It's almost the same that happened to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexu...00000-t3257465 with the difference that he had a nexus 6 and solved it correcting the permissions of /persist partition and I dont have that partition.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I have an sgh i337 with gt i9500 firmware!!!

Hello there guyz,
thanks for taking the time to read and maybe respond to my questions. I just bought an unlocked S4 SGH i337 from ebay. While i was trying to manually upgrade it to newest firmware i realized that the firmware installed on it, was an 9500 variant!! I checked the device, it has sgh i337 written all over it, and i downloaded cpu-z and check that indeed, the hardware of the device is this of an sgh i337 but the software that is installed is from 9500. I dont know how and why did the seller do this, but i need your help on how to un-make this monstrosity. In the end i want to install lollipop on the device but i am not sure how should i proceed. My guess is to try to revert to stock, but i am afraid if i am gonna lose the "unlocking". Please leave your valuable inputs on the comments, while i will be searching over the internet and see if i can get a clue. Thank you.

i9500 Always Awake when Charging

I'm having some issues with my phone being awake when it is charging. I've checked the most obvious causes such as daydream, and the keep awake setting, but neither were active.

I'm not sure what actually keeps it awake as battery stats end up being erased at 100%. I have Wakelock Detector installed but that doesn't give me any conclusive evidence either since again, the stats are gone once the phone is fully charged. This is mostly an inconvenience as after disconnecting the charger, the battery use is about normal and I can control the wakelocks through Greenify, Amplify and the Privacy Guard's keep awake function.

Has anyone else experienced/solved this issue before and what did you do?

My current setup is:
Android 6.0.1
Resurrection Remix ROM
Nevermore Kernel

I have noticed that most ROMs above 4.4 seem to have an adverse effect on battery life on my S4 and my Galaxy Tab 2. 6.0 seems to be giving me the same standby time of 4.4 however on my tab, so I was hoping that it'd do the same for my S4 as I want to move away from using the Davlik runtime.

I reset the fuel gauge, gave a reset, disassembled the phone n cleaned it for dust particles but nothing helped. I am using lollipop firmware and it is rooted. Any help appreciated.
