Let this be a warning, the latest update put my phone in a reboot loop. After trying to apply the update clockwordmod would come up on restart, installation would fail, couldn't see why, too fast, the phone would start up and after 15-20 sec it would shutdown to start all over again.

Don't know what update does as I have a french phone and all update messages come in french. I saw that USB on the go was mentioned and some other bug fixes.


TO FIX:

Enter fastbood mode (VOL DOWN+POWER)

From the PC enter:

fastboot erase cache


Can someone more knowledgeable say why the update fails?

Regards

This is the Philz recovery for the Samsung S4, I'd recommend you fix the link before we have people wondering what went wrong :)

If i understand it... Have you flashed OTA with Phil CWM without reverting phone to full stock (recovery, unrooted and untouched system apps)?

yap

ps : when i update the xposed Framework, & reboot my G, i get back my gravitybox setting

What variant r u using? I'm waiting for the us gsm update for xt1034 so I can have native otg USB. I already have philz installed so if I can just flash over my rooted stock ROM that would be awesome!

    I had the same problem. You have to go back to latest stock rom before installing the update, and then rooting again. Worked fine for me.

    See this guide for example : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2542219

    Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I was thinking that you need the stock recovery and not CWM or TWRP.

    Stock RECOVERY, KERNEL and NO changes in /system partition whatsoever (including root.)
    With some experience there´s nothing easier than flash stock ROM. Or do it thrice a day if you feel like that ;)
