agreed, that's was my fault, I just forgot that I can't rely on android, backup first - then play...

but still, could you point me what the reason why phone stuck on stang5litre logo, actually I understand now that it's not bootloop,

if I got it correctly, we need to have appropriate bootloader -> kernel -> wifi-modules,

as I can boot, I think my GOF1 bootloader is fine,

any way to reflash kernel without Odin/full wipe?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Can you get Into dl mode ? If so that's all you need for kernel(Odin needed though). That won't wipe Any thing. Worth a shot but I think you deleted to much. If your really good with adb you could possibly fix it that way by adding the files back. Not sure how experienced you are?

I have an mdk vzw s4. Was running google play edition for the longest time but need ANT+ support for a garmin hrm-tri heart monitor.

I installed this rom, install ant+ radio and plugins services but still can't get the app (wahoo fitness) and some others to recognize the hrm. ANT tester indicates no ANT HAL service installed and for "built-in firmware": NO SERVICE.

What am I missing? What else is needed to make it work?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gpz1100:
Looks like the following components are missing from this rom:

AntHalService.apk com.dsi.ant.server

ANTPlusPlugins.apk com.dsi.ant.plugins.antplus

ANTPlusTest.apk com.dsi.ant.sample.acquirechannels

ANTRadioService.apk com.dsi.ant.service.socket

Some of these can be installed from the playstore but the first cannot. Can the dev upload a flashable zip for these.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gpz1100:
AntHalService.apk module

Tried pulling the apk's from the stock oc1 rom then placing in system/apps/{respective folders}. Set proper permissions but all I got were bootloops.

Pulled the attached apk from an older NC5 stock rom which seemed to work.

Place in /system/app, set permissions identical to other apks (644 or 650). You'll need to install a few other ANT+ components from the playstore. End result is this.

----------------------------------------------------

Edit: One other question what version of xposed framework is compatible with the current version of this rom?

.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
I made this for my ROM for the Sprint S4 because they were not included in the Sprint firmware, let me know if it works.

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347818400

Also you can unzip the file and navigate to system/app and add any additional apks in the same fashion (inside a folder with the same name minus the .apk) and the updater script is already written to fix any permissions in the system file when you flash it.[emoji106] Then just rezip (normal compression, don't use 7zip) and flash in recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gpz1100:
^^Looks like both the version I'm using and yours are the same version # as reported by ant tester - 3.00 ANT Hal service. It's too bad this isn't supported under recent versions of CM or lineage os. With a mdk device I much rather have one of those roms than something TW based.

ROM not installed; phone reboots to regular ROM

Hey guys. This looks like a great ROM but my problem is, after flashing everything in FlashFire, it says "installing ROM, unzipping, extracting" or something like that, then the phone reboots and loads up the stock ROM. I've tried multiple times and I am using FlashFire 0.53 due to the latest one not working on my S4. Can someone please help?

Hmmm...are you following these instructions to the tee?:

1) Install FlashFire if you don't already have it

2) Hit the "+" button and select Wipe (Select System Data, 3rd Party Apps, Dalvik and Cache)

3) Hit the "+" button and select "Flash ZIP or OTA"

4) Add stang5litre Edition 5.0 v3NON-MDK.zip

5) Add OC1_Firmware.zip

6) Add OC1 SS/FF Flashable Kernel.zip

7.Add SuperSU v2.49 Beta

8) Leave "Auto-Mount" unchecked and make sure EverRoot is disabled

9) Make sure the order is Wipe, ROM, OC1_firmware, Kernel, SuperSU v2.49 Beta then press the lighting bolt and hit "OK"

Try to find Flash Fire v.24. It's the version I used in 2015 when LP update hit. If you can't find it lmk and I'll try to post it. This ROM is ABSOLUTELY solid. It was my daily driver for over 2 years and it never let me down. But I'm moving on to a new device with N and no more Samsung "sec" Knox qfuse blowing bootloader locking bs. Stang made Samsung Galaxy S4 usable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] moorecomp:
I had this problem and found it was caused by trying to flash the ROM when I had the phone plugged in to USB. Make sure the battery has a good charge before trying to flash. Also use the earlier version of FF and set date back to Jan 2017.

Hey Stang - I know you don't do themes, but I have to ask, "What's the easiest way to get a dark theme on My MDK S4 running V2 Stang ROM? I don't want to install Xposed (don't know how and fear it immensely), and can't use the Material Dark theme because I'm on Nova Launcher. Even if I reverted to TouchWiz, I still can't download the theme because I believe I uninstalled the app necessary to access the Galaxy Theme Store. I know I'm sounding like a total ditz here, but you've graciously helped me in the past and I'm sick and tired of my all-white Settings, Gmail, and Phone dialer screens.

As usual, all help GREATLY appreciated! I'd be on V3, but I still can't resolve the camera bug I shared earlier. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SupraLance:
Can anybody confirm whether this can be installed on PL1 using the OF1 instructions? Or do I need to ODIN back to OF1 to install this? Seems like that may be an unnecessary step since the ROM reverts to OC1 anyway, but don't want to be the test monkey, lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
You have to Odin back to OF1 or WiFi won't work.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
It's Flashfire, there's a version posted somewhere in the comments that works. Search "Flashfire v.53" in the thread search, it's posted by Ibuprofen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
I had just confirmed that the link was still a valid one.

The following link to the FlashFire v0.53 is just a copy that was Re-Signed in order to sever it from the Play Store solely to prevent the app from automatically updating because the newer versions doesn't work/play well with this device.

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634744214

It's not a hacked/cracked version...

If you have already or would like to purchase the app from Chainfire, the IAP (aka In-App Purchase) still works as designed.

Thank you very much for the reference My Friend but, the "All Knowing Spell Check" made the, understandable, change in my Member Name.

It had changed it from the correct "Ibuprophen" to the Medicinal spelling of "Ibuprofen" (which is actually my daughter's member name :D ).

It's no big deal and does happen... LMAO! :)

I have a question. Im running rooted pl1 and have flashfire .53 working. Verizon S4 locked bootloader. Can i flash stang5litre? I saw two different versions one based on note5 the other?

Will they flash safely? Im not sure if they are based on OF1 or OC1 ? I do know Odin refused OC1 but loaded PL1

Thx. Have read tons cant figure out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
I noticed that you had asked the same question on the following thread as well...

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3537781

If you have the PL1, you should be able to use either one (even if it states OC1/OF1).

The primary reason for many of the I545 threads (for locked bootloaders) reflects the OC1/OF1 is because of the OF1 was thought to be the last update from Samsung then they surprised us with the PL1 update.

[MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] or [MENTION=4310299]bilgerryan[/MENTION] can clarify this but, I believe that this threads development is more up to date than the Note5 development.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] atomicchaos:
I came across this thread a couple days ago as I dug out my old S4 to repurpose for my 12 year old son to use on a trip we have coming up. I had upgraded to PL1 stock, and followed the OF1 instructions. I've been through the process about 5 times, and spent hours trying to figure out my issue. I was able to get everything working throughout each step, but on the steps using FlashFire to update, I used .053 Pro that was posted earlier in the thread, and it would go through all the steps that I had in the correct order, only to reboot with the Verizon splash and no sign at all of anything but the stock image.

I read up through the thread and recently saw a couple people had a similar issue. One said they fixed it by disconnecting the USB from the computer during the upgrade, and the other recommended trying the non-pro early version of FlashFire. I almost ignored that last one, but at wits end, I searched for FlashFire .024 ( flashfireapk.com<slash>FlashFire-Download.html - I'm new, I can't post URLS due to forum rules ) and installed it. Of course, in doing so, I also had to set the clock back to 2014 or early 2015 so it would work. Upon doing so, I put the order in again, clicked flash, and when it restarted, this time there was no more Verizon screen!!!

Anyone installing this now, do yourself a favor and just go directly to version .024 and do the date change. I'm sure the pro version worked at one point, but after reflashing stock multiple times and going through the process, I think it's safe to say the pro version may no longer work correctly, or maybe it was just something with my phone.

Thanks to all those that have been involved with this creation and helping others!

Lock issues

Total newb here. I flashed my S4 GPL version to the tee. My only issue is the "lock screen." I have gone through the process 3 times with the same result. I can set the lock screen parameters but it only works after "hot boot." Any fix for this issue?

*****

HEAR YE! HEAR YE!

*****​

I just wanted to post the following, bottom line, process/steps regarding FlashFire and making it work for this development.

The information below SHOULD work for OC1, OF1 and PL1 Firmware.

***NOTE #1: Perform "Step 1" ONLY if you have any other versions of FlashFire installed. If you DO NOT currently have ANY version of FlashFire installed then please Skip to/begin at "Step 2".***

***NOTE #2: If you have/had performed any actions prior to these steps in trying to get FlashFire to work on your device, and these steps did not work for you at all, then you will (probably/more than likely) need to Re-Flash your devices Stock Firmware via Odin and start over again.***

1) Uninstall the FlashFire version that's installed on your device.

2) Download (don't install yet) the FlashFire v0.53 from the following link (This version has been severed from the Play Store to prevent the Play Store from automatically updating it).

FlashFire.ver.0.53.build.53.resigned.apk - Android File Host

3) Change your devices date to 10/09/2015 (the magic date) or FlashFire won't work.

4) Now install the downloaded version of FlashFire and you should be all set.

Good Luck Everyone!

Please let me know [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] and/or [MENTION=4310299]bilgerryan[/MENTION] if the above information is missing something, incorrect, needs something removed, etc...

[MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION], if you approve of the above steps, I would like to know if you would consider, either, placing them somewhere within the OP or just placing some type of reference there to this post. Please clean it up or anything else if you need to. I've got no problems with this if it helps the members in any way.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
I've never experienced this specific issue but, I did have a similar one and I ended up just starting over again.

I just re-flash the Firmware via Odin and start again...

I know that this is a pain but, I had to personally do this at one time about 3-4 times myself.

I just coin this as a "Hiccup Installation". Meaning that the installation just hit an unknown roadblock somewhere ("took a wrong turn in Albuquerque" as Bugs Bunny would say).

Help! Symlinks Failing!

I have been trying, without success to flash V3 of this ROM. I have successfully used Odin to go from PL1 to OF1. I have rooted with Kingroot and used Super-Sume to swith to Super SU. I am using FlashFire to follow the OF1 instructions. The ROM shows "Some symlinks failed". The Wifi and SuperSu packages are successful. It then plays half of the boot sound, goes to black and that's it. I have tried several times. I have also tried flashing the kernal first but that does not change anything.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ibuprophen:
In your Device Settings, scroll down to the bottom and select About, within that area, does your Baseband version end in OF1?

Also, towards the top of your Device Settings, in your Cellular networks and APN (Access Point Names) try selecting your menu and refresh your APN listing.

Some of the names I'm referencing may be slightly different as I'm trying to go by memory because my S4 is not with me right now (my daughter is using it).

Baseband version is actually PL1.

Verizon APN is there by default and is greyed out. I tried using a global sim card as I am outside of US right now and it works, I only had to manually input an APN for the internet to work, but WiFi I assume is separate from that and still doesn't work.

I had the same issue as others have mentioned on earlier pages with not being able to move along the Setup Wizard which was causing FC on the moment where you press Next and it supposed to go to WiFi setup. I managed to exit out of it and tried enabling wifi but it just doesn't even turn on. I went into settings and the slider for turning on WiFi just doesn't work as if I don't have it in the device sorta thing.

Odin OF1 tar and reflash ROM, that should solve your issues.
