Getting back to Stock

Hi Guys,

I want to sell my S4, but I need to get back to Stock before I do that.

I've downloaded "I9505XXUHOB7_I9505XEOHOB3_I9505XXUHOB7_HOME.tar.md5" from samsung-updates.com

I'm trying to flash it using Odin 3.07, and I'm getting:

<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Initialzation..
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/004> There is no PIT partition.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

Any ideas on how to properly flash that ROM ?

This has nothing to do with this ROM development. Go to a general s4 Q&A section.

I just tried to get the problem you are having and it does not happen me, maybe a full wipe? Turn off live display maybe?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] szafran81:
Thanks for your "help".

You're asking in the completely wrong place. You're welcome for the help.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] szafran81:
I was having problems getting back from THIS ROM to the Stock ROM - so let's agree to disagree.

Anyways nevermind - allready fixed it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jd1001:
Still the wrong thread. This is a development thread not a how do I get back to stock ROM thread.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AntaresOne:
Man we have some rules that everyone must respect, this absolutely isn't the right place to ask for how go back to stock ROM. You can't ask wherever you like only because you used this ROM.

"Thanks for your "help"" is impolite too... Got the point now?

Slow charging

Hi,

is anyone else experiencing slow charging times?

I did a full wipe before updating but since switching to CM12 my charging times are painfully slow.

Takes 4+ hrs for a full charge...

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] RDoughBoy:
Charging is fine for me. Are you using the stock Samsung charger? You can use an app called Ampere from the play store to measure how much your charger is putting out. It should be 1900mA with the stock charger.

Did a full wipe, reinstalled cm12 with gapps. It's only getting worse!

You might want to consider going back to TW stock then see if this certain problem still happens. If it does show all those green lines and flickering on stock, then it's not CM12 and most definitely not Stock TW. Its your phone. Also, what firmware base are you using? Hope you don't mind me asking.

Bluetooth Issues

Great Rom and the battery life is amazing, but hands free Bluetooth when connecting to my car does not work. It cuts in and out.

I did read about older versions of this rom with the same issues,and for me sadly the same with the latest build.

Does anyone know of a fix for this?

I tested it out with different roms. Even in recovery i get green lines. Seems like my phone is broke. Tested it with google ROM tw ROM and cm12.

No luck. Think its a hardware problemen :( :( :(

This sucks so bad. Well now iam gonna keep my eyes open for a new phone :(

Thx for the help. If you know what rhe problem is or anything els, please let me know. Maybe some of you know witch hardware is the problem maybe i can replace it.

Can one hint me: I installed CM12 on my SGS4 where I have a 64 GB external SD-Card.

Now I notice that this sdcard is read only. In Terminal (through SSH, as root user) I get always read-only file system for a try to delete or rename a file:

1|root@jfltexx:/storage/sdcard1 # ls -al
-rwxrwxr-x root sdcard_rw 10 2015-03-23 00:05 test.txt
root@jfltexx:/storage/sdcard1 # rm test.txt
rm: test.txt: Read-only file system
1|root@jfltexx:/storage/sdcard1 #

This is my storage folder:

root@jfltexx:/ # ls -al /storage/
dr-xr-xr-x root root 2015-04-05 15:16 emulated
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2015-04-05 15:18 extSdCard -> /storage/sdcard1
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2015-04-05 15:14 sdcard0 -> /storage/emulated/legacy
drwxrwxr-x root sdcard_rw 2015-04-05 11:55 sdcard1
drwx------ root root 2015-04-05 11:55 usbdisk

I tried a lot now with a init.d script which is not working and then a tasker task done on boot but the external SD-card remains Read-Only.

I thought with Android 5 the restriction to write on external sd was partly removed and anyway on CM there is no such silliness?

I would like to give permission 777 to the whole ext. sdcard, as I don't need any restrictions. I hate this in my case useless permissions and restrictions. This is many hours now, that I struggle with this issue and I dont see land.

Possible?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] stephendt0:
Backup and reformat your card? I have no such issue. I had an SD card do this to me once but it turned out to be faulty.

I for one am having very few issues with my SGS4 right now... which is weird, and great :good: I think a donation is in order!

Hows the latesy nightly so far? Having bluetooth issues on 3/27 build. It turns off after playing one song. Then reconnecr again, then after another song it would turn off again
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nextrow:
Yeah, youre right. I will bring it to the store and see what is wrong with it. Hopefully it won't be to expensive!

I read on the Internet that more ppl got this problem. Not only with the s4 but s3, Note.

So it is definitely a hardware issue! Tried a few roms, kernels, RIL, baseband and different versions, Kitkat and lollipop. Still no luck. I found out that it was a hardware issue because the same green lines I got in recovery and even when my phone is off with the batt logo. Still the same green lines. So it's not cm12 related! Wait, that means this is the wrong thread!! :o

When brightness is up by 80% no green lines.

The only fix that I could find was go to the store and get it fixed, lool.

Thanks for the help, it's being appreciated! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] no1adamg:
when i changed my screen i got a green line down the middle but if i press on and twist the phone a little it goes away i think its a connection thing just havent got around to opening it up again to play with the flex cable, maybe if you strip it down give it a clean could help, i dont know if this will help you good luck
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] nextrow:
I will first go to the store, and see how expensive it is. If it is, I will open it up myself and see what is wrong with it!

thank! Checked and repaired it in Windows for some hours an now working again! Weird!

Didn't expect this so searched in totally wrong direction.

I noticed after your hint that there were lot of strange files undeletable, on Mac I couldn't delete on xp Windows it worked.

More than 2 gb files in the lost folder, deleted while repairing.

Thanks for open my eyes in this direction :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] trooperjohn:
This may be a major noob question but it's been a while since I flashed a custom ROM, would I have to wipe data to be able to flash this properly, I'm currently running CM11.

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jd1001:
I always wipe data/cache/system when coming to a new ROM. Just to make sure you iron out any problems caused by dirty flashing.

This is from the OP

First time flashing CyanogenMod 12.0 on your device, or coming from another ROM?

1 - Download the zip(s)

2 - Install a compatible Recovery

3 - Perform a nandroid backup of your current ROM (Optional)

4 - Wipe data/factory reset

5 - Flash CyanogenMod

6 - Optional: Install the Google Apps addon package

7 - Reboot

I wonder if would put to show green light only when this full charge? or else an option for that. Thank U!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] NZgeek:
CM has shown the green LED at 90% for a long time, and the reason has to do with the way that lithium batteries charge.

It's actually quite dangerous to charge a lithium battery. As they get closer to full charge, they're more and more likely to explode from extra charging. Lithium batteries almost always contain circuitry that controls charging, slowing it down if needed.

In general, the charging circuit lets the batteries fast charge up to about 90%. It then starts reducing the charge current, until it's just a trickle when the battery is almost full. This means that charging the last 10% can take quite a long time.

This is why CM shows the green light at 90%. It shows that the phone has a good amount of charge, but doesn't make you wait for that slow last 10%. If you're regularly in situations where that extra 10% counts, you should probably start looking at an extended or spare battery.

When you have CM11 installed with the associated Gapps installed, if you dirty flash to CM12, the Gapps crashed for me, I had to wipe, install CM12, then install the correct Gapps. I have dirty flashed ever since.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] stephendt0:
Wrong place to ask. This has nothing to do with the development of CM12 on the i9505. Try the Q&A section, or just a simple google search.

I noticed this with a call today but I think it was an issue with their end. I call landlines regularly and it is rare but every once in a while I'll see it happen. I would be surprised if it had anything to do with your device.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] r0ckarong:
Have you gone to Settings->Buttons->Backlight and checked that "Illuminate buttons" is on? Maybe try turning it off/on again and set the timeout to something else. This seems to help me when a setting is stuck in a broken state sometimes.

Smart Lock not working with location

For a while now Smart Lock does no longer react to my location. I have the body detection feature turned on and that works fine.

I've set my home address with my Google account and it's properly configured as before but the device simply won't update the location and unlock the phone.

It used to check my location every couple of minutes (I could see that from a GPS icon flashing in the status bar) and would keep the phone unlocked while I was at home or closeby. Now it simply does nothing.

Any ideas? GPS works fine in Maps, HERE and GPS status. Location is set to "High Accuracy".
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jd1001:
It might have something to do with this issue: Issue #79735: Smart lock feature (trusted face/device) not working when screen is turned off using software screen off command (DevicePolicyManager.lockNow)

In short: Smart lock breaks when any app uses "soft power off", i.e. your screen is turned off by an app or in any way except the hardware button or a normal timeout.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] r0ckarong:
The weird thing is if I set a new location (not Home) that is a few meters away (neighbors house number) it works fine. Just the "Home" location that is tagged with (From Google Maps) does not seem to work.

SuperSU is not included into CM, because CM has his own integrated SU managing... not needed to install SuperSU...

Thank! That is the # sign! I understand.

Now I already flashed SuperSU, I hope that this is not a problem of interfering with the integrated SU managing?

I prefer the SuperSU (pro) app management of SU, though.

If I only found a way to pre-allow the su of an app...

unfortunately with much less frequentation and therefore much less answeration :(
