GPe is stuck on Unlocking SIM Card... on first boot! Any suggestion?

Install tip: If anyone is using CWM to install and get Cannot find Beta2.zip when trying to apply Beta2 just reboot the recovery and try again.

EDIT: Nevermind i restarted the phone and SIM Lock got through :)

This happens to me every time I switch from TouchWiz to GPe ROM (second restart gets me in)

My GPe issues:

1. Home button doesn't work! It doesn't seem to work except double click which gets you to multitasker :(

2. Unable to open Quick settings, the icon is there but nothing happens when i press it, neither using two fingers!?

3. No lock screen, even thou in security settings it is set to Slide

Same here...

Tried to install, just kept rebooting back to recovery, tried to restore backup, kept sticking at Galaxy S4 boot screen, tried to ODIN the factory firmware, still sticks at Galaxy S4 boot screen, now it won't do anything but download mode.

Don't know what to do

Choose Reboot recovery then try again, i had the same problem and that fixed it.

I have finally got it to work on my AT&T S4. all I did was Install the first zip, then rebooted recovery, flashed the second zip, the supersu zip, then a LOKIed Kernel and then booted and set up my account(though dropbox won't give me my 48gb :/) then I did the SWITCH and it loaded to the samsun custom screen, crashed then I flashed the loki file and then it booted again and finally loaded into the GPe. Now my question to everyone who has it working, whenever you SWITCH does it boot down to the samsung custom screen then flash black and load the custom screen again then into the other rom?

Hi,

Thanks for making this available. One question, what does 'device status' show after installing this? I need device status to be Official for my Corporate Email.

And just a lil tip, if ya wanna silo an app to touch wiz alone, move it to sd storage in app manager in tw and it'll dissapear from gpe.

(Account syncs seems to be glitchy on switch. See gallery, Dropbox sync)

Please see my post a few up.

I had this problem. You are in factory mode.

See this and commit the terminal code

He means, using ODIN, use the "phone" button as opposed to the "pda" button.

Simply flash the wifi fix as Phone not PDA when choosing the button in ODIN.

I couldnt install Modaco Switch Part 2 for the S4 (using Philz Touch) It said bad zip. i tried to download again, still bad zip

Yes this happens when your efs bin is corrupted. See my earlier post and commit the terminal codes in PT and your schweet.

And NEVER click flash stock recovery.

EVER!

To be fair the only thing to do at a time like this is either wait for the next OTA or take it back to stock and start the whole procedure again.

It's up to you but I can assure you Paul is onto it.

So there is no way I can get Wifi to work on my T-Mobile S4 right now?

Hi Paul,

i have a I9505XXUBMF8

can i still use the I9505XXUBMGA / I9505OXXBMG3 / I9505XXUBMGA ROM for Odin?

So if i got this right

1. I root the phone

2. install custom recovery via odin (twrp)

3. Flash the 2 zip files

(+all the usual wipes and backups) ?

The same happens to me when I switch but it does not cause any problems I can see.

yes you can flash another Samsung rom using odin

you dont need to root if you dont want to....

i left a custom rom installed and it worked but no guarantee Pauls recommendation .is I9505XXUBMGA / I9505OXXBMG3 / I9505XXUBMGA

you need a custom recovery Paul reccomends TWRP

then hopefully it works ok for you

Just a quick question, If I want to remove switch , can I just data wipe and install a custom Rom or would I have to Odin a stock TW then a custom?
