[Q] Carbon Rom on I337M help - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I have an S4 I337m on Rogers. I would like to try Carbon rom and have flashed it a few times but my phone never boots afterwards. Any one have any suggestions?

Have you done the proper wipes? Have you tried to re-download the rom?

Stock att kernal, updating camera firmware

I've been searching for the stock kernal for at&t users for s bit now, can't find it I'm trying to fix the annoying "updating camera firmware,please wait..." message. Unless there's a better way, I'll just assume you have to flash the sock kernal to update it. But if you flash the sock Kernal, wouldn't the phone fail on boot?

No, I'm running Wanamlite v1.0.
I just reinstalled the stock AT&T rom to allow the camera to update, but when I ran the camera, no update appeared. So I figured it was all set. After re-rooting, I re-installed Wanamlite and KT kernal, open up the camera, and sure enough the message re-appears. I didn't perform any wipes. But it looks like I'll have to because all the AT&T bloatware was re-installed again.

Your mistake was reinstalling Wanamlite again. Here's how you install non AT&T ROMs
1. Root your phone. I used the one click TWRP and Loki method.
2. Factory Reset and install custom ROM.
3. Install AT&T kernel. Let it boot up. Open Camera.
4. Reboot to recovery. Install custom kernel. Wipe cache and Dalvik. Fix Permissions.
5. Reboot. All done.

Thanks, you're right about my mistake lol I ended up just installing someone else's ROM and it works perfectly. I'm a bit lost reading your instructions, It was my understanding that custom ROM's would not load with stock kernel?

You need a carrier kernel for your custom ROM.

Exactly, its nice he can recommend installing a stock kernel, but they are not to be found. I asked in another thread and didn't get an answer. I somehow got it to work just wiping and installing Omega 5.0 Then to get wifi to work I installed ktoonez kernel.

okay, assuming you're using the AT&T variant, I did this:
I got the looping "installing camera firmware" and tried faux an ktoonsez with no luck
I flashed this tmobile stock kernel and the camera firmware updated successfully by going into the camera app.
I then just flashed faux kernel back and everything worked great.

I use shabbypenguin's auto loki CWM recovery, but you'll have to definitely flash the loki patch after the tmo kernel to make this work.

[Q] I keep getting a recovery error for my i9505G. Please help

I've been trying many things to no avail. I am able to get recovery on my i9505G (which I have read is built into the CWM version now for the i9505) and it seems to work fine. I have the 01/08 nightly CM11 on the phone, but whenever I reboot and select "recovery" it gives me this error. Sometimes if I hit the restart the device, it will boot into recovery correctly. I've even started fresh by wiping the entire phone and the multiple partitions (from having started on 4.2) and flashed a fresh 4.4.2 stock (rooted) tar through odin. From there I flashed the recovery, installed CM as I always have, but it is still happening.
What am I doing wrong?
The photo u attached is STOCK RECOVERY. If u want install CUSTOM RECOVERY for install CUSTOM ROMS: HERE
* EDIT: Dont flash custom recovery/Roms/Kernels/Basebands of i9505 for ur i9505G. Its completely different

That is the weird thing, it does have the custom CWM recovery on it, but this happens when I click to reboot into recovery in CM11. I've tried reinstalling CWM numerous times, but I still get this same situation after the first time.

I've read on many of the threads here that the i9505G build-specifics were incorporated into "jfltexx" builds.

What I meant was the i9505G specifics were builts in the CWM and Cyanogenmod builds of the jfltexx.

Well here is what I am trying to do. Root isn't a problem, but getting recovery on it is. I've been using the jltflexx builds of CWM and Cyanogen because I read that it was built into it. They both install with no problem and I can get up and running. The problem I run into is getting back into custom recovery and I get that picture error above when I try. I don't know if the custom recovery is getting overwritten by something or what, but it does get installed otherwise I wouldn't be able to get CM11 on it in the first place.

That is what I don't get. How could I have flashed the custom CWM recovery, used it to install CM, but then have stock recovery and can't get back into the custom one all the time? It is really bizarre.

[Q] Help? Galaxy S4 i337 can't boot TWRPs or CWM

Hey!
I recently rooted my GS4 i337. Everything is all working as of now. However, I want to flash an AOSP ROM onto it. So, I followed instructions and at first, I flashed TWRP to my phone. It said it was successful, but when I go to recovery it puts me in ODIN. I then uninstalled TWRP and got the latest version that is said to support i337 GS4. Flashed successfully, but when I boot it still goes ODIN.
I tried both manually recovery booting with the buttons, and the UI on the actual app. Boots ODIN both ways.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? How can I boot into TWRP or CWM so I can make a quick ROM backup and flash an AOSP ROM?
Cheers! And if this is the wrong section, can a moderator please move it? I'm new to this forum.
Thanks. :laugh:

Unless your on mdl firmware you can't flash twrp or cwm. I'm guessing you're not.

Don't think so, my baseband is UCUEMK2 on 4.3. So, there's no way to get any custom ROMs on this? What can I do so I can?

I found this a video on how to use Safestrap on 4.3.
It's for the Verizon variant but the SE Linux matches, can I give Safestrap a shot?
EDIT: Scratch that, I've found an ATT compatible version (3.71) and it booted into it perfectly! Now I can backup my stock ROM real quick and flash on my new one! Thanks!!

[Q] GS4 Custom Rom Question

Hey I just have a quick question here. Is there a way to get wifi to work on a custom rom on the ATT GS4 (MK2) because not matter what rom I flash on it the wifi always breaks but when I go back to stock it works just fine. I even tried flashing the modem file but to no avail. If I can't I can understand I was just wanting to know if there's a workaround to this. Thanks to anyone who helps .
You need to flash the MK2 modules. Do some more reading. The modules are in the Safestrap thread.

Well when I first tried to install a custom rom I used this website to flash the modules and that was when I realized my wifi wasn't working on it. I'll just read up some more I suppose. Thanks for the response .

Can you ODIN back to NAE stock and see if that fixes it? Then try your ROM of choice after going back to complete stock?
