[General] Lollipop Information Thread S4

General Lollipop Information Thread

Since many users asking the same questions over and over again i'm going to start with many "basics" answers for you

Why? because you guys won't use the search button :silly:



Can i revert back to kitkat safely?

Yes And No, If you have upgraded the bootloader.

If you have upgraded with Bootloader you might have some IMEI issues, And afaik there is none that has fixed this. Thus who hasn't updated the booloader can still revert back.



I got no baseband or WIFI

Make sure that you always read the OP and if OP hasn't stated it, you need to update your modem and NON-HLOS.bin

Make sure to uncheck auto reboot before flashing!



Battery life is terrible

Yeah ofc you haven't had the rom for more than x days so it hasn't been fully set.



Can i use CF-Auto Root

NO! People who used this also flashed update-su in recovery, however flashing CF-Auto root isn't needed and it will not work due to old binaries.



How can i root?

Why does X And Y FC

because you didn't provide logcat.



Why does it takes 2x minutes for it to boot first time?

because samsung made some changes which i can't tell, i've never seen such a slow upgrading screen on lollipop neither on stock versions.
