Hey Folks.. Guess What!?!

We have exFAT Support!! (Pay attention to the size of the card)

Edited and added contents pic.

:edited twice: This Build hasn't been made public yet since [MENTION=2614663]shabbypenguin[/MENTION] hasn't posted it yet. But exFAT is there.. There are a few other issues that he is working out..

Looky, looky!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nemesis93:
As soon as they are available of course. But I didnt know we had an official recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] texasredrider:
Got recovery installed and works great. Cant mount external sd. I guess I will have to re-format to FAT32 before it will work, correct? Mine is a 64GB Sandisk Best Buy special. It comes exFAT I thought. A guy posted above that it would work with this format, but mine doesn't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoHoGalore:
Wish [MENTION=2614663]shabbypenguin[/MENTION] would release the Kraken! Hold off on formatting.. I'm telling you, he has it figured out.

The test build I have isn't public, yet.. (Since I'm the guy you're referring to)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xchampx13:
Anybody successfully gotten OUDHS and then rooted on Mac yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] guitardoc64:
I can't wait to try it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] texasredrider:
Lol okay ill hold off on the format. I can hardly wait!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoHoGalore:
Then Check the OP.. :p :silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mjs2011:
Shabby. Nice effing recovery!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoHoGalore:
So I was a little premature..

even though I was able to use an exFAT formatted card to backup, I was unable to use that backup for restore.

That is on me.

Shabby knows about it and is working on it.. Please test and try but that was what I had found.

This is with 1.0.3.3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
ill be looking it over again tomorrow. for now im gunna go ahead and go spend a few mins with my wife before we sleep.

someone with exfat mind testing this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] reverepats:
jeeez, nevermind...sorry!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
?????:eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] reverepats:
no no, i had a question, but i just was thinking clearly lol. so i deleted it. Recovery working great lol. Thanks bud!!

EDIT....Actually, does CWM always backup Recovery as default? never included recovery in any of my backups, but then again I dont use CWM that often
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
with exfat support?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] reverepats:
no it wasnt related. sorry. Unless there something u want me to check out? dont know much about EXfat and such
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ChadH42:
I am testing exfat now...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] kirschdog1:
Awesome Recovery!

Thanks guys this is awesome!! I have a kernel I want to flash but I am not sure if I can, If I PM you the link do you think you could check it out for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
if it wasnt made for this phone i wouldnt suggest it. teh us carriers have different stuff than international and even other carriers have diff ramdisks for now, there will be a time when we can share a kernel but its not yet
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ChadH42:
exfat support is not working in 1.0.3.3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
which one? the one i posted above? or the one from the OP?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ChadH42:
the one above.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
k thanks for testing :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shizkoff777:
What exactly is the benefits of exfat.First Samsung device I have own
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] troyboytn:
My understanding is that it is for large file support. Please correct me if I am wrong. I'm also new to Samsung. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shizkoff777:
Well I just boight a 64 gb sandisk ultra and wondering
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ChadH42:
exfat is a file system format that Microsoft created to deal with files larger than 4GB. FAT32 only accepts files sizes under 4GB.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shizkoff777:
Sorry to ask bit how do I get my new card to exfat
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ChadH42:
If you format it on a pc using windows v7 or 8 it will offer exfat format option.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Stock OS will still boot after flashing this correct?

For somebody used to the "standard" CWM, which in the OP would be suggested?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoHoGalore:
Yes, it'll boot. You're replacing just the recovery.

And if you're stock recovery now, you'll need pc odin and the tar.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Yeah I have all that, did the same thing on my E4GT and other phones. I'd just like a similar recovery that I was using with CM10.1 on my E4GT.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoHoGalore:
Unlike the e4gt, kernel and recovery isnt packed like that was. (A one for both flash)

Sent from my SPH-L720 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Yeah I've learned that with this device. Kinda slick if you ask me. So I can flash between recoveries without messing with the OS??

Also, does the USB jig trick work to reset the counter?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoHoGalore:
Yes and I haven't seen any posts concerning the jig. I don't have one. Then again, I haven't seen the counter that we were used to like the touch. Just Custom or not..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
I have one. I'll make a thread. Thx for your help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] EFEXR:
I want to root S4.

Just to be clear, if I'm on stock rom do I Odin first to get CWM and then power off the go into recovery and flash SuperSu. Then I will be rooted?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
There is a thread on rooting... Find that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] EFEXR:
Then I misunderstood, the OP stated "Congrats you now have CWM now if you wish to root youll need to follow these instructions" so thats why I assumed that. So rooting is a whole different thread not this method stated in the OP?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Recovery does not touch the OS therefore does not include SU.

There is a thread on rooting the stock OS. Find that, it literally takes 2 minutes to root the phone and you don't need a custom recovery to do so.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ACoolGuy:
I know what you are saying and to answer you, yes. I just did this last night. Odin CWM and then boot into recovery and flash the SuperSU.zip. Viola, Rooted!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] EFEXR:
So root first using this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2257101

Then come back here, follow the first directions to install CWM?

Sorry for the questions, i just want to get it right the first time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Yup
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
if you are going to install recovery you can just skip the extra reboots and just install recovery and root via the instructions provided.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 12MaNy:
Yes, you can do it that way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Deslo33:
Thanks for your work on our device. I would like to note in case anyone has this problem; The drivers while in download mode would not install which prevents odin from recognizing your phone, so I used the drivers from qbking77's Root video for our device http://qbking77.com/development/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-s4-all-qualcomm-models/ Here. After installing these everything went smoothly.

I would appreciate it if the OP could add this to their instructions. People who are doing this for the first time get nervous when things don't go perfect.

Once again. Thank you

That was pretty much the big wtf moment when I first got the E4GT.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cheddaface:
trying to root, and ive droped the su.zip on my phone but when i go into your recovery it dosent find the file to flash any help??

on the root of my sd the only files i see are ,,,, o/,,,, clockworkmod/,,,,,,,,,,legacy/.....obb/ but i dont see any su to flash and im sure i droped it on the root of the phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shizkoff777:
I had this happen once.Look around for the install on external sd card
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cheddaface:
wont even let me open the external says cant mount it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shizkoff777:
Are u using the cwm recovery or the twrp.how is your card formatted
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cheddaface:
using OUDhs touch and i have never formated the internal sd as i dont have an sd card in this phone

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 AM ----------

Should i try and use a diff recovery or something??? this one may be broke and ive treid qbkings way but dosent work either just stops
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
its not broken.

it cant mount the path as there isnt one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cheddaface:
UPDATE: I use and flashed from external sd now i believe i am rooted as i have super user in my apps.

Rooted and thankyou,, looking forward to some of your roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
plug it in to your computer, you should get teh internal sdcard pop up. copy the zip to it reboot into recovery and flash it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mjs2011:
Hey Shabby. Quick question and sorry if this was answered earlier and I missed it. But what directory are the back ups saved? I want to delete the back up I made last night but I can't seem to find it using ES File Explorer. I do see about 3.5gb allocated on my internal sd card for it though. Using the Disk Usage app, it shows up as System Data.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoHoGalore:
Check /data/media

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mjs2011:
Bam there it is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoHoGalore:
Either recovery that you use (cwm/twrp) you should see the folders (clockworkmod/twrp) respectively.. :beer:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] primo523:
Same thing happened to me. Navigate to the ,,,,o/. Press power then go to downloads or where ever you put it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
is it not showing up on internal sdcard?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MYckel6:
I have the same problem I'm missing about 7gb
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoHoGalore:
From Es Explorer, the clockworkmod folder is empty. Same with Solid Explorer. Root explorer, as you know, defaults to root.

Anyway, you have to manually route to /data/media.

(And no, you won't get to it without an explorer.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
awesome, the sdcard/0/ crap is irritating enough and apparently samsung is gunna do their own thing too :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mjs2011:
I ended up finding it in data/media. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
which has previously been linked to /sdcard/ when it boots.

can someone please run this command?

adb shell ls -l /mnt
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoHoGalore:

What is the Galaxy S4 IRC channel? Example of what I mean #Samsung-Galaxy-s4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
freenode #sgs4

http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=sgs4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Deslo33:
Perhaps you should put the irc channel in the op. Or maybe a whole separate topic for it. Seeing as many people will probably want live help and/or ask how to set up, whether it be via andchat app or something.

Although I suppose there are already topics for it else where. Just an idea.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
the irc channel isnt mine i assumed that there was topics in place etc. the irc moho was mentioning was reference to my teams irc channel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] opz187:
Where is twrp?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xchampx13:
There is a official thread for it in Original Android Development, I believe that is why its not in this thread anymore.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] opz187:
Ah Thanks. yea I used that one but the touch sensitivity makes it pretty unusable. I'm using oudhs right now which I love, but I made a backup in twrp of stock that I wanted to get back to so I could make a backup of it in oudhs
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
craziest thing, i swear i edited the OP title to remove twrp from it, yet it seems i never did :eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xchampx13:
Just flashed, working great so far :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
tiny update, same version number. fixes the whole /data/media issue.

make sure you manually move your backups etc as it will be putting them now in the right spot. :)

small world eh? i guess agat got it working too XD

http://awesomescreenshot.com/0b218oic5f
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cheddaface:
Where are my backup going now?? and do we install this the same way as before with the tar file?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Trying to track down an issue...

Flashed OUDHS recovery and SlimBean. I made a NANDROID and did a factory reset prior to flashing SlimBean. After I was done with that, I did a factory wipe again and restored my NANDROID. Once back up in Android I deleted the clockworkmod folder. I still have ~4GB less free space than I did before. What am I missing??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
before they were going to /data/media, now it goes to /data/media/0 which is where /sdcard/ links to when it boots up so everyone can use it when the device is booted.

as i said you need to manage the backups in /data/media
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] agentfazexx:
That did it. Thanks bro! That's the largest NANDROID backup I've ever seen!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] J_Uneek:
This recovery doesn't backup to external SD?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
it doesnt handle exfat

im working on adding it but its closed source and its not an easy feat, since i dont have the device and i dont ahve anything exfat formatted
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ChadH42:
Shabby - if you have anything that you want me to test regarding exfat support, let me know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
thanks for teh offer, its more of it takes a min to compile and then upload and then post and wait. i am working towards it and i found a 2gb microsdcard so once it gets here on friday ill be testing the stuff i can gather on it all :)

k0nane got exfat to mount and work but it required him to adb in and manually mount it :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ChadH42:
FYI... TWRP 2.5.0.0 has exfat working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
yes and teh way they did it wont work with cwm without a massive rewrite :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] texasredrider:
Eh, I think I'll wait for Shabby's Exfat version...

If I had an extra phone, I would send you my S4 to work things out and have you send it back when you're done. I would. Maybe we can start up a "Buy Shabby a GS4" collection for ya! Seriously. We would all benefit from it...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
thanks for the thought,

but mine is on its way :). thanks and donations are always welcome for people who think my work is worth it :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] reverepats:
Hey shabby you weren't a RD when u first got the ET4G were you? I remember ya from the beginning, but was sure if you were a RD from the get go
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
i was approved as a RD on 8/15/11, i think after i helped rooting the e4gt but before ics got leaked is about when i got it :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] reverepats:
Ahh Ok. It was bugging the he'll outta me, so I hadda ask :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] runngwlf:
Shabby I remember you from the days of my hero.. then my epic.. I was thrilled to see you on the s4 forums!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bender beerman:
is the1.0.3.3 link broken, or should i use the 1.0.3.3-temp.tar?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] reverepats:
Works fine for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bender beerman:
ya, working now. it was down yesterday for a bit tho... thanks!!!

edit: everything downloaded and installed great, but i couldn't access recovery by vol^+Pow as per instructions, i had to hold home+vol^+Pow... but it still works!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 4 Door Skyline:
I'm having a problem after flashing with odin. Everything seems to flash all fine n dandy but when I try to get into recovery it stalls on the samsung screen saying "booting into recovery" and it hangs there. Im a little new to samsung but not to flashing or rooting, etc. (Im a long time HTC guy).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
sounds like you are holding the buttons :)

when teh blue text appears let go :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 4 Door Skyline:
Thanks for the quick reply but still nothing Shabby, every which way I try I still get stuck at the blue "Recovery Booting.....". Ive tried holding it, letting it go as soon as it vibes, letting it go as soon as the blue letters come up. NADA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shabbypenguin:
are you rooted? if so try quick boot? (quick rebooter?) in the market
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tkgadgetman:
Thanks

Working great. It did take me a while how to figure out how to get to recovery though. For those who are having trouble don't hold the buttons too long. As soon as you see the blue letters in the upper left hand corner of the screen let go of buttons. Thank-you!:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] reverepats:
See that's where some people go wrong. Definitely have to get the timing just right. But after some time, ya get he hang of it. I also use quickboot. Works just fine. Can also use GooManager if u got that on your device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tkgadgetman:
Funny, I didn't think I installed it correctly but then when I was in gooManager I realized it was there. It just took some research on why I couldn't get to it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bender beerman:
Also can run unknownforce's 4 in 1 reboot menu mod, works great!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 4 Door Skyline:
I tried qb's method and it hangs....Im on the 4/10 kernel version...IDK if that means anything. Anyways, any other ideas?

Edit: So I got root access finally through qbkings method. Downloaded quickboot and gave it root access and tried to go into recovery, no dice. I dont think the custom recovery is getting pushed to my phone for some reason.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] crawrj:
I am guessing you have the usb cable connected. Disconnect that and try again. Release as soon as the logo appears.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 4 Door Skyline:
Regardless, even with quickboot ,nada
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoHoGalore:
See if you can pc odin the stock kernel tar and get back into recovery.. or a kernel tar file.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bender beerman:
i ran acs roms, too; that shizz was EPIC! (ya, bad pun, i know...) i wish we had this this recovery back then! i love the gestures and colors, and once exfat is in the bag, this'll be the gold standard. thank you all for all the time and effort spent in development, continuously through the years and devices!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 4 Door Skyline:
Unfortunately I'm still stuck. Would the sgs flash app from the general s4 forum work ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jurey24:
Did you use motto chopper to root?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] texasredrider:
Should I just go ahead and format my sd card to FAT32 so I can do my backups or would it be better to wait for exFAT compatibility since there really isn't that many custom roms out there yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ChadH42:
I reformatted to FAT32. The only downside is that you can't have any file exceed 4GB.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pixelsblur:
hey guys, I want to confirm, I am kind of new at this, I was a pro on SGS2 but need a little help, so I followed instructions for installing this recovery through Odin, everything went well, installation successful, my question is, do I have to now manually install CWM or is recovery supposed to boot by holding power and volume key down? thanks for your effort penguin, truly appreciate it :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jurey24:
odin flashed the recovery just hold power and volume up key. volume down will boot into download mode
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pixelsblur:
EXCELLENT, THANK YOU, not sure if this is common but I just wanted to check if it worked and it did :), but when I hit restart menu I got a message stating Root Possibly Lost, I clicked yes to fix but is that possible from just booting to recovery? losing your root?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jurey24:
Download root checker from the market if it's saying you don't have root flash the supers zip in the op from recovery that'll give you root back
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pixelsblur:
thanks dude, I am pretty sure my root is still in tact, I was using LuckyPatcher to patch my PowerAMP :cool:
