Guys, I need some help with my Galaxy S4 - 9505.
I'm running Omera rom with TWRP recovery.
I had one random restart and decided to wipe cache and dalvik. But I can't. , recovery report that cache could not be mounted.
I changed recovery with PhilZ but its the same. Also the partition size is shown 0MB.
This is the second time i got this issue.
Could anyone of you help me to understand why this happen?

First you should do a nandroid backup.
Your best bet is to do a system reset (under settings in the phone) and then download the stock odin
flash pre-rooted i9505 rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409867
Odin flash it and then check out the phone make sure all is well.
After that get the Odin flashable Philz, CWM or TWRP recovery and flash it, (or simply use goomanager to get twrp)
then get the latest update of SuperSU and flash that in recovery. (both goomanager & superSU are free apps at the playstore)
Then after checking everything out making sure everything is working properly make another nandroid backup.
After that flash any of the i9505 compatible custom rom you like.
@Misterjunky, thanks for the reply.
I actually have done this first time i got this issue, so did same and now.
More or less I try to understand why cache got corrupted? And could this be some kind of hardware issue with the internal memory.

Probably tried to flash a KK rom if you where running JB before.
Or the other way around, trying to flash a JB rom on a KK device.

Hello,
actually I'm using a SGS4 I9505 with cm-12-20150304-NIGHTLY-jfltexx and CWM 6.0.5.1.
I've tried to flash several TW Lollipop firmware wich i found in the I9505 forum:
1. Kushan+Touchwiz+Lollipop+Lite+Rom+v.1.2
2. S4_Echoev42_EchoePop2_020315
3. OA7-2.1F
4. XXUHA07-v2.01
Before flashing any oft this firmwares i made a factory reset, wiped both caches and installed the modem Firmware via Odin.
After flashing firmware # 1 and 2 my phone was stuc in a bootloop (only Samsung Galaxy S4 Logo appears).
Flashing firmware #3 and 4 fails and cwm reports error 7.
Flashing cm12 afterwards isn't a problem and runs fine.
I think the wipe fails or doesn't work properly. Is it enougth to select factory reset in cwm and wipe the dalvik cache manualy?
What can I do?
With besteht regard
Mirko (NemesisMF)
What if it is a recovery problem?
Thought about that too.
Should i try twrp or philz?
I switched to Philz Recovery and flashed S4 Echoe Rom v42 without any Problems.
CWM seems to have a problem to falsh TW Lollipop images ower an existing CM12 an the I9505.
You need to do full wipe not just cache.

As I wrote above I did a factory reset before flashing and wiped the caches with cwm. If that is not enougth it would be nice to explain what else I have to wipe or post a link.
While using philz recovery the factory reset for clean system is enougth and the new System is working fine.
Factory wipe is not full wipe, you need to do a full wipe as in format to install new rom, phillz recovery has this feature can't remember exactly where, I think its under advanced.
Just have a look in the sub menus.
Just to explain it better when you do a full wipe it deletes every part of the existing
Rom including the system, data and cache and some other stuff completely removing the android operating system, so unless the rom you install does a wipe before install parts of the existing system will remain and can cause boot issues. For example as you've already discovered you are trying to install a tw rom over an existing cyanogenmod 12 installation which Will cause it to hang on boot.

Do you mean a factory reset from within Android itself? If so, then that's a complete obsolete step. When before flashing a rom you should perform a factory reset, then they always mean a full wipe from the recovery. You need to do a full wipe from the recovery. That means the /system partition is being wiped. You will see it in the screen during the wipe if it wipes /system.
But it also could have been a problem of CWM. I don't think it is being updated anymore, so better use TWRP or Philz.
Hi Guys,
I think I pressed advanced wipe on TWRP and it deleted my operating system.
How can I get my phone back to stock Lollipop if possible ?
Thank you
Flash stock rom via Odin or restore your Nandroid backup via TWRP .

TWRP is still there, so you can install a custom ROM from in there (if you don't have a full backup (nandroid) to use) The Advanced Wipe comes up with all options unticked - which ones did you tick? All of them? If it was only system your data is still on the Internal SD and Data sections so you may want to do a backup of at least Data to your extSDCard from TWRP before anything else.

2. OTA update Lollipop will be?

Thank you so much for the backups.
I had been using Kitkat but wanted to go back to Jellybean. I did everything according to your mentioned steps and everything went on perfectly except that in Jellybean I'm getting no sound. I don't know much about it but it seemed as if audio decoders were missing. Can you please suggest anything? Or if possible please upload a backup which is free from such conflict.
Thank you
