Hi everyone I need help as in the title.I have an S4 I9505 and an S6 Edge 925F. So I want to take a backup of S4 on kies 2.6 (device before september 2013) and can that backup be restored on my S6E but the S6E is now at my cousin in Germany so now I have to take a backup of my S4 and get it back to stock (now its on OmegaRom KK and KToonsez kernel) and in May me and my cousin will replace phones and he will give me the S6E and i give the S4 to him and the problem is:
I dunno what kies uses S6E or SMART SWITCH;
and will the backup from kies be restored on Smart switch if the S6E uses it

the S6E does not work with kies....it only work with smart switch. with the backup...u can only backup your files but dont backup with the system files because the system files for s4 is different from the S6E, so dnt try doing that...

if its 4.1.2 stock firmware than it doesn't need factory reset, but i have seen some users having a boot loop while doing so and to remove the boot loop issue they have to factory reset and wipe cache partition. it would be better if u backup everything before you do this(recommended)..
Backup evrythng using titanium backup or a similar app and restore the data after flashing the 4.3 rom..

Kies will have the 4.3 update when it is released for your phone .

The firmware hasn't been released yet for all carriers in all regions.
You could download it and flash it, thought.

Normally upgrade to a higher version should retain user data, apps & contacts. few weeks before i upgraded from 4.1.2 to 4.3 without loosing anything. But always backup the required data is suggested.

One word of advice: the i9300 4.3 update is VERY laggy and full of battery drain bugs. I would remain on 4.1.2 if I were you until Samsung releases a refreshed S3 update.
This is why the update may not be available through Kies, they pulled it as soon as UK users started complaining.

Person who wishes he never pressed "install" on the 4.3 OTA...
Hello, I made a post here because of me unable to use my data or send texts or calls after flashing cyanogenmod then flashing modems. The third gentlemen to comment said that my efs partition was screwed up. So I want to know if anyone has any fixes for it without having to go the a samsung service center as he stated? I was debating on putting this on my S3 (SCH-R530U posting here since there is no section for my variant of the S3) but I'm not sure if that would fix it since my model number is SCH-R530 yet software says that it is the R530U so I'm unsure what effect that would have on my phone. Also I don't recall having the LK5 or LG1 modem on my phone prior to flashing cyanogenmod. Also, what would be recommended to backup before doing this so I don't completely lose everything? Thank you for any suggestions or answers!
Hi! Since you did not make a backup of your efs folder you are gsm/hspda/lte/sms/mms done for i'm afraid. First of, did you flash a CM version specifically for your device or a version for the s3 international/other variants?

I did indeed download the correct version of cyanogenmod for the Galaxy S3 for US Cellular (sadly)
I would try and flash the latest stock rom available from my carrier/country and if that doesn't fix it then i would search on xda/google if my situation happened to someone else before and take this as a last resort.
As always, if you still have warranty then try and flash latest stock rom available and unroot the device so that you can benefit from the warranty. Keep searching until you are sure that the above link is the only way. Best of luck to you!

Its basicly a Verizon phone, you need to go there for support
First, I have a Galaxy S4 i9505 (4G), the problem does not affect my device, but the device's my cousin who is a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500 (3G).
He recently purchased the unit from another person, the unit worked well, but had a small defect in the charging connector ...
He asked me to sell one of my cases and battery why his battery was apparently bad, why was not possible give loads on the battery, I managed to solve this problem.
The problem came when he asked me to update the device to Android 4.4.2 KitKat by several improvements, I downloaded the latest firmware available at SamMobile site and after that did the flash using Odin.
Knox had in 0x1 (the unit had been modified) and I read on some forums that night, that when doing upgrade directly from 4.2.2 version, especially XXUBMGA the EFS partition changes shape, thus having little network problem and signal.
Link : http://www.grupoandroid.com/topic/83400-modem-mg9-y-posteriores-modifican-la-efs/
My questions are, it is possible to resolve this situation? I read previously that the IMEI is restored from a backup made previously it is possible to recover the network signal, but made no backup of EFS ....
I also read a long time ago that it is impossible to downgrade to ROM's with lower versions if there Knox installed.
I did the update of Android 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 using Odin.
If possible downgrade, any of you can share the ROM XXUBMGA 4.2.2 for S4 i9500? Or tell me some possible solution installing another ROM / modem?
I am currently trying different modems and using the OmegaROM in my cousin's S4.
Since the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge have identical hardware (other than the battery) can we expect cross-compatibility of things like custom kernels and custom stock ROMs?
For example, I own a Galaxy S6 Edge and there's this fancy custom kernel made by a boss dev for the regular S6, do you think it'd be a breeze to be ported over or would it just support the S6 Edge without the need for a port?
Likely Yeah

I don't take responsibility if it doesn't work, but I'd say it's very likely it will work. It's the same phone with a curved display and the edge feature switched on. Hell, I had to root mine using the normal S6 file since the S6 Edge file bricked it.
Out Of Topic

The experience isn't much different, I really only rooted it so I could get Titanium Backup and restore all my apps and data. There are no custom ROMs yet nor does Xposed work yet as TWRP isn't out for it yet. But I used Odin 3.10.6 and flashed the G920T CF Auto-root file.
