I downloaded the files yesterday and flash it today via odin.. now i got SIN firmware..

LTE is not working

Hi, I flashed German version of official rom 5.0.1. But after it LTE is not working it wont connect 4G. All other like H+ is working fine. But LTE is totally missing. Any advice how could it be fixed, maybe try an other official rom? We are still lacking Scandinavian (Finnish) 5.0.1 rom :(

problems after upadting to lollipop

i have recently updated my s4 i9505 from 4.4 to lollipop 5.0..

i am facing problems after the update

problem 1. the gaming performance has decreased...now nfs most wanted, nba 2k14 , real racing 3 are lagging a lot

problem 2. the camera quality has decreased a lot...in 4.4, the picture was very colourfull and focused but not now.

problem 3. the battery backup has decreased a lot. now phone stands upto max 5 hours/

i have performed a clean install and tried to flash stock rom many times by doing wipe data and cache

please help me with this problems
[Galaxy S 4 General] myawan:
Revert to KitKat, Lollipop is still not optimized for S4.
[Galaxy S 4 General] finac94:
Not true...it works without any problems on my phone, it's definitely faster and more battery efficient than kitkat (even with those ugly white backgrounds everywhere).
[Galaxy S 4 General] rayblo:
True. First i did an upgrade but it was laggy.

Then i did a clean install and runs smoother then on kitkat. Normally at 8pm i had 25% left on kitkat now i have double the amount
[Galaxy S 4 General] raman99311:
help me too to make my lollipop without any problem

please help me too ...in lollipop,i cant even play gta sa in my s4 on lollipop...tried wipe data n cache...but nothing worked:eek:

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 AM ----------

please help me by letting me know how to do a clean install
[Galaxy S 4 General] finac94:
Just do a normal OTA update (or flash the rom using kies or odin if you haven't recieved OTA yet) and then after the update wait for your phone to boot and go to settings --> accounts --> backup and reset --> factory data reset (and in case it asks you some questions just click yes) then your phone will reboot and once it boots you will have to set up your phone again (you will lose all settings and data on internal memory so make sure to backup the stuff you need first).

In case your phone doesn't boot after the update you can boot into recovery (you need to have your phone turned off) by pressing and holding home button + volume up button + power button and doing factory reset from recovery menu (I believe you move up and down with volume keys and select with power button but I'm not sure 'cause this is my first Samsung device.

Good luck and enjoy the lollipop ! :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] finac94:
Is it missing from the network mode options or it's there but it just doesn't work?

do you have it like this?
[Galaxy S 4 General] raman99311:
i have tried this many times...i have noticed that the gaming performance gets decresed after rooting my phone using philz recovery...have u faced any problem ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] finac94:
I don't play much games, but from the ones I do I haven't noticed any lag. I also haven't rooted my phone because I have no need for it (I don't have battery issues so I don't really need wakelock detector or disable services app amd such...) but I know from experience that rooting can sometimes cause peformance issues and random reboots.
[Galaxy S 4 General] raman99311:
i have rooted to remove the bloats from my s4......is there any other way to remove samsung apps from s4 5.0 without rooting?

does anybody else have problems with the storage. I installed around 60 apps total which were all necessary for me and after that, I couldn't update anything because of lack of space :/

Had tried several Lollipop versions, everytime wifi was not working.

Finally found this, the Dutch Black Edition. Flashed it on Odin and hooray, all is working fine, superb!

I'm extremely happy.

I've noticed that multi-users accounts is missing in this upgrade? Is it true or is it me?
[Galaxy S 4 General] finac94:
I also don't have multi-user control so I guess Samsung didn't include it.

I flashed this over the last UK BTU (B7)

* First attempt resulted in a somewhat unstable system - various play services errors, wifi not working

: I suspect something went wrong with the flash... modem at a minimum, perhaps more - even though status in odin 3.10.6 was ok, and using decent pc, top quality anker cables.

: At this point new apps did get installed

* Second attempt solved the instability & wifi back working

: This was just reflashing the rom - no clearing out of data

: Had one unexpected restart last night... though it was during the rooting process & replacing recovery, and I did have one or two even on the old rom.

: Ok so far today

Needless to say I have a full backup but hoping it will be stable. Too early to tell much about differences yet. There were those german apps installed which I removed.
[Galaxy S 4 General] raman99311:
i have updated to latest rom...from germany.....but after some time....games started lagging...after fresh installation, games were working fine...bt after some time they are lagging a lot..i am using greenify and clean master...do u think these apps cause this problem>?

i just saw a gameplay of nfs most wanted on s4..

i am on rooted stock 5.0 i9505 on latest version released yesterday, i tried games like mc4, gta sa, mc 5, asphalt 8, nfs most wanted,,,,just nfs started and it was lagging a lot....all the other games crashed in my s4 i9505

tried custom roms, kernals, reflashing stock rom, wiping data and cache, but nothing worked for me,,,,someone please help me, i want to feel the real power of my s4

San Andreas is lagging like hell for me ever since I updated to v5.0.1

Either game developer or samsung need to optimize their games or softwares.

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

You need to use the latest version of these games. Gta san andreas v1.05 was crashing on lollipop but the lates version v1.07 and v1.08 are working but games are lagging so much on lollipp.
[Galaxy S 4 General] raman99311:

Lots of behind the scenes changes like tweaked layouts which you may not notice. For themers it's a nightmare. Samsung are using a new image file type .pkm. Some apks won't compile either.
[Galaxy S 4 General] khsh97:
No, I haven't tried them. If you want to play games smoothly then somehow downgrade to android 4.3.
[Galaxy S 4 General] raman99311:
i downgraded to 4.4 but no changes in gameplay...can i downgrade to 4.3 ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] hare89:
I am happy with this version i dont play hardcore games but everything else works smoothly,now we can only hope that we get latest 5.1.1 revision :)

Nice, isn't it? :o
[Galaxy S 4 General] khsh97:
I also downgraded to 4.4 and the gta san andreas v1.05 which was working smoothly on 4.4 before was lagging. Then I download 4.3 I9505XXUML9 firmware and tried to flash it with odin v3.09 but it failed(auth failure..means 4.3 bootloader cannot be flashed). Then I flashed 4.3 firmware with Mobile Odin pro and it flashed successfully but when the phone booted, I was getting "unfortunately samsung keyboard has stopped" and wifi was not working. But gta san andreas v1.05 was running smoothly. Then I restored my backup of android 5.0.1 in twrp and wifi was not working but Gta san andreas was running smoothly. But when I saw I9505XXUHOD7 released, I flashed it and now the game is still lagging like hell.

For downgrading to 4.3, you need to remove bootloader from the firmware and flash it with odin.
[Galaxy S 4 General] myawan:
Must have some improvement as it is an update over previous lollipop build, did anybody try?
[Galaxy S 4 General] hare89:
For me its smoother no lag at all rest is all the same,didnt try high end games i am playing just some light games ...
[Galaxy S 4 General] myawan:
We shouldn't be expecting any added functionality, but even if it fixes lag and improves battery then its more than enough.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hare89:
Yeah honestly i am satisfied with this build , i think battery is almost the same as previous builds even kitkat builds i am always around 2 and a half - 3 hours of screen ontime and i dont thing that samsung can improve battery without destroying performance even more...
[Galaxy S 4 General] Corduroysack:
is the useability much improved than the previous BTU OB7 release? :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] rboy28:
There is a new firmware with a different changelist (a little bit lower than the DBT OD7 but there could be other changes):
[Galaxy S 4 General] ToothFairy':
Like hare89 said already, i also find it more smooth and more fluid in day by day usage (i.e. no gaming! it's really not my thing!) than the previous 5.0.1 one.

'till now: no lag for me, no crashes, apps opens fast enough, camera working well, 2 .5 hours (medium) battery life, pluged in over night = juiced enough for a regular daily usage etc.

If it'll improve also a little bit of battery life than, like myawan says, I'll be more than satisfied!

After all, it's not Endeavour, it's a damn phone!
[Galaxy S 4 General] finac94:
Is memory management improved? Do apps still reload after switching between 3-4 apps (or tabs in chrome) or they stay loaded like in kitkat?
[Galaxy S 4 General] droidcol:
I think the battery has a much better performance with this build, also has anyone notice the bug in the notification for battery fully charged? It doesn't stay in the notification area anymore.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bingley:
Is there any 02 branding on it or sim lock, or can I just flash the the md5 and restore my /data partition just fine?
[Galaxy S 4 General] ToothFairy':
There are 4 or 5 app preinstalled (something about Bild.de, some kind of pizza delivery and so on) which can be easily uninstaled via app manager.

Except that there's no branding at all.

You can install it like you said. There are some other recomandations to do a clean cache and factory restore before AND after installation. Nevertheless I didn't do it and I didn't notice any kind of issues.

Overall I recommend it!

Sorry but i need your help

i sold my s4 to a friend and he ask me to update to lollipop stock no root (i haven't triggered knox) so i flash with odin the rom in this tread.

the problem no WIFI i think the answer is to flash a new modem, but o don t remember if flash modem in odin triggers knox and if not do i flash the modem with wifi fix or boot loader. .

Thank you for your help
[Galaxy S 4 General] NIK3SH:
Its know issue of this ROM...

First try factory reset from Settings.

Flash ROM again.

Again wipe data partition from stock recovery...

And you should good to go...

This method helped me OB7 FW, so should be helpful to you too...

Best Luck...
[Galaxy S 4 General] bobfrantic:
Best thing to do is:

1. Factory reset

2. Power phone off completely

3. Restart in download mode

4. Install rom with odin 3.10

For baseband and modem to install proper phone needs to be off before going to download. Good Luck with it. :)

Good to see the mandatory POWER OFF to have COLD boot to download mode.

Even better to never use the words "restart" or "reboot" when advice given. Simply start or boot from device Off state.

Wifi, sound, and baseband trouble root cause is this language hurdle.

Definition of wrong advice SOFT restart/reboot:

Do keep up the good work and whack the reboot advices floating around the forum.

[Galaxy S 4 General] MaFiBoSS:
Hi, you can try this way:

1 - Download CWM you prefer (Philz, TWRP, etc);

2 - Download Root SuperSU v2.46 (from Chainfire);

3 - Download Odin v3.10.0 (here);

4 - Extract Odin folder from .rar file (step 3) and copy the CWM file from step 1 to this folder;

5 - Copy the file "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip" (step 2) to your device;

6 - Turn off your device and put it in Download Mode (Volume Down button + Power button);

7 - Open Odin, select AP button, choose the file "philz_touch_6.58.7-jflte.tar.md5" and connect your device to pc (USB);

8 - Press Start button and wait to finish;

9 - When is finished, enter in Recovery Mode (Volume Up button + Power button);

10 - Go to menu and install .zip file "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip";

11 - Restart and enjoy :D

PS: Here have last USB drivers for samsung devices.
[Galaxy S 4 General] NIK3SH:
In case if you require root only without changing recovery,

Try CF AUTOROOT...

It will gain you root with stock recovery...
[Galaxy S 4 General] droidcol:
Also you'll want to UNtick Auto-reboot in Odin before flashing philz, someone posted it in another thread and it worked for me, otherwise I got a failure in booting all the apps and massive FC.

[MENTION=6506254]droidcol[/MENTION]

Untick autoreboot will make it easier to enter custom recovery immediately after 1st boot. The stock recovery will re-install itself if not CWM/TWRP is entered.

Ticked autoreboot need more attention to press VolUp when reboot is initiated by Odin.

[Galaxy S 4 General] ToothFairy':
No u can't! After reflashing (with Odin), you have to resetup your device again from scratch!

This doesn't apply if u have an update via OTA. In this case your apps should be in their places after update.

Yes...

Your data partition will be intact by it...

But you will loose root access and recovery, which can be gained later on too...

You can try Nova launcher for that.
