Successfully converted M919 to i9505G with stock recovery - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

In case people here do not check the i9505 forums. I followed these steps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360346
to fix a soft bricked i9505g on my M919 Tmobile Galaxy S4. Everything worked perfectly even though odin/download mode had lots of errors showing on the s4's screen.
Google wallet activated, LTE, wifi. So far I cannot find anything wrong.
Partitions are still the same as the original phone so there should be no reason you cant use odin to return to stock.
I take no responsibility if you do this and something gets hosed but its working great for me. If you want stock google but dont want to deal with peoples custom roms this may be the way to go.

You my friend are a bloody reckless, and absolutely brilliant Sir! I might give this a try. Waiting for a bit more feedback, but well played! :highfive:

Someone on there did it with a i9505 and confirmed it working so i figured I might as well give it a shot. Especially since our phones are closer to the i9505g than the i9505 is.

Have you managed to get the radios and baseband flashed? I would be curious to see how it works

i just flash i9505 miui rom on my tmo g s4 everything works fine

No, same baseband. Im not that brave.

So, flashing the modem.bin in Odin gives me an authentication failure. I just figured I would mention that. Attempted to flash it through the phone option.

I wonder what will happen when there's an OTA update.

It'll fail. Google OTA's have historically included bootloaders and modem updates. As a result, those won't be able to be flashed for the same reason they can't be flashed in Odin (sig mismatch).

Havn't really had time to check

Looks like im only getting LTE data and not HSPA. It connects to HSPA but no actual data transfers. Calls work fine though. Edge works fine as well
edit: restored phone back to stock using odin, everything working fine now.
Really dont know if its something i did or was something else that caused it.

Well I think it's mainly to fix the bugs so when we do get JB we have no issues.
That's my guess.

Strange thing is each update is a little bigger than the last. LI1=7.4mb, LI2=9.5mb, and LI5=9.9mb. Wonder why if only radio/kernel updates.
I think we are getting very close to a stable release across all carriers...

Why not just flash the update in stock recovery? You can use ota rootkeeper to protect root.
Also the pro version of mobile odin will flash any of the full fw releases as well as the otas, and it'll reinject root during the process. (Its now my preferred method)
Most people arent going to want to give you their nandroid. theres too much personal info on it. Even those like me who make one right after flashing will be very cautious about this. Theres almost always something in there that is easily forgotten to clear. You could get lucky and find someone willing to do it, just dont get your hopes up too much.

Hey doc got some questions for ya. I came to the gs3 from nexus s 4g. With the ns4g I could always just flash new ROMs and updates in cwm. It seems the process is a bit more complicated on gs3. I purchased mobile Odin, and I've used the PC version a couple of times, but I'm not that comfortable with it. First day I got my gs3 I flashed Mr. Robinson's root injected uvlah2 and just stuck with that. A couple nights ago I finally flashed a new radio and it has helped my signal. I want to make sure my phone is ready for the jb update so what would you suggest?

[WIP] Google Wallet 4.2 Version For Galaxy Note

Heya all... I got wallet to at least run on my phone with a card loaded... All I did was use the 4.2 build of google wallet... Changed my build.prop to that of a google nexus... And I had already linked my card to my wallet on the website prior to installing the app... Worked like a charm... But... Haven't completely tested it yet (hence WIP)... I went to McDonalds and the machine recognized my phone... And my phone said that it had sent the info, but it never cleared... It said to ask cashier to check for further instructions... But... The guy behind the counter had NO clue, and there were others waiting, so I didn't test further... Just wanted to share my experience... Just to let you know I'm running stock rooted...
http://dgrillman.com/filez/wallet.apk - APK File for 4.2 Version...
build.prop
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
Another thing... Don't know if this had ANYTHING to do with it at all... But for some reason it didn't work the first time I tried to install... But the second time it went through... The second time the only thing different was that I had the back off of my phone... Don't know if it had anything to do with the NFC antenna, or if it was just a strange coincidence...
Ok would I have to remove the current Google wallet? I wonder why no dev has looked into this

In reality I can add the card information but google does not allow me to add the card to my device. So that is why it does not work for me. I am just going to reinstall Jellybomb and wait until they make some progress with the Cyanogenmod 10. I had a feeling this would be a waste of time. So the the apk in the original flagged my device as lost and deactived google wallet from my device.

For right now with the bootloader Knox issues, I'm sticking with 4.12 and using the the 4.3 MK7 radio. I've gone through them all and this
improved my signal and battery time significantly. More over, with this modem improvement, I've fallen in love again with my finely tuned
Jedi-x20 all over again. ptmr3, still my idol!!!
I also flashed the MK7 modem. Haven't really noticed a vast improvement..and it also didn't deliver some of my calls and went straight to vm. But hoping it makes a difference as its used more throughout the day. .
To all people having problems,
I personally had to flash the deodexed rom about 3 times before the problems got fixed. First time camera wasn't working but I read somewhere that when first on stock taker pictures and then update the kernel. Second it was super sluggish...barely moving. Third time everything worked fine and have yet to come across and problems.
Just remember to keep erasing cache and dalvik after every flash/step.

Man people, I'm sorry for all of you. I received it while using tweaked but could not flash it so I went back to stock image using Mobile odin and triangle away. After going complete stock I received the update again then went ahead and installed it using the stock recovery. I gave up root because I'm impatient and couldn't wait 24 hours until the rooted version came along and the only thing I miss is viper audio and cerebus. So I went the stock route and after it booted up, I signed in to my Google account and soon as the home screen came up I did a factory rest and haven't had 1 hiccup. The phone is fast as hell, the battery is about the same, my 4glte even seems faster than before when browsing using the stock browser, not chrome. The keyboard is great now as well as camera, and nothing bets the apps to sd. So in conclusion do a factory rest and forget about root IF you want all to run flawless. I'm sure there will be a way to regain root again. Happy flashing.......stock style.

Same here, love this rom. Better battery life, too. One issue I have is occasional reboots. But someone mentioned I have to format my ex SD card.

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to try this and see if it fixes the freeze ups.

Signal shuts off when on standby

I've searched this before on google and found a similar thread but only the data shut off for that person... I completely lose signal though whenever i flash a custom rom and go on standby... works perfectly fine on stock but if I try hyperdrive or wicked (only 2 I've attempted) and i shut the screen off the whole signal disappears but reappears a second or 2 after I turn it back on. Any idea what the problem can be? I've tried both CWM and TWRP and both have the same results, I've tried reflashing the radio also to no avail... I hate stock roms someone help plz lol
What's your baseband version? Are you still on the MDL bootloader? If so you need to flash the mk2 baseband for your data to work. Go to settings about device and check your baseband version. I'll let you know more one we know what version you have.

MDL i guess, M919UVUAMDL
my data works though... the issue is that on standby all cell signal drops not just data but everything i get the cancel sign.
ps. I found a thread with the MK2 baseband.. but apparently theres 1 for GSM and a seperate LTE file.. do i flash both? how does that work?

Yes only flash the modem.bin! Do not flash the bootloader or you will void your warranty. Make sure the files you flash are for the SGH-M919. After you flash the modem.bin make sure that it sticks check your baseband again and make sure it says mk2. Sometimes you have to flash the modem more than once for it to stick.

all set guys, appreciate the assistance thank you both
Feel as if my service has suffered since the flash, is mk2 known to have service issues compared to MDL? If not would a possible kernel flash possibly rectify the issues I'm perceiving?

At the beginning there was issues. It was mostly kernel related. I am on dbombrom from dannyben and have never had an issue. You should give it a try it's pretty awesome. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611442

Dbombrom will fix your data drop issue. If you don't want to try that now I suggest you flash the latest kt kernel just Google it and flash the late one for M919 android 4.3 it may also fix your issue.

Now that I think about you being out of the states it may be that your APN configuration has to be different for the country you're in. I don't know why I didn't think about it.
