Hi guys, I have a little bit of a problem and I was wondering if anybody can help me... I had CM 10.1.3 installed on my S4 I9505 intl and after installing Adam kernel the phone didn´t boot up anymore, so I went to Recovery and I did a wipe data/ factory reset, wipe cache and also format system and format /data and /data/media (/sdcard) hoping to install the official rom via Odin using the DL mode. After reboot, I got the message Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. First, I tried to install the official rom by booting up the phone in DL mode but it didn´t work, the update stops right at the beginning of the provess, then I tried to recover via Kies but Kies doesn´t recognize the phone neither. So I installed CWM again via Odin ( successfully ) and flashed CM again. Can anyone help me figure out what´s wrong and what needs to be done in order to be able to flash the stock rom ? Thanks !!

Yes I thought of that but I can´t find a .zip variant, do you by any chance have a link for that ?
Why would you flash a kernel for Samsung roms when you are on a CM rom? That will not work.
So from what I understand, Odin works but you can't flash a stock rom? What stock rom did you want to flash? I hope that you didn't try to flash a Knox enabled stock rom. Did you try other stock roms?

I am trying to flash I9505VJUBMG3_I9505ZTOBMG3_I9505VJUBMG3 and yes Odin works I just can´t flash the stock ROM. I installed this rom many times before and I also tried an older version as well and still no luck.

Hey Guys anyone on Vodafone NZ here with a custom rom with working LTE? or still have the LTE option? if so please share your steps since all the roms with multiple csc dont have ours.
thanks
Even though noone replied for future reference here is how I did it.
Stock rom.
Use odin to flash phils recovery
Boot into recovery and in mounts and storage format data system caches and preload
Flash the prerooted version of the the rom you want if avaliable or just use the stock version.
Give your phone a start up to check everything works fine if not reflash in odin
If everythings ok boot into download mode and flash phills recovery or twrp
Boot into recovery and flash the custom rom no wipe and enjoy everything working as it should.
Hope this helps
Swyped on my SGS3
Hi I hope you can help me with this,
I was on a custom 4.3 rom running on old bootloader. I then
updated to 4.4.2 rom but my camera is not working only a black screen and giving
me a warning message " Camera failed" and once that happens
the whole system lags. I've read around that it could be a hardware
problem but when I switched back to the 4.3 rom the camera is working
smoothly again. I have tried 3 different 4.4.2 custom roms but same issue persists.
My question is could this have anything to do with my bootloader? I am planning
on flashing a stock 4.4.2 firmware with the new bootloader to see if that helps but what
worries me is if this doesn't help then I have no way anymore to go back to
a 4.3 firmware where my camera still works. Can you help me point to a solution
to this problem? Or which stock firmware I should flash to test if my camera
will work on that firmware.
Did you fully wipe before flashing?

Yes full wiped in Aroma, Formatted Int/ext card from Philz recovery, restored factory
from rom didn't help either.
What custom rom did you flash? Do you use the correct modem for the old bootloader?

I have tried Phoenix ROM, GoldenEYE , ECHO ROM, I am not sure if
I am using the right modem though I just flashed the file suggested on this page.
I'm on the Phoenix rom and it's running stable for me. I am also running on the old bootloader.
I had troubles at first after upgrading to 4.4.2, but after I wiped /system in recovery, everything worked.
You could try it. Make sure to backup /efs to your external sd or pc. Backup your entire internal sdcard, because it will be wiped. I didn't know that, so I lost everything on my sd
Perform a full wipe. Then wipe /system from the recovery (i used clockwork recovery). After that just flash and don't install any tweaks in aroma.
Hello everyone,
yes i tried the search, but i really could not find anything matching my problem
I want so gift my S4 to a friend for christmas and wanna do a full wipe + new custom rom (currently sitting on Ressurection Remix Remix 5.5.5)
When i try to enter TWRP i get stuck at the teamwin screen
I've tried the following:
- flash older TWRP again via Odin
- install newest TWRP again via TWRP Manager App
- flashing Stock Recovery (could not even get into anything, bootloop)
Any suggetions how to solve this problem?
Sorry for any grammar/vocabulary mistakes. English is not my first language
Try flashing stock rom. That also includes the stock recovery. Then reflash twrp.

Unless you want to stay on the stock rom, or want to backup some apps, then no. Rooting will not be necessary if you plan on changing to a custom rom again.
rooted my s4 again,
twrp is finally working
but i cant flash the rom
Error executing updater binary in zip
anyone has an idea?
i allready downloaded the rom again but the zip is not broken
Are you using the latest version of twrp?
Yes 2.8.7.0

That error is caused because the recovery thinks the rom is not compatible with your phone.
Make sure your phone is compatible with the rom.
Or try these steps I found online:
1. Advance Wipe > Wipe cache, data, system, dalvik partitions.
2. Select ZIP file of your ROM and flash it.
3. You will get E:Error executing updater binary in zip (Don’t panic!)
4. Go to Reboot menu > Select Reboot to recovery.
5. After rebooting in recovery, flash the ZIP file of the ROM again WITHOUT WIPING.
Then it should work, according to the site I found it on.
The execution error indicates that the phone may not be supported by the ROM you're trying to flash..
Hi guys,
I'm getting bootloop when I try to flash Stock Rom, I tried 2 roms for my country from samfirmware, tried robot rom from here (im n910c), tried miui v8 beta version also, cant flash 4file repair firmware since there are only available for 4.4 / 5.0, and I'm at 6.0.1
also repartition didnt help
all of these roms get me bootlooped, I can only flash CM rom and its fully functional
what to do?
After flashing your official stock rom via odin, go to Recovery and wipe cache and data/factory reset.

I still need help guys
I have a i9000 and i would like to install twrp so i can install a 7.0 rom but i dont know how to install twrp can someone tell me how?
I would also like to know this as well. I've tried CWM through odn but it's a zip so wont flash. I've tried it in stock recovery but obviously get the signature fail msg.
TWRP comes with the kernel and hence the ROM.
It gets automatically installed if you're on older BML/MTD device..
In which case you should have rebooted after acceptign wipe..
Ahh right, so I flash a new kernel to it and that comes with the recovery built in.
Do I flash the kernel from odin or stock recovery. Got the stuff to unbrick the phone if that happens, just wanted to know the right way before flashing stock rom back and starting again.

The kernel is flashed by the ROM zip... I dont remember if it automatically reboots to recovery or not..
However it does create a file in cache that makes it boot to recovery.. Since the /system is not yet installed.
You should flash the ROM after it boots to new recovery.. then install the zip file again..
All this is described in https://github.com/xc-racer99/android_device_samsung_aries-common/blob/aosp-7.1/updater.sh
I got there in the end.
I flashed CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS.tar with odin, then installed cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip which also updated my older CWM. It had a spam, so I wiped/factory/dalvik etc from the updated CWM and then reinstalled cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip - now running the rom just fine.
Will be trying out some more over next few days now I have a nandroid of CM10.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
