[Samsung Galaxy S4 VE Questions & Answers] GandalfThePink:
Hello everyone,

I was thinking about installing Lineage OS on my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9515 (Value Edition) currently running Stock Android Version 5.0.1 without root.

Is the version of Lineage OS and TWRP I found at https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-cm14-1-galaxy-s4-jfvelte-gt-i9515-t3534552 appropriate for that purpose?

Now, my confusion arises from the fact that different guides seem to give incomplete or even contradictory instructions on how to approach that. As a first step, I need to install a custom recovery, such as TWRP:

Does this require my device to be rooted?

Some guides apparently require my bootloader to be unlocked; Is this necessary? If so, how do I do that?

Other guides suggest that I use Odin. Is this the correct approach? Does my bootloader need to be unlocked for that method? Is a root required?

Anything else I should pay attention to?

Thank you very much in advance :o
[Samsung Galaxy S4 VE Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
You need to find a guide for your phone

Different phones have different processes

For example Motorola phones require you to unlock the bootloader where as Samsung phones Iv worked with you don't

Some devices you have to root first before you can flash twrp while others you flash twrp first then root

For most Samsung phones around the age of yours you can root using CF-Auto-Root

This is done via odin and all you do is put your phone in download mode load the img file into odin & flash

The same is true for flashing twrp

Here are the files for your phone

CF-Auto-Root

TWRP

Flash each image in odin
[Samsung Galaxy S4 VE Questions & Answers] mujtaba9999:
Not able to root S4 GT-I9515

I tried to flash CF-Auto-Root on my phone after completing the flash till reset on odin phone gets restarted and is showing following messages on top left corner on the samsung s4 logo screen

recovery booting....

RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

Set Warranty Bit: recovery

it is not going any further than this please help.
[Samsung Galaxy S4 VE Questions & Answers] raffux3:
the twrp file bricks the phone
[Samsung Galaxy S4 VE Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
What do you mean by brick?

Does the twrp boot?

You must boot twrp straight after it's flashed - if you don't and your phone starts to boot you need to reflash it (once booted to twrp for the first time the recovery will stick)

Also if you swipe to allow modifications in twrp your rom may not boot unless you disable dm-verity - this can be done with a root zip eg CF-Auto-Root or magisk

Remember you may need to do other steps like enabling adb debugging & oem unlock before using CF-Auto-Root

You also may need to root before flashing twrp

That is the twrp for the S4 GT-I9515 - if you have a different variant it will not work

If you have a different model of S4 check the twrp website to see if there is an official version

I don't own your device - I'm sure there's guides that will you step by step process if you Google
[Samsung Galaxy S4 VE Questions & Answers] raffux3:
when you install it with odin, it starts for some seconds and stops with a FAIL. So the smartphone become bricked!!! I have the same model of s4 (I9515)
[Samsung Galaxy S4 VE Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
Flashing a recovery should not brick your device - you are just replacing stock recovery with a custom one - your phone should boot regardless but anyway

I assume you have enabled USB debugging - enabled oem unlock (if it's on your device) and flashed CF-Auto-Root first

I also assume you are flashing the tar image in the AP section of odin (you may need to Unzip to get filename.tar)

If you have done all the above search Google for a step by step guide for your device

Since I don't own this device I can't offer anymore support than that
[Samsung Galaxy S4 VE Questions & Answers] raffux3:
of course. i have installed root before and after I tried to install twrp recovery but it failed. Now I don't know how I can do to restore my s4. :crying:

I'm trying all prcedures for install the original firmware but odin fails always
[Samsung Galaxy S4 VE Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
Long as it's the correct firmware for the device no reason why it wouldn't flash

Check download mode & make sure that the model number matches the firmware

If the firmware is also failing to flash I would guess there is a problem with your setup rather than the files (assuming the files are correct)
[Samsung Galaxy S4 VE Questions & Answers] raffux3:
I have re-installed the usb drivers and odin works fine finally. I will try to root and install twrp again...thank you for support

USB-C to USB-A OTG Cable -

Not able to power a simple external USB MSata Drive or External USB HDD - I plug these drives into a LG V10 or a Galaxy S8 and work perfectly fine. What gives? I have only able to get a flash drive to work.

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Amd4life:
I wonder if OTG power support was removed due to the decrease in battery size? Has anyone tried OTG "audio output", say through a device like the audioquest dragonfly, to see if that works??
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] jdrch:
I don't think so, since the notification that pops up when I connect 32 GB ADATA USB 3.0 flash drive -> USB 2.0 A female to micro-B male OTG cable -> micro-B female to USB-C male adapter -> Z2F says the Z2F is providing power to the connected device. The problem is you can't do anything else BUT that.

I'm wondering this myself. The fact that the Z2F outputs analog audio over USB-C leads to me to believe that it isn't fully USB-compliant.* Both the HTC U11 and Google Pixel 2 output digital audio, which, based on Google's crowing about USB-PD and the existence of devices like the dragonfly, appears to be the right way to do things (albeit with the tradeoff of more expensive audio peripherals, which much now have their own onboard decoding hardware.)

*Can anyone with knowledge of the USB spec comment on this?

BTW, I started a support thread about this at the official forum, where it's received several replies and suggestions from a mod. Kindly chime in there too so Lenovo can see this is a real issue they need to address.

---------- Post added at 12:46 ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 ----------

So based on this Motorola mod post and the OP's statement that USB-C flash drives work, the Z2F and Z have the same (lack of? LOL) OTG functionality. The Moto Z subreddit has a pretty extensive thread about Moto Z DAC functionality; it appears the Dragonfly is supported, among others.

Interesting development: another Motorola Forms mod now says powered USB hubs are rumored to work. We're making progress, folks.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] XE-Cherokee:
Okay fellas,

I so far have been able to get certain drives to work and others not! I have tried 2 different USB-C to USB-A cables and get the same results, 1st ones an HP cable and 2nds an Anker USB-C to USB 3.1 Adapter

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01COOQIKU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have been able to get a 256gb M2Sata Drive, 500gb WD Mypassport, and a 2TB Mypassport to read.

I also have a 256gb MSata Drive that will not power up or read without using a powered usb hub. However the Msata Drive will read without an added powered HUB. On the Samsung and LG Devices.

Only thing I can think of is that certain drives have higher amperage that the Moto Z2 simply cannot push through its USB-C Port.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] adventure_of_link:
Good to know it isn't just me experiencing broken USB OTG support.

I've got a PS3, PS4, and Xbox one controller I hook up with USB OTG. Normally it's as simple as plug n play and I'm good to go. However, that doesn't seem to be the case here. I can still pair the PS3/4 controllers in sixaxis just fine and get power to the PS3/4 and Xbox one controllers. And yes, that bit about supply power to device rather than transfer and you can't pick something else, happens to me too. Sometimes I can plug my thumb drive in and I can explore through the storage file explorer, but I usually have better luck with an app called X-Plore.

This one time I even had said thumb drive take out my entire OS to the point where I had to use that June ROM to reset me back to start. Spoiler alert: I kept getting "Android.process.acore keeps crashing" over and over; various other apps kept crashing as well.

On a side note if I can at least get PS3/4 controllers to work for a long time within say, sixaxis (or similar) I'd appreciate any tips. Otherwise I either gotta wait for this to be solved in a future upgrade, future sixaxis, or when we start getting custom ROMs..

Appreciate the heads up, to confirm this adapter works perfect with my external drives, and as an added plus, also my external DAP/amps for audio playback.

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Amd4life:
The latest Neutron and USB Audio Player Pro will output bitperfect (non upsampled) audio perfectly to both my portable DAC/amp units.

USB Audio Player pro, has the benefit that you can stream tidal native, bitperfect if you have an acct. Which is awesome imo. Tidal still buffers SUPER slow on this device though. So I'd recommended only offline use (which you CANT do with USB audio player pro due to licensing)

I would also add that I get some scratchiness out of the stock USB C to 3.5mm dongle that came with the phone. I thought it was the port being "dirty",. but I have NO NOISE out of the USB audio output using the Anker otg cable. Maybe Anker makes a USB c to 3.5mm adapter.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] PittAussie:
One tip for getting USB powered OTG drives to work is to use as short a USB cable as possible. Like get a good quality 1ft USB cable. I used to have a similar problem with using an external drive on a Wii and found that a 1ft cable would allow me to use 2 different drives that otherwise would not work with a 6ft cable.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] israelnobrega:
It worked!

I used a USB 2.0/type C adapter that cames with s8 and instead the original USB 3.0 cable, put another adapter, and transferred files with Total Commander.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] kwooddroid:
On this subject but kinda off topic. How are you all getting your drives mounted? I cannot mount NTFS or fat32 drives. Only ext3/4 drives.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] PittAussie:
Yep, basically you created a 2 inch cable. LOL.

In essence, many USB powered hard drives approach the power limit of what the USB port can output. Power drops over the length of a USB cable, so longer cables may not provide sufficient power for the drive to function correctly. Better quality cables usually have less power drop, though it is not a guarantee.

Unfortunately most USB powered drives do not list their power requirements. The only way to really tell is to open the case for the USB drive and look at the hard drive inside it to find how many amps it draws. For the best compatibility you want the lowest amps.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] bobyang:
I don't think that's otg power issue. I think it is locked by Moto becuase they want you to use their add-on devices. I have a wifi camera it doesn't work either, But it works in my all other phones
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] kingstu:
Just because an add-on device works for one USB OTG implementation doesn't mean that it works on all USB OTG implementations. There is an enumeration of what devices and types are accepted. I have tested USB OTG audio microphones, USB OTG audio speakers, USB OTG Headphones, USB OTG Ethernet, USB OTG Keyboards, USB OTG Flash drives and those device types work. If there is no device driver for the device attached then it would need to be supplied by an app. OTG power drain is definitely an issue and is mentioned in the OTG specifications.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] bobyang:
That's what I tried to say. It is locked by Moto. They want you to use their add-on mod. I have tried extrenal usb c endoscope camera, wifi endoscope camera, lg wireleas projector, Samsung projector. None of them work with Moto. However, the same apps work in all other phones. It is clear to see, it is not all otg related all the time or driver which provided by app. It could be just locked by Moto, becuase they want use to use their mod add-on. People who rooted the phone was able to turn on those supports.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] teradark:
I use a Belkin OTG adapter, it worked but it was extremely picky. The Built in files app only picked up my HDD if it was either Fat32 or exfat. But the ES File Explorer app only picked up NTFS.

2- just allow modification and use the otg if mounting sd or external sd card failed.

3-flash the supersu nougat zipped file

all done you are now rooted

[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMatt:
You have XT1250, you flashed XT1225 radio. Don't do that. It's a different FCC ID with different radio bands.

"Soak 4" radio is Brazilian XT1225 Marshmallow soak test.

On your XT1250, you can flash radio for XT1250 or XT1254 (same FCC ID, same bands), but not for XT1225 variants.

MORE INFO:

The XT1225 and XT1254/XT1250 all share LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 7.

The XT1225 additionally has LTE band 5 and 17 (more bands used by AT&T, which is why I bought it because I use AT&T).

FCC ID IHDT56PK2

The XT1254/XT1250 instead has LTE band 13 (Verizon LTE band), plus CDMA bands. While it does have some HSPA bands, there's not as many as in the XT1225.

Solved by fastboot flashing appropriate radio.img for xt1250.

No simcard error/boot issues can also be caused by improperly wiping phone contents via TWRP. Internal Storage must also be wiped.

But there is a problem in this rom i.e notification bug. You will not get whatsapp or Facebook notifications regularly especially when you clear recent apps. You will receive all whatsapp messages when you open it manually, to receive notifications properly you need to lock whatsapp from clearing apps.
