Hi all,
I am running Cyanogenmod 11 4.4.4 on my Galaxy S4 which I installed using the Cyanogenmod installer a month or so ago.
I was running 4.4.3 I think until yesterday I got a notice saying an update is available. This new update is horrible, the camera doesn't work t all now aand music skips too.
But I am not completely sure that it's a software fault as I dropped my phone today morning and I think that may have been the cause. So to make sure it's a software problem I want to revert back to the 4.4.3.
Any way about this?
Thanks

Unfortunately no nandroid backup seen as I thought the update will be all good since it's from Cyanogenmod Installer/Updater

Would I be able to just flash 4.4.2 back on and do a full wipe?

Hi,
When you say 4.4.2 do you mean CM or Stock? Either would be fine. Actually I think the update you installed was buggy nightly, maybe updating to the next nightly may fix it as well .

I mean 4.4.2 CM. Would a wipe be needed? I'm not that bothered if I do because I'll backup everything and do a nand backup too but rather not
And I think it was a nightly because I can't find a new snapshot build or anything on CM so must've been a bug on their part
Thanks for the reply

So I've got the MTP fail thing.
I'm going to try and backup apps via Titanium backup but would wiping data (just incase I need to when installing new ROM) wipe my images, user files such as whatsapp images, videos, downloads?
Thanks
Would wiping data delete my whatsapp convos, images, camera images, videos, images etc?
And titanium backup files?

You could try to do factory reset or to reflash 2.1 kdz file
My brother had same problem with bluetooth and i just pulled battery out of his phone and after that it worked :silly:
Factory reset erases every installed apps in the phone right?
that wouldn't be an option to me especially that it would just be a 'trial and error thing'
Guys please help!!

see if it works and restore your apps

guess not. if you're on stock 2.1 (rooted) there's no way to change the system except flashing kdz, which means: factory reset

Solved!!! I just reflashed my device with 2.1, hope that it will not occur again.. thanks for helping me guys.. but I still want to update it to 2.3,, hmmm its hard because I can't go to fastboot.
Just got the notification for the OTA 4.3 update for my n4. But while installing i got the error "apply_path_check (system/app/music2.apk/..).
Does anybody knows how to solve the problem ? Thx
Your N4 was not completely stock when you began the update. You have deleted music2.apk from your phone and that causes the update to fail.
You should put it back to place or restore your phone to stock by other means

Hi.
If you have a 100% stock nandroid backup, restore it.
If not, you can flash stock Google supplied 4.2.2 images via fastboot. (Backup everything including sdcard if you don't wanna lose your data)
Flashing nothing but system.img might work, not sure tho.
EDIT: Here's a good read on how to get back to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37925359

It's obviously a cache cleaning software you have installed that is incompatible or misconfigured.

No, I use stock rom, kernel, recovery, and not rooted where I get this from sammobile and flash via odin.
"Internet has stopped responding" do you want to wait or stop, that I get sometimes with 4.4.2.

Make shure bootloader updated. Sometimes you need to flash twice wit odin to make it work.

Hey,
I made a thread the other day about getting a good ROM because the others seem to die after 3 days. Does anyone have an idea of why this happens? I have tried 6 different ROMS in 4 days and they all the do the same thing; Apps won't open, phone constantly on boot logo, apps crash, phone freezes up, phone won't boot up.
The phone is around 4 weeks old with minimal wear.
I would appreciate all feedback.

I had CWM 6.0.4.7 flashed and I tried Gooh S5+N4 ROM, S5 stock by Jamal, XNote, Omega and N9005 Dev Base (RC tea I think) and a couple others. When flashing, I did all the normal step, wiping cache, wiping data, dalvik when told and leaving the phone for 10 minutes after it boots.
Do you want any information about the actual phone?
You have N9005 international? ???you have flashed stock KK one time???your bootloader and modem version....

1. Reflash the stock ROM.
2. Root with CF Auto Root.
3. Flash this custom recovery: TWRP (better than CWM).
4. You can remove the bloatware (HERE) and enjoy the stock ROM.

Sorry but I don't like the custom Roms. It's coz they are constantly updating and fixing things, no coz they are bad. Every device don't answer in same way with same ROM either. It's only my opinion . Last choice is always yours.

Touchy, are we?
1. I don´t think I´m the smartest person in the world and that´s why I used the words "most likely".
2. You got better explanation, why others have no problem with TWPR backups? Besides, backup just creates a couple of big files - this can´t render your phone unbootable by itself.
2a. There are guides that tell you how to restore a Lollipop TWRP backup so that you can enjoy Lollipop on unsupported devices. Obviously backup worked for those people as well, so it´s not just Lemagex in post #6 for whom it works ...
I flashed a zip through TRWP and its works. But I didn't try to do a nandroid backup yet.
This also happened to me. I'm using TWRP 2.8.x i have a thread in the q&a section. Some said the 2.7 is working with lollipop but haven't tested yet.
