When I launched Philz Touch through ROM Manager the backup went to the internal memory instead of the SD-card. It would be nice to have a setting in Philz Touch to be able to set the SD card as the destination for a Nandroid. To pick the SD card seems to require a separate menu option from within the recovery app.

Thoughts?

EDIT: There is an option in ROM Manager under settings to select External Storage as the destination for Nandroids!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phil3759:
Many thanks for your generosity :good:

I did not test latest ROM Manager versions. However, until recently, Koush did not support external storage in his app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawnten:
does anyone know how to loki patch the latest

seems like i couldnt install any of the 4.3 roms using this recovery. any tips
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
I like my backups to get generated as quickly as possible. What is the benefit of generating an MD5 checksum for the Nandroid? Would I know if there was a corrupt backup set before I tried a restore?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phil3759:
before restoring, nand checks for md5 sums in fact

About option for ROM Manager: I think rather Koush should fix his app. Are you sure there is no such option on latest releases of the app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
WHOA Nelly - i just found an option in Rom Manager to use External memory. Trying that now.

EDIT: Its all good! I was able to kick off a backup from Rom Manager and have it get stored on the Ext memory card. Yippee! And best of all the dates and times are correct. =profit

Im a little confused, which of these are loki patched, the link in the thread is 404 and none in the op can be used?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] whitlecj:
I am in a similar situation as the guy that you responded too. I get the verizon wireless message. My problem is I can't get my phone to boot up into a rom either? What can I do to avoid losing root and bootloader unlock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ainvar:
I read through this thread, and I browsed through the main thread for Philz CWM recovery. From lack of updates is Philz-CWM no longer getting updated for the Galaxy S4 VZW phone?

Install the mdk kernel through Odin. There is a link in the MDK root thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] yevgenydev:
[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]

If you are on a AOSP rom, and you flash the MDK you will not be able to boot. Only way to do this is to install a stock MDK release (2gb) and flash it in Odin.

Be warned, and this stuff needs a label on it. Who the hell posts a link to a recovery that isn't Loki'd. I made the mistake of assuming that someone wouldn't be so blatantly unknowing to loki a recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bait-Fish:
Downloading the loki patched version proved difficult. As expected, it didn't work in mobile Chrome. Mobile stock browser failed too, even using desktop mode.

Unexpectedly, desktop Chrome failed. Surprisingly, Internet Explorer successfully downloaded it :what:

Big thanks to PhilZ and Ibukimasta. I also appreciate having the non-loki version for my Dev Edition. Keep up the great work!

Something weird going on with this recovery and the CM nightly, I get no service and About > Phone info shows Unknown for baseband / IDs

I tried a few times to flash with clean wipes, but same issue each time. I then flashed the stock CWM recovery and was able to install the nightly fine. Any idea what can cause this ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Captain Crypto:
Location of backup file(s)

Big edit: This post was originally me asking for help, then thinking out loud to try to figure it out. I'm re-writing it to simplify.

I have the S4 developer edition and I'm trying to do nandroid backups. I have two issues:

First issue: I'm trying to get my 64gb SD card recognized by recovery so that I can save my nandroids to my SD card instead the internal phone. The phone recognizes the card but recovery doesn't. I don't remember now how I formatted the card but I think I forced FAT32 so that all 64gb were recognized. If I have to, I'll reformat it in exfat so that recovery will mount the card and save the nandroids to the card. I'll re-re-re-read the OP instructions on this.

Second issue: I was trying to manually move the backup files (two nandroids) to the SD card using Windows (7) Explorer. I couldn't find the files using Explorer but I did find them using Root Explorer on the phone. I followed the link to /data/media, and I changed the permissions from 770 to 777. I was then able to see the files in Windows Explorer. Hopefully this doesn't break any functionality but so far, so good. I'll have to learn how to do this the "right" way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] equake:
I believe you have to manually specify the External SD as the backup for nandroids. Normally an 64GB is formatted exFAT. I'm using a 32GB exFAT SD and Phiz has no trouble seeing it nor something like ES File Explorer. I have read that some people are having problems with the 64GB SD cards which I am trying next.

My 2 cents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] yakitori2:
Same thing happens to me on eclipse 5.1. Can't install that ROM on this recovery for some reason
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Captain Crypto:
I tried to specify the external card but recovery doesn't recognize the card, says it's not there. When I first got the card I read that the phone has trouble recognizing the card if it's formatted exfat, so I formatted it FAT32. If I reformat it exfat I'm hoping the phone recognizes it.

I need 64gb for my music (streaming isn't an option all the time), and with TW ROMs being so large, 64gb is a necessity.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
Philz cannot find my 64gb exFat external sdcard at all. TWRP has no trouble at all with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Captain Crypto:
I was hoping this wasn't the case but I suspected it might be. I'm looking into my options including TWRP.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] an21281:


The only problem for me is that TWRP won't flash 4.3 roms correctly and after the first boot I get stuck on the Samsung splash screen indefinitely. CWM is the only recovery that has worked with 4.3 roms and my 64gb SD.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
Hmm.... Haven't tried a 4.3 rom yet. Most likely won't until sbreen updates Hyperdrive to 4.3. Stuff like this is why I am using both recoveries.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Wonder what the deal is? I had flashed nitro's 4.3 ROM with TWRP. I have my 64 GB card formatted fat32...Maybe that's the difference?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] an21281:
Not sure, some people say that TWRP doesn't wipe correctly, but I never had the problem with any 4.2 roms. I think I formatted my 64gb card to fat32.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phil3759:
This question was answered 1000x times

I am soon releasing an update, like I did for i9505, to fix issues for cm10.3 flashers

For now, stick to stock cwm if you flash cm-10.3 based roms until I push an update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SellswordShev:
Bummer, cant wait for the update, stock CWM seems to be the only CM10.2 compatible recovery at the moment (since TWRP 2.6 is completely botched because of permissions issues). Cant use any of my ORS flashing scripts :(

Thank you a lot

I do not want to locki patch by default as this is promised to die one time + many people prefer a stock release for unlocked phones or to patch them selves
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] equake:
I agree since I have the VZW Dev Edition and really don't want LOKI. I may switch to SS due to future updates locking the bootloader. Ironic you can't unlock it even though its a Dev edition.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
Odined custom recovery onto it. Could not have done that if it was locked, I think. Didn't have to use loki work around or anything. I have decided not to take any future Vzw updates. I will wait for the new features to be included in custom roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] equake:
Dev Editions should be HW unlocked unless ME7 Image flash is used according to some people but we shouldn't need Loki.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
I upgraded to 5.18.2 which went fine on my S4. Strangely ROM Manager still reports that I am on ClockworkMod 6.0.3.7 and tells me that I should upgrade to 6.0.4.4.

I thought 5.18.2 included updates to ClockworkMod 6.0.4.4.

I use ROM manager to launch my NANDROID backup because I like the way in names the files to include the current date.

Any ideas as to why ROM Manager still thinks I am running on the older CWM?

thanks,

Scott

That's interesting. ROM manager says that Im on 6.0.3.7 even though I am on Philz 5.18.2

Maybe I should switch to CWM 6.0.4.4 and then install Philz on top of that.

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

I accepted the standard CWM recovery through ROM Manager than rebooted into Recovery and installed Philz CWM on top of it. The banner for the zip install showed older rev #'s which was odd. Now ROM manager shows that I have 6.0.4.4 installed.

It shows that because all I did was change the recovery.img from the other zip file that was posted, but for any new update all you half to do is unzip and remove the recovery.img from my file and replace it with the new recovery.img and you can update it, without having to wait for someone to post it

I've got issues

MDK edition, but "new" to Samsung. Installed easily with loki enabled no issues with install. I can flash roms/mods/gapps no issue, cannot get recovery to fully work though. It will make a backup and leave it around 3gb in size (which is a lot compared to my old HTC Dinc2 @1.7 the most) but I cannot restore from that backup either due to md5 mismatch or incomplete data, even right after i make the backup.. Also at times it does not see my memory card or the zips on it saying its blank. CWM recovery throws mostly all info onto my internal storage. How do i switch it to external?

Locked bootloader? How to lokify before flashing my zip files:

In Advanced Menu / Toggle Loki Support : enable auto loki

Flash the zip file and you are done

Note:

All versions released after PhilZ Touch 6.01.2 will have a script in installer to lokify the image if you are coming from older recoveries or TWRP.

Unlocked bootloader users can extract the recovery.img file and restore it from inside recovery:

put recovery.img in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/philz_update/recovery.img

In Custom Backup and Restore menu, unselect all except recovery

validate to browse to the update recovery.img

I guess I misunderstood how to flash this. I am on MDK and flashed the newest zip file in twrp then I rebooted recovery. Now my phone will not boot into recovery or into the system. It is saying: SecureFail Kernel: unauthorized software take to verizon, blah blah blah. At the moment I'm trying to get my computer to see my phone in odin, then I will try to flash the tar file. I'm at a loss at the moment. Any help is greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: The recovery is failing though odin. It says Secure Check Fail: Recovery :(

2nd UPDATE: Ok phone is working again. I just turned it on after the failed odin flash and it boot up just like I left it. I assume the flash was acctually good but I didn't want to boot to recovery to find out. Instead I installed twrp again because I knew it worked. However, does this need to be loki-fied if flashed in odin???

Final UPDATE: Ok, flashed the lokied vzw zip found in this forum then I enabled auto loki in advanced settings and flashed the latest philz recovery, now all is well.
