Step 4 : Flashing ROM

Step 4 : Flashing ROM

Assuming you have already downloaded your required file, let’s proceed.

ROM Flashing

1.) Copy Paste update on Phone

Copy update- copy update-xxx-xxx-xxx.zip coresponding to your device to sdcard

Copy GAPPS. Download Link [Here]

2.) Flash CM kernel

3.) Boot into Recovery

While FXP logo is displayed (and lights are lit) press several times volume up to enter CWM (recovery)

4.) Flash ROM

To update main rom select

Install zip from sdcard

Choose zip from sdcard

Select your update (copied at step 2)

To flash gapps redo steps a-c and select gapps package

Use gapps version designed for your android version !!! Link ---> Here, Gapps

5.Wipe device

Whip Cache

Whip Dalvik Cache (Advanced Option)

Cache Partition

6.) Partition format

7.) Reboot and Enjoy :victory:

Troubleshooting

If you experience a bootloop (phone constantly reboots and reboots on the boot screen) or a soft brick (powering on the phone shows an orange triangle with a phone and computer), don’t be afraid. XDA to the rescue!

For a bootloop:

Take out the battery.

Wait for 3 min.

Put the battery in. Do NOT power on the phone.

Keep pressing Volume Up + Home simultaneously and press the power button to turn on the device.

Once the phone shows the model number screen, leave the buttons.

Your phone will boot into recovery.

Select “Wipe data/ Factory reset”. (Volume Up for going up and Volume down to go down)

After the reset is done, select “Reboot system now”.

The phone will reboot and you should be all fine.

For a soft brick:

You probably flashed some faulty firmware or firmware not meant for your device.

The File You Downloaded Must Be Incomplete.

Download the correct firmware and flash again.

woa! really great thread! :)

thnx for this step by step tutorial.. this really will help me and other begginers here in xperia forum.. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
there's some mistake in your guide:

first, you can't root last xperia s rom version with Bin4ry root tool

it would be better to link the main thread which then will lead people to the right place

then, i think that instead of using recoverX to install CWM, it would be better to flash advanced stock kernel (and then TWRP if you like)

and you don't need to flash FXP kernel before flashing rom

last but not least... i think that this thread would be better sitting in general section (instead of the android development one)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Deleted member 5133333:
Thank You! I'd do the same..

And about the Last .55 Version I'd update the thread.

Next for the Advanced kernal.. Its true! but for beginners understanding CWM forms a very good base.

There were some issues with TWRP while providing null value in moving from CM10 to OPEN SEMC

So prefered CWM

[HTC Sensation] clau22bv:
Hi everyone,il get straight to the point.

I believe my battery is bad since I have some drain issues. I just got the phone a week ago (already used). The phone looks and works flawlessly,but the battery is so bad. I don't know if this is normal, before I had an Xperia Arc which displayed WAY better battery life. In standby (screen off) it drains like 1%~4 hours (which is ok). Now if I turn wifi on and surf the web for like 10-20 minutes about 10% is gone. With the brightness set to minimum,and best wi-fi perfomance turned off. Also it drains really strange,like from 69% it goes directly to 66% and so on. While watching videos (for example a 720p 20 min video) it drains ~10%,also with minimum brightness.

Tehnical details

-S-off,unlocked bootloader,rooted

-Running ARHD 7.2 with faux kernel - 1Ghz max cpu,-25 undervolt and no gpu oc.

-3.33.401 build

No sync,no 3g,gps,no facebook installed etc. Only mx player and music+videos on sd card.

The main drainer shows up as the screen.

So,is my battery bad,is this battery life normal for the sensation,or is it a rom/kernel/baseband problem?

Thanks in advance,cheers :)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Battery age is important here,because the older it is,the worst it gets.

A new one may well sort out your problem.

:)
[HTC Sensation] clau22bv:
Thank you for the reply,but that was not the intended answer I needed to get,let me refrase. So in your personal opinion,reading the data I posted,is this generally normal for this specific phone? (regardless of the battery age or whatsoever)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

There is no such thing as "Normal" when it comes to battery on the Sensation.

But it is generally accepted ,that when the battery gets old (1 year + ) it starts to deteriorate and behave in strange ways.

There is nothing wrong with your setup of the phone.

I merely suggest that a new battery will improve the general life of your phone.

Of course ,this greatly depends on how you use your phone, as well.

:)
[HTC Sensation] herecomesmaggi:
My older phone showed same symptoms. Battery went weak due to my habit of complete drain. I was bad at charging :D.

Ans. Is yes if battery is old like 1 or more year, it could posses same symptoms. But i will really advice you to try other ROMs like slimbean / any with less battery hunger. Hope it will help.

[Galaxy S 4 General] victorator:
WARNING

You are fully responsible for the potential damage to your phone. Use this method with caution!

THIS IS ONLY FOR I9505 AND AOSP ROMS

That's right, You can flash any rom for the US variants of S4.

What you need to do is very simple.

============================

Make sure there are no assert prop lines in the file META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script

If you see a line that looks like this just delete it.

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "jfltetmo" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "jfltetmo");

After you flash the rom, flash this package. It includes the required libs for I9505.

Profit!

============================
[Galaxy S 4 General] climo:
This assert prop line is inside the meta folder of the ROM we would like to flash correct? Second we flash both Rom and lib package then boot the phone? I noticed some of the AT&T ROMs require a special recovery in order to flash the ROM but we don't have such recovery for i9505. With that said maybe TMobile ROMs may be better since they only require basic recovery. If this works it opens up a lot of choices for us i9505 owners :good: are TW ROMs also included in this method or just AOSP
[Galaxy S 4 General] 3bs11:
What happens if we flash directly without changing anything? Like updating directly from CM updater.
[Galaxy S 4 General] victorator:
Your radio and/or wifi might act up
[Galaxy S 4 General] Lulabby:
Hi, I want to know what are the benefits and differences between the us variant roms and original i9505? Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 General] Achi92131:
Installation will not work. You need to remove (assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "jfltetmo" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "jfltetmo"); in updater-script.
[Galaxy S 4 General] moriansafas:
Might?

Cause I read some people have no problems at all?

Concerning the prop lines: how many of them are there?

Thank you for your patience and understanding. I am really thankful that you have decided to tune up our s4! Hope you ll get yours soon!

What's the point or gain to flash an European S4 with US ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 General] harise100:
At the moment I think there is no point, because the ROM developers can merge that code into their own Roms.

In the future this trick would allow us to flash the latest Google factory image, (almost) unmodified.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Langduscher:
Ok so this is a first for me and I'm not quite sure here.

I unzipped a TMobile rom using WinRAR I found the lines and deleted them from the updater script. Now file starts with a very small square - is that correct? Or should I delete that little square (theres tons more of them between the code)?

Then zip it using WinRAR and flash it onto my international i9505?

[Galaxy S 4 General] patrickbartalesi22:
victorator would i be able to get roms from this phone working on the tmobile if i added this line to the updater script

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "jfltetmo" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "jfltetmo");

and then copied the libril.so and the libril-qc-qmi-1.so from another tmobile rom.
[Galaxy S 4 General] bungadudu:
Any update on this from the ones who've installed it?

Would be great if this would allow acces to the us restricted playstore or/and use of google wallet!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Langduscher:
So, flash sequence would be

1. flash rom (wth deleted lines)

2. flash libs

3. flash gapps

Correct?

Where to check, in setting app? Or Installed apps?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpookyTunes:
Settings > About phone > Baseband version

Does the phone ask you to insert SIM, or are you unable to connect to your cell provider?

If you are asked to insert SIM, you may have a bad SIM slot (broken pin contacts), or the SIM is placed incorrectly in the slot.

If you just have no service, check your phone number is displayed correctly in "About phone" and try to scan for available networks in:

Settings > Wireless & networks (more) > Mobile networks > Network operators

then use "Choose automatically"

similar problem

i got this problem after the 4.3 update and i have flashed every baseband for this phone but none of them work now im back to useing a old ass zte
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoobNexus:
Had the exact same problem. Had no service at all (the network icon was just a triangle), no baseband, no IMEI. This is what I tried so far. My phone was stock 4.3 before my experiments :

1. Tried toggling *#*#4636#*#*, tried all the options there - no luck. Radio was "off", and no matter how many times I tried to click on Turn On Radio, it wouldnt start

2. Tried switching Sim cards, from same operator and from a different operator, no luck

3. Did a factory reset using the settings menu - no change

4. Finally, rooted the phone using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010312 (First time ever, complete noob here). Everything went smoothly. Installed all the standard stuff from the 4.3 image.

Now, I could see the radio intermittently turn on and off - what a relief ! Atleast I knew there exists a chance this is not a hardware issue. I was getting service for 10 seconds, then it was going off for 10 seconds. This was happening continuously.

5. Tried *#*#4636#*#* and toggling all options again, (even GSM only, WDCMA only, preferred etc). I am in India and using Idea Cellular.

6. Searched like crazy on the xda forum for possible solutions - decided I'll try out a different radio version (I had 0.84 on mine) from here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2087227 - If you're a complete noob like me and dont know what the hell I'm talking about, trust me, flashing a radio is not that difficult. Just refer to my earlier thread link

7. Tried flashing each and every radio from 0.24 - 0.84. Mixed results. Except for 0.83 and 0.84 all other radios atleast maintain signal throughout. However it never turns "blue" - I cannot access the internet from my phone - I have a data plan, the apn information is correct and every other setting is proper (airplane mode off, data on etc). The other odd thing is I can call and receive calls, however there is absolutely no audio !

By elimination - I think there are only two options here - either this has something to do with the 4.3 update altogether, or this is a hardware glitch on the nexus 4 which is activated by some unique sequence of steps. Please note I did NOTHING "illegal" on the phone before this problem - no rooting no custom software, not even any apps which mainstream users would call "shady" - just the usual FB, Mail apps, my corporate mail account.

Any ideas here - I am going to go ahead and try flashing my phone back to stock 4.2.2 again, and hope that works !! Please help ! And apologies for the tremendously long post first up :)
