Guest tushark Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 I know this was meant for the i9505, but is there any chance of getting it on the i9500? Regardless, really gladly to have backed the Indiegogo campaign :)
Guest GenShard Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 WOOF! ;) PWoof indeed. The drooling spittle is starting to mess up the leather sofa

Guest [email protected] Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 Any chance there will be a switch ROM for CDMA GS4?
Guest PaulOBrien Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 A CDMA version isn't planned, what IS planned however is making Switch available to all ROM devs. :) P

Guest mdingemanse Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 Why TWRP?? Im having huge problems with it. Its almost constantly stuck at boot. Cant get past the "Samsung galaxy s4" boot screen and when it does, then im stuck at the next screen: "samsung" Very annoying! Never had any problems with cwm 6.0.3.2

Guest mdingemanse Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 And now the startup screen teamwin (twrp) freezes........
Guest SamousaFR Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 I just happen to use TWRP! Is it really required to wipe data, or did you just happen to do it and so you recommend it ?
Guest mdingemanse Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 Again twrp freezes up! Totally unresponsive! Now i have a bricked phone :( Too bad both computers (win 7) at home fail to recognise all our android phones via usb so i have to get back to work tomorrow to get my phone fixed aaaaargh!
Guest Chahk Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 (Im)patiently waiting for CM compatibility. Question. Will this work on the GS4 GPe variant (jgedlte/I9505G)? The only difference between this and the GS4 International (jfltexx/I9505) is a slight partition change, and even that is taken care of on most recoveries (latest CWM for jfltexx is fully compatible with jgedlte, and there is a build of TWRP for it) and custom ROMs by switching to the "byname" mount syntax.
Guest George Grant Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 I have the M-919 T-Mobile variant but am running a I-9505 rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363523, should this be a problem or not? I've downloaded but am reluctant to flash at the moment.
Guest GenShard Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 Nearly downloaded. Backing up with TWRP now. Will keep you informed if anything goes awry
Guest Andy Angell Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 Back up done download still happening need a better download site for touchwiz rom
Guest mdingemanse Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 It appears that somehow removing the external sd card (64gb) made the twrp boot again. I flashed a zipfile (wanamlite) from the external sd card so maybe it wasnt installed correctly so it couldnt boot. Flashing now from internal sd card.....Ok worked! ....reboot.....failed!!......rebooting WITH external sd........so far past the first bootscreen, now at second bootscreen........nothing :( Ok so my official statement is...twrp SUCKS (imho). Not going to use it again, EVER. So people beware of using twrp, there are a lot of versions out there
Guest PaulOBrien Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 Is it really required to wipe data, or did you just happen to do it and so you recommend it ? Well, you can try without... but don't report any bugs until you've wiped! :) Again twrp freezes up! Totally unresponsive! Now i have a bricked phone :( Too bad both computers (win 7) at home fail to recognise all our android phones via usb so i have to get back to work tomorrow to get my phone fixed aaaaargh!

Guest toxicpaulution Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 Do we NEED both of the Odin packages? Or can we skip them? I am on a custom rom ATM so I know how to flash and stuff. Just really hate needing to Odin stuff lol
Guest PaulOBrien Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 Well, I don't know how you'll fare re: baseband etc. but sure, give it a go! :) P
Guest toxicpaulution Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 Okay well ill flash and try(if I have wifi and data issues ill update the bb) thanks again for this :)
Guest GenShard Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 WiFi doesn't work in touch wiz after a clean flash on twrp with no other probs. HELP
Guest Chahk Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Untested. Feel free to try. ;) Paul, I don't think it will work as is.

It won't work for I9505G since /data on it should be mounted at /dev/block/mmcblk0p28. I can try modifying the updater-script accordingly, but I wasn't sure if there are other implications. I know other ROMs (such as CyanogenMod 10.2 nightlies) and recoveries mitigate this by switching to the "by-name" syntax, e.g. mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system");[/code] Not sure why this can't also work here, seeing as you are doing it in the same script (line 104) Edited August 22, 2013 by Chahk
Guest PaulOBrien Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 WiFi doesn't work in touch wiz after a clean flash on twrp with no other probs.

I can update it for the next Beta, you should be fine making the change and flashing. P
Guest mdingemanse Posted August 22, 2013 Report Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) WiFi doesn't work in touch wiz after a clean flash on twrp with no other probs. HELP Had the same thing! Did a factory wipe without the external card and it booted with wifi, but later on the phone did not want to reboot :( Flashing the stock touchwiz rom (latest). Crossing my fingers.... If this works a will stay far away from twrp. CWM 6.0.3.2 (611) does work fine but i heard it does NOT work with android 4.3.... Edited August 22, 2013 by mdingemanse
