Locked bootloader? How to lokify before flashing:

  2. Flash the zip file and you are done

  • In Custom Backup and Restore menu, unselect all except recovery
  • validate to browse to the update recovery.img
  • done

bootloader is locked, you have to ask in FAQ how to flash cwm on verizon S4

Code:
First, a developer must pull the aboot image from a target device:
dan@pc:~$ adb shell
shell@android:/ $ su
shell@android:/ # dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/data/local/tmp/aboot.img
shell@android:/ # chmod 644 /data/local/tmp/aboot.img
shell@android:/ # exit
shell@android:/ $ exit
dan@pc:~$ adb pull /data/local/tmp/aboot.img
3293 KB/s (2097152 bytes in 0.621s)


Next, a .lok image can be prepared using loki_patch:


dan@pc:~$ loki_patch
Usage: ./loki_patch [boot|recovery] [aboot.img] [in.img] [out.lok]
dan@pc:~$ loki_patch recovery aboot.img cwm.img cwm.lok
[+] Detected target AT&T build JDQ39.I337UCUAMDB or JDQ39.I337UCUAMDL
[+] Output file written to cwm.lok


Finally, the .lok image can be flashed using loki_flash:


dan@pc:~$ adb push cwm.lok /data/local/tmp
dan@pc:~$ adb push loki_flash /data/local/tmp
dan@pc:~$ adb shell
shell@android:/ $ su
shell@android:/ # /data/local/tmp/loki_flash
Usage: /data/local/tmp/loki_flash [boot|recovery] [in.lok]
shell@android:/ # /data/local/tmp/loki_flash recovery /data/local/tmp/cwm.lok
[+] Loki validation passed, flashing image.
2253+1 records in
2253+1 records out
9230848 bytes transferred in 0.656 secs (14071414 bytes/sec)
[+] Loki flashing complete!

Looks easy. Either some one does it for me or provide the aboot.img so that I can do it

For some reason, loading exfat modules from ramdisk doesn't work on some 64Gb sdcards in exfat while it works on others
Only fix for this is reverting to use exfat modules from /system/lib which also has its disadvantages under some circumstances

It could be I revert to that solution which will suite most people

I love this recovery on my nexus 7 and gnex. I imagine in the future one will be able to download OTAs or ROMS straight from recovery! (and play music)

exfat debug
WARNING: backup your external exfat storage before testing

Please, for people having exfat issues:
download http://d-h.st/k51

While in recovery
Code:
adb push mount.exfat-fuse /sbin
adb shell
chmod 0775 /sbin/mount.exfat-fuse
/sbin/mount.exfat-fuse -o big_writes,max_read=131072,max_write=131072 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /external_sd

This should mount external storage exfat
Test backup and restore speed if ok

If it is stable, I will embed in next update

    Here you go Phil http://d-h.st/17Z

    Here is the 5.18.2 patched version, thanks philz, all I did was replace the recovery.img as stated in your post SellswordShev........ https://www.dropbox.com/s/31lieedcnby94gk/philz touch new.zip

    I did it in the simplest way possible.

    1. I unzipped a philz recovery that I knew was loki'd and worked on my Verizon GS4.
    2. I replaced the recovery file with the philz 6.18.7 recovery file from its unloki'd zip file
    3. I then zipped the resulting set of files

    And Voila a working loki'd recovery.

    Or to state it more simply.take any loki'd phliz recovery zip file and replace the actual recovery file in that zip with the one you want to use from an unloki'd zip..

    Yes, thank you, next update will include a dedicated jflte-loki installer for you

    Sorry for the trouble
