Stuck on Samsung boot logo & my fix

Like many here who have reported that they are stuck on the boot samsung logo I too had that problem. I tried nearly all the suggested fixes including re-download of the rom, Wiping cache and data, formatting, full wipe, factory reset, and other recommendations too. I did not need to install the pit though.

I did finally get it to install, I noticed depending upon what Rom download link or mirror you chose there are two different ROM's that you can download one named GT-I9500_WanamLite.XXUFNB3.V4.0.No-wipe.zip and another one named, wanamlite-v40-nb3.zip, No matter what I did or how i did it I could not get my phone to boot using the first download. Stuck on boot every time.

The second Rom named listed above worked just fine for me. Is there a problem with the first one I don't know, the other option "wanamlite-v40-nb3.zip" will load and boot. I also made sure philz touch was the latest version also. I'm using version 6.19.1.I9500

Maybe this will help out some of you that are also having install problems.

I am having a problem with screen rotation. It will not rotate. Rotation control App's from google play will not rotate enable screen rotation either. Perhaps it is because I uninstalled Touchwiz and prefer Nova launcher? Anyone else having this problem?

Update based on FNC1

After numerous tries of trying to install the updated ROM with TWRP. It was unsuccessful. It shows and says it's installing th system but the progress bar doesn't even show up blue giving you conformation that the installation was successful. It even goes as far as flashing the kernel and upon rebooting the device it boots up and then screen goes black. doesn't show Samsung logo or anything. Hope this feedback is useful and helpful. Reverted back to V4.0 via nandroid backup until their is a fix or solution. Thanks for your hard work its greatly appreciated wanam

He is on 4.2.2 Jb and wants to switch over to 4.4. I flashed CWm 6.0.4.6 and then tried flashing this rom. But it gives an error and does not flash.

Do i need to flash the 4.3 rom first and then install 4.4 or is there something i am missing.

Have u guys tried to change META-INF folder from wanamlite v4.0 and re-zip it again? and then flash it via cwm.

I made for my self odexed rom and using wanamlite v4.0 META-INF folder as cwm flasher script, and all good.

If wanam did not change folder stucture, it should good to try.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] MaddKorben:
Couldn't send you private message so replying here.

Hi! No problem for late reply :).

Thank you for devoting your time for untested ROM. I really appreciate your work and ready to help you in debugging and everything you need else. I'm sure there are a lot of people who wish to use your ROM subsequently. As for me I hope you won't stop develop such a great ROM even when SGS5 will launch.

But unfortunately that patch didn't help - symptoms are the same: black screen after Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 logo and vibro feedback for power button press. I'm not sure but is version of TWRP matters? I'm using 2.6.3.1 and the last stable is 2.7.0.0. Should I switch and try with it?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] Lil Red05:
Same problem here too. Used TWRP 2.7.0.0. to flash patch fix right after flashing V4.1 NC1 and got the same symptoms as before: black screen after Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 logo and vibration feedback for power button & vol up press.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] wanam:
So unfortunately there is nothing much I can do, I don't have time to troubleshoot.

By the way I'm still supporting I9505 and I have no plans to support SGS5, my next device will be HTC M8.

Arrow is a good developer unfortunately he's not ported a bug free KK version. The V12 still has some bugs. But his JB Rom was very good and one of the only one which I used for long time and went straight 9 days w/o restarting or phone rebooting. Many roms get stuck or reboot themselves within a few days of working. I had that ROM overclocked and UV as well.

Anyway once he does a bug free version i dont think I'll look anywhere for other roms.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] MaddKorben:
Could you be so kind to write here about stability of that ROM? I'll wait for several days before flashing it. And by the way why you didn't flash perseus kernel only? As I see it's stock ROM. I think I can try use perseus with Wanamlite 4.0.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Android Development] sak500:
So far pretty stable. I had flashed perseus on wanam but wake lock of l2_hsic or something was not letting my device go into deep sleep. I tried many different settings in synapse but still same wake lock and also tried other roms but same wake lock. In this ROM it's not there any it's going into deep sleep.

my question is, i just put cwm from odin and rooted for the first time... was all stock upto now...

don't i need to format system at least??

or just go on and flash without wiping or anythin??

EDIT: tough everything working without full wipe, i guess i could not get rid of most of the bloatware... so i think will flash again with full wipe...

one more question... my baseband is still MDE (I9500XXUAMDE) is there any way to update it also??
