Hi everybody.

Would you please help me get back to stock ? (i9505 original condition, as bought from the shop, upgradeable...)

Thanks a lot.

Here is what I did, step by step:

1/ I was on stock, S4 bought on October 1st from Germany (new batch, after July 2013 with the regional lock. I unlocked it by activating a local SIM...)

2/ Then I rooted it (CF-Auto-Root for the new SGS4 I9505 : CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip)

3/ Put [i9505][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch (philz_touch_5.15.8-i9505.zip) through ODIN.

4/ Did a Nandroid (PhilZ) and EFS backups (have them on PC)

5/ Installed Omega 12 via PhilZ recovery

I have some issues so I want to go back to STOCK:

6/ I tried to flash MGA stock ROM through Odin (I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_I9505XXUBMGA_HOME.tar.md5) but after a few seconds it turns RED with FAIL!

I tried it several times with different PCs, USB ports, cables... Always FAIL and a message on the S4 screen (something like Error : connect to Kies for emergency recovery...) and even Kies did nothing.

7/ I tried to recover from the Nandroid backup (PhilZ), I got a bootloop...

8/ So I flashed back PhilZ and Omega 12. It's almost working, just some FCs, the speaker is cracking at high volume, the phone is hot sometimes (I guess it's normal for the S4)...

Is there any way to get back to STOCK? (i9505 ORIGINAL CONDITION, as bought from the shop, UPGRADEABLE...)

THANKS

The mobile data of my phone broke when I flashed this rom. I tried evey possible thing to restore my mobile data. Flashing kernels, modems, stock firmware, nandroid backups. Everything. When I decided to return it to my carrier for repair, I couldn't find a stock firmware for my carrier. My carrier is SMART(Philippines) but when I downloaded the file from Sammobile.com, it seems that the stock firmware is from Singapore. Now I can't return it to my carrier for repair.

HOW CAN I FIX MY PHONE NOW. No mobile data at all.

after a long usage of Omega V12(from first release day,,) with abyss kernel phone was a oven battery eater(Heats so much :D:D)

Now after using Adam Kernel last one, i have a new phone :victory::victory::victory:

Battery life is twice than Abyss, no more heating on heavy usage :good:

Suggested to everyone to have all the stability and fluidity of Omega...

..and yes audio level is higher than before so at maximum level is crackling.... don't bother much...

If not, do some research. They never replied to all my challenges in regards to this which means they are guilty.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bigo72:
Something is not working for me guys. Dunno if it is a ROM issue or any other app or launcher.

I'm using Next Launcher 3D on v.12 Omega and it looks working OK.

Without any special action, from time to time, it reboots. I'm using it doing something (every time something different) and I see the boot logo.

Sometimes the temperature goes UP, I can feel it, but not always.

I uninstalled few apps, but the problem is still there.

Is there a way to understand what causes the crash and reboot? Any log to read, to figure out who is the responsible?

Thanks

Hi everybody!

I'm currently on the Rom stock MGG (swisscom, Switzerland) and I want to flash the omega 12. I just have 3 questions.

1. I want to save my pictures, music.. Can I do that with titanium backup and than restored my pictures and music?

2. The battery life is good?

And 3. Can I flash the omega 12 directly on my Rom STOCK MGG?

Thank you

I seem to be hearing some hiss and distortion when using v12 on my i9505. Using a pair of Shure SE 535 and SE 846.

However, when using WannamLite 1.5, the audio is fine (at least I couldn't hear any hiss / distortion like when using the v12).

Both ROMs were flashed with full wipes.

Yogg we are talking about amazing Omega here.....

At the beginning was to blame the rom for the bad results....

AS Daruka says we

do not need

to learn how to tweak a kernel when we have already one perfectly stable fully compatible with Omega giving to it stunning performances :D:D

we can just play with ROM modding...

modding a kernel...well too dangerous until you well know what are you doing....

Here we go

Adam Kernel

leonlfm is not the first(me included) having very bad results with Abyss... so i clearly suggest if problems to flash the above Kernel(EVEN POWERED on stunning Philz recovery:victory::victory:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] dandroid13:
Learning is always good, better than being a lazy ass noob. :)

But the thing is, any kernel should work fine, never had issues here.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] _alex74_:
modding a kernel is not walk in the park buddy:p:p... overclocking is not for everyone...(had a lot of experience with computers so...)

My choose is just theming and few mods... about kernels i prefer to choose a good one, there are already a good kernel developers...so...

On top of that you being a Omega testers saying that all kernels work fine is wrong... maybe you are lucky on your phone hardware...

Rom is unique, and once flashed as OP states, if you had issues change kernel and reflash/redownload ROM is a must!!

al lot of members here seems gain benefits changing kernel with Adam(closest to stock ;);) )

from what i remember past releases of Omega was powered by stock kernel, V11 by Adam kernel, as stated by Indie as closest to stock;)

Anyway thanks to your support, without it we cannot have a good working Omega
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Daruka:
Lazy ass Noob? hahaha

I guess for people who just like to constantly FLASH things instead of actually USING their phone its good to play around with overclocking and other BS.

But then again,these same people are worried about KNOX and losing their warranty.

Again, I am NOT a NOOB and Adam kernel without any tweaks is BLAZING FAST.,

But keep tweaking . ,meanwhile I will enjoy USING my phone LOL

And as far as boot animations go. I haven't rebooted for a week because I have a good phone and enjoy USING it.

I guess I am just a lazy NOOB.

There could be countless reasons for hot reboots to happen.

It could be a kernel issue, rogue app, wrong setting etc. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. You will have to search and see if you can find a pattern when this happens.

According to your signature you are running a very old Omega version. Maybe it's time to upgrade and do a fresh install.

Any suggestions guys?

I was thinking about doing a stock ROM install again to see if it would help... really not sure at this stage. Another ROM?

Hi indie,

this small donation shall be a recognition for your really excellent work.

I am a bit ashamed, which to donate from here comes as well as no-one.

You sacrifice your few leisure time and in addition you have still large costs for Server and the phones costs a lot of money too,

and it will be not honored a bit :(

I cann´t understand this.

So my request to all users, a small donation reaches already to "indie" and it makes the life a little more easily for the best Rom creator.

Many, many thanks to all

Edit: my carrier is Vodafone Netherlands which supports LTE but i have not the option to choose it, maybe the fault of the contract i have with Vodafone at the moment.

Not even a screen in recovery?

If even flashing stock ME2 using Odin doesn't solves your no screen problem I'm afraid your issue is more than just a bad kernel flash.

AFAIK flashing stock kernel using Odin also restores stock kernel.
