OK, but I have an unrooted system.img I pulled from recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
But for 5.0 right? That wouldn't have helped me in this case. I appreciate it though.
[Galaxy S 4 General] muniz_ri:
Yes 5.0 but I could do the same for 4.4.4. Anyway, no worries.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
How long did it sit on "unpacking files" for you? Cause I'm well over 10 minutes and it looks hung. SIGH.
[Galaxy S 4 General] muniz_ri:
Definately longer than usual maybe 4mins.

P.S. TWRP does not stick on this build. Other devices had this problem, too. TWRP needs to be updated for us. It was great for me cause I installed TWRP, dd extracted system with no root, and it nicely put stock recovery back on for me. LMAO

Thank you, Samuri for the build! ;)

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 General] DJ_Jedi:
Finally, what did i tell you guys? It was just a matter of days.

Now let's wait for our beloved 9505 devs to build a clean GPe for us who own the international S4 :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] MysteriousDiary:
Could somebody please test if the camera api v2 is fully supported? A simple test would be to use camera fv-5 and see if you can save the images in the dng raw format.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
I think it's unlikely that this'll be our final build. I suspect we'll get 5.0.1 in a couple weeks to bring us up to the same level as all the Nexus and other gpe devices. You guys feel that? That's right, that's the love from Sammy. Lmao
[Galaxy S 4 General] dmapr:
Enable DNG option is grayed out. "This device does not support RAW capture" :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] johannes140:
Hahaha. So this is why they call the update "5.0.0", instead of "5.0", simply to tease us. Lmao. By the way, the touch-to-focus in HDR mode bug still hasn't been fixed. You gotta love Samsung.
[Galaxy S 4 General] gotluck:
The chipmunk voice in voip apps when 'okay google' is enabled for all screens is still there too

Overall I'm pleased though

No more Samsung devices for me though :p
[Galaxy S 4 General] MariuxReloaded:
Hi guys, how can it be that Samsung hasn't released the new kernel source yet?

http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=GT-I9505G

It's important for the creation of custom kernels :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] johannes140:
I think it's because they want to show that they *really* don't care for the GPE. In any way possible... But, according to GPL, they have to publish the sources or they can be sued - iirc. So i guess they will be published "soon" ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] MariuxReloaded:
I hope it so because, if we had waited a lot for the new update, now I'll get very angry if we have to wait a lot for the kernel source -_-"
[Galaxy S 4 General] Thin_Bezel:
Good thing. We don't have to wait for the update :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] MariuxReloaded:
What do you mean?
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
As I said before I don't believe this is our final update. All other gpe devices except one are on 5.0.1.
[Galaxy S 4 General] johannes140:
This is not true. The following devices are all on 5.0 so far:

- Moto G GPE (LRX21Z)

- LG G Pad 8.3 GPE (LRX21P)

- Sony Z Ultra GPE (LRX21P)

Even the Nexus 5 hasn't been updated to 5.0.1 yet!
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
I had only seen the Sony z thing as being on 5.0 still but looks as though you're correct. That makes this situation even more ridiculous. Google really blew it with this rollout.
[Galaxy S 4 General] peshellas:
Moto g gpe got updated to 5.0.1 by OTA it was captured yesterday.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Spacemonkie4207:
Took a day or so for HTC to release its kernel sources. Usually they are released before the update. The fact that it's the weekend may have something to do with it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sanshinron:
I would also like to know if it's possible to take RAW (DNG) pictures with this ROM. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MysteriousDiary:
I've asked a bit earlier in the thread and someone mentioned that it isn't supported. From all of the devices that got an update to Android L only the Nexus 5 and 6 seem to support the new camera api v2 features. Hopefully the next generation of devices launching in 2015 will do :/

Although the Sony camera sensor should support it, so it's just question of drivers I would guess. At least this wikipedia website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exmor#List_of_Exmor_sensors says that the IMX135 supports RAW output.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ttk81:
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=GT-I9505G

GT-I9505G_NA_LL_Opensource.zip is kernel sources for 5.0?
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
Yup. Wonder why my watch on that page didn't notify me it was posted....awesome. :/ Anyway, that usually gets posted BEFORE the update OTA's but in this case they were a few days behind. That will most likely help rom devs.

Update

Hello dear,

I have a I9505 and is free with 5GB.

After receiving notification that reached update for my phone I click download and it tells me I do not have enough space.

What bug is this?

:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 General] wumei:
Great thread
[Galaxy S 4 General] burco:
Any word on 5.0.1? 5.0 has a bug with smsc with vodafone nl.
[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
Considering that the GS4 GPE is intended to be US-only, I'm not sure Google and/or Samsung are really going to care as long as it works with US carriers. But regardless, there's no word on a 5.0.1 update yet.
[Galaxy S 4 General] burco:
The vodafone nl bug is a side effect of verizon roaming on dutch vodafone. This has already been fixed, just need a GPE update for the S4. Thanks for your answer. Hope they will release an update. Also, there's memory issues in 5.0 and 5.0.1, might be cause for an update.
[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
I'm sure the GPEs will get either 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 in a few weeks. I guess we'll find out!
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
The nexus phones don't even have 5.0.2 yet. I'd say it'll be quite a while if it's going to be 5.0.2. If it's 5.0.1 then we should see it "soon".
[Galaxy S 4 General] burco:
That is true, but Nexus 7 2012 has 5.0.2 available and I expect Google to have a sense of urgency because of the memory issues:

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79729

http://www.androidauthority.com/fix-lollipops-massive-memory-leak-coming-soon-ish-577101/
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
Urgency? LOL. 5.0.2 has been out well over a week so no urgency.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pclov3r:
5.0.2 is device specific really I think from the changelog
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
Some fixes are. Others, like trim fix, are not.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pclov3r:
That does appear so.

I guess google thought there isn't enough changes for a general release to nexus devices besides the 2012 N7. It runs pretty crappy on 5.0 anyways. Herd it's due to NAND issues.

Hopefully 5.0.1 for the s4 in the coming days.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
They're apparently working on a memory leak problem. Seriously, Google, Wtf is going on with this release? Sigh.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pclov3r:
It is a major release so bugs are going to occur.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jaykresge:
People always forget how many updates each major release gets. 4.4 was quickly followed by 4.4.1 and 4.4.2. When 4.4.3 came out awhile later, 4.4.4 was a VERY quick fix due to the OpenSSL bug.

The OEMs are currently trying to balance the customer's perceived need for the latest update with Google's pace of releases. Ideally, they'd want Google to say, "Ok, this is it for 5.0.x, so why don't you guys port this release while we work on 5.1?"
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
I don't forget these things, I'm a software engineer with 20 year's experience in the field. Google needs to adopt a new model. It ROYALLY pains me to say this, but, something more akin to how Microsoft works with Windows. You get OS updates, and they, too, generally suck in the beginning. But you don't have to wait for Windows 8.1, 8.1.1, 8.1.2, 8.1.3, etc in order to get fixes. OTA updates should be reserved for new functionality and Google should put something akin to Windows Updates in place (I'm looking at you Google Play Services) to push out fixes to existing functionality more rapidly without the need for an OTA and a bump up in version. What they're doing now isn't speeding things up. The reality is if it takes 5 or 6 versions to get a solid release, and the OTA's are between 2 and 8 weeks after Google pushes the source to AOSP, is that really better than waiting for a solid release to begin with? 4.4.4, due to the maturity, was pretty darn stable. However, us Nexus and GPE owners did sign up to be first at all costs, so, I guess the trade-off here is that we find the bugs and have to wait for a fix. Hurray. LOL.

Not finding OTA update

My rooted GPE s4 phone tried to install the OTA update to Android 5.0.0 in mid December. It failed twice for some 'now forgotten' error while in the command prompt-type screen, then I had to stop trying as I went out of town.

Upon returning it does not find any updates (saying my phone is up to date). I called Google about this, was told to wipe cache, and did so several days ago, but the phone still does not say there are any updates.

Can anyone explain why my phone will not find the update? Is the update simply is not being offered any more for some reason? Is this why so many of us are forced to sideload the updates?

On another note, has anyone installed a custom recovery on their GPE s4? I've tried dong this, and failed, and now wonder if there is some protections on the phone I can't seem to get around... something that rewrites the stock recovery right after I flash a custom one? Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

Can someone confirm if only being rooted will prevent the OTA to Lollipop from installing?

Must I restore to stock using genius SamuriHL's files to get Lollipop on my s4 GPE? Would sideloading get around the fact that I'm rooted? Thanks a bundle.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
No idea why it's not seeing the OTA.

After you flash custom recovery, you must shut off the device, and boot directly to recovery. If you boot to system before booting to recovery, it will overwrite custom recovery with stock recovery, making it look like "it didn't work".

Finally, yes, my ODIN image will allow you to update. The OTA may or may not install with root installed. Most of us had problems with it. I intentionally left root out of the 5.0 image so if you do use it, you will have to root it manually. (CF Auto root, custom recovery, whatever works for you).
[Galaxy S 4 General] disasterpierce:
Can i update?

Hi, a few months ago my S4 Google Edition broke(glass).... Now i fix it and my cellphone is in CM 11... Can i update directly with Android 5.0, Build LRX21PAP? or do i have to update to I9505GUEUBMKG 4.4 Kitkat and then 5.0? Sorry for my ignorance and my english :good: :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
I'd not keep data in that scenario but you can certainly use the ODIN image to update directly to 5.0.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dmapr:
Does anyone know if we'll be getting the 5.1 update from Samsung/Google or is the 5.0 it for this device? Given the official 18 month update policy it wouldn't surprise me if the updates stopped now.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
I would have expected 5.0.1 by now at the very least, but, um, yea.
[Galaxy S 4 General] vwlshrtg:
Yeah, seriously. What on earth is taking so long for 5.0.1? (Unless for some reason my phone just isn't seeing it, but I don't think so.)

Maybe since they've kept us waiting this long they can throw in the patch for CVE-2015-1474 too.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
I just don't think they want to support it anymore. It's sad, really.
[Galaxy S 4 General] vwlshrtg:
Man, that would really suck. It's ONE model back from the latest Galaxy! And runs lollipop so well, too. :\
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
I think we'll see an upgrade eventually, but, I'm not expecting it "quickly". Hell, even the Nexus devices aren't all on 5.0.2. And 5.1 is nowhere to be found yet.
[Galaxy S 4 General] drshivas:
Bump. Now that 5.1 is in the news, any word on this model's future? Does Google publish an end of life road map for devices it controls? I'd like to stop hoping and searching if the the Galaxy S4 GPE is truly no longer supported.

EDIT: I posted this in the Q&A forum and will put questions there from now on.
[Galaxy S 4 General] AtrixBomb:
I downloaded the zip to go to LRX21P from KTU84P. This is referred to as an ODIN image, but I understood ODIN flashed .tar or .tar.md5 files only.

Questions:

- is this *.USER_I9505G_XAR_UCNF3_to_UDNL3_Update_FWD.zip only meant to be flashed via recovery? how can it be flashed via ODIN in download mode?

- is there a .tar file for the Lollipop GPE s4 stock ROM I may flash with ODIN directly? where please?

- must I use my stock "Android System Recovery" to apply this update through ADB?

- must I install a custom recovery, hopefully make it stick by booting to it directly, then flash that zip file through custom recovery?

- is there any benefit to "Full unroot" thorugh the SuperSU app?

I'm struggling here... Thank you in advance :)

Complaints:

- Why is Android System Recovery practically useless!

- Why don't OTA updates just work!
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505g-develop/odin-5-0-0-i9505gueudnl3-restore-t2971638

Read fully. The archive you're referencing is the OTA update and must be flashed via stock recovery on an UNROOTED device....if you're rooted, it's most likely why it fails. The ODIN image I linked to is fully unrooted and can be flashed in ODIN over pretty much anything.
[Galaxy S 4 General] AtrixBomb:
Can't send or receive MMS

I can't send or receive MMS. I'm using Google messenger and have also tried Hangouts. Neither work with MMS. Messenger works with SMS, and Hangouts will receive SMS, but won't send SMS.

I've tried a half dozen solutions: fixing the APN, having T-Mobile refresh my phone, reinstalling the apps, tweaking settings, resetting my phone, etc... I have not done a factory reset, and am reluctant to do so.

Has anyone had this problem? Has anyone found a solution?

I believe my trouble is specific to being on Lollipop 5.0 GPE s4. I'm unrooted in hope of getting auto-updated to 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 or even 5.1 when the powers that be allow it. Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
It's because you're on Wi-Fi. Shut Wi-Fi off and your MMS should send fine. If you want to send MMS while connected to Wi-Fi, go into your APN settings, find the currently selected APN, then change APN Protocol to "IPv4/IPv6." That'll fix it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] AtrixBomb:
I forgot to mention, when I try sending MMS I get this error: "Cellular data is turned off. Check your settings."

Then I go into Settings -> Data usage -> and cellular data is toggled off. I toggle it on, but when I return it is toggled off. I am unable to ever find it toggled on, but when I'm away from WiFi all my apps get data, WhatsApp, email, weather, news, etc.

I've tried setting APN Protocol to "IPv4/IPv6." as part of my APN adjustments, but I still get the error above... Does anyone else have that recurring "Cellular data is turned off. Check your settings." message?
[Galaxy S 4 General] AtrixBomb:
I Odin'd the stock lollipop GPE s4 update to start, and so I think I started fresh. Anyone have any further tips about getting MMS to send/receive?

Am I the only one with a GPE s4 that won't allow me to toggle the cellular data on? I toggle it on, close, and when I return it is always toggled off.

On another note, I've been trying to transfer my SMS to my note 3 to use that for my daily driver until Lollipop 5.1 comes and hopefully fixes my GPE s4.... but I can't get the messages to transfer. I'm no longer rooted, so titanium back up isn't useful, Helium won't transfer messenger messages (and in Lollipop my messaging app did not work, so I had to use messenger), Samsung smart switch doesn't see my messages, and SMS Backup+ spends hours restoring SMS/Call log with no net change at the end.

I'm at a complete loss with how transferring something as basic as SMS is so difficult.. the bloody data is less than 5 MB as a text file. Thanks for any tips.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dmapr:
Can't say if you're the only one, but I have none of the problems with cellular data you describe. I'm using Hangouts as my messaging app and both SMS & MMS work without a hitch. Have you tried using Hangouts? I can turn the cellular data on or off as needed and it stays that way.
[Galaxy S 4 General] gotluck:
I has a similar problem with cellular data being turned off, but only effecting google messenger MMS. I noticed every time I toggled it on and went back to check the setting again , it would be off. Odly enough, what fixed it was to turn it back on, turn it off again, then back on, without leaving the settings app. Hope this works for you. Cellular data remains enabled for me now

On another note I see the moto g gpe received 5.1. Here's to hoping we do too :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] ViniciusAlves:
Thanks for post :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] AtrixBomb:
I fixed my MMS problem by uninstalling and reinstalling "Google Messenger" ... such a simple fix, and a reminder to start with the basics. Prior to doing this, MMS would not work with Hangouts either. Now it works fine across multiple messaging apps.

5.1 is out for Moto X GPe, HTC One M7 e M8 GPe, Sony Xperia Ultra GPe, only the S4 GPe is missing, any news?
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
I've seen nothing. I'm back from a week away for work so if and when an OTA is released I'll put out a new image. I'm not overly hopeful as I've seen nothing at all suggesting that Samsung is even working on it, but, we'll have to wait and see. I'm guessing it SHOULD come "soon" but who knows.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jaykresge:
There is no such thing as a Moto X GPE. Perhaps you meant the Moto G GPE?

But other than that, I think you're right. Here's a list of the current Google Play Edition Devices (listed in order of announced/released date), and their Android 5.1 status:

Galaxy S4 - ???

HTC One (M7) - 5.1 released

Xperia Z - 5.1 released

G Pad 8.3 - 5.1 released

Moto G - 5.1 released

HTC One (M7) - 5.1 released
[Galaxy S 4 General] DJ_Jedi:
Moto X, Moto G, all those letters are confusing :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] gotluck:
Well, I would imagine it is coming considering it is the only one left on the list - but who knows? has samsung really ever said anything about updates in the past, it seems like they have great disdain for this device
[Galaxy S 4 General] jaykresge:
Generally, Samsung hasn't said anything about updates for this device. Typically, we'd see HTC announce an update for the One M7 GPE, and then we'd hear reports of a rollout for the S4 GPE around the same time, +/1 one day. The two devices were largely in sync from day of release through the 4.4.4 rollout. There's been some apparent separation with Lollipop updates, however.
[Galaxy S 4 General] gotluck:
Aye, Im sure they dont want people hearing GS4 GPE is receiving 5.1 update the same day GS6 & Edge is officially available (with 5.0.2) too :p

Forcing OTA on GT-i9505G

Hey. Not sure if I'm using XDA correctly but here's my question. I have a OnePlus One, a M7, M8 and S4 GPE.

My S4 GPE is still on 4.4.4. Is there a way to force an OTA. I don't want to flash a ROM on it, I just (for once) want a regular OTA on my phone.

Thanks for your answers.

Cheers
[Galaxy S 4 General] jaykresge:
Your S4 GPE should already have Lollipop. So long as you're not rooted, you should be seeing the OTA. If you've done anything funky to it, try a factory reset.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hugmart:
Factory reset it is ! Let's see what happens. Thanks jaykresge
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
If that doesn't work, you can always try my ODIN image to return it to a minty factory state.
[Galaxy S 4 General] privatename98:
Sideload

You can't force your device to update but you can do it manually by sideloading the OTA file. Are you familiar with that procedure?
[Galaxy S 4 General] dontpannic:
Hi Samuri,

When you've finished the ODIN image, would you mind if I used it as a base for a flashable untouched ZIP for GT-I9505 (crediting you of course?)

Many thanks

Nick
[Galaxy S 4 General] SamuriHL:
Not a problem. Assuming we ever get the OTA, that is. LOL.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dontpannic:
Ha! Yeah, they're certainly taking their time over it...!

Thanks Samuri, appreciated!

At this rate even Cyanogenmod may release 5.1 before Samsung does :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] ghitus:
Cyanogenmod has ALREADY released 5.1.1

I think that Sammy is delaying the release of 5.1 GPE just because this rom is so good that it can damage the sell of newest devices. IMHO.
[Galaxy S 4 General] treibstoff:
i think they wait until the s6 series get the 5.1 update in june. the update of the old s4 gpe before the new flagship seems to be a nogo for samsung

Those are nightly builds, I don't consider them a release. It's taking them forever to cut a snapshot.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Danvdh:
4.4.4 m8 was wonderful
[Galaxy S 4 General] ghitus:
YOUR ROM is wonderful! It's hard to wait until Samsung will release GPE 5.1. We're all waiting for you and Kryten to release the new build!
[Galaxy S 4 General] magnamentis:
as far as i know cm is on 5.1.1_r2

EDIT: just saw your later post. what you consider is not relevant. if your way of looking at things cm would not exist as a rom because there has been no release yet for lollipop, only nightlies. so you cannot seriously consider a rom on which the vast majority of custom roms are based as inexistent. just admit that you worded that imperfectly and things are ok.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dmapr:
How about they themselves don't consider it a release? In their blog post http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/all-about-l-part-2 they said "We’ll be looking at a 12.0 release sometime this month". The 12.0 nightlies have been available for a while before the post, so clearly it hasn't been released from their point of view.
