Can you provide step by step instructions? I am on TWRP and would like to retain root?
Thank you.

Same result, flashfire no worky. TWRP post-flash reboots around the 15 second mark after it gets to the setup wizard. Is there a log I can look at or send you? What else to help troubleshoot? I've wiped 6-8 times before flashing..Try opening your supersu app and check "enable su upon boot." Let me know if that works. Thx.
You may be able to pull a last_kmsg via adb.Same result, flashfire no worky. TWRP post-flash reboots around the 15 second mark after it gets to the setup wizard. Is there a log I can look at or send you? What else to help troubleshoot? I've wiped 6-8 times before flashing..
Delete backups you don't want while in android, then go back to try the backup in TWRP. You may need to install TWRP again, if things still don't work.I have tried to back this up to my SD card using TWRP 2840 and it runs through the process but when I reboot there is no file on the card. All my old backups of CM 12.1 are there but not this one. Are my settings off somehow? Anyone have this issue? I also cannot delete old backups. It shows them deleted, but on restart they show up again.
It's easy.Can you provide step by step instructions? I am on TWRP and would like to retain root?
Thank you.
All had been tried as you describe. Been doing this for years. Never had files that would not delete in either android or twrpDelete backups you don't want while in android, then go back to try the backup in TWRP. You may need to install TWRP again, if things still don't work.
It's easy.
Download ROM.
If you usually back up texts, call logs, etc., before flashing, do that.
Boot into TWRP.
Factory reset in TWRP
Install ROM
Reboot
Tah-dah. You will retain root.
You can try other kernels if you want to. It comes with Hybridmax, and a link to the stock kernel is in the OP.

Likely a kernel issue. Try surge's kernel from the OP.Flashed as soon as I could. On Verizon GS4 Dev edition, MDK. Really like it a lot. 1st day battery was draining pretty fast and I almost wiped.. But decided to give it some time and now getting much better. My only issue is the volume when using earbuds and listening to Audible Books. Haven't tested earbuds with a conversation but conversation without earbuds is fine. Any suggestions? Maybe a setting I don't know about?
Yes, it's stock TW ROM, rooted. Also includes the modem.Thank you.
Just want to confirm, this is TW stock ROM, correct?
I am on ROM BoneStock4.3 and baseband is I545VRUAME7. Do you see any issue if I install this ROM? Sorry if I am asking dumb questions.
Thanks - you didn't say you had tried in both recovery and in Android. That's even more curious.All had been tried as you describe. Been doing this for years. Never had files that would not delete in either android or twrp
Recommend the Samsung one on Amazon. Zero issues with it on two S4s.Thanks to all who responded to my file backup issue. My SD card won't write. Fortunately I was able to copy everything off it. Time for a new one.
I flashed the Stock Rom to correct volume level in my earbuds and it fixed that.. volume was great, but I had the same issue where WIFI would not work. So right now, dealing with Low volume vs. no wifi.Yes, it's stock TW ROM, rooted. Also includes the modem.
Wipe (factory reset) before installing.

Have you pulled the SD card to connect to computer and try to delete the files there?
I haven't seen this before, but wondering if the files you can't delete have been marked read-only somehow. Have you checked their permissions?

Interesting....
Just tried flashing the stock kernel, and booted fine, but no Wi-Fi. Rebooted, and the same. Just would not turn on - tried to turn it on in Settings but the on/off switch would not stay on. Never seen that before.
So tried flashing the AEL i9505 kernel and loki-doki and got the Verizon warning about non-legit SW on the device, in spite of the loki-doki, no boot.
Flashed back to hybrid max kernel w/loki-doki and things are OK again.
Anyone else tried the stock kernel in the OP, or other TW kernels w/success? This is MUCH more twitchy than things were on KitKat - I could flash pretty much any 9505 kernel, loki it, and go. Now on Lollipop, kernel changes don't seem to be as flexible. Anyone know why?
Yes, flash away, it's fine.Does it have the right modem for mdk now? Have been trying to follow this thread but am not sure what is included in the latest rom in the OP.

Back in the day when I was doing this stuff way in excess, I knew how to futz with files in System to troubleshoot Wi-Fi problems. But it's been too long and I'm no longer you to speed.Yeah I'm currently having the same issue with the low volume while using headphones. So what's my best option? Wait for more kernel tests and see which one fixes both WiFi and sound?
