[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bhp090808:
Sweetness I will update tools tonight. Your the man
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bhp090808:
Tool Updated for cwm update thanks shabby
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sholsten:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bhp090808:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hamzer11:
Is your return to stock image MDB or MDL?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bhp090808:
MDB
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KGB7:
Can you please separate the updated tool from the large tar file?? It will be much quicker to DL the updated tool itself.

And will your updated tool work with MDL?

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bhp090808:
I will try to put it together this evening and yes it will
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] smknutson:

Help?!

So, if my phone was rooted and was working, but now after a few reboots, won't boot past the AT&T carrier logo screen...can someone please lemme know how to flash this via stock recovery or adb sideload or something? Please? Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bhp090808:
Could you be more specific? Not many details in there
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] smknutson:
Pressing #2 for ROOT, it halts on "daemon not running, starting it now on port 5037 * daemon started successfully "

Its not frozen, I can exit out, just nothing happens...?

EDIT: Nvm, user error. I had restarted the phone prior to and USB debugging wasn't enabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] trparky:
I want to do this to my phone but I'm a bit lost. Once I root it with MotoChopper, is there anything else I need to do? If I don't do anything but root it, can the device still take OTA updates?

Do I even need to load a custom recovery such as CWM/TWRP? Is that even needed?

There seems to be some third-party kernels ready for this device. If I backup the device's kernel using a command like this...

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/stockkernel.img

Should I be able to simply use this command to write a third-party kernel to the phone?

dd if=/sdcard/thirdpartykernel.lok of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot

I'm trying not to have to flash a recovery to the phone and keep the phone as close to being able to be unrooted as possible. Or is this even necessary now that we have stock ROM dumps that are able to be loaded via ODIN? Will I have to use Triangle Away?

I'm just trying to do some research into all of this before I go take the plunge into the world of rooting on this device.

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

I decided to just dive right on in, head first. Rooted the device, that was great. Then I loaded CWM which was easy. Then I loaded Faux's kernel and that sent me into a panic when at first my device didn't want to boot. I was like freaking out man! But then I did a battery pull and let it boot again, this time it booted properly.

Best thing of this whole endeavor is that the nasty lag beast is gone. This thing is smooth, super smooth. I turned the animations back on just for testing and wow, just wow. Animations are smooth, no lag when switching apps. This is great!

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 PM ----------

Great... now it says "Custom" whenever I start my phone. Why is that? If I have to go back to stock, say via Odin, will that "Custom" message on the boot screen go away? Will I have to use Triangle Away at some point?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sloanster:
Need a Hand..

Hi all,

So I used the tool to odin back to stock...

followed the instructions, unchecked the F. box

All seemed to go well Odin gave me a "PASS"

But when the phone booted yes the I337... it played the ATT jingle and seemed to be froze on the blue & white Planet (ATT ICON)

Any Ideas?

PS I grabbed another stock firmware UCUAMDL with the same results...:crying:

Having trouble going in CWM with button combo I let go of buttons when I see the little blue letters
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] trparky:
For the one that's having an issue booting after Odin, I'd pull the battery and let it do a cold boot. Let it sit for a bit. There's some things that it needs to do during the first boot after a restore that may take a long time to do. Just let it sit for a bit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sloanster:
I will try both

on the first post though I believe my custom recovery went with the odin flash... Right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] trparky:
Yes, the custom recovery would have went bye bye with the Odin flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] los0325:
I used this tool to root and install CWM. WORKED and was effortless. The issue I have is that I can't get into CWM with the button combo. Any ideas why? I was able to get into CWM when rooting I even made a backup. When I was rebooting out of CWM it asked my tio fix recovery so I said yes. Then rebooted
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hazenagent:
When I tried to root got the following message "ADB is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bhp090808:
Did you enable usb debugging? Install updated drivers?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hazenagent:
Updated drivers. mUSB debugging checked.

Redownloaded and tried on another computer with same result.

Thanks for reply.

finally got it done through the stock recovery... whew what a long night
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KGB7:
Oding flash is part of the package in your first post.

I DL'ed the large package anyways just to get latest CWM and rooting worked just fine with MDL.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hazenagent:
Tried on two computers. One Windows 7 and the other Vista.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sloanster:
What we were saying is that after the Odin Flashed back to stock... (even though it hung-up) that deleted the custom recovery that was more expandable to do more... Instead I had to work around the few parameters the stock recovery offers:(

The tool did help me get back to Root and I say many thanks to the OP
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] joeybear23:
Is the download link broken, or is it just blocked on my end?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bhp090808:
Link is good. Just uploaded Slim version. Links in OP. Everythings the same just no odin to stock option. Smaller file to download
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ZephCr:
I'm rooted already, do I need to do step 2 before I can do step 3?

Dont have too but is recommended
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] kleeman7:
Thanks for this, made my life easier, didn't have to download them all and do each step separately. Thanks a bunch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KGB7:
I updated my phone to latest factory AT&T UAMDL. I did lose root, but the tool rooted my phone with no issues. And I installed latest CWM as well.

Just wanted to let the peeps know that the tool is working correctly.

Afterwards I removed junk apps with Titanium Backup that were reinstalled with factory rom.

But thats before lite version was uploaded.

Problems getting ibnto stock recovery

I had an issue that required that I use odin to return to stock - I have done that and the phone won't boot - so I need to wipe data in recovery (Stock Recovery) but everytime I try to launch stock recovery it simply goes into a normal boot.

I hold power and volume up - and then release it after the Samsung logo flashes -

What am I doing wrong? Is there any other way to launch recovery? so I can wipe data?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bhp090808:
Add the home button to that combo

Has anyone tried dl this in their phone??.. Seems ice had problems gonna try my laptop later.. I'm itching to flash a rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MattMJB0188:
A big thanks to bhp for this. Just a quick question, do I have to be in download mode to do this, or I just plug in my phone, enable debugging and run the program?

I want to do the full version with Odin to stock. How exactly is Odin included in the full version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mocsab:
Nope.doesnt work

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

I finally got into stock recovery. Apparnelty my phone is very sensitive - in order for me to launch recovery manually - stock or otherwise - I need to hold power and volume up until the Samsung logo/ custom unlock screen appears - and immediately release - I was holding down longer than I should and it just bypassed recovery and booted. But when I release at just the right time - then, it does launch recovery.

I was able to wipe data - and viola I am now clean - rooted and ready to flash again. :)

Thanks for your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bhp090808:
Phone does not need to be in dl mode to run this. Odin is included in full version as a step to flash back to stock. Its incorporated into the tool
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bhp090808:
Wouldnt recommend downloading full version via your phone its a 1.6 gig zip lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] KINGDROID25:
Lol I no its jus too much work to get my laptop out its more convenient on my phone lol.. Lazy what can i say

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Reinaldo33897:
Is there a mirror download link for the full version. I tried several times to download but keeps telling me my browser w8 is outdated can not download. So I tried google chrome to download but keeps asking me for a key.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bhp090808:
Ill see what I can do
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sloanster:
The recovery button combo has a very short dwell time... if you miss the window start over...

its far better to use adb to boot into recovery or better yet a software button like tool box lite or pro offers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jrcmlc:
Everything went smooth, but trying to do a backup in CWM and it keeps giving an error mounting external SD. Thoughts?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bhp090808:
Several apps out there like goo manager or quick reboot. Or three button combo which is very sensitive. Power home volume up. Let go of power when phone vibrates.

Hello Guys.

my sister has got a xperia j. I updated it to jelly bean.

But now i see that rooting isnt possible without bootloader unlock.

So the question i would like to ask is:

it possible to downgrade the xperia j via flashtool to ics or will it brick?

Second thing. I would like to install cwm on it (there is a version for locked bootloaders) and flash paranoid rom.

Do i have to unlock the bootloader after this or can i just flash the rom with locked bootloader?

Thanks in advance
