Hello guys,

i'm new here and kinda noob about the rom-installing thing. I did it once and i know the processes. However, after the data and cache wipe, when the installation is starting, two red error messages appears:

E: Footer is wrong

E: Verification signature failed

Then the phone reboots and the Samsung rom starts again.

This is the rom I am talking about : http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2544474

What can I do?

Thanks in advance :)

sensor

Hi guys just a quick question, is it normal that the proximity sensor is always on while the screen is on? I just notice that my sensor is on using another phone's camera but it is not noticeable in my eyes, does it cause battery drain?

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to update the stock firmware of my rooted Galaxy S4 4.4.2 I9505 XXUGNH and keep the root with out losing data and tripping knox? If so, could anyone please guide me through the steps of doing so? Is lollipop available for S4?

I rooted my phone through towel root.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkerTimes:
Lollipop is not available at the moment. You can't keep root access when you want to update, you have to root again. Means you have to update, flash a Towelroot working kernel root and reflash the right kernel back.

Thanks and Query on Saferroot to avoid Tripping Knox

Dear Mr. DeepankarS

Thanks a lot for the pointwise prompt response. It is of great help to me.

But before going ahead with rooting using CF Autoroot, there is a clarification.

As per your response , there is no way to avoid tripping knox on i9500.

But I just read about saferroot. Is i9500 XXUEMJ9 ROM version possible to be rooted by saferroot without tripping the knox counter/warranty?

Thanks again for the response

am66
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepankarS:
You asked about CF-Autoroot, that wont let you. CF-Autoroot if flashed via odin will trip knox.

There is a saferoot.zip somewhere here, I dont exactly remember where, for Galaxy S4 4.3(Jelly bean) that wont let anything "custom" trip knox :)

Hey everybody!!!! I'm freaking out right now. Many said that I should flash the stock firmware on my phone to fix "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available." I already did that and all it did to my phone was just the removal of my root access but the warning is still there. Please help me!!!!!!

You can install it with Odin as well, there is no need to get an official status. Just flash update with Odin and root again

1.) I rooted and flashed my phone with 3.09, does using 3.10 will not make it worse? 2.) Will it fail if I don't do factory reset before and after? 3.) What if it still shows after I repeat the process? H
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarlM34:
Are you just trying to get your phone back to a fully stock state?

Odin 3.10 will not make your phone worse...I have been using it for ages!!

Sometimes it is necessary to reflash stock again....Its just one of those things. It is always advisable to factory reset before and after just be to sure its a clean flash!

Hi everybody. So my question would be that how is possible to move a game together with save game. In my case the game is the "CarX Drift Racing Full". I spent some money and I earned a lot of. I upgraded my S2 to S4 and I would like to continue the game in S4. I used Titanium Backup Pro , but after restoring the game on my S4 at the game's intro stuck .... If i download the game and I restore only the game data nothing happens. My cars and coins aren't unlocked ... I tried Helium and DataSync but nothing helped ... Could any body try it if it's works for him? it's only 10 min to test. I tested but no succes .... I thought 1st time that the game progress it's saved on cloud but not ... This game made under Unity3D so maybe there is another save file what's not in the usual place. I tried to contact the devs but no reply. Please somebody help me , or my money gone to vain...

Many Thanks

But after I rooted my phone, it started to do odd stuffs like restarting when turning the screen off and Bluetooth, WiFi and hotspot turn on and off by themselves and sometimes don't even turn on.

Just use lollipop repo instead of kitkat.

Start with cm, omni, nameless, etc

(omni has booting lollipop), but be prepared for a lot of work. I don't think any are even fully operational, and will probably hit errors etc. I say go with those, because pure aosp would be a nightmare for you or even a seasoned person.

I've been trying to flash the latest CM11 nightly to my rooted Galaxy S4, its the I-9505 model on 3 UK (jftlexx).

I get the status 7 error when I'm in CWM when I try and flash the latest nightly jftlexx build but it works fine on the jftle build, but that build was released back in Feb this year and is fairly unstable. The CM installer works fine but it installs a build from August, which I've found to be unstable too. I have looked around on the XDA forums for hours and on loads of different google searches with no luck.

If anyone could help me out on this it would be greatly appreciated :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepankarS:
Haha dont do that. Read till you understand. If you dont, post here again. :)

Uneducated experimenting is not supported here. :P

And to make it simple.

-If youre warranty is void, flash a custom recovery like Philz recovery or TWRP via odin.

-Flash the latest su binaries from chainfire's thread.

-Disable knox on your phone. And alas! You have a rooted phone :)

Use TWRP

Or unzip the zip go into the meta folder and open the updater script and remove all the getprop lines at the top save it zip up meta system and boot.img and flash it.

But, I dont have any smart features on.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pincopallowfs:
I never heard a custom recovery do such things, recovery doesn't match with gestures.

Maybe gestures will not work on many custom roms, but it depends on the rom, not on recovery.

I have philz touch and imperium rom, my gestures always worked.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
Try wiping just the data from the affected apps first. (I know you already wiped cache for them)

You can do that from the manage apps menu in settings as well.

If that works it will prevent you from having to redo all of your ROM settings, which you will lose if you wipe all data.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swizzy88:
I tried that too when I cleared the cache in the manage apps menu but it didn't help.

Proximity sensor is the sensor left of the speaker. The 2 between the speaker and camera are the motion sensor (closest to speaker) and the sensor used for ambient temp sensor (closest to the camera) . One you are saying is always on is the motion sensor for motion features.
