If anybody has had bootlooping issues when flashing a rom, check out my guide in the general section.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AJordanWise:
Just wondering, has anyone successfully dirty flashed from 6.0 to 7.0?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
I Highly doubt it :eek:

You can try it. See how it goes.

But if you have issues,

Have that Nandroid ready.

Many changes from 6.0-7.0

Including 3Minit Framework changes, Aroma, etc., etc.

Full wipes Very Recommended.

You'll save more time if you take the time to Full Wipe, as compared to the most likely issues you'll have by dirty flashing. Some issues may be immediate, and some delayed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
I wouldn't bother... High chances you'll have some type of problem. Especially considering 3minit framework.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DevilDaHusky:
Love the new update but the calendar widgit is missing. The app is working but there's no widgit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Was that a widget option in Aroma?

I forget as there are quite a few.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DevilDaHusky:
I dont remember seeing it. I definitely would have selected it if it was there. I selected a bunch of them like the clock and Samsung related ones as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AJordanWise:
I figured. I saw all the issues you had even when you were doing full wipes. :p

I was just wondering if anyone had managed to do it since I know some phones handle things differently as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DevilDaHusky:
I was having the same issue after installation as well. I did an odin restore of MDL, let it boot once, wipe in Aroma, then did the install, and it worked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Funny guy :laugh:

Aroma works differently in different ROMs, depending how its constructed? by the Developers

For instance, Aroma Full Wipe in SynergyROM on my S3 wiped everything including Internal.

But not to worry with Aroma in Alpha as it doesn't wipe internal.

And etc.

Wipe as per previous posts and you'll be fine.

Actually the 3rd Wipe in Aroma went differently than in the first 2, as it didn't hang on 0.60% and I could see all the wipe processes going on at the beginning of the Aroma Full Wipe, so I'm not certain whether the Wipes in Recovery prior to the Aroma wipe was the difference or coincidental to the successful flash on the 3rd attempt. I'm not certain of the technical aspects of the Aroma Full Wipe regarding whether the Aroma wipe is dependent on the Recovery Wipe.

I flashed my Nandroid when the splash screen froze, then began the flash process again.

Just curious if you had a Nandroid which didn't solve the issue, or whether you didn't have a Nandroid?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DevilDaHusky:
I did the odin MDL restore.

Let it boot once.

Then I did an odin install of TWRP 2.5.0.2.

Then installed Alpha from MicroSD
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
For clarification, you mentioned you had the same issues after installation of Alpha, I presume.

You then installed Firmware MDL with ODIN.

I was curious if you had a Nandroid backup which you could have flashed after you were having issues.

If you didn't have a Nandroid backup, or it didn't resolve your issues, then you would have had to use ODIN to install the stock Firmware which you did. Just curious.

Btw, I also use TWRP 2.5.0.2 for months without any issues :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DevilDaHusky:
Oh I see what you mean. The issue I was having was after installing Alpha the phone would hang on the boot screen. I tired wiping a hundred times but the end result was the same. Then I figured maybe I erased or messed up a partition by accident so I did the full odin restore. After that I figured the boot partition might have been what was messed up since the odin file fixes all that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
I understand that part.

Let me ask you this.

Did you have a Nandroid backup?

This is a backup done in a Custom Recovery, from which in most circumstances you can restore your device to a working state or condition it was in prior to the current non operative state, such as freezing, boot loops, etc. Which may have been encountered after flashing ROMs, Kernels, etc.

(these are my words so I apologize for any confusion;))

For example, I incurred a freeze for 25 minutes and pulled the battery, went into Recovery and did a wipe of cache and dalvik cache which didn't resolve the issue.

I had a Nandroid backup of Alpha S4 6.0 which I had flashed earlier in the day.

So, I booted into Recovery, wiped cache and dalvik cache and did a Restore of the Nandroid, which brought my phone back to where it was prior to having the issues I had.

The Nandroid backs up everything on your device.

If I didn't have a Nandroid, or it failed to restores my device and it continually froze, I wouldd hav had to ODIN Samsung Stock Firmware and start again.

Here is a quick definition of Nandroid:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Nandroid

If you already knew all of the above, sorry for the lengthy post.

But may help others to understand the importance of the Nandroid and what it can do to help get one out of a bind :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DevilDaHusky:
Oh my bad for misunderstanding. I was coming from Infamous RoM so installing Alpha I had to wipe everything. I have a TWRP backup of Infamous and the stock rom just in case but I decided the odin restore would be best to save time in troubleshooting. Besides that I only backed up the system and data partitions so odin was the only way for me to go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Ok, I gotcha, I think :)

Btw, there are times when the Nandroid won't resolve the issue for whatever reasons, and ODINing to Stock is the only cure.

As is said, it takes a lot to Hard Brick our S4, and usually the bricks are soft.

So if you're able to boot into download/ODIN mode and/or Recovery mode, you will usually always have a good resolution.

I see about the saving time thing in case other issues were encountered.

In addition, starting with a fresh slate is sometimes best :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DevilDaHusky:
Yessirrr!

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

Btw. I installed Google calendar and now using that widget instead. Odd the stock cal is missing the widget.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TJSteveMX:
I always have this for reference, it's old but effective:

First off if you're on ANY recovery that isn't CWM 5.0.2.7 you DO NOT NEED TDJS SUPER WIPE OR CACHE WIPE SCRIPTS!!!! Seriously stop flashing these people you're filling up threads with problems caused by both of these scripts and bad flashing methods. Here's how to PROPERLY flash a ROM..

If on CWM 6.0.x.x

1. Wipe factory data/reset

2. Wipe cache

3. Go into mounts and storage

4. Format /system

5. Format /data

6. Format /cache

7. Enter advanced

8. Wipe dalvik

9. Flash ROM then gapps

10. Reboot and let the ROM settle for 5-10 minutes if flashing TW ROMs, this step is unnecessary for AOSP based ROMs.

11. (Optional) if flashing a new radio flash AFTER the ROM has been initially booted for the first time. No wipes are necessary when flashing a new radio but it HAS to be flashed after the ROM is loaded and settled in. Flashing a radio first and then a ROM has caused issues like the phone not even recognizing there is a network for it. ( phone remains in emergency mode )

If you're on a Cyanogenmod nightly a full wipe IS NOT REQUIRED. The proper method of dirty flashing is just wiping cache, ( NOT FORMAT CACHE IN MOUNTS & STORAGE )

wiping dalvik and flashing your ROM. Simple as that.

If using TWRP 2.2+ the steps are essentially the same or use TDJs wipe scripts. They work perfectly fine with TWRP. Feel free to wipe 2x or even 3x if it makes you feel safer about your installation.

And THAT'S IT. People are cluttering up threads with issues than can totally be avoided by flashing the right way. I hope this helps some of you iron out these insane tiny quirks I keep reading about.

Happy flashing folks.

And [MENTION=1310396]Biker1[/MENTION] do you have a life?

Lol!!!

Honestly dude.... Thanks for all your time, Jamison904 probably loves to have someone like you on he's threads, that way he can focus on other stuffs and don't forget minor details.

I never needed to go back to stock via Odin or things like that but, sometimes people like to take risks on flashing things right?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mebborne:
For anybody whose camera keeps trying to update the firmware without success, cwalker0906 above is right, flashing the stock kernel will let the firmware update. Then you can flash whatever kernel you want.

Jamison, is there anything you can do so that this doesn't have to be done? Perhaps, for the time being, just include the stock kernel in the ROM and a clear link in the OP to your kernel with instructions to flash it afterwards?

Enjoying the ROM!

Is there anything else that I will be missing?

Why are there so many versions?

What is your guys suggest?

What do you guys like better?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
This ROM is base off the 4.3 international ROM. Infamous V4 is base off T-mobile's 4,2 ROM.(T-mobile hasn't released their version of 4.3 yet) Since it's not a Tmo ROM yes you will loose WiFi calling. There are update to 4.3 such as App2sd and probably some other goodies.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pham0100:
You mean 4.2.2 International? This isn't 4.3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rizoh66:
There are so many versions because the infamous crew needs to update the rom for compatibility with the 3minit settings. When the dev for 3minit updates his app, they update their rom. The tmo version is stuck in the dark ages.

Imho, v7 is the slickest rom out there by far. Oh, and I highly suggest going with the stock bioshock kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] razorj7:
So I really LOVE this rom SO MUCH, it's amazing!

However, I really require wifi calling and I know it doesn't work with this rom because of the build and what-not. Does anyone know of a replacement? One that doesn't require me to change my number? I realize the chances are slim to none, but any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

-Jesse
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tunasty:
There is no other way. You can ONLY get Wi-Fi calling with Tmobile firmware. Infamous roms will also get these amazing updates as soon as Tmobile gets off their ass and pushes the new firmware update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] j_shelton1988:
I experienced something strange with this rom. I flashed it, let it settle, and after all was said and done I started customizing it in 3minit, mostly just changing the colors scheme. After I set up everything the way I like I had to restart the phone for certain features to work and when I did, the phone would boot to the Sammy gs4 screen and then go black. The rom wouldn't boot any further. I checked to make sure the phone didn't power off or anything, went back into recovery and wiped cache and dalvik but still had the same issue. Has this happened to anyone else?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nemesisgx:
Yes and no .. if you dont want to use nova and stick with touchwiz just go back to the first page and do the 360DPI zips it makes everything go back in place. And stays the same DPI I my self like the touchwiz. And I wish that Mr jamison would fix the problem with resizing and all that. But im cool..

I know there is an app called "app settings" for xposed that will allow you to change the DPI of any given app on your phone. Use that and change the DPI of the launcher (and/or your phone for the dialpad, because that was like that too on mine in the past) but that should fix it..

Use the stock 2.0 Kernel. Not sure what kernel your on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] saflang:
What I've found out is that Live Widget's are bad, they won't let your phone deep sleep. Whether it is HD Widgets or Beautiful Widgets (you know, all those pretty weather widgets) my phone would periodically awake up but under battery use it would say "Google Services" was the culprit. I'm running Aqua Mail (with 5 accounts), Whatsapp, and Facebook and if I leave my phone unattended my battery use is still less than 2% per hour. That would work out to be close to 50 hours of battery life. With the screen on I use 14%-17% per hour, good for say 5-6 hours. So 3 hours of screen use would still give me about 30 hours !!!
