Omega ROM Problem

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right place where I should be asking this but I badly need help.

I followed the instructions installing Omega ROM 4.4.2 on my GT-i9505. I flashed the needed components successfully and installed the ROM successfully.

I have included just a few apps I need, took out most Samsung Apps. So the problem begins when the phone is locked.

When I unlock it, the screen just freezes, blacks out, sometimes goes to the home screen. sometimes goes back to the lock screen.

When I try to change the lockscreen the only option available are PIN and Password. I like using PIN. I enter my desired PIN and voila, goes nothing changes at all and stays at being at Swipe setting.

I tried to change every setting that I thought related. I first encountered this a year ago when I encrypted the phone but the strange thing is, this is a new install and after trying to encrypt the phone a year ago I've not encrypted it since and had used different ROMS before.

I tried full wipe from the recovery and installation but the problem stays the same.

Could it be the ROM?

TIA.:(

ROM: I9505_Omega_v33_XXUGNF1_md5_DC6E3D411674A64996C214DBC7AEE516

Recovery: openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-jfltexx

Bootloader: BL_I9505XXUFNAD_481100_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

Not registered on Network

I have galaxy S4 GT-I9500, I was using the stock Rom untill I rooted the device and installed the Hassan Rom. Meanwhile I read that from SamMobile I can download and install the official 4.4.2 firmware. I downloaded and flashed with odin the the firmware for Pakistan. After flashing everything else works fine but "Not registered on network" always flashes whenever i make a call. I tried to recover from the backup I made but the problem is still there. I have also tried to flash different modem through Odin and also through Philz recovery but no result.

Kindly help me to resolve this issue. I would highly grateful.

You may have just bricked your phone. Tried flashing the recovery again?

Have you checked their ROM's modem? Usually ROM developers include Modems for the ROMs they make.

Well...i think it was turned on by itself and drain battery and also sdcard1 enforcing misbehave (dunno why) after charging battery a little and tried to boot recovery without mounted sdcard1 it booted. After that format it again and now i'm with fresh cm11 rom. Start restoring apps now.

P.S. My advice is (if you don't want heart attack or something): don't leave battery in device when you are not finish with flashing and don't have enough time to finish it:D

Can someone please tell me why custom Touchwiz Rom are not working?

So some time ago I used Odin to make a full flash (Bootloader, Modem etc) to F1 Firmware.

Worked fine and booted.

Then I installed an AOSP Rom (Broodplanks Rom) and all worked fine.

I had my system in F2FS but I am back to ext4.

Now I wanted to try a Touchwiz based rom.

So far I tried 2 Roms but none gets past Bootlogo. One is even stuck before (Stuck before bootlogo).

If i flash back the AOSP rom, the AOSP Rom boots.

Before flashing any rom I did a full wipe (wipe cache, dalvik and system).

Someone knows the reason why TW Roms are not booting for me?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinySide:
You formatted your system partition to a different format? You probably screwed up your partition in some way, so now tw roms which are 4x bigger in size then aosp doesn't fit anymore
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xk0niR:
Yes, I had /system /data and /cache formatted into F2FS using Ktoonsez TWRP (hope his Name is correct).

But I am back to ext4 (checked with Mount | grep ext4).

You could be right. Maybe not all is back to normal.

I will use Odin and try completly clean again.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xk0niR:
You can still get into Recovery?

You might want to try e2fsck command. It can repair and show you corrupt data.

I myself always downloaded aromafm, installed in recovery and used it´s terminal emulator.

I don´t know the exact command anymore (think it was e2fsck /data if you want repair /data but I would also do it for /system just in case).

Before using fsck you have to make sure the partition you want use e2fsck on needs to be unmounted.

Maybe works, I am not an expert myself

Edit:

Maybe this video helps understand a bit:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAQOT98RK-c

So if I am correct you can´t just write /data while using e2fsck you need to use the /dev/block... way

Wouldn't it be much easier to restore your 10 days old backup and redo any modifications you made since then.

Restoring a corrupt data partition is very difficult and even you you manage to salvage anything may still lead to issues in the future

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
When coming from a stable situation and doing a minor upgrade a dirty flash (only cache and dalvik wiped) should be OK.

You can always do a full upgrade if you run into issues.

For your info, I haven't done a full wipe in over 7 months now and I flash multiple ROM version a week.

Well updating removes root as you well know because of Samsung's anti-root policy. Now you would just have to wait until the devs root the new firmware and release a stable method of doing it to us. Or you could look around on how to downgrade and flash a prerooted rom.

I keep having a weird occurance with my 9505.

I installed CWM & a pre rooted rom.

I have needed to restore factory settings which broke the phone from booting properly, and CWM throwing an error when trying to get into it.

The phone goes into bootloop when i restore factory settings, and if i do manage to get into CWM to fix permissions, upon reboot it then freezes on the GALAXY logo (doesnt get to the samsung bootloop) nothing i do get get past this, i then have to reflash the ROM.

When i reflash the rom it manages to also change the recovery to the stock recovery, so i have to flash that again...

I got a headache, I've had 9305 and the recovery lasted plenty flashes unlike this one, is there something that i need to do differently???

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
Without any info which pre routed Rom you flashed it's hard to tell what went wrong.

Without this info the only advise I can give is to do a factory reset before flashing the Rom not afterwards.

I know some recovery's have issues with doing a factory reset. I'm using Philz without any issues.

EDIT [MENTION=329570]malybru[/MENTION] at least our advise is consistent :D

According to this only selected carrier models support the AWS 1700/2100 MHz band.

So you could try to find a stock Wind Mobile FW for your phone and flash that.
