Have you installed Samsung USB driver?
ya i had installed samsung usb driver
i sucess yesterday but the version of firmware was china ver., cant open fb ,insta.
so i tried once again, but failed this time.
Hmm… Is your China model? If so, I don’t think that you can install other country firmware. China only can.
my s4 are Malaysia model
Hmm… You should not install China firmware then. Hopefully, it does not change pit partition size. Try latest Malaysia firmware see.
