Once again, I am convinced that it is better to choose one of the most popular smartphones around which the developer community will be. Ideally, it is better to choose a smartphone on Android only if he immediately goes with Android 8 Oreo (and not with previous versionUpdated to Android 8 Oreo) and meets the requirements of Project Treble. Such smartphones must be loaded at Pure AOSP (Android Open Source Project), so alternative firmware They are designed much faster. Plus Project Treble helps that manufacturers of smartphones can separate their own addition to android, which favorably affects the frequency of firmware updates as a whole (though, without a smartphone manufacturer, official firmware can not get anyway).

Install Heimdall. Some Samsung devices use the Download Mode loading method, which is very similar to the "FastBoot Mode" for devices with a unlocked loader. HEIMDALL (Windows, Linux, MacOS) is a tool for interacting with Samsung devices in "Download". The preferred method of installing an alternative recovery environment (Custom Recovery) - through the boot mode when it does not require the availability of root access.

Wait until the operation is completed. In case of success, you will see the following text in the terminal:

Click "SELECT LANGUAGE", select "Russian" and click "OK".

After loading TWRP offers to leave system section. Because Return to the old official firmware does not interest me, and their updates are not foreseen, then I certainly did not leave the system partition by selecting "Svile - Allow Changes."

Commands can be sent both when the phone is enabled and in Recovery mode. Root access to the smartphone to use ADB is not required.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 MINI firmware video

And other flagships samsung. It was released quite quickly - in early 2015. I do not get tired of repeating that this is one of the advantages of buying a smartphone from the famous major producer, and not "exactly the same unknown Chinese, but two times cheaper." Especially consider the relevance of Galaxy S4 is the 2013 telephone! SAMSUNG intends even Galaxy Note. II to Android 5.0 update! This is already quite "in any gate" - call at least one "Chinese", which is supported in 2.5 years after the release?

In short, the Android 5.0 firmware on my favorite Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 (and even in the Black Edition version!) Fixed not the most promptly - for the exynos version of the GT-i9500, it came out earlier. And then it had to sew himself. But everything went fast and without unnecessary difficulties. Now I share exactly how.

Here is a short Android 5.0 firmware instruction on Galaxy S4:

and make sure that the smartphone is fairly charge;
enter your smartphone to the download mode mode (at the same time healing the "Off" key + "volume down" + "Home button"), then press "Volume Up";
connect to the device uSB cable;
in the ODIN application on your computer, select files from the archive with the firmware:
- for the PIT graph, with the * .pit extension;
- for a PDA - a file, in the title of which there is a word Code, if there is no, then you know - this is the hardest file in the archive;
- for CSC - a file, in the title of which there is a word CSC;
- for Phone - a file containing in the name Modem;
- Note. If the files for the CSC graph, Phone and Pit are missing in the archive with the firmware, then sew solely by the method of one file, i.e. Indicate the location of the firmware in the PDA column, and leave the remaining lines empty.
make sure that the Odin features ticks in the "Auto Reboot" and "F. RESET TIME. " If the location of the * .pit file was indicated, the "Re-Partition" checkbox will be automatically set;
press the "Start" button and monitor the firmware process. The phone can reboot several times during installation and in no case should not be disconnected from it the cable until "ALL Threads Completed" appears in the ODIN log or the green news window will not light up with the inscription "PASS!".

The firmware update process traditionally lasts a few minutes (from 5 to 15) and, if successful, you will be asked to configure the smartphone according to your preferences. After that, you can proceed to work. If you have a question, then immediately go to the second section of this entry - everything is described there.

Changes in Android 5.0 on Galaxy S4 not so much because they are hidden by the Touchwiz sheath. She was not just launched on new system, they also recycle. But in general, she offers exactly the same interface that before, hiding some innovations of the fifth version of the "robot". In the case of Galaxy S4, the SAMSUNG shell is a mixture of "naked" Android 5.0.1, style and initial option from Touchwiz on S4. Something like this.

On the lock screen, all notifications are now displayed - this feature from clear Android 5 moved almost unchanged. It was added the possibility of starting the camera even on a blocked pattern or password smartphone.

List recent applications In the form of tabs, it was uncomfortable from the system itself, although the panel from the bottom with additional options is the obvious "non-stop" of samsung.

The notification panel is decorated in the style of the mentioned Galaxy S5. Moreover, changes partially overlap Android 5.0 innovations. Notifications are also displayed, but the possibility of "tightening" the toolbar is eliminated and the standard "Samsung" functionality is left.

Other changes are less significant. Much remained "under the hood" - we are detailed about it. Of course, the standard applications were redrawn.

The settings are also decorated differently, but no more. There is nothing fundamentally new here. Moreover, the division of tabs, which was relevant for Galaxy S4, was reserved, and in a year changed the grid from the icons.

Many are very complaining about glitches after installing Android 5.0 on Galaxy S4. On glitches, worse autonomy and brakes. From myself I can say that glitches have not yet noticed, but the light delays with the drawing interface are happening. Autonomy so far seems no worse. But in any case, if your smartphone works bad after the update, I recommend to reset everything to the factory settings. If it does not suit you, you can roll back Galaxy S4 on Android 4.4.

How to return Android 4.4 on Galaxy S4

Very simple. I specifically allocated it in the subsection to be noticeable. And so to roll back Galaxy S4 to Android 4.4 in the following way:

make step by step the same thing that was listed above for flashing on Android 5.0.

Yes, that's so elementary. There is no difference, you just need to specify another firmware file in Odin. If still questions will be - ask in the comments! And in general, leave your reviews about Android 5.0 for Galaxy S4!
