[Q&A] Downgrade 4.4.4 to 4.3 and sim unlock i9505 topic

Dear fellas,

A friend of mine gave me yesterday his phone, asking if I could unlock his carrier lock.
I found several tutorials where this can be achieved through *#0011# menu, but unfortunately the phone currently runs CM11 4.4.4 and that menu does not work.

Can anyone please help me understand what is the correct procedure and files I need to downgrade to stock 4.3 and unlock the sim?
I am familiar with Odin and flashing/back-up procedures, but the very big amount of bootloader/kernel/roms variants, un-restorable bootloaders and stuff just make me more confused.
I am trying not to brick the device, downgrading has always been a weird thing to do.

I found this thread but I am not sure which I should use for a proper process.

Model: GT-i9505
Root: Yes
Android: 4.4.4 CM11
Baseband: I9505XXUGNI2
Kernel: 3.4.104-cyanogenmod-gf25e918 build03@cyanogenmod #1
Build number: cm_jflte-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84Q

Thanks in advance!

Why is my S4 i9505 randomly rebooting after rooting? topic

I rooted my phone a couple of days ago using cf auto root. I haven't flashed a custom recovery yet. I deleted 1 systen app which was the YouTube app so i could install a better version. Then my phone randomly did a quick reboot. It went to the spinning samsung logo and then to lockscreen. It took about 15-20 seconds. It skipped the samsung music that usually plays during boot and skipped the screen that says samsung galaxy s4 gt i9505. And, sometimes the home screen just freezes until i go to a different application (like settings) or holding the home button. Since i rooted, these random reboots hav happemed about 8 times. Today it happened about 2 or 3 times. I've noticed that is triggered when the screen is powering off when i press the power button or after a minute of inactivity when it automatically dims and then powers off. But it doesnt happen like this everytime. However, one of them happened was while i was talking to someone on the phone.


A couple lf people have said that installing the latest firmware on my phone will help. But isn't there any othet way to fix it?

Why is this happening? What is causing this? Will this problem go if i unroot?

Can't enable the WiFi on i9505 on 4.4.2 topic

Community,

I would really appreciate some help with my S4 WiFi issue which is killing me for about 8 weeks. I have tried like everything i could find on the internet, but i cant find a solution that works for me. Time to hookup in the XDA and hoping for that one magic trick. I'm a little experienced and really no moaner or lazy technician, but i can't find any solution. Things i have tried:

- Battery removal while the phone is on.
- Slapping the phone on the backside.
- Reseating WiFi cable after removing the grey back from the phone.
- Editing build.prop
- Editing/removing WPA-SUPLLICANT file.
- Factory reset.
- Numerous of other ROMS.
- Uploaded the new Modem file, nothing worked.
- Tried to downgrade to 4.3, but it seems once your on 4.4.2, there is no way back.
- Disabling WiFi in Service Mode.
- Tried the "WiFi Fixer" App.

None of them seem to work in my case. Any suggestions you guys have to help a brother out?

HELP! Samsung galaxy s4 i9505 4.4.2 ROOTED RANDOMLY REBOOTS topic

Im new to rooting and stuff so please explain things in detail. I have samsung galaxy s4 i9505 on android 4.4.2 XXUGNG8. I rooted it yesterday using cf autoroot. I had to disable knox because of supersu. I also removed youtube.apk which was a system app so i could install another YouTube apk which had more features. Everything seemed to be working well untill i pressed the power button to just switch off the screen and then my phone just went to the samsung rebooting screen. The song didn't play and the screen that says samsung galaxy s4 gti9505 never came up. Just the screen saying samsung. Then it went to my lockscreen. The reboot is like a quick reboot. It doesnt take as long as a normal reboot. This doesn't always happen. It had happened 5 or 6 times since last night when i press the power button. However its annoying. It also happened after someone called my phone. After i finished and they put the phone down it just rebooted again.

Please can someone help me? Someone else already said to flash the latest firmware for my device. But will that remove the root? Also, i cant find the right version. For my phone the:
AP: I9505XXUGNG8
CP: I9505XXUGNG8
CSC:I9505BTUGNG2

Please can someone help asap. Thanks.

[Q] i9505 problems topic

Hi

I've been trying to get to the bottom or this for months and months, no clue what to do.

Firstly, no matter what ROM i try, whether it be stock or not, sensors do not work AT ALL. I've tried about 10 ROMs, and no joy.

When i first had my phone, it was on stock 4.3 ROM, and rotation worked fine. after this i upgraded to 4.4.2 OTA and rotation still worked. As soon as i rooted my phone, all sensors died and now i cannot fix them. The phone also has a stupid amount of lag, especially when trying to answer a call. I tried then going back to stock 4.4.2, but the sensors remained broken

I have tried reinstalling Samsung HUB as i found in a few posts on the internet, but again this does nothing at all.

Can someone please please help, any ideas no matter how far-fetched are welcome,.

Thank you in advance.

[Q] About restoring apps+their data and system settings after updating i9505 to 5.0 topic

Hello,
I am new to this forum but I'm pretty familiar with flashing custom roms, custom recoveries, root, flashing stock via odin and so on. There is however a thing I would like to find out from more experienced users because I want to be ready for when the 5.0 update will be released.

I now have i9505 4.4.2 stock/ no root, and TWRP 2.8 installed. Obviously I can't OTA with this configuration when 5.0 will hit.

So I was wondering how I could update to official 5.0 and keep all my apps and data and system settings.
I was thinking I could:
1. Backup my current stock 4.4.2 rom using TWRP.
2. Then flash 5.0 stock via odin/ or flash 4.4.2 via odin and then OTA to 5.0 ( which is better ???)
So now I am on 5.0 all stock, nothing else installed.
3. Then install TWRP via odin again.
4. And finally use TWRP to restore only the DATA partition from my 4.4.2 backup

Will this work and restore apps and their data + system settings ?

Thank you for your answers !
