Had this error once, don't know why. I simply turned on the phone then went back to download mode (after turning it off, hold vol down + power, don't use the quick reboot) and it worked. :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] scott2ride:
Hmmm... still so much to learn about this flashing stuff :)

I have flashed probably 30-40 roms but some things are still not clear... So some advice please :D

For the new Omega 2.0 it says... "recommended Recovery: TWRP Recovery - Boot to Recovery and flash Omega Rom with Full wipe." So my question is... I have loaded TWRP recovery onto the phone. But I already have "Philz Touch 5 Recovery " (ver 5.06.6) installed with CMW base Ver 6.0.3.2 installed.

Is that ok or do I remove Philz and just use TWRP????

And am I best to get into recovery via TWRP or by selecting recovery in the power off restart menue?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] trueking7:
Don't format data (asks you to type yes) in twrp, it's a known bug, you will be able to boot once but not again. Make nandroid. Flash stock. Flask custom recovery restore nandroid. You can factory reset / wipe System as much as you want just don't format data.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dandroid13:
No, no, you need to use Odin to flash TWRP, then when you boot to recovery you'll not see Philz anymore, and there's no problem to use quick reboot to recovery, only download mode has issues with it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] glennd:
Twrp is recommended just because it is tried and tested and works well on our S4. Not to say Philz doesn't work. Doesn't matter how you get into recovery thru app or start menu they both shut phone down to reboot into recovery.

Did flash from internal or external sd?

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

You can format data just as long as you have your custom rom on your sd card to flash straight after wipe. And then you will need to flash rom again from internal sd with full wipe after you let rom settle.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] glennd:
Fix permissions in recovery, if that doesn't work then you might need to reflash rom with no wipe and all should be back to normal. Did you flash both mods at the same time?

Hey guys I'm another person getting no wifi . I just have a question regarding flashing a new modem. I plan to unroot and return my phone to Samsung if it becomes faulty.

I have a copy of my stock modem on my Pc that I downloaded. In case I need to use my warranty. Yes you change your modem back to stock at anytime.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dentimarius:
Thank you very much....I did so and everything is just fine. WiFi is working, the rom is smooth and stable....just like it was on my old S3...

I did not change the recovery because I have read a lot about the TWRP recovery data wipe problem....

Flashed stock rom(XXU BMGA, including new LTE modem), root, flashed Philz recovery --- all from Odin

Than, in recovery, flash Omega 9 from external with full wipe from recovery, then flash again Omega 9 from internal sd with full wipe from aroma installer.

If any one has the laggy problem with Omega9 try the upper procedure. In my case solved all problems.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] scott2ride:
Ok... I simply added TWRP to the phone as an App. Where do I download it to flash it with Odin? And in what section of Odin do I put it?

And you may have solved my issue with trying to use Odin to load a new Modem. It kept failing... but I was getting into download mode using the easy way... via the reboot menue :)

Ill try that again :good:

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

Trying that now!,... I was rebooting into download :D

EDIT! BUGGER... didnt work either.

Maybe I just need to load up Omega 2.0 Rom to see what happens there!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jbomba:
OK can you point me in the right direction to download factory modems so I can find mine
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dentimarius:
As fas as I know, the TWRP recovery is available only as .IMG file.... This has to be flashed in phone, and not to put it lika an app...

To flash .IMG files you need Quickflasher program. At recovery section you have to put the TWRP image.

You find Quickflasher here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2333807

And TWRP image here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2238442

But, be careful using TWRP recovery, because wiping data partition is dangerous.!!!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] scott2ride:
TWRP is definitely available as an APP in the App store... . As I have the app installed do I need to download the IMG file and load it?

Also, is it worth replacing my existing Philz Recovery with TWRP ? Especially as your last line above mentions the dangers of wiping the data partition???

Oh... and even though TWRP app is installed, going into recovery always ends up with Phils Touch 5 recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Post a link of the TWRP app you think you found on Play Store, TWRP is a recovery and can not be installed as an app.

Could it be you found TWRP manager, that's an add on to the TWRP recovery and not the recovery itself.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jbomba:
last question to the devs. Do you think wifi will be fixed on v10 im thinking about waiting it out
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
There is no WiFi problem if you just follow the installation instructions.

So nothing needs to be fixed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Milamber:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jbomba:
Well it seems there must be issues with specific modems. Is this going to be resolved?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dentimarius:
The WiFi problem apear if you don't have the latest LTE modem installed on your device. Once you flash the latest LTE BMGA modem, the problem is gone...

I flashed the latest LTE modem once, and the WiFI problem was gone forever.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jbomba:
OK I was under the impression that all these modems are optimised for different regions guess I'm wrong thanks for your help

Well...if you open ODIN 3.04 DON'T UNTICK anything, leave it as it is.

It is very important to shut down the phone and boot into download mode with the 3 button combo (volume down, home and power button). DO NOT USE THE REBOOT OPTION OF THE ROM!!

btw:

What phone do you have? i9505? Or a Verizon or what ever there exists... :D

wifi still dosent woek...i did the :

3. If wifi is not working do this to fix it:

Download XXUBMGA LTE modem (Modem can also be downloaded from Omega Files Free & Pro).

Power off your device completely, then power it up again to download mode (do not reboot at once to download mode)

Flash with odin 3.07 the XXUBMGA LTE modem, if wifi is not fixed then flash again the new LTE modem with odin and check again.

Notice this will not change your GSM Modem, if you want to change it then you can do it form Omega Files

didnt help...back to different...hope that will be a solution..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasy:
I wonder if Indie could integrate the LTE modem into the ROM so that it is there from initial flash. That would cut the wifi related posts to half.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dentimarius:
1. Extract your firmware zip

2. Turn OFF phone completely.

3. Boot into download mode with Vol-Down + Power buttons.

4. Start Odin 3.04 and put the md5 firmware in PDA. (NOT THE ZIP)

5. Flash stock firmware, then boot into stock recovery and make a Factory reset.

6. Flash stock firmware again

Root your phone using Toolkit, is very easy to do it.

7. Flash Philz Touch tar.md5 (untick Auto reboot and Re-Partition is unticked) from PDA in Odin > http://d-h.st/wSF

8. Start phone and do the config, let phone settle a few minutes, then boot into Recovery with button combo.

9. Flash Omega v9.0 from external sd card, from recovery full wiping from Philz recovery(option to install new rom)

10. Copy Omega 9.0 in internal sd card, remove battery, start in recovery mode, flash again Omega 9.0 from internal sd card, full wipe in aroma installer.....

Always to enter in download/recovery mode do NOT use restart menu.....ONLY remove batery, put it back, use 3 buttons combo......this is very important

Another, not an other.

secondly, and flashing a kernel is not no damn lazy fix for ****, I and a lot of people use this rom on different S4 models, like the m919, or the i337 and flashing a kernel does fix the wifi issue. Matter of Fact OP does state that if your coming from a different model, flashing your carriers device specific kernel fixes most of the issue users run into. So before you get all apprehensive to pass a comment next time state your point in a non offensive way.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
And even for our American friends, flashing another kernel is to fix the non-compatible kernel issue not the WiFi issue.

The WiFi fix is an integral p[art of the ROM and the only reason it needs to be flashed separate is because ATM there is no way to do it via recovery.

If users are taking the easy route (won't use the term lazy, it seems to offend people) by just flashing an other kernel and skip the WiFi fix it means that after every new ROM flash they still use a part of an older ROM, and that part will become more obsolete as time passes. That can lead to incompatibilities and instability in the future.

So I stick to my earlier statement that flashing an other kernel just get WiFi working is the wrong advise and isn't helping users in the long run.
