Philz touch, twrp, cwm are examples of custom recoveries. If you still have the stock recovery, you need odin to flash a custom recovery. I don't know if mobile odin can flash a custom recovery.

Devices:

Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505

Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100

Motorola Droid Razr XT910

Apple iPhone 4
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
In order to be able to flash any custom recoveries you need Odin PC (it's a software for PC's that flashes .tar images on you phone- stock ROMS, Recoveries, Kernels and Modems usually come in .tar format. Also, custom recoveries and some custom kernels are available in that format as well in addition to .zip format...). Therefore you need to be in front of your computer with your USB ready to connect your phone... Only then, can we guide you step by step about what to do...

My friend [MENTION=4172983]chavxxx[/MENTION] people are reporting success using mobile odin but again its not working for me... I used to use it ALL THE TIME with Note 2, but its obsolete (for me) on the S4. There's another app that people were raving about... "SGS4 Flasher" which is supposed to flash Recoveries... Didnt work for me...

Hi

Can sombody test my link to downlad the Rom?

I got reports that they ask for a password. I didnt set any password

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] John_wba:
My vote goes for C) I prefer European rom as my phone is European. Lol.

Also the current version 16 is working great... If something isn't broke don't fix :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] speedyranger:
C.

No bootloader upgrade is needed, I'm on the oldest 4.2 bootloader and using v16 4.4.2 rom with zero issues.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Acer4605:
thanks for the mention my friend :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ra6o74:
Version 17 is amazing - so my answer is C!!!:good::fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Acer4605:
Well I heard you saying that it was to much of a problem working with non europeen bases I'd go for option C.

If you do want to make a new version choose the hongkong one I have the mega link + fixes for you :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
loool :D ;)

Thanks you guys ;) you are making it easy for me ;)

The thing is i really really dont want to mess with a non-European base again.... The reason i screwed up systemui for v17 and produced the big blue block?? B/c im an idiot!! I did make a mistake in status_bar.xml... If it was a regular base i would immediately think and realize that it was my mistake and remod it.. B.c it was a weird base i mistakenly assumed that it was a base problem and didnt even try to remod it... Its my fault obviously, but the fact that it wasnt a European base affected the way i reacted... I assumed it was the base's fault and didnt look at the possibility of error on my part...

Anyway, I gotz to admit after tomorrow late evening ill have some time on my hands and when i think i have time the next thought is: "Hmmm let's cook something" ;) However, i think most of seem to agree that if its not a new base (European with higher changelist) then its not worth updating...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] John_wba:
You are far from an idiot mate, call v17 a learning curve for you.... because your roms are always of the highest quality :thumbup:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
Me too... but he already is on a 4.3 with knox.. so is better if he now goes for a new one.. there is no point to have an old knox one ;) different thing if he has a no knox one..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
if the work involved changes for non-euro bases, wait for euro. that was something i'd not heard of before.

short of some amazing feature leaking (say, 4.4.3), stick with euro releases.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] John_wba:
You are correct mate :). I misread and thought he was on the old one. Lol.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:

Sorry if this has been asked or answered before but what are the choises in the Aroma loader for CS? or CU?(I think). I have not seen them before for US Rome. Thank you :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
thank you!! And thank you for returning to our thread :) I didnt mean to be an ahole my man :( I dont wanna give excuses though...

Loool :D

Maybe we'll have it as an aroma option... the thing is I bet you I cant reproduce it unless I go see the status_bar.xml ;) if I did it now I would not be able to achieve the amazing block with just guessing ;) you see greateness apparently only comes out of accidents ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
No it didnt require anything extra fixing bc it was a noneuropean base my man... thats not what I meant...

But I think we need to play it safe and stick with european bases... everytime (and for Note 3) my addiction got me to work on a non european base unfortunately I always had issues....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Alxoom33:
V. 17 ROCKS! What's a blue box between friends? It was fixed quickly;) #Can't Complain!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
hehehe ;)

go with the ZTO my man... you'll be fine imo with any one you choose... I recommend ZTO bc its the only one that doesnt have the customer.xml so you get the camera shortcut on the lockscreen...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
You probably mean CSC wich is related to cowntry.. but it doesn't actually make any difference. It usually contain some apps in stock firmware (different for version) but usually are removed in custom rom as are rubbish - like my-little-pony.apk or something like that :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
whats the point of those anyway? i swapped between them testing them out briefly, and couldnt see a single difference. why not leave the one default one that gives us the camera option?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
i think it was my fairlady.apk ;) :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
tbh i trully believe the csc obsession some ppl have also falls in the psychological realm ;)

but i think we will leave and maybe even expand the multi csc options for v18 but ill just remove the customer.xml from all of them...

Also one of the reasons they look the same (the only have 2 differences actually) is b.c feature and language.xml's in all csc folders are my modded ones (feature.xml for various mini mods and tweaks) and language.xml to have available all languages by default no matter what csc you use..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Thank you [MENTION=4401403]friedrich420[/MENTION]. I'll try ZTO. Not sure if I love your rom because it's awsome, best I ever tried, or because I love Pink Floyd. But thanks for the great work!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Hehe :)

Both reasons make me equally happy my man ;)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] CyBeRmAsTeRx:
I'm good with the c. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
I will also vote for C. But friedrich, in V18, please create this nice blue block in SystemUI. For me, it's the Echoeblock, a unique feature. :laugh::laugh::laugh:

I'm just kidding my friend.

And please, friedrich, don't call yourself an idiot again. Mistakes must be done to learn. See Acer's signature. :highfive:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
My wife also doesn't read here, so if yours will ask sometimes, you can say her, we are discussing about the boobs of speedwayfans wife.:laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Yeah.. that will help :p lol :D

Then she is gonna be "so you are discussing other womens boobs?? Who is she?? I wanna see pics?? I knew that it wasnt XDA but (XXX)DA" lol :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
OK, don't let she ever read here. It's to dangerous. I don't want to lose a friend. :laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Just to make sure everyone realizes that all those are jokes and i feel really lucky that im not with some ***** who doesnt understand me!!

Actually sometimes its her encouragement that makes me do more even though bc of this we also had some "rocky" times...

Bottom line though is i wouldnt have done any of these if i didnt have her full support and thats why my (i think best ever) gift to her was her own personalized Echoe Rom for the Note 2 ;) with some special special writings and dedications in the settings part ;) and of course the rest of Echoe awesomeness ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Are there some boot animations not in the OP ;)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] otcd:
Ok got it, thanx again for all. Is it possible to fix the systemUI again with the lock screen icon there? TX
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Acer4605:
I'd loose my wife if she starts to read everything here lol she will tell me keep the friend but you lost me.... and even telling her that I'm innocent will not cover it up.

I always tell her if a pretty lady walks on by and I get a slap at my bottom because I watch this gorgeous looking lady

I can look but don't touch or do you prefer that I don't look but touch her.........

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:

i just tried it also and it didnt turn off and it had a little different battery animation than 4,3 roms i think...

I just installed the latest version and I'm worried i've done something wrong as not only don't I have no wifi, I've also lost root privileges as well, it seems which I found out when I tried to use Titanium Backup.

Should I start all over again after installing the bootloader or should I just install the bootloader?

Hi, first thing, download the latest superuser zip file from chainfire and flash it in recovery. Then your root is back.

After that, download terminal emulator from playstore. In terminal Emulator type this:

su (hit enter)

getprop ro.bootloader (hit enter)

The result is a firmware version. It has to be NAD. If it is not NAD you have to flash the bootloader again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] shadeofgrey:
I cannot get the driver's for viper4audio to install on v17. I get an error message saying the the install failed as soon as I choose which type of drivers I want. I have the new bootloader and the newest modem that was available at the release of v17.

Edit: nb2 modem
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
The phone switching back on during charge is a known issue when on the old bootloader, no matter which ROM you are on (TW/GE etc)

With the new bootloader, the phone will charge whilst switched off.

I downloaded Superuser via the Play store but it didn't gain root access for some odd reason.

If that´s done, here is my Guide to flash a Bootloader in Odin, for the case you need it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2670326

:o
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] borgmanjayce:
speedwayfan75, I took your new advice and it's fixed the problem. It turns out that when I first flashed the bootloader, I went into download mode via the phone instead of switching the phone off itself.

Also, I take it that I need the new bootloader once it's been installed should fix my problem with the wifi not being able to be switched on and I should do a clean wipe and reinstall the ROM again now that the new modem and bootloader have been installed properly?

On another note, I'd like to say a very big "Thank You" for being patient and answering all my questions especially as I'm only coming back to EchoeROM after using Foxhound which isn't too bad in its own right, but I'm willing to give EchoeROM a second chance after the problems I had with it in the past when it came to apps that were installed on my microSD card.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
So the bootloader wasn't flashed correct. I suggest to use Odin 3.09. With this version I've never had any problems. Wifi should work if bootloader is NAD and baseband (modem) is NB2. Or you can flash a custom kernel like KT or Adam.

EDIT: Saw your Edit to late.:) so everything works now? That's fine my friend.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] borgmanjayce:
It's probably the theme app I'm using ("Themer"), but it's running really slowly now and when I press the power button, it doesn't switch on properly, so I'll probably do a clean wipe and reinstall again and instead of using Themer, reinstall my Atom Launcher with Girls' Generation theme. :smile:

EDIT: Almost forgot to mention that I installed the latest theme as well.

EDIT 2: What kernel would you recommend that I use when reinstalling the ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
I´m on Adam Kernel for now. Here it is for recovery flashing:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/j2twx723izz2apa/[romcook.com]_GT-I9505_Adam.Kernel.2.1.CWM.zip

Or, if you make a clean ROM install again, you can use KT out of the Aroma installer. Now, you are on the new Bootloader, you can use any Kernel, all are working good. KT is the most tweakable of all. Just try a little bit to find out what´s the best for you.:cyclops:

And when you want to use Themes or other launchers, make sure before that it´s KitKat compatible

Hello Speedwayfan75,

I always read all the techy bits in this forum with amazement. Lot, LOT to learn from others. Thank you for all the help.

I used terminal and I did see my BL is NB9. Does this mean I need to change for NAD?

My modem is MBE which is fine I guess. I have no problems with WiFi etc

Sometimes all the abbreviations are confusing when you're a noob.

Thank you 10neke
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
Hi, if everything is working correct, you don´t need to change your Bootloader. Are you running V17?

You can belive me, i´m sometimes confused too.:) All the different Bootloaders, modems ect. Sometimes i tell people "you must flash this in Odin, and that in recovery..." And then i have to look in my own phone to see on what modem or bootloader i am now cause i´ve forgotton.:)
