FAQ - Read before asking a question
For partly compiling the FAQ, thanks Mean122 !

Q: IMEI crashed after flashing the phone, what to do?
A: Recently, IMEI has flown with the firmware of the old version of the modem over a newer one. To return IMEI you need to return the modem that stood before the firmware or install the latest version. I also recommend readingthis

Q: Give the dictionary so that you can understand the "language of the flasher"
A: Below is a list of the most frequently used terms of the "flasher".
Terms broker
Backup(backup): backup necessary files before flashing.

Busybox(buzibox): is a set of console utilities for Linux systems. Essentially needed by programs that require root-rights for proper functioning.

Custom(custom): modification, change (custom firmware, custom recovery).

CWM(ClockworkMod recovery): custom recovery. Used for flashing custom firmware, formatting, backup.

Deodex(deodex): system files .apk along with themselves have a “load” file with the same name and extension .odex. With their help, presumably you can save some space. Deodexing means that you convert this .odex to .dex (the same file stored inside .apk) and put it back into .apk. This allows us to freely replace system applications without worrying about cokexes, but the main cause of deodexing was to do such an operation with the services.jar file, thanks to which you can change the colors of all texts (for example, the color of the clock from white to black, etc.) , and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex all system .apk-shki. The craftsmen removed the .ODEX files from the firmware, writing the information contained in them into the APK files, thereby reducing the size of the firmware and most importantly - now the APK files themselves can be changed as you like, this does not affect the system’s work in a fatal way. This is called deodexing.
This is good - in the deodexed firmware, you can easily open the APK file with the archiver, change the resources in it (pictures, etc.) and return the changed file to a place in the firmware.

Downgrade(downgrade, rollback): lowering the firmware, that is, rolling back from a newer version to an older one.

Full wipe(formatting, full wipe): made from custom recovery: mounts and storage ->format / cache, / system, / data, / preload, / sdcard; advanced ->wipe dalvik cache, wipe battery status. This will clear the cache, the contents of the internal memory, battery statistics, the system will be deleted.

Nandroid backup: full system backup with the ability to recover from any state. How to do it: go to custom recovery ->backup and restore ->backup (backup will be saved to internal memory) or backup to external sdcard (backup will be saved to a memory card). To restore from backup, select restore.

Recovery(recovery): boot mode (similar to BIOS on BB). How to enter: turn off the phone, hold the volume button up + the home button + the power button. After the Galaxy s IV logo, you must get into the recovery. From the recovery, only custom firmwares are flashed (in * .zip format)

Root(root): administrator account. What is it for:
- Full control over your system
- Allows you to change system files
- Run special applications that require more control over the system
- System backup
- Allows you to move the cache (browser / maps / Market'a / games) to the SD card.
- When you rotate the device, you lose the warranty!

Q: Can I flash other versions of the Galaxy S4 from the i9500?
A:ABSOLUTELY NOT. The fact is that only the i9500 version runs on the Exynos processor; the other versions run on Snapdragon processors. Firmware can kill the phone. Therefore, check the exact marking on your phone and look for the branch corresponding to it.
List of markings.
To install the firmware from this branch:
I9500
NOTInstalling firmware from this branch:
SHV-E300K / L / S(Operator version for Korea)
GT-I9505(LTE version of the device)
SGH-I337(AT & T)
SGH-M919(T-Mobile)

SCH-R970(US Cellular)
GT-I9508(China Mobile)
SCH-I959(China Telecom)
GT-I9502(China Unicom)
SGH-N045(NTT Docomo)


Q: I have never flashed android phones before, what should I do?
A: The firmware of the phone procedure is not very complicated, but it requires direct hands, attentiveness and a bit of free time. First of all, it is better to study the topic header, FAQ and all sorts of instructions. After you understand most of the process, you can begin to flash. Find about two hours of free time and step-by-step following the instructions, start to flash. Good luck.

Q: I have a phone with 32/64 GB of internal memory, can I flash firmware for phones with 16?
A: The amount of internal memory does not affect the firmware process, the main thing is to make sure that you havei9500 and not other modifications of this phone.

Q: What are custom firmware and what are they for?
A: Custom firmware come in different types. But the main difference from stock is that you yourself decide what to be in the firmware and what can be removed / blocked. Below I will describe the options for firmware.
Custom firmware options

1. CyanogenMod firmware (or CM for short)
CyanogenMod is pure Android without adding chips from the manufacturer, a huge team of people are working on creating the basis of these firmware. According to statistics all over the world, more than 4.8 million phones cost exactly CM firmware. CM firmware is usually focused on reliability and performance. You can read moreHERE. Video review.

2. Firmware based on stock.
The point of creating such firmware in increasing the performance of phones while retaining all the manufacturer's chips. And again, you get the opportunity to choose which software from the manufacturer to keep and which to remove. As a rule, only such firmware appears in the first months after the phone enters the market.

3. MIUI firmware.
MIUI is a highly modified android, sometimes reminiscent of iOS. Most of the MIUI firmware is based on CyanogenMod and is released almost immediately after the official release of it. The main task of MIUI is to simplify the management of the phone and at the same time add to the interface of beauty and the ability to change the appearance in the root. You can read moreHERE. Video review.

4. Android Open Kang Project (or AOKP)
AOKP firmware is very similar to CM, however, it is considered that AOKP has more settings that change the phone's interface and some functionality. The AOKP development team is much smaller than the CM, but it often happens that a group of like-minded people gather to support the popular AOKP device with the AOKP firmware.

5. Android Open Source Project (or AOSP)
By and large, AOSP is a bare android. The way it is released by Google, most often in such firmware minimal interface changes. Often, the creators of the firmware indicate in the name of their firmware "based on AOSP", that is, at the heart of the firmware is a naked Android.


Q: What to do after installing the firmware, the phone does not start / starts with an error / the declared functionality does not work / there are strong hangs / does the device get warm?
A: Do not rush to create a message on the forum, it is better to implement a couple of recommendations before that.
Recommendations for identifying the cause of the problem
Start with the first item and if it did not give you the answer go to the next one.
1. Use the search for similar problems with members of the forum.How to use search
2. Try to repeat the firmware process. (it is desirable to perform a "clean firmware")
3. Download the firmware from another resource and repeat the process of "clean firmware".
4. Create a message on the forum with a detailed description of the actions taken, the name and version of the firmware and a detailed description of the problem.


Q: When will the Cyanogen Mod firmware (MIUI and Paranoid and similar derivatives from CM) appear for our device (i9500)?
A: The guys from the CM team do not speak specific dates, but also do not deny work on the firmware for devices based on Exynos 5 Octa 5410 (i9500). At the moment we can only wait and hope for an early release of the alpha version marked i9500.

Q: I do not install USB drivers for the phone. Winwos 8 is installed on the PC and gives an error about unsigned certificates.
A: On Windows 8, installing a driver without a digital signature is a bit more complicated than on Win7.
Instructions for installing drivers on Win8 (need to raise in the header)
Instructions to disable driver signature verification in Windows 8 permanently. The main

Run the command line "cmd "(Win + R ->cmd)
Next, enter the command, a new line = enter (Enter key)

Permanently disable driver signature verification.
bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON

After that, it is advisable to restart the PC.

To return back (verification of the signature is included)
bcdedit -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF


Second option, spare.
Run the command line "cmd "(Win + R ->cmd)
shutdown.exe / r / o / f / t 00

After restarting your computer, proceed to the points below.

Diagnostics - Advanced Options - Download Options - F7


Q: What firmware is the most stable, holds the charge longer, heats up less?
A: It all depends on the manner of using the phone, no one will give you a specific answer to these questions. Look in the signatures of the forum long-livers, or try to test the firmware yourself for 2-3 days.

Q: What is the correct sequence of installing the firmware.
A: There are several options for firmware, more about them below.
How to install the firmware
Clean install
It implies a complete reset of all information in your phone.

1. Wipe Factory Reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache
5. Wipe system
6. Wipe Data
7. install .zip from SD ->installing firmware
Also, this procedure of points 1-3 can be replaced with only one firmwarefile. (Be careful, the script formats the user repository)

Or, if you have Recovery Philz installed, then select Wipe data / Factory Reset, then Clean to install a new rom and confirm our choice.

Firmware update / installation modifications.
When switching from one firmware to another without changing the version of Android (4.2 ->4.2) or installing individual firmware components (modifications) is enough to reset the cache files.

1. Wipe Cache
2. Wipe Dalvik Cache


Q: What is a custom kernel and what is it for?
A: There are only two types of cores, this is stock and custom, the differences below.
Stock and custom kernels
Stock core.
This is the core that has been optimized by the manufacturer for this device.
And blocked for intervention.

Custom kernel
Basically they use newer Linux.
And gives us some advantages over the stock core.
For example:
-Change processor frequency over a wide range;
- Overclocking graphics subsystem (GPU);
- Reducing the frequency and voltage of the processor, which allows for a longer battery life;
- More fresh and quality drivers,
-A wide possibilities for setting and configuring the sound and color of the screen;
-Support for alternative file systems.


Q: Which firmware components can be removed from the system and which ones are not? And what is it for?
A: There is a greatDIRECTORYon all Android components with a description and a deletion hazard table. You can search by Ctrl + F.

By the way, we have excellent (well, in any case, for 2 hours of use, I didn’t find any non-working programs or prog with artifacts - maybe I didn’t watch TW, I’m on Nova) the dpi changes from 480 to 320, at first it seems that it’s a bit small, but putting it in the larger font settings, we get more information in the screen, a more rational use of 5 inches.

Just in case we do BEKAP

2. swipe left open the Performance screen
3. Click the long button build.prop Editor

1. Is Slim Bean expected for S4 anytime soon?

I think not - as I understand it, it can not appear before CyanogenMod .... so we are waiting.

H. Poppuri, It is the 2nd version of the firmware, I can not open more than one video, it is impossible to write, I put it from scratch. UPD: After the usual wipe, everything worked

There was the same problem - I do not know why. Corrected differently:
1) restored the runoff from the backup - the problem remained
2) rebooted - there is no problem
3) installed poppuri - there is no problem

almost any caste (not even a masterpiece) from "strong romodels" is always better than stock

Instructions for installing custom firmware:


1. The first thing you need is to install root and custom recovery (recovery). You can find it in the subject: Samsung GT-I9500 Galaxy S IV - Official firmware (OS 4.2.2) Under the spoiler "instructions". Carefully follow the recommendations of the authors of posts to get root and install custom recovery. After installation, go to step 2

2. Copy the firmware for example: I9500_Omega_v4.0.zip in the phone's memory or on a memory card.

3. We go into the recovery mode, for this we turn off the phone. After full shutdown, we clamp simultaneously: volume key up-key menu-power key .

4. Before installing the firmware, you need to make a wipe wipe cashe partittion (located in the main recovery menu) and wipe dalvik cashe (located in the advanced menu). Data is not deleted.

5. Next, install the actual firmware. To do this, click in the recovery: instal zip from sdcard -> chose zip from sdcard or chose zip from external sdcard (Where sdcard is the internal memory of the phone, and external sdcard - this is a memory card), select I9500_Omega_v4.0.zip, then Yes- Instal I9500_Omega_v4.0.zip.

6. After the installation is completed, select reboot system now

- Carefully read the recommendations of the authors of the firmware, perhaps you may be required additional steps.
- Do not use the cleaning scripts from other devices in any case, otherwise you will not experience problems!

Empty archive for adding files to the / system and / data directory.
In other words, drop the file inside the archive and flash it into cwm, the rights are set automatically
Attached fileCWM_By_Sunrise23_IV.zip(126.04 KB)

Since since 4.3 the last archive does not plow as it should be, here is a new version.

What threatens frequent firmware and reckless games with a bootloader, recovery, etc.

You can sew a phone at least 10 times a day, which is what romodels respectively are doing when testing their firmware. Nothing will happen to your phone.
But when playing with CSC packages, the efs section may “fly” (the folder where the phone's IMEI is stored) and then your phone will not be able to register on the network and will be like an expensive screen brick.
In order to somehow protect yourself from losing IMEI, backup EFS and put it in a safe place (Computer, on the server, flash drive)
I also do not recommend installing modems, recovery,cores, bootloaders designed for other phones. If you install a recovery or modempossiblyIf you still manage to save your device, then after flashing the bootloader, they will help you only in the SC for a large amount. Warranty naturally on such cases does not apply.
Therefore, it is not necessary to store such things as a bootloader, kernel or recovery intended for different phones in one place, because it can be confused.

All about everything!
What:
  • Loader
  • Core
  • Types of firmware stock / custom
  • Programs and data save and restore in Android firmware
  • Delete user data and reset the firmware.
  • Primary getting root rights, extended CWM and counter of modified firmware.

We read here.

Decryption of commands in the recovery.


reebot system now (device reboot)
install zip from sdcard (install zip archive (firmware, patch, update)
choose zip from sdcard(selection of zip file (firmware, etc.) from the phone’s memory)
aply /sdcard/update.zip(installation of the file under the name update.zip from the phone’s memory (I have never been updated in this way before))
toogle signature verification(enable disabling archive signature verification) - to install any custom you need to disable this feature. That is, when you click on this item you should see Disabled at the bottom of the screen (usually disabled by default).
choose zip from external sdcard(selection of zip file (firmware, etc.) from a memory card)
wipe data / factory reset (reset phone to default settings (delete all settings you make, delete accounts and all user applications - as if you just installed custom firmware)
wipe cache partition (clearing the cache)
backup and restore (copy and restore firmware)
backup(copying the installed firmware to the phone memory)
restore(recovery of the firmware copy from the phone memory)
delete(deleting backups from phone memory)
advanced restore(rarely used partial restoration of parts of a previously saved firmware)
backup to external sdcard(copying the installed firmware to the memory card)
restore from external sdcard(recovering a copy of the firmware from the memory card)
advanced restore from external sdcard(partial restoration of a copy of the firmware from the memory card)
delete from external sdcard(delete all backups from the memory card)
mount and storage (mount and format partitions)
I will not describe much here and will only describe the main frequently used points:
format / cache(formatting cache section)
format / system(formatting the system folder - the firmware is completely removed (it is better to use before installing the new firmware))
format / data(formatting the data folder (it stores all your installed user applications (also desirable to use before installing the new firmware))
format / preload(formatting the preload folder (usually this folder is empty)) - apparently used to store temporary files
format / sdcard(formatting the phone memory (the part where you have music, downloads, photos, videos and everything else) - do not confuse with a memory card !!!
format / external sdcard(full formatting of your memory card)
advanced (additional recovery points)
reboot recovery(reboot recovery)
wipe dalvik cache(cleaning dalwick cache)
the remaining items describe it does not make sense because they are not used

Thank you all dearbraksi

How to transfer the cache to sd, what really works, and then the symlinks do not mount when loading ........ ???

Foldermount works perfectly a hundred times already written and discussed. Links even have toli in the thread about the firmware, whether in discussions. The program perfectly mounts everything itself when starting
