WM 6.1
Works with radio 1.71.09.01 but I noticed some problems :
- Data Connection switch on when using GPS applications (???)
- Sometimes laggy in menues
- Bug on today screen when changing to landscape mode (sometimes it doesn't want to get on landscape or the image is cutted)
- The jog wheel doesn't work very well on WMP
- WMP Skin came back to the old one when changing commands...
Many programs included, Manilla2D, a nice black boot screen and others.

Resco Sudoku Problem
in english :
Hello to everybody,
Thank you for this ROM. I appreciate it a lot. However have a concern with Resco Sudoku. It is delivered in the ROM but does not dash. Have my (bought) own Resco Sudoku but it refuses to settle down, whether it is on the device or on the card(map) of storage..
in french :
salut à tous,
Merci pour cette ROM. Je l'apprécie beaucoup. Toutefois ai un souci avec Resco Sudoku. Il est livré dans la ROM mais ne se lance pas. Ai mon propre Resco Sudoku (acheté) mais il refuse de s'installer, que ce soit sur l'appareil ou sur la carte de stockage..

Super
One day using and no problem

I got this problem too. Crashing on launch and expect an error report. Also, the task bar disappeared when coming back on the today screen.
I 'd like to know if it's possible to have the WMP skin which come with the rom cause I can only have the basic WMP10 skin.
/* And I'd like to ask you (every users of this forum) : does M2D work in landscape mode ? (Already searched and I didn't found anything...) */
EDIT : I've got now the answer of this last question...

Hello,
I use this rom since 2 weeks, it's very nice.
Very fast
No crash
But a little problem ...
it's not possible to listen music in sleep mode.
With HTC Rom and Orange Rom it's possible with every player.
Do you have a solution (for all player) ?

Oups !
I found the solution for music in sleep mode in this post :

Butterfly Europe version, the solution!

If you have like me try to instal custom rom on your butterfly buy in europe, you had a big problem:
It is writ x920D on the box but no rom for 920d work.
You have to use x920e rom! In fact there are DLX U version! I use now the NOS rom for the x920e and it work perfect.
I post this to avoid the few posseseurs this model like me aracher hair for two weeks thinking he bricked his phone.
Sorry for my poor english
have a nice day

Bonjour Rien a voir avec la room mais sur le mien le clavier ne fonctionne je n'ai pas les lettres ....poue envoyer les messages je n ai que les lettres et les sigles peux tu me dire ta configuration

How did you install NOS on Europe x920e I tried to but it doesn't boot correctly no response of touchscreen and screen black with only batterybar and signal bar. A flashing nfc icon is also there.

6039y bricked...

Hi,
I bricked my 6039y when I tried to uninstall xposed framework. When I taped on "wipe cache/dalvik cache", wipe cache crashed and now I've got bootloop on "Alcatel One touch" and "Smart Move" :crying:
I had restored fastboot command (lost with last update), repartitioned internal memory... and I bricked it with a simple wipe...
I made a backup via TWRP but I haven't flash TWRP in phone... I'm just able to access stock recovery...
How I can restore my phone ? Only one chance with Mobile upgrade Q ?
Regards

Check with @petrov.0 He has a process he's been trying out with 6045 users to install TWRP similar to how he re-added fastboot. It's currently having some issues but perhaps having a 6039 user to test would help to resolve that. There is another "I bricked my idol" thread where he's been discussing the issues. Since he had it working for fastboot it may already work fine for you to reinstall twrp.

Ok, thanks, I go read his thread.

I downloaded his "6045i_debrick" archive, but I don't know if it's compatible with my 6039Y...
Can I try it without risk ? or wait @petrov.0 for instructions ?
Edit: Finally, I'm waiting for instructions

hey, tu est français non?tu as fait comment pour que mobile upgrade le detecte j'ai le même tel que toi et il n'est pas detecté.. j'ai accès au fastboot et au TWRP, sinon si ton tel remarche tu peux me faire une backup via TWRP pour que je puisse ravoir mon tel vivant

Salut, j'ai juste suivi les instructions de Mobile Upgrade Q, j'avais le recovery d'origine.
Je peux te faire un backup avec TWRP, juste besoin de l'image système de 1800 Mo ?
Hi, I just followed Mobile Upgrade Q instructions, I had stock recovery.
I can make you a TWRP backup, just need 1800 Mo system image ?

aucune idée de ce qu'il me faut, fait tout sauf le recovery xD si sa marche je t'aime <3 (pour mobile upgrade, j'ai plus du tout accès a l'adb sûrement a cause de sa)
---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------
vous pensez pouvoir la mettre en ligne avant ce soir?

I guess you did not have any access to adb before using the recovery tool? That might be a good news for other bricked people.
@aaazote: I hate to give lessons but can you please at least translate your sentences in both english/french? Your discussion might be usefull for non french speakers. And I guess that if you're on XDA, that means you speak english.
Je n'aime pas donner de leçons mais peux-tu au moins poster en double trad. Anglais/français ? Tout ce que tu écris peut aider d'autres personnes qui ne parlent pas français. J'imagine que si tu es sur XDA, c'est que tu pratiques un minimum l'anglais.

You need system image + boot....I didn't look to see if boot was in there.
Apparently if you tell the alcatel site you have a "pixi" you get a newer version of the Mobile Q software which works well with both the 6039 and 6045...details here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63134915&postcount=15

How to root Samsung Galaxy X Cover 4s Enterprise Edition (SM-G398F)

Hey there,
is there a way to root a Samsung Galaxy X Cover 4s (SM-G398F)?
The phone is from June 2019 and runs Android 9.0.
I haven't found anything on the forum.
Here's a link to the Samsung website:
https://www.samsung.com/de/smartphones/galaxy-xcover-4s-g398-enterprise-edition/SM-G398FZKDE28/
Thanks in advance,
Paddy

I'm wondering the same thing. I tried to follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/root-recovery-root-device-magisk-t3779454
but my phone is not recognized by odin or fastboot, so I can't flash the patched boot image.

I have also recently acquired a Samsung SM-G398F.
Need root for an FM Radio app.
Doesn't seem to have one by default (have opened a ticket with Samsung support, the Exynos 7885 should support one).
Otherwise a really perfect machine.
dual sim, and a microSD slot.
Fast charging, contrary to whats on sammobile.
Will help if asked.
edit : I would have the French version :
SM-G398FZKDXEF
https://www.samsung.com/fr/business/smartphones/galaxy-xcover-4s-g398/sm-g398fzkdxef/
Not sure if there would be any difference.

Just got off the Phone with Samsung Support.
Basically "Demand has greatly reduced for this product (FM Radio) so we are not proposing it anymore."
I didn't stay on the phone for long because it was someone with a very strong Asian accent, and i couldn't understand her very well, and she sure couldn't understand me properly, so I gave up even asking anything.
They just said to download an app from the App store....
They DID propose to use an older Samsung phone, seeing as their older phones have FM functional
Really need root now, or i'll be carrying my old phone around with me everywhere just for the radio...(and I hope it will actually work after all this).

OK, so, no stock images seem to be available yet, or anything else for that matter.
i'm just trying to get a stock backup image made, so if anything goes wrong, I can flash back.
Just in case anyone is interested, this is the info from the Recovery Mode :
Samsung/xcoverseea/xcover4s
9/PPR1.180610.011/G398FNXXU1ASF5
I have done this before, but only when Roms were available.
Is it possible to flash TWRP or CWM without having rooted the phone yet ? (It would seem its possible with ADB mode).
Is there a generic TWRP/CWM that i can flash, or do I have to have a specific custom version of TWRP/CWM ?
Cheers

Weird. I bought my Xcover 4S in Sweden, and it has a working FM radio. I would have expected EU phones to be identical apart from the language preset.

It was already installed. Looks like it is neither part of the Play Store nor the Galaxy Store, but going by the name and icon it seems to be this one... argh, I cannot post URLs yet. Google "Samsung Radio apkmirror", should be the first link. Specifically, I have version 10.0.00.52 installed.

I'm wondering if it's a difference between the "Enterprise Edition" and the Standard Edition....
I'm pretty sure I have the Exynos 7885 version (1.6GHz A53 cores) (there may be a 7884B version, with 1.35GHz A53 cores).
The board is called "Universal7885" in CPU-Z, which would be the same, or similar, to the Samsung A8+ boards I think ?
Edit : I found a Stock Rom apparently here, at samfrew.com
https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__XCover__4s__/mOac/FTM/G398FNXXU1ASG2/G398FNOGC1ASF2/
Is Samfrew an OK site to download a stock Rom from ?
edit2 : Did a search for the ASG2 Rom, and found that it may have been called Xcover 5 at some point.
https://samdb.org/firmware/pda/G398FNXXU1ASG2/
I much prefer getting this Rom from SamDB...

Yes, i saw some of the other roms seem to be ASH1.
Strange that my version seemed stuck on May 1st security update, when others are on 1st August...
Proper link than the one from before, to all the Xcover 4s/5 roms :
https://samdb.org/model/SM-G398FN/
i'm downloading a couple of them at the moment.
the Greek European version (EUR at the beginning of the filename) and the Dutch one (PHN).
They both seem to be "Black Editions" whatever that is...
Will try flashing them to my phone tomorrow, and see if it works or bricks...

I don't have the box in front of me to check.
its just I saw that people were talking about two different versions apparently, a Standard version (Black Edition?) and the Enterprise version.
the Enterprise version will have updates for longer (2 or 4 years was quoted wherever I read it) and stuff like that apparently.
Frankly, if I can get this working fine non-rooted, i may just buy another one to root and get a custom rom up and going, so when the updates run out, it will still work form many years to come.
Waterproof, DualSim+mSD, replaceable battery, IPS (PLS) 720p screen, 3.5mm jack....whats there not to like ?
edit : Just for info, "Orange" is a Service provider in France, on on their website, they state that it has no working FM Radio.
Maybe its just a French thing ? (I bought mine from a webshop).

Indeed, this kind of phone is becoming very rare. I was actually on the verge of buying a Motorola LEX L11 (a "police phone"), as it also has those features, but its cost is prohibitive if you have no use for its special radio connectivity, and the phone functionality is actually inferior in several ways. So I was really happy when the 4S appeared at a fraction of the price.

Well, just flashed the Dutch version, PHN-G398FNXXU1ASH1_G398FNOXM1ASH1-20190806 and still no FM Radio.
beginning to think its not possible to activate it....
Going to try Greek next, and then Swedish after that, seeing as we have one confirmed Swedish phone with it functioning...

Sérieux, tu n'as trouvé que la Rom Australienne !!
Tu as choisi quoi comme Région ? Il ne me trouve rien dans SamFirm, ni NEE, ni EEA, ni XSA..... ?
Tu n'as pas eu de soucis pour l'activation du téléphone avec une Sim Europeene ?
je te remercie, je vais faire l'essai.
Translation of the Original post :
"Hi, I'm French, and i had the same problem as you. I installed the Australian Rom G398FNXXU1ASH1_CL16564893_QB25260991_REV00_user_low_ship_meta_OS9.tar.md5, and then miraculously got the FM Radio back."
Having just tried the Greek Rom, and it seemingly getting stuck on the "Samsung" Boot screen, i went back and flashed the Dutch PHN Rom, mainly just to check if i'd bricked something.
That flashed fine.
Will try the NEE version tomorrow, and then the Australian version

OK, merci.
J'ai pas reussi avec SamFirm, mais il ne me trouve rien.
C'est peut-être le réseau du boulot qui bloques.
Je suis en train de le choper de samsung-firmware.org, mais à 115Ko/s
étrangement, la Rom Australienne est plus petite que les autres...2.9Go contre 3.3Go...
Translation :
SamFirm doesn't find anything for me, maybe a work network problem.
I'm getting the file from Samsung-firmware.org, but at 115Kb/s
The Australian Rom is smaller, only 2.9GB instead of 3.3GB for the others...

The Australian Rom worked fine.
It started out with Vietnamese language by default, but worked.
FM Radio is back, and working very well
Going to check for a week or so, to make sure everything is fine.

Have you noticed whether the audio gets any louder than with an EU ROM? I have already disabled the high volume warning using the trick with the QuickShortcutMaker app, but I wonder if there is also some lower absolute volume limit in the EU firmware, similar to how it is in EU iPhones.

Bonjour
non je n'ai pas remarqué une hausse ou baisse du volume je suis très heureux que vous ayez retrouvé la radio FM par ce que moi aussi j'y suis très attaché. Par contre j'aimerais beaucoup l'enraciner root mais je ne trouve pas de solution ? au revoir
