Just did this as well. Going to see how it goes tomorrow.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dagobert88:
I was trying to install a custom rom on my phone . I made a backup of my system using the phones recovery mode. After that i tried installing the rom, but i was told that i can only install the rom with clock work Mode (CWM) installed on my device. So i installed the CWM and went ahead to install the rom. As it turned out the rom was not compartible with my phone so the phone started bool looping (freezing at manufacture logo). Sensing danger i went back to restore my old operating system using the backup i made earleir only to realize that i couldnt install it. That was because i made the made the backup using the recovery mode of the stock rom and as such CWM could use that backup. Now am stuck with a soft bricked phone.

I have a few choices.

1. Get CWM out of the phone and use the recovery mode of the stock rom to restore my system.

2. Install a compartible custom rom on my phone and take off from there.

Can anyone help me out with a way that i can get back to the recovery mode of my stock rom or better still how to remove clock work mode from the phone.

Or alternatively a custom rom that will work with my phone. Am using a mediatek device and after searching for some time i have realised that there are very few roms out there that actually work with mediatek devices. If anyone can suggest one for me, i would be very grateful.

PHONE:

Mediatek 6572

Viwa max running on android 4.2.2

I have tried flashing back the stock recovery using a scater file and Sp flash tools, but it stucks at download section for a long time without starting. If i could get a working custom Rom i would be very happy. Thanks in advance.

Hey bro,

If you want a custom rom for your device i could help you but i would need some files
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyjen23:
do you have a stock rom for this device?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhenax:
I've been searching for a dock clock with a large font, that can display using most of the screen. My current app of choice is Clock ICS (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moblynx.clockics) because it can bypass my lock screen, uses Roboto font, and works . I have it displayed automatically at night, and since my device is locked, it opens without any problems. However, I've realized that most of my screen real estate is not being used.

I've looked at other clocks with big fonts, but they can't bypass the lock screen.

I should also mention that I really like the Roboto font (yay ICS)

I am currently running 4.4.4 Kitkat. Thanks.

2015 March

Nordic countries

5.0.1

I9295XXUDOB4

I9295NEEDOB4

I9295XXUDOB4

Found this right now :)

Please do something awesome with it :D
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] idufour:
Can I put this Rom in my I9295? Is MK4 Baseband still running 4.2 :(
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] LayerEight:
It can be flashed on all I9295 with Odin, no matter where you are or where you bought your phone, but the currently available version I9295XXUDOB4 is probably optimized for Nordic Union (Sweden), so it might give some problems in other regions with radio (mobile radio AND maybe WiFi).

Downgrades to official versions before 5.0.1 (i.e. 4.2.2 ort 4.4.2) are impossible. So please think about it twice or just wait till a official version for your region is available.

A other option would be, that one will release modem-patches from the I9505 version. There are more Lollipop releases available for the I9505 and the modem of S4 and S4A are the same. But this option depends on available patches...
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tpetran:
I flashed it over CNE5 4.4.2. and WI-FI didn't work. Downgraded with Odin back to CNE5, no problems.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] LayerEight:
OK, dowgrade from official 4.4.2 to official 4.2.2 is not working - as far as i know.

Thanks for this usefull information!

Have you loose your data in upgrade / downgrade operations?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] VIPNobie:
I read in the S4 i9505 thread that in order to downgrade back to KK, the BootLoader file should not be flashed. Can anyone confirm?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] propov:
Nothing loose.And Wi Fi is working for me.My region is East Europe (Bulgaria).But after flash wifi working very bad.I see networks but it cant connect.Hard reset and everything is fine now..
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] LayerEight:
Sartana :

Knox is present like in 4.4.2 but its not functional. Dont worry about Knox :thumbup:

Propov Do you mean factory reset with hard reset?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tofanpc:
flashed over 4.4.2 XXUCNE5 germany. everything is working great: data (3G-4G), gps, wifi, bt headset. My personal opinion: smoother than 442. Looking forward to see battery life.

now I use the phone in eastern europe and it's ok. yesterday root gained with this metod but read next posts too
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] ewa12321:
[MENTION=5251670]LayerEight[/MENTION] what do you mean that knox is not functional? It can't be trigerred/changed to 0x1 by modifications? Can you please short explain?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] LayerEight:
This is the screen of Downloadmode with I9295 4.2.2 Bootloader: http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...tung-galaxy-s4-active-2013-09-27-21.40.47.jpg

Found here (unroot manual): http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-cu...-i9295-unroot-anleitung-galaxy-s4-active.html

This is the screen of Downloadmode with I9295 4.4.2 Bootloader with Custom Recovery and Custom Rom installed:

As you can see, ive installed Custom Recovery and Custom Rom, which should make Knox Status result in 0x1, right? Knox is implemented in the bootloader since the official Samsung 4.4.2 roms, but it seems that its not fully functional in the I9295.

And this is the screen of Downloadmode with I9295 5.0.1 Bootloader with Stock Rom installed: http://www.android-hilfe.de/attachm...udob4-5-0-1-nee-i9295-5.0.1-downloadmodus.png

Information is based on this Post also from Darkman, you can see there isnt Knox 0x0/0x1 Status information in download mode like it is in other Samsung phones with active Knox.

Darkman wrote, Knox is still not fully functional in 5.0.1. He also wrote there are just a few Knox APKs in the official Samsung 5.0.1 rom implemented.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] sartana:
Flashed over custom Rom (pacman 4.4.2), wi-fi don't work after wipes too.

Data works whitout problem.

Try to flash official 4.4.2 ITV (italian) whit odin, don't boot. mhh.

Flash again LP, wi-fi works, i have all data like no other rom was installed (flash of 4.4.2 don't wipe nothing seems).

Then , just to try, i wipe data from samsung options.

Reboot, and all works .
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] LayerEight:
Seems your phone was delivered with 4.2.2, right? And you never installed a official Samsung 4.4.x or 5.x rom befor, right?

Your WiFi was not working with a Official-Samsung-ROM-BASED 4.4.2 , because these custom Roms most of the time do not flash a compatible bootloader or modem for 4.4.2. In some cases (like CyanogenMod), the rom is compatible with 4.2.x, 4.4.x and maybe 5.x bootloaders and modems.

Befor you are installing a Custom Rom which is based on official Samsung roms, you have to flash a official rom first. The reason is: Official Roms do also a update of the bootloader and modem software. Most of the time, samsung based roms need a compatible bootloader and modem (rom, bootloader and modem should be the same version number).

As is said, be careful. Downgrade from 4.4.x bootloaders to 4.2.x bootloaders will not work, while downgrade from 5.x to 4.4.x seems to work or bootloaders/modems of both (bootloader and modems) may be compatible.

Next thing is: Not all modems of a version (lets say 4.4.x) are compatible to all samsung based roms of a version (lets say 4.4.x). In this case, you have to flash compatible modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin and maybe a patch.

But, this is a bit OffTopic :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] baxxxx:
Flash the upgrade over stock 4.4.2 (root+cwm). Dirty install without wipes, all data and apps are ok. Wifi works.

The only problem is here drive is disappeared. I try to reinstall it from google play, but during the installation I have error -505.

But anyway I'm very satisfied for this upgrade.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jason8612:
I flashed this over 4.4.2 stock (rooted +cwm) and wifi doesn't work. I did do a factory wipe before and after the install.

Reflashing 5.0.1 again and will see is that works.

EDIT: Reflash seemed to fix the wifi. Now time to play areound with the phone :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] sartana:
Justo to clearify, then i'll stop OT

Phone came whit 4.2.2 Italian.

Then i flash some custom rom, CM based on 4.2 android version

Then i flash original firmware 4.4 NL, when it came out. First time wi-fi problem , reflash and no problem. (like this morning)

Then i flash some custom's rom, CM based 4.4

Then i try to flash a tw custom rom, 4.4, and don't boot, so i flashed whit odin 4.4 (as you said , bootloader trouble) and then custom TW rom.

Then i Downgrade to 4.2.2 , to see if it was possible. No problem.

Then return to Pacman 4.4

Then use CM12

Then use MultiRom , whit Pacman and Slim rom (cm12 based) on internal memory

And today i flash official sammy LP.

You can say i try every rom, official or not. Some problems but solved very soon.

For the fact that downgrade to 4.2 it's not possible...i'm not a dev, but i try and it work form me.

Maybe remain some trouble? don't know, i do it only to test, and i'll do only to bring the phone for warranty.

that's all

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] bbstrikesagain:
All good here

4.2.2 I9295XXUBML2/I9295OJVBMK1 from May 2014, UAE version, on phone as new

4.4.2 I9295XXUCNH2/I9295BTUCNH1 from Sept 2014, UK version, flashed via odin3_3.09

5.0.1 I9295XXUDOB4/I9295NEEDOB4 from Mar 2015, Nordic version, flashed via odin_3.10.0

No factory reset along the way, all history brought along for the ride, just made some storage space before proceeding.

4.2.2 sucked, laggy, didn't get the best out of the hardware.

4.4.2 sucked worse, no real performance gain, and all the added KK niggles.

5.0.1 working perfectly for me, like a new supercharged phone, RAM holding up better, app start instant, no more lags, great benchmarks. Glad I didn't wait 4 months or more again. When UK version appears I'll odin that too to get back on official OTA updates.

Your results may differ...

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS and DOWNLOADS

Installation for 5.1.X (Candy5 V2.X):

Download Candy5.zip

Download 5.1 Gapps (optional)

Place Candy5.zip on phone's memory or SD card

Boot into recovery. You need a newer version for lollipop. Tested with TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery linked below.

Make a nandroid backup.

Make sure you're on one of these radios or newer for now: I727:UCMC1|I727R:UXUMA7

Full wipe (Dalvik Cache, Cache, System, Factory Data Reset)

Flash Candy5.zip

Flash GApps if desired ***

Reboot, and let the ROM boot up and settle for 5-10 minutes.

Enjoy!

Issues?

Post a logcat on Pastebin, link to it here, and provide as many details as possible, such as ROM version, GApps used, radio/modem, cell provider, or anything relevant to the problem or how to duplicate the issue.

​

TWRP Recovery:

TWRP 2.8.7.0 with F2FS support in IMG, TAR and ZIP formats. Thanks to [MENTION=5795145]javelinanddart[/MENTION] for compiling these.

5.1.X:

ROM:

candy5-release.v4.1-20151030-UNOFFICIAL-skyrocket.zip

Don't use the BasketBuild OTAs just yet. I'll un-hide the link when the OTA builds are good again:

Candy ROMs are now built weekly and can be found in the CandyRoms BasketBuild Skyrocket folder

GApps:

Use TK PIco GApps from AndroidFileHost | BasketBuild

(Main TK GApps thread on XDA)

(*** You may use a 5.1 GApps package of your choice, but be wary of large GApps packages. It's normally better on the Skyrocket to install a very small GApps package and get the rest of the Google Apps from the Play Store...)

Please give first boot several minutes to complete.

* If you use Hangouts Dialer and find you lose audio after using it, you can try flashing this audio patch. (Credit goes to [MENTION=2107489]bryan2894[/MENTION].)

=================

Previous builds have been removed from here, but they're still on my AndroidFileHost.com account or CandyRoms' AndroidFileHost.com account.

Mass storage

Is there a hidden selection for mass storage so i can connect to pc?

I've tried debug and going into storage ,selecting usb connect. No luck.

Thanks ahead

Is the theme engine working? Im on KK and I yust want to be sure this rom is working fine on phone/sms functions.

Can I install this rom using Sultan kernel v1.6.4? Can the BLN funtion be enabled?

Sorry for my bad english, Im trying :D

cant apply TWRP recovery and the candy rom..

it says

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

anyone solve this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
Need alot more info

Where you already rooted,if so with what recovery.Twrp of phhilz ,ect ( see Vincom's page at beginning of development page BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING } Did you install rom from TWRP or from phone itself with a rom manager or reboot to recovory. You also could have download bad file. Have you installed a custom rom before and what recovery did you use and what rom are you running.. Sorry about the questions but it really helps everyone here to help you. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
You need to be rooted to install a custom recovery. [MENTION=4057370]vincom[/MENTION]'s Skyrocket One-Stop Reference Sticky is linked in my signature, and has everything you need for rooting, recovery, flashing, radios, and even the stock ROMs to reset your device to stock.

I have installed and tested both TWRP and the ROM myself, so I know both are OK.

Yes, all good questions and points, thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
usb connect

Anyone else with usb too pc connection problem or workaround?

I tried apps on play store ,still no connection.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
seems like you tried using stock recovery to install, fail!

read my sticky as others have suggested on installing custom recovery.

if thats not ur case then more info on what ur steps were would be helpful.

sorry NoSpamDan but root is "not" needed for installing a custom recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Did you enable MTP in storage options?

Yes, buddy, you are absolutely correct. Pushing with Odin is what I normally use... :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
No option for MPT in storage, just connect too usb -that doesn't do anything when selected.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Ok thanks. I'll be looking at power off charging code later and will look at the storage options too.

What's the Play Store issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Steveromingagain:
No playstore problem

I found some apps that force mass storage but they didnt work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
NEW BUILD!

OK, here we go...

An updated build has been posted in the ROM download link in the OP. I think you guys are gonna like this! ;)

It includes:

BLN (Button Light Notificaiton) support, and it can be disabled if you want in the Settings menu! (Sorry no per-app control right now.) Thanks to [MENTION=4779996]gimmeitorilltell[/MENTION]!

Power-off charging is fixed, along with animated images during charge. So if your phone dies, you can charge it back up without issue!

App2sd is back!

GO GET SOME YUMMY CANDY! :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Atari-San:
Hi NoSpamDan, i saw you made a Candy Rom build which i think was very cool when i tested it on Kitkat last year. So i decide to get this one instead of Slim LP. Would it be possible to have both roms support the new partition layout ? Thank for your hardwork. Hope you continue for some more great update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sealy64:
This is the only time I've seen this happen. I'm the original owner. If it occurs again, I'll try to get more info.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] franzpimp87:
Is there a way to get rid of the part of the script that causes (or whatever causes it) "patching system image unconditionally" when flashing this ROM??

There's a way to repartition and get 1.2GB on System with a PIT file; when I installed Validus LP ROM and the Gapps I want, it works; but when I do the same with this Candy 5 ROM, it doesn't let me install those Gapps because after flashing Candy 5, System turns to the stock space.

I'm using latest TWRP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Natureboyhcg:
I have had similar battery issues as well I just figured battery must need replacing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sealy64:
Battery - cont'd

[MENTION=1598619]Natureboyhcg[/MENTION] - Did you see the problem repeatedly over a long period of time? I have seen it just once. It happened to be right after I backed up Candy5, flashed Slim for temporary testing, and then restored Candy5 an hour or so later, although I have no idea whether that influenced it. I found it very odd that it started discharging several hours after being plugged in continuously, and then it started charging again as soon as I unplugged and replugged, using the same cable, receptacle, etc.

For now I am just watching to see whether it happens again. If it looks like hardware is the problem, would it more likely be the battery, the cable, the phone itself, ...?
