Wipe cache error

Has anyone tried wiping the cache on 4.3? I'm on stock Mi1 and when I boot to recovery the android guy is laying on his back with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark on it and it says no command below him. At the at the top it says something like:

#manual Mode#

--applying multicsc--

applied the csc code: VZN

successfully applied multi csc

When I toggle down and try wiping the cache he is standing up for a few seconds and it says erasing but then he goes back to lying down with the exclamation mark with the word error below him. After that the phone reboots to the os. I had never tried wiping the cache before updating to mi1 so I don't know if it worked right then. There are some posts about the problem on the international S4 forum but I didn't see any solutions other than rooting and installing custom recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zregnier:
Mind has done this since day one across all the updates. Root has been only way I've been able to clear cache.

Can someone post their SecMms.apk from the 4.3 update?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
The camera now remembers most settings after being completely closed. The ISO and exposure settings still reset to auto upon closing the app. Before, as long as the camera app remained in memory, any custom settings, such as ISO and the three chosen quick toggles, would be saved. However, as soon as you quit the app from the multitasking menu, upon reopening, all quick toggles are reset and all non-important settings like ISO and white balance would be reset.

I've also noticed that the camera does not really change anything now when ISO values are set to manual. You have to turn off auto night detection to change ISO, which makes a dimly lit room look almost pitch dark, and when you boost the ISO manually to compensate, nothing changes.

Only by setting ISO to auto or re-enabling night detection does the picture look bright again.

I'm big on pictures and photography, so I thought Id be satisfied with the new camera firmware update. However, I like to take pictures in low light, to show off the supreme contrast the S4's screen has, and emphasize whats in the center and gets the light from the flash. The bugs in ISO and night detection are really frustrating me.

Speaking of the S4's screen, I usually used the Movie setting on display options, and had auto tone turned on. I decided to disable that and set it to Dynamic, and I could definitely tell a sharp difference. The color looks supremely vivid, without being overly saturated.

I've noticed pretty much everything else that others have posted, and all in all, this update makes the S4 the way Samsung intended it to be, minus the freely unlocked bootloader, of course! Sammy supports tweaking and tinkering, but they pretty much had to give in to Verizon. Personally, this strong security is quite impressive, but all it does is make people have to spend even more money to get a dev edition.

Sorry for the long post, btw, I'm new here, and I tend to ramble about things like this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ToastyZ71:
Tried the Focal camera app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
No, but thanks for the suggestion! Would you know of any apps that can do minor edits and touch-ups on photos, as well?

Like I said, Im big on photography :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ToastyZ71:
Not sure on that, but I just tried to use the Focal camera after my upgrade to MJ7 and it crashes when taking a picture, for me...

I've been getting some nasty battery life since this update and I'm not really sure where it's coming from.. Has anyone else noticed their battery life suffer since going to 4.3? I just got rid of Battery Guru and going to give Gsam a go and see what it reports in a day or two.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] redbean25:
On the contrary, mine is much improved. I end the day at 75-80% instead of 60% with the same usage model. I now can go two days before charging.

hi guys im following up the comments herei have been wondering if the 4.3 update still have the gsm option since im abroad using with gsm provider i dont want to update and find out they removed it without letting us know, could please someone confirm this?

Anyone else notice that folders on your TouchWiz homescreens do not close automatically after opening them and tapping one of the icons inside. It's getting really old to hit back every time to clear the folder after I exit an app.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] caveat71:
One of the differences/problems I have noticed is that while I545VRUDMI1 activated the ability to roam on Telus' HSPA network in Canada this update breaks ability to use data on Telus' HSPA network.

I was fully using the HPSA+ network for voice/text/data roaming with Telus prior to the 4.3 update. Now I can only get voice/text even though I am enabled for global data roaming, data is enabled and data roaming on the handset is enabled.

I can still use Telus' CMDA network for 3G Voice and Data...but would prefer to not crawl after having access to the better data speeds.

I am thinking bug...but hoping someone knows better than me. Thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Yeah, I noticed that too. Seems Focal doesn't like the new camera firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cindylee60:
I'm having issues with my stock text app failing to send. If I boot, it fixes it for a while. Also, intermittently, my wifi will become "unstable" and I can't access the internet.

neither of these happened even one time before 4.3.

I'm rooted with all the Knox items and a bunch of other things frozen.

I know I've seen others with these issues, but not posts lately....I'm hoping that's because someone found a fix or root cause?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattamous:
Mine just started this same problem this morning after I had sent out a text. Reboot temporarily fixed but now it's back to failing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SomeGuyDude:
No root here, enjoying the update.

Only perplexing thing: I thought 4.3 transmitted media information over bluetooth, but it doesn't seem to like on my old 4.3 on the s3. Not a huge issue, just kinda aggravating.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hitch_Itch:
I am rooted and figured I would take the update and then root again later when the Dev's find a way if I want to.

The update fails to install, I think I need to flash the stock image in Oden, I have never used Oden so I need to figure it all out.

I unfroze everything before trying the update, Didnt work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rebel908:
Does the update free up any of the storage? Or is the 16GB device still in the single didgits of storage (<10GB actual). Thinking about picking the device up again, but there is so little room on the 16GB without expandable storage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hitch_Itch:
The phone does have expandable storage, just throw in a SD card and you are good to go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] redbean25:
Hitch, I had the same issue. I fixed it by plugging it into my computer and running the Verizon tool to recover the phone. It basically flashes the stock MI1 image. Then the update works perfectly. But it is a complete wipe, so all your settings are back to default...and you get to add and set up all your apps again. There is a thread here somewhere of a way to reflash the stock image without wiping. I'm glad I did the full wipe though, as I have not had any of the weird issues people seem to be having with the 4.3 upgrade.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hitch_Itch:
Thanks Red, I will give that a try
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cindylee60:
for me it freed up a little bit....I think I gained maybe .2g. not much, bit it surprised me to see it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JihadSquad:
I found another change. The task manager now has a list of all defaults you set do if you want to clear one you don't have to go digging in the application manager.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] coltonwood:
did/do you have safestrap installed??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hitch_Itch:
Nope, Titanium, SU, Exposed, Wanam, Xquick toggles & Voodoo for rooted apps

I have not deleted any apps, I have un-froze all apps that were frozen with Ti and I re-enabled all apps in app manager

The ota worked for me coming from Me7, Not this time.

Where can I see the Knox counter 0x0 / 0x1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] redwings73:
Top left corner of the download mode screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ch.ch1:
Where do I get to that screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
You need to uninstall Xposed for the update to take - run the Xposed installer and click "Uninstall (restore app_process)". If you retain root, you can re-enable it afterwards. That app_process file is one of the files that is updated by MJ7.

For ch.ch1: check the Knox Warranty Void flag by booting into downloader mode. (I use quick boot for that, or you can power off, then power up holding home/volume down/power together. Release the power button when the phone vibrates, but keep holding the home/volume down.

Once downloader starts, press the volume up then read the tiny text in the upper left of the screen. Hold the power button down until it restarts to reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] -Lawless:
Turn off the phone, hold down volume, Power and Home buttons until screen comes on.

Then let go of the buttons and hit volume up

It's super tiny text so break out the magnifying glass!

Argh..missed the reply above.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] coltonwood:
as k1mu said, you may want to try getting rid of xposed. I personally had bad luck with safestrap installed and I had to try to get as "close to stock" as I could before the update worked. ie remove mods, safestrap, etc. good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hitch_Itch:
Thanks K1, I will giv e that a try tonight, I didnt know Xposed would cause that failure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] redbean25:
I have not had to hold the Home key for entering Download or Recovery modes. I believe it is completely unnecessary.

OK did a factory reset and batt pull after update...and have this. Thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] -Lawless:
After a battery pull it goes straight to 4+ hours on battery?

Or are we supposed to be looking at something else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] redbean25:
Also, what is your actual screen on time. If the screen was on for a good portion of that 4 hours, I am not surprised by the battery drain.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] harrytery:
Just be patient with it. I had the same issue but just dealt with it for a week. Took my phone off the charger at 6am, 6 hours later I'm at 77%
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dennelly:
What are other ways to detect why my battery has gone to crap besides doing a factory reset? I can't root it and backup my stuff which is the reason why I'm asking.

Also is there any app that I can use to at least backup app data before a factory reset?

sch-i545 - 4.3 update - Notification drop down buggy

hello,

i just updated my vzw s4 and it is having intermittent issue with the Notification drop down issue. I try to slide down the notification and no response. Everything else still works. Once the phone is in this state, i have to restart. Once restarted, it works again.

Does anyone else have this issue with notification pull down?

Pls help!!!

to Update or not to update

Is anyone out there running a Vraume7 S4 i545 with a custom ROM on 4.2.2 via safe strap and unwilling to give up a good thing just for a 4.3 update? Also what does receiving the OTA mean for safe-strap? do I have to remove before hand?

I'm in the middle of quandary here.. I've finally - after all this- time am so very happy with my Google edition ROM via safe strap. to the extent that I installed the Google edition ROM on the stock ROM slot in order to gain all the space. (I have a backup via safe strap - restore) so here i am now wondering if the next step is to simply restore to factory settings, and receive the OTA so i can get my 4.3 on. I cant shake the feeling that I'm going to miss that pure Google experience.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] -Lawless:
I would wait until everything gets ironed out.

4.3 isn't worth it to me. I unfortunately bought into the "GETTING 75MEG DOWNLOAD SPEED!!" posts and gave up root to do it before they figured out a way to keep root. (And unable to get those speeds anyway in my area right now lol)

Now I'm stuck with 4.3 unrooted and kicking myself for jumping the gun.

am i the only one with Notification Center issue?

I checked for update again and says up to date.

Intermittently the Notification Center stops working and requires restart. Once restarted, it will work for a while and then stop working. It was fine with 4.2.2 and now 4.3, i have this problem.

Am i the only one and everyone else OK? maybe my hardware all bad now??? :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wesleyw27:
So I successfully updated and kept root, great thanks for that method. Now is there any details about what the update did to the battery? I know people complained about it but I figured it wouldn't be too bad.

So my first day after the update, in 40 minutes of on/off use it dropped from 100-81%, normally this would only drop it to say 95-96%. That scared me, and the phone was getting hot. Stayed hot. So I tried rebooting and it so far, has seemed to fix the battery issue. Its now gradually going down as it should with my use in a day. So any information on this?

Here's a screenshot of my battery usage today, you can see where I restarted it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nano20able:
Is worthing to update from 4.2.2 to 4.3?

How is the battery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Out of the chute battery life sucks but I have heard that if you do update then do a factory reset it is much better. I have dine the reset cause I don't want to take the time to set everything back up. But if you do right after update should be fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wesleyw27:
The battery life does seem to be fine now for the most part. Maybe it was just the beginning after the update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] onemeila:
Factory reset did not help my battery life at all. As ive stated before used to have 70-80% after work now more like 30-40%, really irritated considering they took away the option of downgrading.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xs11e:
Maybe, maybe not. It depends entirely on what software update the new phone is running, do a whole bunch of reading here!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
A little research goes a long way.

The really short answer......if your phone arrives with the 4.3 update......NO.

I also figured I would try Kies, I dl'd it, plug my phone in and it just sits there saying connecting for the last 20 minutes My pc is windows 8 pro

Anyone have any idea what I can do. I want to take the ota but it fails because I am rooted, I have unfroze everything and removed wanam, I still have Su, Titanium and voodoo installed but i dont think those apps would stop the ota.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] killajoe:
I ran into this problem i had to odin back then factory reset then had Verizon Software Manager Repair Phone then and only then I was able to update. Dont know how everyone else did it. but this is what worked for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Don't upgrade with Kies as it WILL remove your root. Use ODIN. If you can't get into downloader mode and connect to ODIN, there's lots of threads in the development forum on how to get that connection to work - ensure you've got the right cable, update drivers, etc.

The directions in the thread here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2504408 - will install a clean, no-wipe MI1.

This will undo the changes that you don't remember (I've told multiple people, for example, that they need to run the Xposed installer and use the "Uninstall (restore app_process)" button to return that to stock. If that doesn't help with getting the OTA to work, then you've forgotten something that you've removed or modified. For another example, do you have the Google Wallet NFC hack drivers installed? Those need to be restored as well to get the MI1 build to be right.

Once you have a clean MI1 base with root, you can then upgrade using the OTA and keep it.

Don't try to short circuit. You WILL lose root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hitch_Itch:
I have not uninstalled any app that came with the phone, I only froze them, no hacks other then Exposed installer, I used app manager to remove Xposed.

This is my first Samsung phone, I have always used/rooted HTC phones so this Odin thing is totally new to me, the thread link says to flash in Odin, I need to figure out How to use Odin to flash.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
That may not have restored the app_process program to stock.

Look in /system/bin on your phone. Is there an app_process and an app_process.something else? I think it's app_process.orig but can't remember for sure. If so, then you need to reverse them.

Mount /system read/write.

rename app_process to app_process.bad

rename app_process.orig to app_process

remount system readonly

Now you've reverted that change, in case that's what's blocking the OTA.

I wrote a shell script that scans your phone for all of the files updated by the 4.3 OTA patch, displaying anything that's missing or not matching the content. The OTA has to be very careful as it doesn't replace files, it updates them by applying a set of differences that match the updates. If the file isn't original and untouched, then the patch would create gibberish that wouldn't work.

It's really not hard. Reboot in downloader mode. Install the drivers for the phone, start up ODIN, then plug in the phone. It should connect and you're ready to flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hitch_Itch:
Im going to try to follow this thread-http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2504408

As long as I know where to put the files in Odin I should be ok

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] redbean25:
The tool won't start? That seems odd. I don't remember when I installed it. I just noticed it in the lower right hidden icons. I connected the phone, started the tool, and choose recovery. It then flashed the stock MI1 image for me. Do you have the correct Samsung drivers installed for the phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hitch_Itch:
Kies installs the drivers when you install Kies.

I think Im going to try the Odin route later today.

unless I need to download and install the Verizon tool, I am under the impression that the V tool will pop up when you plug your phone into the pc, no mention of dl'ing the Verizon tool first
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattamous:
I read that you have to use the Xposed installer to remove the Xposed installer, if that makes sense. That way it will put the appropriate system files back to factory. Try that first and see what happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hitch_Itch:
I was able to use Odin, It worked well and was easy.

Thanks tho
