[ROM][I9505][XXUHOF2][18Jul] Omega v42.1●►Omega Files◄●Fully Modded●►

[rakrul]

I can't get Omega Rom installed again. I had Omega installed earlier, decided to try CyanogenMod, didn't like it, installed stock Android 5.x.x., didn't like it either and wanted to go back to Omega but it only boots up and after 5-10 seconds the screen goes black, it vibrates and boots into recovery. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this, so any help would be useful.

Samsung 9505 S4 International version
Tested both TWRP 3.0.0-0 and TWRP 3.0.2-0
I've installed the I9505_Bootloader_Modems_XXUHOB8 with Odin 3.10 and 3.11
I've tried 3 different USB cables
I've tried other recovery programs
I can install stock android fine (it's really some hack made by some guy since it doesn't work off the shelf with S4)
I'm using the I9505_Omega_v42.1_XXUHOF2 file, stored on a 4 GB external SD card which I used previously the first time I installed Omega
It's the same version I used when I first installed Omega

Any ideas why I'm failing at this? I should mention that the device is not rooted at this point, but that shouldn't matter for the TWRP install, right?

Edit: When rebooting in TWRP it asks if I want to install SU root to root it, and I always do but it's never installed. This goes for both stock Android and Omega.

Try again to flash CF-Root (find your device) HERE via Odin,and when you go into TWRP recovery ignore "want to install SU root to root it," message.... ,

Sorry for the stupid question but if I install CFRoot, won't that overwrite TWRP? Atleast when I install CFRoot with Odin (using the AP button), I can't find TWRP again. And now I always boot in to the CFRoot menu.

Edit: nevermind, 3rd time is the charm apparently...
Edit2: Ok so I got CFRoot in, it did its thing and rebooted into CFRoot recovery mode. I rebooted into download mode and installed TWRP 3.0.2-0 again and installed the bootloader again just to be safe. Booted into TWRP recovery mode and installed Omega from there but again it reboots into recovery mode after 5-10 seconds.

Yeah. That was the second time I installed CFRoot the last few days and it just booted directly in to the menu without doing the SU root magic. Same thing happened now but on the 3rd Odin write, it worked. But it still rebooted into CFRoot menu after it was done so I installed TWRP again. Will that overwrite the SU root privileges I just got? If yes, how am I supposed to escape the CFRoot menu?

Another thing I've noticed. If I have installed Omega, which crashes and boots into recovery, if I install stock Android and boot - stock Android just hangs during bootup. To get it working properly, I have to re-write the I9505_Bootloader_Modems_XXUHOB8 with Odin. Then stock Android boots up. When I was in stock Android I could verify that the device was rooted. I then tried installing Omega again. Same behavior. So I wrote the bootloader file again. Still the same behavior.

Also I've redownloaded the Omega files before this, just to be certain that there isn't anything wrong with the files themselves.

I can't for the life me understand why Omega isn't working on my phone anymore...

Edit2: Sorry for the monologue but I've noticed that when I install Omega, at the end it says;
*****
Symlinking
*****
Some symlinks failed

I'm not sure if it's supposed to list what is has symlinked - if so, it didn't manage one. Could this be the root to my problems? If so, how do I fix it?

Maybe it's a bad download...

Well I used the same file as I used the first time and like I said, I redownloaded just to eliminate that. I've also tried with 2 different PCs and 2 different (micro) SD cards so I'm just giving up and trying Marshmellow instead. Thanks for trying though.

 

[timz1313]

Thanks! f2fs support would be appreciated. At least I took the plunge when updating 41 to 42 since the provided kernel supported that.

Awesome job dude keep up the good work

I haven't had that problem with any ROM and never heard of any one else having it. It has hardly anything to do with the ROMs.

I had forgotten that Omega ROM actually has this problem with a couple of pre-installed apps, what you need to do is to uninstall them and reinstall as non-system apps.

Do you use xposed? Some modules can screw up things. What recovery do you have? The only advice I can give you (if you haven't done it already) is to do a full wipe (including internal storage) before flashing the ROM. Make sure you have latest version of recovery (TWRP has always worked for me). Follow all instructions given by rom dev, let the phone rest for a few minutes after first boot, don't flash anything , don't install xposed, install apps from Play store, don't restore from backup. Shortly, be as careful as possible and see if the problem still is there.
