Installing custom rom PhoeniX - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have a galaxy s4 gt-i9505 and I would like to install the v8 custom rom from PhoeniX:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349584
and my question is:
When in the instructions it says in step 4, "4. Open the file you have downloaded as PHONE in odin"
What PHONE file is this?
Is this the "1. Download this modem :
https://my.pcloud.com/#page=publink&...Ac8hGVzYJO5i2X"?
Thank you

You only need that file if you don't have WiFi/3G/Signal Lost when screen is off. That only happens when you are on the old bootloader.
And yes, he means that file you quote.

You've unzipped 1 too many times.
You need the .Tar file.
Flash this in PDA section of Odin and you're good to go!
I would recommend formatting cache, data, system and preload in CWM first.

Good idea is to KEEP a copy of the stock rom for these little incidents... It is easier, and sometimes the only way, to flash the stock rom after a bad flash...
If you have the I9505 I would suggest buying Mobile ODIN... It makes flashing ALL roms so much easier... You do need to root the phone 1st though with PC ODIN. After that you can flash the tar files through it or the custom rom zip files... Mods can be flashed easily too.
since no one has suggested a nandroid backup, i am going ahead and doing that.
i have found it to be the most helpful when things go wrong

Alright, I made a mistake. What do...

I have an S4 with TWRP 2.6 + CyanogenMod 10.1.3, and CF Autoroot.
I wanted to start over again, so I went into TWRP and rest everything.
Now it won't boot.
I can get into download and recovery (TWRP is somehow still present)
The pieces are here. What I'd like to do is somehow nuke all aftermarket mods, and start over.
So, how do I get it to boot up?
Go back into twrp and flash the rom again.

The ROM isn't present. All data was nuked.
So apperently recovery is gone, and now I can get into stock recovery.. but it has a red tri-angle. WHat do?
This will get you back to stock.

Head over to that thread and find the stock ROM. Your going to have to ODIN back to stock.
So long as I can get into recovery or download, my device isn't screwed, right?

That seems to be the general concensus.
When you can't get to download and recovery, then you're screwed.
Odexed is the way the phone comes out of the box.
Deodexed allows you to add themes and other mods, I think.
Not super sure on that.

Alright. I have the Odexed one. it's a .tar.rar. I simply go into download mode, throw the file into PDA on ODIN, and flash?

Extract the .tar file from the .rar
Do not extract anything from the .tar
Flash the .tar in PDA mode.
Be patient after reboot.
Can take quite a while for the system to rebuild.

So what is the filename you load into Odin? The whole firmware or just a modem?
Try to load only the "modem.bin" file

No no, I didnt mean to rename that big file to modem.bin.
The file you are using is a whole firmware. Try to rename it to *.TAR, then open with with WinRAR. You will see a modem.bin file inside. Extract this file (its size is only about 50MB) and flash only this file.
You guys sure you want to flash a 900W modem onto a N9005 phone?

Hi Repulsa, thank you for replying!
What do you mean when you say "by selecting phone"? Is the process of flashing this file different when compared w/ the method we already know to flash stock ROM?
I mean, I used to flash files by opening Odin 3.09, sellecting AP and choosing the .tar file... How does it work for the file you provided?

In odin there should be Phone/CP select that and find the file you downloaded and flash away. Im not really sure how to explain hehe sorry so feel free to search for it.. But if the problem did not fix, you should download a stock firmware base from your country.

Yes, it didn't fix, but I don't know whether I've done it correctly or not. The file that comes in the download is named as I9505XXUEMK8-WiFi-FIX.tar. I know that .tar files are flashable through Odin, so I don't need to modify this file by extracting or any other process, right? I just need to select the file exactly as it comes selecting CP in Odin, isn't it?

Turn of your phone manually and wait a few atleast 10 sec then press and hold Power+Volumedown in order to reach Download mode , Open odin Select CP (Find the .tar) put both cables (Wait until you see the blue sign in odin) and press start. Like i said if the problem still persist you should flash the stock rom that base from your country and you can find it from here

Need A little Help Please

ok so my kid was using my rooted (TWRP) TM350N and
had some problems playing a game. one of his friends
suggested a factory reset which he did and now all it
does it boot the the TWRP menu.
i downloaded and installed (using TWRP) the
JazzROM-SM-T350_7.1.1_v2.01.zip and it seemed
to install with no errors however it will still only
boot to the TWRP menu and i'm lost
any ideas ?
additionally holding down power-volume up-home or power-volume down-home
does nothing, it still boots to the TWRP menu every time.
hopefully it's not ruined

With the latest Odin, you need to extract the files from the zip and flash each of them. I'd try first with just the AP and BL files.
