How to install gearrecovery?

Hi i'm trying to install this ROM.

I rooted my device with CFRoot, then I go to recovery.

Tried to install gearrecovery from external sdcard.

But it saidsaid E:footer is wrong and E:verification signature wrong

Then i went back to recovery and nothing changed. It looked like the gearrecovery wasn't installed succesfully

Can somebody help? Also no option to do backup on cfroot recovery

Thanks in advance

20150910 has problems with wifi(2.4GHz). Wifi speed got reduced to arround 5Mbps and there are problems with push notifications. whatsapp, facebook etc apps get notifications/messages about 1 and a half hour later. Wifi region South Afrika, Turkey. Wifi on during sleep> always.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] vvk222:
1. Sometimes, bricks from notification panel dissapears. If look at the settings, they will be present. Remove/add in settings helps to restore. Didn't saw this bug on older builds (I'm on 0910 build).

2. In-call sound bug with headset is still there. Plugin headset -> make call -> sound appears in phone's speaker instead of headset.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
It has been fixed (suspend issues with some wifi chipsets), wait next build.

1) CM sources related.

2) I'm not able to reproduce it here.

Bug

When i change the screen resolution in synapse and there is a UI reboot the SIM vanishes. It shows as if there is no SIM card.

EDIT: Most of the UI reboots lead to SIM being shown as NOT INSERTED.

P.S

Clean install , Indian Modem, Same Gapps as the OP. Nothing additional installed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] heichi13:
Soft reboots lead to issue. Best to reboot the device properly.

After a soft reboot done by Synapse, I get the same (no SIM inserted error), and a reboot always fixes that, on my side.

I'm using this ROM for a week now (migrated from stock 4.2.2 firmware).

I like everything but camera issue is really bad. I don't use camera often (once in 2-3 days) but when I try to use it - it's almost always unavailable and requires device reboot.

I'm thinking about going for rooted stock 5.0.1 and trying to debloat it would be better option until camera issue is resolved (if ever).
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Some devices don't like soft reboots, causing RIL to crash. As you can see, a standard reboot fixes it :)

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
There's something wrong at your end then. Be sure that you don't have any wifi interference near you. (such as routers using the same wifi channel or electronic devices such as microwave or cordless phones).

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] stellaignis:
I made some experiments to troubleshoot the problems with wifi. The late comming notifications and disconnection problems are gone. And the low bandwith problem was on my side(sorry about that). The only problem left is the headset in call. If I make a call while headset is connected, sound won't go through the headset but the earpiece and the mic on the phone itself. Replugging redirects sound to the headset for the present call.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
As i already told you, i'm not able to reproduce that bug here, i'm using Original Samsung S4 headset.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] stellaignis:
Okay, thx. I'll keep trying to find the problem and report it if I manage to pinpoint it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] SevenD2:
I had a similar problem, when I make a call, my headset mic won't pick up sound, (even when using a sound recorder) I've fixed the problem by installing and un-installing V4A (v 2.3.4)

BUG on 16/09 build

Here is what happened:

1. Installed the latest build.

2. On clicking reboot in recovery It said "Root missing , root device?"

3. Click YES.

4. stuck on a bootloop after the samsung s4 logo screen.

Tried clean installing multiple times but it wont work.

THEN i installed the 10/09 build as that is the only one i had and it booted perfectly (this time the message "Fix root" showed up but i am used to it aad it always shows up when i do an install).
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Robl-timson:
I was having trouble with Wi-Fi connection today.

WI-Fi randomly disconnected from 5GHz network that was working perfectly for several days. I've verified on other device that access point was working and had stable Internet connection. But my S4 was unable to connect to it (looped statuses Saved -> Obtaining IP adress -> Saved). Turning Wi-Fi on and off did not fix the problem but after device reboot it connected instantly.

I don't know the exact conditions to recreate this bug.

I'm on 20150914 build currently.

P.S.

Also could you please add a feature to skip a release on OTA updates app and silence notifications until the next one?

Release cycle is quite short and sometimes you don't see anything particularly interesting in changelog to bother updating. Currently if you don't update you will get notifications on every check.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
There's something wrong at your end, because if it says root missing it means that nothing has been installed. Be sure that you're running latest GearRecovery. If you're still facing problem, reinstall latest Stock ROM using standard pit and retry.

Latest build is 20150916. Phone will automatically disconnect from 5GHz network if there's a 2.4GHz one with higher signal, this is how lollipop works.

About OTA Updates, just go to app's settings and you'll find what you need.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Robl-timson:
There was no 2.4GHz network with known passphrase available.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
5GHz network shares the same MAC Address of 2.4GHz network (same router), so the device will automatically switch when required without asking you anything. This is how is working here (tested), my router is a Netgear R6300v2 with 5GHz network using Channel 161 and 2.4GHz network using Channel 11.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Robl-timson:
Even so it didn't switch network it just disconnected from one and remained in disconnected state. I didn't input passphrase for my 2,4GHz network into my S4.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
That's strange, try to get some logs then, after it doesn't connect anymore.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Robl-timson:
Correction: not disconnected state but rather some loop trying to connect (it reset after "Obtaining IP address" step every time).

I will try to extract some logs next time but this is some elusive bug I only encountered it now for the first time in a week of usage.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Thank you. I'm curious to know if it is ROM related.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Robl-timson:
I've got a bug with Wi-Fi again (unable to connect to 5GHz network, stuck in cycle "Connecting-> Obtaining IP adress -> Saved ->Connecting etc.)

While trying to extract logs I connected my phone with usb cable and then switched it to UMS mode. Not only device not appeared in WIndows as mass storage but also external SD card dismounted from android system as a result.

I've created 3 types of logs provided in Synapse tools section do I need to anything else and where do I submit them (I'm not sure know how sensitive the data is in those logs to post them publicly).

UPD:

Switching device to UMS and back to MTP dismounts external SD card every time.

Also, I noticed that if I leave my phone on charger overnight I often see battery charge in a range of 92-98% in the morning. I don't remember this happening on stock ROM so maybe another issue?

Yes, stock charger, but not stock cable.

Again, charging speed is fine. The only problem I have that after being plugged in for 8-10 hours it's often not 100% but rather 92-98%.

I'm sorry if you've answered this before, but does this happen as well when you're on the stock i9500 ROM?

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Robl-timson:
That happened few times when I was using bad USB cable for charging. But since I bought a new one problem was gone for many months until I switched to custom ROM.

Also when I was using bad cable charging speed was very bad too but now charging speed is not affected at all. Also now if I discharge battery to around 80% and then plug charger back it will charge to 100% in around 15 minutes.

It looks like after reaching 100% battery starts to slowly discharge even if charger is still plugged.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] afaquekhaja:
Discharge while charging? That's funny.

Well I guess there is some problem with your charger. Try switching back to stock.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] heichi13:
That was very well described. I haven't ran into this problem. I'm using the original Samsung charger and an Oppo cable. I've been using a new battery for a few months now and I've had no issues.

Even with my original battery, it charges and discharges just fine. The last time I remember having issues as per described, was when I was using a 5200mAh battery from China. It barely kept the right temperature, too.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Robl-timson:
I am using stock charger. I was using non-stock cable.

I don't think the problem is in cable because stock and non-stock cable shows the same current during charging and the problem appeared only after I switched to this ROM.

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

It's stock battery, in use for about 1 year.

The problem only appears if I leave charger plugged for a long time (overnight) and happens randomly (I can see 100% or anything in range of 91-99% when I wake up).

If I just charge it it always reach 100%.

GearRecovery has been updated too, with lots of fixes and with new UI. Excuse me if you have lost something important, but i never thought that TWRP was so different from CWM. Now it is perfect, all features have been enabled and properly configured.

There are also lots of changes regarding ROM, full wipe is highly recommended.

Install this build with my new GearRecovery to be sure that all gets installed without any issue.

Enjoy :)
