What recovery you use? I am sure you make a mistake, when you are in the recovery and reboot there comes a question like "if you will fix root", there you need press NO , not Yes , if you press yes you will lost root and recovery.

Flash root again with Odin ( superSu 1.65 ) , flash your recovery and make sure you press NO for root fix in the future.

GT-I9505 ~ SlimBean 4.3
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] wonsky21:
Ok, but should I manually format system between GE rom and SlimBean?

GT-I9505 | SlimBean 4.3 build 1
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jopejt:
Yes, do as instructed for SlimBean. While you're on GE, make sure not to forget to fire up the camera for the built-in firmware upgrade
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FlanjeUK:
I done as suggested and when I opened the camera app nothing updated and nothing changed now im back on slim, seemed to me to be a pointless exercise...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jopejt:
After I flashed this GE (VirginROM in my case), and launched the Camera app, I got a toast message saying "camera firmware is being updated, please be patient". After a minute or so, a new toast said "camera firmware updated".

Before this GE excursion, the camera always was causing me trouble: jerky video, green error lines in the images from the front camera, FCs, frozen camera app until cold boot of the phone and so on. It got even worse when going from SlimBean 4.2.2 build 8 to SlimBean 4.3 build 1, SB would be extremely slow, stuttering lock screen animation, jerky scrolling in every app, impossible lag in the launcher. I thought that some apps were not ready for 4.3, or that there was something wrong with the combination of my I9505 and SlimBean 4.3 build 1. (I have a simlock-free GT-i9505 (the only possibility in my country btw), bought in May).

But after this GE sidetrip, everything went smoothly in SB 4.3 b1 - the camera, UI, boot speed, lock screen, you name it.

I'm well aware that this will not work for lots of people because of the many different versions of the S4, and points in time that people bought the device resulting in different versions and editions of the several firmwares in the device.

So for all of you flashing this without results, I apologise if it doesn't work. Just thought that sharing my experience could be helpful for some users and maybe might ring a bell at a dev...

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] __Miguel_:
It depends. If your phone is the International I9505 (Qualcomm-based, LTE-enabled), then yes, this is the correct thread for the official SlimBean 4.3 thread.

I had no problem rooting mine with the AutoRoot kit. Granted, it was about a month ago, so there can be newer firmwares that make root more difficult, but I haven't read anything about it.

Also, congrats on getting an S4.

Hey guys I´m really happy that slim is now available for my new device.

I tried to install this yesterday but I had really big problems!

I was on a stock FW rooted with CF auto root. After that I installed Philz Touch (do I really need this?).

Before installation I perfomed a wipe (factory reset) and a format system.

But after the installation my phone went to the Samsung I9505 screen and after that the screen went black (no bootanim) and I saw a short red LED flash on my phone. After 5-10 minutes slim booted up. Every reboot results in the same behavior. My modem was also killed in this process.

So I´m back to stock for now.

Maybe someone has an idea what went wrong and could help me with this...

Any help is appreciated.

it is working, you are right, but when i start a gps session/app, the gps icons appears in the statusbar (for 3-4sec. and then it goes away. it comes back after some time. in this time, the gps works not correct. i have reported this some weeks ago for the beta release. this has nothing to do with the new "sensor" problem, something is still buggy with gps.

and the sensor was working (i think) in last releases.

I tested both those applications today, outdoors. With both applications, the photos looked as crappy as with the stock camera...

The Night Mode doesn't work on any of the apps. Camera Zoom FX, Focal... setting the Night Mode on has the same effect as on the stock AOSP Camera : it doesn't do ANYTHING. :/

Hell, the camera (with default settings) looked better on the Note 2 (running stock 4.1.2 TW)... :(

-----

I initially thought it has GOT to be kernel related, since, well, the kernel controls the camera, too (at least to some extent, I guess). Turns out I'm wrong. KT kernel, Faux123's kernel... no difference.

I'm thinking it is something related to the fact that this is no longer stock Samsung firmware...? If that is so, big finger flip @ Samsung, because even on the Galaxy Note 1 running whatever custom ROM you'd want, you'd still get better pictures.

Hey guys...

I have strange issue ... After trying to install firewall app and triangle away I suddenly realized that my phone is not rooted anymore... I'm on the best ROM ever (Slim) and I'm using official CWM Recovery so I don't dare using CF-Autoroot because it installs Stock recovery. Can anyone please tell me how to root phone with SlimROM and CWM preinstalled?

BTW. I think I messed up root when I tried to restore backup of stock rom that I made with CWM a while back ...

Thanks

Sorry if I'm in a wrong thread
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] __NBH__:
If you flash Slim Bean as normal then download an app from the play store called SGS4 flasher you can flash any custom recovery you want and go from there. Basically get your phone set up how you want then at the end flash the recovery you want.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AdoSA:
Will cf-autoroot work if I use it now and if so will I be able to boot to SlimROM so I can use that app to flash custom recovery?

If you are running Slim Bean then your phone should already be rooted? If it has lost root then try dirty flashing the rom again as per the instructions, format system, wipe cache and flash the rom and gapps.

I wouldn't use CF root on Slim Bean, not 100% sure but I thought CF root works for stock Samsung roms and doesn't have anything to do with roms based on CM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AdoSA:
EH... I rooted my phone using CF-Autoroot method, installed CWM and did Nand backup of stock ROM. After that I have tried to install SlimROM and CM but I had issues with booting and tried to restore stock Nand backup (witch, in all probability, unrooted my device).

That didnt work at all and I wasn't able to boot at all but in recovery. Then XDA members came to the rescue and told me that it is a Custom Recovery issue and that I should flash the original, or PhilZ, CWM and with that solved my device's booting issue. I must say that I didn't realize I have lost root status of my phone.

Today I've installed some new apps that require root access and to my surprise I could not use them because root was lost and I have tried some things as mentioned before ;)

Now I have solved the problem by using CF-Autoroot again and then flashing CWM with SGS4 Flash app and I didn't know if SlimROM will boot with stock recovery because I had issues with recoveries before (Slim, CM) as mentioned so I've made preparations for full wipe and flash of my device. Luckily it didn't come to that...
