In the first few pages of this threa someone posted a Loki'd version of Philz.. Flash that in recovery first. Then go into recovery ~advanced and toggle Loki support aka auto Loki.

Then flash the latest Philz recovery. Its pretty easy I just did it couple weeks ago.

That's the Loki patched one. I read that after a certain version they were already Loki'd but I flashed that one just in case since we know for sure it already is. Good luck. Its an awesome recovery. Philz the man
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vanydotk:
It looks like there is a script that will autodetect Loki if needed and apply it on the newer versions. I'm going to hold off on installing PhilZ until someone can confirm this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vt0r:
This was already confirmed in the original thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43707326

Right below number 9.

Just make sure you're using the flashable zip and not the image, otherwise you have to patch it yourself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vanydotk:
Thanks for the response. I flashed it via TWRP and it works! One more question, under number 9 it reads:

Just to clarify, does that mean in the future when I upgrade PhilZ Touch I should go into the advanced menu and toggle Loki support to disabled before I flash the new version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phil3759:
I always wanted to be sure of this too, if someone can test and report
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Yea that's how I took it.. pretty cool.

I saw the script that auto loki's and assumed I'd be good just grabbing the newest file and flashing from twrp when I originally installed Philz....guess I just get paranoid and ended up going with the older version I knew was Loki'd then flashing latest Philz. Either way I got to the latest and greatest Philz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vt0r:
I just updated to the latest 6.13 or whatever it is using the flashable zip while leaving auto Loki enabled.

Worked fine for me.

EDIT - clarity
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phil3759:
Thank you for having confirmed this :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vt0r:
No problem at all. Thanks for the recovery. Maybe one of these days I'll actually get around to contributing some code if I can find improvements to make.

Phil ( or anyone who can help)

Is there anything I can do from within your recovery or elsewhere that can Get me past a status 7 error while trying to install a GPE 4.4 rom?

I was told just use twrp....but I don't want twrp!!

I read online something about editing a file within the rom I'm trying to flash?!

Just tried tried the jflte file. wound up with a yellow triangle. enabled loki and i guess it double lokied it and aborted. disabled flashed and said to reboot recovery. Boom triangle. Will odin back to stock n reroot later, just wanted to let y'all know. Phone still boots into ROM with lock on boot screen (not animations which do work)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ecossais:
I did the same thing and had to odin back to stock and reroot. Went back to jfltevzw and I am back in business.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FordNate:
you know might wanna report your findings if things went wrong so others have a heads up. Just saying
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ecossais:
It turns out that the jflte recovery for all is not loki'd whereas the jfltevzw recovery is loki'd. I should have checked that before I flashed it. Cost me some time but no real harm done as long as you know how to use odin and adb.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mgbotoe:
There is no history of breaking phones is there?

One thing I couldnt figure out about cwm is that I couldnt name the backups in recovery...is that possible with this one?

Famously Infamous
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MisterEdF:
If you backup using CWM through ROM Manager you can name the backups.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phil3759:
By the way, this recovery auto adds a to folder name the rom name grabbed from build.prop
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BlackGURU:
Better Than any recovery you've used before

In my honest opinion

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] omnifarious:
Will not mount my external 64 gb SanDisk micro SD xc card formatted fat32. Had to switch to Cwm. Cwm and twrp don't have this problem, just tested. I love this recovery software. Please fix. Thanks

Edit: I even tried an updated version for the i9505 and still didn't mount. Also, I'm using an i9505 ROM on my sgh-m919 in case you're wondering about the sig
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
The card is probably exFAT format. If you reformat it to Fat32 I bet you it would work.

Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] omnifarious:
No it's fat32
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phil3759:
I doubt it

If you format under windows, it will never be fat32

And recovery, only does a recursive delete, so no fat32 true formatting

I am updating all recoveries soon
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] omnifarious:
I used epm. The only method other than guifat32 that would be recognized. I'm 100 percent sure it's fat32

I'm just bringing this to your attention so no need to question my intelligence. Thanks for all the work so far but like I said, this is the only recovery of the three which won't mount my SD. That is all

The gui method formatted with 32gb allocation size. And I couldn't use the other half of my SD card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phil3759:
Do not take things personal. I do not question your intelligence, but without a log and any details except some statements, I throw most frequent errors or ignore the question.

Unlike cwm/twrp, I use stock kernels to be able to support exfat through Samsung ko modules, much faster than fuse in cwm. It could be Samsung kernel doesn't support the 64Gb fat32, but I doubt it as many reported it working on i9505.

However, if you did not format as primary partition, it will fail to mount. This is the most common error for fat32 users

In next version exfat support should be fixed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] omnifarious:
Thanks Phil. Looking forward to it. I very much enjoy using your software. Keep up the good work. I'll try to get a log for you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phil3759:
you're welcome

Without having many phones to test, I am relying on users feedback and logs.

It could be stock kernel doesn't like logical partitions...

Current version of T-mobile Galaxy S4 is philz_touch_5.08.5-jfltetmo.zip? And on the main thread's title is "[10.08.2013]CWM 6.0.3.5 Advanced Edition / PhilZ Touch 5.10.7 + exFAT + NTFS"

Should I assume we're about to get an update as well or just flash the 5.08.5 version?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
You can just flash 5.08.5 and if there's any update/newer version you can update to that. Using 5.08.5 and it's working great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brando56894:
I love this recovery but for some reason it isn't flashing ROMs properly for me. When I flash them (tried three different versions of CM) it wouldn't have a boot animation and my phone wouldn't connect to the network, it would say "baseband unknown". I flashed a regular version of CWM and the ROMs worked fine. Any idea what's wrong?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] malevolent000:
Drop aromafm.zip into /clockworkmod/aromafm/ (usually on internal sd) . You will have to create aromafm directory in the CWM folder.

No problem. I wouldnt say install but it runs. Think of it as an exe. The settings are saved in a cfg file. Although, the scrolling is a little wonky you will notice while in aroma. Not sure when they will fix but its kinda unusable at least for me at this point.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattc3325:
hey just a lame questions

I'm coming from TWRP 2.5.0.2, i was reading on XDA somewhere that the Philz Touch was having issues installing roms on any version except 5.11 (read: that you had to re-flash the ROM Kernel to get it to install correctly on any Philz except 5.11) with 5.11 not available on T-mobile S4 (just yet)is this true or am I good to go on the current version Philz Touch 5.08??

sorry for the stupid question
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] packetdog:
I saw that PhilZ was up to v5.11 for the i9505, so I went poking around and found philz_touch_5.11.0-jfltexx.zip (direct download link) in the i9505 folder on his file hosting site. I thought I'd give it a whirl. I haven't flashed a rom yet because I'm not convinced the backups are working. I'm backing up to the external SD, and it finds it, and runs (for ~30mins!) and then when it seems to cleanly finish it shows backup size: 0. Then when I check the dir, there is 4GB of files there. I'm going to run the onandroid script too to see how the results vary.

I've read on some of these forums that it's just the TW roms that take this long, but the non-TW ones are very fast. Can anyone confirm this? Is it possible that the pictures and videos are getting rolled into the backup? I moved them all to the external SD, and modified the settings to put new photos there.. seems to be working, so I thought that action would exclude them from the backup. If they're getting rolled into it then I could see why it would take so long.. hmm
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Meowdib:
You're probably going to brick your phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] packetdog:
So, I said I already flashed it.. and unless something has changed since I was flashing ROMs on other devices, if it's going to brick that would have happened as I flashed it. Additionally I have the jfltetmo and this was labeled as the *-jfltexx.zip so granted- it was not posted in the device thread, but it was labeled as compatible with US Variants.

The good news is that it's working, I'm guessing it's just a bug with totaling the backup set size when backing up to External SD media.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Thanks very much for making this Recovery available.

I just installed PhilZ Touch 5 - CWM Base version: 6.0.3.3 a couple of days ago.

I am now able to install ROMs which have Aroma cooked into them, without any issues at all.

Boots, reboots, apps, etc. All work issue free. I have had a multitude of issues regarding the above with another Recovery, which worked fine up until I attempted to install ROMs with Aroma cooked into them.

I notice that when Aroma completes the install and hands off to PhilZ prior to boot, it takes a few

seconds to boot. Almost as if calculations are going on to ensure an issueffree boot.

It just seems that your Recovery meshes with Aroma much better.

Previously, even though the ROM would install, I had issues with reboots, certain choices in Aroma not taking, splash screen freezes, etc., etc. This went on for a week and more. Flashing Nandroids, ODINing back to stock happened almost on a daily basis.

After not being able to pinpoint the exact cause, and noticing that the transition from Recovery to boot appeared erratic, meaning that sometimes the transition would take a split second, sometimes 4 seconds, sometimes the entire Recovery screen appeared, sometimes not, and after others suggestions, I flashed your PhilZ Recovery, and not a peep of any issues.

Not trying to sound like a commercial for your Recovery, but when something works so ewell, which saves me multiple hours of troubleshooting, aggravation, headaches and downtime, I gotta post about it and give you major props :good:

In addition, others may read this and have an ah ha moment, and try PhilZ out to see if that helps with similar issues they may be experiencing.

Thanks again for all of your hard work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phil3759:

Tried using ROM manager and installing cwm when I try to look for my device s4 tmo does t not show up. And as of now when I try to reboot into recovery it black screens then reboots the phone. So I'm assuming I have no recovery installed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Exel:
Your signature says you're using the I9505 model, are you sure you didn't flash a ROM that changed your build.prop to a different model number? Or do you even have the T-Mobile S3? M919? Try changing your build.prop back to the T-Mobile one and see if you can see Clockworkmod Recovery via ROM Manager.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] abalosmusic:
Currently own a tmo s4 but running foxhound ROM which is an international 9505 rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Exel:
That would explain why you can't flash Clockworkmod Recovery via ROM Manager as it reads your build.prop.

So either change your build.prop to match the T-Mobile S4 or flash the recovery you want via ODIN.
