TWRP restores backups but doesnt flash ROMs

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. should I reinstall TWRP and see if its my recovery? Getting the message "unable to verify zip file signature" when flashing any ROM. Including zip file that was installed currently. Thank you developers! You guys rock!

Is it possible to obtain a logcat on Touchwiz ROMs? I'm trying to get some information related to a bug I'm experiencing in an application so I can forward the logcat to the developer, but I've been unable to get a logcat. I've tried using apps from the Play Store, such as alogcat and catlog, using ADB to view/save a log from my PC, and using LOGCATTOOL(3.1).exe which I found somewhere on these forums. My result is always either a blank file, or the following message:

Unable to open log device '/dev/log/main': No such file or directory

I have USB debugging enabled, and am running Wicked v3 with Faux123's kernel. I found an area in the developer options allowing me to choose an app to debug, but only three apps are present of my 20+ installed apps and none of them are the app I about which I am trying to capture a log.

The app in question, though probably not relevant, is Juicedefender.

I'd also submit a logcat of my inability to capture a logcat, but if I was able to do that, I wouldn't be posting this question in the first place! :silly:

Anyone here manage to run 3minit on their phone here?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
I thanked your posts because this line made me laugh. Thank you for that!

Anyway I didn't have my phone for 20 minutes before Touchwiz was removed and Cyanogen was installed so I can't tell you the answer. Logging does need to be enabled in the kernel and it's possible that Touchwiz or whatever other ROM you are using has disabled it. But I don't know.

You are taking the long route to try and pull a log though.

Get Lumberjack from Google Play. Easy link. If you don't like that app, there are a billion more logcat apps that will pull the logs simply and easily.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
I haven't, but then I haven't tried to either.

On Google Play it says the app is only for the i9505 International variant of the S4.

It only works if you are rooted anyway, so since you are rooted make a nandroid backup and give it a try. I can't imagine there is anything 3minit could break that a nandroid restore wouldn't easily fix. It's not messing with firmware or anything.

So give it a shot! If it works let us know as I'm sure that would be really exciting information to the community! :good:

Dropbox problems

The phone came with a free 50 GB dropbox account. When using Titanium Backup Pro to sync to dropbox, the sync gets interrupted by server errors every few minutes. I have to restart the sync 7 or 8 times to get it to sync the complete backup to dropbox. Does anyone know the solution to this?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
You can get the phone to physically work on the t mobile network. And it will get data, but I don't think you can get full LTE. I think you can get fast speed, but not top speed.

There is a thread around here somewhere discussing exactly what you are trying to do. I can't seem to find it though. But I know its here!

One thing I'm certain of is that it is not as simple as just switching sims. You have to do some modding.

Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Do you get the same error on mobile data and WiFi?

Do you get these interruptions when using other apps that use the internet? Try streaming audio for 20 minutes and see if it glitches. If all your net use is smooth on other apps I'd think that neither drop box is having an issue or titanium has a flaw that prevents large data transfers.

You could also take your titanium backup files and manually transfer the directory to drop box and see if it goes smoothly that way. If it does, titanium is the problem.

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble putting CM10 on my T-Mobile Galaxy S4.

I'm following the tutorial on: wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_jfltetmo

And I have a question: I've gotten to the point where I have to enter

repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-10.1

followed by

repo sync

I've done that, but nothing happens. I'm running Lubuntu 13.04 if that helps. Any help is appreciated, thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
You are doing this the hard way.

Are you rooted with a recovery installed? If so just boot to recovery, do a full wipe, and flash the cm10.zip file. Once you have recovery installed the whole process takes no more than 5 minutes, and 4 of those minutes are waiting for the file to flash and then for the phone to boot the first time. There is less than 1 minute of actually button pressing you need to do.

If you aren't rooted with a recovery installed, do that first. Use Odin if you have a Windows PC or With does partition on your Linux machine (I always keep a 10GB windows partition on my laptop for just these kinds of reasons). When you add in the rooting with Odin process it ups the entire proceedure to 8 minutes instead of 5.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cgonz905:
No, I'm not rooted. I don't know how to. The only thing I've done is backup my phone. Is there a way I can do this from Linux? Or do I have to make a Windows partition?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Heimdall is an Odin replacement for Linux, but I do not know if it works with the GS4 yet. You would have to research that.

If you can make a windows partition, or quite frankly just use someone else's windows computer, this takes 5 minutes. And its non invasive to the windows machine if you borrow someone else's. You just need to show up with a USB cord and you will be done quickly.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1dtms:
I'm confused on bands / frequency.

I thought each technology had their own specific band. For example LTE would operate on it's own band and HSPA would operate on a separate unique band.

However, I'm looking at frequencies now and I'm seeing the multiple technology operating on the same band. I don't understand that.

In example I'm seeing something like this

3G capabilities = 850, 900 MHz, PCS, IMT ,UMTS / HSPA+

3G capabilities = 850, AWS (Band IV), 1900, 2100 MHz, UMTS / HSPA+ / DC-HSPA+

I don't get how 3G has different bands. Also looking at the above, are they saying HSPA+ does not have a frequency? or that those listed frequencies can support HSPA+?

i plan on rooting and flashing a 4.2.2 GPE rom by the weekend. right now i'm only waiting for my sd card to come...but anyways, i was just thinking how it'll be a short period of time before an official 4.3 rom will be released, with 5.0 a few months away as well. and ofc, i will be flashing those roms when they come out. this made me realize that i completely overlooked how to properly (re)store data. so, my question is: how do i save my contacts so that i can use them on a new rom, and is there anything else worth saving when making a switch between roms with different android versions (if so, how would that stuff be restored?)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lethalfang:
Generally speaking, when you root your android, how do you update your OS?

One more thing, if I want to install custom ROM, is there good online documentation for that? Any custom ROM to recommend? CyanogenMod seems pretty popular in the android community. Should I wait for the stable build and flash that if I want to do that?

:confused:

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gingson:
After rooting you will no longer get official OTA updates from your service provider. If you are on a custom rom, you will need to download an updated custom ROM based on the latest OTA (Over the Air) update or leaked update.

Search the forums, there are a lot information on how to root and how to install custom roms. Good Luck.

As for the stable build, I myself is still holding off on running custom roms. The S4 is still young, it is only approx. 4 months old.

CyanogenMod is an AOSP build, it is as close to Plain Google OS. No touchwiz no fancy Samsung stuff. It can be a little tricky for beginners and they are mostly not stable. Not sure if there is a stable build yet for S4.

Back up your contracts to Google servers by importing into the contacts apps then sync. Also, backup your call log and SMS to your gmail account using SMS back up app found in the play store.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Soldier 2.0:
You update your ROM using custom recovery and flash the new. Zip file. Cyanogenmod is very popular and even though they haven't released a"stable" version, it is stable enough to use as a daily driver.

After you flash CM, download an app called CyanDelta. Instead of downloading a large file everyday and flash it to get the latest changes, the app compares your current ROM with the newest available and it downloads and flashes only the updated files.

It will be like getting over the air updates to your firmware everyday with minimal interaction required on your part.

Not sure of lethalfang's experience is with custom roms , but CM nightlies are kind of unstable. CyanDelta is really suited for nightlies updates. I, myself, is not fond of CM nightlies. My few cents.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Um...no they aren't. Not for the T Mobile S4 at this point in their development anyway. There might be a glitch or two here and there, but the current night lies for the t mobile S4 are very very stable. I haven't had any random reboots or crashing in weeks running night lies.

Just because nightly builds can be unstable on some devices doesn't mean they are unstable on all devices.

I bought my GS4 for T-Mobile a month ago. Just today, I tried to work my front camera, however it wouldn't work despite resetting the phone and doing a factory reset. I called the customer service about the problem. Did some troubleshooting and determined that my phone should be replaced.

The problem is my phone has a small dent on the top of the chrome bezel. Considering the defect is the front camera, I don't know if the warranty is void just because of a dent if the inspector happens to notice it. I didn't even drop the phone either. If I returned the phone will T-Mobile still able to accept the return despite that small damage that has nothing to do with the front facing camera?:confused:

This question pertains to using Triangle Away.

I have a SGH-M919V variant of the Galaxy S4 and I was previously able to use Triangle Away v3.00. However, after the latest update I wasn't able to use it because it said the device wasn't supported (magic header not found).

So, I restored the original (old) firmware using odin and tried to use Triangle Away and it gives me the same error!

Does this have anything to do with my kernel and if it does shouldn't flashing the old stock firmware revert it to the old 1? Please suggest as to what I need to do in order to be able to use Triangle Away to reset the counter to 0.
