Same happens with the 20150201 nightly. Starting to wonder if I should do a clean wipe and install a fresh 0201.

When I do a backup in recovery it asks me to fix root. Then I select yes and it goes into a bootloop. I have cwm 6.0.5.1 installed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] fixe:
Same here!
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] MildlyRegularPerson:
In cm 11 it happened when I had supersu binaries installed, but I didn't get a bootloop.

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

Maybe cwm 6.0.5.1 isn't fully compatible with cm 12?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] fixe:
Maybe i was not precise enough: My phone stucks at the bootlogo of the s4. I also tried cwm 6.0.4.8 and twrp - same problem.

I have the supersu installed - may this be the problem? And if: how get i rid of it?

greetings
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] MildlyRegularPerson:
In cm 12 official nightlies you don't need to install supersu; there's an option which is called privacy guard. It manages root access. But I think it isn't the problem. For now don't choose fix root access option.

Cheers
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] fixe:
I also tried this (not to fix root access) - doesn't work - still stuck at bootlogo of the s4.

Also tried different versions of cm12, everytime with factory, system and data reset - no success. Reverting to cm11 backup.

Any suggestions how to install? Is it necessary to wipe the internal sd-card?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] DualJoe:
Make sure you once have updated to 4.4.x stock rom to have everything updated properly. If it still doesn't work look up bootlog with adb.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] fixe:
I'm currently running CM11 latest nightly, still necessary to install stock?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] chfarges:
Just had a reboot with 3101 version. I sent the log to slim solk.

By the way, is it now working to update via parameters and not manually flash from recovery?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
So, was running smoothly for a couple of days. A couple of random reboots, but I had those once a week on average with the CM11 version.

Now with this for whatever reason, the phone freezes when it's been idling screen off for a while. I mean I can have a notification light blinking, but if the phone's been idling for more than 15 minutes or so (25min so far the shortest I've noticed), the phone doesn't react or wake up anymore. Power button or home button don't help and the only thing is to either hold the power button for a boot or just remove the battery. The screen remains dark until I do one of these.

Started today so I'm currently in progress to see if it's JuiceDefender that might be causing it. Also my Wifi is forgotten by the phone all the time and I'm hoping it's also caused by JD. Odd thing is that while the wireless network is available, phone says I can't connect to it. Says "failed to add network" or something.

Flashing the 20150201 build now since the automatic updating doesn't work.

Today I noticed that when I reboot my device in 0201 version it goes into a bootloop. I managed to solve this by wiping cache. Then it shows the "upgrading android" message and boots fine, but when I reboot again it occurs another time.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
I had the same. But then wiped dalvik cache and I got forward.

Failed to Install To Latest Ver. 11-20150201-Nightly-i9100

Problem solved. I had the same problem after downloaded the latest version. I then try holding "volume up, home and power buttons", the file just installed by itself. Did a check on the version after installed and confirmed that it is the latest.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:

@solk2, since the second official build, Audio FX has no effect at all. Also when updating from cmupdater recovery outputs an error. If you need something, here I am.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
I would imagine in recovery dalvik is the same as ART. I mean the function probably is the same anyway.

Tried installing the 0202 build via cm updater, but once it gets to recovery, it just flashes some text and slowly reboots back to old version. I tried reading the error, but it goes away so quickly. Managed to read just "installation aborted" or something.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Mercypiece:
When doing clean install, for a while it looks like working, but cant input pincode. The screen goes black. Only notification bar works. Without simcard it doesnt go black, but obviously cant use phone. Previosly had samsung 4.4, which changed to cm 11, and now tried cm12. Had to go back to cm11. Just thought i should inform you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] fixe:
FYI:

I had the problems to install cm12 - after flashing the rom nothing happened and the phone didn't start.

After some hints to flash the original stock image with Android 4.4.2 two time i was able to boot the freshly installed cm12.

Thanks for your help!

CM12 runs good but still some stability issues - im sure you will solve it! :)

Thanks for your work!
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
Has anyone been able to use the cm updater (via settings, about phone, cm update) successfully? It never updates the phone when it gets to recovery. Just skips to rebooting and takes quite some time to start again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] tweeKpot:
solk2, it seems that swapping microphones in 20150203 has broken main smartphone function - voice calling.

Can't upgrade to cm12

Hi, I've been using cm11 nightlies on this phone since August with very few issues, however I've been unable to install any of the cm12 nightlies, which I've been trying since 20150131.

cmupdater always fails when trying to upgrade, I see logs complaining of not having recovery permissions when I try to send an error report. I've got solk2's CWM 6.0.4.8 installed and I've tried installing from there manually, each time I see a message that an ext4 partition is found, then when I try to reboot I get a warning about losing root (which I hear is normal behaviour for cm12), after that I just hang on the Samsung splash screen indefinitely. I've tried wiping cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, flashing from sd, adb sideload and formatting /system to no avail. Any method of flashing cm11 works without fail.

Any pointers would be appreciated as I' d really love to get to onto Lollipop and continue recieving cyanogenmod updates.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
Probably you need to update baseband. But you can send me last_kmsg after failed boot to me to be sure. You can retrieve it via adb from recovery.

So far I've only been able to download, start installing, get to recovery, but exit with and error and resume using with the original build I tried the updating from.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] CousinDell:
No, mine doesn't work. Haven't been paying attention to the installing process lately. Still on 20150126 :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] :
which recovery ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
I'm just curious whether it will be possible to update from 20150201 to a newer version at some point OR if there will be a minimum build version where this is possible from again. Like if I have to install a fresh 20150215 first before the updates work again.

Anyone tried with a 6.0.5.1 CWM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] MildlyRegularPerson:
In latest build, there's a new option in developer options called "Update CM Recovery" which installs the recovery version which has the build. I thougt it would update to cwm 6.0.5.4 but it installs another recovery called Cyanogen Recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
And how's that?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] MildlyRegularPerson:
I wouldn't install it if I were you. It's like a stock recovery, you don't have option to make backups or install roms. You can install it by going to settings, tapping on developer options and then choosing update cm recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
Will skip it then. There may be a reason for it in the long run, but until the automatic updates CM Updater in settings works, I will stick to my guns. Have you been able to use the updater to go from build to build? For example from 20150204 to 20150205 or does it still require a fresh ROM flash?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] MildlyRegularPerson:
It works fine for me. Do you have 4.4 bootloader and modem installed?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] leo_bsb:

VPN not working

Anyone else having trouble with VPN? I have a Nexus 7 (2013) with the same build and openvpn works flawlessly there, so this bug seems to be spesific to ks01lte. Since openvpn connects, but no data going through the tunnel, perhaps there's something wrong with the routing?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] chfarges:
Hi! Samsung released stock lollipop for i9506. Is there a benefit to install it and then install solk's CM12?

Indeed, this may be a newbee question but does something remain from previous install if data / factory reset and format /system and cache and dalvik wipe are applied? For instance, is the modem from stock preserved or something else?

Bye!
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Hexalon:
I tried stock 5.01 but didn't see any benefits doing so. The modem is preserved beacuse CM doesn't flash it.

I considered going stock again, but I really can't stand touchwiz. The battery capacity was better with stock than the current CM12. I'm running CM12 in my nexus 7(2013) and it works perfectly. Perhaps because it's a nexus device?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] MildlyRegularPerson:
Since 0207 audio is pretty buggy. When I unlock my phone, it makes a strange sound.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] cxxzlflo:
WiFi MAC issue

From what I have been able to gather the issue is caused by the way CM loads WNIC firmware. It will load the specific firmware based on the devices MAC address as opposed to stock Samsung firmware which includes only the appropriate firmware image.

On stock Samsung Android the devices WiFi MAC will be set to whatever is stored in /efs/wifi/.mac.info but this behaviour is missing in CM. It does, however, work for bluetooth (read from /efs/bluetooth/bt_addr). Looking at the code and dmesg-output it is evident that /efs/wifi/.mac.info is indeed parsed; any dissonance between the OTP/"burned-in" MAC and /efs/wifi/.mac.info yields a notice in dmesg to correct this. WiFi will work fine either way, using the OTP MAC.

Trying to change the MAC by software means (ifconfig wlan0 hw ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX) or with apps like "Pry-Fi" does not work either; the "spoofed" MAC is used (apparent in router/AP logs) but any connection will fail as "Authentication problem". As MAC-based tracking is not very hard to do (retailers do track their customers this way) and no special equipment is necessary not being able to change ones WiFi MAC is very discouraging when juxtaposed with CMs more privacy-minded features (app permissions, etc).

Is there any way to solve this?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Maxx Power:
Try completely turning off your phone before you flash the new rom (not just rebooting into recovery).
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
It will work only if someone will modify it to support block based flashing, then it will work.

Yes. You need new recovery.

Please send me last_kmsg after reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
I don't know about backups. But it supports installing rom and stuff.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] Hexalon:
I am using the official openvpn client, not anything integrated in CM. My nexus 7 is using the latest CM12 nightly and it works perfectly with the official openvpn client. As mentioned, on my ks01lte openvpn connects, but no apps are able to push data through the tunnel.

Are you sure there's nothing wrong with routing?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] leo_bsb:
I'll try later, now I had to migrate to samsung 5.0.1 because I need a working phone for the week.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] cxxzlflo:
I thank you for replying to my post. I usually power down+pull the battery before them booting into recovery (to flash CM) anyway; yet I fail to see how this could, in any way, affect the way bcmdhd loads WNIC firmware and then sets the MAC address?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
Then CM using something different from openvpn. I don't know if routing, firewall is correct or not coz I don't have nowhere to test it. And don't have much time currently to set up openvpn server.

This could be selinux issue with vpn. Please post logcat. Maybe there will be something that will give clue on this.

You don't necessarily need to download it manually. Once you get the error message in recovery, you should be able to directly use the "install zip" function, and select the downloaded zip from where cmupdater downloaded it. The update then processed as usual.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
I use the OTA for downloading, then move from internal storage to external SD card, enter CWM and install zip from there. Reason for SD card as source is that I like to keep roms there "just in case" anyway.

I am having the same problem. Phone is currently running the latest cm11 and working fine. boot into recovery flash cm12 + gapps, reboot and select yes to fix root and then phone hangs at boot screen. It displays the "SECURE FAIL: KERNEL" like it always does (like it should do) but then nothing else happens. I can boot back into recovery and restore my cm11 backup without problems.

My phone is running CWM 6.0.4.8 recovery and has the (4.2.2?) bootloader without KNOX (phone has never executed KNOX bootloader or KNOX image) and as I said, works fine with latest cm11.

Any suggestions welcome :)

UPDATE: I tried flashing the latest arter97/temasek rom+kernel instead, and that booted! (but I would preferr to run the "official" CM builds)​
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] MildlyRegularPerson:
Does audio fx work for any of you?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] audhulma:
It might be a problem of bootlader... Samsung changed the bootloader with 4.4, so you might need this one, i.e. flash a samsung kitkat ROM with Odin, then a recovery once the new bootloader is in place (once the samsung rom was successfully flashed), then go through the process described in the first post of this thread for the actual install of this ROM.

I had a similar problem when the first nightly was released for cm12, and switched to [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2332422]temasek[/MENTION] 's version, which worked out of the box, and after reinstalling an "official" Samsung ROM, and the bootloader that comes with it, this ROM booted properly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
If having problems switching over from CM11, try this:

0.1) Make sure to have 4.4 bootloader.

1) Go to CWM (if not working with 6.0.5.1, try 6.0.4.8 which is the one I use).

2) Do a system format from "mounts and storage" menu in CWM. There's "format /system".

3) Use the "Wipe date/cache" in CWM.

4) Flash CM12 ROM and GApps in order.

5) Reboot.

5.1) If not booting up properly, do a Dalvik cache wipe via "advanced" menu in CWM.

5.2) Reboot.

If this doesn't get your i9506 to reboot with CM12... :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] tlund:
I absolutely, positively do not want to install a KNOX bootloader to void the warranty on my phone. :)

My thinking here is that the fact that the arter97/temasek rom/kernel works perfectly with the 4.2 non-KNOX bootloader indicates that this is something that can be fixed in the solk2/official ROM, if someone can just figure out what is going wrong, right? I think there might be more people like me out there, not wanting to void the warranty on a company phone, but still wanting to run the official cm12 image.
