[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bezerker:
Hello all,

I'm running the latest TWRP for this device (that fixes most of the restore/backup issues). I had wicked v2 installed and running successfully for awhile. now I'm having a strange issue.

I made a nandroid backup of my stock as well as of my wicked install and played with some other roms. (aosp ones). Went back to wicked as they are all "not there yet" and the initial restore works.

Unfortunately if I shut down or rebootI basically find myself unable to boot. It hangs on "Samsung Galaxy S4". screen and doesn't finish.

If I reboot into recovery from here and try to say, clear the dalvik or something it asks me for a password like it's encrypted, and wiping dalvik for example fails.

My nandroid did not have an encrypted FS. On top of that, I tried reflashing wicked completely from scratch and I have the same issue.

Essentially I cannot reboot my phone now once flashed. :(

I can get into recovery no issue but I'm stuck in a cycle here.

Thanks for any help. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aLdaRiS:
it wasn't just latest update, people were taking about this issue for weeks now... not sure what the fix will be I think Odin back to stock... supposedly is a TWRP problem and it doesn't happen in CWM but I heard CWM has its own share of problems...

Sent from my SGH-M919
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bezerker:
Interesting.

I was about to try odin'ing back to stock and reflashing twrp.

The only thing I wonder if may be related is when you restore a backup with TWRP it gives options of all sorts of partitions besides system/data/cache etc... preload etc. It's possible it doesn't like mucking with those. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bezerker:
Interesting to note: If I install a CM nightly, it will allow me to reboot. Wickedv2 or my backup of wickedv2 no go.

Testing further.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] saldebot:
Maybe when you flashed CM it messed with a partition or something. I would suggest to ODIN back to stock and then re-root and try again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bezerker:
Righto. Sounds like a valid idea.

Unfortunately, the download links in konane's thread are timing out for me mid download. Tragic. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bezerker:
Managed to snag it from another location. Flashed back to stock firmware/recovery via odin.

Letting it boot to see what it does.

EDIT:

That did it.

Restored my backup and most everything is working correctly (restoring my titanium backup of all apps now.)

Few things were messed up (swiftkey was missing a language pack etc?)

But looks like AOSP/AOKP roms do something to the partition table as you said that requires flashing back the original.

Good to know and thanks for the help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] makomek:
Don't wipe system in twrp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bezerker:
Does this cause issues? Didn't know.

I found that only CM nightlies would reboot fine. restoring via odin stock official then going back and putting on wicked again seemed to work to fix it and I can now reboot in a touchwhiz based rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: stuck

If you want a 95% sure way of fixing it so it boots completly,

then try this, it usually always works.

Get the phone into recovery mode twrp/cwm does not matter.

Then simply do a "factory reset" and I am fairly certain that it

will boot completly, I have seen this issue so many times

already not just here in the S4 thread but also in the S3.

The factory reset will not delete any of your music, videos and pictures.

Good luck!

Hey guys,

I have found a weird thing with my gps, I'm on Revolution HD 9.1 with stock kernel, when I use my gps (navigation) from map,it never works.

What I do is: turn on everything for location and stuff (all 4 options ticked) > go into map and type in the address I want to go > and then choose to go there from my current location > and then a route comes up > so I press navigation > and then it gets stuck looking for my current location.

But the thing is that when I use map, they already found my current location and provide me with a route to get to the destination.

So what do you guys think is the problem here and anyone else experiencing the same issue as I'm ???

Cheers

Yes, me. Yesterday was PDA-XMAS for me :lol:

Bought this Battery ( just in one word: WONDERFUL ) and my external keyboard.

The only thing what i have to do now is to create a small leather pocket for the keyboard and the extra battery to fit on the throwsers :shock:

This battery can also be recharged seperately in the cradle without the XDA II.

Normally after watching movies ( 320 x 240 ) with full speaker sound the XDA Battery went down after one movie ( around 1 and a half hour ) with that battery you can watch almost the whole night :D

Because of that i was using the headphones earlier to save battery power - this is now obsolete.

However, this is maybe a stupid question, but does anybody know if there does exists some kind of portable solar energy recharger ? It would be good if the empty battery could be recharged during the usage of the 2nd battery without any 110/220V recharging modul. ( Even if it takes some time longer )

Cheers,

This isn't that oversized, bulging battery that comes with a special backplate is it? I can't tell from the picture... The picture seems to imply it's the same dimensions as the standard XDA battery. Is it? Ie, will it simply pop in as a replacement, without requiring a special/new battery backplate?

I have one simple question about this battery. Does it fit in the standard himalaya battery place under the backplate or does it add to the volume of the device? I don't want to have a enormous thing in my pocket.

This website sells it cheaper and said something about comes with back cover.

More news on that battery: It's probaby the same as the topic, which means it comes with a bulge on the back cover. Too good to be true as a slim 2600mAh.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingsGambit:
Hi All, I received my GT-I9505 two days ago and have been taking my time trying to set it up ahead of relegating my old S2 to the sidelines. I'm having considerable trouble however with my work Exchange account, and with the Network Unlock Guide from this site. I was hoping to presume for some advice as I'm getting frustrated with my inability to get it working.

- Regarding Exchange. Work uses an SSL certificate that usually prompts most devices that there's something wrong with it, but "accepting all certificates" in the past sorted that. I've no such option on the S4 however, instead I just hit "Continue" when it prompts the error. I've entered the server and domain/login details correctly. It finds the server and the account is in the Email client and under "Settings" -> "Accounts". I worked out how to turn "Master Sync" on but still nothing happens. I'm not getting any popups as I might expect ("Activate device administrator?"). The "Folder Sync Settings" under the account is also empty. If I manually hit Sync it looks like it's synching for a fraction of a second but nothing happens. Trying to display "Show all folders" in the client results in a "Loading" icon with spinny circle indefinitely.

- Regarding unlocking. The guide on this site, and numerous others, explains how to go into Service Mode, enter UMTS Debug Menu and set SHA256 Off before Restoring NV something. I've followed the guide(s) a few times with no luck. Only thing I can think of is that I'm not entering service mode correctly. Screenshots suggest that on the info screen it should display "Service: Available", but even though I open Menu -> Key Input and enter "1", it remains "Service: Limited". When hitting the SH256 off, it says "Unchanged" and [0]. I've tried with an Invalid/locked SIM card and no SIM card, but not with a valid one.

With my sincerest thanks in advance for any help. I've spent ages on it now and I'm getting annoyed with the brand new phone that isn't playing ball.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingsGambit:
I'm wondering now if the exchange synch issue is server-side. I'm almost positive that there should be a security "Activation?" pop-up which needs to be accepted, only I'm not getting it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingsGambit:
Two other pieces of possibly relevant information. I'm a domain administrator at work and our Exchange server has a self signed SSL certificate. I'm still googling without luck after 2 days. Any tips or advice would be most welcome.

I have also tried the Service Mode unlock method using a valid, working SIM card, also with no luck.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingsGambit:
Still hoping for some advice on this, if any is to be had. Another bit of information which may or may not be useful, the mail server is running Exchange 2010.

Hey,

I have Note 2 (GT-N7100) its primary market is Europe. i was using it and it suddenly stucks and after sometime it restarted with this error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. connect to kies select recovery mode and try again" I have just bought it and it happened . i Have tried to resolve it through odin mode because recovery mode is not opening. it is only going in download mode ... I downloaded it and used odin to put it on my phone. It says successful but after restart same error remains. kies isn't detecting my device. I'm an absolute noob when it comes to this stuff. In odin it says [Successful] but problem does not go. Help me resolving this problem.

Arent the one x and one x+ better?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Well I've used the one x alot personally I think other than the bigger screen and the processor the amaze is pretty the same camera qualities are better in amaze in my opinion also the wifi and one x+ is very same to one x so yeah I think amaze is still good if you over clock the amaze the benchmark speeds equal the speeds of one x processor only problem is the battery and updates

It was me cross posting in the rom thread as well. My issue is that I don't get the option to choose Google Maps from the Open With window when I search for a place and choose Directions.

Anyway I was asking for help in a Slovenian forum as well and found out that the issue is not Rom related, neither is it location related, ie. me being from Slovenia, where Google Navigation isn't available (but getting directions is). There is a person on H1 using the Android Revolution Rom reporting that he also only gets to choose browsers.

Also, one person with stock Nexus 4 is reporting that he does get the Google Maps option when selecting directions, while at least one person with a custom rom on Nexus 4 is reporting that he also only gets to choose from browsers.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaTiCeK-:
Turns out the fix is quite trivial.

Settings - Accounts - Select the google account - select search - add checkmark at search at google.com instead of the local one! :laugh:

Presto now it offers me to select Google Maps.

I have got a similarproblem with cycle reboot using this kernel.The story was:

1. Full wipe

2. Install radio modules from .85

3. Install this kernel

4. Clean install gin2jellybean 2.4.0 + install WIFI modules from lupus on top.

5. Boot, set up and tweak the system: settings, programs, USB Helper, autostarts, etc..Enabled some tweaks in Lupus menu: frandom + USB OTG

(I used the system for several days)

6. Make CWM nandroid backup

7. Restored from this and other backups (e.g. old repack7 and repack8 backups) several times successfully.

So far so good, everything works.

8. Again full wipe using the CWM, like usually, before installing another rom.

9. FULL install of the STOCK GB 4.0.2.A.84 version (this ROM version finally appeared available yesterday!!! see here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41976134&postcount=541)

10. Used this stock rom for several hours, everything fine. Tired of it, found nothing interesting. Decided to go back to my previous state.

11. So, on top of this stock (in order to keep the newest version of radio .86 from this new stock) - installed this Lupus kernel back. Rebooted.

12. Got into CWM and made again full wipe (including system)

13. Restored my last backup, no errors.

14. Restarted - and, voila! got cycle reboot!!! No even ROM logo appears.

15. OK, get back into CWM and tred to restore other g2jb backup, older one - and again cycle reboot after restart.

16. OK, get back to WRP and restore the TWRP backup - no luck, still cycle reboot ater restart.

17. OK, tried from CWM the very oldest backup of Repack8, from some week ago. Still cycle reboot ater restart.

So it seems the issue is not in the rom backups, but in kernel.

To check this - flashed aire's uv7.1.4 kernel and restored the most recent g2jb backup. And the system booted OK without any issues!

So now it runs perfectly with radio .86 + aire's kernel + most recent backup of g2jb

Any ideas?
