[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Rootnub:
Hey, I need some help... I managed to flash and root (tutorial from page 4), I then installed Cyanogen Mod 12. Everything was fine, until one of the CM updates failed during install and CM went into bootloop. I can still get into download mode and PhilZ recovery, so I assume my phone isn't a lost cause. I however can't get Odin to flash my phone. I went into recovery, did a factory reset, cleared cache, dalvik cache and CM install. I then went to Odin and tried to flash 5.0.1, but no success. Currently my phone boots into the original Samsung splash screen (as opposed to the CM alien logo). Here's the log from Odin:

EDIT: Issue with Odin solved, swapped between different ports and cables for a while and it actually worked. But I still have a problem. The phone is not reading my SIM! Unless I get that fixed it's as good as useless... any ideas?

Who can help me. Thanks :(
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] dazzawill:
For those having problems restoring from sd card its because you need to run the sd card fix app the same as we had to in kitkat to make it writable from any app. Worked for me anyway.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] YoYoStevo:
Hmm that didn't work for me unfortunately.

Just wondering does anyone know how to stop the waterproof messages (when you remove the charger and when you turn the phone on it tells you to put the back on properly) and also to remove the S Finder and Quick Connect in the notification menu, I can't find a way to disable either.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Rootnub:
To add to this:

According to google the SIM-card slot is a common malfunction in the S4... is there any way to determine if the problem is hardware or software? If the whole thing is broken, the replacement method is quite simple and cheap. But if there's something wrong with the software instead, that would just be a waste.

SuperSU problem

HI there!

I am getting these red errors in Recovery while installing UPDATE-SuperSU-Pro-v2.46-Patched-By-Stewe.zip :(

E:footer is wrong

and

E:signature verification failed

There is an UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.69.zip what I accidentally installed and cannot remove it.

Enable Superuser - unticked

Reinstall - tried

Switch superuser app - tried

Full unroot - tried

After these trials Philz Recovery has disappeared

???

I would not mind the old (1.6.9) version but it does not work (apps -what needed permissions- are just thinking and doing nothing)

Any solution?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] YoYoStevo:
You need to use a custom recovery to flash Super SU, the stock one gives that error.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] kazan23:
Thanks YoYoStevo!

It seems I finally solved it but why my custom recovery disappeared? Have no glue...

(I think all the pains caused choosing a bad SU (old 1.6.9 from my PC) accidentally.

Now it is fine. :p

But, the real problem, where did the "long volume down press flashlight" go? I can not find it anymore, and it doesn't work anymore =(. Used it alot.

Hope somebody can help here ;)

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] YoYoStevo:
I already learnt that lesson! By the way I found out that you can go to your google play account and view the "all" apps and you'll see what apps you've downloaded! That helped me remember some ones I'd forgotten. :D

While I never had that ability in the last ROM I used (it was custom) I had the flashlight on the lock screen as a widget and I miss it. So yeah if anyone has any solutions that'd be great! As a temporary fix you could add a widget to your home screen, which means you have to open your phone to use it which sucks, but better than nothing. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] VIPNobie:
Tested it now, IR's working fine for me.

That's a limitation of most backup apps, also applies to Titanium Backup. In Helium, it will specifically tell you which apps it can't make a backup of.

I was on CM12 for a few months so I didn't really use the volume button for turning on the flashlight. I admit I miss it at times but I've kept the flashlight widget in my homescreen for easier access. I do believe this isn't the last update for the S4A so here's to hoping that Samsung will at least have the flashlight toggle on the notification drawer just like on the GS6.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] dazzawill:

What version Odin did u use. Camera error occurred when I used Odin 3.09 to flash my i9295. Odin 3.07 solved the issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] YoYoStevo:
I used both .09 and .07, .09 gave me the wifi error but it could just have been my PC having a minor hiccup at the moment of flashing as opposed to the version of Odin.

So I've been using this for a while now, really enjoying it and it's quite stable. Only thing I don't like is not having the ability to modify stuff. I haven't done any checks but I've had no problems with the battery life and I haven't had any camera errors (which I did have on kitkat, on a regular basis) and no problem playing music (using Poweramp, not the built in one)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] VIPNobie:
Am I really the only one having decreased mA flow when the screen is on? I'm hoping I'm not since I don't really want to have it checked (still under warranty) since I technically am not on an official firmware released for my country.

Anyone noticed the slow wifi connecting?

Earlier Kitkat or JB was taking a few seconds connecting to a wifi network. Now with Lollipop it takes almost a half minute...

The speed is fine (24ms, Down 31,04, Up 6,18 Mbps on a 30/5 Mbps copper wire) and the reception is usual as before.

How to downgrade from Lollipop to KitKat?

I've tried factory reset on recovery (PhilZ Touch) then flash stock 4.4.2 with Odin 3.09/3.10 but not pass.

When I restored from a KitKat backup of CWM, my S4 Active i9295 was unable to unlock from Lock Screen although I had been entered correct PIN. Factory reset (PhilZ Touch certainly) could bring back the first KitKat welcome, however, Wi-Fi couldn't be switched on. Nothing changes when I flash Modem.bin & NON-HLOS.bin extracted from 4.4.2 stock or 5.0.1 stock.

Xposed still made KitKat be sweeter for me than Lollipop. :p

Can you help me? Thanks a lot!

Hey everybody. I just flashed this via Odin, making sure to factory reset and wipe cache before, and no matter what I do I can't get Wifi to work. The button doesn't even stay on when I touch it. Was I supposed to format /system/ before I flashed with Odin?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] bjorkman224:
fixed my wifi not turning on issue by powering off the phone first, then powering it to download mode before flashing.

i was grinning ear to ear after the flash - custom recovery - supersu that my wifi is now back to serviceability.

very thankful to samsung for this official release, this has been stable - no more cannot connect to camera error. :D
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Charlesy006:
Thanks for the reply, mate. I tried everything including that, flashing it, wiping data, and then factory reset from phone menu and flashing with odin again. Flashing just the modem and non-hlos but nothing would work. So I'm back onto CM12 for now. Shame because I REALLY did enjoy the rom.

Silver lining is that I finally have my cm12 and recovery up to date! hahaha

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] bjorkman224:
did that, renamed the file successfully,

- powered it down.

- powered it on,

- launched the file manager - checkd the file and it is still has .bak

- clear defaults and settings for the camera

- launch camera

- clicked - to test and dayum! the shutter still has sound.

- because the sound still clicks, i reverted and removed .bak

any suggestions?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] O-T:
[MENTION=3659093]bjorkman224[/MENTION]

Files (plural) with names telling their purpose. Rename is effective immediately without reboot.

Mind that in some countries muting camera is illegal. In places that require silence I can see the need but cowards planning hidden camera deserve no respect.

I am with you that the phones camera shutter sound and should stay that way as it is a measure against hidden cam-voyeurism. It is just annoying to have to lower or mute the phone as a workaround - I'll have another go on renaming the files.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
Flash any of the 5.0.1 firmwares from Sammobile.com using Odin. Since you're in the USA there is not a specific build for your region so you're just going to have to try them out until you find one that you're happy with. For the most part the different firmwares are the same, they just have small tweaks to the CSC and modems to be optimized to work with carriers in each specific region. Again, since you're in the USA you're just going to have to try them until you find the one that works the best for you.

2 phones not liking update

I have 2 of these phones, one from Israel PCL running 4.2.2 and one from United Arab Emirates XSI running 4.4.2.

I've flashed both phones - after backing up. Neither will turn on Wifi. Otherwise the rest seems to work, at least on the Israeli phone. I get heaps of app close errors on the other one after update (maybe fixable with factory reset).

I've tried all the wifi fixes I've found online. Finding and deleting/ renaming wpasupplicant.conf, and I also tried flashing the previous working version of NON-HLOS.bin.

Has anyone got any ideas on how to fix the wifi?

Both phones are being used in Australia.

Thanks guys.

Ok, I fixed the wifi issue for both phones. Took some round about working, but did it. Here's how:

I installed the UK version of 5.0.1. Let the phone start up, wifi doesn't work at this point. Rebooted to stock recovery, then did factory reset. Then before rebooting, went to bootloader. Reflashed 5.0.1 and let phone reboot. Surprisingly when it came to connecting to wifi, it worked! That was the United Arab Emirates xsi version. Now for the other:

I tried doing factory reset first before flashing 5.0.1, but didn't work. Still no wifi. Did a factory reset in stock recovery and reflashed, still no wifi. Rebooted to download mode and tried reflashing again, and it worked. Surprisingly.

I flashed each time with Odin 3.0.7.

and remember to power off before download mode (or bootloader as beachbouy called it) next time.

The reboot is the reason beachbouy got partly updated modems when firmware was flashed. Factory reset don't seem to mend that, only a flash done correctly. Odin 3.07 and 3.09 is equally good for the job.

Problems with Lollipop UI

My UI is suffering severely since the upgrade.

I´ve followed the instructions correctly and made it several times, not only with the Netherlands version but the UK as well... and still the same issue appears, no matter what.

- UI is freezing ALL the widgets (restarting the phone goes back to normal, but goes back after a couple of hours)

- UI is bugging by putting several apps menus layers at the home screen and does not goes out

- It happens with the rooted and unrooted Lollipop

- Already formated FULLY and partially, still happens nonetheless

Dont be afraid "colegas".

EDIT 11/11/2015: after 1 week of using TTT 5.0.1: much better performance, very smooth firm. I had a few problems at the begining (batterty drain mostly) so i stoped a few services and thats it. Battery life now its +10%-15%. And the volume up button to turn on flashlight is OK.
