[Q] i9505 on UK Networks

Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone is working on AOSP mainly CyanogenMod for Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9505) on UK networks such as EE and Vodafone etc.
I am currently running Omega 3.1 but would rather switch to pure android and current nightlies presented here for CyanogenMod 10.1 fail to install on my Phone. I have tried both TWRP and CWM.
Possibly I am doing something wrong while installing it :silly: or maybe it is not compatible.
please advice if anyone has got success installing CM 10.1...or if there is any different ROM which one can try.
many thanks

Its a problem with the recoveries, its being looked at and will be fixed. Keep trying to install CM, sometimes it needs a few attempts to work. When you see Error 7, reboot back in to recovery and install again, it will work if you keep at it.

I've been using my device on both networks and using victorators aokp rom.I just love it to be honest. Both cwm and twrp are tricky sometimes but keep trying and you'll be ok.

I had the Status 7 error too. Rebooting didn't help me. What helped for me was deleting the rom from my SD card. And recopying it back onto the SD card. Then it started working straigt away. Seems to have something to do with the formatting.

Thanks guys for all your valuable replies :good:, my hands are getting itchy now to get it started .. but am stuck at work ..will have to get it done tonight sometime

Custom ROM and kernel with overclocking support required.

I have a samsung galaxy trend s7392. Since it lags when playing high end games or using heavy apps, I'd like to overclock it. I have already rooted it. It has JB 4.1.2 as stock firmware with samsung touchwiz 4.0. Since it's not a popular model, the developers might not have developed anything yet for it. But since this phone's look, feel, features and stock firmware are a lot similar to more popular models like grand quattro i8552, i9082, etc some of you could know what roms and kernels would work good with it. Please help. I've googled my hands off. Thank you so much.

You might have better luck by going into the i8552 forum and ask a developer there if he knows if it is compatible. They would know the best.

Hi, I also own a Galaxy Trend S7392 and looking for a custom rom. But I couldn't find one. To start developing a new rom, I tried building from AOSP sources. The build was successful, but while flashing it on phone, ODIN reports FAIL as soon as it starts writing system.img. I am unable to figure that out why is it so.
I am looking for some concrete steps so as to compile a ROM for our phone and flash it from AOSP sources specifically. If you have any idea about that, please help.

After successfully building a rom you need to flash the rom from inside of recovery. I'm not sure of the specifics of your rom for flashing. You will need to go to your rom thread for that and read the guids on how to flash it correctly. You will also need a gapps package. goo.im has this. If you built for 4.3 aosp they have the gapps there. If you built for 4.4 you can try these gapps. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

Thanks for the reply atrus5.
My phone is currently using STOCK ROM for my Galaxy Trend. There is no thread dedicated for Galaxy Trend Duos S7392 so there is a little information available at the moment.
I am stuck on flashing the AOSP generated system.img to my phone. GAPPS will come a lot later .

You have to flash the whole zip that gets built not just the system.img

OK, but I don't know how to generate the whole ZIP. Moreover,
ODIN requires .tar.md5 package to flash it. This is what I did :
1. Extract STOCK tar.md5 package
2. Replaced system.img with the one I compiled.
3. Repacked tar.md5 package.
4. Used ODIN to flash the tar.md5 package.
5. ODIN reported failed as soon as it started flashing system.img
Further help will be highly appreciated.

You will need to flash the rom from recovery.
First you will need to be rooted. If you don't have that you can find it here at this link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494471
You will need to have a cwm recovery. Here is the link to that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552935
Inside of cwm recovery you will need to factory reset/erase data, erase cache and dalvik.
Then flash the rom and gapps packages.
i don't know if your device is locked or not since I do not own this device. This is the best that I could find. I don't know if it works. This advice is for the i8552. Your best bet is to look through these threads to find what you are looking for. http://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-quattro

Lots of links to study.... Thanks
1) The phone is rooted. NO issues with that.
2) CWM recovery is not available for my phone. I tried the CWM recovery builder to build image, but the build failed. I tried to build the same manually, but on flashing, I get E:Failed to Verify Signature.
NO way ahead...

you can remove those bloatwares by just rooting and using root app delete to locate and delete. it will not only free rom but will also make your phone faster since the bloatwares that used to run in the background consuming cpu, battery and ram will have been removed.

Samsung galaxy trend s7392 folks use kingoapp from kingoapp.com to root your phone. it will surely root it. I've upgraded to galaxy i8552 quattro and the two phones are just a copycat of each other. so there are chances a custom rom intended for quattro(more popular of the two) could work on trend.

It's already rooted bro. I have done it on the very first day I bought the device. Still, not all bloatware can be removed by just rooting. So, I think there is a need of optimised ROM like CyanogenMod or any other.

Hey first of all, after rooting you will gain super user access and ofcourse after that you will be able to remove any system app(bloatware).

pls help i also have the same device
I have gt7392 pls help me to put any custom rom available if u get any solution pls share with me.
Thanks in advance

I am also an unhappy user of s7392. It is indeed a laggy phone and to be honest, root (vroot)+ removing any unused application, including play store, hangout and google+ didn't help it too much. Phone is still hanging, lagging and sometimes not showing who is calling or, worst, not ringing at all.
An optimised ROM it will be really grate.

[Q] [HELP] Galaxy S4 SM-S975L Tracfone stuck on recovery boot

I rooted my phone with towelroot. I wanted to install cyanogen so I went to the site. I couldn't find my device driver so I tried the US Cellular. (btw I have cwm recovery 6.0.4.7). I went into recovery mode and press backup and restore. I saw an error message but i ignored it. So then I wiped data and factory reset. I tried to install Cyanogen through install zip. I installed it but when I went to reboot phone it rebooted back to recovery. It does that every time.

Someone? Please?

Your stock ROM is here. If you want to install a custom ROM afterward, you need to make sure the custom ROM will actually work on the Straight Talk Galaxy S4. Keep in mind that there are some thirty different variants of the Galaxy S4. The ROMs in this forum are geared towards the I9500 series international phones as well as the I9505G Google Edition phone. These ROMs may not be built with the Straight Talk S4 in mind, as it's a minor variant compared to the I9505.

Thanks! I started download like 5 minutes ago and it's 0.1/1.3 GB downloaded. Can you send me it through mediafire or something?. Also can you send me a link to a Cyanogen Mod for Straight Talk S4

Unfortunately, you're just going to have to deal with the download speeds. For me to post the MD5 file on MediaFire, I would need to download the ROM I provided you the link to, split that file into multiple downloads of 50MB each, and host it on MediaFire. Since I do not have a Straight Talk S4 but an I9505 with a Straight Talk SIM, I think you'll understand why I'm not going to waste the time and bandwidth.
Regarding the link for a Straight Talk S4-compatible version of CyanogenMod, check the CyanogenMod website and see if someone there has made one. If they haven't, you'll have to build one yourself because no one is going to do it for you. Again, I don't have the phone, but even if I did I have no desire to run CyanogenMod on it.

Alright thank you I downloaded the ROM, installing it right now with Odin. Taking forever with system.img.ext4 but it looks like it's almost done. I'm pretty sure I have no idea how to build my own CyanogenMod for my phone. Any ROMs you consider are good and compatible with my phone?

I don't run a custom ROM, but a stock, debloated one. I would simply root the phone, debloat it using the excellent guides and tools on XDA, then install a launcher from the Play Store*. From there, make sure S-Voice is disabled in the Touchwiz launcher so you can use Google keywords ("OK Google") and enjoy your phone.
*I use the Google Now Launcher because of its "swipe to the right" access to the Google Now cards, but there are other very good alternatives to the GNL. Nova Launcher and Apex come to mind.

You said you installed a rom, does it work? Can u link me to the website you found it at? Also, the recovery you used?
I have the same phone, sm-s975l and im definitely not as experienced with flashing and blah blab. So I was looking for some help I guess

OK guys. I need help rooting SM-S975L

Ive tried using every android based one click root method conceivable and still no success rooting. Model Number of course is SM-S975L. I just bought the thing at walmart yesterday and as I understand it's kernel version is causing incompability issues with towelroot (which with extensive research it appears that towelroot is my best option.) and of course root fails (Also tried changing modstrings method). Ive even tried countless Chinese root apps to no avail. I really want a new rom on this thing. (Straight Talk one sucks lol) but Nova Prime saved it somewhat...(like always). Anyway I need help here guys and any is appreciated. I will post screenshots of baseband, Android version, etc. Thanks in advance everyone!!

CF-Autoroot is what you need to root. Also, search the forum. We have an entire thread devoted to your device.

CF-autoroot?
cf-autoroot is used on the computer correct? Also if you would be so kind as to point me in the direction of this mystical thread that's eluding me? lol I really cannot find it to save my life :/

So try using towel root. You can download the apk from the intrrnet. Then install.and run the app. Worked perfect for me.

Please help...

Right Lads. I've got galaxy s6+ edge, rooted. And was working fine till yesterday. All of sudden I couldn't install any apk file- not from play store neither from any other source. I tried everything at this point- clearing data and cache of play store, hard factory resetting my phone 3 times.. and still same problem... can someone please help me? Also as I've said it's not just about play store. I can't install any app at all.. from any source:/ and obviously I've got permission to install app from unknown sources etc...
It's basically like you can see here

I got the same issue with my sony while tring to root. I searched a lot but I could not found anything exept reflashing the stock rom. (I dont know it is the only solution or not but it definetely works) My advice make bakup then flash original firmware.
