[Q] some question for my first rom change - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all this is my fist post for the s4 and i think someone will flame a bit for my noob level
im not completely noob in first case ,i had an hd2 for 3 year and changed all OS and Android roms like a paranoid for better performance and so on
i have by 2 months this fantastic phone s4 italian version i9505 not branded so i think its the same of all of u
now i tested it for long time in stock mode its come the time to try everything i can but i have lots of doubds watching all guides i found
first question...is there a step by step guide for flash a new rom? i found someone to change kernel with odin but i still dont understand how to install clockwork to the phone to install a rom
second question..as i come from hd2 it had to be unlocked from bootloader before u can install maglr or other stuff but i didnt see anything about this on the s4,i suppose its because its not needed but ask before brick its always a good way to proceed
i read about most of i found in noob sticked post but or i missed something or i really need to read again everything,if someone can link me a guide it will be very appreciated cos sometime i confuse things to do and in wich order
thx for everyone will give me any hint and sorry for my english hehe

first q
some roms have diffrent but for most this works
1,backup
2.wipe data/factory reset
3.install zip from sd card
4 chose zip from sd crd
5./0
6 chose rom and wait
7 reboot
nope in i9500 and i9505 im not 100% sure just 99% u can ask someone else
btw didnt understand well and sorry for my english my hands are oily can't type well

[Q] how to remove custom rom from ur phone

pls i tried to install custom rom but my phone showed blank screen .
pls tell me how to removed custom rom
just flash stock rom via odin
Next time make a backup of stock before flashing a custom rom. So you can just restore it easily if you don't like the custom rom.
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
how to back up?
Go to CWM recovery (I assume you already have it) select backup and restore then backup. Restoring is same process but choose restore instead of course.
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
thanks silvane.. but.. does it will remove the current rom u are using?
It doesn't "remove" anything. Restoring from a backup overwrites your current one. So if you wanna get back to stock just restore your backup of it if you have one.

Use skins cwm for creatin n restoring backups.. It works perfectly...

Hey I know this is an old thread but say if I had to trade my phone in at some point will the CWM recovery be noticed as a root thing and be rejected or not?

First flash the stock rom via Odin.
When the flashing process completes & and your is going to restart keep out battery at the samsung logo screen.(let your phone not boot now).
Now plug in your battery again and boot in recovery mode & then wipe data and cache and then reboot

Soft bricked and clueless please someone!

Hey i've soft bricked my n7000..
basically i just need to know what exactly to do now, kernels etc
ideally id like to be running Midnote 3.3
anyone kind enough to reply with help would be seriously appreciated!
Maybe if you gave some more information on what how when and why ?
Nobody can help you on a 'hey i lost my car can someone tell me where on this planet i parked this morning?'
Agree on above poster. We need to know what rom uou were flashing from, by what method, and the issue now.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Fair enough was thinking there was a straight forward fix, as in just flash this and do this etc..
i was running Midnote 2.1, i was on LP1 and tried to flash Midnote 3.3 using CWM.. it wasn't flashing as i couldn't see the .zip rom at all..
i then done a few factory wipes and basically just wiped the davlik and cache and tried any options in CWM
The issue now is that when i boot im stuck at the samsung splash screen..
I can boot into recovery and into cwm..
And what exactly happends now ?
dead black screen ?
Samsung logo blocked ?
PC odin doesn't connect ?
Can you enter CWM recovery ?
Can you enter boot recovery ?
I think you better try and flash a safe GB kernel and rom first
Then do a full wipe, then flash whatever you like.
You can best flash through PC odin for the stock GB

Stuck at Samsung logo
Can enter CWM and recovery, odin works as far as i can tell
I would suggest trying to flash a stock gb rom via pc odin. If you get stuck at the factory.fs stage you may well be superbricked because of the cwm recoveries and wipes on lpy.
There are a few threads on sorting out a problematic emmc section. But we'll get to that afyer youve tried this.

Thank you, I don't mean to be an effort but you hardly know where I can get a safe GB kernel and rom? i just want to be sure as im getting kind of worried now
Check out dr ketans thread in the stickies of d3velopment section. Theres loaf of info there. Its pretty straight forward if you flash initially to an older rom for your region. Take a look itll make sense promise.

Doesn't really matter, go ahead and choose what you like.
Lads i seriously appreciate this.. if i get my note back up n running i'll be delighted!
so if when i flash this stock gb rom using Odin i don't need a kernel at all right?
again these must be frustrating questions but your really helping me out here

No, you just place the .tar file in Odin in the PDA section.

nope you dont need a kernel when flashing stock GB rom
but 1st keep ur fingers crossed and pray that you get through the ODIN installation method
copy the GB rom file in ODIN folder and open ODIN and click on PDA and select the downloaded GB ROM file and press START
You legends! the stock gb rom worked perfect...
now comes the slightly trickier part.. loading the Midnote 3.3 rom
anyone using this rom? 2.1 was great!
whats the safest way to flash this, kernel wise etc?
thanks again lads
also, now that im back on the stock gb rom.. do i need to root again????
i tried getting into cwm and it brought me into android recovery mode ( still had install zip from sd option)

Yes, you will need to root it if you didn't flash a GB pre-rooted ROM.
And I think the CWM.zip file is on drketan's thread.

Sorry about your phone
I in no way regret having bought a S4. I swapped it for my old S2 and I haven't had a single problem yet :good:
CF-Root and CWM (Chenglu version) works perfect and so do Titanium Backup.
As far as I know S4 i9505 have been very difficult in the matter of getting proper root and recovery.
In such a case a good advice might be to hold back flashing a bit!
So to be honest to you ... I think you just did something you shouldn't have done and IMO you only have your self to blame!

Sorry about your phone
I in no way regret having bought a S4. I swapped it for my old S2 and I haven't had a single problem yet :good:
CF-Root and CWM (Chenglu version) works perfect and so do Titanium Backup.
As far as I know S4 i9505 have been very difficult in the matter of getting proper root and recovery.
In such a case a good advice might be to hold back flashing a bit!
So to be honest to you ... I think you just did something you shouldn't have done and IMO you only have your self to blame!

my phone is an 9500
i think i do 1 error is to use this new flasher to flash phil recovery .
for all other thing i do that with s2 and s3 without any pbm.
a bad move this time i'll give it to SAV and see
CF-AUTO-ROOT is like the greatest and one of the most easiest way to get root, I don't understand why he didn't root it that way?

the only thing i not do is to use cf root (dont want my compter change)

I don't understand what he is saying? computer to change? huh?
I'm very to new to all this (SGS4 is my first smartphone ever) and don't want a bricked phone. Just here to gain more knowledge.
ps To lighten things up a bit, I regret a lot of things as well, like my first 3 wives.:silly: JK
finally no regrets
I do nothing wrong the firmware of S4 is young and very buggy that is the pbm !!!
about recovery i am used with recovery of S2 and S3 the recovery of S4 is ridiculous it's very small you must use a magnifier for read it and after a wipe the droid is red and it's written no data !!!! that's worried me but when i see an untouched S4 i understand !!!
for some app going quickly in standby mode after 2 or 3 flash it's gone i think it's a bad flash the first time, i hope that not come back...
i hope a lot of update a lot of new firmware that's the only thing can solve the multiples bug of youth.
to resume the S4 is really a nice phone

SM-P601 & want kitakat ?

So I see a lot of people from the sm-p601 group complaining that they dont have KitKat yet ...
Well not to worry if you are willing to let go of 3G until a Stock Rom is released for the device
Also it would be cool if someone could find a way to enable 3G on these roms .
Following is a list of Roms and Kernels that I have been using for sometime & they all work grreat !!
I have flashed them all with TWRP

Wait. Is this really possible??? I don't even use 3g, I just bought it because it was the only option avaliable at my country (Brazil).
EDIT:
Let me see what I'm supposed to do: root, flash custom recovery, flash the roms plus gapps? Just these things or there is something more?
EDIT AGAIN:
Can you please show me your screenshots?
Yes !

Same here , I dont use 3G , I tether it with my phone . But its good to have phone calling option
What I did -
1. Flash Twrp , when in TWRP , when you select reboot it asks if you want to root .. select yes
2. Download the ROMS to your External Sd , FORMAT everything except external SD card using TWRP, Install the downloaded ROMs using TWRP
3.Enjoy!
It works cuz both p600 and p601 are Exynos.

Yeah, I'm so lazy, I remember that I've ask myself if both had the same specs a very long time ago but I never have search it, anyway, now I know. I'm pretty much excited then, lol. Maybe I'll do video tutorial if possible otherwise I'll just give my report.
But, I don't have an external sd card, well, I think I don't but it's probably hidden somewhere deep inside my bedroom, I'll try figure out some way to get done it otherwise I'll find one sd card for me. Pretty much thanks! :laugh:

You can do it without an external sd , wipe everything except internal sd where the downloaded file is.
But I feel fully deleting keeps it as an clean install
Thanks for this info....but I would like to flash stock kitkat, how can I do it via Odin? It says fail whenever I try
no odin here too ..

Yep flashing through odin dint work for me either .
I believe something tells odin that the device is p601 and not p600, I found out this workaround by chance , so thought I'd share :silly:

thanks buddy, very usefull, in India its same situation, stupid samsung thinks they can just fool ppl by not relesing updates on time or with their other versions...anyways, I have few questions pls
1) the rom thread says its only for wifi model...so is it safe to flash those roms on our P601 ?
2) can you pls give link to TWRP recovery you flashed and steps to flash it for the first time on stock unrooted p601 pls ?
3) link to ODIN which will work to flash TWRP and stock roms
4) is flashing custom kernels really needed and does everything else work except 3g ?
5) last but most importantly, can we flash stock indian rom when we need to revert back to stock and sell device...roms are available in sammobile.com

Yes its safe , I have been personally using P600 roms for quite sometime and except for 3G all is well . ( Though I would love it if some one can make 3G Work too )
You can download Odin and TWRP that I use from this link -
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/iiaw32zz04gm1zj/Cxj7NdCJHI
Flashing Custom Kernels is not mandatory at all , tho they do have some good stuff like some touchscreen tweaks , and Ram tweaks & other complex tweaks .
Yes , when you want to sell your tablet you can flash using Odin any Stock Rom from sammobile . I have done this too :good:
