Hi, currently I'm using Philz Recovery, but when I flash over to TWRP 3.0.2, my recovery will no longer boot. It will get stuck at the Samsung logo. My device is compatible, but I'm not sure what is going on here. Help me please.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] simonsalo:
Are we all good to use this current recovery 3.0.2 based on CM 13 with your new CM 14.1 ROM? Also booting into recovery I do get the "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" message but everything works fine. Note: I am still using the stock 5.0.1 ROM and intend to flash your CM 14.1 soon. Cheers.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] JohnMcClane1htc:
This message is normal. If you flash a custom recovery (twrp) to install a custom ROM, that message will appear.

Show you information that you have changed the stock rom.

Don't worry about that.

Regards!

test version more recent?

The test version of your TWRP is dated 1/10/16. It is more recent but still the same version number. What is the difference? Should we use this one or the may version?

Hi there,

i have published a new build this is the changelog

So long!
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Diapolo:
[MENTION=4489432]CastagnaIT[/MENTION] Thanks for the update, I was able to decrypt /data, but the process is a little weird!

The initial dialog "Enter Password." does NOT decrypt /data, but I was able to decrypt later on.

Here are the steps:

1. Cancel "Enter Password." dialog.

2. "Swipe to Allow Modifications"

3. goto "Mount"

4. select "System"

5. Press "Decrypt Data"

6. "Enter Password." and press accept et voila

So the process is strange and also the error about unmounting /system, but at least I'm then able to access /data and also /data/media/0 very nice!

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] CastagnaIT:
good to know!

but you can let me say if there's same issue in this version?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Diapolo:
I was using version from 20/11/2016, so that report is valid for the recent version of your TWRP flavor.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Stokel:
Sorry for the stupid question.

But can I update to CastagnaIT's version, use the roundabout way of Diapolo to do a backup and then update to CM14?

Or should I stay on the latest official twrp and update to CM14 and see if decryption works then.

Does anyone have had any experiences with CM14, encryption and backup?

Hi friends,

I'm sorry to announce that my i9506 is definitely broken,

i think that gsm/lte chipset corrupted or/and internal sdcard damaged sectors,

Initially, the data network although active did not transmit the data, occurred also hard reboot with mmc errors

after various test to reflash lineageos and samsung stock, always not end the boot screen or/and reboots at pin screen etc... :(

now i think to buy an used samsung G930F, in any case for a while i'll be out of the games.

(on the homepage i have writed basic information so you can compile the TWRP with my sources)

It was great to be able to help the community,

Device:Micromax a27 bolt

Board:spreadtrum

Android version:2.3.5

Problem: Device not recognizing after flashing stock rom.

I was recently having some problems with my device.So i thought to flash stock rom.

But flashing the ROM with flasher was unsuccessful but i found a update.zip which could be flashed using fastboot.

Then flashed the rom with fastboot but then i inserted SIM CARD and it was not recognised by the device.

I thought the IMEI would be missing but i used imei write tool.

When clicked READ IMEI then i was showing my device actual IMEI but there's no IMEI number.

I checked *#06# its still not showing the IMEI and SIM card in not recognizable.

Need some suggestions fast.:confused:
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anonymous 360:
Many of you have trouble changing to another version to get lollipop update or downgrading to kitkat.

Here are some tips:

To downgrade or to change version eg. Global (xt1063 Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuglb.retuglb.en.US) to US (xt1063 Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US) follow the codes below while flashing using fastboot cmd

NB: make sure you are going to flash the same version (global/Us/etc....) of firmware while downgrading!

:

fastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin

fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img

fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

fastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

fastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

fastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

fastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot.exe erase modemst1

fastboot.exe erase modemst2

fastboot.exe flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot.exe erase cache

fastboot.exe erase userdata

Now, to upgrade to lollipop agai from the flashed version, follow these steps:

after downgrading, go to bootloader, install twrp 2801 and flash supersu2.16 (that means, root your device ! ))

reboot and copy your lollipop update file (same variant) to the internal storage

now, again go to bootloader and flash the recovery: Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Now go to recovery and select your lollipop update... ta-da....

explanation:

After entering recovery node, Press the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons for around 5 seconds. Now while holding those two, press and release the Power button.

Your device will now be booted into stock recovery mode, displaying Android System Recovery <3e> text at the top of the screen.

apply adb trougt sdcard.... select file AND WAIT TO THE PROCess to finish

You dont need to lock the bootloader at all :good: :good: :D

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisp6825:
Thank you for these instructions.

Is it really possible to downgrade? I was always under the impression that motorola did not allow rolling back to previous firmwares, unless the bootloader was not changed during the upgrade..

Also just to clarify, this does not require unlocking the boot-loader? (to down-grade; i see the steps to install a recovery for upgrade to lollipop)

I ask because most of these commands seem to be available to use with a locked boot-loader, from my experience (moto x). You state that the boot-loader does not need to be locked.. but this seems redundant.

Does it need to be UN-locked?

Sincerely,

confuddled.

Can i downgrade from android m to KitKat 4.4.4?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] GaT7:
Hi, similarly here (although I upgraded from a Y300).

Do a backup first [full backup if possible using the Android SDK. A nandroid (full image) backup may be impossible unless you root/unlock your phone & install CWM/TWRP recovery tools].

A microSD card is required.

You first need JB B132 next, which you can get from: http://huaweinews.com/2014/03/ascend-p6-b132-firmware/

Once done, you can upgrade to KK B510 from: http://huaweinews.com/2014/06/ascend-p6-b510-official/

You can stop here, if you like, but if you want the latest then carry on....

There are B512, B513, B606, B607 updates, but I went to KK B634 next, downloadable from: http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=26521&version=48526

And finally KK B635 from: http://consumer.huawei.com/tr/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=29262

The B634 & B635 updates are 'Turkish' updates (with a few minor changes), but if you only install 'Part 1' of each, the default is English. So unzip & only install/flash "Update.app" in 'Part 1' folders of each.

If you need update instructions, just ask.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] wards5150:
Thanks i will try when i get a bit of free time. Did you upgrade from b116? Read a few reviews saying kitkat roms are not worth the trouble. I was on cm11 on my g300 and liked that rom. Not rooted or installed a custom recovery on p6 yet. I'm sure i will in time though. Sticking with stock for now.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] GaT7:
Yes.

Which sites? Because KK works fine for me.

All the above are stock ROMs.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] wards5150:
Android pit and android central. The negative reviews seem to be on the early kitkat builds. Battery Life seems to be a big negative. I'll aim to go for b635 as you suggested. Ill let you know how it goes Thanks again for the confirmation that you went from b116.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] wards5150:
OK I'm now on b132. Seems very similar to the original rom which came on the phone. Would you recommend going to b510 or straight to b513. Both are on the supported software list as an upgrade from b132. Another question is the renaming of the zip file. The word document from the official rom does not mention anything about it. I have read on this forum others had to rename files. Which way did you upgrade? Sorry for all the questions don't want to brick my phone.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] GaT7:
It looks like B512 came after B513 & the former (i.e. B512) is 'better' apparently - see: http://huaweinews.com/2014/08/ascend-p6-b512/

As mentioned before, I went from B510 to B634, so missed the B512 update entirely.

All files I downloaded & updated with were named UPDATE.APP, so I didn't have to rename anything.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] wards5150:
Ok so now i am on b512. Upgrade went fine did not rename any files and all went through smoothly. Weird how some people have to mess around wit the files. Did what you suggested and as on the b512 instruction. Like the look of the new soft keys at the bottom. i was never a fan of that big grey bar.Home button seems laggy though. Ill let it settle and report back. Looks like there is a new rom b708 with emui 3.0 so might wait to see on reports from that. I doubt Huawei will go for lollipop on this pone but it would be nice.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] GaT7:
Oh right, I didn't know there was a new update already - did a search & found it at: http://xdaforums.com/ascend-p6/development/b708-emui-3-0-root-included-t2942550

Will be updating at some point depending on the responses.

I didn't notice any home button lag with B510, so perhaps only B512 has it? But I installed a third-party launcher almost immediately anyway, so didn't have much of a play with the stock Huawei interface.

Yes, you're probably right - they won't be releasing LP for the P6.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aablee:
I figure instead of pulling my hair out for three days wading through various methods and likely brick, I'd swallow my pride and ask.

Here's where I'm at: I rooted and flashed Carbon rom way back when, everything was working alright, but with time, things are slowly starting to come apart. Yesterday, it's come to the point it can't be ignored. My nightly is ridiculously out of date, but I just haven't wanted to mess with it anymore. I'm about ready to get a new phone and I want everything back to fresh stock to give to a family member. I don't know where to start and what instructions are applicable or out of date. Model: I747, Android version: 4.4.2

I think I'm done experimenting with the rooting business, it's been a ride. If I could get some clear instructions on getting this phone back to stock, I'd be eternally grateful.

Help me xda community, you're my only hope.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
What bootloader is on your phone? This is important to know before trying to get back to a stock ATT ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aablee:
Hey there, thanks for replying! Bootloader says I747UCUEMJB.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Since you are on an mjb bootloader, that means you had the ATT stock 4.3 ROM on the phone.

Unfortunately, ATT never realased a stock 4.3 ROM or 4.4.2 ROM. These were only available via OTA.

There was a thread where a stock mjb ROM was compiled for flashing in Odin, but for some members, the flash resulted in a bricked phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aablee:
I had a feeling that might be the case. What are my options here?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
I would install a custom recovery and flash a custom rom. There are custom ROMs based on stock Samsung ROMs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
This is the way to go. Since you most likely already have a custom recovery (assumed since you are running Carbon but verify first though), then it is just a matter of getting a new ROM. There are several custom TW ROMs based on 4.3 MJB. If you really want KK, you can flash the NE4 bootloader and modem along with a custom NE4 TW KK ROM. Please keep in mind that with both MJB and NE4 (KK) if you try to revert bootloaders, you will brick.

I am personally running S3RX 4.3 and have few to no issues other than what most people experience on stock anyway. Just have not had the time to move forward to KK as of yet.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aablee:
Okay, so the bootloader is 4.3, but the Android version in settings says 4.4.2, how does that fit together? Just trying to understand what all this works.

Recovery is currently ClockworkMod. Since I'm planning on giving it to family, I'd like something that is as stable as possible, nothing fancy needed. What ROM would fulfill those needs?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Sounds like you are running a custom KK ROM in order to be using the 4.3 bootloader. A stock KK ATT ROM will not run on a 4.3 bootloader.

Before flashing to a custom KK ROM, make sure you are running the latest CWM. Carbon is a good ROM and should have reached a milestone build.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
You are running the official 4.3 bootloader but an AOSP custom ROM. In the case of AOSP ROMs you can typically do this. As mention by audit13, if it was a custom ROM based off TW AT&T stock, you would only be able to run a modified TW 4.3 ROM.

---------- Post added at 08:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 AM ----------

You're trying to flash firmware correct ? If so, remove the recovery.img file from the firmware zip, rezip the file, rename to 0P6BIMG. Boot into bootloader,select hboot and let the magic be done
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Did you reboot RUU mode first: fastboot oem rebootRUU

Are you s-off?

Agreed. Although I don't think this would result in the error message given, it just seems wrong.

Suspect this may have to do with Windows having the setting enabled to hide the file extensions. If so I highly recommend to turn this off.
