Is "wiping Davlik" wiping Davlik cache, and "wiping Cache" wiping Cache partition ?

Haven't flashed a ROM in years.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Correct [emoji106] [emoji39]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] micallen:
Well, I'm stuck at the Setup Wizard. Nothing happens from there. If I hit next, and next again, I get a FC every time. I did reorder the items in Flash Fire so the wipe was in front of the 3 zip files (and they were in the correct order.)

I never saw stang5litre power.

I've rebooted a few times and it comes back to setup screen. I've also let it sit for 10 min or so.

Help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mgm101990:
I am having the same problems, tried it about 5 times. I downloaded stock of1 from sammobile, flashed in odin, rooted with kingroot app, installed supersu with supersume. run flashfire, the flashfire install take about 2 minutes or less and boots me into setup wizard even in the zip where i deleted setupwizard.apk. My only guess is that when flashfire reboots and starts installing it is hitting some sort of error and booting me as if i just did a factory reset. Does flashfire have a progressbar at the bottom? It appears to be one and if it is this never moves.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] micallen:
UPDATE: I pulled the battery, pulled the sim, and powered on. It let me setup (add wifi) and booted up. Looks like all I did was a factory reset.

If I followed all steps in order, what went wrong??

I didn't lose root, just had to D/L SuperSU again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jwhistler:
It would help if you indicate what factory base ROM you are booting from and what custom ROM you are booting to. Are you moving from MDK ROM or OF1? Are you using Safestrap, or Fireflash?

If you are using Fireflash: be sure that wipe has not moved to the bottom of the list. If it moves to the bottom, you must press, hold and slide WIPE to the TOP of the list. If you're using Fireflash, the symptoms you describe are caused by wipe being pushed to the bottom of the list.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] micallen:
Using FireFlash, and it did move Wipe to the bottom. I did the press and hold and moved it above the 3 files to flash (but not necessarily to the top).

OF1 , loading non-MDK v3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jwhistler:
Wipe

MUST

be the first step that is executed when you flash via Flashfire.

In Flashfire / Actions:

Add Wipe and check System Data/3rd Party Apps/Dalvik Cache/Cache Partition

Add Flash Zip = Stang non-MDK (if you are on OF1)

Note: Wipe gets pushed to the bottom of the list!!

Add Flash Zip=VZW_OF1_WifiFix.zip

Add Flash Zip=SuperSU-v2.49 Beta.zip

Now...press and hold WIPE and slide it back to the TOP. Make sure Auto-Mount is NOT checked.

Double check the order....double check the order :)

Now flash...be patient it will take about 3 minutes to get to the boot screen as Flashfire does its thing, and another 5 minutes for a complete bootup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jwhistler:
Here's what your Fireflash screen should look like when you press FLASH:

Hi all. Just got a used cell from work and I don't believe it was ever rooted.

I am having issues installing non-mdk v3 (md5 checked on rom) I am using OF1 instructions with FlashFire and am on OF1 BL rooted (verified through Terminal Emulator). After taking instructions one by one, the latest FF hits the ROM part (I did proper order and corrected wipe part to 1st procedure) and about 1/4 of the way of install status bar, reboots to Samsung screen then comes up into wiped stock (it's not fully wiped, because root is still intact, though other non-stock apps are gone). This is probably because of 3rd party apps portion of FlashFire wipe I take it? It shows experimental - should I try installing ROM w/o wiping 3rd party apps?

I did install SuperSU and root apps work fine

Any pointers, as I am going nuts!? Thanks@!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] micallen:
It seems like that's exactly what it looked like. I'll give it another try tomorrow at lunch. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jwhistler:
All these problems are very curious...I've used this procedure 1/2 dozen times with no problems. Are you wiping cache partition, as in the attached image?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mugsy77:
Yes. I watched FlashFire more carefully this time, and it shows I545VRUGOC1 as I am installing the ROM part of FF procedure. I have checked under terminal emulator and settings and it shows OF1. Now I am totally lost! What do you all think?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jwhistler:
Odin back to factory stock OF1 and begin again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mugsy77:
Can try. Just wanted to make sure I did everything before it came to that. Will report back after. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Sorry wasn't able to answer till now. FF glitches . As you can see the rom works fine. This is why SS and any other recovery are superior. But sounds like it got stuck at the end of the flashing process. There is a bar and it does dill fill up blue while progressing.

Also you didn't follow instructions. WIPE has to be 1st when flashing any rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] micallen:
Gonna try again now. I forgot I already have what I need on the SD card now. Just need to D/L FF again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Make sure to take your time and make sure order is correct. FF will get you every time. Before you hit lightning bolt make sure it looks like the picture [MENTION=2877135]jwhistler[/MENTION] posted

That fixed the power menu options! Still no torch on the notification toggles, but this flash file was just for power menu, correct?

Looks good... thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Ya that was just for your power menu. [emoji48] . Did you do anything besides move them as far as your toggles go? Gonna re check my mod tonight but if it had torch (flashlight in your notifications should be staying with that torch apk)

Sent from my stang5litre Edition 5.0 v3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jwhistler:
Yes, the only thing I did was to move a couple of the toggles. I don't even think I moved the torch toggle, just a couple of others that I wanted on the main banner...

Is there a separate torch.apk?? Did I miss something important?? :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Yes there has to be a apk called torch in system /apps if you don't have this apk. That's the reason it's gone. Dependent on this

Remember I told you to check your apps for it?

ROM is very smooth but I cannot get back into safestrap when rebooting.

Coming of a NC5 with SS installed and was running 4.4.2 Empty galaxy. Now when I reboot, safestrap loader comes up with the continue and recovery option, but it will not automatically load in 10 seconds like usual. I have to hit one of the buttons, and it will only reboot the ROM, even if I hot the Recovery button. Also, it cycles between 2 and 4 times making me hit the buttons again after popping back up before it will load ROM. Do I need to reinstall SS, and if so, which version as 3.72 was for KK ??

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EdgardoSchiffer:
SafeStrap it's not compatible with Lollipop, if you wanna use SafeStrap you need to flash NC5 kernel to access again to SS recovery, I would suggest you to use FlashFire(to install any mod) and unninstall SafeStrap, whenever you want to install another rom install again safestrap and NC5 kernel and you will be able to use SS again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jimmyUT:
So does that mean I can't have any type of recovery option with LP? I am ok if safestrap is gone, would just like to have a backup option if something goes wrong
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] steepdgaf:
Just wanted to thank you again for all your help. Unfortunately Dirty flash put my phone in boot loop but I was finally able to clean flash and everything is back up and running great. Quick question for all, does anyone else's private mode work on non-mdk work? Mine went thru the tutorial but won't turn on.

I need someone on OC1 base to run an command for me and and Put the file in a drop box or something I can download it from. I am trying to help out [MENTION=3882913]rprussell[/MENTION]. Its really easy to do but you do have to do it right and have to be OC1 base!! Below is the commands and what needs to be done.

(OC1 with root access) We need to create a dump of about 128MB. You can do this by using ADB shell and type

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/dump.bin bs=128 count=1000000

This will create a 128mb file on the internal storage of the phone

After you have done this please save it on the computer or upload to whatever file sharing site you use. I appreciate your help in this matter as he is currently sitting with no phone and needs this file to see if we can get his phone back up and going. I would do it but I am on MDK. If you have any questions on how to do it or anything regarding it please feel free to PM me.

Thanks in advance for you help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Look at [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] s sig and he has what version of SS you need to use for Lollipop as well as the forum that shows how to use it.

:) Don't go FF method as it is horid. But you will have to use nc5 like [MENTION=5487429]Edgardo_Uchiha[/MENTION] said. But read the forum 1st before making your decision

Your welcome [emoji106] I am working on Private mode, it works but you have to have a enforcing kernel, which you guys don't have on Non MDK. The reason is private mode requires KNOX, This rom has none lol, but I am working on the code to make Private mode think it has it so it will work. This is why I didn't put Private mode as a mod for v3. But its in there so I don't have to add back to settings and so on when I get that figured out. Right now just use a app from playstore for that. :good:

Flashing a phone for a co-worker now that is exactly like mine (rooted it for him last week.) It did the same thing mine did yesterday. And I KNOW the steps were followed correctly. I just flashed this on my phone last night !!

Anyway, like my phone, I will reconnect to wifi, Google, D/L FF again, and try again. Second time seems to be the charm. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] micallen:
So the second time did work. Everything looks as is should, but WiFi doesn't work. When you turn it on, it turns itself right back off. Is there an easy fix for this??

OF1 , loading non-MDK v3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jwhistler:
You definitely flashed VZW_OF1_WifiFix.zip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] micallen:
Yep. Can I reflash just that file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rprussell:
Careful. This is the path I headed down when I bricked mine. No amount of reflashing that fix file got my wifi working, and I ended up trying to flip-flop to Phoenix and the thing came up dead. Go slowly and check in here often.

Are you on OC1 or OF1?

And if you're on OC1 and rooted could you please do this for me? It might be my last chance at getting my phone back...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] micallen:
OF1. Sorry.

Oh walk very very very very carefully :fingers-crossed:

ok, turns out he can work with an OF1 dump as well. Are you game?

I'm grasping at straws here ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] micallen:
The phone is not mine, & I have left work now. I was flashing a co-workers phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jwhistler:
I think you could try a dirty flash, but might be best to wipe dalvik and system cache? That's what I would try, but you might want a more definitive opinion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Berchtwald:
Hey everyone,

I've been on the 2nd version of this rom for months now. I tried flashing the third edition and everything seems fine until I get to the setup. At the third screen of the setup when I click next, instead of taking me to the wifi selection it gives a "Settings crashed/stopped working" error. After that it just goes back to where it was without advancing. Now while I found a solution on how to get out of the setup temporarily and use the phone (until I press the home button again; also can't use notification center), I am unable to skip or finish the tutorial permanently.

I've tried going back to stock oc1, rooting, flashing stang5litre v3 again and so on, together with the kernel. I repeated the same process with of1 (I even upgraded my modem from oc1 to of1), but the same thing happened. Does anyone have any clue as to why this is happening and how to fix it? I'd really want to get my hands on the 3rd version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jwhistler:
If you are on OF1 bootloader, I would Odin back to stock factory rom and start from scratch. Sounds like you've flashed back and forth and around and it would be difficult to troubleshoot what went wrong where. Easiest thing would be to start with a clean slate. From their, migrating up to version2 should be a cake walk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] micallen:
It just dawned on me I can do this with my phone. I was thinking earlier you needed this with the non-working wifi. Anyway, working on doing this now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] di297:

Anyone had problems with the settings? I get a settings stopped message before finishing it and now Im stuck and cant do anything

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
You can flash the wifi fix by itself you don't have to reflash the rom. The modules didn't take is why you don't have wifi. Of1 wifi fix zip has both wifi modules and Of1 kernel. If your oc1 I have another zip

I am on MK2 rooted. Couple weeks ago, everything (images, camera, Verizon Messenger, Chrome, etc) started Force Closing. Then, couple days ago, I rebooted and it gets stuck on Verizon Screen.

I can get into Odin Mode on phone and Odin 3.0.7 on notebook shows connected device once I found stock cable. I am wondering if I have to first flash an upgraded stock firmware before I use Stang5litre Ediition 5.0. Any Help would be appreciated. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] uniroot:
I've been reading thru this thread. I have the non-MDK v3 ROM zip file downloaded onto the SD Card in my rooted OF1 S4. I also have the WifiFix file and the SuperSU file. FlashFire is installed. I think I'm pretty much ready to go.

Question: if it becomes necessary, how exactly do I "Odin back to stock"? I have Odin installed on laptop, just now sure where to get the stock file, or how to flash it.

Noob question I'm sure, but any help is appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] di297:
By re flash you mean download the rom in the sd card and then install it with the recovery or something with the flashfire?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Almaretto:
The only way I can put anything on sd card would be to put in adapter and load on computer. Although I think Odin acknowledges phone is connected by a message (<ID: 0/004>Added!!) and under ID:COM there is blue-highlighted "O:[COM4]," my phone currently neither fully boots up or is there any device in MY PC when connected via USB.

I can get into downloading/odin mode but I cannot reach any bootloader to flash or clear anything.

I do have flashfire installed, but that was actually the last thing I did before restarting and cannot actually get to it at this point.

I am trying to figure out if there are some steps, or what those steps are, that I can skip or do I need to somehow load stock firmware/rom/kernals via odin 1st before I can load Stang5litre.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Berchtwald:
I've done that several times too. Stock restore through Odin (both on oc1 and later on of1), rerooting, installing the required apps and then flashing using flashfire. Same issue every time. I'm doing it again now but to no avail. (This is when talking about v3. While v2 is not a problem)

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

I have the same issue as di297 with the "settings crashed" error during setup. I've gone back to stock using odin, rerooted and then flashed v3 again, but the issue remains. Tried on both oc1 and of1...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] micallen:
Reflashing the wifi fix didn't work. I'll try the entire wipe/flash of everything again. Fingers crossed.

---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 AM ----------

I did the entire wipe/flash again. The flash went fine. Everything seems OK except WiFi again doesn't work. Under Wifi, Advanced: the first two items are grayed out (Network Notification & Passpoint).
