I'm trying to free up some space for applications and was wondering if anyone knows what the cache partition is used for apart from the obvious .. As it takes up 2gb and is always nearly empty.... I've tried installing to the system partition (got a gig free in there) it goes through the motions, upgrading apps etc, but at the end of it the app fails with needs reinstalling etc.. Anyone know how I can install into these partitions or resize them to my needs.

Hello!

Skip the tutorial on how you installed the modem PF4 / bootloader .... please
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wellingtonfmachado:
1. Download the PF4 Modem and Bootloader files (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/general/ref-galaxy-s4-i9505-modems-bootloaders-t3315987)

2. Open Odin

3. Press CP and locate your modem .tar / .bin file

4. Press BL and locate your bootloader .tar / .mbn file

5. Completely power off you phone and reboot to download mode using the button combination (Volume-Down + Power)

6. Connect your phone to your PC, Odin should now show "ID:COM connected" in green

7. Untick ‘Re-Partition’ and ‘Auto-reboot’ from Odin options

8. Press start in Odin

9. If you used .bin / .mbn files, repeat steps 3-8 for the rest of the files

10. Done! Reboot your phone!

I tried doing that 10 times and it doesn't work for me. I always get a message 'Auth failed'.

I am pretty sure it happens because my phone is S4 i337m so my bootloader doesn't accept the one from 9505.

I even tried flashing the whole PF4 Samsung ROM from TIM Italy but I get the same error message.

It is the 1st time when flashing Imperium doesn't work on my i337M.

I have had different bootloader, different baseband and it always worked. Until v15

Maybe the Canadian telcos will release an update that will come with a newer radio as I am not sure what other options.

I did not try one thing yet: flashing back the latest original S4 i337m firmware then trying to flash only the baseband and see what happens.

Anybody else has a better idea?

Thanks

You have to enter "Download Mode" via key presses (POWER+VOL_DOWN)!

If you use 4-way-reboot you won't be able to flash the modem!!

This is a known problem since forever (at least for this phone)!

I think someone should remove the Download Mode from the 4-way-reboot since it is useless to enter that mode this way...

Hi Slim80 and all,

There is clearly something wrong going on with the v15/PF4 modems.

I've been a long time user of your ROMs, but this one has something different.

(NOTE that I'm not updating the bootloader, and that could be the answer to this!)

At first I've tried to install v15 on top of v13.1 after updating the modems (both). The ROM was very laggy, up to a point that it became completely unusable. It stopped responding to the touch, so they only thing I could do was turn ON/OFF the screen.

Then I though it could have been due to the dirty flash.

So cleaned the system+data+dalvik+sd_card and re-installed the ROM.

And got similar problems...

I've come back to v13.1 (with the modems still updated PF4) and at first the ROM seemed ok. But left the phone alone for around 30 minutes and the same is happening...

So my suspicion is that there is something wrong with the modems package (or at least with some -- in case there are many versions around. :(

Well all is fine for me. Comes from of2 and then albe95 lollirom i had to update both bootllader and modem as i had no signal. I made my own custom using v15 and apart a hotter phone, all works great. Did not wipe data. I am happy with this rom.

Thank you for the great rom
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wellingtonfmachado:
Friend, I and most others who have made the flash without updating the bootloader had problems. I suggest you do a clean install.

Here are my steps:

I will detail the procedure that I done to help the others.

1. With the phone “ON” and plugged into the PC, I saved all the necessary files (ROM v15, and Kernel Cleaning Script) on my sd card.

2. I accessed the root folder to the My Files and deleted all folders that do not have utility, only left the whatsapp and DCIM folder.

3. After cleaning, chose the “reboot option” in download mode.

4. On your computer, open the Odin3_v3.11.1 and choose:

5. BL: XXUHPF4_BOOTLOADER.tar // In CP: XXUHPF4_COMBINED.tar

6. I left unchecked "Auto Reboot" in Odin, plugged the cable into the phone, waited recognize the phone and clicked Start.

7. The flash was successful.

8. I held the phone's power button to turn off. I removed the cable and turned on the phone.

9. After the phone turn on normally, I restarted in Recovery mode (use the touch philz 6.07.6-jfltexx), touched Wipe Data / clean to install new ROM;

10. I made the V15 flash, after flash script and flash the kernel;

11. To conclude I Wipe Data, Wipe Dalvik Cache and Wipe Cache Again.

12. I Restarted the phone, I restored the backup and all right so far.

* Sorry for my basic english.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] s0ulreaver:
Thanks for trying to help but you forgot to mention one important aspect: what phone do you have?

I guess you have the 9505... and probably the people having issues (like me) use a different phone (I have the i337m Canadian S4)

So far all the Imperium ROMs worked fine except this one which requires flashing the PF4 modem and bootloader.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] pacacc:
Olá Wellington,

Thanks for trying to help, but I just don't want to update the bootloader.

That is (maybe "was") one of the reason to use Slim80's ROMs.

But the problem seems more complex to me...

After flashing the PF4 Modems I'm having problems with the phone hanging/freezing/blocking and rebooting.

(just in case someone else is having the same issues) I've tried already without success fixing this by:

* Keep the PF4 Modems and go back to v13.1

* Reverted the both the modems to OL4 (same version I had before and that matches ROM v13.1)

* reflashed the v13.1 ROM multiple times (with and without factory resets)

* flashed ROM 13.1 and kernel 4.5 before booting

* plugged the battery for a few minutes and tried to re-flash again

The phone still hangs/freezes and randomly reboots...

Something happened after flashing the PF4 modems that I seem not able to revert by flashing older versions :/

Thinking of flashing a very old-pure version (KK) via odin and then try again going to v13.1 to see if it makes a difference :rolleyes:

I was afraid to update the bootloader, but it worked out.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] s0ulreaver:
Have you tried flashing the complete Samsung ROM I9505XXUBMGA?

From what I have seen, the modem archive includes the modem file, as well as the non-hlos file.

Make sure you try to flash the old ROM, the non-hlos is flashed as well.

Or build a package with Flashfire from the old I9505XXUBMGA that includes the old modem and the old non-hlos file.

I had once the same issues like you and in fact is was caused by recovery not mounting and erasing properly the system partition when trying to wipe out.

I had to manually mount the system partition and erasing it.

Good luck!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Federacion:
Just my personal opinion:

Many people encounter a lot of problems trying to get the latest version of this great Rom. In my experience newer is not always better, or at least better enough to struggle so much. I use the rock solid version 10.1 of this Rom updating the kernel and everything else manually through PlayStore and Xposed. With the great update of the kernel to 4.5 I get 4 hours sot even with difficulties at the signal because of the telephone company (not a phone related issue) because of vacation to a Greek island. Anyway I would suggest to anyone that is looking for a stable rock solid performance for a I9505 to give this combination a shot.

A lot of people, including myself have this issue with v15.0. In my case, I'm running a I337M (Canadian) variant and using the original bootloader.

I have done "some testing" and have tried older Kernels on 15.0, still not working. The only solution for me was to dirty flash over 15, to 13.1 (never had 14). At 13.1, everything works as it should.

There is something new in v15 that is causing issues. Being a i337M, we cannot load the new modems etc., and never had to before.

Nice job but is not for i9515

tried this rom on my i9515. I got great expectations. I did everything to run it:

1. Imperium_LL_Rom_PF4_v15.0.zip

2. Kernel_Script_Cleaning_by_Slim80_v1.9_LL.zip

3. Stock_Kernel_with_Patch_OJ3.zip

This only applies to 9515.

But I got no WIFI. A serious issue. And I tried everything: wifi_bluetooth_patch_v1.1_for_TW_based_5.0.1.zip even a part of thor rom.

Nothing get me back WIFI.

So, I did the last resort, which BY DEFINITION is WRONG. Flash the MODEM PF3 modem (PF3_LL_modem_NON-HLOS.tar) which HANGS Odin and leave my phone in DOWNLOADING MODE!!.

I enter in panic and back to the stock ROM.

Seem a nice ROM and a good job. Sadly I cant have it in my i9515, because no WIFI, no fun.
