[Q] Galaxy S4 Hyperdrive ROM Installation Problems - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I have tried to install the Hyperdrive ROM on my rooted Galaxy S4 between 10-15 times, following the instructions on sbreen94's main Hyperdrive page exactly, without success. I have an old version of Hyperdrive currently installed, so I know it's not some sort of permissions or root issue. The ROM installs and boots all the way through, but then 5-10 seconds after the boot finishes the phone restarts. This happens continuously (don't know if "bootloop" is the right term when the ROM boots fully and then keeps restarting). Can someone PLEASE help me figure this out?

Yep, this is a known issue and MANY have had the same exact problem.
To fix the bootloop, reflash Hyperdrive. This time DO NOT choose the Walkman Music App in the installation wizard (aroma). Hyperdrive 7.0 should boot up flawlessly.

Ahh! I'll try that. I have been selecting to install the Walkman Music App. Will let you know how it turns out.

Thank you so much. That worked perfectly.

[Q] Bootloop after 2nd reboot of Hyperdrive RLS4

I'm using the up-to-date version of TWRP 2.5.0.2. I followed the instructions to flash Hyperdrive exactly (3x wipes, wipes, install, rebooting, etc). My phone works after the first reboot, but after I reboot the second time after 10 minutes my phone consistently bootloops every time after that. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
I'm running the RLS3 right now because I was tired of being afraid to reboot my phone lol. It's pretty stable, the only problem is that I find I can't make a nandroid backup- the data partition is ludicrously large at 2 TB, and I can't figure out why.
Anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

You can try and switch the kernel and see if the problem still there. I would go with KT Kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294083
make sure you use the touchwiz based kernel.

[Q] ROM: Hellybean Problem: won't reboot

Hellybean is by far the best ROM I've used yet on my Note. It runs almost perfectly. I did have to reboot because my bluetooth wouldn't come on (reboot always fixes that). However, when I rebooted it, the phone tried to restart, I saw the Samsung SGH-I717 screen, and then it went black. It never brings up the Hellybean ring of fire. If I pull the battery I see the ring of fire for about 5 seconds, then it reboots, then black screen.
At this point, the only thing I can do is force the phone into TWRP and restore a previous backup. Does anyone have any idea what could cause the phone to not want to reboot back into the system?
I was on the latest Hellybean build and TWRP is up-to-date as well. I had to revert back to the October 10 build though. I just tried rebooting it after a restore and the same thing happens (so it's not specific to a certain date of ROM). As long as I don't reboot I don't have a problem.
Thanks

have you tried any other roms?
I have ran every update of Hellybean since its arrival here. I had made a backup and flashed another rom, didn't like so I went to install back up.
it would not install, just kept looping in the boot screen. had to fresh flash the rom. didn't matter which, just had to reflash. screen never went black though. you issue sounds more similar to a stuck power button, which is why I ask if you have had same problem with another rom.
I find it hard to believe this rom wont restore a back up. others have not chimed in with that specific issue. but you and I may just be 2 that have voiced the issue. wasn't that big of issue for me as I thought it more an oddity. my back up wouldn't install at all in 3 attempts, so again, whyi question your power button.
try another rom real quick if you can. don't have to like or want it, but this is a test right?
let us know what happens

Let me clarify ... I'm not having a problem restoring or installing Hellybean or any other ROM. It's after I install or restore and the ROM is running fine (for days even) ... at some point I have to reboot for some reason and it's then that it won't boot back into the ROM. In other words I can't reboot my system because it never comes back to the ROM. I have to then boot to TWRP, restore something else and then that will boot to the ROM. If I reboot again after the ROM is up and running, I get the same thing, it won't boot back into the ROM, I have to restore again. That rules out a power button ... if it was stuck I would never get back in.
I've tried most of the ROMs out there, but since Hellybean I haven't tried any others (because this is the best one). You think there's any possibility dirty flashing all of the Hellybean builds over top of each other could cause it? Maybe I'll try installing the latest one from a full wipe.
Thanks

I have dirty flashed every one. the only thing I try to do when gong dirty is to still give it that 10 settle time. no particular reason other than my OCD
Okay, thanks for the replies. I'll play around with it some more, maybe try a fresh install and see if that changes anything. I'll let you know if I figure it out.
Chris
I figured it out. Not Hellybean at all. It was TWRP. I reverted back to an early build and then reinstalled 2.6.3.0 and now it reboots fine.
Chris
I guess I can't edit the title to reflect the correct issue? Thread can be deleted if the moderators want. Hellybean is running strong ... it's the first ROM I get 0 random reboots.
Thanks for the help captemo and to the makers of Hellybean.

beanstalk
I got exactly same problem with beanstalk 4.3.
I tried reinstall recovery but no luck. Every time powering off or rebooting need a fully wipe and restore.
Do you think other or older recovery will work?

So did you:
1- restore a stable backup
2- boot to recovery and flash TWRP (which version?)
3- Boot back into recovery
3- wipe and flash HellyBean
Is this correct?

i545 + ME7 + SS + Hyperdrive (Newest) + Successful install = Failed. (Won't boot)

I don't know what happened. Or why it won't work.
When Safestrap was originally finished, I installed Hyperdrive without a problem. An update came, I downloaded and installed. It made it so I couldn't use HotSpot anymore. So, I figured it was the Rom, and I installed Jellybean Rom. I didn't like it. I tried to install the original Hyperdrive I had, and once its installed and reboots, the lights come on for one second and shut off. Downloaded the newest Hyperdrive, same issue.
The instructions say wait for 10 minutes. I did, and longer. (Range usually 20-40 minutes)
Last night I wanted to try again, (downloaded newest hyperdrive. I have sloooooow internet. Took 5 hours to finish). So, I tried installing today following the instructions, same issue. It installs and says everything is fine, reboot, safestrap pops up, loads normally through that, and the lights are on after like it starts with Stock, lights shut off, phone stops working.
When this happens, the phone does not respond to anything. Power does nothing. I waited 45 minutes the 3rd time trying to reboot after install. The phone will not turn on, respond, or anything unless I pop the battery out and put it back in. I can get back into Safestrap that way.
I really want to use Hyperdrive, but it just won't reboot for my phone.
I do have the Verizon i545 version, ME7, Safestrap, Rooted, and newest Hyperdrive Rom. Used the Safestrap Kernel, but the phone locks up.
I've tried default settings, different Rom settings, (2gb and 3gb), removing almost everything from install, adding what I want, adding what I like, etc. No combination of settings will let me phone boot into Hyperdrive.
Any thoughts?
Are you completely removing then re-creating the slot when trying all these flashes?
Are you flashing the ME7 kernel module.zip ?
I redo the rom slot each time and act like it's the first time.
And i can't install the module... Tried multiple times but it fails almost instantly through ss.

Have you tried to re-download the module? Preferably on the computer then transfer to your ExtSDCard with the ROM.
So... The one I downloaded to my computer failed, but the one I did with my phone worked.
Still the same issue. Won't boot past the SS message.

While you were trying to install did you notice if zip signature was checked if so uncheck when you install and uncheck when you install module other than that don't know what else to say. When i first started i found that to be my problem.
The zip signatures were not checked. : /

And I've tried the older version Hyperdrive with the new ME7 Modules, still won't work. I can't understand because everything says it was successful and ready to go, but it just doesn't.
Also double checked my i545 version, it is still ME7 and not the new one. The new update is pushy and wants to be installed more aggressively than the ME7 did. Highly annoying...

Get off 3.62 and go back to 3.6 if you can. use root uninstaller to get rid of the current SS and shut down normally. ( all in stock rom ) reboot to stock recovery and factory reset. put the 3.0 SS back on and install twrp through that and reboot fully. then you can go into SS and reboot to recovery and you should be good
EDIT: go back to 3.6 SS not 3.0 haha
EDIT 2: always wipe even after you just created the slot and flash the modules with HD10 and advanced wip the dalvik and the cache only. and chill for 10 and boot her up..... and make sure you didnt accdentally get the dreadful OTA!!!

I promise you this makes no sense....and I think there was something wrong with the stock rom...only thing I can conclude. I did a factory reset and bricked my phone. I can't even get into Safestrap now...whatever the issue was with the custom rom is now the issue with the stock rom. So, i'm just going to wipe my phone and start over from scratch as that is the only available step. Ill let you know if it fixed the issue or not.

Did you have 3.62? my buddy did and his phone wouldnt let him delete it! crazy. i dont like 3.62 but i was running HDrls10 like a champ. not a single issue. With the me7 base i want to say i didnt even flash the modules over it but i cant remember. but basically ( by what i wrote down) you were going to start from scratch anyway.. there is a better root out now anyway. use the dialer codes and get a REAL factory reset!! There are a lot of people that arent digging the 3.62..... it was causing bootloops for a while but there are def still some lingering issues i think.

Well...nothing has worked.
Update for everyone, I was using the older SS, 3.60.
I killed everything, put the original Verizon ME7 Rom on the phone, re-rooted, put 3.62 SS on, (Done like it), installed the HDrls10, Installed the module, (both successful), restarted, exact same thing. Right after Safestrap Enabled pops up, the phone goes dark and the battery needs to be removed and put back in for it to turn on again.
So, I tried something crazy and for whatever reason it worked as far as HD is concerned...but...I went outside of the instructions.
I have the HD rls9 Final. I installed it through SS, used the modded Kernel, (non SS), and restarted. It popped right up in about 45 seconds. (Wasnt working before I reset everything and started over)
I tried HD rls10 Final that way, and nothing.
I will be redownloading it tonight to make sure it isn't the download. (I have slow internet, itll take all night likely.) : /
If anyone is looking to actually uninstall SS (which you need to do to roll back a version) you need to use the commands hashcode has provided. Using Terminal Emulator on the stock side will accomplish that. Read up on hashcode's SS OP.
My phone will not accept HDrls 10....no matter what I try. It accepted HDrls9 without issue, minus the hotspot not working. But it will not accept HDrls10...
Im out of ideas...
EDIT: I downloaded the HDrls 10 rom from two locations, tried both, both failed this morning.

All I can think of is somehow you are getting bad downloads. Have you checked the MD5s to match per the download sites listing?

I just double checked the MD5. It matches the download. How frustrating. Double checked the build, double checked the MD5, double checked install procedure, etc. It flat doesn't work on my phone, and there is no logical reason to it. I tried from a fresh build twice now, doing the rooting and SS install from stock everything.
It locks up right after SS, still.
Electronics hate me, it has been determined before. This is just further proof.
: /
So, I've done pretty much everything feasible. Guess Ill have to stick with an older HD or different rom. : (
Also, hotspot doesn't work HD 9 for me, (nor Jellybeans). I installed the module when I did the rom, but there is no hotspot for one. And two, when I download and use FoxFi, which I paid for to use on the Stock Rom before SS, it will try to turn it on and then it freezes and crashes.
All I want is a non-Verizon Rom with working Hotspot!!!! AHHHHH!!!! Looks like that aint happening.
Well played Verizon...well played. Perahps I should get an international phone and go to another company. Expensive, but tempting.
So, the final verdict for those following -
Hyperdrive 10 - Does not work on my i545 no matter what I tried.
Hyperdrive 9 - Works but the hotspot is glitched and froze no matter what I tried.
Jellybean - Works the same as HD 9
Synergy - Works. Everything on it works, hotspot, install, etc.
Not sure why the others did not work. But, for whatever reason Synergy works flawlessly for my i545. Installed and downloaded the same ways as the others, yet it worked.
: /
I was planning on trying a few others first, but Synergy claims to block Samsung from logging information from my phone. I realize this doesn't stop every company from doing it, but its the thought that counts. lol. So, Im trying this Rom out now. It's no hyperdrive, but it works.
After a BUNCH of tries I finally got it to work!!
I have a Verizon i545 with ME7. I basically started as if I'd never installed HD 9.1 in the first place.
Here's what I did.
1. Double check that your device is rooted. I used Root Checker Basic. I actually re-rooted my device just to be sure (I venture to guess it might have been unnecessary) and it worked.
2. I used a 4GB SD formatted to ex-fat and put the HD RLS10 AND the ME7 modules .zip file on it (Both on the SD)
3. I then booted into recovery.
4. Make a new ROM slot.
5. Name it whatever you like.
6. When you go to flash HD, hit the add zip button and select the ME7 modules.zip
7. When HD gets done flashing UNCHECK the "Reboot" box up top and then hit the reboot tab at the bottom right.
8. It will automatically flash the ME7 modules next. When it says 'Successful', then reboot.
9. Give it a few seconds and hopefully it will work for you as well. Good luck.

[Q] Galaxy S4 ME7 - No custom ROM will boot, tried everything I could find

Hi XDA,
For the past several days I've tried to Safestrap a custom ROM to my phone. I'm running a rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 with ME7 (Verizon), Android 4.2.2. It's worth noting that the phone has not received an official Verizon update since August; I tried using Loki back then before knowing about the locked bootloader, and it has not affected anything except that the phone softbricks into the ODIN screen whenever it tries to install a Verizon update. (I hope this is not the cause of the problem, but let me know if you think it is.) It's also worth noting that I deleted the stock messaging app (SecMMS.apk and SecMMS.odex.) I am using Safestrap 3.65.
So far, I've tried three different ROMs (Hyperdrive RLS10.2, Jelly Beans Build 7, Google Play Edition for 4.2.2.) Each install produced the same results: it installs just fine in the ROM slot (along with the ME7 modules afterwards), but when I reboot the system, it shows the Samsung logo, the Safestrap splash screen, and then the screen goes black indefinitely. A battery removal is required.
I've tried every trick I could find to get the ROMs working. I've done a full factory reset each time (data + both caches), tried downloading each mod several times on both my phone and my computer (verified MD5 each time) and same with the modules, waited at least 20 minutes during each boot attempt, tried installing each ROM with default settings and minimal apps, used Stock kernels each time, made sure the modules are installed before rebooting (I also tried without the modules to make sure they weren't the problem--same result.) Each time I try an install, I delete the ROM slot and format it again (usually a 1GB-2GB-300MB split.) I've searched and searched and can't seem to find anyone with this problem that hasn't solved it through one of the fixes I've unsuccessfully tried.
I'm plum out of ideas now, and am hoping someone may have more wisdom to share. Please help!

[Q] I got a boot loop and almost bricked my phone and I don´t know why

Before continuing reading, please keep in mind that the problem I am asking support for was already solved for my own. What I want to know is how did it happen. For prevention, you know.
It all started when I flashed the Black Box ROM 2.0.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1834915) It flashed normally, without any problem. But, since it lacked the Xposed Framework, I installed it manually, downloading from its thread, and choosing a full install. Using the Framework I downloaded Gravity Box and the Youtube Adaway, before downloading Youtube. Since the modules needed a reboot to work, I rebooted. And this is when the bad things started to happen.
The ROM did not start. It went through the BlackBox logo, but when it appeared that the SIM unlock was going to pop up, then the phone turned off. This happened many times. So I decided to do a full wipe and install another ROM. The problem was that the phone didn´t allowed me to access the recovery.
I was using the PhilZ Touch 6, but when I pressed Volume up+Menu+Power it did not work. The only thing that worked was the Odin Menu, and I got stuck at it, I couldn´t get out the Odin Menu. So, seeing that the phone wasnt going to work anyways, I flashed a 4.3 stock ROM through Odin.
As I suspected, the ROM got stuck at boot, and got a bootloop. So then I flashed another recovery, and flashed good ol´ CWM. And It worked..for a while. The phone would shut down after some seconds. So then I tried to flash TWRP, but it lasted about one second and then the phone shut down again.
Since I was using Odin 3.03, I downloaded Odin 3-04 Moded Edition, from the Modem thread, and then reflashed CWM. In this time, it worked without failing, and I could do a full wipe and flashing an old Cyanogenmod 4.2.2 ROM, finally solving the problem. The day after I flashed Ultima ROM and at the moment it goes fine, without any problem. Which is weird, because it too uses Gravity Box and Xposed Modules. I even installed new modules, rebooted the phone and it works fine, without any problem.
What I want for the people here is that someone explains to me what happened, because the BlackBox ROM looked gorgeous and I wanted to give it a long try. And because I spent an entire night solving that problem, and well, I wont sleep in peace until I get to know what happened to that bastard

OK first black box already has xposed in ROM control settings.. so maybe because you manually installed it it may have caused conflicts... Don't know why you got a recovery bootloop... but maybe due to same problems... And I am also using blackbox 2.1 and so far it is fantastic...

Partition structure on these phones is very fragile, one bad shutdown can corrupt one or more partitions at the same time. I'd suggest the combination of mods applied caused the kernel panic, while data was being written.
Subsequent events read like normal solution to corruption, it shouldn't happen again but best to apply framework mods one at a time.

Hmm, I don´t remember that the BlackBox 2.0.2 had any Framework...thats why I did a manual installation. But I will try the new version 2.1. Hopefully the problems may have been solved.

Interesting. So I have to apply mods one by one? Or can I add multiple mods because corruption has already been solved?
On a side note, when I boot the phone the red exclamation mark that used to appear has disappeared. Does that means that I somewhat reseted the flash counter to 0?
