I just did the same. Everything went well, installed Amplify, but it won't run. Goes through checking for Installer, I hit Fix It, but doesn't. All I want is a good way to improve my battery life even more. Any ideas? The install/update button is blanked out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Go into your xposed and enable it 1st. Then it will let you get through. Have to have the module active.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mario119:
I'm afraid I can't. My phone won't even boot into download now. FlashFire must of been doing something very important when the battery dropped out. As of now, I just have a fancy paperweight...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Haligan:
Will it go to recovery mode? Possibly do a factory reset?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Samsung no longer has a app store they closed it. If you have a stock phone and you hit hub it tells you they discontinued their app store. Might be the reason. But I could be wrong. What app are you trying to get ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
I fear the worst if Odin won't work. The next and last option is through Linux. I'm rusty on Linux so recommend someone else helping or seeking help in another/own thread and/or Internet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aphlatoon:
Samsung still has the app store, I got the apk from their website. I was trying to install samsung gear manager for smart watch. It was working like a champ on ver1. Now it says can't connect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mario119:
The phone won't even boot into recovery. I'm afraid it's hard-bricked.. It is also my only phone at the moment, my other phone I had I dropped into water. No warranty on it either. Doesn't help that I'm broke ATM.

Hmm, it seems someone has a similar problem to me over in the SCH-i545 Support thread. I was actually not flashing this ROM (as it wouldn't work), rather I was gonna try out Super6 v1.8.7 by gigiles. I posted over there, hopefully someone might be able to help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Recommend continuing your issue in that support thread, start your own, or PM some of the devs. The ROM threads are suppose to be specifically for that ROM.

[MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] - is there a possible preview of this anywhere? screenshot or gif? Also, I did a clean re-flash. Superb job man! Wish I was home to test all the casting & screen mirroring fixes...

[MENTION=5630976]NascarBoy119[/MENTION] Please post your issues in the right thread. Your not flashing my rom so why are you posting here??? Seriously. You clearly don't follow instructions or read as proven on page 179 where you said it wasn't anything you did but yet you had the order wrong.........we are here to help everyone but be respectful when people are going out of their way to help. Your getting an attitude which won't get you anywhere.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mario119:
Yup, it is. I suppose I shouldn't really be posting over here until I get my phone fixed. There will be no flashing of any ROMs until then. Besides, I'm not going to try that other ROM again if I get my phone fixed, don't want to take a chance. If I do fix it, i'll try flashing this ROM once more.

For your information, i was following your instructions while flashing your ROM. Under the OC1 Installation section, you posted this: [quote-stang5litre] 12) Make sure the order is Wipe, ROM, Kernel, UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.49 Beta then press the lightning bolt and hit "OK"[/quote].

This is what I replied:

Also, no I'm not trying to have an attitude in the slightest. Everything I've posted here, aside from one post, has been on topic regarding your ROM. I'm disappointed that's the impression you're getting of me. Ah well, to each there own I suppose.

[MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] I was able to find the gear fit manager apk and got it running with no issues. Thanks!

Thanks man. And as always thanks for serving our country ?

Not to continue a post that belongs elsewhere but you cant get into CW recovery or you cant get into service mode??? I cant see you bricking the phone to the point you cant odin.... try taking the battery out and plugging in and powering into service mode... but Im on MDK so not sure about all this fireflashing stuff.. :/

OC1 success

Its good to mention this in the "OC1 Installation" :

*Make sure the order is Wipe, ROM, Kernel, UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.49 Beta then press the lightning bolt and hit "OK"*

If not, hold to rearrange them to be in order :D

Ok haven't updated my rom since cygenmod 4.4.4 Its gotten to the point where my phone is so fragged im about to throw it. After a lot of Rom chasing I want to give this a go but a few quick questions...

#1 stability... phone, messanger and GPS are at my top everything else is whatever as long as she dont crash

#2 Best set up.. Im MDK what are you guys doing kernal and modem wise for best battery and performance

#3 whats the best CWM/TWRP version to use I checked the OP but didnt see

#4 and last.. should I just wipe in Twrp/CWM or would a full odin to mdk and flash be best??

Thanks in advance guys this rom looks pretty dope!

Ohhh and Gapps??? do i need to download or she baked in... lol baked in im old

I may have miss read so I apologize. Your gonna have to use the jtag method now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beej1970:
I don't have mdk, but I can say the ROM is very stable, phone, messenger, GPS are all great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Just to add a bit.

I'm on TWRP 2.8.40 and worked just fine.

I would suggest starting with the baked in kernel from [MENTION=4939386]Surge1223[/MENTION].

I would probably try a simple full wipe to start but not sure if you'll run into any problems or not. I was coming from an earlier TW ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SO_dank:
lol at this point im trying it anyway but hows the battery life.. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Revo\t:
I too get the bootup sound that stops midway with the black screen. 3rd attempt.. OC1 stock.

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

Mine's been pretty good. Certainly better than stock OC1. I am using Avast Battery saver just for a little more savings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
I'm on MDK. There are many posts already that describe some of the answers you seek but since I'm bored, here are my answers:

1. They work, especially MMS and GPS which have failed me in other ROMS.

2/3. Look at my sig... I'm on OC1 modem

4. I've never Odin on my unlocked MDK bootloader phone so don't know if it's personally better or worse.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SO_dank:
Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I am glad I am not the only one cracking that mark!!! And the fact that your not on MDK like I am means SS/FF users will have better battery than v1. [emoji48]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Just wipe and flash on MDK. No need to go back to the beginning. Kernel is already baked in so just the Rom for you. I used TWRP. Everything works as well.

Wow this is like a whole new experience for me... been a long time since I was a flashoholic!! Thanks stang!! I have one question... Is the youtube mod available to flash?? Just to put it out there I searched pretty well and found a bunch of how to get rid of it posts.. But I love the idea of youtube with screen off and didnt see it.... Again awesome!!!! this is gonna keep me busy for a while setting her up... Thanks a mill
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Glad your enjoying it. Makes all the time and hours spent on it worth it. And yes sir I still have the mod'd youtube for screen off. But you can't ever update it or it obviously messes up the mod. Or you can use the factory one and use xposed with the YouTube module back round play and it does the same thing. Let me know of you would rather just have the apk for the non xposed version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Build prop tweeks and some other things inside the Rom I adjusted the values to have different intervals. Took a min. But it seems so have worked great. glad your liking it as of today hahaha. You'll be on HD tomorrow . Than who knows the next day. Flash aholic [emoji38]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
New comers please after you experience the rom if you would Rate it I would appreciate it. It's on the front page of op at the top. There are tabs. This is also where I want you to place your requests for mods / what you would like to see in future builds. If I can do it I will. If you talk to anyone in the thread they will tell you I answer all my PMs and never give up till success is reached.

Thanks everyone and enjoy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:

Mine still isn't working as well. When I restart my phone, is when it keeps asking me to re do my pin code and update security again.

At times, the default email app gets to where it doesn't want to send mail anymore either. I just downloaded the Mailwise email app which does whatnI need. I am also using the calendar called aCalendar and it seems to be going well. You did tell me to send you my build.prop so that you can look at it. I haven't yet, as I am trying to make sure it's nothing on my end. I re downloaded the rom and am going to flash it again.

Thanks for you hard work!

In order for me to get my work emails and work calendar, my company requires admin rights ao they can wipe phone and they force the security setting on me.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mhaas75:
My phones have been modified for the last 10 years with this company. Possibly because they are my personal phones.

As for the other part of your comment, who the hell is freaking out? It surely isn't me! I'm not bent or even upset. I will eventually make whatever work!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NapalmDawn:
Damn :( I boot looped again. Flashfire seemed fine. Had everything in the right order from top to bottom (wipe, rom, firmware,super su, kernel). Rebooted once and said custom with the open lock. Did it once or twice more. Then it booted to the samsung logo, rebooted to ye old open belly android. The bootloader is now oc1 and I have more options to the stock recovery than I did on unk1. I wiped cache and data from recovery, still in the bootloop :\
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beej1970:
Order is :

Wipe, ROM, kernel, supersu

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

Also I'm assuming you gained root (Kingroot) and used super sume?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] firenemesis7:
Still getting a some symlinks failed when trying to flash the rom in flashfire. Repeated the same process 3 times wipe, flash rom, flash kernel, flash su, and keep getting the,same error. I am on stock rooted with supersu. Not sure what else I can try
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oraixearl:
Is the rom on your internal or external sd? Don't know if it would cause issues but some people were having problems flashing v1 from external...just a thought
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NapalmDawn:
Hi Beej. Even though the OP had the order you listed, I thought I read a few pages back that the kernel had to be the absolute LAST thing in the order. Yes, it was rooted hence the ability to have flashfire installed :) It was running supersu, busybox pro, flashfire, no safestrap. I was on 4.4.2. Klab and Stang had been helping me last night prior to the new flashing kit today.

Since I got things out of order, how might I correct this from being in a bootloop into recovery? I'mma take a shot in the dark and maybe assume Odin will get involved here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bones519:
So, I was having a similar problem. I had used Muniz_ir's method to upgrade to oc1 and keep root. I used ff to upgrade to his deodexed stock rom which was oc1 build with nk1 bootloader. It worked great for that. But I could never get ff to restore a backup that I made because everytime I used the ff method to flash this rom, it would have that symlinks failed thing and then complete the rest which left me after reboot with a factory reset rooted muniz_ri stock rom. As if all I did was wipe. I tried and tried and it just would not work and the only suggestion seemed to be to Odin. Well, I was away from home and didn't have access to my computer so i wanted to try something else. I put ss back on and used those instructions. Nc5 flash tool to make it work and coming from oc1 instructions for using ss. It worked! :) Hope that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beej1970:
Since you were on 4.4.2, I'm guessing you have mdk? From what I know if you Odin, you'll lose root (not sure how to get that back, but I'm sure you do).

If that's the case, you should be able to use SS. If not what bootloader are you on?

Sooooo.........

Flashfire is having issues with symlinks and metadata commands in the updater-script??

That is weird.

I know we can't post it publicly but can anybody try using an older version of FlashFire and see how that fairs?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beej1970:
I think I misunderstood your need.

I assume you tried the old "remove battery" gig? If so, then yes, Odin may be your only savior.

I really hope I'm helping and not talk out, butt. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] firenemesis7:
I have tried on both internal and external. Think it might be flashfire because I am not sure what version I was on when I originally flashed v1 and it worked. I just downloaded from the playstore after I had to Odin back to stock. I do not have and original flashfire apk from the first time I flashed v1.

Yes, I had been on 4.4.2. Over the weekend, I flashed via flashfire up to the rom without the bootloader being on OC1. Klab caught the issue and had me odin back to nc1. I regained root via towelroot and prepped for the new flashing method that Stang put out. I followed it to a T minus the order of the last 2 because I thought I read something a few pages back that the kernel should be the last. Can I Odin something like a stock oc1 rom now that I am on the oc1 bootloader, gain root via kingo, put on supersu, busybox, flashfire and attempt to reflash from there?
