It's still there, I just checked and downloaded it

https://www.essential.com/developer/current-builds

On that page, click on "Windows Drivers for Essential phone", that's exe file

- Run it and you'll have "platform-tools" folder in your C:\ drive

- Download the Jan stock rom and upzip it

- In "platform-tools" folder, copy 4 files: adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll, fastboot.exe to your unzip stock folder

- Go to stock unzip folder from command prompt and use adb to boot to bootloader

- Once you're in bootloader, from command prompt, run "flashall", and you'll be back to Jan stock

- Flash TWRP is another story....let me know if you still need help with it.

So I've been trying for hours....I've deleted things out of confusion and maybe frustration lol and now I can't even get the essential driver to install it's always rolling back
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DAE1964:
ADB is probably already installed and running in the background.

Open the task manager in windows and look for ADB.exe
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mlock420:
Yes I do have adb running...I've tried all the commands and finally I was able to find out what slot Im on which is a....but then I try to fastboot flash boot_slot b twrp-mata.img

End result says can't recognize "b" lol the letter b...so then I tried this command fastboot flash boot_slot twrp-mata.img...and all that does is say waiting on device....
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chanh2018:
To flash TWRP, the fastboot version from Essential never works for me, so I use ver 1.4.3 from xda

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

Use this version to flash TWRP image with command: fastboot -i 0x2e17 flash boot TWRPxxx.img
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] lynnux:
Try "fastboot flash boot_b twrp-mata.img"

Where did you get the idea to use 'slot' in the command? Or did you not really use it, just using it here to explain what you're trying to do?

Nevermind...I'm guessing I fd this phone all up..I don't even have a stock recovery....and fastboot just will not flash anything....I have a 2nd phone thankfully which is way easier to root twrp and rom...

This essential such a nice looking phone but my flashing ways causes me to be impatient....I've searched on Google just so I can avoid annoying you guys one...

I tried to install TWRP. Current boot slot was b (Android 10 Feb 2020 patch) so then I switched to slot a. Proceeded to execute the command fastboot flash boot twrp-3.2.3-0-mata.img then fastboot reboot. But now phone is stuck in TWRP, unable to get fastboot devices. When I shut down, it goes back to TWRP and stays there. Is this phone "kind of" bricked?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chanh2018:
No, the phone is still ok.

TWRP doesn't work with Android 10 Feb 2020, you need to be in Jan 2020 stock rom in order to use TWRP

Just flash back Jan stock rom, redo everything, and you'll be ok.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chanh2018:
For back to stock, you need to use fastboot package from Essential

Make sure after install Essential driver and fastboot package, you set up the path correctly or just copy 4 files to your unzip stock rom and use adb + fastboot from there

Here's the 4 files needed: adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll, fastboot.exe

https://www.essential.com/developer/current-builds

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

For back to stock, use fastboot package from Essential

For TWRP, use ver 1.4.3 from xda, here's the link

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

....after back to Jan stock, when flash TWRP image, don't switch slot

you will not have touch after it, so you need OTG dongle + mouse to continue flashing custom ROM (first) and TWRP installer (second)
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Benoitgaudreault:
ok merci

i got dongle

i will try 1.4.3 now
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] irekj:
Thank you stranger. Flashed back to latest stock. Now, not sure I will attempt this. I really only want root and magisk so need to research more.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chanh2018:
There's a way to root without TWRP if you're in Feb (latest) stock rom

Install Magisk manager, use it to create the patched boot image, and then use fastboot to flash that patched boot image to replace the original one.

To be honest, I didn't do or try it, but someone got it working. You can find more research and try if you like to root.

Good luck.

(btw, I still like stock rom, it's very stable. The only reason I have to use custom rom is security update)
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] irekj:
I see, thank you for the info, and I will keep it handy. It seems the only thing that was easy was bootloader unlock, easiest I encountered. I am coming from Moto, the Z Play was easy, X4 was a bit more tricky, this one seems rather messy - maybe due to the Feb update? Android 10 and Feb update is not that bad, as I only use it for texting/reddit/email, not much else, maybe a photo and YT video, tracking my expenses so should be good. But yes, stock ROM is so nice, incredible standby battery life - like it does not move on mine (I have most Google stuff disabled, only Play Store and all permissions disabled). I love this phone, best ever I used by a big margin, love it.

HI

i use ADB platforme tool and it's OK for me , but 1.4.3 i dont how to use it

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chanh2018:
Just extract those files to a folder in local drive and use it from command prompt.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Benoitgaudreault:
ok

I extract those files and i use '' adb devices '' and it show my devices , then i use ''adb reboot bootloader '' and i go to fastboot mode but fastboot don't show my devices when i type ''fastboot devices '' . So i tried ''fastboot flash boot_a twrp.img '' and it say ''waiting for devices.

before all those manipulation i install brand new ''jan 2020'' stock rom with ''flashAll''

i am lost....dont work with adb 1.4.3

dont work with adb 30.xxxx

thanks for help......sorry for my english
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chanh2018:
For ver 1.4.3, add -i 0x2e17 with fastboot

For example:

fastboot devices -i 0x2e17

fastboot -i 0x2e17 flash boot twrp.img

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CroGamer1:
Hi guys!

My dad has been using the above mentioned device for the past 5.5 years. The device is running a stock rooted 4.2.2 MDJ build. His bank is about to stop the support for the 4.2.2 version so we need to update the OS. The minimum required OS is now KitKat but I would like a more moderate ROM. Is it possible to have for e.g. an Oreo based ROM without Knox? In other words, do some ROMs include a Knox bootloader (to enable them to run)?

Thanks for the help! :D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Only Samsung ROMs would contain Knox.

The apps should be fine with a stock 5.01 ROM if you want to stick with stock.

If you want to run a custom Oreo ROM, I suggest flashing the latest bootloader and modem before installing Oreo.

The sgh-i337m forum is here: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CroGamer1:
Thanks for the reply!

As I said I would like to evade to flash the Knox bootloader. I know Samsung made it impossible to use their OS without Knox so I'm guessing my only option is to use custom ROMs. Are there any ROMs that still utilise the old bootloader?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
You can't flash any bootloader other than stock.

Knox will not interfere with flashing custom ROMs.

Some banking apps will not work with a rooted ROM so you may have to use another app to hide root.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CroGamer1:
Root is in place just to disable OTA and by the looks of it the banking app doesn't care.

Regarding Knox, I actually think of it as a security downgrade because the NSA played a part in its development and they are known to spy on people. I feel safer when it's not installed LMAO

Is the phone an sgh-i337m or sgh-i337?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Okay, just wanted to make sure it wasn't the att model because the 4.3 or newer bootloader is locked on the non-m version.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CroGamer1:
Anybody have any suggestions for a ROM? It doesn't necessarily need to be the latest version of Android. It just needs to be compatible with the old bootloader :p
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AoEKiller:
If you're still on MDJ stay on MDJ, don't update your bootloader, only the modem. 4.3 don't have KNOX, just don't update from OTA.

Hi there,

well first you need to type in adb reboot fastboot

then fastboot oem get_unlock_data

after that the command will give you a string of numbers and then you have to copy and paste those numbers on to the mobile companys bootloader unlock service website.

However since it's an Indian smartphone I am sure that the company will not provide such services as they restricted this service to everyone.....

However you can try and use KINGO ROOT to root your smartphone.

I am not sure if it will work but you can try it

I already enabled "Ignore battery optimizations" for Spotify app (strange thing, Spotify does not show in the "Allowed" list, even if setting is on Allowed)...

From there, you may already have Bluetooth enabled and Wi-Fi will work properly.

However, if you also activate GPS (wf + bt + gps), the Wi-Fi will be very slow again, until you deactivate the GPS again.

Do this precisely, step by step, and then test:

4- Search for Google Play services and open;

5- Go to Permissions;

6- Open Your Location;

7- Location Settings;

9- Connects the wifi and bluetooth, pairs with the Bluetooth speaker and does the test of Spotify by wifi, with the screen off;

It should now work without jumps.
