[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I've flashed the recent 2.8.7.0 TWRP recovery, and now I'm stuck on it, as touching on anything in the recovery doesn't do anything (it ignores touches), and I can't reboot to the OS itself.

How come?

How can I fix this?

I've tried going to the download-mode, and then exit it, but it keeps going to the TWRP recovery instead.

And, I've tried to flash an old version of TWRP and Philz, via Oding, but it keeps going to "SetupConnection" phase and so doesn't do anything.

EDIT: after multiple tries, I've succeeded flashing Philz recovery.

Please fix the issues on the new version of TWRP, because it's useless without the ability to do anything...

Try to update your bootloader version to the latest. Many users report this bug and most of them have old bootloader version.

Sent from my Galaxy S4
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Sorry for that, but can you please tell how do I do that? And how can I know that it needs an update?

I've actually never did such a thing on previous devices, and I've updated TWRP (and other recoveries) just fine without even knowing how to update the bootloader (or maybe something else did it for me without me knowing about it).

Why does TWRP require this update anyway? And why does it affect how touch is handled?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] zozoz13:
1. Download bootloader file (Can't give you the file for now. Later i'll give). Reboot to download mode and connect to PC. Flash the file through Odin in AP or BL column.

2. Update it if you faced any issue that not related to the ROM or Kernel. In this case, you were faced issue with Recovery.

3. There's a reason that i don't know exactly, but upgrading bootloader will (most likely) solve that issue. A few users have done it and it works for them.

Updating after adopting external storage

Using CM13.0 with my external SDcard as adopted internal storage, can anyone tell me where I need to drop the update zipfile in order for TWRP to see it now.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Yamaha169:
clarify better

So just to make sure you understand... G928A has a locked bootloader, to gain root requires a flashed boot.img (custom kernel)

So say I was to flash CWM recovery or TWRP ... leaving the OE system alone is the goal...

How would I go about rooting afterwards?

Wouldn't download mode automatically flash to the OE recovery ?

The goal would be to flash the modified autoroot (boot.img) to the (sideloaded) rom...

Or does a pre-rooted rom exist already for this device?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] bhuvan9111:
I dont know what you guys are talking but i think i can help you if you can explain your problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Yamaha169:
Full root does not yet exist for G928A ... even the autoroot from samfirm doesn't give root access ... all it does is provide ADB root access. And even then ... you can't use SU commands to install root remotely, because a SU binary doesn't get installed. If a SU BINARY does get installed... the phone finds the altered system... and either bootloops, or else reverts on its own.

There is a way to gain full root access... but it's a 2 part procedure. (Flash custom kernel, re-root with kingoroot)

Then you can not reboot

So alternatively I'm looking for something similar to the old Safestrap method.

Sideload a custom rom... and run the phone that way with root.

Ideas???
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] bhuvan9111:
I didnt find any way so far for your at&t galaxy s6 edge +, i wonder why all the other carrier locked phones have the root method except at&t.

If it is not yet out even now. Then it might not be out at all. I think you should be asking this question in your device specific forum and not in i9500 twrp forum so that you will get your answers from the developers of that specific device. Thanks.
