Default storage after rooting

Hi guys,

I just flashed my Note 4 with a new rom (FireKat v4). I followed the instructions and everything went well. The only difference was, I placed the rom in microSD and flash from there.

Some apps like Tumblr, Swiftkey doesn't seem to work, these apps always fails to load images or cannot download language packages. Some photo apps show default storage errors.

Is there a way to solve this problem? Thanks guys!

error executing updater binary in zip

First of all

huge thanks to you Mega...

I have searched the whole forum for the issue im having (error executing updater binary in zip) and it seems polish_pat had the same problem (I have the canadian version) and

you replied that he should use 2.8.0.0 to fix the problem. I can't seem to find that version anywhere for canadiain version

or i tried using openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-trltetmo.img but that didn't help either. Do you know where I can get that version or any other fix for this?

Thanks

Can confirm FireKat V4 fails on Canadian Note 4 W8

I had the same experience as polish_pat. I could flash the twisted kernel just fine, but V4 of the FireKat rom fails on install.

I have less than 10 posts so I can't link the pic, but the error message says:

Error executing updater binary in zip 'sdcard/Download/FireKatN4CanadianV4.zip'
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimsondr:
The problem occurs because the zip doesn't contain a boot.img. I fixed the problem by renaming the twisted kernel to boot.img and adding it to the zip before flashing. Now you can install the kernel and rom in one step.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicflite:
Good news! I was able to install the rom on my Wind Mobile (Canadian, so W8) by doing this:

downloaded boot.can.11-25-2014_16.21.img and renamed it to boot.img

downloaded FireKatN4CanadianV4.zipFireKatN4CanadianV4.zip

added boot.img to FireKatN4CanadianV4.zip with the linux command zip -rv FireKatN4CanadianV4.zip boot.img

used adb to push the modified FireKatN4CanadianV4.zip to my phone

went in to TWRP and did the advanced wipe as described in the original post

installed FireKatN4CanadianV4.zip

system reboot

and it worked!

It was a little shocking to get the Tmobile logo and startup sound on bootup!

The only thing I see so far that doesn't work is my Wind 'Manage Services' utility. It fails with the error 'Proactive command rejected by ME'

Also I notice that my model number is now SM-N910T instead of SM-N910W8

My baseband version still shows N910W8VLU1ANJ3

Any word about V5 coming out for us Canadians?

Edit: Bad news. After applying Mega's tweaks I got stuck in a bootloop. Had to restore from backup. I'm giving up on FireKat until V5 comes out for the W8. V4 isn't ready.

Going from one version to another...

Quick question--is one required to perform a clean flash when going from one version of firekat to another? A follow up--are you currently working towards pushing out v6 in the near future? I find resetting up my device after every flash tiresome, and I'm more than ok with v4 (great work, by the way), and I want to switch to v5, but if v6 is right around the corner, I'd like to hold off on having to reinstall all my apps all over again, twice. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmacd02:
Well..., not required but highly recommended. If you dirty flash and have problems, don't ask for solutions to problems you're having. Just do a clean flash. I also hate the extra setup time involved, but it's worth it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawdikrik:
As long as you stay with the same rom and don't make too many changes, you should be able to dirty flash. Just make you sure delete dalvik and cache after flashing.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RiverCity.45:
You can dirty flash, but if you do, you will not get full performance from this ROM. Don't believe me? See one person's experience @ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57184336

May as well not update if going to dirty flash, since most of the improvements are performance related and a dirty flash impairs those enhancements. Still don't believe me? Just ask the creator of the ROM (@megalomaniac14). He has explained this several times in the ROM's thread over in the developer section.

Logcat Errors and Warnings

Hey Love the ROM. Best ever until recently( most likely it still is and the issues I'm facing are something I've done?). I have been using since v3 with no issues. Recently updated to v5 and followed all instructions. Clean flash, etc. I did also pull my data from a v4 backup as well.

Lately I've been having random reboots. Re flashed twice and the same issue occurs, though I have not yet tried a clean flash without installing the v4 data yet.

Prior to having to re flash again (and pull the little hair I have left out..lol), I decided to try and look at my logcat, using Catlog so I can pinpoint issues to keep it from happening on future flashes. I don't really know much about logcat, but I certainly can tell that the multitude of E's & W's I'm getting can't possible be good. I'm also getting a crazy amount of debug logs (I's) and a few F's. I'm using wanam, xposed, greenify and touchlight modules. I also am using android Tuner Pro, but the extent of my use there is to change cfq to row. no task management, etc.

What I would like to know is some errors in the logcat normal..? And given the amount of issues I see in the logcat, could someone possibly help me in deciphering it so I can get my phone back on track? Also how long should one let the logcat run to get a good reading on issues?

One other thing, I did a system repair with TWRP a couple of days ago and also started utilizing the systemserver crash fix in wanam and have not experienced a reboot since then...and the phone seems to be running well, but the logcat tells me otherwise ... my baby seems to be suffering some internal injuries. Please help.

No way to prevent tripping knox, and no way to undo it either. Perhaps one day. For now, if you absolutely want warranty then it's probably best not to root. I waited 3 weeks to make sure phone, camera, etc all worked well and then I finally cracked and took the plunge :) Happy I did but it's a personal choice.

I tried it even though the OP said not to. It worked but I really don't suggest it. Everything was much slower, laggy, etc. I then did a proper full wipe and flashed v7...buttery smooth! If you dirty flash then at least make sure you don't post any issues in the thread!

No that file (in step 7) is flashed through TWRP recovery. Steps 1-3 are the only ones where you use Odin.

The file mentioned in Step 1 is the Stock version of the rom, not the Firekat version from step 7. They are two different files, so you'll need to make sure you have both before you begin.
