injijagwalaafq Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 The device was getting very hot, running slowly, & the battery life is horrible. Thus I wanted to fix it. 1. I can't seem to access am GS 4's boot loader for the life of me. I have tried volume down + power + home & volume down + power + home. Neither button combo does anything. My phone just boots normal after releasing the buttons. Is there a trick? This is child's play on Nexus devices. I wanted to wipe the cache partition. ** The phones's security policy disallows that from within the OS :( (fork you Samsung!) I wound up doing an FDR instead. ** The partition wipe is one of the standard troubleshooting steps we where taught during agent training at google. 2. I am looking for a less bloated rom for this thing. T-mobile's stock OS has too many annoyances and blot. I would like the Google play edition rom but I can't find ANY variants of it anywhere. I know where to get the Nexus roms but not GPE. Another thing: The phone went through the wash. Probably why the unit is having all there problems.
