[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] g_ding84:
FLASHING and TROUBLESHOOTING 101​

Ok seeing how there is a lot of people having trouble flashing this built - weather is be not reading, not paying attention or just plain lack of knowledge. I'm writing the little section up to help alleviate this issue. Now, as we all know NAE and the new NG2 are very touchy. You can thank Samsung for that one. Each new built gets tougher to customize. Plus each new built comes with its own bugs an nuances. But if we can all come together and help get rid of these or find fixes rather then complaining about them we can make this awesome.

This is a community. I see you guys as an extension to my real family.​

First and foremost : I don't have all the answer, Hence why I relay on you guys to help out. So below is a collection of my knowledge and other users input.

Step 1 : of any ROM, read the install instructions and prerequisites before you flash the ROM. like if you're on MF9 build or MJA, don't think you can just flash this ROM and everything will work. (I had to fully update to NG2 bootloader/firmware/modem to make everything work)

Step 2 : read the OP. I try to make it as painless as possible to NOT bore you guys and gals with install instructions and directions. Nor do I try to make is complicated. If you can read, you can flash this ROM. If you choose

not

to read, please, don't expect support. With testng we found Philz recovery and CWM recoveries give extra set of issues when flashing this ROM. I'm sorry for all the earlier confusion. Those have been pulled.

ONLY SUPPORTING KT TWRP FOR NOW

.

step 3 : If you run into a bug, let us know. But be as detailed a possible.

Try not to be like this : that app FC on me every time is click it. this ROM sucks.

OR

I had NAE modem, flashed this ROM, and then no signal, unknown bootloader, IMEI null.

Tried to flash NG2 modem to fix it... not success.

Be careful if you want to try this ROM!

This doesn't help anyone and sounds more like a troll post than anything else.

Try to be like this : Google chrome keeps crashing when I click on it. the page starts to load and then the FC toast message pops up saying Chrome has FC'd. I tried deleting data and cache from the app. I even went into recovery to wipe dalvik cache and it still happens. What else can I do?

OR

I flashed the NG2 modem first. I made sure it stuck and everything was working but since I flashed this ROM I lost all signal and no BaseBand

This will get you a much better response because you have tried to do something and not just get spoon fed the answers. this way we can help you out without asking 25 questions.

Simply delete the app from system/app - go into recovery and wipe dalvik cache - re-install from the play store. ;)

OR

try flashing from KT TWRP as that may be the issue.

Now this also helps as well : Thanks to all my testers and other members for contributing - Extra help install instructions - below
