I am wondering if it would be easier to just use flashify and the raw image.

Hey Phil, I tried flashing 6.19.6 but I'm getting a Loki error. I have the log saved, but I can't PM you. Is there a way I could get the full logs over to you so you could take a look? Thanks.

If anyone is curious, here goes part of the log that shows the Loki error I'm getting:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vanydotk:
Thanks, I totally missed the post below and I assumed the latest 6.19.6 would have auto-loki'd regardless of what version I was coming from

For anybody else coming from jfltevzw, you first need to flash the unified 6.18.7 that was loki'd by ecossais, then you could flash to the latest unified jflte. The link for the loki'd 6.18.7 made by ecossais is below

Thanks to Phil for all his work and ecossais for the loki to get us over to unified.

I'm probably going to ask the most stupidest question but could someone explain what this is versus safe strap? Can this be flashed with safe strap or replace safe strapon an mk2 device? Benefits? Cons? Pros? I've read through the thread and also the main thread but didn't see my question or answer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
If your on mk2 you can only use SafeStrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ncope562:
I can confirm that coming from the Loki'd 6.18.7 to Philz latest 6.19.6 worked like a charm with auto Loki on. Thanks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Phil I'm posting this screen shot for someone else, he can't post yet ( I guess ? ),

Anyways I was curious what would cause this myself in case it ever happened to me.

How is the "needed space" amount even possible??? And how can it be resolved? He said he's wiped everything before and still this issue persists.

Figured you know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phil3759:
holy formatting /data+/datamedia, /system and /cache is reported to fix it

Could be a bug when many holes in files on system or many 0 size files
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phil3759:
notice:

seems like latest versions under jflte are not loki enabled (no loki menu, not lokify enabled on install)

6.24.9 will fix this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hovo:
Gonna xpost from the topic I created in troubleshooting forum cuz I figure it's more appropriate for this thread (I panicked and posted there)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Check the post right above you from the master himself.

Try version 6.15.4 for now... I still have that one on my phone and I know it's Loki'd and good to go for you. I'm sure a later release would also work... Just I haven't been keeping up here and not sure exactly what version this problem began.

Flash that.. Then watch here for the latest release which will fix all this [emoji4]

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hovo:
Thanks. I ended up flashing twrp last night just to get it sorted out (did end up having a "custom" splash screen w/ the padlock, not sure why).

Im a little confused cuz I was under the impression that bootloader on MDK is unlocked and there wouldn't be a need for loki anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mettee:
Bootloader is locked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Like someone said.. Retail s4 with mdk is actually stilled locked, just bypassed so to speak. I just used Tri Angle Away to get rid of that silly splash screen. Works great check it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FordNate:
I've never tried triangle away due to conflicting reports about it on vzw phones. Thanks for the info on that though. The splash screen doesn't bother me too much though I st make sure recovery has loki n I'm good.

Also 6.18.7 was last released by philz for recovery. N if u flash the wrong.one n it gives u that bring ur phone to Verizon use flashify n flash that recovery image
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Yea Tri Angle Away worked good for be and a couple others without issue. That screen doesn't really bother me, it was just the lag it had most the time just sitting at it. I wasn't on stock ROM/kernel either when I used it .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Thanks. Finally had the nads to try it this morning. Did it on the GE Rom with the stock GE ROM kernel. Figured that that is really a Samsung kernel. Worked fine. If anyone else tries this, mine rebooted more than once with the "booting recovery" tiny blue text before it got to the triangle away screen. Pressed up to reset, then up to reboot normally and no more custom.

Pretty sure the old Synergy ROM also got rid of the custom splash, but i could not get it to flash anymore for some reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Is 6.25.2 all fixed up for us Loki Folks? Didn't see a 6.24.9 at all so just wanted to check with you as I didn't see anything mentioned. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FordNate:
yup. running it now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dasx86:
Got the latest 6.25.4 recovery with CM11 4/1 nightly :good:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
I want to get Loki support on my already rooted MDK with ROM Manager's CWM v6.0.4.4.

From what I gathered from this thread, it seems I should be flashing Philz 6.15.4 version in order to gain Loki support, is that right?

And lastly, can I just flash it through my current CWM by choosing flash zip file? Sorry for all the questions at once...help please? :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FordNate:
just between 6.18.4 n 6.20 (ish) there were gaps in recovery where loki was missing. its fixed now no worries and all unified builds have loki support. just flash through cwm like normal zip and reboot recovery

Hey ya'll! I'm looking to install this recovery on my fiancé's phone so I can flash the latest Kit Kat ROM and this recovery is highly recommended. She has OUDHS recovery at the moment but from what I have read, the philz works better. My question is, how do I install this over OUDHS? Do I just boot into my current recovery and flash the latest zip found here: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/jflte ? Or is there something else I need to do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Nope nothing you should have to do other than download the latest JFLTE version and flash in recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SO_dank:
Ummm im confused... should I download 6.15.4 the latest posted VZW version ... or is any s4 verzion ok... Im i545 VZW.. thanks much obliged :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Get the latest " JFLTE " version. It's the unified version. Just flash it in recovery and the auto Loki script will take care of everything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SO_dank:
Thanks done and done!!! one last question if anyone can help.. To do a clean install of a new rom do I simply cache ..dav.. factory reset.. or do I need to odin back to stock.. or do I need to use a clean wipe zip while in philz?? been so long ive finally commited to flashing a new rom and I came from the charge.. lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
All I do in Philz is use the " clean to install a new ROM " option under the wipe/factory reset menu. Most of the time you'll be just fine using that option between flashing updates or flashing different ROMs altogether.

Oh and wipe Dalvic too which is under the advanced menu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mudflap2.0:
please excuse my lateness and stupitidy on this subject, but I have a few questions: what is loki and does it unlock your bootloader?

im going to try to root someones phone tomarow and need to know how since im really late into things, hes going to update to 4.4 kitkat, is the root process the same, is the bootloader locked by default on kitkat?, and would I just flash the new unified build of philz for gs4, and do everything from there(like root and oc kernels, or mods/roms?)

im no noob to rooting, but im new to Verizon phones, I was always on the sprint side of things, and the bootloader seems surreal for a Samsung device, unless Verizon did it on purpose

also I would please like to know about how to get this Verizon variant to work on a T-Mobile sim card, or work on their network, thank you so much for getting this far and reading!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TTLayland:
You won't be unlocking anything. Also I wouldn't go to 4.4.2 before reading up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Look here first before doing anything so you know what your options are http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2606501

Don't update to kit Kat there is no root method for it just yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
So I just used Philz latest to move from ext4 to f2fs.

Observations:

Easy way: make a back up, toggle ext4 to f2fs conversion, format the partitions, restore the backup

The custom restore menu is kind of odd, you end up picking the file twice, but it works.

Don't be dumb like me and forget to flash an f2fs enabled kernel

To format data to f2fs, you have to go to the /data /data/media at the bottom of the format menu

It was kind of cool. I prefer the TWRP interface, but this certainly worked well. I still think we will get to full automation (just a check box when formatting, installing or restoring), but this is pretty close.

I still may go back to KT's TWRP build cause I like big dumb buttons, but honestly, this was a pretty straightforward.

Also, you can make your backups TWRP compatible if you want to baby step into this recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] calebcabob:
Hey Dr. Philz! :)

I'm running TWRP...how do u recommend me flashing your latest jfltevzw philz/touch? I've got the md5 file. Can I flash it via TWRP? Or should I just Odin it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Not sure if you've already figured it out but just hop in twrp and flash the zip like any other. Then reboot recovery and you'll have your Philz!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dashbash9787:
I cannot seem to disable/uncheck Apply Loki Patch on my Dev Edition S4. I believe that is why I keep getting loki install errors "Error 7" when I try and install some ROMs.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] egore93:
Do you have the loki zip? If so just flash the zip after you flash your rom.

Thanks for the reply but the Dev Edition of the S4 doesn't need Loki, we already have unlocked Bootloaders. I'm actually trying to stop Philz Touch from installing it / Removing the X next to "Apply Loki Patch" under the Advanced Menu.

freeze the verizon remote diagnostic in the system and that notice should go away, and maybe freeze any security policy stuff. i also uninstalled everything that said knox.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danielhammons1:
I've gotten pretty confused reading this, okay is this the version of philz that has the auto loki option?

I need to flash Dans gpe 5.0 Rom but I have to have a recovery that auto lokis, I'm actually pretty sure they recommend jeboos but for some reason it fails when I try to install with a flash.. But anyway, so I'm stuck and it's driving me insane not being able to flash this Rom. Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scrillakev:
I believe for Dan's GPE ROM the recommended recovery is the latest TWRP for Verizon that should auto loki it for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danielhammons1:
I'm on at&t though, and on the thread it says to use jeboos recovery that's why I was being cautious. And no one else has had the issue which is weird, it won't even flash my jeboos recovery it just says "failed"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dadoc04:
Thank you and OP both. Flashing now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawnten:
i just tried this and i couldnt get it to wipe my data. it is way different then the twrp that i have used for years now. i did a factory reset and a reset for a new rom and it didnt delete any data when i went from clean rom to hyperdrive. any tips on what i may have done wrong. on a side note i couldnt get twrp to backup my roms because it said my data partition was like 128652mb so it wouldnt backup saying i didnt have enough room on sd card. this one still said my data was that huge number that i know it isnt but at least it still backed up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phil3759:
You mean you need to format internal sdcard?

For that, look into Mounts and Storage menu

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zeroxg4:
Turn your phone off by pulling the battery or booting to odin (theres a choice to hit volume down to shut the phone off there) then boot normally. Flash cwm through rom manager. Download from the SECOND download link (the one that says loki patched)..it is also located in the second to last post on the first page. Flash that in recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jeremiah_1988:
mother of pearl!!! thank you! i was sweating bullets man!!!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zeroxg4:
No problem. From what I understand "loki" is just a bypass for the checks done in our bootloader (since we dont have an unlocked bootloader). When you install something that isn't loki supported then you get that message.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jeremiah_1988:
Got it! I've been flashing for a few years now but man when something like that happens I start to freak a little lol glad it was an easy fix and thank you again!

[MENTION=218262]Phil[/MENTION]

I was wondering if you were going to update the US variants to 5.07.6 ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phil3759:
v5.07.6 seems a stable release.

However, I need some support to loki to update ATT and VERIZON versions

The problem is that I repack them so they loose loki patch

I am short on time right now, so, if someone can confirm this:

If I repack the recovery.img then it is loki patched, the loki features (detection...) will still work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] guyd:
I don't know the answer to your question, but I will be getting the Developer Edition which has an unlocked bootloader and doesn't need the loki patch applied to recovery.

I might be in the minority here, but I would be most greatfull if you could also continue to release a "normal" recovery for those of us that have the unlocked developer device. Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phil3759:
Ok, looking quickly at sources, it seems the patching happens only based on bootloader detected from device

Since I do not use any extracted files, it is probably unpatched

I will release, like first one, non patched.

Hope someone patches it for latest bootloader or upload a bootloader so that I patch it

Let you know soon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ibukimasta:
upload the 5.07.6 for verizon i'll loki patch that one again and test it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] paulg1981:
So just to be sure, at the moment there is no version for loki users?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] il buono:
The link is not dead. Either download it from a computer or use a different mobile browser than chrome. I just tried it on mobile Chrome and the link won't download.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
Can this recovery report the correct date and time when creating a nandroid?

CWM and Twrp cannot seem to do that.

I just did exactly that using the

Tar.md5 then used it to flash superSU to obtain root. Works beautifully.

Ok I rooted and have OUDHS cwm installed no rom yet. I am trying to get a goos backup of my imei.. efs.. vn I did a nandroid but i see that you can do just an efs backup with this recovery.

By the way it looks awsome as all heck!! ill try either way just want to know. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawnten:
so verizon s4 has not been updated to the latest?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
Bump.

I am currently on TWRP and have tried the standard CWM. Neither recovery picks up the correct date/time when creating a Nandroid.

Any chance that the Philz Touch recovery reports the correct date/time on an Nandroid?

thanks,

Scott
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phil3759:
It was the case on my builds until latest updates. The set time function I was using is corrupting CMOS for some users

Now, I use TWRP similar code to set time. You get a correctly displayed time on screen, but backups are still stamped with GMT time

I will add the settime option again, maybe as option
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
I am a little unclear on your reply. Are you saying that with the current release of CWM Adv Edition that the correct date and time are NOT stamped on the Nandroid backups?

I care more about the correct date versus time since I rarely keep more than one Nandroid for a given day. Using a tool like Rom Toolbox with TWRP or Rom Manager with CWM is an okay work around since those apps add the correct date to the Nandroid backup name. The files still have the wrong date stamps, but the folder name gives me the needed info.

Can you confirm that your CWM Adv Edition can be launched for Rom Manager?

thanks,

Scott
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phil3759:
folder name is correctly stamped. Real file time shown by browsers is incorrect though to avoid the CMOS corruption issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] diaftia:
Its been a while since I have used CWM. I have been using TWRP because the interface was easy to use with my big hands. With TWRP I am getting a weird issue where it corrupts my data partition (It asks me to enter a password to access the encrypted partition and I have to full wipe). I have decided to go back to CWM based recovery to hopefully mitigate this issue. There were a couple of things I remember CWM recoveries doing and I was wondering if it still does them?

Two questions:

1. The backup files could not have a name set to them. Has this been addressed?

2. I remember CWM putting a TON of files on my data partition when doing a backup. Does it still do that?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phil3759:
1- PhilZ Touch tags backups with ROM name from build.prop

2- That's because you were selecting the dup incremental format instead of tar
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SO_dank:
So would a backup be able to collect NV data???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
Once I installed the Loki version of your recovery everything went fine. Initially installed the file in Post #1 and was greeted by that lovely warning Triangle.

After setting the correct timezone I am finally getting accurate folder names. No more 1970.
