So I just followed this on the ME7 bootloader on my SCH-I545 and when the flash finished I was given the "Unauthorized Software Detected" screen resulting in me having to odin the device. And advice?

I really need to do more research before flashing **** to my phone...I'm in the same situation as you, I just finished Odin'ing back to MDK...what steps did you take next?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] matthewjohnunderwood:
I got root back, installed TWRP and found a stock rooted OF1 rom to flash and a zip file to enable mobile hotspot.... downloaded titanium backup and adaway and killed all the bloat... been running it that way for a couple months... I like having full functionality. all the roms I tried did not have full functionality, that's why I went with a stock rooted rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RavenII:
Where can I find the rooted OF1 from?...and the tethering zip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] matthewjohnunderwood:
Here is what I ended up doing (follow the link below)... you can flash the ROM he links to (as well as the "enable mobile hotspot" .zip file) with TWRP....

and it is the OC1 rom not OF1. For some reason I thought it was OF1.

If someone finds an OF1 download that can be flashed with TWRP please post the link

Unfortunately, Settings has stopped

Hi,

I have a rooted I-545 Verizon Galaxy S4. Using Flasfire with I545_OF1_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip, I was able to successfully upgrade from KitKat 4.4.2 to Lollipop 5.0.1 .

Everything is working nicely, except for going to Settings and selecting Accounts -> Google, which crashes with this error message: "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped". As a result, I can't control Google synchronization anymore.

Could someone please help me with this problem?

Thank you in advance,

- Alex.

Getting to Google account sync settings via the stock Gallery

I used someone else's advice, and it worked:

"You can probably get to your Google account sync settings by running the stock Gallery app. Hit Menu button and select Settings from the drop down. That should get you to the Google sync settings.

Everytime I have tried, I get stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S4" or sometimes "Samsung Custom" screen. I do not get to the Verizon screen. I flash stock OF1 via odin, the root, replace kingroot with supersu, install flashfire, then flash the zip. I have tried wiping first, that didn't help. The 10 minute timer didn't help either. Any suggestions? I got the stang5litre ROM working earlier but xposed said it was odexed (even tho I chose deodexed) so I don't know what else to do...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Droidriven:
Go back to the stang5liter ROM if you can get it to work. You can deodex it yourself if you want deodexed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dutchgfx:
How can I deodex it? System/app has a bunch of folders. Each has an apk and then another folder inside with an odex file
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Droidriven:
Maybe this?

So it's possible that the ROM he says is deodexes really simply isn't? That's brutal...

Hopefully I can get a deodexed from to install with Ff..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Droidriven:
I don't know, you said it wasn't deodexed, I simply said if it wasn't then you could do it yourself. I don't know if the ROM is truly deodexed or not.

haven't put of1 on here yet but will do soon after. xposed will work with deodexed version, which could help with the lack of mods for of1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reliant_turbo:
If on of1, can the phone be flashed back to oc1 with Odin and then rooted with kingroot? I know the counter prevents going back to kitkat but I was wondering if it was incremented for of1.

Not a concern to me really I'm on oc1 with nk4 bootloader. Just curious.

I havent had any luck doing so!

I'm like you on nk4 bootloader but if I was a betting man I bet you could go back from of1 to oc1 then root using king root. But I'm not for sure. Really need someone that took the of1 ota to find out for sure.

I'm still on oc1 as haven't had time yet to set up my phone after the wipe usually a whole evening ordeal for me.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] guho:
Just flashfired deodexed OF1 from OP. Coming from OC1 NK4BL. After reboot and flash, my SCH-i545 S4 has been stuck on the red Verizon screen for more than the suggested 10-15 minutes. How much time should I give it before pulling the battery?

Update: after half an hour I got impatient and pulled the battery. Then I went into stock recovery and wiped cache &rebooted. Now got past the white on red Verizon logo immediately it displays "Android is upgrading" while optimizing 233 apps. So it is looking promising.

Update: all good now. Thanks OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EdrickMG:
Same happens to me often i have to pull and everything went fine after :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandoncampbell:
mine just gets to the samsung logo and freezes. ODIN back to NC5 rooted, downloaded flashfire and ran the deodexd and still same issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EdrickMG:
Mine have done that but usually occurs when i try to back up using FF the only solution i have found is to start everything again and try with Safestrap, remember FF its a beta so could have some issues like samsung logo boot and verizon loop also, but well to flash new updates i havent had problems so far
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brandoncampbell:
Pretty sure it says in the OP that you need FlashFire. 3rd time downloading the deoxed version and reflashing. Still sticking on Samsung Screen. Maybe I'll try the odex version.

Seems the regualr ODEX version works fine for me. - well atleast gets past the samsung screen. (i'm guessing after a while it will finish)

The Deodex version wont get past the Samsung screen.. - wish i could get it to work because i love xposed.

Question: I'm on a rooted oc1 and want to install the deodex rom. How do I restore back to oc1 if something goes wrong? I have used odin before. But I couldn't find the restore files for oc1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
You can Odin flash the I545_Downgrade_to_OC1.tar then re-root using KingRoot Desktop version. I also need someone that took the OF1 OTA to try downgrading using this file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
Try Odin flashing the I545_Downgrade_to_OC1.tar.

If it does not work you will need to Odin flash the OF1 full odin .tar to recover so have that ready.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] guho:
First S4 I got the hang at Verizon logo with the deodexed OF1. Then with my wife's S4 I instructed flashfire to reboot into recovery. So in recovery after flashing I wiped cache and it all went through without hanging. So that is my protip for those wishing deodexed OF1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pjhoody:
Tried to downgrade and when that didn't work I tried flashing the full OF1. Neither worked. Phone is at a 'software update failed' screen and won't boot up. Any ideas on what I should do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
There is no reason why you shouldn't be able to flash the OF1 full odin .tar. Try another usb port or cable. Then boot into recovery and do a factory data reset.

Also, which OC1 partition failed in Odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pjhoody:
Really strange. I'm using the .tar from this thread http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/development/odin-5-0-1-lollipop-oc1-t3174850

So I had to flash the PIT file by itself and that did the trick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tshelby73:
I hate flashfire got it to work once then went to use deodexed version now it wont work on either its really iritating me I have odined about 10 times now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] muniz_ri:
I recommend that you use FlashFire v19, added to OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tshelby73:
That's what I been using. I'm done for tonight been looking all over for my SD card that the cats stole and pulling my hair out with this then losing keys to car I have had enough for one day.

Did manage to get back to OC1 W/NK4 bootloader. I'll just turn off mms auto retrieve for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] linepoacher:
Thank you, followed your instructions and I was able to flash the deodexed version. Probably doesn't matter but in flashfire I wiped everything but sd card, flashed the deodexed version, flashed the tether file, then rebooted into recovery and wiped data and cache one more time for good measure. The restart stalled at the Verizon logo longer then usual but it eventually went through.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tshelby73:
For what it's worth when I was trying it seems it was rebooting before flash of system was done. When it did work it said rebooting or something to that sense. I even tried pressing the volume up button every few seconds.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] phil0sophic:
**Recommended** v19 FlashFire (Set your device date prior to 6/1/2015 in order to use this version)

Can the device be set into airplane mode and not change the date?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eddie Hicks:
That's why I decided to not bother with it. I found a way to stop the annoying full screen notification to update to it. I'm surprised I even received the notification since I'm rooted with King Root. There's a chance the update would not complete because I'm rooted but I didn't want to take the chance. The S6 has the Lollipop 5.1.1 update. I wonder if we will get that or if OF1 is it for us?

I check this and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S forum a couple times a week to see what's new. But I Don't post as often. My next phone will not be a Version Samsung. I'll go with something that is not so locked down.

I'm coming from full ODIN OC1 flash. I've used kingroot, then switched to SuperSU. After this, I installed v19 of fireflash and flash the zip in the OP. once that was done flashing, I went to stock recovery and cleared the cache. Now, I'm stuck at the Verizon logo.

any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] KKShiz:
I was able to FF the deodexed file without incident. In addition, it only hung at the verizon splash screen for less than the expected time (about 8 mins or so).

To all those who try this after me. Follow the directions to the letter. Thist includes the v19 of FF.

Thanks muniz_ri! I am now able to continue enjoying my S4.

Also, I haven't had Xposed Framework since I stupidly took the OC1 OTA. Am I correct in understanding with Lollipop you now have to flash all Xposed files via custom recovery? Since I don't have a custom recovery can I use FF to flash the Xposed files? Is it safe to install XF on OF1?

Thanks in advance.

Try flashing the deox version...

---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

Came from Locked Bootloader - to OC1 using the "beta" FireFlash steps when it first came out.

Had root with no issues....

Flashed using the steps above - the non-deox version - soft bricked the phone.

Loaded up Odin - downgraded to OC1 (using the file here)

KingRooted the phone (must use the desktop version)

Flipped KingRoot to SuperUser

Reinstalled FlashFire v19 (I may have used the newer version initially)

Flashed the deox - profit.

OTA OF1 root?

A friend used Samsung Kies to update the S4 yesterday, essentially taking the OTA update to OF1.

He would like to gain root access, but first I would like to confirm this is the KingoRoot you were referring to ("Desktop" is at the bottom): www(dot)kingroot(dot)net/release

Is there any reason this is the preferred method, over ODIN? Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beefcake550:
Thanks, I will give this a try shortly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] G.moe:
KingRoot doesn't work on OF1 yet, I believe, making the ODIN method the only option at this point. Feel free to try KingRoot; nothing bad will happen if it's unsuccessful.

I didn't get the Odin method to work? Has anyone been successful?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fudplayers:
Hello, I followed the instructions to go from OC1 to OF1, after Flash Fire did its thing the phone rebooted but is stuck on the black Samsung Locked screen. I went into factory recovery and wiped the cache and rebooted but the same thing is happening. I guess the big concern right now is the PC isn't seeing the phone. That really isn't good as far as needing to use Odin. I'm not sure how to get the computer is see the phone, I'm wondering if its because the phone is stuck on that one screen? Thanks for any help!

Update: So I did get the phone into download mode but every OC1 tar.md5 file I try to flash in the AP slot doesn't work. Odin doesn't respond so I have to close it out. I've tried 3 different Odin versions with no luck. Not sure what I should be trying to flash in the AP slot, kinda at a loss.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SnyderGuy:
Is this update even worth it? It is a root killer update. Nothing more. It fixes the stage fright security issue, the pin lock squares issue, kills root (except for this method), and kills exposed.
