Make a copy of ALL the files you wanna keep on your internal storage.

Flash stock firmware for NA5 and click off the auto reboot box in Odin

Boot into stock recovery and do a factory wipe (this will wipe internal storage)

After it boots then root... flash recovery and then Omega

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Xode:
-Together with the stock rom you get the stock kernel too .... and Omega V21 + also offers you the same stock kernel, which can be found in Omega Files.....

-e.g.Titanium backup or nand backup from custom recovery....

I did a Titanium backup before flashing, will flashing stock erase user files on the SDcard?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SherlockHolmes2013:
Yes, move the TB backup files to your external SD card or PC before you start.

I figured most people know all these things by this time.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] cdzo72:
Doing a factory reset from stock recovery will wipe internal storage. .. not external. Just flashing without doing the factory reset will not wipe... but then again without the wipe it may just keep bootlooping

How do i get user files off the phone if i cannot boot it?

Had this issue as well. Reinstalled no wipe at least 10 times. The trick for me me was to flash without xposed framework / wanam xposed & gravity box and leave them uninstalled.

Next to this I didnt uninstall bloatware apps via titanium backup (normaly i delete samsung hubs / google books etc etc.).

Now it works for 5 days without reinstall :)

Goodluck!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] phil.o:
The broken screen rotate seems to be caused by the Xposed framework, as already mentioned.

The only way to get it working is reflashing the ROM without installing Xposed.

But somehow not all users are affected?! oO

As [MENTION=4671164]Xode[/MENTION] said in our private Omega forum some time ago, his screen rotate is still working although he has Xposed framework installed too?!

Is your screen rotation still working, my friend? ;)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Xode:
Hi phil.o,

Yes, rotation and everything else works great as that time :D

I made a video for confirmation Omega V21.1 + Rotation.....mp4 ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] phil.o:
And I just don't get why it's obviously working for you and for many others not. :confused:

Do I need to worry about bootloader?

I understand I also must flash a updated modem first. Anything else?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] CarlM34:
If you are going to flash 21.1 then yes the bootloader is important!

Follow the instructions in the OP and all should be fine.

Alternatively you can flash Stock Leaked NA5......install recovery then flash 21.1 with full wipe!

Good Luck;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Xode:
I'm wondering the same thing .... I made ​​a factory reset, all formatted, flashed Omega V21 and then I install everything from scratch without restoring anything except Google things ( Contact+app.) who've pulled over the account .... after that everything works ( together with Xposed modules) as it should.....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] radiobicho:

Hello

This rom is amazing but there is only 1 problem. When I long press the home button it doesn't bring me to recent apps it brings me to shutdown and reboot options just like when you hold power button down. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

just want to have the recent apps option to open via long pressing the home button.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] s2dh:
Is there any way of going back to v19?

My phone is dead now due to v21.

I have tried everyting possible to get this working, i have even gone back to stock which loads (lost my user files in the process, so highly annoyed and frustrated).

Just want to get my phone back to a working Omega Rom, someone please help.

I have literally tried all sugestions to get this working, followed all instructions etc..

~EDIT~ after returing to stock and then rooting, then installing Philz Touch and then flashing Omega Rom v21 i boot into the Samsung text and no further now. If this helps...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] NoOneCanHelpMe:
if you've lost your files now, so go to recovery and format everything.

then turn off your phone and manually go to Download mode and flash stock ROM.

install recovery

install Omega 21.1 (it's rooted)

and wait to boot! it might take some time, up to 20 min

:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] s2dh:
I have already tried that a few times.

Q) At the first boot should this be sitting at the "Samsung" text logo for 20 minutes or the Omega spinning logo (because I am not seeing the Omega Logo at all)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] zukri90:
Yes you can. I'm on the latest bootloader and currently running V19 as the sdcard is not working on V21.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] andreasy:
Try to exclude wanam if you have it, reboot and try again. For me, within videos (only), I don't have autorotate but I can rotate manually with the button.

Wanam has an option that blocks rotation in videos and allows only manual rotation. I never selected that btw so I thought its default behaviour.

I'd like to know how did you go back from v21 to v19, just reflash, or with full wipe ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] phil.o:
Screen rotation broke immediately after installing Xposed without installing/enabling any module.

Full wipe is always recommended if you are facing any issues.

what would you suggest for a better battery life with omega v21.1?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] 8axter:
Backup:

Make sure to make and keep in a safe place an efs backup - nadroid backup - titanium backup - etc, in case you ever need to restore!

Installation Instructions:

1. Backup your device (nadroid backup, titanium backup, efs backup ... etc)

2. Copy rom to your device

3. Flash modems (If you already have the correct modems, ignore this step):

Power Off your device completely

Wait a little and then power on device to download mode (Power button + Home button + Volume down button)

**If you are having the old bootloader XXUB flash GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUBMH1.tar file with odin by selecting phone.

**If you are having the new bootloader XXUD flash GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUEMJ5.tar file with odin by selecting phone.

Go to Settings and make sure that modems flashed ok

Stuck on spinning logo

Hi,

I came from wanamlite rom and followed the instructions to each letter. Flashed the modem and boot loader and restarted and checked that it had installed correctly. Only thing is instead of twrp I used phiz touch and after flashing omega 21.1 im stuck on the boot screen.

Initially, I waited for 7 8 minutes before restarting but i have tried reflashing, no wipe and full wipe and this is my 6 or 7th time i have flashed and currently still stuck on the logo and has been spinning for 27 minutes.

Any help would be appriciated as the knox counter has gone to 0x01 and when trying to restore, the recovery says md5 mismatch so wont let me restore either.

Cheers.

Edit: Not sure if this is any way related..when going into recovery i have 2 extra lines that says Recovery is not seandroid enforcing and warranty : recovery

Use twrp recovery as recommended in the opening post. A lot of issues I see is probably related to using another recovery.

Hi there,

Flash the latest Stock LEAKED NA5 firmware via Odin.......

1. Factory Reset device before hand.

2. Turn device of completely and leave it for a couple of minutes.

3. Prepare Odin (ensure Kies is disabled) with firmware

4. Manually put phone in download mode (power + volume down--------then volume up)

5. Attach USB to phone/PC and let Odin see it.

6. Start Odin

7. Let it finish and phone reboot

8. Check everything works with stock

9. Turn phone off again

10. Flash Recovery (TWRP) in Odin

11. Make sure phone boots still.

12. Factory reset device.

13. From recovery.....Wipe cache/data/system

14. Flash ROM FULL WIPE also.

15. Try not to install wanam/exposed etc just yet (just a thought)

16. Let phone reboot (could take sometime)

Fingers crossed

Right, I have had many issues getting v21.1 installed, tried everything and now i have it installed.

If you get a boot loop or stuck at the Samsung splash screen (my fix was) -

Get an old 8gb sdcard (format it), copy Omega v21.1 to it

Re-flash the the modem and bootloader from the OP via Odin.

Install TWRP from the link in the OP.

Then install reboot to TWRP recovery and install Omega v21.1.

Seem like my issue was memory card related.

The zip would not flash from the phone storage, also from my 64gb card.

tried first time from the 8gb card and this worked first time, no issues (except a little slowing down of the spinning Omega disk - but hey, i can live with that for the install of such a large sized zip/rom).

Now fully installed after 3 days of testing and troubleshooting...
