Hi I'm using this:

philz_touch_5.18.2-jfltespr.tar.md5

When I select "Clean to Install a New ROM", the log displays one error:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] lord dredd:
Hi sorry for being such a noob

but can any one please guide me here

i wish to try Philz recovery , currently i am on TWRP latest version ,

plesae let me know how to go about it

thanks

Edit

Never mind, downloaded the latest lte variant and flashed in recovery.

All is well, made a fresh backup too.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Phil3759:
you can ignore it

However, it shouldn't happen if you upgrade to latest versions

I tested my self recently
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeprius:
I love this recovery.....very reliable. ...A few times it will not flash correctly so I have to install the newer version and it works fine....had a lot of problems restoring TW ROM s with TWRP but not Philz
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] z50king:
I haven't done it yet. It's been raining here and I am busy here at the house
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ChadH42:
I have given up on Philz recovery. I have never been able to recover the data partition on my SG4 with any version of his recovery tool.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mikeprius:
Strange. Have you wiped both the internal of the phone as well ? I keep a backup copy of TWRP only to wipe internals. The wipe in TWRP I go to then advance and check everything except microsd and usb. Then I go to format in TWRP and type yes...After that I reboot and reload Philz. That's the only thing I use TWRP for that PhilZ does not do is completely wipe the internal of the phone (I.e. everything). With TWRP the problem I had was the restore did not correctly restore the boot so my phone would get stuck on the boot screen. I used TWRP (second newest version). Did not have a problem restoring ASOP but could not restore TW nandroids with TWRP.

Granted TWRP has a more sexy interface but I could never get it to work right.......
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pgriffinsc:
Can I assume the jflte version on the downloads page is for all GS4? Reason I ask, is because it's got the newest version number, and all builds are fairly recent by date.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Phil3759:
You win the most useless post of the year for a dev

No details, no logs, no info...

Do not expect useful help this way
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] reverepats:
Head to back and restore from the main menu. Next go to the misc Android settings down the bottom. Again, go to the bottom and make see the SE Context options is checked.

Since 4.3 dropped and and twrp wasn't useful for us, I've never had an issue. Actually been using it ever since and wouldn't use anything else. Try that, bet it'll help out

This is common practice for me.. I have always flashed the new version in the old version using the zip file

Sent from my SPH-L720
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] z50king:
I am making a nand now. This wants to make a 4.65 Gig nand. Is it safe to change the file type to tar + gzip and turn on the compression? I have always used compressed files in TWRP to save space but that was saving space for 1.5 Gig nands! These are huge!

I don't know what tar + gzip means so I'm not going to do it now. Will these restore correctly? Just take more time to write, correct?

Also, why is the Backup Cache selected by default when making a nand. I have always been told not to backup either caches
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pgriffinsc:
The newer versions of Philz have selinux context back up by default.Also,some of the problems people are having can be alleviated by flashing the newer builds in the jflte folder,and not the jfltespr folder.The newest version is 6.19.6.

i am on MF9 boot loader with odexed rooted NAE stock rom with hotspot mod. i am on Philz 6.089 and would like to update but can't get more current version to load. here is the log. thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Phil3759:
did you put in /data/media under ROM?

In that case, toggle it in Advanced options or put the zip in /data/media/0
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cwb1231:
Really stupid question. Put what in/data/media....?

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

I am using goo manager to install

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

Sorry put what in data/media.... i am using goo manager to install and storage is extSdCard. i can change the setting you mention in Philz, is that what you are asking?

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

also should i be using the zip file or teh zip.md5 file? i have tried both

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

booted into recovery and was able to install 21.3 version. i think i'll quit trying while my phone still works. Still not sure of the difference between the 2 zip versions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Phil3759:
md5 file: you'll get the use of it start of 6.21.x

datamedia: read the FAQ
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dewrust:
The difference between the two zips is that one you use in Odin and one you can use to flash in recovery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Phil3759:
:cyclops:

odin only accepts tar.md5

The difference is that one is the zip, the other an md5 file for the zip
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cwb1231:
I am sorry but I must be blind. I can't find the FAQ on how to use the md5 file
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ParkerParker:
Not sure where you are at with this but here's the quick guide (learn how to use Odin it will save your butt)... DL goo manager(from play store) , settings,, install open script recovery, now you are on twrp, next boot to recovery (reboot, hold volume up) now flash this (just flash it nothing else)

http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/jflte/philz_touch_6.22.1-jflte.zip

After flash, reboot recovery.. You are now on philz recovery.. Little learning curve but the most reliable bad azz recovery out there.. Good luck :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cwb1231:
Thanks I am already on Philz. what I am trying to understand the difference between the zip file and the zip.md5 file
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ParkerParker:
The md5 file helps insure you DL the correct zip, it's a way of double checking zips in non computer talk lol, if you really want to understand read this

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5

It looks like this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cwb1231:
i am trying again. do i install the md5 zip first, second or in place of the regular zip
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ParkerParker:
You don't flash it at all, you only flash the zip I linked a couple posts up... After you install the zip I posted above you can check the md5 with a file manager

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rhmsoft.fm

The md5 file is only to double check that you DL the entire zip, it's not used to flash or do anything else...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cwb1231:
thanks i get it now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Phil3759:
In latest, you can enable md5 verification

It will notify you if it is wrong but lets you flash if you choose to

Where did you find the latest version? I checked the Op and the latest versions and didn't see that one. I'm currently on Sacs 4.4.2 and am looking for a more stable recovery than CWM 6.0.4.4 or TWRP 2.7.0.1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ParkerParker:
Op, once there it's found under jflte, here's the link

Oh ok. I was looking under the specific jfltespr for Sprint. Thanks Parker. Oh yeah I hit that thanks button too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ciabatoni:
ooooops

I was tinkering in my recovery and I unmounted the system folder, Then I rebooted after tinker a little more with backround colors..So after reboot I went to go back into recobery, and I can see it loads at left top side of screen, But it doesnt go into recovery, it turns black vibrates again and boots into the phone like normal, I think its do to unmounting the system in recover, Anyway, I flashed twrp thru odin to try and fix it, But its still doing the same thing, I dont know what else to do, I was gonna try and flash another version of philz to see if it fixes it, Ill report back if it does, But any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanx.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] esloudan:
Mine is like that. What I do is just let go of the buttons as soon as the blue recovery words show in the upper left corner, then it will go to recovery. I kept holding it and it would reboot again to system.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ciabatoni:
im good

Things are good now, The one post that said after the image comes up let go of home and power buttons and continue to hold up button, That worked for me, so far its worked every time...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cwb1231:
You don't need the home button anymore. Just the power button and the up our down button depending on whether you want recovery or download mode
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
So...for the Sprint S4 we can use either the "jfltespr" version or the "jflte"? I'm seeing the latest "jfltespr" is v 6.15.4 but for "jflte" there's 6.25.2. I'd like to try the latest build but don't want to mess up my phone if "jflte" isn't fully-compatible with the Sprint variant of the phone. Please advise. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] travisw0204:
Yes you can use the jflte. However, use the 6.25.0 version. Someone tried the 6 25.2 version and it messed up the external sd for him
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dewrust:
Please read the red text in the op. This should set your worries to rest
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
Sorry I missed that. Thanks!

Is it safe to flash 6.25.0 zip on mobil odin? Or should i use destop odin? Thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
Why not just flash the zip in recovery? Unless you still have a stock recovery that is...

---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

If you are rooted, using an app like this will save you some headaches and maybe some button wear and tear too. :)

Yea im still on stock 4.4.2 just got my s4 yesterday. Rooted this morning. Do you know if anyone used mobil odin with success? I used to use mobil odin on my e4gt to flssh cwm zip to flash roms. Just wondering if i can do the same. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dewrust:
I have heard mixed results with mobile odin working and not working in different moments... I stick to pc and have never had an issue

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mxmr:
negamann303's custom NAE rom comes with a modified version of philz recovery that includes an option to refuse legacy update binaries. Maybe [MENTION=593681]negamann303[/MENTION] or [MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] could shed some light on this?

Flashing the Zip or Installing on a Mac

Can I flash the zip to install this from my current CWM recovery? If not, how would I install it from a mac? Thanks!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] felibon:
Do you have mobile Odin? I just flashed back to stock to take the NG2 update. I rerooted my phone, downloaded mobile Odin and flashed the "recovery.img" file. To get the img file just download the zip philz recovery zip and extract it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Tekone:
No.. i am using PC Odin v3.07. but everytime i flash and it show finished. When I try to boot in Recovery mode, its still stock recovery.(stock recovery with death android)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] felibon:
Have you tried using a different cable? I know it may sound stupid but it's happened to me where Odin for some reason didn't like a certain cable.

Another suggestion would be to flash TWRP or stock CWM. Then once you're in either of those recoveries you can flash philz as a zip

Here's stock cwm https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

Sorry I keep editing this Lol

One last suggestion would be to try and flash it via Odin 1.85
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Tekone:
Thanks for input.. I get the Philz work after 6-7 flash. Each time after flashed, it reboot to Android and didn't reboot to Recovery mode. On last flash, I manually put battery off and reboot to recovery mode and it work now..

after spending about 4 hours proving to myself that TWRP 2.6.0.0 was being buggy and not working correctly and trying TWRP 2.5.0.2 as well, I installed this and the madness stopped. Thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Androidious:
By chance is this going to be updated to the latest cwm base of 6.0.3.6? ROM manager is reporting that my current recovery is 6.0.3.3. Which I'm guessing is the base this is currently built off of. Just wondering :)

This is one helluva great recovery Phil!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shizkoff777:
I could be wrong but I read in his main thread that his phone was tearing up so he wasn't going to be upsating anymore.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Androidious:
Gotcha... sad, but gotcha
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Phil3759:
You should quote all what you read

I never said I won't updating it.

Look at my github and main thread: I never pushed so many updates

But, with my semi-bricked phone, I cannot test most parts related to datamedia, so not compiling for many devices. Only 1 or 2

I added a donations counter in my signature. Still missing 100 USD to be back to compiling for all devices hopefully
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] binaryimage:
Like the features of this recovery, looked around the forum can't find an answer to my problem. The recovery can't detect my external SD card
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shizkoff777:
Man Im sorry when I read what you had posted it said you was going to get your last commits in or something like that and that your phone was dying.If you took me like I was acting like a know it all or some **** thats not what I was doing.I haven't been back to your thread since your first post about what had happened.Oh well I guess wont do it again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Phil3759:
No worry. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rsngfrce:
Maybe I chose an incorrect option, but attempting to do my first nandroid using this recovery, chose backup to external sd I think, no compression, not using exFat, backup is taking FOREVER... must be over an hour so far and still running. Did I do something incorrect? With all the options, it certainly seems possible... :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] imneveral0ne:
Does your external SD have a slow write speed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rsngfrce:
To be honest, I'm not sure... is there a way to check this (and what would be considered slow?). Nandroids made with TWRP recovery always seemed took take what seemed a 'normal, amount of time and my SD card (SanDisk 64gb) doesn't 'seem' slow to me.

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with this recovery, but if it just me this slow for some reason, I will have to switch back to TWRP, which I don't want to. If nobody else is having this issue with the G4 Sprint variant, there must br something wrong on my side and I just need to figure our what that is..

:banghead:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Androidious:
I loved this recovery too. But noticed the nandroids took forever to create (20-25 mins) where the latest cwm takes no more than the normal 5 mins
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rsngfrce:
There has GOT to be something wrong here... I don't know if it is me, my phone, or what. Trying another nandroid backup, gets through /boot, /recovery, and /system fine. Then it gets to /data... so far the backup has been running 1 hour and 20 minutes and the status bar hasn't even reached the halfway point yet. Keeps running through a series of what looks like 8 digit hexadecimal numbers. 3319 of 5664Mb done. I really don't understand what could be wrong if nobody else is having this problem? :eek:

UPDATE: Backup completed in 102 minutes...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rsngfrce:
I changed the prefs from cwm backup to twrp backup and the backup then took 58 minutes. The log file for this backup is 80177 lines long in Jota+. Lines 12126 to 75857 are all 8 digit hexadecimal numbers. I've attached an edited copy of the log, which has the bedinning of the log, cuts to where the hexadecimal numbers start, cuts to where the hexadecimal numbers end, then cuts to the end of the log.

I switched back to TWRP recovery, backup took 29 minutes with a 3824 line long log file. TWRP did not include the recovery partition or the cache by default, but I am sure that has nothing to do with PhilZ taking so much longer.

Anyone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Phil3759:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheGoodFellas:
I had this recovery in mind just a minute ago :laugh: great to see someone else was thinking the same. How bad is the current version? I was thinking of removing Twrp for it but I've read the backups are taking forever to complete :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] imneveral0ne:
The backup I just did took 9 minutes. Not horribly slow, but it could be faster. At least there are no more errors on this recovery!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheGoodFellas:
At 9 minutes I dont mind waiting that at all ! Twrp is giving me wrong data size error. Every time i am creating a backup, the Data partition reads 7.3+ terabytes inuse which is completely wrong. The boot and system sizes are correct thouugh. Im using twrp 2.0.6.1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheGoodFellas:
Data partition space error

Hello,

Im having some issues with this recovery as well. I dont understand why every Recovery (Twrp/Cwm/Phillz) is giving me incorrect data space usage but its mind blowing. Im using ext SD. The sad part is now Phillz and CWM is both giving me the terabyte issue while creating a nandroid backup.

Phillz recovery states:

exact error says:

>>Free Space- 6778mb"

>>Needed Space- 7548965mb"

>> Uknown partitions size (1): - /sd-ext

I've tried switching recoveries and nothing works. My issue is exactly the same as this person and i do not think he was able to solve it either :confused:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] imneveral0ne:
I had that same error, but the new TWRP fixed that for me. Maybe there is a TWRP log file somewhere that PhilZ touch is reading to make it say it's that big?
