recovery from post 4492?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sronweb:
This is for odin. You can use on your phone.

It's not coming from Philz but some volunteer have done some updates taking recent commits (I guess from cmw, not sure) so they should be fine.

I recommend to perform a nandroid backup before just in case of any issue.

5.05.6 ---> 5.06.0

Download from OP

Flashing a modem with this new version

Method 1

The attached zip should work perfectly on this recovery

I added needed entries in recovery.fstab to flash both modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin files

For the zip, just put modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin files under the bin folder in zip

Method 2: backup and restore current modem files in nandroid .img format

In last v5.06.0 you can now backup both partitions, and restore them in custom backup

modem.img will be the modem.bin image

radio.img will be the NON-HLOS.bin backup

Method 3

You can also flash the bin files directly in raw mode using dd/cat in recovery

- put modem.bin in clockworkmod/backup/.modem_bin folder. You can put as many files as you want and name them what you want until extension is .bin and you do not abuse with special chars, include spaces. Best is using 0...9_-aA...zZ

- put the NON-HLOS.bin files (same rule apply to rename them) in clockworkmod/backup/.radio_bin

- in custom restore, flash first modem.bin from /modem option and then NON-HLOS.bin from /radio option

WARNING: this is untested by me, test and report at your own risk

Jup first tried your zip and after that simply restoring the backup and placing modem and NON-HLOS in the backup folder.

Unfortunately the result for all is a freezing device....

So far the only working method for me is to dd the files when booted via adb shell or emulator.

Strange enough if you try the same approach with a script the device locks as well.

5.06.0 restore and backup fully working without any problems. backup is saved to where it is expected to be, speed seems good, great work!

try backing up the modem and immediately restoring it again.

Result is complete freeze of cwm

edit: this has nothing to do with Philz recovery though !

Well, maybe locked like htc... In recovery i use cat through shell, so just same as dd in shell

For flashing stock/custom recovery.tar .md5 on s4. The most easy way was using sgs4 flasher. Copied the latest phil touch 5.06.0.tar.md5 to internal sd card. Run sgs4 flasher, touched on flash and selected the recovery.tar.md5. Few seconds and you are done. I used it for changing stock recovery/custom recovery vice versa. Cheer! Try it yourself and you will be enjoy.

When I wanted to flash stock csc and modem by pc odin, I used stock recovery. Normally my phone was on phil touch recovery for nandroid backup/restore task and flashing custom kernel like adam kernel.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] puremind:
I tried flashing via Odin and also have a fail (nothing changes). I am coming from a German T-Mobile (DTM CSC) and wanted to debrand it to DBT (Germany unbranded). All other steps are successful (PDA, CSC) but the modem is the last thing prevening me from receiving official updates, as not all 3 items coincide.

It seems Samsung has found a way of preventing full unbranding of devices, at least for now?

Since all branded devices are 10% cheaper, I can understand why Samsung does not want them to be fully unbranded...

I have also found that branded devices are very susceptible to undervolting / overclocking, which could indicate that they have worse binning, which could explain why Samsung does not want those devices to receive different firmware.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr.AFK:
Same problem here, wasn't able to boot into Philz recovery.

Workaround :

Odin flash without autoreboot! After flash, pressed power until reboot and pressed also the volume up and home together. Philz recovery established!

Flashed update superSu v1.30.zip to get root. Restart.

Browse with rootexplorer to /system /etc/ if there is an file "install-recovery.sh" remove this file or delete it. This caused that the stock 3e recovery every boot overwrite your cwm!

Flashed Philz recovery with Odin again, to establish it residential.

Good luck and give feedback.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
It depends where you have clockwork set to save your backups. Either way, it will be in the clockwork folder. So if it's in internal go to back up and restore, choose "restore" and it will direct you on its own to the proper files in the clokwork folder... If the backup is in your external card, do the same but instead choose "restore from external card"

Any news on getting custom recovery to work without it setting device to custom?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] SnoopyDog:
The fact that you flash "something" to your device sets it to custom, not this specific piece of software. If you are on Stock ROM, you can use TriangleAway from chainfire. If you use a custom ROM, then you can't use it.

Some days ago i had a soft brick and flashed the official Samsung ROM and after that my phone had the status "official" again.

So Philz can not do anything on that.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Phil3759:
Well, to be able to mount bigger sdcards (64Gb exfat), for now, we have to rely on loading drivers from /system/lib, so your ROM drivers.

When we moved them to ramdisk, some exfat cards do not work. [MENTION=3084245]Chenglu[/MENTION] released many builds that clearly show it, and I had to follow his way to fix the issue for some users

There are many explanations. One of them is that it is just older drivers version being the issue and not other more complex explanations.

Sadly, without a device, it would take me a lot of test releases to debug it and I would need exfat modules from many ROMs to release these test builds.

So, in your case, it is probably the fact you used wanam ROM, as cwm will use the exfat modules coming with the ROM

The why, is another story...
