[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wendemixda:
I just rooted my GS4 and installed CWM recovery during the process. I want to flash a custom Rom but I want to make sure of some things first.

1.How do I reboot into recovery since the stock rom doesn't have the option in the power menu?

2.Will I be able to make a nandroid backup of the stock rom and restore it if I need it?

Also, I was wondering if CWM and TWRP are the only recovery mods that work with the GS4? I was using and liking Amon Ra with the HTC rezound. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Addiso:
1. Pull battery or shut the phone off, when powering on hold power+volume up+home simultaneously until you see blue lettering on the top left.

2. Yes you will.

And no only loki-patched recoveries that work or pertain to this phone. There's an aroma with all the recoveries available in the android development.

If I looked for a flagship smartphone I would consider Xperia Z. It's Full HD and waterproof. Lumia 1020 is another excellent option.

I had a rezound before the one I own now and it was put on the unlimited web Verizon 3g prepaid, using a donor phone from Walmart. Can anyone do this for me or guide me through it? It would be greatly appreciated. I went to Page Plus and only get 1x and can't send mms. It's just annoying, I want to go back to how I had it before. The cops seized my last phone and I bought it off craigslist like that.

Please email me milocraft2@gmail.com

Pretty sure the only way to do this is with a donor phone, similar to how it is done to put a Rezound on StraightTalk using Verizon Towers, it is essentially ESN cloning which is illegal though. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975953

Phone stuck on "Samsung - Custom" screen after creating TWRP backup. Help please?

I have an ATT S4, that has had CM 10.1 on it running flawlessly pretty much since nightlies started to get released. Decided to try going back to some TW based ROMs. Running the latest nightly, loaded up TWRP, created a backup, as I usually do before swapping roms. Created the backup fine, now it won't boot, it just sits at the Samsung screen with the lock and Custom message. Wiped cache\dalvic, even tried restoring from the backup I just created. Nothing. Tried it with the phone plugged into the computer and without being plugged in (I think I recall it being plugged into USB could cause issues in the past), and still nada. Tried pulling the battery and rebooting about 10 times. Can get into recovery and odin mode perfectly fine still. Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
There are no less than a dozen similar threads about similar problems already. Have you looked at those threads for a possible solution yet? You can find them by using the search function or better yet just doing a visual search of the first few pages of the "General" and "Q&A" sections. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Tylorw1:
Sounds like a ROM and kernel issue. Try flashing a ROM with a loki'd kernel.

Tylorw1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Simonzi:
I don't see how that could be the case. I didn't flash anything. I just loaded TWRP, created a backup, and rebooted my phone. No ROM\kernel change. Nothing more than creating a backup in TWRP.

I tried searching, the closest one I could find on the first few pages was this one. I just didn't see any specific to my situation because nothing was flashed. Like my response to Tylorw1, all I did was boot into recovery, create a backup, and reboot my phone. Didn't flash a ROM, change a kernel, format anything, etc...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] STVERDI:
I has this same problem... It happened after every single reboot after flashing various ROMs or anything.. I gave up and went back to CWM and haven't had the problem since :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Simonzi:
I've wanted to go back to CWM. That's what I had on my S3. Only thing stopping me, is all my nandroid backups for my S4 are done with TWRP, and I don't want to run into a situation where I need them, and them not being compatible :(

Nope, still on 2.5.0.2. Finally, after a third complete wipe/format and restore from the back I had created (the one that started the whole issue), it works fine. Such a huge pain in the ass.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xBeerdroiDx:
a user had to boot back into twrp and wipe data/factory reset yesterday to fix this issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Simonzi:
And you have to be ****ing kidding me. I rebooted into recovery while typing my initial response, just to verify I was still on the 2.5.x.x TWRP. Booted up TWRP, verified that, choose "Reboot System", and same thing. Back to sitting at the Samsung screen. Nandroid backups or not, ditching TWRP as soon as I get it able to boot back up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Simonzi:
Even worse off now than when I started. After my last post, where my phone was doing the same "stuck on Samsung logo" thing, just from booting into TWRP, I decided to swap to a different recovery. Searched for "switch from TWRP to CWM", and found my own post I had made a few months ago, but never went through.

Following those instructions now, I decided on the PhilZ CWM. Head over to that thread, grab the loki'd zip, load up TWRP, and flash the zip. Now I can't even boot into recovery!! It just freezes on the Samsung screen with the blue "recovery booting" text.

Can still get into download mode, so I tried using ODIN to flash PhilZ jflteatt.tar.md5 file, and it fails.

At this point, waiting for the stock 1.6 firmware package to download, so I can just ODIN that.

If anyone has any other suggestions though, they'd be great. Have an hour to try while waiting for that to download :(

Make sure you get the correct firmware? Go to SamMobile and get the stock firmware from there or go to Adam Outlers "Stock firmware ODIN" thread in the General section (the AMDL firmware link is in that thread you just have to look for it).

I would like to report I had the same problem.

After changing roms and making a nandroid, and then deciding to switch roms again, I ran into the stuck at Samsung Custom with a lock boot screen. Most roms would boot up once, but a restart or power down would lead to being stuck. I was flashing through TWRP.

I went into TWRP and flashed OUDHS recovery which overrode TWRP and wiped/flashed through OUDHS a new rom.

Problem solved.

If you have a nandroid of close to where you are now do what the ax says. Sooner or later you're going to need recovery. If you can't find an odin twrp, Odin stock, root and get goo manager and put twrp on, and then use your nandroid.

Make your Xposed Framework Persist also.

After some continued research and testing I have found this work around for having to reinstall Xposed and do a reboot after a ROM update.

I asked Rovo89 the developer of Xposed Framework and got this answer.

The Source info and Script are first here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43112783&postcount=1911 (Go there and give him thanks)

And also here.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43473060&postcount=2043 (Go there and give him thanks)

I put Fiouz's script in file "90-xposedpersist.sh" and put the file in /system/addon.d/ in the Nook. If your tablet has this directory it should work.

The file is attached in the OP (in the 90-xposedpersist.zip),

I tried it for a few weeks and regular nightly ROM updates and works great on Nook Color CM 10.2 & 11 in EMMC. Should work on any CM 9, 10 or 11. Great time saver for nightly update addicts.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Mr.BungIe:
I am running CM11 on my NC and have attempted the Xposed Netflix workaround with the updated frameworks (updated apk) from this thread. I managed to get Xposed and my frameworks updated, (I also needed to update binaries using SuperSU) but now Netflix is crashing. If I unload the Netflix module, Netflix will run but I have the small playback window surrounded by visual "noise."

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any advise you can offer?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] granny smith:
Unfortunately, I cannot provide any advice, but I wanted to add that I get the same thing in CM 10.2 on nightly 12/31. Netflix runs, but I too have the small playback window surrounded by visual noise. So it is not unique to CM11.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pastordl:
In the OP under: Problem with Netflix App Ver 3.1.0+?

If you have problems with updating to version 3.1.0, in app manager delete all data for Netflix then open Netflix and reenter user id and password. Then reboot the tablet. When you enter Netflix again everything should work fine.

Something about the update from prior to 3.1.0 to 3.1.0 or later does this. I had this problem and took the above steps and every thing worked fine in 10.2. Have not yet tried it in CM 11 myself. Since clearing the netflix data cures the problem it doesn't seem to be the framework or the work around. It is the reason I put the :Problem with Netflix App Ver 3.1.0+?" info in the OP.

Edit: Finally got CM11 running. Had to use option#2 in the OP, Liquid64's NetflixHackPersist.zip available in the OP. It works fine and persists past Rom updates to boot.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Little-Boy-Lost:

Edit: Problem resolved in 2-10 Nightly and use Liquid64's script.

Be sure to clear the Netflix data in system / apps. You may need to reboot also after clearing the data. I have not tried with the framework module since i don't like the white background.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Cor-master:
Sure no problem it's a Nook Color model number bnrv200 and here is the ROM version
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bowguy:
Netflix on CM11 on SD

Confirming that the latest Netflix is working on an SD install. Copy NetflixHackPersist.zip to the root directory of the SD and rename it to cm-update.zip. Install the card and boot to Leapinlar's recovery to install to the card. Reboot and good to go.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] deboyz1014:
Must have missed a step somewhere

1. Install CM11 Nightlies on Nook Color

2. Install Netflix

3. Install Xposed Hack > Update > Reboot

4. Install Mod netflix apk module

5. Enable Module within Xposed

6. Reboot

7. Run Netflix > FC

Wiped data on Netflix and reboot, still same issue. I've also tried with Netflix being installed after module is enabled and still same thing. Anyone else running into similar issue or is it just issue with nightlies?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bowguy:
Use liquid64 method, not Xposed. See OP and pastordl's post above. It does work.

Netflix updates itself (not for the better)

I tried Netflix 2.0.2 on my Nook Color. It has a nasty habit of updating itself to version 3.2.1 -- and the latter is the version where I've experienced shrunken video playback (in the upper-left 1/4 of the screen, while the other 3/4 of the screen is green). Update: after installing Liquid64's NetflixHackPersist.zip, version 3.2.1 behaves great -- no more mostly-green screen!

Does anyone know how to prevent Netflix from updating itself?

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

Thanks for compiling this info. I'm about to try the Liquid64 method. If it works, it will be the attainment of what my wife considers to be something of a Holy Grail (getting Netflix to work reliably on the Nook Color, which we just haven't been able to do after about a year of various attempts).

Version 1.8.1 wasn't all it's cracked up to be on my Nook Color. Video plays fine for the first 5 seconds (when it's about 95% of full-screen, and partially covered by a progress bar and volume control). Then the progress bar/volume control disappears, and the video goes truly full-screen, and it becomes extremely jittery or jumpy. (Unwatchably so.) Has anyone else experienced that? Update: Liquid64's NetflixHackPersist.zip even improves the behavior of version 1.8.1 -- no more jittery video!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pastordl:
That is why the big red type, if using CM11, must use option #2. With option #2 the updates are not an issue and work fine.

I applied the Liquid64's fix on the HP Touchpad running Milaq's CM11 Previously I had a spinning wheel when trying to load videos. Now with the fix applied I have nice quality Netflix Videos!

How rootable will the lg g2 be and will devs make roms for it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
The LG G2 is a pretty highly anticipated device as a result it will definitely have developers making ROMs for it. If the original Optimus G is anything to go on the rooting procedure will be straightforward and simple. The main thing that will effect development for the device is if it ships with a locked bootloader, and if it does is the bootloader easily unlock-able (This will likely be carrier dependent). If the device does have a locked bootloader and is not officially unlock-able through LG then workarounds will have to be developed, or the bootloader will have to be cracked. Overall, the LG G2 should have good development support and rootability.
