I do think it was because of our efforts that the leaked happen. I think someone up above in AT&T felt bad for us and saw what was about to ensue for the next few months if they won't unlock the bootloader.

Anyways thank god it is and now we just play the waiting game for dj to feel comfortable in releasing, cause if I'm right he's gonna be holding off atleast until the Verizon Variant is released :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] wgoldfarb:
LOL. Thanks, and I don't mind at all. i actually saw your post, liked it, and made a minor comment. Anything to try to get AT&T to listen!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sam2c:
Couldnt believe my eyes when I saw this thread.

But couldnt ATT/Samsung be planing at the moment a forced OTA to address the issue?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] seh6183:
Great news. However AOSP will still suck because samsung refuses to release proper sources. At least there will be custom recoveries and custom touchwiz roms. Now if they would only make touchwiz better to look at! So much poetential.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Swiftks:
1) They have to find the issue/exploit themselves first, as the details will not be released until the end of May, when the Verizon S4 comes out.

2) Root and freeze all OTA system files.

Well, maybe

Well, maybe someone will be motivated enough to figure out a way to transform non-polynomial problems into polynomial, then make mincemeat out of the that trivial 2048 bit RSA key. Or that person might even be crafty enough to create an algorithm to calculate any prime number, then decrypt that silly RSA key.

Something came over me.

I'm not sure what state of mind I was in when I posted my absurd prior comment.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Thermalwolf:
I wouldn't say that long, once Verizon starts shipping there pre-order devices then he will probably be safe to release the unlock. It will be worth the wait and atleast now you don't have to guess when it's unlocked, now it's just wait for the dang thing to be released hahaha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] C0mbe:
Nothing to see here. The previous post was part ignorance and inability to read.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] flucks:
Is this the result of a leak?

No. I would not associate myself with the publication of confidential materials that are proprietary to these companies, regardless of the fact that I disagree with their policies on device openness. Plus, where's the fun in that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jeboo:
It's more than likely not a leak..A leak would not be time-sensitive and affect another model. It's a code-based flaw that he doesn't want to reveal yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] C0mbe:
I stand corrected. Thought I read one of the tweets to indicate it was a leak. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy again though...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] munchy_cool:
OP updated with link to djrbliss's thread on xda. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Thermalwolf:
Maybe he means leaked info to a flaw? Other then that I agree with you, if it's patchable then it's gotta be something in the code. I'm still blown away by how fast this was unlocked -- mind = blown!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Sushibagel:
This is why I hate Verizon, I leave them to get away from their locked bootloaders and crappy phones and slow releases and now they are still affecting me because we have to for the stupid Verizon version to come OUT! Lame... I am glad to know that I will be able to unlock it at least :p:good:

No leak, of any kind, period.

I highly doubt that a recognized member of this community would fake something like this. It's skepticism like this that drives people away from the community.

The basic description is that AT&T had Samsung lock the phone from being able to install custom ROMs, kernel, and more. The lock has now been bypassed thankfully and we will be able to customize the phone as much as we wish.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Rox628:
Um ok... But i thought root was achieved already? I'm assuming that's not the same?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] BaconStep:
Its not the same. A device can have root but if the boot loader is locked it won't be able to flash roms.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Relys:
If you have an unlocked bootloader you can load any kernel you want, whereas a locked bootloader checks for a verified digital signature (using some form of cryptography).

In other words a phone with a locked bootloader is like a iPhone in terms of customization to the operating system... You can't do jack ****.

djrbliss was able to exploit the chain of trust for the bootloader to flash custom ROMs (the operating system) etc.

Source: CS Grad student+flashed custom ROM to LG-Expo+former jailbroken iPhone user.

So far I've rooted my device and frozen some of the bloatware in TiBackup. Before I go any further I will wait for djrbliss to release his exploit so I can ensure I can fully recover in case of a soft brick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] AnthomX:
Time for a classic
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] AnthomX:
Sorry, double posted. I agree with the waiting for anything else. I haven't fully read into rooting the S4 yet, just picked mine up today, came home and went to bed for a few hours so I could swap to a night schedule, just now getting to play with it, but nervous about rooting it because I don't want to screw up. At least until I can read about it. And I at least have my S3 as a backup.....for now. I await with baited breath for custom roms, I miss them already.

As far as the iphone vs android "jailbreaking" I find it kind of funny that it took only a couple days to do, whereas it takes months to jailbreak the iPhone. But what I find more impressive, is that on XDA, we give incentive to create unlocks, etc, by chipping in as a community and creating a bounty. I do not remember at any point during the 4 years I was with apple, that anyone created bountys. Seems more like people that feel entitled to have it, and demand from the developers. (I know we have some too). I know its hard work, I wish I understood language enough to do it myself, so I, like many others are thankful for people like djrbliss for the time they take and the dedication put into it.

So djrbliss, THANK YOU. I will patiently await for you to release the method. And you will see my portion of the bounty head your way once that happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mathieulh:
Keep in mind that the Snapdragon 600 uses Qfuses, therefore any older/compromised version of the bootloader can be permanantly revoked through a software update (I am not saying that they will, but it won't ever run again on your phone if they do). Something to be careful of if you ever think of updating.

I would advise you to purchase your phone before the bootloader unlock exploit is unveiled, but I rather advise you not to get a phone with a locked bootloader in the first place (basically stay away from AT&T and VZW).

There are plenty of galaxy S4 variants that feature unlocked bootloaders (I9500, I9505, T-Mobile version, possibily Canadian models too...) just pick one that will suit your needs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bcnu_702:
Happy to hear this. Hope it becomes official soon!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Rox628:
Not defending the apple users... But their was without question money on the table for the jailbreak development for iphone.

Ignorant as I am on android exploiting... I believe it is apples to oranges, (not to get the thread off topic)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] atx84:
I am hoping it is safe to assume he is not waiting till the release date to publish this. Rather when the shipments take place, or a few days before. There is no way verizon can do a software update that quick, assuming they dont decide to delay shipments because of this. Bet they are in a rush trying to figure it out now though. Hopefully this wait isn't for nothing.

Hi,

Next week I will be receiving my Qtek 2020.... yummie !!!!

I would like to use it for GPS.

I live in Belgium, so I want the whole Benelux always with me...

Sometimes I travel to Germany.

So maybe it's better to buy two "little" cards instead of one big.

I thought 2 x 512 MB ?

But which brand ???

Ik heard bad things about Sandisk ...

And what about Apacer, Kingston, Lexar, Twinmos ????

Many thanks for your reply's !!!

( And excuse me for my afwull English... :oops: )
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mvb95:
Nobody ??? :cry: :cry: :cry: :roll:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
do a search in other threads people give their exp with different cards

sandisk is pretty compatible but the slowest cards in the world
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] gazzaman2k:
why 2 x 512 cards lol thats a bit much no? why not get 2 x simpletech 256mb sd cards? they are the fastest cars out just like panasonic dont bother with sandisk very slow also lexar are to be considered
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mvb95:
Thx foor these reply's.

So, it will be a Lexar, a Panasonic or maybe a Kingston.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Chris7450:
My choice

I use 2 SD card Kingston 512 and I don't have any problems.

I have order the new Sandisk 1Go and I will inform you of my experience with this new card (I expect in a few weeks).

See you later
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] edsub:
Just got a Sandisk 512Mb SD card as a present (well I asked for Panasonic or Toshiba) . . . .the Sandisk is far more expensive (& sold as 'a better card') but the performance sucks!!!

I've used it now for two days, have TomTom maps installed on it. Same config as i have for months now, except that i changed my Kingston 256MB (which isnt a performance highflyer either) fro the Sandisk.

Never had so many

1. freezes after hanging up while TomTom is still running

2. slow responses from the device in various aspects (ie. picking up the phone, putting call thru to BT headset, showing menu)

Next to these issues is also has the same (or worse) data-thoughput limitations as the Kingston card has resulting in freezes when you have POI's open in TomTom while driving.

Anyway, got my Kingston back in.

Anyone want to buy my almost-brand-new Sandisk 512MB SD????
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] macdiver:
Don't use SanDisk 1Gb

Hi all!

Thought I was lucky with this SD, but half of the time either my pc or MDA II suggests to reformat it... :-S no thanks!
[Desire Themes and Apps] elta7an:
hello all.

i have HTC desire with stock ROM v 2.2 and i have rooted my phone and flashed the CM10 | Jelly Bean 4.1.2 - v3.1 which supports a2sd script and allow to install many app in the SD-ext partition but there were some problems in the battery drain . video play back flickering and video recorder so i restored my original stock ROM it is very fast and no the jellybean's issues but the only problem is limited internal memory so i need your help to have a2sd script or any script to overcome this problem

thanks.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Chromium:
Use any non sense gingerbread ROM if u want speed + battery life.

I would recommend using milwilds redux or oxygen ROM. They have a2sd built in and activated, so all u need to is flash the rom if you have already made the partition.
[Desire Themes and Apps] elta7an:
thanks chromium but i want any solution on the stock ROM i don't wanna flash any other ROM thanks again fo your help and hope more help further .
[Desire Themes and Apps] jmcclue:
u shoulda just flashed a pre rooted stock rom which would be less bloated + a2sd
[Desire Themes and Apps] elta7an:
can you clear i can't understand you i am beginner not professional.

thx for Ur patience
[Desire Themes and Apps] Chromium:
You need to flash a stock ROM that comes pre rooted. From there you can install an a2sd script.

I would really recommend a custom gingerbread ROM though. It looks like you just had a bad experience with the new jb ROMs, but trust me the GB roms are good. they are fast, stable, and optimized from a2sd.
[Desire Themes and Apps] elta7an:
OK chromium i will trust u :laugh: and waiting to recommend GB ROM that you have tried before and sorry to tell me also the steps of flashing of it and optimizing of a2sd.

very appreciated for your help.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Chromium:
1. Partition your sd card using this guide if you havent already done so.

2. Download Mildwild v4.9 based on Oxygen from here. Then copy the zip to your sdcard

3. Reboot into recovery. If you are using cwm recovery do the following: wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. If using 4ext recovery go to the wipe menu and select "format all partitions (except sd card)"

4. Then go to install and choose the zip of the rom you previously copied to the sd card. Once it has successfully flashed, reboot

5. Leave it for about 5 minutes to load everything up (the first boot may take up to 10 min so be patient)

6. If you made the partition correctly in step 1, whenever you install an app it will automatically be moved to the sd card ext partition.
[Desire Themes and Apps] jmcclue:
@OP, if u r going to use MildWild Oxygen (very good rom) then i would highly recommend changing hboots (if ur s-off) to get the most space for data partition, otherwise ul be wasting over 100mb in system partition.
[Desire Themes and Apps] elta7an:
Thanks Chromium.

but in your opinion what's the best size of created Ext for this Rom and what about swap .am using CWM v4.0.1.4 and have partitioned Sd card on it with 2048m as Ext 3 ?

after flashing this ROM will i use terminal emulator to activate a2sd script or it will activate automatically ??

Sorry for inconvenience chromium :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] elta7an:
thanks jmcclue .

I can't understand clearly but already i have Hboot-6.93.1002 and radio-5.11.05.27 is this what u mean ?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Chromium:
First of all dont use cwm to make the partition. Read this guide to learn how to correctly make the partition. You can easily install 4ext recovery which is better than cwm and it will make good partitions. I would recommend a 1gb ext4, and no swap. After flashing the rom, a2sd will be already activated so theres no need to use terminal emulator to do anything.

Jmcclue is suggesting that you use a different hboot (internal memory partition layout). Using stock hboot with mildwilds oxygen rom, you will be wasting more than 100mb on the system partition. If you want to optimize the internal partition layout so that you have the most space on on the data partition, it would be wise to use the cm7r2 hboot, or even one of the custom hboots that jmcclue has made (check his signature).
[Desire Themes and Apps] elta7an:
Thanks chromium

am afraid about jmcclue's suggestion because i don't understand this topic clearly and have no experience in it

is this changing in hboot is safe for my device ????????
[Desire Themes and Apps] Chromium:
OK hboot is the layout of partition sizes on the internal memory. There are 3 partitions: system, cache and data.

Stock hboot gives 250mb to system which is way too much because mildwilds oxygen rom only needs 110mb.

Since you are wasting 140mb on system, you get less space on data(to store app data on)

With cm7r2 hboot u get 145mb system partition, and more space on data.

Changing hboot is pretty easy, but i guess u could say its more risky than flashing a rom. Its not mandatory to do it but it would make sense to do so. Its your choice.

If you leave it with stock hboot everything will work fine, but your data partition will fill up faster. If you aren't planning on installing more than 50 apps then stock should be fine. If you want the ability to install lots of apps (more than 50) then install cm7r2.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Chromium:
How many apps do u think you will install?
[Desire Themes and Apps] elta7an:
I will change my hboot :D but i don't know which one can i install to work with the Rom and the method of installation.

i have read the jcullum's thread of custom hboots and downloaded the custom hboots but there are many files and can't differentiate between them which is the more suitable to my device and which is the proper method for installing it

which i can understand it.is too move any hboot.img from any folder to SD card and flash it from recovery ?

if this right ? i wanna recommendation to the proper one for this ROM and more safe definitely :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] elta7an:
may be more than 30 app ;) but more of them is small sized app. the big one is Facebook app,messenger,maps,viber,weechat,and whatsapp

the another ones are some widgets and small sized apps plus to officesuite and youtube :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Chromium:
No u don't flash any hboot files through recovery. This is how to flash the hboot:

1. Go to http://alpharev.nl/ and download the PB99IMG for the cm7r2 hboot.

2. Once it has downloaded, rename it to PB99IMG and put it on the root of your sd card (not in any folders)

3. Boot into hboot(volume down + power). Wait a bit while it searches for the file

4. When it finds the file it will ask if you want to install. Press volume up to install. The reboot.
[Desire Themes and Apps] elta7an:
Arabic Language issue in this Rom :crying:

also downloaded Arabic pack and useless :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] Chromium:
Try downloading this arabic support zip onto your sdcard. Then boot into recovery and flash it.
[Desire Themes and Apps] elta7an:
downloaded and flashed but stuck on the white logo screen of htc
[Desire Themes and Apps] Chromium:
Try using this Milwild rom instead. Its very good as well.

Once you have installed the rom, flash the arabic support zip. It should work with this rom since it was from that thread.
[Desire Themes and Apps] elta7an:
Thanks chromium

I will flash this ROM with this file and will give you the feedback :)

Hope to be a positive one :)

Thank you guys!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Vynikal:
If it says that you can't unlock, you can try something through Wotan, but I don't have any experience with that. If you don't want to perform any risks you can always install stock-based ROM (Zelly Cream, Viper etc.) even without unlocked bootloader.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmm...you must be confuse with operator lock and bootloader lock....

Operator lock is when you can only use one services provider on your phone....you cannot use any other services provider...if you phone can use different services provider then your operator lock has been unlock...

Bootloader lock meanwhile is a lock that prevent you to use custom kernel on your phone...still you can use custom roms that is base on stock kernel...since in services menu you bootloader unlock allowed = no, you cant unlock your bootloader (correct me if i'm wrong)....trying to unlock it means that you have 99% chances of bricking your phone....

FYI : Wotan server is for unlocking operator lock not for unlocking bootloader (correct me if i'm wrong).....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] reaim:
Ok but i dont know if i install a new rom i lose my unlock or i have them with the new rom?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] reaim:
OK thank you, i want operator lock, but im reading somewhere its possible if i unlock boot loader and install other kernel or something.

and this wotan server for unlocking is working all country all operator? oh i see but i want a free method, i like if i make the unlocking and other stuffs.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
Yes wotan server is for unlocking operator lock all round the country...you should check it out first but are you sure your phone is operator lock??? did you try to put other sim card from different operator into your phone??? does other sim card work??? if is not working then i believe it is operator lock....
