Ok, so if this was suppose to make the status bar stock (and I do not mean the drop down but just in general) it works until I hit the home button from the appdrawer back to blinkfeed. Then it goes back to transparent while I am in the launcher. Individual apps are fine.

It also removed my entire reboot menu, so when I hold down the power button it just does a hot reboot.

Can you just let me know what you modified in the SystemUI.apk and Prism.apk to make only the appdrawer transparent?
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] fallenangel408:
:confused: its not either of those apk its the framework.res.apk u need to mod
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] berdo:
I see that now. So much info I have been taking in this week trying to figure this out. But I am actually trying to accomplish the opposite. I do not want the transparent status bar or dock. Just the appdrawer. I have semi achieved this but I can not get the status bar to stay stock. I have used the xposed mod that makes it all black but I am looking for the gradient look, if that is the right way to put it. I am unpacking the framework and checking it out though.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] fallenangel408:
appdrawer as in the background of the bottom containing the 4 apps and app menu? or is that the dock?
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] berdo:
How I have always looked at it is, the constant row on the bottom is the dock that has the phone, sms, and other icons. The app drawer is where the clock is at the top and all the apps are listed, status/notification bar is the top where it has the time and signal icons. It is my understanding to have transparent anything the status bar has to be transparent as well.

It seems as though this is possible but I have not been able to get it to work. I have been using the method found here - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42190340&postcount=60 and further tweaks here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42517294&postcount=91

So far, the first method does nothing on ARHD and the second method crashes SystemUI.apk on any ROM I have tried. At this point I am willing to settle for a transparent app drawer for ARHD.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] fallenangel408:
got it! clears things up idont know how thats done....mine is all black pic below
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] berdo:
Yup, mine is too. What I would like is for that to be transparent so my wall paper shows instead of the black. It is possible, as proof by trickdroid and other older mods but I cannot get it to work with ARHD. Any ideas?

A) Please stay on topic on this post

B) if you are going to report a bug that appears to be releated to the runtime, say which you are running (ie Oracle version X, Apple version X, openjre version X etc). I'm going to bet you are using apple's, which is both up to date (to apple), and out of date (compared to oracle). I run into similar problems (with other software).

Off-topic intro

: Good to see you again, AdamOutler. It's been a great pleasure working with you in the past. Love the video - you're like a surgeon with that thing.

Somewhat related part

: I've looked into the USB chip a little bit from an external perspective (playing with resistors on the ID pin). I've achieved two different types of UART output and "Factory Mode" (see next section), but unfortunately that's all I've seen. It seems older Samsung devices had the FSA9480 (or similar), and we had lists of different resistances we could try... but none of these other resistances work now on the S4.

Possibly useful part

: When using 301k resistance, we get "Factory Mode" instead of "Odin Mode". I don't know if this makes any difference, but I figured it would be worth pointing out here. See attached screenshot.

Question regarding UART

: Previously, we were able to get an SBL prompt using UART. Is this not possible, or is this the "console=null" part you were looking at in the UART output? If we got to this prompt, I would imagine this to be quite useful.

Request for info

: Can you shed any light on the USB chip? We're trying to find out which resistances enable different modes, such as car dock mode (if it still exists) and anything else that might be useful. Heck, there may be some fancy new modes that might be useful for unlocking this bootloader (unlikely).

Thanks again for your amazing contributions to the community.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Peoplearmy:
Hi Adam,

Was hoping you would get this going. Started looking into some of those unknown chips and then I came across this.

http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+S4+Teardown/13947/2

Looks like they did their own tear down of the AT&T Galaxy S4 and provide some nice information about what each chip is and who manufacturers the chip. Hopefully this is helpful in diagnosing the board itself and some insight on how the board is laid out to figure out how to crack this bootloader.

DX
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] AdamOutler:
generally Factory Mode and Odin Mode are the same I have never come across a practical difference except the words. However, we can figure out more once we get a bootloader analysis.

Probly. However, I'm 100% sure null console is embedded into the boot.img. I'm 90% sure the entire boot.img is signed.

adam@adam-desktop:~/Desktop/GS4CASUAL/partitions/new$ cp ../boot.img ./
adam@adam-desktop:~/Desktop/GS4CASUAL/partitions/new$ abootimg -x ./boot.img
writing boot image config in bootimg.cfg
extracting kernel in zImage
extracting ramdisk in initrd.img
adam@adam-desktop:~/Desktop/GS4CASUAL/partitions/new$ cat ./bootimg.cfg
bootsize = 0xa00000
pagesize = 0x800
kerneladdr = 0x80208000
ramdiskaddr = 0x82200000
secondaddr = 0x81100000

adam@adam-desktop:~/Desktop/GS4CASUAL/partitions/new$

I can't at this time. However, I would bet it's an FSA**** chip being that they've always used that for resistance monitoring between pins 4 and 5 (aka x and 4).

I got a phone call from Josh (@Connexion2005 ) from MobileTechVideos.COM . He managed to do a JTAG on this device. You can seee more here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkfEhu4trRY He's just as interested as anyone else in getting this device unlocked. Here's some highlights/relevant information from our conversation which pertains to this unlock

@Connexion2005 has the ability to recover ANY bootloader problem at this time. This will bring "Hard Bricked" devices to Working or "Soft Bricked" states.

He did not grab the SYSTEM partition because this is generally provided by SAMSUNG. His reference device is now rooted which invalidates the SYSTEM partition. The SYSTEM partition must be torn from an unrooted device.

The Flash Counter and mod status has been located in the PARAM in the past. We need to get this torn from a live, unmodified device.

Josh has volunteered to provide a 100% stock SYSTEM and PARAM if somone can provide him a device

So, if anyone wishes to ship their 100% stock device out to MobileTechVideos.com , he will be able to provide us a 100% back to stock as torn from a live Galaxy S4 device.

I just got the system files up and online bootloaders, kernel, modem, system, and everything else. it's a 1.7gig tar.md5.gz file. 3Gigs uncompresed!

On topic, [MENTION=3682533]AdamOutler[/MENTION] are there any hardware alternatives that would 'unlock' our bootloader so to speak that are under 200$ ?

Such as a replacement of the daughterboard or motherboard (not sure where the bootloader resides ) or is it strictly a software issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] AdamOutler:
no. the problem is the hardware locks are expecting a software key. If this were a physical key, it would have 1000+ tumblers and we have no idea of the proper position for them. We can't do anything without the key, or a weakness in the locking mechanism.

question for adam

[MENTION=4058151]Adam[/MENTION], hey I was wondering. I use to mess around with sat receivers years ago. Had to use a j-tag and software to get the receives keys so to speak. Also any script for channels and such for the card had to have those numbers on them. I figure maybe any program that will mess with the boot loader may have to have each phones personal key so to speak in it. Also, do you think that maybe a way in would be threw the sim card, or dose the boot loader not even look for sim, that is the software on the phone that loads up after boot loader deals with sim card? I figure the boot loader is not working along side of the software on the phone but maybe it communicates with it i am unsure. is their a way we can like copy our boot loader? I have seen you guys talk about j-tagging the phone and such but i have not seen any info on actually doing it. I use to make my own j-tags and would like to maybe try it with my phone to get a copy of my boot loader to see what i see.

google works wonders found a bunch of information about it. Now just need to figure out if their is a way to mod the back cover so i can hook a j-tag to the phone and mount it on the phone and keep it attached. I do not like soldering and DE-soldering cables off stuff.

Ah the good ol' days of digging up group keys and whatnot ;)

As for this situation, the binaries are identical for all phones (by carrier). The uniqueness of each phone (SIM) is utilized post-aboot. The difficulty we have here is the chips are not accessible for manipulation/repair, and have been increasingly locked down. Since you brought up the old satellite days, imagine if the infamous Black Sunday zap occurred deep within the receiver's CPU..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] AdamOutler:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gage0727:
yea i get what you mean but black sunday was what happen with a sat companion i never messed with. I always did the other companies. That one you needed keys off the receiver to put on the card to get it to work together. i would never get hit because i did not have a wide open card. I would have locals and such unlocked but not the ppv and stuff. when ever i would get hit i would flip a switch on my ird for a second which in turn corrupted the eeprom chip and flip it back making the chip update. pull card and re incert. The road i am going down just wondering about is the software and hard ware interface before the rest of the phone come into play, each person would have to jtag their phone pull the information needed to marry the boot loader software with their phone. to my understanding correct me if wrong but the boot loader off one phone will not work on another correct because its been keyed for that specific phone?

Put social pressure via social media on Samsung is taking away S4 capabilities

Google and Samsung folded to pressure on allowing SDCards to be used for applications after 3 devices of not - some due to social pressure on the social communities. I would put social pressure every day on Samsung Social points about this issue - not being mean - but by asking them publicly to restore what for many has become jobs, etc. There are many arguments and pressure points to talk to Samsung on this. Of course they know of the issue - but if more of the public knows of the issue - they dont like this type of tweets to be in the news. Same thing happened on routers when they started to be restricted... Cisco/Linksys went back to supporting them more than before then when they reduced support.

Get the public awareness that Samsung is taking away capabilities of the phone. put social pressure by open messages/tweets/etc to Samsung

I wrote an IDA loader plugin for the ROMs: https://github.com/cycad/mbn_loader/blob/master/mbn_loader.py

It lets you load the various ROMs into the same IDB. I'm a highly capable reverser but don't know anything about ARM, Android, or hardware -- as of about 3 weeks ago I started using this bootloader challenge as a way to expand my skills. I've been able to enumerate some of the qfuse implementation and map out interactions between ROM regions. My motivations for posting this plugin are to share what I created and more importantly meet people who find this loader script useful. I suspect breaking this will take a confluence of the right skills.
