Boot loop after factory reset

Are there any news about the boot loop after factory reset problem?

I will test this on another GT-I9506 later.

Is this a TWRP problem? The only workaround I know is to wipe system and data and reflash from scratch, but this is very awkward. If you give the phone to the average user, the next factory reset will kill the phone.

After a lot of searching I got this solution (in German): "Ich musste nur im Recovery Booten und dann unter System/privat-app den Ordner "Setup Assistent" komplett Löschen neu Start und die Kiste Lief wieder einwandfrei."

Did that and now error-free, pffff.... I'm on 20160524 now and can update to 20160525 but Im scared to do so... ^^

Just installed 20160526: no problems :)

I'm using it for quite a while and it pretty stable. This being said I'm not using features such as audio/video recording nor bluetooth so if there are any issues I'm not aware of them.

Some people claims that all roms have issues with audio/video recording but kyasu/temasek unofficial builds works best for them.

The only thing which bugs me in this rom is when you answering a call via headphones only left channel is working (but music and other media is stereo just fine)

I'd recommend to install the latest one from cyanogen mod downloads page.

I personally flash updates every 2-3 weeks with TWRP 2.8.7.0 and had almost no issues.

But I recommend to create a backup of /data partition and previous rom just before flashing a new one

I messed a bit with the adopted/portable storage thing when I switched phones (previous Nexus 5 had no use for my then unused 64GB SD card). You will find a mount of the adopted storage under "/mnt/expand/???????????????????/" where the "?"'s will be unique to your device."

The problem I had was that this storage was not seen by the media scanner, so I would of needed to maybe add a mount with a boot script and also explicitly tell the media scanner to check my new mount location. Also, this storage is encrypted, so you cannot take the SD card out of the phone, to read/write to it on your PC or in another phone etc.

what i ended running with (since the phone has 16gb internal memory) is to add my card as 100% expanded storage, and then go into TWRP and reformat the card/partition as F2FS. This is in addition to already having formatted my cache and data partitions from EXT4 to F2FS.

I recently flashed a CM13 nightly onto a GT-i9506 - 2016-05-25 Nightly.

It was a clean flash (i.e. factory reset, then flash CM, then flash GApps Stock).

However, apparently, recently, the phone is rebooting whenever it receives a phone call.

I checked and "Phone" is set as the default dialing all. (I did see some mention of this needing to be done, but can't find the reference now).

However, the issue is still occuring.

Has anybody else seen this issue before? I didn't see it mentioned on the Known Issues section on the CM Wiki (https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Known_Issues_page_for_ks01lte), or the first post on this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9506-develop/cyanogenmod-13-0-galaxy-s4-lte-gt-i9506-t3276497

Is is possible to extract only the modem part of it and flash that?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] gebaya:
This is only the modem part, without the rest of the firmware. Only the modem will change if you flash it. And by the way, this ROM hasn't been updated in months, if you tried a newer one it may fix your problems. You can find up-to-date CyanogenMod by kyasu here:

Update baseband. Sometimes this is not so easy to do. So check if its updated with stock ROM before installing cm.

No. Its working properly. This is behaviour on android 6. You need to format sdcard to use it as extension to internal storage.

OK, thank you for the info.

Do I have to format it under Android, or will anything else do the job too, e.g. Linux, and what file system?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] solk2:
You have to do it on android. It merges data partition and sdcard into one DM disk. After that you can choose which apps you want to store on internal storage and which on sdcard. All media are stored on sdcard anyway.

Hello Everyone!

I think I'll try this new CM13 rom. I have a some questions before installing:

- is there any benefit in using CM recovery instead of CWM recovery (maybe for automatic updates?)

- where can I download the CM recovery (I didn't find it in the INDEX post)

- I hesitate between micro and mini open gapps: I saw that calculator and desktop clock replace the stock ones: is it good or not?

- should I choose the ARM or ARM64 version of the opengapps?

- I saw that a patch is necessary for the gapps to work on android 6.0: which patch is that?

- As I am coming from Arter's rom, I think I should first reflash via Odin the stock Firmware. Following the link in the INDEX Post, I saw that the latest variants are I9506XXUDOK1 and I9506XXUDOK2. I should flash DOK2? Does it matter if it is New Zeland although I'm in France?

Thanks in advance for your answers and merry Christmas to everyone!
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] downhere:
You'll find CM recovery here:

http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/140669/cm-12.1-20151223-NIGHTLY-ks01lte-recovery.img

I'm using TWRP without any issues.

Regular Open GApps 6.0 for ARM (micro in my case) should do the job. I didn't use any patch. ARM64 is not suitable for our device (32 bit CPU).

I came from stock CM12.1, and had Arter's ROM before too. I didn't need to flash stock Samsung ROM to get CM13 running.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] chfarges:
Hello!

Thanks for your answers. One last question: the CM recovery is an .img file. As I would install it over the stock firmware, I think it should be via Odin. In that case, it should be a zip file, am I right? If not, please tell me how to proceed.

Thanks!!

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

Finally, I have one more question. Should I flash the latest official firmware from my country (France) or the latest firmware in general (currently from New Zeland)? Does it have an impact on modem performances and MMS for instance?

Thanks!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] morben2:
Stock roms (original roms from samsung) are .tar.md5 files. These files must be flashed with odin using a computer, or maybe an advanced tool like Flashfire.

.zip files can be different things: recovery only, kernel only, a hole rom (without the bootloader & modem & ...partitions). These files are flashed using your custom recovery (CM,CWM,TWRP,...).

.img files can be flashed with root tools like Flashify (paid/limited free) or Rashr(free), or using the DD command if you know exactly what you are doing, or even your recovery (TWRP latest recoveries).

It would be an interesting feature (not having to bother with memory usage) but I don't want to loose the ability to make backups and restore.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] downhere:
Another issue (old one, but coming up as external SD card is merged with data):

The moment any app is installed on the external SD card and you put its shortcut on the screen, the shortcut is going to be erased every time you reboot.

One more point: widgets of apps on the external SD card are not listed/accessible.
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] sevenlife:
I have my external sdcard formated ext4 and works with no problems. At first boot phone asked me to reformat it, i didnt i just reboot and ok
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] downhere:
Android 6.0 gives you the option to use the SD card as removable external card or as internal card (merged with data). You can use Storage & USB settings for that.

Internal use doesn't make sense to me - app links on the screen (and probably widgets) doesn't work, and I haven't figured out yet how to put my files on that.

Only problem with using SD card as external is the storage name... I'd prefer a common name instead of the storage card's name (xxxx-xxxx).

Thanks for your answer. So you have formatted as external from Android 6 right? If so, when you reboot to your recovery, are you still able to make backups on this external sd card?

Sorry to insist again with this question, but having the ability to make backups from the recovery is important to me.

Thanks!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] downhere:
Yes, backup and restore are still possible with SD card formatted as external under CM13. I'm using TWRP recovery.

When I had the SD card formatted and merged as internal storage, backup/restore wasn't possible (SD card couldn't be mounted in recovery).

- mms working good?

- battery performance much worse comparing to 12.1 (in %)?
[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] downhere:
Hard to say atm... I'm back at CM12.1 for some reasons.

- Didn't do many video recordings with CM13. For those I did, the sound was OK but had to set the audio source to default instead of camcorder (Open Camera). While playing games I had to face distorted sounds, but listening to music was good.

- Never encountered that notification sound cut bug (neither 12.1 nor 13).

- I don't use MMS.

- Can't compare battery usage, as for testing purposes I did lots of things that were different to my daily usage.

It's enough if you just record a TV with normal volume level but in a quiet room. Best to use is Open Camera from Google Play.
