Hi guys, I'm currently running Omega ROM atm. However up until this point I have only been flashing custom roms/kernels. What is the best way for me to update my bootloader?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
The best way is probably to NOT update it. If you do you will end up with that Knox nonsense

Sent from your phone. You should be more careful where you leave that thing.

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

In answer to 1.

S4 is on Android 4.2.2.

A lot of developers have not updated to this yet,so , they will not work on our phones.

Be patient.

I am sure people are catching up slowly.

Keep checking,or email the developers.

:)

Now I managed to get a recovery on my device but I have no idea which ROM I should use. I don't want anything fancy, just a deodexed rom so i can customize some stuff but the only one I found was without the samsung apps which I do want and I'm not sure if I should get Me2 or me3 or whatever. my device's baseband version/build number ends in me2 idk if that matters.

Can't delet emails from server...

Dear all,

Since some days ago, all my deleted messages from my S4 (I'm using the mail app: K-9) aren't deleted from the server... (IMAP). It used to work fine and without any change from my side I'm not able to remove permanently the emails from my phone. I'm using android 4.2.2 and I have already checked in the K-9 programme that I have the option "remove e-mails from server" marked...

I also tried to configure the email programme that comes with the mobile but it's even worse! After removing the e-mails from the mobile they appear again, not only on the server but also on the phone! :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFex:
Hey all,

I have a rather strange Problem.

I flashed my S4 with a pre rooted ROM, was unhappy and went back to the stock ROM.

I believe it could have been a mistake to install CWM recovery 6.0.3.2-4 before flashing with the pre rooted ROM.

Now gladly I am still able to enter recovery via the CWM ROM manager on the phone.

But when I try to use Volume_Up + Home + Power it just shows the little blue text line in the upper left corner for a moment and then goes dark.

When I let go of the buttons it reboots into normal mode.

Any ideas? Maybe s.o. has come across the same prob?

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

Are you trying to get a stock recovery back on your phone?

If so,djembey has them on his THREAD,HERE

Make sure you choose the correct one for your phone (so that it matches the number of your current ROM)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFex:
Hey Lewis,

I also tried Samsung Link and ran into the same problems as you.

I'm afraid, all you/we want is just not possible :( (hopefully "yet")...

Whatever file the Samsung meta collector program finds on your computer (although I guess it actually restricts it's search on the folders you share in the control center), it shows under the appropriate categories.

For example, If you share a video folder that contains also jpegs and your users folder, you'll find a confusing mix of ALL pics contained anywhere in this folders (also the respective sub folders) under the "Pictures" tab.

The service is an amazing idea, but sadly far from perfection.

It's simply not there yet, I guess we'll have to be patient for a little while longer, until Samsung's development catches up to our needs.

But I'm full of hope they'll make something of it eventually. The S4 was just released, so let's give them some more time.

From what we learn here in the forums, things are far from perfect regarding the S4 on every front :p

Thanks, dude, I guess that's what I'll have to do then, set it back completely.

Already tried flashing over clockwork via odin, but to no avail :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LukosTheWolf:
I had the same problem. I went with TWRP recovery and that seems to work fine. I noticed sometimes things don't seem to flash correctly the first time through (at least with Odin), even though no errors are reported. Perhaps it's a matter of reflashing CWM? At any rate some folks reported success with flashes not "sticking" by unchecking "AutoReboot" in Odin, and as soon as the flash is done pull the cable and battery. Good luck!

Does anyone else have an I9505 which randomly shuts off when under minor load?

Even when sometimes browsing the phone goes weird and shuts off completely, and when starting it, it either goes off in the middle of booting, or right after the system has booted. If I leave it off for a few minutes, it works fine again.

I9505 stock 4.2.2 rooted

All started after first flashing 4.3.

Currently as I do not have much of a post count I'm not able to pitch this question directly to the developer... however maybe someone here may know or can post for me.

I chucked a custom ROM onto my S4 i9505 last night because I was bored. Foxhound 3.2 was the choice.

I have tried absolutely everything I can at work in regards to flashing different modems, kernels and reinstalling the ROM, however whenever my phone switches to back to 3G from 4G(LTE) when the screen turns off it looses all network connectivity until 4G is available again.. (Grey crossed circle)
