also just thought of something any mod outside of mine that modifies framework2.jar will cause issues with disable scrolling cache ex. 3minit i believe, i would have to double check if that jar is something 3minit mods
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] scottyf79:
yes im using philz - i switched from twrp as on occasion i could not get into the recovery options and got stuck at the twrp curtain thingy. i also like the new rom wipe option. Its the first time ive had any boot issues with philz.

as for mods like 3minit, i tried them and noticed they didnt work so i have not edited or modified anything visual etc and run the rom as it comes out the box apart from the kernel and my own apps.

anyhoo - bring on the update and again, thanks for your support ;)

finally got the phone to boot after using twrp to flash.

efs mount error, system mount error etc etc - no o.s installed.....

if anyone else gets this i can only suggest trying wiping dalvik, cache, data and system - then do a normal wipe after, then flash the rom file again.

seemed to work for me after trying different things so i hope it helps.

anyhoo thats a side note and nothing to do with GoldenEye :good:

giving it a run out now and hopefully philz has flashed back again.

will report back with any findings but looks like another job well done :D

well I also did a dirty flash mk9 to mke.

all seems to be working ok.

But I always get this annoying

com.android.phone stopped working message

on homescreen after booting s4.

never had this because of dirty flash on my old hd2.

is it possible to fix this without doing a full wipe?

I hate it to always type my system settings and accounts again and again because of an update. apps and data backup with titanium is working great and is not the problem.

thx

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] benbird7:
Right, I took your advice and upgraded to latest version of V15 MKE doing a full wipe. This just resulted in problem after problem after problem.

To start off with it wouldn't boot, I reflashed the firmware and got it working - then Wifi wouldn't work, reflashed again rebooted then wifi worked, even though I can't use it. Connected to mobile data and all appeared fine but now it shows no signal even though I have signal on my signal bar in the top right.

None of my SMS threads will restore via go back up app.

Can anyone confirm what modem to use with the latest version 15 of goldeneye? Also how am I to get my SMS's back? Revert back to v8, restore if that works, then back up using another program reinstall v15 and see if that restores?

Just fed up and wish I hadn't of bothered upgrading, getting so fed up with this flashoholic malarkey if it isn't broke why try fixing it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there Flashing new 4.3 based modem will fix any data drop issues. right now you need to flash this via odin , first you unzip the file and follow the instruction and i hope it fix any problem after that, Once your done flashing the modem and still having a problem try to update your recovery to philz and then make a back up, full wipe, flash the rom, then reboot [Let the phone settle for 5 min, give it time to set itself up] then continue the setup and that should fix your problem :).

Old bootloader Turn off your phone then holding Power+volume down same time should direct you to download mode ( If you dont see Knox warranty Void ) Flash this Modem Via odin

If you are having the old bootloader XXUB flash http://www.mediafire.com/download/48r0rgqv25s8968/GSM_Modem_XXUEMKF_and_LTE_Modem_XXUBMH1.rar file with odin by selecting phone.

New booatloader Turn off your phone then holding Power+volume down same time should direct you to download mode ( Should show Know Void 0x0/0x1)

Flash this Modem

If you are having the new bootloader XXUD flash http://www.mediafire.com/download/zriv6i5c01lqns6/GSM_Modem_XXUEMKF_and_LTE_Modem_XXUMKF.rar file with odin by selecting phone.

Thank you very much for your time spent letting me know about this.

One quick question, I think I am having problems with the system partition (I think) sometimes it will load into recovery, other times it won’t.

If I was going to install the latest version 15 and I wanted to install stock rom via samfirmware then root, would I

Download and flash via odin the XXUEMKE version of this Rom

Then root it using chainfire

Then enter recovery flashing the fix

Then flash V15?

Thank you.

BTW just downloaded and now going to flash modem XXUEMKE - Download: <<< Dev-Host >>> or <<< Android Host >>>
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Repulsa:
Dont flash the newest stock from sammobile because that will change you to a newest bootloader and will get you a knox problem later. i mean if might get you a knox void warranty and this will void your warranty if something happen to your phone. you might wanna stay on old bootloader , Like i said all you have to do is flash the modem, and then if you still having a problem update your recovery to philz and do everything ived said :D

Thanks once again I have now flashed latest modem and the signal bar seems to be staying :)

I also took the memory card out and the phone doesn't appear to be having any random mental reboots. I think the memory card could well be corrupted as when I tried installing the XDA app it came back with an error "couldn't install on USB Storage or SD Card".

I have another micro SD card at home so I will try that and order myself another 64gb micro sd card. It has been functioning fine up till now, but even when I plug it into my computer on XP it is recognised, but starts causing hang ups when browsing on it - unless you know of another reason this may be the case? Should I format it back to a fresh or do error checking?

Phones been running lovely for months, then all of a sudden a few things start happening all at once.

Thank you - PS I won't download latest one of Samfirmware I'll just try factory resetting and installing rom from internal SD now I have latest modem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Repulsa:
hehe Np, and if you still having a problem just a do fresh install again the one i said before:) and make sure your recovery is updated :) have a nice day
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] benbird7:
Whenever I try formatting data in CWM, it starts to do it, then reboots. Any ideas on how I can get round this, this is without the memory card in too! Same when the rom was working I'd hold to reboot with the memory coming up and it would just randomly restart the phone. I wish I never tinkered with it! :(

I'm thinking about flashing stock firmware UBMEA and also flashing pit file?!

I am now at work, if it helps I tried formatting system cache and data. I could clear the system and cache, but when I formatted data it crashed again! I am now going to try this recovery although I have been using the latest version of cwm 6.0.4.4? Now going to reboot device and try factory resetting (trouble is my phone is my only data connection via tethering at work :@ so can take a bit of time to get it working again to come back on (our IT dept blocks XDA!!!) :( Sad times.

There's no other way of formatting the phone completely without using recovery? I'e no way through Odin? I tried flashing the stock rom again through odin but it didn't clear anything, even when I tried using the pit file!

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

I still cannot factory reset my phone thanks for that link - I now know that I cannot format data nor can I reset to factory settings without it restarting. I also know that I cannot get the 4 way reboot menu up if I hold the power key - it just resets - help me please. What would any of you do with this situation? I can't think of where to go from here. The phone is usable. But I cannot reboot or power off without it throwing a wobbly. Also I cannot reset to factory defaults :( *cries*
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Repulsa:
Turn off your phone manually then wait for like 5 sec then hold Power+Volume up that should direct you to Recovery and if you dont have recovery try flashing this in odin as pda http://d-h.st/aNa when done reboot your phone and try again the first step i told you just now. :) If everything work you should do fresh install of v15

Edit: Please pm me if there'a anything you need to know and i will help you fix the problem as soon as i can :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] benbird7:
That worked thank you again so much for your time helping me. Never had issues like this before and have previously worked around them myself. This one seemed to have beaten me. I have successfully factory reset now (although I lost all my whatsapp conversations :( but now the reboot issue is still there I am going to try and find a 4 way reboot compatible with UEMKE rom and flash that. Hopefully that's fixed then too!

Installed this rom after full wipe - bobcat rom after full wipe and echoe rom after a full wipe.

None of them will show reboot menu, holding the power button just powers the phone down. Any ideas. Highly frustrating and I just can't get it to work at all. Spent a whole day on this now :( I've tried going through settings and everything but cannot think of a single thing I've changed! I may go back to V8 of this rom and see whether it still does it. If it does there is something wrong with my phone, as every rom will be the same.

Because of the issue I said before about my memory card too I have not been able to make a back up via cwm - even more of a headache! I've got an old backup from ages ago, but it's just sitting on verifying MD5 sum :(

I would recommend installing original Clockworkmod recovery ( I use the touch version). I had very similar issues and was using philz touch. To be honest I found it to be a little unstable and somehow my external 32gb SD card ended up getting bricked.

Install using the ROM manager app below.

I was on 4.2.2 golden eye ROM and had created a nandroid with philz touch and then installed 4.3 golden eye ROM, was having a few issues and tried going back to 4.2.2 but kept having boot loops. Tried all different wipes in philz recovery but something wasn't right. I flashed a stock 4.2.2 ROM in Odin which seemed fine again, then tried flashing 4.3 again and even 4.2.2 golden eye but still had boot loops. Installed clockworkmod and wiped system cache data and dalvik and was able to flash ROMs again. So don't give up and try CWM.

inc using the pit file, I am at a loss as to why the hell it won't work!

I have tried back to stock firmware I have no knox when I go into download mode. I've installed newer firmwares goldeneye, bobcat and echoe rom in the hope that one would work, none of them do :(

They all end up loading the rom fine, then when I try and reboot to recovery or download mode it just turns off when I hold the power button down.

I am on philztouch CWM base version v6.0.4.5

Nothing works no matter what I try :(

Should I install samsung kies and try factory resetting my phone from there?

does your root still works after restoring ? and what rom are you using now? if your root works try to extract the androidpolicy.jar from goldeneye v15 then use a root explorer or something that you can push the file.

I'm reading and going to try this :

open file "factorymode" in efs/factoryApp directory, it probabely says "off", change to "on" (yes "on" is the correct setting to turn it off), then save

EFS folder was empty, fortunately had a copy of my EFS backed up, so I copied the contents into the EFS folder rebooted, still wouldn't work.

So I factory reset, reinstalled GoldenEye V15. Rebooted. Had to then go into the efs folder again and nothing in there again. I tried using terminal emulator but that didn't work below, said file not found :S for the efs/nv_data.bin

Create on your Phone Memory(Not Extrenal sd!!) a folder called "efsbackup"(without quotes)

Copy all files & folders from the EFS backup into "efsbackup" folder(The files are like in the picture)

Using root explorer, go to "efsbackup folder, select all files & folders there, and click Copy.

Still in root explorer, go to "efs" folder of your device(It is located where all main folders like data, system, etc.).

In "efs" folder, click paste. It will ask you if you want to replace your files, select replace to all files(So all your files from "efsbackup" folder will be in "efs" folder)

Now open terminal emulator

Write the following:

Code:

su

Then click enter. It will ask for super user permission, give it permissions.

Now write:

Code:

busybox chown 1001:1001 /efs/nv_data.bin

Then click enter.

Now write:

Code:

busybox chmod 06755 /efs/nv_data.bin

Then click enter.

Reboot device. Now everything should work.
