Hello guys
I have an HTC One Mini 601E, and today I've try to install Android Kitkat 4.4.2 via CyanogenMod ( by following the procedure on ibtimes, update-htc-one-mini-android-4-4-2-kitkat-via-cyanogenmod-11-rom-1433685 [sorry it seams I cannot post any link as new member...]) so I rooted the phone, installed SuperSU and installed a recovery mod and everything necessary but after trying to install the zip "Android 4.4.2 KitKat Cyanogenmod 11 ROM" few time and with first ClockworkMod and then also TWRP recovery tools I still get the same error : set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed" (Status 7). (even using recovery base Phil..)
I've try few things to try to solve it lbut still get the same error. So I'm wondering why and how I could resolve this. I'm thinking also that this phone is 601E and not 601S. I mean, this phone come from Taiwan, my girlfriend bought it for me but I'm in Australia actally. I know there is just a little difference about the baseband between these two model (601E and 601S). So I was wondering that maybe I need a different version of the Android 4.4.2 KitKat for my phone that come from Taiwan ? I don't know.. but actually I cannot do anything with my phone, when I turn it on I can see the logo HTC and then it reboot again. I can only access the fastboot menu and the recovery mod.
So my questions are :
- How could I successfully install this Android 4.4.2 KitKat Cyanogenmod 11 ROM on my phone ?
- And if it is just not possible or just not working, how can I come back to the previous Android OS that was installed before (Jelly bean) ?
I think to understand that I need a RUU m4 for my phone, I've found some on the website androidruu.com in the M4 RUU category) but I'm not sure if it is the right RUU file for my phone version.
I hope my phone is not broken and hope also to find some help here also sorry for my english is not perfect I hope it is enough clear
Thank you very much for any help.

I successfully installed another mod but based on Android 4.3, not 4.4 Kitkat.So it's ok
But if somebody know or have an idea about how I could install Android 4.4, I still interesting
Thank you

Hi guys.I am new to forum so i didn't know where to open this thread.Also i have checked internet for a solution but never seen a dumb thing like this before in my life.So even google search engine couldn't help me about that.
One of my friend has purchased a device from dubai.it is an original device of i9505 with snapdragon 600 processor.I am personally using an i9500 octa version btw.my friend told me to check his device after he had problems with gsm service+wifi for 3g doesn't connect(or connect and drops fast) so i went to check his device.i have used some system info tools and benchmark softwares to identify the device is ok.but NO IT WAS NOT OK.all of the system info tools says that the device is i9500 but it has snapdragon processor.some idiot somehow managed to write i9500 rom to i9505 and it is working with problems.i have checked camera both ok frontal and rear.and other device properties working good as well.i should expect that it should even fail to boot but somehow working with great deal of no phone service+3g problem(phone service sometimes work i really don't know how it works or how it fails).
So i decided to make things right.Which is put the right original galaxy s4 i9505 rom to that device.i have checked sammobile and found germany version of kitkat.
general info : device is rooted.it says it has Wanamlite rom 4.2.2.
My Try list:
1)downloaded odin 3.09 and followed the instructions.(used the official rom given from sammobile.)and put the mobile to download mode(i couldn't do it with volume down+home+power button cos it is not working)but i thought i was lucky cos that custom rom had an option when i push the power button/restart/ it says there is a download menu so i choose that to put the device to download mod.after that i was hoping odin will do the job.but it FAILED DUE TO WRITE PROTECTION ENABLED on device.
2)i tried to setup cwm recovery to device(which i figured out later it was already on device but i didn't know it was there).downloaded rom manager from playstore.and i thought it would work.rom managers says i had 2 recovery programs or rom managers on the phone 1 is cwm and other is teamwin recovery.also rom manager asks me to update or upgrade cwm but it does't recognise the device cos it is i9505 with i9500 rom and rom manager couldn't identify the device as it should be.so cwm update doesn't work.also i couldn't get to the user interface of cwm which is already on the device no matter what i do.also i know old version of cwm will not make it happen for what i need to do if i was able to get in the user interface as well.i think teamwin is blocking cwm.
so on rom manager i decided to use the team win cos there is no other option for me there which puts the phone after a restart to recovery mod,the user interface works ok there but teamwin also FAILED TO WRITE THE ROM(i think it is an old version too)i couldn't say the exact version of cwm cos the device is not with me and i forget the version but team win i asked to my friend just yet and he said TWRP 2.6.00 is on it.
3)CWM i can't even get to user interface,i really don't know how to with team win there.So yeah i couldn't even give a try.
4)I am stuck.and i don't know what to do.
general user profile about me: i have a general understanding of computers,but i haven't written any rom to galaxy s4 before yet i found myself in a situation i can't handle.someone screwed up an i9505 with a i9500 rom.
ANY HELP FROM ANYONE will be very appriciated.
i have managed to upgrade tw recovery with flashify to final version but in odin still write protection is enabled in the download mod.so odin again failed.btw after upgrading tw with flashify i lost my ability to get into operating system.i just have tw recovery on the screen atm.
the rom file i tried is this one I9505XXUFNB8_I9505VFGFNB3_I9505XXUFNB8_HOME.tar.md5 which i have downloaded from sammobile.
I9505XXUFNB8_I9505VFGFNB3_VOD.zip vodafone version it says for uk.
now i have a screen of tw recovery when the device opens.strange thing is i have 2 versions of tw recovery installed at the same time.when i press volume up+home+power tw version 2.6.00 loads.
or when i open the device with only power button tw recovery 2.7 loads.no operating system yet.
i tried I9505XXUFNB8_I9505VFGFNB3_VOD.zip with tw. it gave me an error of md5 not found and failed.
what now?
anybody around there to help?
another note : i don't know if it is important or not but it says the product name is sghi337.checked google it says at-t network.is this a useful information or what to identify the problem?
all i want is any rom to make the device work again with fully functioning.
after having twrp 2.7 i tried some roms had md5 error,so after a search i wanted to try wanamlite rom wanamlite-xxufnbe-v2-4-android-kitkat-4-4-2-xposed.after installing wanamlite rom it has asked me to reboot.so i did reboot it.it had adam kernel 2.1 version.
i was expecting the device will reboot but thanks to at&t for making odin useless + making twrp useless as well.it had a message on the screen and it was written ''samsung custom'' with a locker logo open.i thought i have to wait for the first boot and be patient and after waiting about half an hour still nothing.(on the left up of the screen written red : kernel)i checked more than maybe hundreds of threads to find an answer about at&t sghi337 galaxy s4 and some ppl say i have to change the kernel.and some say i have to change it to at&t kernel i searched again for an at&t kernel i found a file name KT-SGS4-TW-JB-ATT-06-06-2013.zip.then i gave a try to that.but suddenly i realized i have lost the ability of booting to twrp 2.7.all i have left with is twrp 2.6.00 when i press volume up+home.still lucky to have it.i used that kernel reboot and got a message on the screen ''system software not authorized by at&t''.then i started searching again ppl say about loki doki.downloaded the file and flashed it on at&t kernel this time it showed samsung logo appeared and the boot sound which you know all of us familiar with and samsung led was blue.the led was like it is a pounding heart coming on and off.this should be the first load of the rom i thought again and waited and got no result.it didn't load again.failed failed and failed many times.
i also tried this file named MDOB-KERNEL2STOCK-LIB.zip.flashed it no result again.failed.this result was another strange thing.it was showing samsung custom logo boot it with sound and then turn the device off after 10 seconds.and repeats the process.reboots sounds and reboots again and again.
questions :
1) do i have a bootloader locked device?since i can't use odin to flash anything.(odin version 3.09) and if i have what can i do to fix it?
2)since i only have twrp 2.6.00 how can i upgrade it to 2.7 back with twrp.i mean twrp update using twrp.
3)with twrp 2.6.00 i used wanamlite rom kitkat version.and it says it has flashed it.but can it flash roms succesfully enough like 4.4.2?if it says it flashed everything is ok? or it misses some important features to make the rom work.what is the maximum capability of twrp 2.6.00.Do i have to try roms like 4.2.2?
4)about kernels with at&t i337 galaxy s4 what can i do?what should be the reason preventing the rom load successfully?if i have access to twrp does it mean i don't have to mess with bootloader cos i have already passed that step and got an interface for loading roms?i mean everything is ok with bootloader if i have twrp installed user interface? and after flashing a rom do i have to use the specific kernel coming with the rom or can i use any kernel for the device like stock kernels(doen't allow me to load) with loki doki or some kernels with loki doki?
i am so helpless,please enlighten me with your knowledge.any moderators or any developers can answer me?or help me?
stuck in the middle of nowhere.please help.
Getting some progress at the end!!!
Since twrp 2.6.00 is the only option i have,or i can say ''was the only option i had'' i knew i had to get an android user interface for upgrading my recovery.after a bit more search i found slimroms for android version 4.2.2 just to make the device run,and it is already loki patched.so yeah that rom flashed as lightspeed and loaded extremely fast!that worked!!! i have downloaded aptoide market since it was lacking google apps.and downloaded flashify to upgrade the version of twrp to 2.7.01.from now on i believe i can find my way to whichever kitkat rom that is loki patched would work with this recovery support.
THANKS TO SLIMROMS for making downloadable and flashable small sized roms and tnx for the guy whoever found the loki way to make it possible.Also great thanks to TWRP team!!!
PLEASE NOTE THAT : Why did i write this after no reply or no help or no messages to this thread?Because i have figured out my way reading,trying and hard pushing after failing a lot but i found my way with xda developers threads out there even no one ever replied for help.I mean thanks anyway :cyclops:
When in doubt, flash to stock ROM and proceed from there.
you mean to tell me u cant enter download mode? ask someone to press the 3 buttons together to enter it and flash the firmware specified for that S4.
Hi,
I recently downloaded CWM 6.0.5.0 for my SM-G3858 running Jelly Bean. The thing is that when I flashed it I got a triangle (so it doesn´t work), then after a couple of seconds android´s stock recovery boots up. So no brick, but I wonder why CWM reco does not boot up for me. It works for another user but this user has an older samsung firmware installed. So I thought that the issue could be that I have a newer Samsung Firmware, as this CWM build was compiled from an older Samsung firmware source. But as far as I know a CWM build should work even tho the firmware has slightly changed (newer fw is still 4.2.2 Jelly Bean tho). So what could be the issue? Any ideas?

Good morning guys, sorry about the english. So, a while back I installed the 12.1 cm in my GT I9515L (Galaxy S4 VE), the rom was running normally, but i had some problems in some applications that were not compatible with the version BOJ1 (Lollipop). I performed the downgrade of the same for AJN1 (KitKat) to reinstall the CyanogenMod above, the problem is that whenever I go into recovery mode, time to flash the GAPPS, one error appears saying that the version isn't compatible. I performed the test of reset the machine without installing any version of gapps, and the cell was automatically updated to version Lollipop. I would like to ask for your help because I am unable to keep KitKat version in Cyano. I think that it's a litte mine mistake on wipes or in version of cyano, but I googled a lot and found nothing. Thank you guys.
Hello I am looking for and have been trying to get one of the momentarily available version of the marshmallow running on my Edge. So far without any success.
I am now running a 5.01 version with custom rom. I applied the new bootloader from mickey387 in order to install roms, mack backups etc. Then I tried to get a newer Rom like the following running, so far without success:
Galaxy-NoTEdge-1.0BETA2
N915F-DPC7Binh24_Deodex
DBT-N915FYXXU1DPE1-20160524112616
The problem is that when trying to apply for example the DBT version, the recovery stopps and is not going to install it. The NotEdge could be installed but resulted in a bootloop. The DPC7 version i currently downloading, so I could not really test it.
What could be the problem ? Do I have to downgrade first to another "Stockrom" or do I need to upgrade to another newer version abbove 5.01 and after that to the version 6 ?
I f so could anyone help me or point me in the right directions ? Here are the programms and tools I already have on my computer:
BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247
Odin3_v3.11.1
twrp_3.0-915F-915FY-915G-915V.tar
twrp_3.0-915F_FY_G.zip
Kernel6.0.1.tar
Sboot.6.0.1.tar
N915F-DPC7Binh24_Deodex.zip
DBT-N915FYXXU1DPE1-20160524112616.zip
Galaxy-NoTEdge-1.0BETA2.zip
With the Deodex Rom the following occurs:
with the deodex after flashing boot runs only into recovery mode, no restart to phone menu.
I have been running Cryogenmod 12.1 for my Samsung SM-A300FU but its UNOFFICIAL and a preview the webpage i got it off says 'Wifi and Camera NOT WORKING'. I guess thats what i get for following my mates advice.
Because of this, i looked at CM13 (Android 6) which i got off the XDA site and i have made sure it is for my phone and model, the SM-A300FU. Of course, being my luck it didnt work. I get the error of 'Executing updater binary in zip' and i have wiped my phone then tried to install it and i have also tried to completly remove all OS and files then install it which apparently fixed it for people, but not me of course. In a desperate measure i even bluetoothed the ROM to another phone then back into my SM-A300FU to get it onto the internal storage but that obviously didnt change anything.
Finally, i gave up and tried to downgrade back to Android 5.0.2 although this isnt a CM zip. Once again, this ROM doesnt work. It just gives me an error saying it failed, no reason in particular.
I have a few issues for a whole range of files. Any help in fixing any or all of these would be much appreciated.
Links to the files I sites i downloaded the files from:
CM 12.1 UNOFFICIAL (Not meant to work fully) - https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-samsung-galaxy-a3-t3273323
CM 13 (Doesnt install) - https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-unofficial-samsung-t3326297

So to reitterate: I installed the CM 12.1 ROM without issues but it turns out to be a mod that doesnt work fully meaning its unsuitable for me. I downloaded CM 13 but this gets an error. I downloaded a Android 5.0.2 ROM which has an error it doesnt even tell me about.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Which recovery are you using ? Have you tried to update to the latest ? Also if that doesn't work try using odin to go back to latest stock then reflashing custom recovery
