Has anyone run triangle away with ktoonez kernel. I don't have stock kernel and don't want to sift brick the phone using it

Edit: wanted to share. I couldn't get rid of the pad lock splash screen with any other method. So I bought triangle away. I am on Mint ROM which is MEA based touch wiz ROM with ktoonez kernel. Risk yes but I had to try. In triangle away it said I was official with 0 counter but I had the screen on boot. Chose the option to reset and clicked through the warnings. It rebooted into download mode which showed official. Held power to get to triangle away screen. Showed official and zero so chose volume down to reboot. Rebooted and got stuck on Samsung S4 splash screen. This is where I think I screwed up. Wait a bit and then manually power off. Wait a few and power on. It comes on and boots normal without padlock. God is good. Just wanted to share. Use at your own risk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bbaeziii:
Works

Used method 1 on at&t s4 and worked the first time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CPA Poke:
I'm gonna sound terrible, but I was definitely waiting on someone that had the guts to try this on a custom ROM/Kernel (especially KT, which is what I run on every ROM I flash) and report back on what happened before trying this myself...I'm sorry, but this phone cost way too much (and I use it so much every day) that I just couldn't afford a hard-brick :(

So I used this method as well (purchased TriangleAway, followed instructions, etc), and I'm happy to report that it worked!!! I'm assuming the padlock will come back as soon as I flash another ROM, but if this keeps working then I'm just gonna add the TriangleAway step into my normal flashing routine and do it each time I flash :)

Right now running XXUBMF2 Battery King v4.0 with KT 6/17 kernel :)

Edit: Forgot to mention, I'm on AT&T, MDL modem.

All these methods to remove that unlock symbol failed for me but when I flashed goldeneye, it went away and the official Samsung logo came back..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hamzer11:
Glad to be the guinea pig. I literally prayed during the whole process. It is an expensive phone but I had my s3 ready in case it all went South.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mbc663:
Did this with my fingers crossed last night. Thanks for taking the plunge! ;]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CPA Poke:
Well, did it work?? :)

Also what ROM/kernel are you running?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mbc663:
yes it worked ;] im running mint jelly v3 with KT's latest.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cpufrost:
Ditto, happy to say I did the same and it's working.

Talk about Russian Roulette! I'm on a job right now and losing my phone would basically strand me and set me back a day (at least) with work! I thought I'd be adventurous and do it and it worked! If it didn't I wouldn't be posting this since I'm tethered with my surface pro! ;)

I'm sure the next time I try something this bold my luck won't be so good.

Seems to boot a bit faster as the padlock splash screen was there longer than the official S4.

I bought Triangle Away nearly a year ago for my S3. If you really want to ditch the padlock on start it's worth the purchase price. For me it was a no brainer although I tell you last week I loaded it up and got to the brick warning and chickened out and removed the app. Thanks for being guinea pigs for the rest of us!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jvnat:
Tried method 2 and it worked for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mbc663:
Brass ones for sure. I was so so nervous.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] lazard:
Does triangle away required an unlocked bootloader?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CPA Poke:
I think theoretically, but as several users (including myself) have reported recently, it's worked on the AT&T variant - which still technically has a locked bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] lazard:
tried Triangle Away and it successfully got rid of the padlock on the splash screen, but the device status is still showing up at Custom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CPA Poke:
You're talking about in the "About Phone" section of your settings? If so, mine shows that too...but i could care less. I just wanted to get rid of that stupid padlock, so I'm happy :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] blyndfyre:
The app is called 'Triangle Away' not 'Custom Status Away' :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] motumbo:
Confirmed triangle away application is working ok on mint jelly and ktoonz kernel.

Can anyone PLEASE help me, I have the i337m from bell canadian version, and the latest update is really stable but im stuck on an older version because I rooted, please help me this method does not work and I need that new update, is there a way to install from zip on my recovery? I hate ththis phone for using 1.3g out of 3 usable, HELPPPPP ♡♥♡♡♡
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] polish_pat:
the latest update is 2 months old...so which update you talking about?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Dragosmp:
I don't know I just saw that the latest release makes ****wiz use less ram and it's pathetic how much ram the stupid thing uses
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] polish_pat:
You're late. its 2 months old
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Dragosmp:
Well week after I got the phone I rooted it, and since then I am unable to update, does it matter if it's two months old if I still don't/can't have/use it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] polish_pat:
if you are only rooted, take out any sd card you have, try method and or 2, if not use method 3, as a last resort, odin back to stock, try method 1 or 2 again, or until official is back
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] polish_pat:
Method 4 has been added for all you people that want to eliminate the problem at the source
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] goobieracing:
Another triangle away success
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Creeebs:
First off thanks so much for this guide! Quick question for you.

I used method one and seems it has brought me back to Official status. (for now)

When you say "Once that OTA comes, simply use rootkeeper to freeze it up, update and restore root" in Step 8 what are you referring to when you speak about freezing "it"

Which application must I freeze before applying update?

Also now that busybox has been deleted should I find a way to reinstall it? is it necessary to have?

Thanks again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] polish_pat:
I'm sorry if i was confusing, i know the term freeze is capitalised by titanium backup, but in fact what i meant is use rootkeeper to save root, then OTA and restore root. Like that you can keep doing OTAs when they come and keep root without a hassle.

Also busybox is an advanced root tool. Its not useful unless you know what it is and what it does. Chances are, you dont need it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Creeebs:
Perfect! Thanks for the prompt reply, that clears everything up for me.

Thanks for making my life a little easier.

Cheers,

Josh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Jah0n:
This actually worked for me running TWRP recovery on the Google Edition rom. Thank you for this post however!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] lgkahn:
busy box is necessary for titanium backup to work correctly... I cannot live without it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] polish_pat:
doesnt affect any of the uses i make of TB and i deleted busybox since day 1, so i guess what you are saying is not totally true
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] polish_pat:
well as it works out, this thread is always in evolution, for some people it works, others it doesnt, some didnt work on stock and others it worked on custom recovery and rom...this seems to be much more complex than i initially thought
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] T90:
Option 2 worked perfectly for me. Thanks for taking the time to write this!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sam340:
Hey , Thank for this amazing Guide !

For your information I am on Stock , Only root , no SD card and with Rogers .

I followed the Method 1 but didnt work for me so I tried the Method 2 and got it

to work but it's not permanent .

If I Disable Superuser in the SuperSU settings then I will get the Official status but

as soon as I re-enable Superuser then I got the custom Status .

So if i want the official status with OTAs I need to disable superuser and then almost

no root apps work . So if i want them to work, i need to enable superuser but get the

custom status .

Any other solutions to get it permanent ? I dont think I will try method 3 or 4

because I dont want to hard-brick my phone .

Thanks .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] polish_pat:
My dear friend. Welcome to Android. I can see you are new to the world of Android.

Lesson 1: Superuser = SuperSU. Both have one purpose, manage root permissions.

Once you root, superuser should be installed by default. After that, you can install Chainfire's SuperSU, grant it root, update the binaries and DELETE superuser. There is no point on having 2 root managers and i think it's even a problem. So just uninstall superuser, if it doesn't work, the chances are your newbiness might have cause you a problem or 2, the simplest solution would be to ODIN back to stock, then start the process again, you will not lose any of your data, you'll just have a fresh start and you can try all that one more time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sam340:
First of all Thank You for your welcome :cool:

I already know that ( the lesson one ) And I already did all that correctly .

I think you miss understood me , I dont have 2 root managers I only have SuperSU , Superuser was deleted long time ago .

Was I was saying is in the SuperSU application , in the settings tab under SUPERUSER section there is a : Enable Superuser . Option and when I un-check this option , I cannot give root permission anymore and this is normal . But when I do that the custom status disapear and I get the official status . I reboot twice or even a third time just to make sure and Im still official. But if i want to give root permission I need to activate Superuser , but when I do this the Custom Status come back . So this is like Semi-Permanent ...

Thank You for you're time , really apreciated :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fast96:
Method 2 worked for me. I used motochopper for root to begin with, and I have the lokied version of Philz Touch recovery. Status is now "Official"

I don't know what they could OTA update to make this phone any better.

Thank You:victory:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sam340:
When you enable superuser back after the reboot 2x it still official status ?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fast96:
Yes, but I haven't rebooted after the re-enable superuser.

I had a crash after a bad app install, and restored from recovery, the official status went away, but I regained it by repeating the method 2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rsarwar:
Method #2 worked PERFECTLY! Now showing as Official Status :cool:

Thank You! :highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fast96:
Well, I have the Official status , and rootkeeper, turned off SuperSU , but the OTA failed. It downloaded, then tried to install with Philz Touch recovery, failed, then tried to install it as an "untrusted XXXXX.zip, still failed. Phone is ok but no update. Can't find the log file to send to Philz.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] blyndfyre:
I think you may want to hold of on the update anyways. Some users reported losing root and unable to get it back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] polish_pat:
Updates OP for a warning about OTA. Please read it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fast96:
Thanks for all the quick work being done on this issue. I'm glad it didn't take the OTA, and that my phone seems to be as it was. I learned to be more patient in jumping on updates. It won't happen again. While the app2sd might be nice, I really don't need it. If I do, I will try the Goldeneye rom. Glad to be a member of this Forum.

I still have root (motochopper), still have custom recovery, still have overclock. Still have Official status, and MDL baseband. Should I use some method to remove the downloaded update? If so , how to find it and delete it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] blyndfyre:
GOLDENEYE has the app2sd, trust me try it, it's great and it's much faster than stock.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] polish_pat:
OP updated with method to OTA to MF3 and retain root
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] FrenchToast_:
I was wondering, if I were to do method 1 (I am rooted, custom recovery, and have custom status :\) could I be able to skip the last step, updating to the OTA? If I skipped it would I still have an official status?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] blyndfyre:
You never have to update with the OTA. That is optional and usually discouraged until developers get a good look at it to be sure it doesn't block root methods and such. In fact, when that method was written there wasn't an OTA available and it was considered for future OTA's.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] FrenchToast_:
Thank you. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] theSpam:
Thinking of trying methods 1 and 2 -- we don't loose any internal SD data or apps with OTAs right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jball:
Why get rid of "custom"?

Don't we stick out cause we r custom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] thacounty:
We want custom ROMs that run better than stock. So it has to look stock.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pao:
Hello,

I just had a quick question. I noticed that when you enter the boorloader of a stock device, you do't have the "recovery"menu.... only installing a custom recovery (e.g clockwork), will give you access to the recovery menu. Yesterday, I reverted back to the stock developper recovery and again, i don't have the "recovery" menu option once in the bootlader. Is this normal ?

thank you

Greg
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaythenut:
Have you got super user installed and cwm
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pao:
no... I had clockwork recovery but as I said, reverting back to Stock Dev Recovery gives me a "recovery" menu but when I click on it the phone starts with HTC screen and after 30 seconds I end up on a screen with a red warning triangle.....
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pao:
anyone ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicuvlad:
Perhaps there is someone that can figure out how to configure this phone with Hands Free Link to allow MAP and the texting and e-mail feature.

Currently, the Hands Free Link personnel claim that this phone is not compatible as they state their system in Honda cars, which I have an Accord Coupe EXL without Navi, will allow for Aha, Pandora, Text via SMS send/receive and E-mail, but the phone manufacturer, Samsung refuses to configure, yet Honda touts this feature on their cars. Ridiiiiculouuuus.

Since BB phones can do most of these features, yet be a dying company, I'm wondering if anyone out there could develop these features by showing me how to do this for my current phone.

There is a chart that Hands Free Link shows with different carriers and phones and NONE of the features listed above are a complete Y across the board for any Verizon and/or Samsung phone.

Thanks,

Mark

Is it possible to re-partition the internal memory of my Xperia mini pro (sk17i)?? Like it woukd be great if it uses the external storage like sd cards for internal storage....i'm currently running out of internal memory, all my apps are moved to external card. Please help. Thanks in advnce. :)
[General Questions and Answers] erikalin:
Hey bud, Good question. And I would totally answer your question if I knew the answer. I can say that if you ask on the Q&A in that device's forum you're more likely to get some help from people familiar with your handset. Good luck though, okay?
[General Questions and Answers] laurensschu:
I might be wrong but, I'm almost sure that you can't partition external memory as internal memory. But some phone's, you can repartition the internal storage. That makes that you get more room for your apps, since you probably moving your apps to the other part of the internal memory and not to the real SD card. Cause for that you should change you standart storage place.
[General Questions and Answers] linuxdep:
Samsung S Plus (I9001) alsow?

is this on I9001 alsow posible repartition memory (8GB)

have you a short plan to do this?
[General Questions and Answers] davide20:
I know you can invert internal with external SD

You have to root the phone before... then you to modify vold.fstab in system/etc with root explorer o similar app...
[General Questions and Answers] binoyw:
Yeaa...i rooted my device and moved the apps consuming higher amounts of internal memory to external memory. So now, its going fine..thanks guys.:)
