Quick question please.

ROM notes indicate it's possible to play YouTube videos with screen off. How is this done? I poked thru all of the settings and menus this weekend but apparently can't find what's needed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
For YouTube without screen on you can either dl v1 of my rom and take the mod'd YouTube app and it will play with screen off. However the app can't be updated. So I took it out on v2 and above as you can just use a closed module.

Sounds like the order is in correct. Can you give me a screen shot of FF how you have flashed ?

Anytime , it's such a weird bug... tried to nail it down but you don't really get a catlog or anything to even diagnose. The others with non mdk it works so it's like ??? It's a little weird and something I was never able to pin down 100% what is causing that for only certain people. You didn't do anything wrong. Seems like it picks phones. But glad you enjoy it. Use pattern as it persists after reboot until we may find a solution [emoji106]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] uniroot:
I have v3 of your ROM. Loving it, BTW. Been running flawlessly for months and months. Anyway, to get YouTube to play with screen off, you're saying I can dl v1 and somehow extract the YouTube app from that version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 3link22:
Verizon s4 not update new port rom..stopping update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Yes sir. [emoji2] [emoji106] . Go to my android file host and dl v1 open zip, go into system/app and get YouTube .apk. replace yours with this one. Don't update it. Also you have to turn it on under settings in YouTube just a heads up [emoji48] [emoji12]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] uniroot:
Damn, I love this place. Your instructions were perfect. Thank you for taking the time to help me out. Cheers!

I attempted to flash this last night on my VZW S4 on 4.4.2. I successfully got it rooted, installed BB, SuperSU all no problem. Installed FF and began to follow the directions and after the wipe, it beings to install the package, and in about 10-15 seconds it locks up, goes black screen, and the phone reboots into recovery. I choose reboot phone, and it boots back up, wiped, and having to start all over from scratch again. I didn't have enough time before bed to attempt it a second time, but in the mean time, any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Your not moving wipe to the top. Flash Fire reads from top to bottom. Top needs to be wipe. Drag and drop order and you will have success
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] seanzy13:
No it was def the first thing on the list. Took me a while to figure how how to move it but I am certain it came first as I saw the wipe happen, but then the freeze up occurred on installing the the first package.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] seanzy13:
I will add that I'm coming from NK4, the mini patch before OC1, and I am having issues flashing the OTA update as well. That is what started my entire venture to install this rom. I wanted to get to 5.0+ but for some reason my phone wouldn't take the OTA update to OC1. I did a full wipe and start over, still wouldn't take the update, so I proceeded to check into custom roms and ways to do it and that's what landed me here.

I am able to get root by flashing the NC5 kernel, using towel root, and flashing back to NK4 kernel. SuperSU, BB, and root check all install and work fine, confirm I have root access. FF installs fine, and fires up fine, but it crashes to black screen upon starting to install the rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] seanzy13:
I just attempted it again, and it manged to complete the install this time correctly. It hangs now at the Samsung S4 screen, never boots up, and reboots into the OC1 recovery. Attempts to reboot result in the same thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
Are you able to provide screenshots or have another phone to take a pic(s) to upload?

Just out of curiosity to possibly help reflect the issue for the dev(s) to pinpoint your issue better.

I'm not critiquing... just asking/suggesting :)

Thanks a bunch!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] seanzy13:
I did take a video during the flash as I expected it to fail again and wanted to record it, however it worked this 2nd time, now the phone just won't boot. I made another video of the reboot cycle now, and am uploading to YT so I can post them for you. I seem to have access to the recovery logs thru the newer OC1 recovery, so I can post any needed information from there, but unless there is an easy way to export them it would be a ton of screenshots to get it all. Can do however if necessary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
I apologize if I had thrown anyone for a loop as i am not a/the dev...

I was just stating that some issues really do require a bit more information that the dev(s) can go by in pinpointing what may have went wrong and provide a solution/suggestion in resolving issues.

There are individual(s) (not saying you specifically/solely) who posts a problem and doesn't even state the smallest additional information (ie... the Make, Model, Firmware Version, etc...) that really does help them in the long run.

In addition, maybe someone with the same device as yours can help you out but, that individual wouldn't know it if the individual(s) having the issue doesn't state it.

I'm not harping on you specifically, just making the obvious... obvious to those who may not realize this.

My final thought for others to remember (YAY!!!)...

1) A stupid question is a question not asked...

2) There are no stupid questions, just stupid answers.

LMAO!!!

Peace and Love!

Peace and Love!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ninjasinabag:
I dont know if its even possible, but i followed all the steps to installing the OF1 version. upon finishing the flash sequence, my phone rebooted back into stock touchwiz. No sign of your rom on my phone. (This is after wiping system, which should completely get rid of the stock system)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] seanzy13:
So far haven't gotten anywhere. I even tried wiping cache again and still no boot up. Just seems like a kernel problem to me, but I've been out of the modding world for atleast 5 years prior to trying to root this phone, so I really have nothing to justify a kernel problem besides a feeling. Not really sure what to try at this point. I would like to try some more attempts before having to odin back and start all over once more. Is there any way to flash this rom via odin instead of FF, as I can't boot into the phone anymore?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Krog18:
No you can't flash the rom with odin. I think your only option is to odin stock fw and start over again. If you read through the thread a little (I know it's a lot) you'll see many have had this issue and sometimes takes 4 or 5 attempts before it actually sticks. It seems to be an issue with flashfire and the s4, not the rom.

You could try downloading the rom again in case it's a bad dl. Try ff version 24. Others have claimed a specific version of supersu has helped as well. Use the search function to see what has worked for others.

Sorry you're having trouble and hope this helps. Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] seanzy13:
Gotcha, Thanks. At this point, do I odin back to 4.4.2 NK4 and start from there? I do have OC1 recovery now, not sure what all of OC1 took, but is it ok to just go back? Also where can I find these Odin-flashable firmwares? I remember a repository type website a while back but I'll have to look around for it again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] seanzy13:
Found NK1 firmware, and and NG6, but no NK4. Hopefully ok to go back to NK1? I guess I can also flash OC1 stock, and go from there I suppose too right? I guess which option is the best platform to start with to try and reinstall this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Krog18:
Maybe the above quote will offer you some assistance. Found it on pg 413 using the search function... [emoji6]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] seanzy13:
Just an update. I tried several more times last night, about 5, with same results each time. I was unable to get any sub v0.5 versions of FF to even load, they all FC upon opening for me. Tried different version of SuperSU, same results. I will be looking into trying to use safestrap instead as the flashing method tonight after work.

I need help after a reboot the viper Fx always stops working, and it is always a difficulty to reinstall the driver. [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] help me

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] madhits45:
Hoping someone can help me here. I have installed this rom some time ago via flashfire since I am on of1. Recently I wanted to make a build prop edit to add apn settings and the damn app cleared the build prop leaving it empty, which I did not realize. I then rebooted and now you can guess I cant reboot. I have looked into a flashable zip with the build prop included but it has not worked. I get package footer is wrong and signature it wrong despite me signing the flashable zip. So what can I do. I have used ADB in the past and believe its fixable via adb but I am on a locked bootloader so what is the process to re-flash the build prop?

I have full ADB access and can push sideload updates my issue is the footer and signature issue. Is there a way to sideload the buildprop without getting these errors?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tony332211:
Try Odin and flashing of1 again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] madhits45:
Ill have to go back to the Verizon org firmware and I will lose all my contacts, settings etc. Is there any other way?

I believe I have an almost solution, see below.. The problem is my device is unauthorized when I try to do adb devices. This is while allowing the device to boot in without the screen coming on. I can not see the dialog to allow me to confirm adb access. Is there another way?

Here are the steps to restore the build.prop settings.

1. Download android developer kit.

2. Connect tablet to (in my case I used a Mac) computer via USB Cable.

3. Boot tablet to "blank" screen.

4. Open Terminal and enter the following commands.

* cd /path/to/adb

* ./adb root #runs adb as root.

* ./adb devices #lists all connected devices, confirm your device is listed. If it is not, try disconnecting and reconnecting the USB Cable.

* ./adb shell #allows you to run a remote shell interactively.

* su #enters su.

* mount -o remount rw /system #mounts /system as rw.

* cd /system #puts you in the system directory of your device.

* ls -all #lists all the files in your devices /system directory. Look for a backup file of build.prop. If one exists, look at it's contents with less.

* less build.prop.bak #shows the contents of your backup build.prop file (the name of this file may very).

5. If you have a backup of your build.prop (and its' contents are correct), you can restore it using the following commands. If you do not have a backup, you will have to edit the file using vi (see step 6).

* mv build.prop build.prop.bad #renames build.prop.

* mv build.prop.bak build.prop #restores your backup of build.prop (replace build.prop.bak with your backup file name. If there is a space in the name, type \ before the space and hit tab. It should auto complete).

* exit #until you are back to your computers adb directory.

6. If you don't have a backup of your build.prop file, you will have to edit it with vi.

* vi build.prop #edits the file using vi (you will have to google how to edit this file with vi if you don't know how; I'm not doing a tutorial on vi :P).

* exit #until you are back to your computers adb directory.

7. Reboot your device! You should be back in business!!!

8. Enjoy!

Hi experts, I am on stanglitre and I did a factory reset of my phone from recovery screen. from then on phone goes to setup screen and once connected to wi-fi, it throws errror " Unfortunately, Setup wizard has stopped". Any Idea how to overcome this ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
You will have to download the Samsung Firmware and re-flash it via Odin. And start over again.

Sorry...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
That error means that you are flashing a previous version of the firmware than you had before.

Which version was previously installed?

I believe that if you enter either the bootloader or download mode, at the very top of the screen are some lines of information (around 4 or 5, i can't remember) that should have the version you need in it. It's really small too. The version should start with "I545VZW" and the last 4 reflects the version you need to get. Flash that version.

I hope i explained it clearly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cooldude_world:
i am on version I545VRUGOF1. Is this the one which you asked? I am confused as to how I can flash stanglitre from recovery option. I dont have twrp installed on my phone and I cannot install any other custom ROM if I dont have TWRP. Thats why I used Odin and when I am using Odin I found only 4.4.2 stock rom in .tar format.

Is there any option for me to install stang5litre again from recovery boot ? Thanks again for all the help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
First of all, my apologies for stating that the firmware version your looking for begins with I545VZW when i meant to state I545VRU.

I'm familiar with this because I too have a Verizon GS4 with a firmware version that's unlockable and I had rooted it and use Flashfire.

Secondly, just think about it...

Your system firmware version is I545VRUGOF1...

The 4th line of the error message is actually reflecting that the firmware version your trying to flash, which is "I545VRUFNK1" is not the one you need. That is actually older than the version you need.

The firmware version you need to download and flash, via ODIN, is the "I545VRUGOF1".

Lastly, after rooting your phone, using Flashfire and making certain alterations (that could include a variety of things), makes it impossible for your device to perform a factory reset via the devices recovery.

I can't recall 100% but, i believe that Flashfire has a system reset feature in it. I can't personally confirm that because I have been using my Verizon GS3 for a while now because i need to get a replacement battery for my Verizon GS4.

In closing, always remember that you take a risk that anything can happen when you alter/modify a device by unlocking and/or rooting it. Always perform a backup as well as having the correct official firmware on hand just in case you need it (like now).

Remember this phrase:

"Always hope for the best but, prepare for the worse".

Good Luck and keep me posted on how it went with flashing the I545VRUGOF1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
By the way...

I found the PIT file for your device and I attached it here.

Just UnZip it and Place it in the "PIT" area in ODIN together when you place the firmware in there.

Good Luck my friend!

I've seen something about what you're asking somewhere around one of the forums... Hmmm...

Try performing an XDA forum search. Remember to use key words and try leaving out common words like And, Or, The, etc... Because the search will return results that will also include just those words too.

Good Luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skater95:
The search options sucks, especially on mobile. Already tried that, didn't come up with anything that's why I asked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
The app isn't to bad but, have you tried using a browser?

I do fall back on my browser for certain searches requiring me to use multiple tabs. I always recommend Firefox but, everyone has a different one they prefer the most.

Please help people, this rom is not booting up, i used flashfire to boot. My phone is stuck on samsung logo and nothing else is happening. Its been two hours already waiting for it to boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bjf189:
this is a great rom with cool effects along with the ultranote5 though it acted weird on prepaid showing it ran on sprint and settings wouldnt work properly so best avoided that. anyways hate to bother you with this issue [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] but its a simple request i have for you. not sure if your able to fix it or point me in the direction to fixing it but on the ultranote5 rom, you know how you can theme by using the samsung app store? it looks like the same concept with this rom but thing is everytime i try to go to samsung apps to get more themes, i always get error 2020. id really like to get more themes if youd be so kind. if its not possible to fix then maybe there is some way i can download and apply them externally? (example: downloading theme from site and applying within android)

---------- Post added at 05:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 AM ----------

if you used flashfire to install this rom and it says samsung as a boot animation then it didnt install correctly. it must of crashed and reset during install. that does happen at random. i find oddly that if you use kingroot then restart your phone, use super sume then restart again, then install busybox (i used pro version to do smart install)

then restart once more, fire up flashfire and wipe (all should be selected but tick that cache gets wiped to) then add what stang5litre has supplied with his instructions (careful not to misread or you could end up with a hard brick like i did) and make sure the order goes wipe, flash rom, wifi fix, supersu beta. and flash. you will see it flash three different things after wiping. the rom, wifi fix and supersu. after all is done, it will say rebooting...

if the screen goes black during install and restarts then the installation was a failure which is what it sounds like what you had. so start from scratch again. download whatever firmware you had on it. odin it back to stock and do the steps i mentioned above. keep trying. it will succeed at some point. flashfire isnt flawless but the dev is hard at work to making it to be.

Do note that super sume and busybox pro are paid apps so you should consider getting them if not already to improve your chances of a successful flash. thats just my way of doing it though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aaaamir:
I have tried 4 times, and odd thing which is happening that it boot again to stock firmware, i have not ale to understand this. 4 times tried and everytime it boots back to stock firmware which i installed through odin after getting stuck on samsung logo.

I have one other rom that is s6 port nd same happened, after flashing it booted back to stock rom.

My method,

1. Odin stock firmware

2. Kingroot

3. Supersume

4. Flashfire; wipe,rom,wifi fix, su zip nd then flash.

Really appreciate ur help mate
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bjf189:
I would try throwing busy box in that. Seems something isn't matching up with it. Are you certain that it is i545 model? That it is Verizon? I've heard you can't use roms on other models unless the dev ports it. If your certain and busy box still fails. I'm out of ideas. The dev of the rom would be better help I'm sure since he has a much better grip on the whole android system. He's just hard to get a hold of. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Retro295:
Similar issue here. Except mine gets stuck at a black screen upon reboot that says "system not responding" and I can wait or kill. I've tried flashing now 3 times and it's happened on every reboot. I have to then reboot the phone ~4 times before it gets me to setup, but all stock.

My method:

1. Had OF1

2. Kingroot

3. Replace Kinguser with SuperSU, root verified with app

4. Flashfire, quaruple-checked the order, it seems to reboot right in the middle of flashing the rom, seems mighty quick to me

5. black screen, system not responding..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aaaamir:
Exactly same is my case, it sems to reboot right in the middle flashing of rom, I have tried 4 times and always is the same result. I have confirmed everything model, rom and other pre requisites. All my efforts didn't produce any fruit.

Anyone kindly help plz
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ATGkompressor:
What version of FlashFire are you running? Try using v.24, it is the version that seems to work best when flashing this ROM.

I've also tried sideloading the Flashfire app to clear the dalvik cache, but it too FCs.

FIX:

Sideload newest Play Store and Play Store Services. Force Stop and delete cache/files. Reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Truthowl:
ummm... How do I know if it worked? I just followed the instructions for of1 and everything seemed to work as planned. But now that I'm back in and after i changed my supersu to grant by default, well, nothing is happening and it all looks just like it did when I bought the phone. I even have all the verizon and amazon stuff....

How can I tell if it's the custom rom?

Sorry, my first time trying a custom rom. Maybe this is how it's supposed to look?

By the way, I never experienced step 12

"12) When you get to setup and see stang5litre power wait 60 sec or 1 min whichever you prefer for my toggle mod to finish

if not you will get a fc and you just need to reboot and finish setup."

By the way, I put all 3 zips on my external sd and pointed flashfire there. Like I said everything seemed to work fine. Just no step 12 and it looks no different.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
