[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Your best bet at this point is to install Samsung Kies and use that to recover, or flash the MK2 factory image from the Android Development forum.

Then, possibly consider Safestrap, but ONLY after you've read here for a week or so to understand what you can do.

Example: YOU CAN'T FLASH CM OR AOSP using Safestrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] csaunders_24:
Since I am going to have to do a full wipe would you suggest downgrading to MDK or MJ7 so I can get a normal root and custom recovery? Or is that even possible?

BTW I am not new to rooting, etc. Just new to this phone. I've rooted my wife's S3 so I've used Odin before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rrrrrrredbelly:
Unfortunately no
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] csaunders_24:
524 35642356

Can you please explain why? If I'm writing a different factory image using Odin, wouldn't that overwrite everything on MK2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Apparently you have a lot of reading to do. :)

The I545 boot loader is locked. It will not allow you to flash anything not signed by Samsung.

For the MDK phone, there was an exploit discovered, called Loki, that allows flashing custom kernel, recovery,etc. allowing bypass of those locks.

So, now you can only flash something that Samsung built. Loki only works on the MDK bootloader.

In addition, the bootloader keeps track of what version of various files have been flashed. If you try to downgrade, it's rejected since the image you're trying to flash is lower than the version in the fuse that stores the revision level. Nobody knows how to reset that fuse, or if it's even possible to do so.

The MJ7 to MK2 upgrade didn't bump the revision level (it's a minor update), so you can backtrack from MK2 to MJ7. That's the only downgrade path that works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] csaunders_24:
Thank you! Yeah I've been doing a lot of reading the last few days and figured most of that out. Is there any benefit to downgrading to MJ7? I think I'm just going to take your original advice and just flash the factory image MK2 to get the recovery back, install safestrape, make nandroid and install hyperdrive. My only reason to do any of this is to get wifi tether. I'm still on the unlimited data plan. Thank you for being nice and not yelling at me. Haha :)

I'm a new to 3G. Recently I got an Huawei G510 which runs on Android 4.1. It supports 3G and has a front facing cam. But I can't find an option to make a Video call. I know some of you might suggest about third-party apps(Skype, Fring etc) but please don't. Now there is an option for internet call which takes an account setup(ID, Password, Server) I've no idea what it is.

My question are:

1. Can I make 3G video call (Non third-party) from this phone?

2. What is this "Internet call" and how do I get this Id, and server?

Thanks in advance.

Whatsup OP,

easiest way is mentioned, is to simply reflash the entire stock ROM, perhaps the question you should be asking is how to extract the Kernel from the entire ROM zip?

also i would recomend reflashing the entire stock ROM on anyway just to avoid any issues.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] sednafx:
Anyone know how to disable the hardware lights for the front buttons? I see two different areas of potential:

1. Modify the following config files located here: /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/ and set the permissions to read only. Issue: will not keep after a reboot.

2. Remove following lib: lights.msm8960.bak. Issue: Kills notification LED as well. Anyone know if this lib is proprietary or open source? Anyone to modify it to only turn off the button backlights?

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] axeman007:
Are you using the stock ROM? if then, go to Settings -> Display -> Notification Flash and deselect "Use LED light for notifications" checkbox.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dandrumheller:
He's talking about the lights on the capacitive keys, not the notification led on the power button...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ewcrider:
The front capacitive key lights can be turned off (on stock-based ROMs) in settings > display > Front key light.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sednafx:
Thanks for the replies. Looking for a solution for AOSP based roms. I should have stated that.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] nagato.fm:
Make an init.d script with the code you provided, it'll "fix" the problem of not sticking after a reboot.

I assume that you have a rooted phone. If your kernel doesn't support init.d, you can use any of plenty different solutions to enable it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] SnowLeopardJB:
It is open source. It should be trivial to modify to disable button backlight, or put a toggle in place. Not saying that I know how. Also, it should be noted that that also controls the lcd backlight, and it will cause it to not be able to be adjusted if deleted / renamed.

EDIT:

Actually, I took a look at it, and you can try replacing the lights.msm8960.so with this file. I am not sure if it will work on any kernel other than the one I compiled it with, but it is worth a shot.

Hello Everyone,

I have a question about the Samsung clipboard and its usage in different apps. I have attached screen shots of two apps. The behavior is similar on Galaxy S3, and Galaxy Note 2

1. ColorNotepad shows the Samsung extended clipboard which I do a long press on the EditText control.

Also the default messaging app shows the Samsung clipboard too.

2. When I do the same long press on InkPad I don't seem to get that Samsung clipboard.

Both app's can be downloaded from Google Play. Any ideas on why is the behavior different on different apps ?

Thanks in advance.

hello guys! I'm still a noob in Android and S4 is very first Android Smartphone. I made a decision to root my phone hoping to stop and control applications to move them to my memory card and extend my battery life. Now here's what happened, I rooted my S4 using Odin 3.4 as mentioned by djembey and used chainfire's CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505 but it so happened that I downloaded the old version of it. I'm using S4 with Build Number i9505DXUAMDM. After rooting, I opened the SuperSU application but I encountered a message saying "there is no su binary installed, and supersu cannot install it. this is a problem!". Again I repeat the process but now I encounter a notification saying "DETECTION Information" says I need to reboot to remove the unwanted software blablabla and the SuperSU app icon is now missing. I was so hopeless so I visited the thread http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2255190 and Chainfire's thread http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2219803 again and when I checked the contents they are newer tar.md5 file. Again for the third time, I rooted my S4 with the latest CF-AUTO-ROOT the SuperSU came back and I can now open it. But I still get this notification saying: "DETECTION Information" so I decided to unroot by opening SuperSU and chose unroot, then restart. But until now I still have the notification and when I checked my ROM during ODIN mode it says CUSTOM. I'd like to ask for help on how to remove this notification and root my device. As for the custom status I know I got to buy the triangle away app right? Thanks guys!

P.S. sorry for the very long post, I'm trying to explain everything what I did and I ended-up having a fail root.

[General Questions and Answers] keboose:
I have an LG Nitro HD, and I'm loving it, but I'm still on my prepaid Go-Phone plan from AT&T that I got 4 years and 3 phones ago. I want to upgrade to the cheapest plan I can with mobile data (so I can use my fancy-pants GPS apps,) which turns out to be T-Mobile's $2/day plan, because you only pay on days you use the phone, and I'm being a chatterbox if I make more than a call per week.

The road bump that's keeping me from switching right now is that the 2/day plan only offers the 2G network, and even if I go with the $3/day plan that includes 4G unlimited data, my local area (and in fact most of my home state) is only covered by 2G or a service partner according to their coverage map. I don't know if that means 2G speeds, or if it's literally a 2G network, but either way, it makes me nervous to buy.

Anyway, my big question is if I can use GPS on this 2G network. My Nitro has all the bells and whistles, so it can deal with GPS and data up to 4G speeds, but can I actually use it with the network available to me?
