stock ROM from the SD CARD ? Because when I start in RECOVERY MODE i can see that i can "apply update from..." but all the tutorial says to install fro example "CWM" and choose "install from zip...". Of course I would like to keep a stock ROM and to not have a know Ox1

So to summarize I have :
- a Galaxy S4 i9505 working, NOT ROOTED (checked with "Root Checker Basic"
- with android 4.2
- apparently which is "Custom" but still the samsung touchwizz stock rom...
- NO WAY to make it work via Odin or anything else because the USB connection doesn't work at all
- an external SD card on what I can install stuff : CWM ? a STOCK ROM ?...

Thank you in advance, I passed hours and hours searching for solutions but now i'm quite desperate... :eek:

[Q] Updating i9505 from rooted 4.3 to stock 4.4.2 topic

Well, i'm new in this android/root stuff, but to have something to begin with:

I tried rooting my device(i9505) in 4.3(using that "knox-untouching" way) and, it not only didn't worked (can't use SuperSU), it also installed a custom recovery on my device (triggering everything i could) and know i can't OTA.

So I was thinking, can I just download the OTA and install it over ODIN, then wipe data? Or i have to download 4.3, flash it over, wipe, and than install 4.4.2? (For the record, i can't find my 4.3 ZTO version. Even in sam mobile)

Galaxy S4 LTE (i9505) - Issues After Upgrade to 4.4.2 topic

Hi!

Just a few hours after upgrading to 4.4.2 (OTA official) I started to notice some "flaws" in the new OS. Of course there are lot´s of new good things too, but wouldn´t be better if we could eliminate some of the flaws too?

That´s why I´m creating this thread - with the purpose of exchanging experiences regarding the issues and solutions found in order to improve 4.4.2 usability.

I´m starting by sharing my experience with one of the most annoying drawbacks (at least in my opinion): the way external SD card is being used. 4.4.2 simply doesn´t allow data exchange between user installed programs (and data) and external SD card. I´m an user of FX File Manager (in my opinion one of the best file managers I ever seen).

When I opened for the first time in the new OS, the following message appeared: "Your SD Card may now be read only. This device is running Android 4.4 or later and appears to have both an internal storage area and external storage. Google imposed new restrictions in the Android 4.4 KitKat Update: applications that you install yourself ar no longer allowed to write to the "secondary external" storage (the MicroSD card). Applications installed by Google, the device manufacturer, and/or your mobile carrier ar exempt from this restriction. Only applications you choose to install are restricted. Some devices may not enforce this restriction, and other may have a means of disabling it. If you find yourself unable to write to your external SD card, please contact either your mobile carrier or device´s manufacturer support.This problem can be worked around if you have superuser access. Please refer to websites/forums related to your specific device for information."

Awkward!!!

I tried to move some files from my internal download to external SD card and no transfer was possible...

After searching for some workaround, the only way I could manage this situation was by installing ES File Explorer, which found a way to overcome this limitation for file transfer. Of course it solves the issue very partially, since no other programs (including photo / film software) will be able to overcome this problem.

I invite everyone who have/had an issue with 4.4.2 to use this as a way to exchange information, creating a single thread that will make easier to find issues and solutions (if available).

s4 i9505 - no signal topic

Hi guys,


Hope someone can help!

I flashed my S4 i9505 to 4.4.2 (Jamal) and now I have problems with my signal but my wifi is working fine.

It identifies the network: lycamobile and the mobile network type : hspa. but service status : out of service, Mobile network state: disconnected,

Also if I dial *#1234# I get 'Mobile Network not available' message, so I cannot check my Csc, Pda info.

I have tried flashing different basebands using Odin, but I still cannot fix this problem.


Any ideas? Thanks!
