Pa 4.4 beta 1

waro470 · Jun 5, 2014

As some of you already know, version 4.4 BETA 1 of Paranoid Android is problematic — it results in a boot loop, with recovery mode being unaccessible.

(I was stupid enough to perform a flash without bothering to check PA's dedicated thread. I know, dumb move.)

Now, download mode is still available, but my computer will not recognize my phone. Therefore, Odin is unusable, I have installed Samsung's USB driver for mobile phone version 1.5.34, but my phone was still not recognized after that.

Any ideas?

same thing happened to me but I downloaded odin 3.09 and booted to download than I succed to flash philz kernel with recovery and restored my backup.

And I think you my have problem with OS, usb port or usb cable.
Try reboot PC, change windows profile, usb port.
Good luck

These are the drivers that you downloaded?:

What operating system you are using?

If you are using Win 8, I recommend using odin 3:07 or 3:09. Also work well with win7

Odin all versions:

I guess I'll make a rule about not flashing my phone after soccer... Too tired to even think straight. Well, it turns out I was using the wrong version of USB driver and Odin, too.

I will keep you guys updated. Thanks for the quick replies, everyone!

[EDIT]: Awesome. I've been able to install Philz's recovery (using Odin v3.07), but not the latest version. I'm under the impression that that old version of the recovery is not letting me install Kitkat-based PA ROMs.

Should I flash PA 3.99 first, and then upgrade to PA 4?

Recovery is build into the kernel, so flash a kernel instead of a full rom.
I recommend Forest-CM11
This kernel and recovery will be overwritten by the rom anyway.

If you want to try last PA KK, you must first install Forest CM11 kernel V3B, Wipe data / factory reset, wipe cache, wipe davlik cache, then install PA KK, reinstall Forest CM11 V3B kernel, wipe cache, wipe davlik cache reboot.

But now, I recommend to wait for new updates

If you want to try a great rom KK, I recommend using CarbonRom KitKat, I'm testing latest nightly, and it works really great.

Go to in recovery
install, Forest CM11 kernel V3B http://www.mediafire.com/download/t1imczaknfmid69/Forest-CM11-kernel-V3b.zip
Wipe data / factory reset
wipe cache
wipe davlik cache
install rom https://carbonrom.org/mirrors/?file=n7000/nightly/CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140603-1127-n7000.zip
install pa gapps modular http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/gapps-full
Reboot

enjoy

For some reason, I thought it wasn't logical to flash a recovery while being in recovery mode... Anyhow, it's been a smooth ride thanks to you guys.

(Going back to my old Nokia 5230 sure was a scarring experience...)

Why was it not logical? You just installed a new kernel to get the recent version of cwm which is selinux compatible, abki to flash 4.4 roms.

I know practically nothing about Android when it comes to under the hood stuff. That and I always have the worst scenario in mind. Since kernel flashing hasn't been trouble-free for me under Linux generally speaking (except for Manjaro), I tend to be careful, and imagine that there could be conflicts.

Firest kernel does not provide a tar version... only the zip file which can only be flashed from recovery
and the problem is exactly this that we cannot access recovery now (after flashing pa 4.4.3)

please suggest a way of getting back my phone again

odin 3.07 is stuck at NAND write start ... i am trying to flash philz recovery 6.07.9 from the source mentioned above

cant seem to fix my phone..pleas Help

Here is what i would do in your situation. Note that i am not an expert.

If odin doesnt flash your file, download it again, and try again maybe its a bad download.
If it still does not work try heimdall
If that does not help, include a pit file in odin. <- Can be rather dangerous.

I tried falshing a pit file...even that failed
