[Q] Flashing ROM failure

Manganese · Jul 13, 2014

Hi,

Yesterday I went to flash CyanogenMod 11 on my Galaxy s4 (GT19505) and it wouldn't work. The first time, it started then went to a black screen. I turned my phone back on to find it wouldn't boot up at all (I waited over 10 minutes for it). I can access recovery mode, and when I did it again, it said md5 couldn't be found.

I used Odin to flash the most recent CT auto root and then moved over TWRP (with Odin) and I had no trouble with these.

I accidentally moved TWRP 2.5 over instead of 2.7. I was running 4.4 KitKat on my phone. Could it be 2.7 isn't compatible with CM 11?

Help!?

It should just work.

Flash the latest TWRP or Philz.
Perform a full wipe.
Flash Cyanogenmod.

What version are you trying to flash from Cyanogenmod? Use the nightlys and if one doesn't work try the version before that one.

ps you can skip the step nexttime about flashing cf-auto root. You don't have to do this. You can just flash the recovery you want.

I'm using a stable version. I haven't downloaded any latest ones. How would i do that if I can't access the phone? Boot it to download then go from there?

are you sure you (even) flashed a (compatible) kernel?

Is there any difference between 19500 and 19505? I'll try a new CM download...knowing my uncertainty I probably got an incompatible rom.

How stable are the nightlies?

You should only flash a rom for YOUR model phone, and for me the nightlies were stable enough to use.

So I redid TWRP, now what about CM 11? TWRP uses the jfltexx in its name...do I just use Odin to move CM?

So, I installed TWRP 2.7 and it worked. All is good, currently enjoying CM!!!

Now the battery is saying it's at 0%...how do I fix that?

Now my password isn't working for some reason. I did a restore with TWRP and now I can get into my phone. Fix?

Did you wipe before restoring?

No. I just tried it and the same problem occurred. It's no biggie, I can reformat the settings myself. Thanks for the help.
