So I've tried every rom that was based off the official jellybean. I even tried the stock rom by using Odin and it is still giving me problems too. So far, on every rom, it skips the welcome page after it boots and goes directly to the system manager popup. After that, my homescreen is all messed up. Someone please help
I'm using TWRP btw

I've already tried stock lol. It doesn't work. I keep getting the same results
After you flashed stock on Odin did you do a factory reset? Try that. It should solve your problem.

I tried that. It gives me the same thing. It skips the welcome screen for the tw jb roms and then the system manager randomly pops up. After it pops up, I get these random texts shown in the picture on my home screen and sometimes I can't pull down the notification bar when that happens. It was working fine yesterday though.

Never mind, I found a fix. Just had to restore back to my old ics touchwiz rom and delete root. Then I used kies to update to jellybean.
Update out! Check your Kies or flash via Odin.
From the Telus website;

BENEFITS AND ENHANCEMENTS
-Actionable notifications will show up in the notification pane.
-Jelly Bean makes your Android device even more responsive by boosting your device's CPU instantly when you touch the screen, and turns it down when you don't need it to improve battery life.
-With Android Beam, you can now easily share your photos and videos.
-As you place widgets on the screen, everything else automatically moves to make room. If they're too big, widgets resize on their own. If you choose to resize a widget, apps and widgets will now also move out of the way.
-Google Now automatically delivers relevant real-time information.
NOTE: Google is releasing this update in stages. Your smartphone will receive a notification when this update becomes available to you.

Download now HERE
If you are with Telus, you can flash this as well, see HERE
Edit: I attached vlingo.apk from ICS for anyone who misses the Samsung voice commands and driving mode for bluetooth headsets. I figured they would of put that in, as it is law for hands free driving in Canada...but I guess they needed space. Enjoy.
Downloading now! Thanks!
I had a feeling they were going to release it today, just flashed a rom last night.
Good thing im an addict, hehe
Its funny you check the add date of it on samsung firmware and it said that it was added Feb-27-13.
Watt.....4.2.1 official.....
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
It's actually 4.1.2. I'm running it now. Haven't had a whole lot of time to try it out but it seems pretty nice so far. It's a huge change from 4.0.4, will take some getting used to before I'm sure of what I like about it and don't
Did you install with Kies or Odin? Are you on Telus or Koodo?
Based on the file names, it doesn't look like there is much functional difference between the TLS and the KDO (same radio this time around?). I'll be downloading tonight.
I'm on Koodo and I used Odin for the update. I'm guessing the only difference is going to be the boot screens.

Yes, It will restore to like the day you bought it. except it wont wipe the internal or external sd, but i would recommend backing up your internal if you have important stuff on it just in case

Preferably ones that don't have a modem, baseband or kernel. So I can flash them to my i317 and still retain WiFi Calling and other T-Mobile features...
Or how is the exact process of flashing any T889 rom's to the i317. I know ya gotta reflash the modem, but what else is there? Do I also need to relash a kernel of my choosing and baseband?

All you have to do is remove Boot.img and the Modem files. I can do that for you but it is VERY risky to flash and I wouldn't do it on my phone.

Non of the Roms here have a modem. So you can flash them. I would recommend flashing a kernel after though. Having said that tweaked has an option for att set up so it'll work great and there are other users using it in att right now.

Well that TouchWiz bug just happened again... Grrrr
I was there was an S4 Port!!
Maybe I'll try MIUI, PACman and all those rom's feel like something is missing for me...
A while ago I rooted my phone with cwm. I remained on the stock rom for a while, but eventually moved to cm 10. No problems. I wanted more features so I'm currently running a pacman nightly. Everything seemed to work, but after I flashed it I had very, very little space left in my internal storage. I read that this was probably a bug in cwm that caused Android system files to be duplicated, possibly even multiple times times. This is what I believed had happened. So yesterday I flashed twrp with Odin, and after rebooting it asked me to activate my phone. I don't have any cell or data signal, only wifi. I've looked everywhere and I can't find any single solution. Does anyone know what may be wrong, and how to fix this? I can try and post more information about this problem if necessary. Please help, thanks.
Anyone? Restoring backups from when everything worked does not work, nor does flashing a modem. When I go to "About Phone" in settings, my phone number is no longer my number. It just says 000-000-0016 (not my number). Sometimes I can get a data signal, only in areas with high signal. It just says "searching for service" everywhere else. On each boot, it tells me to "activate my device" but that doesn't work. I have no idea what to do at this point, can anyone help?
And now I just saw on the lockscreen "no sim card - searching for service". Not sure if that helps, but I'm open to anything at this point

Do you have Sprint version? Just curious because of the "no sim card". I guess some ported roms will show that, but if it's Sprint version, I would flash back to TW ROM, reactivate by the ## code(don't remember what it is) or call Sprint to reactivate. Better to be on TW stock Rom if you use dialer codes or call Sprint.
Edit: dialer code is ##72786# to reset APNs. Once on TW ROM, open up phone, type in code in dialer.
sent from my GalaxyS3
Do I need to be on the stock TW rom to use the dial code to reset? I've already tried to use it on my pacman rom and it didn't work, saying it had no signal when I tried to dial it. Also, yes I am on Sprint. Would screenshots of the "about phone" page in settings help? Like I said, it lists an incorrect phone number as my number.

Yes, you need to be on TW to use the dialer. The reset is ##72786#. This will completely reset your phone, so make sure you have everything you want saved backed up to your pc. It will go through the activation process as if you just got it out of the box, but my advice,flash back to stock, unrooted, from scratch, and then do it. Sucks, I know, but that's what I'd do.

Yes, it should do exactly that. It will self-activate with your carrier upon reboot and get you back to the original settings. And unroot by flashing a stock unrooted tar. I'm sure qbking77 has a video. There are a lot of tutorials about rooting/unrooting.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
So if I flash the stock unrooted tar, I assume that I'll lose the custom recovery (cwm) but I bought cwm touch. Am I going to have to buy that back again if I choose to root my phone again?

I don't understand why you would buy CWM touch? It's free, and you can get a working, modified copy from Kennyglass123's post here. But yes, you will lose root, recovery, apps, internal storage, everything except what's in your sd card. So backup pics and such to your pc first!

I'm happy to help man, but XDA is also about learning. I think you'll have a greater sense of accomplishment if I don't spoon feed you the solution. Google your carrier, stock, Odin, tar, unroot, etc, etc, and you'll find everything you need(put xda on the end of any search string, that helps weed out the crap). As long as the OP thread and file name matches your phone(sphl710), you will be fine. If you're unsure, post the thread of the file you plan on flashing(yes, through Odin), and I'll confirm for you. Good luck, happy Googling!

Wipe data/factory reset, okay. Do I wipe cache partition?
I am having a weird issue with my S4 running any Rom past 4.2. When I make a call, the signal indicator changes to the circle with a line through it. The call stays connected, but no data transfer is possible. Any attempt to access the internet results in an error. But the call stays connected just fine. Once I end the call the signal eventually comes back and I can use the phone as normal. If I try to make a call before the signal comes back I get an error (even though I was just on the phone). Rebooting the phone seems to make the signal come back faster.
Any 4.2 rom does not have this issue.
Anyone have any ideas?

Somehow the new baseband has made things MUCH worse. The phone is completely unusable now. It is EXTREMELY laggy. no sounds from screen touches at all. It didn't even do the t-mobile jingle on boot. When I try to make a phone call, the other phone rings before the S4 leaves the "dialing" screen. Talking doesn't work, no voice gets through in either direction. I would never expect this from a modem flash.
I can confirm on the about screen the new baseband is M919UVUFNB4
I tried wiping the phone, thinking somehow it needed to "start fresh" with the new modem. That did not help. Then I tried reflashing Fenny's 4.4.2 Stock ROM (same rom I was running before). Nothing helps.
What the heck is going on?!?

Sounds like you installed the NB4 LTE modem as well. (NON-HLOS) i think is the name. You only need to instal the actual modem as the LTE modem will do exactly what you are experiencing

You are exactly right. The modem tarball I downloaded had both, so I flashed both (woops!). I just finally got myself sorted out. Had to flash back to factory 4.2, re-root, install TWRP, re-flash 4.4.2, then flash the modem.bin (several times before it took). But! All my problems are resolved.
Thanks for the help guys.
