What's going on my s4 friends? I need to update the 3minit battery and a few other things. Been really busy and my b day is the 31st of this month. But anyone got a list of other stuff that may need updating?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
You need to Odin. Sounds like you didn't move wipe to the top when you flashed.

ASOP ? :roll: :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
Be sure to read the instructions carefully when performing the FlashFire steps.

It tells you what to add in FlashFire then it ends with the order in which to flash.

To change the order in FlashFire, you need to hold down and drag it.

Just 1 file out of order in FlashFire will end up with you having to redo the whole device over again from the start.

When it's done correctly, it'll be worth it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Homer_S_xda:
OK,

I'm struggling at this point. I've followed several suggestions on this and I keep getting stuck at the same point: Flashfire (v0.55.1) just exits without doing anything at all except scrolling "LOADING". It just fades out and the phone reboots.

Here is where I can get repeatedly:

ODIN: Stock OF1

ODIN: OC1 Kernel

Kingroot w/4.9.3 (extSDcard)

King2su w/3.0 (ADB batch file): SuperSU is 2.74 <- also replaced with 2.49

ODIN: OF1 Kernel

Don't use king root... But now that you have, Google the YouTube video that shows you how to switch it over to SuperSU. I used the OF1 methods outlined in the General section. It's worked for me three times now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Homer_S_xda:
Thanks,

I got it switched over from Kingroot to SuperSu. I guess the issue might be the versions. I'll see if I can swap out the SuperSu version in the King2su to 2.49. I'll have to find a 0.24 version of Flashfire to try.

Homer

UPDATE: Note that the path I'm trying to follow is the "Old Method" from the earlier OF1 tutorial. I swapped in SuperSu 2.49, went back to the beginning. Installed FF 0.24, and it just exits without even getting anywhere. Tried FF 0.55, same thing as before. Is it possible it is running out of memory?

wifi

I really have search for the answer to this almost 2 weeks. I am sure it is here but can't find it. I installed stang5liter which is awesome. I own 4 fox body mustangs. Back to the problem I can't get my wifi to turn on. I tried using "gogolies-wififix-VZW-NK4-OC1-w-modules-SS.zip" with flashfire. It goes through the steps but nothing changes. I was to a point where I was going to try Able95 but even that wouldn't flash with fireflash. I am new to all this and am sure I am missing a step, I do always do a wipe before install and probably am lucky I haven't bricked the phone yet. The phone is a I545 OC1 with OF1 Baseband. Again I think what you guys are doing is awesome any help would be appreciated. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
Flash the OF1 kernel from post #1, you may need to downgrade FlashFire, the latest version doesn't flash anything for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
Yes, v.53 of FlashFire is the one that is working for me. From v.55.1 and up it isn't working for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PePSiMaN:
I am having the same problem. I factory reset my s4 it is on ver OF1 and i installed flashfire v53 and it will not run past the initializing process.

EDIT: i figured out the problem with FireFlash. It seems if you are trying to use ver .53 which is verified to work with flashing the roms, you must go into settings and uncheck auto sync time and date in the time and date settings. then set back the date to feb 2013 and then launch fireflash. after you flash rom reset settings if it isn't already. worked like a charm for me and i finally got this rom to flash
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
Wipe the latest FlashFire's data in app manager before you uninstall it. That's what I had to do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Homer_S_xda:
Success-ish

OK,

So I got FlashFire 0.53 to wipe, flash ROM, Kernel, SuperSu and reboot. It sat on the spinny SS startup for quite a while as advertised. Finally got to the Phone Setup and everytime I tap next, Settings exits and I'm stuck on Phone Setup. I watched more closely, it says "LMT expired" before trouble starts. Thoughts?

UPDATE: I think whatever part of setup is via WiFI might have been removed. Either without the SIM installed or with the inactive SIM installed, when I tap USE WiFi it goes to the Setup Wizard and then "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."

Homer

Here's FlashFire v0.53

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120705776
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Homer_S_xda:
Yes, OF1. Here are my steps that got it working (tried twice with the same results):

Stock OF1 via Odin

KingRoot 4.9.3, wiped cache and data first via Application Manager

SuperSu 2.49 via King2SU 3.0, manually uninstalled com.kingroot.kinguser via Application Manager

FlashFire 0.53 from linky quoted above, tried to wipe cache and data first via Application Manager, didn't need to

Followed OF1 install: Wipe x 4 items, Flash ROM, WiFi Kernel, SuperSu 2.49

Same results both times: The wipes happen, the ROM gets flashed, the kernel gets flashed, SuperSu gets flashed. Happy messages in FlashFire for all. Reboot with vroom-vroom sound and spinning SS gears. Right to language selection, try to get to WiFi and it just exits and reenters the same WiFi screen.

I've never seen any *# combo work with any Verizon device. I tried the *#TESTMODE with no joy.

Can someone with time on their hands flash the v3.0 rom on an OF1 without a SIM card to see if they can get through the WiFi activation?

Homer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
Also make sure the ROM zip md5sum matches the one listed on the download page to ensure you got a good download. The file is quite large.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Homer_S_xda:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
Also, I'd recommend that, before installing the FlashFire v0.53 app, be sure that your Play Store Settings reflect NOT to automatically update anything (i even set it not even to notify me of any updates). This way it doesn't automatically update the FlashFire app after it's installed. There's a majority of S4 OF1/OC1 users who agree that this seems to be more stable with very few issues.

After the above is done in the Play Store Settings, you should be good to go with the FlashFire app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Homer_S_xda:
ROM Testing

OK,

Here is how I am flashing ROMs on the S4 (OF1). Thanks to those who went before!

Stock OF1 via Odin v3.11.1*

KingRoot 4.9.3, wipe cache and data first via Application Manager, if any is present

SuperSu 2.49 via King2SU 3.0, manually uninstall com.kingroot.kinguser via Application Manager.

FlashFire 0.53, wipe cache and data first via Application Manager, if any is present

Using FlashFire: Wipe (System Data, 3rd Party Apps, Dalvik and Cache); Flash ROM, WiFi Kernel and SuperSu 2.49 from externalSDcard, after checking md5 for all

* After Setup, I disable Play store updates, enable developer options and turn on USB debugging. I also set the display timeout to 10 minutes, allow Unknown sources, and mute the ringer and keyboard sounds. Not that much of this matters, but we can all stop asking :).

Here is what is working and what isn't.

S5L Ultra v1 - Working

S5L 5.0 v2 - Working (had to do a factory reset after the Odin to OF1)

S5L 5.0 v3 - Stuck trying to activate via WiFi

Note that the exact same kernel and SuperSu zips were used in all instances.

So, I'm thinking there are some files for activation over WiFi which were present in v2 and are no longer present in v3. Can someone help me identify these so I can create a FlashFire zip package? or if some very kind soul made one that would rock!

Just for giggles, I "dirty flashed" S5L 50 v3 over v2, only wiping Dalvik and cache. This let me skip activation via WiFi on v3. I'm sure it left some other junk behind but at least I get to use v3!

I'm going to say this is a bug report/feature request for v4: test WiFi activation without a SIM card.

Another question, this was in v2 and I might have carried it forward by dirty flashing: how to get the PIN lock on the lock screen to survive a reboot. Not really secure without it.

Homer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
Did you flash the OF1 WiFi Fix as outlined in the OP?

I have it here:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120706069
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Homer_S_xda:
I said that I did in my post:

"Using FlashFire: Wipe (System Data, 3rd Party Apps, Dalvik and Cache); Flash ROM, WiFi Kernel and SuperSu 2.49 from externalSDcard, after checking md5 for all"

and FlashFire reported that it did:

"Installing [/mnt/media_rw/extSdCard/VZW_OF1_WifiFix.zip]"

I took pictures that I can post if you really need to see them. If someone can walk me through pulling the log I can redo flashing v3 via FlashFire after Stock OF1. Just remember, IT IS FRIGGIN' STUCK AT SETUP!

I'm assuming that the whole need for the WifiFix is that WiFi doesn't work if you don't? If that is the case, why do both the Ultra v1 and 50 v2 work with WiFi activation but 50 v3 does not?

Happy belated birthday [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION].

Can you add this to your to fix list:

- Make default APN settings editable

- Enable adding new APNs

-Look into data speed issues (I am experiencing as low as 1 mbps on verizon 4GLTE...)

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Homer_S_xda:
Thanks. I found the setting. Try this, set the PIN. Long press the power button and restart/reboot. No PIN is required upon reboot and if you short press the power button, no PIN is needed to access the phone. The setting does not carry over across boots. I'm thinking this is meant to carry across otherwise you get around security by cycling the power. If you restart/hot reboot the behavior is correct. If you power off you bypass the lockscreen. Note that the setting is there "secured with PIN", but the device is not locked.

I can install this room in lollipop 5.1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
I've been seeing allot of FlashFire v0.53 issues in regards to preventing the Play Store from auto updating it and it also seems as though it has been without the user even being aware of it...

Are you having trouble installing FlashFire v.53 and/or keeping the Play Store from automatically updating it?

If so, then i may have a way for you to install the FlashFire v.53 and completely sever it from the Play Store.

Please let me know because this seems to be a special circumstance for which an older FlashFire is the only stable one for the S4 OC1/OF1.

Though, it's extremely rare for me to prevent updating an app like this and is, in fact, extremely beneficial as a practice to keeping it updated.

With that stated, the S4 OC1/OF1 is kinda stuck with the Android 5.0.1 (Lollipop) and it's just not liking any of the the FlashFire versions past the v.53.

Just let me know and, though you may have to start everything from scratch (factory reset, rooting, etc...) i can provide the FlashFire v0.53 that is severed from the Play Store (but, NOT the paid version because your responsible for that).

Xposed will work after this? Anyone get Amplify, power nap, appopsxposed working? And Xprivacy?

Is there another way to get xposed running on this verizon i545 w/ 5.0.1?

I'd appreciate your replies. I want to do this soon...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
Cache and dalvik cache. Flash the kernel and the SuperSU zip after the ROM. It will tell you you need to update the binary after boot. No, you have to flash the Samsung specific Xposed by Arter97. Yes, I have them working. No, there is not another way.

I have had the same problems. On aptoide store there are various versions of flashfire v53. One is "busted dice", that one works. The other does what you describe.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:

Hey man, thanks a lot for all your hard work on this. And for checking back in. Not a big deal since I'm using the time to try out Dragon Assistant, but I could not get S-Voice to work, no matter what I tried, kept getting the "Mic in use by another app" even though I closed them all and ran a CPU-z like utility which said mic was not in use. Tried reinstalling from the rom as well as a couple others and even the S5 port, but no luck.

Anyone get this to work? If so, how? I get stuck at the screen after the reboot with the red Flashfire banner at the top and the text that says installing at the bottom.

Luckily battery pull and boot and back where I came from :)

Thanks for this, tried to use with the optimizer zip but no such luck. And thanks for the info earlier in the thread. Reading your and Stang's back and forth made flashing over New years a breeze. First try :good:

No sé si hay diferencia entre de OC1 y OF1, pero mio sirvio con los dos Movistar y Telcel sin problemas, aún LTE. Pero tengo OC1, puede ser ese.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brothermoose:
Apologies if my multi-reply post was unclear. I was addressing 4 separate things with 4 posters. Thought I was keeping the thread uncluttered but if I have to explain each, it may have backfired, heh :p

The OF1 question was for our El Salvadorian friend. They have the same 2 main carriers there as I have successfully used in Mexico, although they use a different GSM freq, but the same UMTS and LTE. Every time I have seen someone in this thread with radio/wifi/4G issues, they were on OF1. Of course it could just be that more people are on OF1, but I am not sure. Since my phone works with America Movil and Telefonica SIM cards on this ROM, I was just wondering if maybe the OF1 had something to do with it.

I think I've figured the second issue of the speed optimizer. This ROM does not appear to have init.d support, so I'm trying the flash again with kernel adiutor...fingers crossed. :fingers-crossed:

**UPDATE**

Indeed, running kernel auditor made the install smooth as jelly...not that I can discern any real difference, battery seems to be draining as same rate and the netz does not seem faster. Could just be a bad netz day for the carrier as it rained pretty hard today and Mexican internet can be tempermental, even in populated areas.
