ok if your still in soft boot what you need to do is:

install odin (just down chainfires auto root files and extract them)

download philz recovery tar file

download mode

flash the file under the pda option (your pc may auto select the chainfire tar so make sure to change it to philz)

wait....

once odin has *passed* and finished try booting to recovery

***** you should now have a custom recovery again

go to the wipe menu in recovery and perform the *new rom* wipe.....

now try flashing a rom.

dice??

Note - something must get corrupted along the way and hence why you need to use the new rom wipe option so that everything reformatted (your media does not get touched)

@ the op......it seems theres a few issues on install for this rom for different variants.

i know its not everyone but at the fear of being lambasted and flamed, can i suggest pulling the build(s) just as a precaution for now?

i followed the op to the letter and as much as i was ****ting my pants i knew i could get back up and running by hook or by crook...... others may not be so sure about trying different methods to recover their handset and could properly brick.

Only for your consideration.

thanks :good:

Does anyone here encounter the "Unable to play during call" error? After a call has been ended, then when i try to play any videos from facebook, instagram or my own gallery.. I cannot play it anymore.. It keeps prompting, "Unable to play during call".. then what I'll do is to restart the phone.. But are there any possible solutions? I hate to restart my phone every time a call has been ended... :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jaythenut:
So are you up and running on this rom , strange a lot of people having problems installing, but I had to go through aroma twice and all was done
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] scottyf79:
sadly no. i tried a couple time but each time it bottomed out at "wiping cache".

i performed a full wipe and tried reinstallin a rom i had used before that i knew worked and still had saved. It flashed far to quickly and i ended up stuck on the black sami boot screen. Couldnt switch the phone off etc. When you enter download mode it auto installs stock recovery again, hence why you need to reflash a custom recovery to get some joy. Philz worked first time with the new rom option so thats why i suggested it.

(i tried Jellybam inbetween times - yeah i know - dont shoot me and it got to starting apps but then froze and switched off so i knew there wasnt much wrong)

Im not complaining btw - fully aware of the risks, i seen the issues on the experia build also so summits defo not quite right yet.

could simply be a case of formatting the system before flashing (yes i did before im asked) or something like that (also if you get stuck)......but im not going back to find out lol
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jaythenut:
Shame it's a really good rom, you could try formating internal sd
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] scottyf79:
i may well do now i know how to get working again.

bed time though - my tiredness didnt help the situation (nightshift) so excuse my blind panic :p

thanks for responding - over and out

I cant seem to get video calling to work. Anyone any idea on it?

thxs m8 it work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tinasintunes:
Dunno if this will help or not (I'm also on UK S4). I use TWRP recovery, and have found previously that sometimes i have to manually mount system, cache etc to flash a rom. Also anytime i get stuck at the black and white sammy logo its usually a sign that the kernel i'm trying to flash isn't compatible. Once i change the kernel all is good. I tend to stick with KTKernel.

Just a couple of suggestions. Hope they might help.

I haven't tried this rom yet but i'm downloading it now.

New update is now up!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jcurran.jc:
Just wondering if you managed to find out why ppl are getting installation problems.

Is this fixed in v7
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tinasintunes:
For what it's worth I had a couple of failed installations with this rom. But it clearly told me what the problem was during the installation. In my case it said it was unable to extract the kernel from the rom to install it. So I simply didn't select that option next time and installed the kernel manually afterwards. When it crashed during wiping I selected it not to wipe during installation. As I had already wiped completely I didn't think it would be a problem. So I got the rom installed. By just looking at what was happening and when the crashes were occurring.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] jovy23:
Which was the kernel that you picked? Also when the rom installs press on "Save Log" and once you can get into your internal storage just post the .log file here so i can see what is causing these problems.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Tinasintunes:
I picked the ktkernel. I'll save the log for u tomorrow. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] scottyf79:
Im sure I done the same thing and selected to wipe and kt kernel.

I got to "cleaning cache" on the Aroma screen before it borked.

Omega users having a similar issue.....any way it could be something in Aroma?

If I feel brave enough I might try to replicate it but fingers crossed you manage to figure it out. Really want to try this rom grrr.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] noscentsbrad:
This is a great ROM!! No random reboots and hardly no lag!! Thank you very much Dev :) everything running smoothly and LOVE the white them contacts!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tomorio:
Well. I've decided to do an old ROM revival. Not sure why other than a lot of new ones now seem to be purely s5 based and very similar.

So for fun I installed this one last night. And you know what ... Its still great haha. No issues, looks great, awesome wallpaper selection, great choice of aroma options.

Cheers :)

How I've missed 4.3 lol
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] UniqueFreak:
I agree......don't like the S5 look myself and think some of these older roms deserve a reflash
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tomorio:
Definitely. I mean a lot of the ones I also looked at have invalid links for downloads and such. But this one grabbed me, and its one of the very few that I hadn't tried before. Glad I have now lol.

P.s. I can confirm this ROM is actually the best one I've used since having my s4 haha. Seriously. 1 year old and easily the best looking and performing rom I've used.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Parkourkid93:
Quick question, will this work pm the Sprint Galaxy S4?, I know it said multi-carrier, but I still want to double check
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HipKat:
I wish it was updated, still. 1 year old is, well, old
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tomorio:
The beauty in it is that it isn't updated mate. I used it for a few weeks and will more than likely go back to it. Just trying something new now.

It was faultless. Looked great. Great performance. Sometimes older versions are best. :) an update would probably kill it lol .... Possibly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davidpartay:
Thank you!

I was having problems with Kitkat ROMS, and after doing much digging for a good 4.3 or 4.2.2 ROM with download links that still works, yours was the winner. And not only that, it's a fantastic ROM with the bits that Samsung did right still available, it's been stable for 24 hours, fast, and best of all it doesn't have the terrible Kitkat dialer app!

So thank you indeed!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Gloris:
is it possible to go to an old rom base like this even if you've updated the device? I though that once you'd updated the bootloader you couldn't go back to and older version of android. e.g. if you're using latest nk4 bootloader, you must be on a kitkat rom? have i totally misunderstood this? because I've always wondered about going back to the very first official firmware, it was rock solid, I only ever went custom to try something new...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davidpartay:
I was unsuccessful at installing the only 4.2.2 ROM that I could find, but this one installed just fine.

I have a feeling that it's a problem going back to 4.2.2 when you've had 4.3 on there. I know there's a thread somewhere about doing it, but I didn't care enough to try. 4.3 was quite good as far as I'm concerned, so I was happy with this one as it just works.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] saqibniaz:
I was getting the same error "Unable to play during call".

I checked Hangouts was in call. By killing Hangouts, problem resolved. I turned off Hangouts.

Next day same thing happened again, i started killing apps, this time upon killing Facebook Messenger problem resolved.

It has something to do with messengers apps

Hit Thanks!, if it helps

does this ROM have good support for WiFi tethering (hotspot) and especially when the greedy network providers try and block us from creating wifi hotspots to use our data which we should be able to use as we like ?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midnightmaraude:
Hi guys. I'm trying to put a new rom on this phone here. One rom said it loaded (way too quickly) and my phone just kept going back to the recovery screen. Another rom meanbean would get to installing /system... and resets to the Android system recovery screen and when I reboot it's still the previous rom synergy on there.

My hboot is 0.93 , radio 2.15.00.11.19

I don't understand what is not going right here. Any guidance please?

TIA
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hb17:
Did you wipe the system before installing the new rom. I usually flash superwipe before flashing any new rom then go back and flash the new rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
Part of your problem is that you flashed a ROM for the EVO LTE. The HTC EVO 4G & HTC EVO 4G LTE are not the same phone, and their respective ROMs are not interchangeable with one another. Go through the Development forums for this device and find a ROM and flash it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StolenStatus:
I tried installing ElementalX kernel on my HTC One M7 AT&T. I flashed the kernel with TWRP and now when I try to boot my phone up it freezes at the loading screen with red text at the bottom saying "This build is for development purposes only Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may load to legal action." I've tried hard resetting it, messing around in the bootloader, etc. I have not found a solution, maybe one of you can.

Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgtiii:
How much did you over lock and/or undervolt in Aroma for ElementalX? That could be your issue. I would reflash Elemental, choose more conservative values, wipe Dalvik and cache after install, then try booting again
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StolenStatus:
I did not go too far fetched with the overclocking and undervolting, and I cant reflash it for i deleted the zip off my phone hoping for the best. My computer is not even recognizing the phone as a storage device so I cannot access it to put it back on.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgtiii:
You can get into recovery though, right? Just reflash your rom and that will reinstall the stock kernel
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StolenStatus:
Could you please give me instructions to do that?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgtiii:
What rom are you using, or are you still on stock?

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

If you're on a custom rom, boot to recovery, and reflash the rom, without a full wipe, just flash it over what you have.

If you are on the stock rom, things are a little more complicated. You have to ADB push the kernel file (redownload Elemental) to your SD card. Follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2325853

Your computer should see the phone in ADB mode after you install the ADB drivers. It's all in that guide I linked.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
I'm sure you realize this now, but that is never a good idea. It's good practice to keep all files for your current configuration on your phone should you ever need to reflash. It doesn't hurt to keep an alternate rom/kernel either.

If Anybody interested there is a couple of apps to help out for the new rooters on here. Rom tool box it's pretty good, 4share pro, things of that sort? As always ask if you don't know? N ALWAYS MAKE A BACKFLIP UP!!!!!!!! LOL just got a OPTIMUS G PRO n is OK but I think there's a fine line between extreme n just good. I guess it depends how people look at it?
[Micromax A110] san122:
I know this is not a development thread but I must insist we have something like this in this area. I feel it's important to all development for accurate results and debug information.

I see this all the time. People think they are fully wiping when a developer asks for it. I believe that some people still don't understand what a full wipe is because there is no such single option in ClockWorkMod Recovery. Most likely the reason for that is because Koush didn't want too many posts about "I'm stuck on Google logo" or "my phone won't boot". So here is a test you can do yourself: Backup your ROM of course, and then do a full wipe. Then don't install anything and just reboot. If you end up pass the Google logo and onto the boot loop screen, then what you think is a full wipe is incorrect. If you are stuck on the Google logo and nothing is happening however, then congratulations... you know what you're doing ￼

For the rest of you, here are proper steps to fully wipe without leaving any trace of ROM on your phone:

* wipe data/factory reset

* format /system

* format /boot

Now most people think that the first option is enough. That may often be the case but because the developer can drastically change the contents of the /system folder, things can get messed up if you don't format it. And guess what, that first option will not do it. Wipe data/factory reset only wipes the /data folder which contains your personal settings and all the apps you installed. The ROM is then left blank as if you just flashed it and you can start over. FYI, the format of boot partition simply wipes the boot animation and you can restore it using the advance option in recovery from ROM to another.

I've seen some zip files which do this automatically so that's fine but at least you know what needs to be done to fully wipe.

There you go. I hope this clears some things. Now lets flash some ROMs! ￼

cant get rid of boot logo

i cant get rid of the boot logo.. tried it hundred times, but the problem remains.. after flashing any rom, i first get the canvas logo, and then the rom boot animation starts,,, and cant even see the "format\boot" option.. is there a problem with the CWM recovery or my device?? CWM recovery is "CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2" (compiled by Bruno Martins)
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
You can't exactly Wipe or remove the boot logo, but you have to Overwrite it! So just choose the boot logo you want and then download it and flash the zip file! Here is the Stock Boot logo.

thanx buddy this guide really helps me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skytbest:
So I have the latest CleanROM R7 on my phone, I did a clean install. I've been using it for some time before this issue came up. I've been getting some serious battery drain for the past couple weeks. Before I turned on usb fast charge my battery was draining faster than my car charger could charge it. Android OS, Google Services, and Android System are my 3 top battery suckers before the screen (with normal use). I'm using the latest d2 firmware found here: http://invisiblek.org/d2firmware.html

I think a lot of it may have to do with the new google maps update, but I have to believe there is a way I can fix this without having to turn off any location services or anything like that. I was using them before with no problem. It has been a couple weeks now so I don't believe it has anything to do with being in a weak signal area, or anything that might be unique to a very specific circumstance since I has been continuous throughout the weeks.

If anyone can help me pinpoint the battery drain it would be much appreciated!

Here is a screen of my battery stats

Edit: Sorry, didn't realize that image would be so small, it says the battery is at 60% and 2:53:19 on battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I suggest installing BetterBatteryStats. There is an xda free version available if you search. Let it run for several hours then post the "Dump to txt" file as an attachment or via Pastebin. If you install BBS, check your Kernel Wakelocks and Partial Wakelocks to see what apps are being so disruptive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skytbest:
Oh, I've had BBS installed for quite some time now, I was just never too sure how to use it. Didn't realize I could dump to text. Attached is the text dump!

Edit: Sorry, in my haste I only looked at this text file after posting. I just noticed it has only been running for and hour. I'll let it run longer and post the results later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Just in that 1hr 15 min span, I can see you should configure some settings in either Maps or Settings/Sync. All your highest wakelock counts are Google service related based on the name. Although they're low in percentage, that's the best I can muster. For Maps, I always turn off Location Reporting. I usually keep my GPS unchecked so some of these will not completely go away if you keep GPS enabled all the time. As for the ones relating to Sync, I'm not to sure what can cause these since I keep Contacts, Gmail, and Calendar checked and everything else disabled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skytbest:
Thanks. I've been running it for a while longer now and I tried to catch it as close to it dying as my schedule allows right now. Seems like it is still the Google Services that are the main culprits. It is really annoying that this is the case. Do you know if this is a recent problem in the latest update (probably the new Google Maps)? I've always had the location setting on and never had a problem until now. I use Google Maps really often and don't want to turn these off.

I also notice DeskSMS is up there but it certainly isn't as significant as Google Services.

Thanks again for your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skytbest:
Also, do the kernel wake locks tell you anything? Looks like PowerManagerService is at the top there.
