[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

There are many variants to the phone.

You need to be specific with the model number,or you may get the wrong information.

It may be because you are not rooted,that you cannot install apk's.

can someone tell me what

Binary Flash Counter means ?

i am thinking of installing omega 9.0 rom as it allows me to flash 3Minit Framework which has tons of customisation.

do i need to root my stock rom then install recovery and so on ?

or can i install recovery some how and flash the ROM straight away.

ive been searching quite a bit today

thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

For binary counter,Google Triangle Away.

For installation of Omega, you should root it with Chainfire Auto root,then flash TWRP recovery, as recommended by indie.

Noob question alert:

im a noob android user and i want to install wanamlite rom but i have a question:

i already installed cwm recovery and activated the root so i can recover all my things through titanium BUT when i look in the Installation steps it's written:

Don't use the Root option from recovery (you don't need it)

so if i have already root and wanam rom is rooted when i'll flash this rom there is going to be software conflict?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
It means the rom is pre-rooted so you don`t have to be rooted. You do however need CWM/TWRP to flash the rom. Just place the rom on the sdcard, full wipe (data factory reset, wipe caches and format system) and flash the rom and you`ll be allright.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howfunny22:
ok but my phone is already rooted through CWM because i had to backup all my stuff with titanium. what should i do before i install wanam rom ? do i need to remove the root that came with CWM or just install wanam rom and everything will be ok?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Just wipe, flash the rom and restore your apps with TB afterwards. Root is not an issue and you don`t have to remove it.

This is hardware, when the electrons move through ur phone friction is generated causing heat. The heavier/more complicated the process is on the phone, the more power is needed from the phone. Since the phone doesn't have a fan, the heat doesn't really escape well but the engineers at samsung designed everything to be safe. There's really nothing to worry about there.

Its not that hard:

1. Download a rom from Sammobile http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/, sign in first

2. Extract the rom ONCE with 7-zip till you get a folder containing a md5.file

3. Enable usb debugging on your phone

4. Power off the phone and then hold volume down + power button to get in downloadmode, once in press volume up.

5. Place the md5 file in PDA and don`t check any item besides Autoreboot and F.reset.time

6. Connect the phone with usb and IDCOM should light up and show a COM number.

7. Press start and let it do its thing.

Dropbox - Samsung official Clouding partner but less download links(means they just remove the link after so many download due to rush or after few months / years)

/efs backup not working

Hi, guys.

I'm experimenting with custom ROMs for my new Galaxy S4 I9505 and I've heard repeatedly that it's crucial to make a backup of my /efs folder. I've been trying to do this all day with no success.

I tried doing it in the terminal emulator app using some command lines, and kept getting errors (e.g. "tar: not found") and also tried backing up EFS using CWM and TWRP recoveries.

When I try to do the backup using CWM/TWRP, the process ends almost instantly saying it's successful, but the backup file has no size whatsoever and can't be found anywhere.

I'm super frustrated at this point. Does anybody know what's wrong?
