Well sadly my time has come, and I'm due a new phone



Cos my bleeding digitiser broke and screen ain't working on my s4 anymore.

So I get a new phone through tomorrow, another s4!

Hence my question.... I'm going to assume immediately the new one will be Knox enabled, all my current backups are non Knox, will this cause an issue when I go to use a current backup?

 

In order.... ☺

Syd, nup ain't getting rid of me that easy, though given I'll be using a new s4, think I'll not upgrade for quite a while, which I had been thinking before I broke the digitiser!

Dyno.... Hi it's been too quite here for a while now, especially since rusty buggered off

And finally, hawker.... I do indeed mean nandroid, and rooting it was naturally going to be the first thing I did to the phone so knew id be tripping the counter so you have just answered my question perfectly :-D thank you mate

Shall see what time it arrives tomorrow, knowing my luck, it'll be after I head out to work but at least I'll have a phone again

 

:-( just checked and I seems my parcel will arrive between 2.45 and 3.45, that gives me a small window for possible rooting as I usually head out between 3.15 and 3.30 :-(

 

Harrumph, phone arrived in time for me heading to work

Immediately rooted and flashed a copy of philz i had on my laptop then tried to flash a nandroid I had made on 30th September, sadly it isn't working, I've tried a couple of versions of Philz that I have on my SD card too, non of which are working :-(

I kinda broke a cardinal rule and never made a backup of the stock firmware and I attempted a full wipe before flashing first nandroid, which failed.... Squeaky bum time!

Fortunately I still had a couple of copies of other roms downloaded onto my SD card and proceeded to flash the latest Dan ge ROM (unless it's been updated?) For which I do have a working s4 again with mint screen

Have all apps backed up and stored on my laptop so can get them when I'm back home in the mean time, I'm going to have to try and figure out what version of philz I made my nandroids with! :-(

 

OK then, I've tried several possible versions of philz and not one is working, keeps coming up as saying I have something wrong with the md5 sum and so they fail at verification stage.

Any ideas anyone?

 

Cheers guys, just that I had it all set up the way I wanted it/liked it hence trying to use my old nandroids. Non of them have been renamed, all had been restored at some point or another.

I might just delete them all and go ahead starting again :-(

Cheers again for your help though guys

 

Oh and I decided to give the file rename/recreate option a go, didn't work :-( will have a play with some ROMs tonight, currently on slimkat, few minor annoyances but I'll see what else is available now I have the Knox bootloader. Lol

You don't suppose there is something causing the issue with the change over? There are other words mentioned as well as md5 verification fail, I'll need to check again later tonight.

 

So new question regarding my new phone.... I cannot for the life of me get my mhl cable to work properly with it, I say properly, I can't get it working at all. I could understand if things were different to my old phone but I had Dan's ge ROM on before working fine, now on new phone same rom it isn't doing anything unless the cable suddenly stopped working the minute I swapped phones? Anything you guys think I can do?
