These are the steps that I did.

Flashed CF-Auto-rot zip. Did all the steps mentioned in the tutorial.

Flashed twrp (.tar one) via odin

and bang...... got bricked. I downloaded many times from different systems also. But same thing happened again & again :( .
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbomodder:
Re-flash stock again. Do it 3 times. Then let it reboot. Once done flash cf-autoroot again and let it reboot. Then install flashify via play store. Give it root permissions and select install recovery. Select either twrp/cwm/philz touch and flash via app. 100% works as done it myself.

Need help installing Albe95 S6 Full PORT ROM 4.6

Hello!

I have installed other ROMS on my Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M i9505 jfltexx without problems. Now I'm trying to install Albe95 S6 Full PORT ROM 4.6 but I'm stuck on step No 2: Update your Modem & Bootloader to the Latest Lollipop Ones. The installation process refers to this Guide, but Odin always FAILS when trying to flash MODEM.BIN or NON-HLOS.BIN files. What am I missing here? The phone is currently running Cyanogenmod 12.1.

Thank you in advance for your help!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbomodder:
Well mine is on latest btu bootloader and modem and worked fine on that rom. What you need is the bootloader.tar file which u place marked "BL". Next is modem file which will contain both files you mentioned in another tar file. Place that one in "CP". Untick auto-reboot and flash 2 or 3 times. After each flash reboot manually to download mode again and do next flash. On last (3rd) flash u can tick auto-reboot. Once booted go to playstore and download "samsung phone info" app to check its worked. If done flash albe95's rom and enjoy

Stock recovery are used to flash original (stock) firmwares..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuGmENTor:
Hi all. I may have posted here before. My wife has an Sprint S4 (Sph-l720t) that used to be mine, meaning I am not allowed to play with it that much... That is, until she had a problem. Phone randomly started freezing. (It was rooted when I had it and running the ROM of the day. When I gave it to her, I restored to stock and said Via con Dios). Now I was able to screw with it pretty much as much as I wanted to. The freezing got worse, and it started locking on the S4 logo screen, requiring a battery pull. In the end it wouldn't boot at all anymore. I ran it through Odin, and restored to the newest ROM (it won't let you flash back to an older one). It said it passed. But it wouldn't boot. Period. It would hang just like before. I tried it many times over. Tried going into recovery and wiping everything. Nada. Finally, I Odinned TWRP onto it and put an old ROM onto the sd card. I got it to boot, but it keeps restarting, and it still boot loops. Maybe every 3rd time it'll boot and run the ROM, which is more than it would do when I was flashing stock firmware. I've already written this off as a lost cause, meaning I'll try about anything. I don't care if it never works again. Knox is tripped, I have insurance but I'm sure can't collect on it because of all the stuff I've done to it. Getting her an iphone because if I'm not allowed to play with it, then have that and chat with tech support when you have a problem lol. As I finish typing this it's sitting on my desk boot looping about every 45 seconds lol. I don't expect anything to come of this, but thanks in advance to anyone with a suggestion.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kushan02:
hey bro this might help you....

first off all install a custom recovery like twrp or philz touch....

Then go into wipe options and wipe every possible option you can see (be careful with efs and modem part)

then boot to download mod and flash the official latest rom for your device....

let it boot after it boot after say 20 mins or if it doesnt boot at all....

after that remove the battery and flash via odin again...

This time it should boot...

if all goes well you are good to go...

but if it doesnt then again install a custom recovery and wipe everything a install a custom rom compaiatable for your device and see if it works...

if all of the above fails then there is a big probability that there is a fault in hardware...

hope this helps you :)

T-Mobile Wifi Calling on GPE (i9505G)

Hello,

I have been trying to find if there is a way to get (T-Mobile) wifi calling on my Galaxy S4 GPE (I9505G). I'm currently running 5.1.1 lollipop that I've updated from OTA updates. I've looked around and from what I've read is that it can't be done with stock android, it has to be a TouchWiz install. I'm not sure if there are any TW ROMs that I can install on my phone without causing issues. I did find the TOUCHLITE rom under the I9505G dev section, but that is fairly old now and the download link doesn't work anymore (file not available).

Are the TW ROMs for I9505 safe for the GPE (I9505G)? Which ones?

What options do I have to get T-Mobile wifi calling, aside from trading my S4 GPE phone for a T-Mobile branded S4?

Thanks

Formatting cache with clockworkdmod

Everytime I try to update Cyanogenmod 10.1 on my I9505 I face a lot of problems.

First of all, I'm unable to format the cache using ClockwordMod. Everytime it gets stuck on that process for a lot of time. Sometimes it gets through but then it shows a lot of errors about not being able to mount/open /cache/recovery/log and /cache/recovery/last_log.

were you on stock lollipop before flashing?

do this, flash twrp via odin, go to recovery before booting, wipe cache, dalvik cache, system, data and preload, then flash stock lollipop (or kitkat if you were NEVER on lollipop before) via odin. after that again before booting go to recovery (this will be your stock recovery after flashing the rom) and do a factory reset, and then boot into system.
