Rooting fnk1
So this might be a silly question but after upgrading to 4.4.2 via samsung kies, I can't find a root method that will work for VRUFNK1.... I tried towelroot but it doesn't support my device. If I want to try this rom out how do I go about rooting my S4 VZW?
question for wtfchuck about empty vzw galaxy
after you did the Alternative Custom ROM Method: to update to NK1 and flash ss, super su etc, did you immediately flash the custom rom or did you let the system boot and reboot into safestrap and then flash empty galaxy?
thanks

Nevermind. I allowed the phone to reboot and i got a bunch of "Backup Assistant Has Stopped" errors. Apparently my data backup had something in there that was causing this error.
I went back to safestrap, wiped, flashed empty galaxy, flashed modules and booted into empty galaxy with no issues. apps are installing as we speak.

rotate_on_home
I couldn't get rotate_on_home.zip to work. I flashed it in safestrap.
Any tricks/tips/setup info for this?

** [ROM] Empty [VZW] Galaxy v3.92 [I545VRUFNK1] 1/2** system cannot be backed up
System cannot be backed up via Safestrap after installing empty galaxy v3.92. Safestrap always says "backup complete failed" (in red letters). Did full update to I545VRUFNK1 via directions on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/how-to-root-i545vrufnk1-4-4-2-12-1-2014-t2959613. Tried both methods, odin only method and safestrap method. Both worked ok and I am able to back up system via safestrap from here. However as soon as I install empty galaxy v3.92, whether doing a factory reset (via normal recovery or safestrap) or advanced wipe via safestrap or no wipe at all I lose abiltiy to backup system. Tried both Safestrap-JFLTE-3.72-kk-B01 and Safestrap-I545-3.75-KitKat-A03.
I spent hours trying to solve this and got nowhere. I can back up system on stock I545VRUFNK1 no problem but as soon as I install empty galaxy v3.92 via any type of wipe or no wipe at all I can no longer backup system. I can confirm I am on baseband I545VRUFNK1, Android Version 4.4.2 and using I545_NK1_Modules. I have tried every option under the sun seems the problem lies with empty galaxy v3.92.
** [ROM] Empty [VZW] Galaxy v3.92 [I545VRUFNK1] 1/2** system cannot be backed up
Fixed??!!
Went for a ride into the city this afternoon, listened to some Bluetooth music, changed theme in supersu, set correct time zone in safestrap
No major changes made
Decided to give it another go after like 8 hours of trying to solve this yesterday. System (and data) backs up ok now.
From what I have read in the General section for this device, you need to do the temporary kernel downgrade method to root NK1 with towelroot. ..
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
Yeah I did just that. Used I545VRUFNK1_I545VZWFNK1_I545VRUFNK1_HOME.tar via odin to upgrade to NK1 (came from CarHD 32.1S v2 NG6-NCx STOCK so unable to get OTA update). Once I update to NK1 use odin to flash I545_NC5_Stock_Kernel, run towelroot, then use odin to flash I545_NK1_Stock_Kernel. Then install supersu.
Honestly I don't know how I fixed it. My best guess is somehow having the wrong time zone in safestrap somehow caused a problem backing up system. All I know is now I can back up system ok (data too).
Thanks for the help anyway...still worth giving a thumbs up!
phone issue when connecting bluetooth during call
i have an issue that ive found. when i accept a call and then connect my bluetooth headset, com.android.phone crashes and i cant hear anything in my bluetooth headset. i can still talk on the phone and sometimes it switches to speaker. i cant hang up either even if i click phone again.
i managed to recreate it and recorded a logcat with catlog but i dont really know what everything is doing in there or if i caused it with an app conflict.
normally i have my bluetooth headset connected first and then make a call and thats fine. i just switched to this rom last friday or saturday and i dont think i connected the headset during a call since then.
thanks.
I am a bit confused over what is the purpose of the empty galaxy rom. Does it actually free up any space on the internal storage? My S4 seems to have about as much free space as running a full stock rom. What are the actual advantages of running the empty galaxy rom versus a full stock rom?
I love the work on this rom and enjoy running it. I am just curious as to why my S4 only has 6.5 gb free on the internal storage when I barely have any apps installed.

The current size of this rom is less than 1 gig. Current stock 4.4.2 is approx 2.6 gig so there is 1.5 gig saved... UNLESS...you are keeping stock rom in Stock slot and employing slot-1 for custom rom which means you have approx 3.5 gig in just rom. I run EVG in Stock slot leaving other slots empty and have 101 USER apps on phone w/ 6.5 gig left on internal SD.
Nk1 modules
Where can I download Nk1 modules?
thank you
I just wanted to thank you for this rom. It works great, and is the only one I've had zero problems installing. Are you going to be developing one for the lollipop update once it's released? Perhaps one that can be installed with safestrap so that we don't have to do the ota update and lose root access?
Problems with GPS and Keyboard.
Hi I'm still new to flashing roms and such. But I have a Verizon S4 with a FRESH INSTALL of NK1 Towel rooted with Safestrap v3.75, I've attempted to install your rom to my phone and it goes through fine. I have flashed the NK1 Modules. However my GPS is locked on PowerSaving, I can not switch to accurate. Also when I attempt to switch to SwiftType (Keyboard) it prompts me that it may collect data, I ok that and it goes back to Samsung Keyboard. How can I override these? I am having issues with "EGR_TWUI_321". Thanks for your help. If you need more information let me know what you need and I'll try to reply promptly.
So just out of curiosity I wiped my system and started over from a base NK1 then I went through the steps of rooting and Safestrap, but I installed the 3-4-15 version this time. And the above issues are not present. However I really dislike this one when compared to the newest one when it comes to theme and customizing. It's also not as bloat free as the other one. I still have Amazon music and NFL and even VZTones.... Any idea why the newest one is breaking the GPS and the Keyboard? I really want to run that one again =(

It sounds like you either done a dirty flash or your system didn't get wiped properly.
That or those apps are being restored from the Play Store. I could be wrong but I don't believe any of those apps are even in the rom.
Maybe a factory reset (full wipe) and a clean install would solve your issues.

Thanks I'll try starting over from base and seeing what happens and I'll update you. Towel is the app used to root the NK1 firmware, safestrap is the app that we who are stuck on Verizon with a locked bootloader have to use to flash roms. SwiftKey is a keyboard app from the play store. Or where you talking about my second flash with the 3-14-15?

Gotcha. I thought it was weird too still have them too. I just reinstalled the newest version this morning. Everything seems to be working now. Not sure what happened since it was the only Rom I installed.
I'm not new to flashing ROM's but it has been a few months now and have been running CM13 for those said months.
Well I got my Galaxy Gear 380 watch fixed and need to go back to a TouchWiz Rom to enable Gear features.
Baseband: G900TUVU10B1
Do I need to Odin back to stock and start fresh, or can I just wipe & flash whichever rom in TWRP?
My phone can't be out of order for long, that's why I'm trying this on a Sunday
TIA
why would recovery or bootloader or baseband affect simple apps & services that run within the ROM?
if for whatever weird reason a TWRP flashed ROM doesnt work, only then is it the time to think about odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/help/samsung-devices-running-cm13-12-1-pair-t3290076 is this of use before you do anything?
I just rooted my phone (Samsung S6 Edge [SM-G925P] running Android 6.0.1) this Friday and I have a couple of questions about using the CyanogenMod ROM and installing Xposed. To note, I am pretty, pretty new (I literally just rooted 2 days ago.
So my question about CyanogenMod is will it run on my rooted Samsung and is it dedoxed? I already have TWRP and SuperSU flashed and installed on my phone.
And my question about Xposed is will it run on my phone, as well with CyanogenMod, TWRP and SuperSU? I tried installing it with the original ROM on my phone, but that provided to be disasterous since it soft-bricked my phone, but I heard that was because my ROM was deodexed.
Hi NovaViper ! It depends. Cyanogenmod and other ROMS can come in two flavors: odexed or deodexed. The one on the official Cyanogenmod Website is deodexed. If you go on Cyanogemod's official website they don't have a ROM for Samsung Galaxy S6 / Edge. Check it out: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/ Look at the left to see supported devices. Unfortunately, it's not there. Some Galaxy S6 / Edge models do support Cyanogenmod but as for your model the SM-G925P there is still no official support for CM ROM. Check this link out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...development/cyanogenmod-13-galaxy-s6-t3269984 Just out of curiosity, why do you want to install CM on your device?
I want to try CM because I heard it offers full customization.. I really would like to customize the lockscreen and colors of the UI especially and because it is deodexed, so I can also add Xposed. I have another ROM atm called Mostly Stock (its based on ROM but its deodexed and have a few changes to the stock UI, BUT it still has the parts I hate about the stock ROM). I specifically want CM because I haven't found any other ROM that offers full customization, deodxed for Xposed, and most importantly, is not like the stock ROM.
Oh, also with CM, I tried to install it but it said my device isn't support.. I tried the one from the link
If you want a full stable ROM for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and XPosed on it I would recommend this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/development/rom-carhdrom-1-t3111519. My friend has it on his ROOTED S6 Edge and it offers even more customization's then Cyanogenmod plus you can install XPosed on it. Give it a try.
Thanks I already flashed it but I notice that it isn't responsive to touch. I can interact with the buttons but no response to touch whatsoever. Seems like there isn't a ROM that works with my SM-G925P, the edge that rom works with is a G925F
Hmm, I thought it would work on your model. Try this: http://androidfreeroms.com/renegade-android-m-6-0-1-aroma-rom-sprint-samsung-s6-g925p/
I got the rom flashed and running.. but i cant seem to restore my messages from the samsung backup.. i can only get them from Textra (which doesnt export them). Also, i cant receieve text messages either.
Well, I finally got my messages backed up but.. I notice something else now. I had installed Xposed, which ended up giving me a bootloop and I had to factory and data reset, and reflash my stock rom. then I installed TWRP and then Renegade, but the mobile data isn't working anymore. Its just black the black bars.. I can't even find the Mobile Data enable button anywhere. (It works on stock rom though). To point out, mobile data WAS working before I installed Xposed. Right now, I'm reflashing my stock rom and seeing if it works.
--UPDATE 1--
Yeah, the stock mobile data works.. although I do have a theory on what could be going on
Theory 1: It could be I have to install my ROMS a certain way, initally, I had stock ROM, then I added the "Mostly Stock ROM" THEN I added Rengeade when you suggested it to me
Theory 2: Possibily signal strength/proxies (I'm doing this at on my school's wifi)
Theory 3: Something that Xposed has modified and its still there
--UPDATE 2--
I did the first theory and it worked successfully BUT.. I did remember that I had installed SuperSU soon after flashing twrp (which came after i flashed the stock rom).. Now I'm trying to see if that made a difference.
--UPDATE 3--
Ok, so it seems that it is a certain install order (tried with both superSU installed first and without). But I'm worried now about installing Xposed.. as I'm now nervous that it may end up messing up my phone again (It took a while for me to figure out how to get it back working.. as it ended up bricking with continuous looping and even factory resetting/clearing data off didn't work. I had to flash the stock rom for it to work again)
Interesting. My friends all have the International version which is G925F. Yours is Sprint ? Or some other cell phone provider ?
If your model goes haywire with simple custom rom installations and other apps than I wouldn't risk installing XPosed BUT if you do then try to follow these instructions... they work for your model:
https://xtremetricks.net/install-xposed-framework-android-6-0-6-0-1-marshmallow/
My phone is Sprint and I downloaded Xposed from the Magitsk app and it worked without bricking my phone.. I wonder why it was acting up
Strange thing, I seems I HAVE to install the 'Mostly Stock ROM' BEFORE I add Renegade.. the mobile data works to not work at all without installing Mostly Stock first.. How any idea how to fix this?
Well, I tried installing Magisk and it bricked my phone once again.. I'm really confused with whats going on. I have a backup of the stock ROM from SamMobile. What I want to do now is completely clear off ALL data from all of the roms and just start over, is that even possible? Also, if I delete the system files, do I HAVE to install the Stock ROM first, or can I just add the custom ROM and it will add the OS?
Well normally for rooted phones, you only add the custom ROM and it will automatically add the OS. I have no idea why you having so much problem with it. Did you unluck the bootloader ??
Yeah.. (I think), I made sure OEM Unlock is enabled and USB debugging is on.. Not sure what could be causing such problems with my phone.. I honestly wish I knew
What method did you use to root your phone and unlock the bootloader ?
I used the systemless method (installed TWRP, then installed the latest SuperSU which used the systemless method by itself) and I think I did.. there was an option where I had to enable (it was called OEM Unlocking, it was preventing me from flashing)
And I forgot to ask another question.. should I (and if such thing is possible) wipe the system/ folder and then install the custom ROM onto my phone without having to add the stock one at all?
What I would do if I were in your shoes is I would unroot and re-lock your bootloader again... see this article for unrooting: http://howunroot.com/unroot-supersu/samsung/galaxy+s6+edge+sm-g925p/5.0/ Now... once you unroot your phone... I don't think re-locking your bootloader will have any effect... but you can try to relock your bootloader and bring it to the original state meaning factory... once there just follow these instructions step by step: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/skipsoft-toolkit-galaxy-s6-edge-root-unlock-restore-flash-stock-firmware-drivers-more-1517879 Once you root it and unlock your bootloader again, and after your install TWRP, go into TWPR, wipe dalvik cache, wipe system, wipe everything ... and then instlal the custom ROM that I gave you in the link, and it should be working find without problems. Try that and get back to me and update me... if you have any questions then just post it here and I will help you as much as i can.
I don't think I unlocked the bootloader because I looked up the instructions to how to unlock the bootloader and I didn't do that.. all I did was enable OEM unlock, is that the same thing as unlocking the bootloader? If not, how do I unlock the bootloader?
Suggestion of a stable custom ROM and additional info how to "cleanly" install it.
Hello to the community.
I need your help in choosing a stable custom ROM and some info on the steps on how to make a clean install.
I was using a galaxy S3 i9300 with CM11 and TWRP 2.7, 2 years ago. I bought a used htc m8 and put the S3 on the drawer. Last year i turned it on again and used it some time. I checked for updates and without thinking it, i installed cm 13(snapshot). After restarting it, i had the problem with the " trebuchet stopped" and "google play services stopped".After that, i did sth that i don't remember and had the flashing(boot loop?) twrp logo and not being able to boot to the phone. And i put it again in the drawer. Now i want to give it to my little brother and today i took it out again.
Through terminal and adb i booted the phone with the "reboot" command but had the "trebuchet + google play stopped" message again. After some time fiddling around, i flashed the latest version of TWRP with Odin, thinking that i could solve the problem like that but the phone is stuck on the CM logo trying to boot. Even if it boots i think it will show these 2 messages all the time(but it doesn't boot) .
So i want your advice on choosing a good and stable custom ROM to flash, possibly with Odin. The language will be in english and i don't care if it's Android 6 or 7 or 5 as long as it's stable. He will use the phone for basic stuff and not sth too extreme. I remember using CM11 without issues but i know that now there are lots of others roms. Also i want to make the cleanest install to minimise the possibilities of crashes and to give him a clean from everything, phone. But i have forgotten some steps in TWRP.
Thank you in advance and i'm waiting for your suggestions and advice.
The last official stock firmware is probably best as it is the most stable and he won't be able to break it unlike with custom roms.
Beamed in by telepathy.
So I have got this Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 3G 10.1" that has been lying in a cupboard for a around a year, mainly because I've been busy Now there's a family member of mine who would really need a tablet so I thought this one would be perfect for her!
From thinking I went on to doing and started with getting rid of the stock software and installing some nice custom ROM.
As I found out i couldn't use USB (probably busted data-cable), I rooted the tab using KingRoot and went on installing CWM recovery. Afterwards long story short: I've tried both CWM and TWRP, different ROM and android versions (Lineage, CM, Slim etc.) and different GApps packages from different developers but the problem still seems to come up :crying:
The problem itself is that when I've installed any of the above mentioned ROMs, all the GApps seem to not have been installed correctly (even though the installation process in recovery went smoothly) and basically none of them works (notifications saying that any GApp has stopped keep on coming up and I can't find any Google app in the menu except something things like "com.google.android..." or "com.android.vending...") otherwise everything seems perfectly fine.
Maybe there are others here experiencing the same issue or there's someone who knows how to fix this here, any help will be very appreciated :good:
Hello,
First, have you checked that the ROM you flashed was fully compatible with your device? Yes, this is obvious, but I have to ask.
Second, I'm not a ROM flashing via custom recovery fan... The best way to efficiently flash a ROM in my opinion is Odin-Download mode but whatever (your USB port is screwed, so pfu.)
Redownloading apps doesn't work for you? (updating the apk may fix that!)

Thanks for your reply!
Yes, I do have used ROMs compatible with my device as they've all are made for espresso3g (which is my device).
I know it's not really the best way but I'll keep on trying with custom recovery for some more time and then perhaps try buying a new cable, and see if that works.
Tried installing Google Play Store from APK both on a clean ROM without GApps and with, but it still doesn't run and keeps on saying that either Google Play Store or "com.google.process.gapps" has stopped.
Alright...
I'm out of idea x/

Hello...!
You could try the following....
1. make absolutely sure you are using the correct version of gapps for the custom rom you are currently using. If your custom rom is on android 6, you need gapps for android 6 for example.
2. after flashing gapps wipe cache/dalvik and make a factory reset BEFORE exiting twrp. You will lose personal data but since you are preparing to give the device to somebody else that should not be much of a concern.
Let me know if it helps, if it does not, I might be able to try and provide additional suggestions.
Good luck!

Hi and thanks for your reply!
1. The ROMs I've been trying to install are all android 6.0.1 and I've been trying with different OpenGApps packages for the 6.0 version which should work (except CM 12 which is android 5.1 with which I've tried OpenGApps and A-Gapps for Android 5.1).
2. Tried that with 3 different ROMs today and the results are following: Slimrom gets stuck in setupwizard which doesn't start, CM 12 starts but the same error as first seems to appear (I get notifications about GApps which stop working) and Lineage bootloops the lineage start screen.

Ok...
This is what I would do if it was my device and I was facing what you are describing. It might take some time and a little patience to do everything described here, but it might also work.
1. Usin Odin, flash latest available official rom for the device. Let it boot and complete setup.
2. Use odin and use CF autoroot to root. Again boot and complete setup.
3. Flash Twrp. Enter Twrp and flash latest flashable supersu.zip. At this time I believe is version 2.82. Again boot and let it reach your welcome screen.
4. Enter Twrp. Enter advanced wipe. Wipe everything except external SD and usb at least 3 times. Do not exit twrp.
5. Install you rom. Do not exit Twrp.
6. After installing your rom, Twrp will ask you if you want to wipe cache/dalvik. "Yes" but DO NOT reboot.
7. Install correct version of gapps for your custom rom (correct both android version and architecture version). Again twrp will ask you to wipe cache/dalvik. "Yes" and this time reboot.
See what happens. If it gets stuck, try entering twrp again and do a factory reset only, only once and reboot again.
If that fails again... I will at a loss here myself too...
I did a quick search here on xda on P5100, I am providing some links that you can take a look at. You probably already searched yourself but you never know...

If nothing else helps, perhaps the best way to go around this would be to find a custom rom with at least some google apps pre-installed, in order to save you the trouble you are currently facing.

Maybe there are others here experiencing the same issue or there's someone who knows how to fix this here, any help will be very appreciated :good:

So I have got this Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 3G 10.1" that has been lying in a cupboard for a around a year, mainly because I've been busy Now there's a family member of mine who would really need a tablet so I thought this one would be perfect for her!
From thinking I went on to doing and started with getting rid of the stock software and installing some nice custom ROM.
As I found out i couldn't use USB (probably busted data-cable), I rooted the tab using KingRoot and went on installing CWM recovery.

Hey, just try uninstalling Google play services and install them again. I faced the same issue and now it's all working on my Samsung Galaxy Core 2
